Hello everyone, I have a new blog: http://male.themodernhippy.com, and I would like some feedback if anyone is willing. One of my reasons for asking is that my blog has no real set topic. It's primarily about me and my experiences I guess. The posts are centered around whatever I feel like writing about at that point in time. I am a Web / Graphics Designer so naturally some of my posts tend to drift toward those topics. There aren't very many regarding graphics as I have another website for that. One question: Will the fact that my blog lacks a specific topic hurt my traffic? Any feedback would be excellent, Rick
I would suggest: 1) adding a fav icon 2) Create contact us page and a archives page 3) Maybe have a RSS icon at the top as well About your question, i think it woud give you a wide range of keywords to associate the site with and that is definetly not a bad thing, but i guess you will get general traffic rather than targetted traffic, unless you focus on a large niche if that makes sense ?
That makes complete sense. Good ideas. Was considering the fav icon, just hadn't gotten around to it. Your other ideas I hadn't thought of, but will incorporate. Thank you!
Blogging without a specific niche will be very hard for you to promote it. Besides, who are your targeted visitors? How can you sell a product if different kinds of people will be flocking to your blog. Not unless you have a superstar factor that anything that you write is very attractive. It is always better to focus on a single niche...
You should try to aim for a niche, that will help your gain traffic and allow you to offer something valuable to your readers.
Try to use a more attractive header, but yet it must look professional. Try to add more colors in your site too. Thanks and goodluck bro
