Why It Is Essential To Have Your Own Little Blogging Network
Lately I’m posting to quite a few blogs to publicize my own website, wordpress based blogs are obvious and easy choice for me, its a fact that wordpress is perfect for casual as well as professional bloggers, together with Open Source License make the WordPress the fastest growing blogging platform ever.
Lately I figured that I should build my own blogs and promote them, then I can use established and fully owned blogs to advertise other websites, and I think its not a patentable idea, there are a lot of blog networks out there doing just that, the thing is that I don’t control those blogs, in addition there is no way I can post to them, probably I will have to pay quite dearly to have my sites promoted.
Its a tedious job to maintain more than a few blogs, if you don’t like garbage on your blogs,to write interesting content is always time consuming, a successful blog needs a lot of hard work. Some blogs are quite interesting, let’s examine this one, chain Hooks and Chains, it’s name is pretty cute, the content on the site is not bad, though its not a theme focused blog, almost any interesting posts get posted on it. One more example, Chain and Cable Come-a-long, this is a themed blog, all topics are about same theme, and ranks well for quite a few keywords. I can show you a lot more sites, but I think you understand the basics now. Here is one last note, in your little net you should have some loose blogs, do some casual postings randomly, such as this blog, Grade 70 Chains and Load Binders, your blogging network looks more natural with these casual blogs.
When you already have a few interesting blogs, add more blogs when you can, then use the established blogs to promote the new ones, this is the way to build your own blogging network. It sounds pretty simple, but the real stuff will be more complicated, one of the most important things is that don’t get your site kicked out by major search engines.
