Maybe It’s My Content That Sucks

Jan.22, 2008 in Blogs with 221 views

I am starting to think that I should take all the ads of my blog, there aren’t that many anyways, and just focus on getting some good content on my blog. It’s hard to pull that trigger, especially since my ad space has been making me some money.

All you ever read is that content is king. Traffic makes you money and providing for your loyal readers is a must. But what if it doesn’t work like that in your situation?

Some people start a blog to make money. Some people start a blog to convey some sort of message. Other people start a blog to get ideas out of there head. But I think most of the time, the bloggers “real estate” becomes valuable enough to sell, don’t you?

My blog was going to be about personal opinions on everything from news, sports and paranormal topics. But then I got sidetracked by reading about blogging for a living. I usually take things to the max whenever I try something new. I slowed down progress on my electronics website and picked up blogging. I read and read until I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I learned so much I think it might be part of the reason I think this blog is going nowhere fast.

I try to put together decent posts about relevant content to my topics, or other’s topics, but I think I will have to concentrate a little more on what I am typing at the moment and less on what I think I should be typing about.

Nonetheless, I dredge forward into the blogging abyss, just to see what is on the other side. Sure, I have read plenty about what is on the other side, but why can’t I go see it for myself?

Just write what interests you, your passion. Write what you know and content will just flow.

You are right. What interests me is many things. I think I will just stick with what I am doing. Thanks for the comment. Don’t forget about my 1GB memory card contest.

A blogger should never complain about his blog not being popular. You can’t expect to be ShoeMoney in 2 months don’t you?

You just need to continue writing and learning. The revenue will flow from itself as the blog gets more and more popular.

My first suggestion to you would be, REMOVE EVERYTHING UNNECESSARY FROM THE BLOG MAIN PAGE! I am talking about the premium ad think on the top, shopping ads, entrecard, bidvertiser, mybloglog. Try placing your ads on the individual post pages or use ONLY AdSense (if you are not banned).

Another suggestion from me is – change your blog theme/design. If you can afford some money, hire a professional designer for unique logo. The color scheme of the blog is bad! Lighted colors would be better.

Please note, that I do not try to criticize you or make myself sound like I know everything (in fact, I am a newbie in blogging), but I criticize you from the visitors perspective.

Thanks for the insight. This blog design was the first one that I liked and just wanted something other than the default. I am working on learning how to code my own, so hopefully I will be able to change that soon.

The ad space I am thinking of ditching. I like entrecard as a way to network my blog, but the paid ads might go.

Thanks again for reading and commenting!
