Should You Sacrifice Top Placing In Blog Awards? April 30, 2007

Posted by Andrew Wee in : blogging , 3 comments

A key metric typically used to measure blog popularity is the number of bloglines subscribers or feedburner subscribers. These measures give an idea of the number of subscribers you have to your RSS feed.

In theory, this represents your “subscriber core” and indicates how ’sticky’ your content is.

You might think this blog fares abysmally, according to Text Link Ads “Blog Juice” calculator. text link ads blog juice

A 5.4 out of a supposed 10 ranking?

Let’s look at the components of the score:

From the example above, the low number of bloglines subscribers (32) has hit my rankings hard.

De-emphasizing bloglines subscribers and feedburner subscribers (also a set of RSS subscribers) would be detrimental to your rankings.

Why would anyone want to do this?

In that case, why would a blogger deliberately aim for low RSS subscriber numbers?

MyBlogLog On the Spam Trail

Posted by Andrew Wee in : social traffic , 1 comment so far

I was somewhat happy (in a perverse way) when I saw this message in my MyBlogLog message center. It read:

I am the granddaughter of the General Abirudhdklf and recently $20 million has come into my possession…

A-ha! Had the MyBlogLog guardians fallen asleep?

It seems like common sense, but if your blog carries your name or your businesses’ name, then the weight of monitoring or moderating the blog lies on you or a representative you name.you must take ownership of your blog

A tactic among spam marketers seems to be placing innocent comments on blog posts to do a recon on the comment procedures on a blog.

It typically involves a generic comment like “Hi” or “Nice blog”, and it may have an originating domain, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Which seems innocent and you might be tempted (more…)
