"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?...

Raisng my vibration...LOA! 7.2.07

Interesting things happening lately, and I left it late in the day to blog, but here goes...
As I mentioned in the last post we had a chance to watch the secret.

I watched it again last night just before I slept, which I hoped I could keep it all fresh in my thoughts as a fell asleep with a possibilty of influencing my dreams.

One thought was that a guy in the secret said he kept getting bills so started to visualise getting cheques in the mail.

Well i thought "hey thats pretty cool an idea" so did think of it as I fell asleep.

Well got up today, to see two letters on the floor, it never once crossed my mind for it to be yet another bloody bill.. so I opened them.

Wow.. that was fast.. my FIRST google adsense cheque... :o)

The FIRST thing I said was "thank you".

It was great to have that in my hand and say "hey just maybe this shit works a bit."

The lesson and thoughts I got from this whole experience was great.

If you have had one you will relate to my next thought.
I have to say it was a little shocking to see it was so plain.. you know what I am saying.

Don't get me wrong, I was chuffed to finaly see a result like that but wow, did google miss a great marketing trick there? A motivational trick?

I mean the cheque is on a very plain invoice with a green backround... yet NO big "google" logo.

I would love to have seen that as it would RAISE your vibration further, just by the visual element.
I would have asked for the plain bit back at the bank and framed the bloody thing !

Am I the only one to think that?

The secret! 5.2.07

What A great weekend with my boys, we also had a chance to watch the secret, as a mate bought it on dvd after I had told him about it.

A very good "visual" lesson it was, for me and my sons.

Interesting that my sons, who are 12, and almost 14, understood it pretty well.
They grasp the fact ALL that matters is the way you feel, its the alignment of your feelings with your thoughts and actions that makes the perfect harmony for creation.

I explained we create ALL the time so why not CHOOSE what we create.. that made alot of sense to my boys.
I am glad to have watched it with them, for them to have this knowledge at their age is VERY empowering.

For me it made the understanding a little better, as you know I have read the books that speak of these laws, like "As a man thinketh" for example.

I do already know about it but I have NOT been fully utilising this or as they say "living it" in the way I should.
This has got me thinking alot and THAT is empowering itself.

I will watch the secret again and again.. for each time the knowledge will expand...by the laws of attraction itself.
I will write some interesting views on all this as I am deaf I will have a slightly different perspective than most of you...a pretty UNIQUE perspective, though we all have a unique perspective because we ARE unique.. obviously mine is from a different angle altogether.

Interesting weekend.
