Thumbs up How's your blog? Get YOUR name out...

I've noticed that the "how's my blog?" thread is doing well, so I thought I'd use this post to turn the attention back to some of you that have been viewing, but not commenting. Let's get some links posted in here to YOUR blogs, websites, etc...

I've followed the links in a many of the signatures I see here, and there is some good stuff.

Take a minute to post a link to your blog, along with a few compelling reasons for everyone to take a quick look!
_______________________________________

My personal blog is JustinRazmus.com.

Why you should visit:
Good information on making money. Some great weight loss tips. Random nonsense, like a video of a super small helicopter that lifts a full grown adult. Tips on getting more website traffic.

Feel free to say anything good or bad about the site, I am not easily offended. But if you do offer feedback, be sure to include a link to your site so you can join in the fun!

Hi Justin, I have had a look at your website and really like it. Have added it to my favourites and will read more of it over the next few days.

My website falls in the category of people who have read what I have written but not commented.

I believe my site is excellent assisting people to improve their money skills. I have spent over 4 years on it and there is lots of information to help people all over the world.

Gemini15 I really like how you have a series of articles instead of a "blog" per se. Seems like less pressure that way. How do you do trafficwise and moneywise?

My blog is Tri-Freedom, sort of in the incubation stage still.

Default Presenting and public speaking

That's what I do, so that's what the blog's about!

It's called the Telling People Presentations blog and it's been kicking around for a few years now; to be honest the readership isn't huge but it's a very useful resource for people either who've we've trained or who want to get some free advice without coming along to training. (You can probably guess which one of those the bank manager prefers! )

All I've got to do is find time to read blogs as well as write one!

Nice blogs... not really my cup of tea subject-wise, though.

My site/blog is at Jim Offerman - inspirational piano pop for you

The reason to visit would be my music. My blog is mostly about "the story behind the music" interspersed with some light PD articles and music industry comments.

(I've just recently changed the layout to reflect the musical focus of the site, it used to be much more blog-like)

Your music sounds really professional! When you tour do you play both the piano and sing while someone else plays guitar?

I'm just a beginner in the blogosphere but hoping to learn a lot and have a lot of fun too. My site is adriannedecotes.com. The reason to visit would be to sign up for a free intuitive reading with me. The reading is on discovering your Primary Life Lesson - if life is a school then isn't it good to know the curriculum?

Basically, yes. I play guitar as well, but doing that while playing the piano has proven a bit problematic to say the least...

Traffic wise at present is very low ie about 250 unique hits per month. Having said that I have not concentrated on marketing at all, just getting the site up and running where it provides great information. Given I have put out 31 newsletters and 58 articles so in total about 150 different pieces of information I am now happy with money100. Especially as some of the articles go for about 3-4 pages.

I have not received any income from the site at all as yet. The money100 store where I have handpicked about 70 books/DVD's & CD's should go well outside Australia as freight costs are low. As Amazon don't have a site in Australia the transport costs and differences in exchange rates makes it harder to sell goods.

As noted in my post "Best money website in the world" and response re E Book this is something I will have to look into as the information is there just have to work out how to do it.

Thanks for asking the question.

Hi runningbird, no income and about 250 hits per month

What is your site?

Would it be of advantage to list it in your signature?

Unhappy 5 readers (tops)/nonprofit

Madam Launch's 3rd
Hm… What'm I thinking? I'm thinking something, but I don't know what it is.

It's a blog mostly about fighting-games, as those are what I mostly think about. I've recently started a programming-tutorial that is intended to teach someone how to use C++ moreso than actually teach the "grammar" of the language. I also want to get in the habit of posting songs I've written. Most of the blog is from when I was updating about the daily progress of my game-development project(s): only a few of the most recent posts are written like "standalone articles."

The first part of my tutorial-series is being rewritten in a few critical areas: if you can even understand it, don't trust it.

The quotes at the beginning at (most) every post is something that really was said around me near the time of the post's composition: alot of the time, I'm a participant in the dialogues. The videos are also snippets of recent personal history.

Some language may be "mature."

Gemini - your worm farming article was excellent, and I have Stumbled it for you (and filed it under Environment) - hopefully you should get some hits from that.

Re making money - you are not making any because you don't have any ads on your site. Try putting one block of Google Adsense in the left sidebar, as high up as you can

Did you mean my worm farming article?

If so thanks,

But I think I am going to tear everything down and start over. I need to do more brainstorming on articles and make it more professional.

Thumbs up

I'm still a novice blogger with zero audience and no income. Sounds attractive?

Anyway, since I already created a thread earlier for my blog at this forum, I invite you to drop an eye over here: click-click. You can also access my blog from below signature directly.

As you can likely see from my signature, my blog is Gaming My Way.

You should visit if you're a gamer, whether it's tabletop rpgs, console games, or PC games you like, though it's definitely slanted towards the first two as that's where I have the most experience. If you read a few posts, you'll likely learn soon I have some strong opinions when it comes to gaming, and I like to share them. You might also notice I'm still finding my voice, even though it's been close to a year, but I think I'm getting closer as time goes on.

It's my hope that sharing enough of my own views on gaming, along with other gaming related materials, will contribute in some small way to push games to become better, and to help people learn what's right for them when it comes to gaming, whether they agree or disagree with my stances.

Certainly feel free to visit as well if you're simply interested in gaming, just be aware that some posts are written assuming that the reader is moderately familiar with gaming.

aporia

It's largely a personal blog, probably for those who have a taste for creativity.
I write about my daily experiences sometimes in first person & sometimes in 3rd person (since I want to be a novelist).

I have about ten regular readers at the moment. Since this is kind of a diary they all get different perspectives from it and on average I get 70 views a day.
I haven't figured out how to turn it into a money machine yet.

Default Something I should have said first time!

Don't know why I forgot to mention this.... although the default in Wordpress is NOFOLLOW, I've installed one of the add-ons which disable this. That means my presentation skills blog passes on the link-love to anyone who comments. In other words, if you comment you not only contribute but you get a valid inbound link to your website which Google likes.

ggwbach,

Beautiful music!

Aporia (Ria), I love your writing style. I particularly enjoyed your article All the way. Also, you're gorgeous. Are you by any chance into photography as well?

The following is my blog. Do not be fooled by the 'pua' part of the domain name. If you go through, there is actual zero 'pua' material, but there IS dating material, spirituality, appreciation, love, goals, and so on.

I'll greatly appreciate if you took note of the following articles:

Awesome blogs, you all! I think I just learned about TEN new things, all of which are going to help me pay down my mortgage, reach my personal goals, and improve my communications skills. What a cool variety (and some great music to boot!)

My site is www.SofaCoins.com, where you can find daily tips for saving money in your everyday activities. I figure we can all use a little change in our lives (no...pun...intended).
