Foreign Perspectives

Then there was the Technorati favourites exchange on Wednesday which is still rumbling on and which has left behind a fair amount of work that I’ve still to catch up on at some point.

Finally on Thursday, I aided and abetted with the 2kbloggers list which may tootle on for a while as fellow bloggers catch up with it on their own blogs. Or perhaps they won’t as it causes a fair amount of hassle for a day or so after you post the list.

Is all this worth doing though? It’s impossible to say at the moment and even in a months time it’ll probably be hard to give a definitive answer. Certainly, if I’m pulling in $100 a day on adsense at that point I’ll likely attribute that to this weeks efforts but more than likely it’ll only be $1 and I might have pulled that in anyway. At present, the only thing that it’s safe to say is that my blog has a much higher profile in the blogging community than it did a week ago but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ll get significantly increased blog traffic once the efforts of this week tail off in the course of the coming week or so. What will be useful is the much improved ranking on Technorati as that should make it easier to attract links from related sites and it’s those that I think will make this weeks work worthwhile.

So now that it’s Saturday, I’m back to the other side of the fence and looking for ways to make money out of the blog and gradually working through a raft of sites that I’ve picked up. Most notably amongst those is that at Blogged-Out which has an enormous quantity of information regarding site promotion and, more importantly, making money out of it. I’ve barely scratched the surface of it at the moment and expect to be pinching great great ideas from Darren for ages to come.
