You’ve heard that blogs are a great resource to begin your education or even your Business, however you discover that there are literally a million blogs you could read, so where do you start??
I can understand where they are coming from, especially since it’s quite difficult to believe which bloggers are actually telling the truth or which bloggers’ strategies actually work. Below I have listed some ideas to help the number of blogs in your feed reader:
- Do some research on the author of the blog by checking out their LinkedIn profile, MySpace Page, or other Social Networking profile.
- Find out how long the Blogger has been in the industry and how long they have been blogging for.
- Has the blogger spoken at any industry related?
- Run a site:www.blog.com command to find out how many pages the blog has indexed
- Use Yahoo Site Explorer to find how many back links the blog has.
- A couple of simple measurements are looking up the blog’s Google PageRank as well its Technorati rank.
- Feed Subscribers are an excellent way to determine how many other people think of the blog as a useful resource.
- Use Blog Influence and Text Link Ads’ Blog Juice.
- How many other industry related blogs reference this blog as well as include this blog in their blogroll or their link?
- Create a quality score of your own by adding a blog to your reader and monitoring number of posts frequently, number of strategic posts, number of breaking news posts and number of re-posts of industry news.
- Do a keyword search and try reading blogs that Google suggests in its “related blogs” section.
- Find out how many members the blog has in its community at MyBlogLog recent readers.
- Is the blogger providing valuable advice or is it just old news and outdated tactics?
- Do research for themes, or plugins as long as you like. This would be helping for enjoying your WebBlog Face,and enjoying your posting time.
