I have never had a featured post on this site, does that mean I am a bad writer? Am I boring? 

What is the system?  Do we have to answer to all the posts we like? Do we have to post every single day? Or do our posts have to be only when we feel like it or meaningful?

I have noticed that the posts that I work really hard on do not get noticed and the ones that are a bit more impromptu get more comments. Not as many as other posts I've seen but more.

To be a good blogger does one have to be focused or more relaxed?  Is there a blogging writing style that I haven't learned yet. I bet there is a knack to it. For now I feel like a Soulcast looser ha-ha.

    I don't consider myself to be a blog celeb in any way.  I'm just a humble blogger occupying a tiny little space in the blogosphere.  I've learned many things in my stay here, and one of them is this:  read others works and comment often.  The more you involve yourself in others blogs, others will come to yours.  You get exactly what you put into it here. 

    I wish you good luck in your future endeavors.  Happy blogging!

    i don't know the exact formula that's used to get you to the front page, but i do know it is directly related to the number of comments you get on your post.

    now, in order to get comments, you have to let folks know you're around.  the only way i know of to do this, is to comment on their posts. 

    even when you get to the front page, it's no reflection whatsoever on what you've written.  i know the feeling of writing something you think is really good, only to have it get few views and comments.  and then you spend two minutes on something, and it's on the front page for an entire day...

    that's just the nature of the beast i'm afraid.....so write what makes you happy, and in doing that, you'll feel much better about the whole thing- whether you get views or not.

    Good luck!

    I don't know about that either but I think Secret might be right. Keep on writing and be your self. Enjoy it , This is my advise. 
  • silverwhisper said on Apr 25, 2007....
    i believe number of views also figures into it. and i think that soulcast has said that the timing of the comments is somehow related as well, although i don't know how.

    Okay, I want to know who these soulCast celebs are. Should I be asking for autographs? ;)

    TaniaT - hi there.
    I tagged your post "porn" which I know is NOT you, but is one example of a tag that'll get Lots of Views!  There are others, but of course if like most of us here you're a "seemly, decent" girl, you'll probably not use them (often?).
    Feel free to delete the offending tag if you like, I'll understand!
     
    Keep at it - just find your own "voice"
  • TinSoldier said on Apr 25, 2007....
    I think one of the keys is to subscribe to and read a lot of different users, and post in their blogs. That might encourage them to read your blog and post comments. It's all interlinked, really.

    That's all I can think of. Good luck! I'm reading you.
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Apr 26, 2007....
    Hi Taniatanfa,

    I´m PBW, but please call me Paper = )

    I am now a lurker blogger!lol . . .or metamorphosed into one. 
    I use to be very active, but now I just enjoy reading and commenting sporadically.

    A pity ALIEN deleted his entire archive of blogs...he covered a lot of grounds that helps new bloggers, who wishes more viewership...If I may suggest read Faithfuldisciples old blogs, he too has written a lot of helpful blogs.


    Secret, said it eloquently.  What I have observed the number of comments and views, play a major role in landing one in the featured page.  SoulCast mixes relevant, controversial, funny, heart-warming thought-provoking posts on the featured page.

    One might get a lot of comments and views but somehow another blog which is just recently posted with a couple of comments will soar right past others because it is simply relevant.

    LOL

    I was so addictive in the first weeks, and I wanted to know every single nuance of SC...

    Bottomline Taniatanfa, as everyone has said, blog what is relevant to you, sooner or later you build up the readership that would earnestly appreciate you.  In the end that is more worth than a day on the featured page.

    LOL, and yeah my thought provoking posts are either middle bottom or not at all on featured page.  But as I lost my cyberspace cherry and blog about penis piercing, I soared!

    = ) All the best,

    paper~

    Dear blogger,

    Do you have Google Adsense on your website?

    Do you want make $100, $1000 or maybe $10.000 more to you Google Adsense account in a week or maybe a day?

     

    What you have to do is Keep reading this message,

    In January 2007 i start this trick, i had a good job before but i quit from it because this trick. This trick is better and getting better now. Because i earn thousands of dollar a week.

     

    I used to work alone in this tricks, but since February I’ve got my own team. They are all over my country.By the way I'm from Singapore.

     

    So, what is the trick?

    Clicking Adsense is my the trick. Yes ...Google not allowed you to click your own website. So i decide to offering people to clicking their Adsense. Of course their have to keep their mouth shut, because we don't want Google find out about it and terminate your account. Imagine ...only with US$ 100 you can pay us as a full employee for a month and do the click adsense job every day ( 6 hours 6 day) for you. Calculate your self how much money in your Adsense account after a month.

     

    How are the tricks?

    The most important thing is .........YOU CAN DO THIS IF YOU FROM OUT OF Singapore......

     

    Why?...

    Because Google will track you and terminate your account if you are from Singapore.

     

    How they track you?

    1.Tthey track you and us from your address on your google adsense account.

    2.They track you and us from IP address.

    3.They find out because your clicking the Adsense rapidly every minute and second. That is why we need six hour a day to do it. Because we don't click it every minute and every second.

     

    So ..the point is

    Google track you and us together. And they will think that you clicking your adsense by yourself from Singapore. That is why you must from out of My Country. Singapore..and that is why we come for you.

    There a lot of people try to clicking their own adsense but Google didn’t find out because they only clicking the adsense 1 or 2 link a day and they do it in 2 or 3 days a week. If they do more than that google will find out.

     

    We welcome everybody who wants to use our service. We still moving underground that is why we don't show our contact detail and web.

     

    Don't forget...we dont just clicking your adsense just like that.

    We have our sofware that make us look like keep moving and clicking your adsense from all over the country...

     

     

    Remember this...

    Google don't work manually...there millions of people have adsense on their website, that is impossible for google to monitoring them manually. So...they monitoring you by machine or software through your IP adress, Adsense account and your website.

     

    Imagine...only with US$ 100 a month you can earn more money.

    Just send the money and the link of your website to our e gold

    account: 3810825

     

    And don't forget to type your website link on your e gold message board..

     

    That"s it...then just wait for a month or check your adsense account daily see the earning... 

     

    Regards,
