The vast majority of blogs tend to have an audience of 1 -- the author himself/herself. And the vast majority of blogs fail to be captured in search engines. Even a keyword search would fail to pick up the vast majority of blogs within the first 20 pages of a search engine. If you can't get your blog adequately indexed and it fails to show up within the first 2 pages of a search, then I would say not to bother...andr70 wrote:Why not? I mean there are so many ways earning online like creating a blog or selling something
Yes, there are blogs about how to blog now! It is all becoming very crazy. I noted an advertisement for BING which used the message "information overload" as a selling point. I think people are becoming weary of it all. I am grateful for the internet though, it is an excellent research tool - Google books is a wonder of the modern age.ResearchScholar wrote:andr70 wrote:
That, essentially, is the real challenge of a blog -- trying to drive traffic to it, as it is competing literally with billions of other blogs and websites out there. If you have found a way to surmount this challenge, only then can you start to turn it into a commercial enterprise. For obvious reasons, those who have succeeded have generally been tight-lipped about sharing the basis behind their success.
This point is very true. For a social scientist you can write a solid book by using primarily research sources from the Net. (You may not be able to do so, though, for other disciplines, such as the hard sciences, or even history.)Fee Verte wrote: I am grateful for the internet though, it is an excellent research tool - Google books is a wonder of the modern age.
This is true. But I rather say work smart than work hard. Furthermore, the unpalatable truth is that you also have to throw in some financial resources to eventually get a return, which most people are loathed to do.Energyadvisor wrote:Anything is possible on the internet.
