How To Light A Fire Under A Post  

Posted by Salraz in , , ,

This post it is dedicated to all my blogger readers. Thanks to Hendra for ask me for this post:



Hm…I rarely get any comment on my post.
I wonder whether someday you gonna share us your secret how to pull a commenter to a post



Here are some tips on how to get a good discussion on your blog, producing multiple comments on each post. The post is something unique, I have posts with 30 comments and others with 3, and this variations are due to the information which you wrote in the post.



I can know when a post will get several comments depending to the type of post which it is. I classify the posts in two types, actives or passives. Basically if a post is active, it will have several comments. Instead if it is passive, it will have few comments. Now you know when you will have a good discussion on your post. Let’s check the characteristics of each type of post:



* Active Post: An active post is these which lend itself to discussion, a post which express only the point of view of the blogger. When you share your ideas with your audience, exist the possibility that someone has a different idea that yours. This is called diversity, and it is the major characteristic of the human being. If you write a post about what do you think about a service or just why do you think that my blog is good, you will get several comments of people critiquing your post, is how it works. Try in the most of possible to write post of this nature, this way you will light a fire under each post :cool: .
* Passive Post: A passive post is these which simply do not cause to discuss, the reasons could be many. Generally in this type of post, you don’t share your ideas or something related to your blog’s niche, and this is why the people don’t feel interest and don’t comment on the post. Old news and off topic posts are example of this type of posts.

Once you know the basics about the active and passive posts, you need to understand that you will not get comments if you don’t promote your posts. Being active or passive, you may submit your post to the social networks, this will attract more visitors to your blog and you will get a big burning fire on it, getting a good discussion on the submitted post.



The goal of each blogger is to get several comments on each post, but this is not possible every time. Try in the most possible to write active posts and cross your fingers to get people commenting on it :cool: .

Nice topic to share, i got this post from other site & i am here to help my friends that why i am sharing with you people. i think its cool ( mrjavo.com )

Technorati To Launch Blogger Advertising Network  

Posted by Salraz in , ,

Through a variety of sources we’ve confirmed that Technorati is making plans for a major shift in its going forward strategy, and is also considering a number of corporate development transactions.

First, they’ve been pitching venture capitalists on another round of financing. That’s not surprising - their last round, $10.5 million, was in June 2006. The company has raised a total of just over $20 million, and given that they have 25 employees, it’s time for another round. But we’ve also heard that they’ve hired Montgomery & Co. to shop the company to buyers, simultaneous to their funding pitches.

What’s more interesting, though is what we’re hearing on the product front. Technorati, under new CEO Richard Jalichandra, recently changed it site to focus more on its core blogging audience.

That change foreshadows the upcoming shift - which places the Technorati site itself as an anchor in a new blog advertising network.

Advertising networks are popular right now - Glam recently raised $85 million after transitioning, seemingly overnight, from a small web property focused on women to selling advertising for a variety of similarly-focused publishers. And John Battelle’s FM Publishing, an advertising network focused on technology blogs, recently hired investment bank Savvian to help them raise money or sell after turning down a $100 million buyout offer.

Technorati will certainly be competing head to head with FM, although sources say they’ll focus on the long tail of the market as well (FM only takes larger sites). The network will be a self-serve exchange for bloggers (and other publishers) as well as advertisers. Ad units will include both display and text ads, and will allow units to be charged on both a CPM and CPC basis. This self-service model looks a lot more like Adbrite than Glam or FM.

Technorati tags, which are very often used to describe blog posts with keywords selected by the author, would also be a natural way for Technorati to target advertising more effectively.

Technorati has also considered other strategies recently, including a blog rollup. But our understanding is that they’ve gone with the ad network idea, and are currently focusing engineers on finalizing the product.

Will the strategy work? As we’ve argued many times, ad networks suffer from fickle customers. Glam offers partners revenue guarantees based on page views (and lost $3.7 million last year on $21 million in revenue). FM has resisted guarantees to date, but lost high profile partner Digg last year to Microsoft. Others, including us, have simply sold advertising directly while continuing to work with FM. With Technorati entering the market, publishers will have yet more choices. That’s good for everyone except the ad networks competing for their business.
