Why Great Writers Win Out in the Blogosphere—And How to Join Them. This guest post is by Ali Luke of Writers’ Huddle. Is your writing holding you back? If new visitors never stick around, if you rarely get retweets, or if there’s tumbleweed blowing through your comments section, this might not be because you’re getting anything wrong in terms of promotion. There’s a chance that your writing isn’t quite up to the high standard required for blogging success.

“At least some healthy minority of we blogosphere mouthpieces must be using post schedulers, and surely at least a few have thought while scheduling, ‘I’ll post something three thousand years from now,’ or accidentally hit the wrong key when typing the date and stumbled onto this by accident.”. I don’t believe in ghosts. I know, that seems rather snappy and off-handed to say, so immediately like that, but I don’t.

Like many in the blogosphere, I noticed a “September slump” in regard to reach on some of the Facebook pages I manage. Many have speculated that Facebook changed their Edgerank algorithm so that organic reach of brand updates was decreased – forcing brands into pay to play visibility via promoted posts. Get the scoop in today’s roundup. Facebook Accused Of Changing A Key Algorithm To Hurt Advertisers.

This is a guest post by Marcus Sheridan , recently named one of the Top 10 Social Media Bloggers of 2012 by Social Media Examiner. I honestly feel one of the biggest problems in the blogosphere, especially for newer bloggers, is that they simply don’t understand how to write blog post titles that arouse reader interest and lead to a high click-through rate.

They’ve recently made two new developments that have already gotten the blogosphere talking. Google, as always, is branching out. The first one may not seem much, but it could be over the long term. They’ve add an Events tab to the social network Google+. Again, that doesn’t sound like much, but this is a popular feature on Facebook and the fact that Google+ is adding the feature means that they are serious about competing in the social arena.

Blueprints is a versatile app for bloggers and their readers to help them stay afloat in the blogosphere. It must be difficult for Microsoft. They have had to get used to playing second and even third fiddle in this thing called the Mobile Operating System competition. Back in the tech boom 90’s, everything was ‘Wintel this’ and ‘Wintel that’. People were worried that Microsoft would be the evil monopolistic empire that they probably still aspire to be.

Which will backfire because usually it’s then greeted with a deafening silence in the blogosphere, if not mild disdain.

Because the blogosphere is full of very busy, successful practitioners that are nothing like journalists, we tend to give up on going to them after a short while. I just came up with a new term. To “To Klout Them Up” As in “ to hit them up” or ask for something. Klout is the social media ranking tool – tells companies how influential a twitterer or blogger or Pinterester is in influencing others to find, filter and forward their stuff.
