Lessons worth learning - How NOT to remain anonymous on the Internet
Posted on September 19, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging | 6 Comments
I’ve been blogging for about 5 months now and I’ve definitely been enjoying the whole process: talking with other bloggers, writing about stuff I like, creating my own unique mark on the world, having people contact me asking questions, etc. It’s the last part that I just mentioned about people contacting me that I’m going to focus on for this post.
If you were to have searched my name about a year ago, Aseem Kishore, you would have found a bunch of entries about Indian baby names, some Aseem Kishore from India doing something in computers (how shocking!), and mostly a bunch of sites with either “Aseem” or “Kishore” in there separately, but not together.

Here’s a quick tip for bloggers trying to find new ideas and content their blogs. If you’re trying to write a blog full-time, one problem that can crop up and make you feel like quitting is the inability to find something new and interesting to write about. Of course, if you’re blogging about Politics or Personal Productivity, the content should probably be your own opinions or experiences in life, but if you’re writing about technology or something similar, it’s essential that you can find out about the latest things in your field.

I’ve noticed over the last few months that even though my Google traffic has been steadily increasing, I barley get a few hits a day from Yahoo and MSN combined! I’ve checked using Yahoo’s Site Explorer and have found that I have well over 200 pages in their index! In MSN, there are 161 pages in their index! Yet I still receive very little traffic and it’s nearly impossible to figure out why.

I’ve been blogging for about 5 months now and thankfully I’ve seen my search engine traffic from Google increase from about 100 visitors a day to over 1500. Over the last few months, I’ve written about 350 posts on technology, computer tips, software, etc, but other than content, one of the main reasons my blog traffic has been increasing is because I’ve focused a lot of time on marketing and advertising my blog on the Internet.
Love your blog like you love your wife and you may not end up with a blog divorce

For most people, I feel at least, a blog is just one of those cool “IN” things to do where you can post pictures of yourself drunk or talk about how much you hate school or why you like dogs more than cats. Now that’s fine for the casual blogger, but if you’re into blogging for the long run for whatever reason, to make money or to become an authority, then you have to treat your blog differently: You have to treat you blog like you would treat someone you love.
A big list of desktop blogging software/editors

With so many bloggers out there not using anything other than the default built-in blog editors for their posting, I thought it would be good to post a list of all the blog editors that I can think of. Using a blog editor can significantly increase your productivity when it comes to writing a post. While I was on Blogger, I used to spend an extra few minutes on each post inserting images, resizing images, deleting extra spaces that would appear after inserting a new image, etc.
