  • I’ve always found that multi-writer blogs end up grabbing more traffic because they are able to publish more often and become more “relevant” in search results. Raj Dash writes at Performancing about why those blogs tend to be more popular, while pointing out how some single-author sites have snagged a stack of traffic themselves. While the multi-author site might have something for everyone, that doesn’t mean that the “larger” traffic is better, if those new readers are only coming to read one writer they enjoy, and skipping the rest. Well, it’s good for the advertising sales, but not necessarily good for the growth of the site. You can’t be all things to all people. [via]
  • Bambi Francisco is discussing Six Apart’s latest foray into the world of social behavior on the ‘net, Vox. (Hey Bambi, you should link to stuff when you post about it, if only for the fact that the people on that end will find you when doing searches on who’s writing about them!)
  • Technorati tags are great and all, and this kind of thing always helps, but it’s important to note that the category functions in most blogging software – I know it works for the Six Apart tools – also creates tags that function more than properly. Just a thought.
  • Jeremy Pepper is talking about Nikolai Volkoff (yeah, you know who I mean) and his thoughts about mainstream media.
  • I’m sorry, but 15 minutes online is like a decade.
  • Robert Ricci points to some smarts about what to do if you’re just not feeling the blog bug at any particular moment.

    Link often; link always.
    I thought I did provide a link. I'll remember to do so in the future :-).
