"The essence of the blogosphere" 6.3.07
To me the essence of the blogosphere is "connecting", this is done in so many ways yet some swear by some ways and vice versa.
First off...
There is no correct or incorrect way, other than spamming that is.
It's all how you define it, we all have our own ideas of whats good or not, whitehat, blackhat, or grey, I have my own view, whatever.
I like the fact to make a point of a topic, like for example, link building, I can just link to a good piece. ;o)
Linkbaiting is another term used, I much prefer to say "connecting", that is, after all what it's all about.
It's the intent that decides what is linkbaiting to me.
You need to step back and look at the bigger picture.
Looking at Lynn's post about comments had me laughing, I mean Lynn nails it right there, read it, yet to be honest for Eric to say in his own comments that James may not have done it for that reason", makes it stand out even more, it could be just that, a smart linkbaiting tactic by James... ;o)
Then Lynn makes another great post about seo.
Could I be linkbaiting here?
Who knows?
I will just agree with Lynn's comment here, to quote.
I am not suggesting that you disable commenting on your own blog. I certainly wont be doing that. I value my readers thoughts and opinions, and love the ongoing discussion here..
Here was something ironic, proof that it IS keyword links.
I digress, it's ALL about linking, seo, connecting, the whole blogosphere thrives on itself.
The key to every blog is the people, those behind the blogs.
To me the blogosphere is a rich tapestry of digital, interactive, imprints of peoples lives, thoughts, etc.
Looking at things that real people do like standing behind a counter, then blogging about it!
A GREAT idea, what blogging should be.
That's what blogging is about, sharing, connecting, maybe the others connecting to you, reading your blog, etc, spreading the reach of your blog.
Giving great tips and providing short cuts to good info is another great advantage of blogging.
The people often use controversy in getting readers and links to their blogs, sometimes it's unintentional., but works.
The debate over the secret movie is an example, Blair has been a part of the controversy himself, but hey he also does a great blog there, how does he attract them though. ;o)
These people may now check their stats and see me linking to them, or readers going to them from here, pop over here and read...again, connectivity!
If not, maybe I should call them all idiots...they may post and bash me. ;o) JOKE!
Controversy does work, depending on how you do it.
Sometimes it's stupid, yet funny! Only In America eh... JOKE! ;o)
So, the real essence of blogging and the blogosphere is CONNECTING.
Any thoughts?...
