I am new in the blogging business, the first thing I do is to post to hosted blogs, I decided I should only work on wordpress based blogs, so far we all agree that WordPress is wonderful for automated posting, managing and much more, together with Open Source License make the wordpress the most famous and versatile blogging software of all time.
After a while I believed that build my own blogs will be more beneficial, because then I can use established and fully owned blogs to advertise other websites, and I think its not a patentable idea, there are a lot of blog networks out there doing just that, the thing is that I don’t control those blogs, not to mention I can’t just post to them, probably I will have to pay quite dearly to have my sites promoted.
Its quite difficult to manage more than a few blogs manually, if you’re not using your blogs as spamming device, to write real stuff for your blogs will be time consuming, a successful blog needs a lot of hard work. There are some interesting examples, let’s examine this one, Mobile Broadband Solutions, the domain name is pretty good, the content on the site is not bad, without a clear theme, there are all kinds of posts on the site. Check this one out, chinese takeout, this blog has a theme, all topics are about same theme, and ranks well for quite a few keywords. I can show you a lot more sites, but the basics are all the same. One more important point, some of your blogs should not be very serious ones, let them get some content occasionally, just like this blog, Dog Health, your blogging network looks more natural with these casual blogs.
When you already have a few interesting blogs, you can try to build a few more, the old blogs will be helpful in promoting your newly built ones, get your own little blog network going is not that too difficult. Of course its just the beginning, the real stuff will be more complicated, do remember don’t do any black hat tricks for your sites, if you get black listed there is no come back.
