Community Blog Catalogs: Drive More Traffic To Your Blog

Serious bloggers want readers and lots of them. If you're blogging only for family and friends as a way to stay in touch then you'll probably not want to bother with this but if that were the case you'd probably not be reading Carolina Blog Consultants.



What if you could build your own search engine and combine it with RSS as a means of driving traffic? What if I told you I've already done just that and I did it for free? What if I told you it worked.



What I'm talking about is using a blog as a data base of bloggers with alphabetical listings of all the bloggers listed there along with a search feature from Technorati, Yahoo, or another free site search. Check out BloggingPoet411.com to get an idea of what I'm talking about. Each blogger I list e-mails me their bio and if they like, pictures, and I post it all to the blog. Here's MyBloggingPoet411 so you'll know what it looks like. Also, there's an alphabetical listing of every blogger in the data base.



Another searchable data base I built is Blogsboro411, a listing of Bloggers from Greensboro, North Carolina and the North Carolina Piedmont Triad area.



And if that's not enough, to sweeten the pot for everyone I just put up BlogCommunity411 to catalog the catalogs. Since I've got my local blogging community and poetry bloggers already covered I thought why not catalog the catalogs to encourage others to build their own community data bases.



So there you have it, build a catalog of bloggers in your community, send an e-mail to idleblogs (AT) yahoo.com and I'll be more than happy to add your community catalog to BlogCommunity411 so that all of us can enjoy more traffic.

Can anyone recommend the well-priced Remote Management & Monitoring software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: [url=http://www.n-able.com] N-able N-central network manager
[/url] ? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!

I'm extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it's rare to see a nice
blog like this one these days.

You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I to find this
matter to be actually something that I think
I would by no means understand. It seems too complicated and very large
for me. I'm looking ahead for your next post, I'll attempt to get the grasp of it!
