Your Blogging Expertise is Needed

[Useless]

Thanks for the excellent info, Walrus.

If anyone has any more input on this matter, please tell us soon. Once I launch this thing, I won't be able to do any major changes without screwing up the feeds.

Remember the 30% theory?

Remember you will promote your site better than others?

It is worth building it for youself and the team. That is if you and the team will use it after it is built. The theory of "build it and they will come" is bullshit in this business.

IMO, blogging is about where hfs' were a couple of years back. So jump out there with the other leaders and set the standard.

Did not ask for all of this bs, did you? See you at the staff meeting.

Opinions are like assholes--everyone has one

and quite frankly, in MY opinion, you got some very valuable imput and a good jumping off place. I've been blogging for over 4 years yet have zero clue as to what 1/2 that stuff is. Write and build what you would like to read and there will be millions of others who feel the same way.

All you need is 1% of those millions to join the program.

By team, did you mean staff?

And yeah, I know - I'll probably send more traffic to it than anyone else would (damn, I hope that's not true ), but I just want to be sure that I'm building something that'll be useful for affiliates too. I didn't spend all of that time screwing around with passing affiliate codes (and re-doing it again the other day) for my personal use. I see a need/desire for real hosted blogs and want this thing to succeed. We can only hope that my blog posts will be 25% as interesting as Ponygirl's Ode to Cocksucking on her blog.

heheh I really like blogging

I don't have much input here that's why I haven't posted. Been reading, though. I do notice so far that there is a much higher click thru ratio than I have seen on fs or my LL for instance. Hopefully that will translate to sales ratios too.

definitely thanks to Walrus for the info & UW I would love to see hosted blogs (that sounds natural) that are cared for, not just out there because everyone else has one.

You useless cocksucker. I had got myself in a decent work mode. I click on the link to PonyGirl and now my day is shot. My heart-rate went up so high, I had to go kick up the volume on my O2.

I thought Walruses post was very well thought out and indicative of a blogger who knows his stuff.

I agree, although I'm obviously quite new to the biz, it seems as though bloggers are pioneering a new form of traffic like you said. Even though I wasn't around a couple of years ago, I'll take your word for it

Well, if you are looking for info about how to not to make blog sales I can hit you with an earful!

Honestly, Walrus' blog notes made me rethink my posting style, so I just wanted to thank Walrus.

As for how to use a feed, I guess I could link to it in My Friend's Blogs like Walrus' mentioned or list it on my new linklist that takes blogs(cough) , but up to this point, the few sponsor blog feeds I have looked at have been utterly useless, and not in a cum splattered sort of way.

Now that is the question....isn't it.

While I get as excited as a whore in a sausage factory when someone mentions hosted blogs and hosted feeds, how many people are really in a position to utilize and market it. My personal feeling is a select few. Bloggers will ask and beg and cry for RSS feeds but it is my belief that most of them don't have much of an idea what they'd do with them once they got them.

But if you want to recycle your work a bit, you could save the html of each post and offer that as a pre-made hosted post (or whatever the fuck you'd call something like that).

One of the tools I really get into is Naughty Allie who offers an erotic story with her picture downloads. If I'm not in the mood to think of something to post, I grab a couple of pics and the story that goes along with it. Something like I mentioned above could work in that manner.

No, I just agree with Walrus and I only post when I have something meaningful to add.

You're doing the right thing. Ask questions, it's the only way to learn.
