how do i advertise my blog service?
 

okay, so the site is up, everything works fine now.. time to get some suggestions

if you owned a service offering free blogs/journals/diaries, how would you advertise?

www.whatthefuckisthedomain.com?


j-

does that matter? (i posted it last night and gfy tore it up with some crazy blogs)

What is the url?

get a bunch of blogs going let search engines spider.. build up a nice PR and get some good rankings on Google for 'blog service', 'online journal', etc.

hopefully you'll get some nice SE traffic which will boost PR, etc. etc. in a cycle

Advertise it on other peoples blogs.

thats true.. i could make a few fake SE friendly blogs and let it grow from there, thanks

No. Of course not.

But it WOULD make the exercise a little more interesting.

talk to WMLabor, let him write some nice blogs on all different topics, hopefully you'll cover a wide variety of personal interests. do hot-topic blogs.. abortion, teen pregnancy, drug use, president bush, iraqi war, xxx porn, etc.

thanks man, im emailing gene as we speak :thumbsup

good call :winkwink: you re-design the site yet? may want to do that first and foremost :thumbsup

that's a good idea, how much do blog writers cost?

Build a TON of SEO friendly blog.

And spam blog ping service.

<-- still trying to find a good server script that fucking WORKS.

these template files are weird.. im having someone work with them though :)

What server script are you using?

Number one on my list of advice for new bloggers is:
DON'T USE A FREAKIN' BLOGGING SERVICE!
It's such a bad deal for bloggers -- all the free bandwidth and software access in the world can't compensate for their stuff being on a domain somebody else owns and controls.

I guess you have to play up the "no need to install anything, no need to have your own server or hosted space" angle, because it's all you got, even if it isn't enough for any rational person.

Not hating -- it just bugs me, watching folks struggle as they realize that their blog has become limited in some way by the blogging service they use.
