Goals

Yey, we have no goals but to keep doing what we are doing.  Whatever it is, we must be doing something right.

This is not a bad way to increase web traffic and revenue by providing interesting content to the public.  Sometimes, the content can get uninteresting but heck, we are trying to get a bigger picture here.

Next year at this pace, we should be about 64,800 uniques per day that is.

Well, not that this is something we should be proud of but we are “rebuilding” this site itself.

Within 1 week, we went from 12 uniques to 132 uniques! Thanks everybody for supporting our small Web2.0 information operation.

Our goal is to become bigger than TechCrunch or Mashable. Why?

Why not, it’s all about covering the latest Web2.0+ news, and it’s fun for us! As long as we can stay passionate enough about what we are doing, we will keep growing at the 10X pace at we are at.

Peace Out!

Remember my last post about Quality vs. Quantity?

Well, after doing some testing with most of my blogs, it’s clear now that content isn’t everything.  Quantity can bring you stability of a blog’s growth while Quality can bring you a high number of niche readers.

Why do you ask?

Because content is great, only if you can couple that with great internet marketing.

You can compare to real life business.

For example, you have the greatest product in the world but no one knows about you and you end up selling very few.

It’s the same thing in the blogging world. I know many great bloggers with the highest quality content, yet their traffic, PageRank, and readership never grows over time because they don’t market themselves.

The best way for someone who is not already famous is to blog a LOT. I don’t mean to create splogs but do create original content but you must blog a LOT.

How much is blogging a lot?

Well, if you want to be serious about making money blogging or getting ahead of competition, you have to at least blog as much as your competition. You look at the Top 100 blogs in the world, they all blog no less than 24 posts per day, 1 per hour. I personally do find 1 per hour is most optimal.

If you are not John Chow and you do not already have 20K RSS readership nor 6K unique visitors per day, there is no way you will ever grow in traffic and SEO unless you start blogging like crazy.

Of course, there are always exceptions.  If you are already famous, you are a total expert on your topic, or you simply know “internet marketing”.  If that’s the case, that’s fine but if not, I highly suggest you start blogging at least 3 to 5 posts per day minimum.

Those big bloggers will beat you down and no one will hear your voice unless you can keep up with their blogging pace.

Now, if you ignore my advice and you do 1 or 2 posts per day, you will probably be okay too. (It might take you longer to reach the same goals)

24 posts per day is definitely recommended for all you bloggers serious about going “pro”.  If your topic is hard to write so many posts per day, then do focus on “fun” content.  No one likes to read a Master’s Thesis, but everyone likes a joke, humor, or something to take their mind off the long day.
