I've been blogging for years. Wrote my own system little by little and just recently switched the whole thing to Mambo.

Bump!

We need more info :)

you can get free blogs (run on the wordpress system) at:

www.free-blogging.com :thumbsup

cool posts about blogs in this thread. keep up the good work

Here's my blog. :winkwink:

http://www.gigodiary.com/

any input on this one...

My personal opinion is to always use your own server. If you host at blogspot or many other free hosting services for blog you will find that you cant upload images to them. So that REALLY hinders what you can do on them.

There is no advantage to hosting on the freeservers. If your gonna take time to set up a site and take the time to build links and traffic to it. Why do it on someone elses domain?

Last week when this thread popped up I was inspired . . . I have been hearing the blog buzz for some time and this gave me the kick in the ass that was needed. So I took one of my more brandable domains and installed wordpress and got the tweaking.

Mind you this domain was empty prior to my building with the exception of 2 submitted galleries . . . so traffic was nil.

The site went live on monday . . . today stats report a total of 20000+ page views and 9000 uniques. This is in one week folks. I did nothing special other than design a site that everyone would like and it seems the word of mouth on it has done the deed

Needless to say it has pulled 30 AFF sales . . . only totaled at 5 bucks or so . . . but I am using the revshare on that. 3 sales over at OC Cash, 2 sales over at coinscuties.com and 1 sales with dubcash.

With a little marketing wizardry these things can take off over night.

Please contact me if you have a blog and are looking to link up or something. Details are in my sig.

Blog On Fuckers!

I think blogs are way overated.

I agree . . .

Ok I'll bite.

What isnt over-rated? What do you think is one of the "up and coming" things the industry is going through or or may see? Whats your outlook on the future of the biz? And please (with atleast an educated reply) tell us why you think that blogs are over rated?

And lastly...whats your business?

I also agree!

Great results btw, we will have to speak someday and see if we can help each other out at all.

not bad at all...nice info and inputs :)

when doing a blog should it be on the root or it really doesn't matter

Talk about inspiration! This thread has been bookmarked for future reference. :)

Good stuff :) I am starting a blog soon. I got to get on my new server I am getting first.

Please explain http://www.bloglinker.com to me, I'm not sure I understand that system.

thanks for the info jizbiz

Interesting link to read, for the ones that are new to blogging:

blogs can be your friend if you know how

Definately put it in root. I would think it deserves its own domain. Secondly, if you choose your name right you can subniche it out and create dif categories and sub-blogs to add posts to...toss in some....errr...

Great stuff, hit me up if ya got any questions. :thumbsup

Its an include that allows people with bloglinker on there sites to have people instantly add links to there own sites. A link also appears going back to the site pointed to..(if i remember correctly). You will get added by quite a few blogs with that. Just make sure you have a master plan befor trading your traffic/links away anywhere.

Yes excellent article! :thumbsup And thanks SoulRebel.

excellent thread... blogs are the new media.

Stupid question: How do I syndicate through RSS? No one has ever broken it down into "RSS for Dummies" style and I'm lost. :helpme

Well tala the easiest way to explain it is to pass you a link or two.

And this page has a multitude of information.

After reading this thread I started my first blog at http://www.eroticstoriesblog.com

Can any of you blogging people take a look and let me know if I'm on the right track? Also, I am of course looking for link trades so any offers would be appreciated to help me get it going :)

Thanks for any replies.

NICE!! I love the layout, and I have to say the first story was something...

Getting any traffic yet?

Thanks Tala and I'm pleased you like the story. All the stories are actually written by Justine :)

The only traffic it's got so far is the traffic that I'm feeding it from my own sites. I'm still waiting to get listed on blog directories and am looking for link trades with other blogs.

heads up
 

WP has just released a new version, v1.5 with extended functionality.

Cheers!

LOL goddamn this was awhile ago.

Most of the info is still relevant, some not so much.

I see alot of current gfy regulars (bloggers) that this thread inspired to start blogging. :)

Your all welcome. :thumbsup

I'm going to have to remember to read this.

I (JizBiz) made this thread almost 4 years ago now, I suppose better late then never :winkwink:

Haha, quote from this thread "uhm, Wordpress? I'll have to check it out" :)

Bought traffic to "start a blog" is wasted cash...

Here's a quick little blog I whipped up to bait newbie webmasters:

Blogging works!

I do hit me up on ICQ
thanks

PS: as for blog earnings, one of my blogs made $220 (on revshare, without rebills) last month, so it definitely works...

I'd like to chat with someone using seo hosting on ICQ
so hit me up on ICQ if you have some time free.

Let me know if you need anything

I heart blogs and with as many as I've got...I'd better.

This thread and some thread by that guy Taboo inspired me to start blogging, made me buy some decent .com blog domains too, thanks :)

You are quite welcome.

:thumbsup

Does anybody know about this thing where somebody's written an adaptation to wordpress that strips all of the wordpress branding, linking, identification, etc. from the install so that it works the same, is adaptable the same, but isn't identified to the engines as a blog, but rather a "normal" site?
