What to do…It’s 2012 and you’ve been blogging for almost a year now with no success. You published 30 articles this year, but none of them have gone viral , you still only have 250 followers on Twitter (none of whom retweet you), and your Google page rank still sits at a 2. You wouldn’t be the first.

Through the use of a custom browser widget, Pinterest members can capture media from any public Web site or blog and “pin” it to a virtual pinboard, usually organized around a specific topic (e.g “cool shoes”, “food I’d like to try”, or “my art”). And what about Google+?

Every once in a while, a friend, colleague, or client will ask how to improve their blog so they can get more traffic. Before we ever dive into the technology behind their blog, I like to explore their content and their attitude toward the search engines. It’s not your blog anymore, it’s some hybrid or you and Googlebot.

After doing a quick Google, it turns out they are a blogger/influencer connection network. Makes sense…I do talk about blogging a lot and I probably checked this network out at some point, granting access to its app. In my case, it’s brands like Target, AT&T, eBay, and Uber. Likely nothing nefarious here.

This one is a really good question that I got from a friend of mine who is a blogger. After blogging for about 5 years, she recently started monetizing her content through an ad program. She doesn’t promote any affiliate programs, so the only revenue that her blog generates is through ad revenue. What do you think?

Since the whole purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts and experiences, I thought it might be a good exercise to just dump out the items that come to mind first on certain topics. There is no “best time to tweet”, no “ideal Facebook post” and no blog topic that will automatically drive thousands of page views.

Recently, I wrote a blog post detailing why I stopped fretting about a high bounce rate on my blog. A few days after publishing it, I received a question from a fellow blogger asking: Okay, so if bounce rate doesn’t matter, then what metric do you use to determine whether people like your content?

Provide real facts, not links to some blogger’s opinion. 10) Back up your position with real, verifiable facts – If you have facts to support your side of the debate, great. But don’t quote YouTube videos, don’t argue that “they say” or that you read it on Wikipedia.

Pinterest…it’s kinda the bane of my existence as a social media blogger. Not because I don’t like the platform, but more because I’m totally jealous of those who get to use it to drive mad-traffic to their blogs. Below is a screen capture that shows the social media sources to my blog over the last 30 days.
