Blog question

Surfinbride · October 2009

Why do people direct you to their blog? I've noticed it on other boards: Entertaining Ideas, Decorating, and Cooking. The person will write a post saying they have some great something or other, go see my blog. I understand if someone asks a question and they are sharing, but these are the original posters. If you want to post something, why not just put the info in the post? Do they get points for blog hits? Feel famous? I just don't get it.

I total agree! I think people just want to know their blog is being looked at Stick out tongue

If you have a question or the original poster than just say it in that post. Or unless they don't want to post the whole story in their blog then go and post it again on The Nest boards. I don't know, I have a blog and I could care less how many people look at it, it's just for me to gather my thoughts and ideas all in one place.

Attention Whoring. The least they could do is C+P their blog entry into their post with a link back to the blog,

I've done this two times that I can remember...the first time was when we got our new puppy and I wanted people to vote on his name (and have all the votes in one place lol), and the second time was when I miscarried and just didn't want to have to repeatedly write out the whole story several times.

But for people who do it regularly (not anyone on this board, but I have seen it on other boards), I think it might just be to increase traffic?

I do it if I don't feel like retelling the story or covered the exact issue in question in my blog. I really don't care about blog hits or fame, though, lol. Its pure laziness.

depends on the blogger. I think all the pp have valid points...some are just lazy, some are AW'ing, some feel better about themselves when they have more hits...and some honestly get money from advertising when they have more blog traffic (I have no problem admitting that I do, but it is very minimal money, I get most of my money from when someone actually clicks on an ad in my blog)

I've never even looked at how many hits my blog gets! What I do like is comments though

I guess it just lets me know people are interested in what I'm writing, although the only person that really matters is Bella because eventually I hope she'll read it (when she's much older) to see how I felt about her at a very early age!

To reward you for your honesty, I went on your blog and clicked on some ads. Wow, they do a great job identifying what people want and marketing right to it. Next to your delicious stick-of-butter cinnamon rolls, they have an ad for Pilsbury cinnamon rolls. I love it! For people who go to a food blog to learn how to make something... and then, feel lazy... click, click = easy solution.

I like when people share their blogs. It's interesting. My frustration is when they don't bother to post more than a sentence about it.

"I have a feast planned. See my blog"... couldn't they say if it's for Thanksgiving or a three year old's birthday party. I hate to go look and be disappointed (which I frequently am).

Ziz - what is your blog name?

haha - thanks!! Yes just don't go overboard b/c there is such a thing called "click fraud" and if they figure out that your friends are constantly clicking on your ads they will remove you from the program a click here and there every once in a while is fine but too often and they figure you out!!!

but it is nice b/c the ad money helps fund all the baking supplies (butter, eggs, flour, chocolate, etc) that I have to buy all the time to maintain the blog I don't really end up making money once you factor that in...
