How to write an entry

How to write an entry

Telling you how to write an entry into your own blog is a lot like telling you how to make love. no one can really help you find your own techniques, but, we can give you the basics of what works and what doesnt.

One of the largest problems with commercial bloggers is that they are two commercial. Sure, if you are selling bike clips and do nothing but write about bike clips you'll eventually get some search engine hits about bike clips.

But by every standpoint its better to create an interestnig blog about biking and your personal adventures in biking. Not only will you recieve those same search engine hits but you'll recieve loyal readers who enjoy your voice.

So, what I'm saying here is.... just like when making love, there is the technical aspects and then there is the technique.

Lets imagine I want to write about a brand new site I found today called "Greenguys Link-O-Rama". Here is a technical entry about it.

"Greenguy's link-o-rama has tens of thousands of categorized porn links. The background is black and the text is green! The amateur section alone has over a thousand links!"

Boring. What might be a little more interesting and keyword savvy would be this

"Well, today I was out looking for something to jack off to. I was over at my usual site, Cfporn.com and I found a link on the main page to something called Greenguys link o rama.

"First off this site is fucking hilarious. he uses this little green mascot on just about every page, its an animated gif, and he has to have about a thousand of them. You can tell this guy doesnt take life too seriously.

"I'd imagine he's got about few tens of thousands of porn links up there. I spent most of the afternoon pounding it to his amateur category. I counted no less then 50 Raven Riley links on there, christ, I Think I sprained my dick. So if you're looking for a new place to pound it I'd suggest starting Here "

Can you see the difference between the two postings?

The first is like listening to Dan Rather read it off a teleprompter.

The second is a little more like listening to howard stern talk about things with Artie. Its just fun to read.

And its just one example of the many voices out there that people tune in to read every day on the blogsphere. Some people _ARe_ very technical. Some people are very FUNNY. Some are weird. Some are obscure. Some are crazy.

But they all have a unique voice with one thing in common. They're fun to read.

Finding your own voice, your own writing style, and making it interesting is what will make or break you here.
