What TheBloggStory is about

Hey guys,
I found this video online, How Yaro Stark Created a 10,000/month blogging empire, and thought it was very insightful. He briefly talks about how most bloggers who blog about a journey whether it is weight loss, making money, etc... merely regurgitate material rather than test the material and share the results. Having seen this I wanted to clarify that this blog is based around researching seo, blog promotion, advertisement techniques, etc... and applying them to this very blog and then sharing my results with you. This is not a blog about theory but about actually applying the theory and how to do so. I also want this blog to be as much about myself as it is about you and your comments. This is my first blog so in some cases you might actually know more than I do and if that is the case please share.
Thanks

Infographics

As you might have noticed a couple of posts down I have an infographic. An info-graphic is, well... a graphic with information in it. But more importantly it contains a link to the originating website. During the first few days of this blog I sought to spread the word by linking to our site using forums such as YouTube, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and etc... I also thought that hosting an image on Deviant-art or Google images, for example, might help to tap into another type of reader. This, however, I had not got around to doing. Today, I came across this article detailing how infographics can be great for the propagation of advertisements and references to origin site and realized that I had already succumbed to this tactic.

Why did I have an infographic on my site? I had one because It was much easier to copy the image than retype the information in my own words.

The image not only contains the information but also a link to the original website. This acts to redirect traffic to their website but also to increase the page rank. One of the factors that Google uses to determine the grade of content on a page is to measure the number of references to it.

In conclusion, use infographics because:

• They are informative 
• Easily propagate through the internet
• Redirect traffic to your page
• Increase your page rank

I think I will begin creating some infographics.

Thanks again. Comments, advice and grammatical corrections are welcome.

Ramblings #1

Hello all, (aka. myself, my mom and that strange guy down the street)

     Approximately 6 hours have passed since my last activity on the blog. We are currently at about a total of 81 page views, and no likes or shares of any nature.






I have Just modified the layout, style, and background of the webpage as to create a more personal experience.

Currently, I am attempting to get the word out about the website, so I have posted the page to Reddit at the link, TheBloggStory: the chronicle of a bloggs rise to fame and fortune, as well as StumbleUpon. Today, I will continue to promote the site by posting on forums, blogs and websites, so that I might increase the flow of viewers to the website.

I will also attempt to add content and revise some of the previous content on the page.

In summary my objective today are to:
1. Put our link out in as many places as possible to generate flow of viewers to webpage.
2. Modify webpage so that they stay, read, like and potentially become a subscriber to the cause.

Thanks again!

In the Beginning...

"The moon gazed on my midnight labours, while, with unrelaxed and breathless eagerness, I pursued nature to her hiding-places. Who shall conceive the horrors of my secret toil as I dabbled among the unhallowed damps of the grave or tortured the living animal to animate lifeless clay? My limbs now tremble, and my eyes swim with the remembrance; but then a resistless and almost frantic impulse urged me forward; I seemed to have lost all soul or sensation but for this one pursuit."

-Mary Shelley

     It was the dark and stormy night of June 30th, when I, in a rage fueled by overwhelming amounts of caffeine, created... TheBloggStory.

     TheBloggStory is an attempt to chronicle a small blogg's rise to fame and fortune by means of genius SEO, promotion, your help and a little luck -- a man can dream right? Personally, this is my first endeavor in publishing to the interwebs, but hope it proves successful in both reaching a substancial number of viewers, and in shedding some light on the process for both myself and engaged followers.

     I will attempt to record major promotion moves and whatnot by making posts detailing exactly what has been done and when it occured. As far as promotions sponsored by other viewers, a comment on the most recent blog post will have to suffice until a better method is created, that is if it is needed. Having said this, all the support we can get is appreciated. With this I say ado and leave you with the following quote -- I believe it goes something like this:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. Reddit."

-Mark Twain
