Create and Maintain Your Own Blogs
Not long ago I figured that blogging is an effective way to promote websites, wordpress based blogs are obvious and easy choice for me, its a fact that WordPress is ideal for almost all kinds of blogging needs, people even use it as CMS, with the fact that its licensed under GPL make the wordpress the fastest growing blogging platform ever.
Lately I figured that I should build my own blogs and promote them, afterwards I can use the already built blogs to promote whatever I want, of course this is not a new idea, the existence of blog networks already says it all, the thing is that I don’t control those blogs, and I have no way to post to those blogs, its easy to understand that the price on those networks won’t be cheap.
Its a tedious job to maintain more than a few blogs, if you want values for your blogs,to write interesting content is always time consuming, its never easy to build successful blogs. Check out a couple of interesting blogs, such as this one, Jade Stone, the domain name is pretty good, and it has a lot of interesting posts, though its not a theme focused blog, almost any interesting posts get posted on it. One more example, Retractable Dog Leash, this is a themed blog, all topics are about same theme, and ranks well for quite a few keywords. there are more sites like these out there, but you should already see the point. Here is one last note, you should build some casual blogs, let them get some content occasionally, take one blog as example, Best Linux Hosting, this will make a blog network more like naturally built blog groups.
When you already have a few interesting blogs, add more blogs when you can, use the old ones to promote the new ones, get your own little blog network going is not that too difficult. Of course its just the beginning, to build a successful network will be much more complicated, do remember don’t do any black hat tricks for your sites, if you get dropped off there is no come back.
