There’s a discussion brewing over at the Webtools Collection post “Top 6 Most Prolific Bloggers” listing 6 of the “most prolific” bloggers with 1,000 or more posts. (courtesy of Darren Rowse’s Speedlinking 4 March 2007).
Does post quantity lead to a better reader experience?
It would, especially if you’re giving your readers more choice, and they’re likely to find something that interests them.
At the same time though, we have Continue reading
I’ve received email from a reader asking:
“You’re not updating your blog as regularly as you used to. Sometimes you skip entire days.
Are you giving up blogging?
What happened?
Please continue blogging, I enjoy your style and your (sic) explain things in a way I understand easily”
I appreciate getting emails, especially when concerned readers write in.
It is true that I am not blogging as regularly as I have been. I don’t see anything ending anytime soon.
The truth is I’ve been working on a very interesting project over the past month, which will culminate in an interesting session this weekend.
I’ve been hanging out with this dude:
That’s me on the left with Internet Marketing guru, Jo Han Mok
Jo Han’s one of the best minds around when it comes to product creation/development, copywriting and traffic generation and he has been in the Internet Marketing game for some time.
If you haven’t already checked out Continue reading
Take note if you’re blogging on the WordPress Platform, a cracker has introduced a security exploit into one of the WordPress 2.1.1 download servers at WordPress.org, which could potentially open security holes in your installation.
For the WordPress development team to label this as a “WordPress 2.1.1 Dangerous, Upgrade” hints at the severity of this.
WordPress upgrades can involve some pain, especially if your existing plugins may not be fully compatible with the new code.
As always:
Yes, some of the steps seems repetitive, but it could Continue reading
If you actively use blogging for branding or income generation, take note of the WordPress upgrades available.
A number of prominent Internet Marketers WordPress 2.0.5 blogs had been hacked into, and the WordPress development team launched WordPress 2.0.7 to address the issue within a short timespan, even as they were about to launch their next major upgrade, the WordPress 2.1 series.
I’d been holding back on upgrading, even though test WordPress 2.1.1 installations showed that the blogs were running much faster, due to a major factor.
In this case, slower adopters stand to benefit, as a number of plugins have been shown to be not fully compatible with WordPress 2.1.
If you’re a WordPress blogger, you’d know that WordPress plugins are the lifeblood of any serious blogger. They add an unparalled degree of functionality and bring the WordPress platform to a whole new level, compared to other blogging platforms.
After reading that the new WordPress has difficulty playing nicely with my major Tag-related plugin, Tag Warrior, I’d held back till there seemed to be some stablity.
I’d finally launched into the new platform, wishing for the best.
Besides a hiccup with Continue reading
I was shocked, dumbfounded and aghast when I saw this top Internet Marketer doing what seemed to be promotion of hardcore pornography, “sex enhancement” pills and gambling on their personal blog.
Had something happened?
I have been reading some of their emails, visiting their site regularly and have even bought a number of their products.
Had they moved to the “dark side”?
I looked at my screen again:
And even Continue reading
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to share the stage with Internet Marketing Guru Jo Han Mok and we shared some of our insider strategies.
The crowd has been expecting some blogging tips, but sadly I had to disappoint.
Instead, I’m getting a number of positive vibes about the traffic strategies I’ve developed over the past couple of months.
It has been a funny experience, just seeing the traffic surge every month by between 50% and 100%.
January was an especially good month with more than 7,500 unique visitors heading over.
This month looks like it’ll bust that fairly easily.
I think one major difference between what I’ve been doing with my Social Traffic Generation and the Spike/Surge strategies used by other Internet Marketers, is that the traffic I generate is very Continue reading
