[cfaussie] Re: blogging for fun and profit (BlogCFC Vs Wordpress)
In my experience most of your reader share going to find you via other means than mostly Google (curious to see what others have found in this btw). My blog is in the top 5% of Microsoft blogs (fair whack of readers) and majority of my readership simply find me, add me to their RSS Reading agent of choice and leave it at that. The ones that don't are usually the ones that come from external linking and usually to throw some abuse / support my way on whatever today's topic is. The key to it is to ensure your blog RSS serves up the complete post from end to end. As you don't want to make them read to get more as that just ticks them off further and not only that i've found if you do, it reduces your chances of them sharing you around (sounds like a prison story). It pays to give out a feedburner.com style RSS feed instead of your own, as if you decide to switch in and out of blogging tools, it won't disrupt your subscribed readers. This site also helps you ascertain how many readers subscribe to you as well (not accurate but close enough). It gives you a break down of how they are reading you as well (ie Surprisingly Outlook 2007 has majority 64% of the lion share but i'm stoked for Nick and Feedmon). I'd also shop around for some analytics tools, probably slap two into the code to keep a benchmark as not all are accurate. If you've got hands on access to your code or want to, also think about tracking those who comment the most on your blog and more importantly keep an eye on your topics of choice. In that for my blog anything Adobe Compete gets a spike from new/old readers whilst talking RIA also brings them out. If i mention anything personal related or left field, I get about a 10-15% read if that.. I find that comments aren't a good gauge to judge a blogs popularity by. I at times used to get disenchanted that I hardly got comments (mostly the pro-adobe-i'm-annoyed-at-you-barnes crowd) and thought I must not have a readership that cares? yet every time I try and change it up in a different route, i get complaints direct.. so understand your audience once they settle in with you and make sure you talk about what you think is relevant to you first, but also to those whom are reading as the purpose of a corporate blog is really to drive home an insiders view of whats going on... not so much my cat dipped his head in the water, it was so funny.. as then you're effectively talk by yourself ;) Windows Live Writer is freakin awesome, iv'e not heard a bad thing about it from any blogger yet and it's by far the easiest way I've ever encountered to blog with, so make sure your solution can use that (not sure if BlogCFC has one, I had intended to write one many moons ago but workload crumbled over the top of me on it). As my big chief (COO) would say ..Here are you Go Do's.. - Use Feedburner.com to hand out your RSS, and stray away from given folks access to your direct RSS/XML feed. - Use more than 2 analytics services to track your audience. - Use a client tool like Windows Live Writer as it just makes life easier (whether you like/dislike Microsoft) - oh and J.J. Allaire's team wrote it, so it's kosher for you all ;) - Listen to your audience, monitor them and talk with them, not at them. Unless your blogging due to some therapeutic way of channeling your thoughts, in which case you blog for you, not readers.. I do both.. - Your blog engine of choice matters little, so long as you give me the full post in your RSS feed.. don't make me click or else.. - Watch for spam, it will ruin your day / blog and that also goes for aggregators. As what they do is aggregate your blog, make money off the ads and creep into Google / Live.com search rankings.. You can't stop them but don't link back to them via automated ping/trackbacks. Keep your comments clean as if people subscribe to them, and spam keeps rolling in, it alienates your audience. - Syndication (MXNA, FullAsAGoog etc) can help you reach new audiences, but don't use it as your main source of marketing, learn to go beyond them as it will teach you a whole new level of blogging ;) - Have fun and blog smart.. in that if you blog for a company, pay attention to legal / PR related issues... (ie 2wks in Ted and I had a dust up and Andrew's crew - builderAU - decided it was news worthy.. I didn't mind PR ringing me but Legal was a pain in the butt as they never share my sense of humour hehe). - Watch spelling and grammar but don't put to much emphasis on it, humans are great at skim reading and pattern recognition.. except Mark @ Gruden will argue that point ;) .. than vs then.. ok ok.. I got it.. If you can spare the cash, check out a commercial writing course, i'm doing one this year focused on journalism style writing..(hints taken all) - Use mind mapping software to structure your posts. Last week I started this and have found it to be a useful tool as it will
[cfaussie] Re: blogging for fun and profit (BlogCFC Vs Wordpress)
I definitely want to ditto FeedBurner. It is a great tool. They also do 'generic' blog stats as well as feed stats, so you can do it all with them, but as Scott says, it doesn't hrt to have multiple sources. All together I have FB for feed stats, FB for web stats, and Google Analytics for web stats. About the only thing I'm not sure I agree with is the 'feeds with full articles' thing. My feeds are a mix of full articles and article previews. Any long article is normally syndicated in a short form. I think this helps keep the feed size down, and I think it helps drive more traffic. I do seem to notice more hits for articles like that.

On Jan 20, 2008 2:12 AM, Raymond Camden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: stuff about blogging Heya peeps, I've only just signed up to CFAUSSIE again after a while away - so hi again guys! Seeing as this thread is about blogs I thought I'd mention a couple of resources: There's a Google Group specifically for ColdFusion bloggers: http://groups.google.com/group/cfbloggers There's also a new forum that has been set up specifically for Australian bloggers. It has a very, very general focus - most of the people on there are not technical people at all - but there are topics covering a lot of the basics, and current issues around spam management, promotion, finding and keeping traffic, etc: http://www.aussiebloggers.com.au/ Again, they're NOT geeks over there, but they are passionate about blogging and very helpful. With the WordPress vs anything topic, like others have said there's no magic thing that WordPress does that gets posts into Google quicker. I am a huge fan of WordPress (all my blogs run off it, and many of my client sites are powered or partially powered by WordPress) but any blog engine can get results if it formats things in a search engine friendly manner. Google Sitemaps are designed for exposing content that is not crawlable by Google. Your blog posts should NOT fall into that category, so Google Sitemaps are unnecessary for blogs (and a bit dangerous, because if you have one and something goes wrong with it, or you don't monitor it or whatever, it can damage your Google rankings). I have used sitemaps on sites that have useful content hidden in Flex and Flash apps. The sitemap links to a html version of that content, but every link on that HTML page points real visitors back to the Flex or Flash version. That's what they're designed for. Having a Google sitemap guarantees the links in it get crawled - it does NOT guarantee they get indexed. To get your posts picked up quickly by search engines, you should use ping services. I don't know what services Blog CFC pings by default but I ping about 60 on each of my WordPress blogs. I've just realised my list is quite old so I'll be updating it soon. Having good semantic HTML structure is also helpful - and making sure your posts titles are well formatted (title first, not your blog name) is important. Search engine friendly url structure also matter - keywords in urls instead of id numbers or worse still, UUIDs. I use the following format (the index.php is unfortunate, but a side-effect of running php on iis on the same account as CF): http://kay.smoljak.com/index.php/awia-presents-ideas-4-with-lisa-herrod-and-rachel-cook/ As for WordPress plugins, there are thousands, but I use the following: add meta tags - to allow me to add custom or automated unique meta descriptions to posts (good for seo) akismet - awesome spam protection code markup - for posting source code with formatting comment timeout - to automatically close comments on posts after a certain period of time (this cut down almost ALL the blog spam that got through Askismet) email immunizer - encodes email addresses to protect mailto links from spam harvesters maintenance mode - shows a custom splash screen during site maintenance optimal title - for title element formatting (for seo) related posts - automatically generates a list of related posts based on keywords in the article subscribe to comments - allow people to get an email when new comments come in on a post they're following rss footer - puts the full link back to your blog post in the rss feed so if it gets scraped or used elsewhere you still benefit database backup - emails me a mysql db backup at specified intervals wp-polls - like it says, polls theme test drive - lets you try out new themes that are only applied for the logged in admin user Like Scott said, it would be great to see more CFAussie peeps contributing to the blog mass!

I just noticed the Sitemaps generator project on RIAForge yesterday and was going to look at adding it in today. Thanks Ray, now I don't need to. SEO is just SEO. Wordpress doesn't have a monopoly on it and any tweeking to be Google friendly can be applied anywhere - if needed. I'm facing bias to be sure, so I need to prove the worth of what I'm backing. now, to see about adding a RichText editor into it...

I find blogspot quite good. I did use BlogCFC for a while and I use it still with learnCF, but the editing is a bit to manual for my liking. I like the WYSIWIG editor style.

[cfaussie] Re: blogging for fun and profit (BlogCFC Vs Wordpress)
in theory, the same SEO techniques can be applied to any website. Also, the same helpers (code/tools/plug-ins) can be written for any blogging platform. in theory. In practice, Wordpress (it seems) has a suite of plugins for SEO, the Google sitemaps generator, easily adding posts to social bookmarking sites, customised pinging (eg: on article edits), duplicate content, optimised templates, etc... I know our CFJedi (Mr Camden) had done a ton of work on things like RSS feeds and at the moment I'm looking at seeing just what Wordpress features are already built-in to BlogCFC. but Wordpress, it seems, is the standard that everything else is judged by... (anyone know of software that will automatically evaluate the SEO worth of a site, give a report of what could be improved? or that still something that people charge a premium for?) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.
