My top 10 Blogs and what made them.

Danny... I agree and disagree when it comes to a title of a blog. The title in my opinion is who you are trying to write to. Do you want AR people to read your blog and give you lots of comments?  Or do you want many consumers to contact you?  This is just my .02, but AR is a social platform more than a business platform. The highlights of AR from a social scene is to be recognized by those on AR... get features... climb the dashboard. I don't care who they are and that they say the opposite, but many are looking to achieve what I mentioned. Or, do you want consumers to read your posts?  There is no right or wrong reason.....  but I do see more writing to the people here on AR, but they talk about slow business. If you want to write to the consumer, remember that your first four letters of a title are the most important. These words are what are searched online.  Just some info depending on what you want. I say this because many mortgage blogs are boring. I wrote one today, just two comments. Oh well...my goal, hopefully a client from it. A blog like this?  Will get a lot more read and feedback. But you have to be happy with want you truly want. 

In regards to some of your posts mentioned, I read a few and need to read the others.  And 100 blogs in just 2 months?  Just a thought... keep in mind. If you write 2 to 3 blogs a day, you will have the likely hood of less comments from time to time also. Why?  If you are on someone's subscribe list, they usually go to your last blog. Sometimes to the last 2... just food for thought.

Danny.... first off, I am not trying to tell you what to write. And I am sure that you know that. And I have only been blogging since October 2006, so I am not an expert. It all comes down to why you write and what you are trying to achieve. Part of what I was trying to get across though, if comments make you happy and you want to see more, sometimes you need to space the blogs accordingly....even if you have a following. But again, write what you want to write.... what makes you feel good. 

In regards to the title.... a catchy title is good, but really only for those on AR, to click onto your blog and possibly read it. From what I know and have learned, this won't do much for you if you are trying to attract consumers. Again, the first 4 letters are key and how people find you.

Danny,

You do a great job with your posts.  They are always a pleasure to read.  I look forward to the next 100.

Isn't amazing how many people read a post and NOT comment?

Danny,

Keep up the good work.  I find that the posts that get the most comments are those that are education and humerous. 

I look forward to your next 100.

I'm pretty new to the AR and haven't posted much yet.  The ones I do have out there seem to be getting some action from google-land and consumers as I've tried to put out some consumer-related information.  Nice insight into what's been working for you.

Hmmmm.... I didn't realize I put two up there.  Must have been one of those AR hiccups.

(my graphic word at the bottom right now.... "martin")

Danny good stuff...

I find writing therapeutic also and I hope you do too.  Keep writing.
