I’m Back!

I’m back for some blog loving!

I know, it has been too long since I have this blog updated. Been busy. Chos.

First off, I’m less a PR ranking. Tut-tut, I still value Page Ranks, I’m that old-fashioned, I tell ya.

So I’m gonna be reading more on topics that get my interest (yes, and not just almost only about diet pill that works), put my thinking cap on and put it to good use, brush up on the writing thingamajig and blog.

I just hope the writing fairy will get to visit me more often.

The End of Blogging is at Hand

Is it the end of blogging as Social Media and Microblogging sites gain momentous popularity?

Let me rephrase that, is blogging so 2006, said with emphasis on soooo and with rolling eyes? (this was the year I started blogging, LOL). Did people lose their passion for blogging?

Should I get my tumblr account then? I already have a Facebook page for my teacher blog and am thinking of doing another Facebook page for my other blogs. Nah, probably not yet but if blog traffic don’t improve, I might do that soon, if only it drives traffic to the blogs. Real traffic and not spam comments.

Years ago, when bloggers were still a source of honest-to-goodness-unbiased-and-not-given-freebies-and-tokens-to-create-buzz-marketing reviews of everything from restaurants, products, resorts, colon cleansing, spa, hotels and products and services, blogs were revered.

Now, people are more discerning and can sniff a real review from a not-so-real one. I’ve got people asking me about this because they’ve read the same contents in blog posts from one blog to another.

Netizens, especially the younger generation have too little attention span to read or write blogs so they love the 140 character status updates of Twitter -> to please follow me there: TeacherJulie (why, they even make this as a public announcement for friends to avoid spending on sms, 😀 ), the status update in Facebook and the reblogging and copy-pasting in Tumblr.

I’d stick to blogging. For now.

Secret Blog

I’ve recently started a new blog but that is still a “secret” blog for now because I plan to put some posts first before I make it public.Yes, I’m announcing I have a secret blog, toinks!

I’ve been debating with myself whether it is going to be a beauty products related blog for which I still have a lot to learn more. I’m not that big on buying beauty products for my needs are simple (read: I’m not high maintenance when it comes to this aspect) enough.

The blog topic I chose was therefore not that topic above. I know my topic of choice is one that many has for their blogs and I may stand a chance at writing posts that are at par with those I consider great among the lot but hey, we can’t know until we try, right?

I hope I don’t eat my words when I’ll say I would try to better this skill  😉

Blog Traffic Through the Use of Social Media

Yes, the use of Social Media increases blog traffic and/or page views.

Social media sites can help increase your blog traffic. Among those social media tools can use are Twitter, Facebook, Google Buzz, Digg, LinkedIn and the list goes on and on.

Of course, to get the hits you are aiming for, it is important to invest time and energy to put your blog links to these sites.

Here are a few tips to increase blog traffic through the use of social media sites:

  • Make sure your topic is interesting enough to be read by others. In other words: Content is STILL king!
  • Be precise and write using words that can be easily understood.
  • Do not try to attempt to do link baiting by writing a trending topic link only to find out that the post is entirely about a different topic
  • Be straightforward in writing your topics. If you need to write how people can buy term life insurance, then do not attach a link entitled “top 10 cutest pet puppies”
  • Schedule putting the links depending on the location of your readers
  • Visit other blogs or sites and make yourself “visible” by engaging in a virtual conversation. Pretty soon, these writers will visit you too

Given the know-how on how you can promote your blog is not that much important if you do not write good contents. So start writing good quality blog posts and you will soon see that people will read what you wrote.

Your readers agreeing or disagreeing with what you wrote is another matter of course 😉
