Trying Out A New Strategy For My Blog

    Hello Everyone,

    Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong forum!

    I am trying out a new strategy for a blog and here are some stats that i would appreciate some reflection on

    1. Time spent on each new post 1 - 2 Minutes
    2. Time Spent on marketing the new post 1 - 2 Minutes
    3. Average unique hits for new post 6
    4. Average time spent on site 3 Minutes

    This translates to about 180 uniques per hour of work!

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Anybody else using a similar strategy?

    30 posts an hour? Sounds tedious to me but if you make money from it then go for it.

    And how are you promoting?

    manual short posts of about 40-70 words.

    Forums, digg, stumble, other links

    I haven't fully monitized the site yet...I only have a adsense and if all remains constant(that is if revenue from ads increase at the same rate as uniques) than it should all be worth while.

    I am gonna give it a shot, i was just seeing if anybody else was implementing the same strategy.

    1-2 minutes on a new post seems really fast. I'd be interested in seeing how this strategy works out for you.

    I assume your are making the same post to many places and not creating original content posts every 2 minutes(is that possible)?

    You will get consistently Dugg down before long at Digg and your account suspended.
    Sounds like you make a post, then click your built-in buttons and start firing away at the social networking sites.

    How about spending an hour on one very good quality post and go for teh front page? LOL
    ...and good luck with that, all the same.

    Hi, one thing you have to watch out is to post too frequently. This can raise a flag as an objectionable spam site especially if you are using content management systems like Blogger and WordPress. But if you are using your own blogging platform, it is less of a concern but still, I will not advise that. Do it naturally but gradually is the correct way to play the game. ;)

    Sounds like you're setting some high goals for yourself. I'd be afraid of setting off all the spam bells and whistles at the social sites you're using, Digg, and the like. Like an above poster said, try quality over quantity. The more quality people find in your posts, the more they'll want to read, which means they'll keep coming back.
