What Have I Learned?

Regular readers (subscribers) are looking for completely different things than searchers via Google. Most search engine traffic for the television and movie reviews which is why I persist in doing them. They’re less time sensitive and “breaking news” oriented and get very few comments.
Networking is essentially promotion, and could be as simple as logging into MyBlogLog and visiting all the blogs you read. I really fell off doing this during the middle of the year and this likely caused my subscribers to plateau. I also surrendered crafting content that is particular to “digg bait”. I’m not sure if I’m interested in doing either in the near future, but I could do better at linking to lesser known blogs and participating in social networking websites.
I think I’ve hit a level of posting that is comfortable for me and doesn’t set myself up for burnout. For me, that’s once a day with a few days skipped every once in a while.
I find it’s quite easy to get sidetracked as the initial blogging thrill has certainly worn off. For example, my third contest totally fell apart because I got caught up in other projects. I hope to revive contests in 2008 because I really want to make good on my promise to return ad revenue to the readers.

Anyhow thanks for continuing to read the blog. If you’re a long time reader, I hope you’ll continue reading in the new year. Thanks for the support.
