How To Get Your Blog Hits
Every blogger struggles for readership. Some bloggers, such as myself, can barely scratch together an audience period. Well, I have some easy tips to help you and me that will start attracting people to your blog, and getting those all important hits.
- Create blog. There are numerous free hosting sites such as WordPress or Blogger. Registration and user interface are both easy and intuitive.
- Select a central theme that deals with a highly controversial subject. A good one would be politics.
- Pick a side in whatever controversial subject you choose to focus your blog around. Just remember – never, under any circumstances wander over into the “other side”.
- Ensure that all your posts appeal to the most rabid and irrational supporters of the side you’ve choosen. The best way to do that is to always only present the evidence that supports your side even if that means only presenting half the evidence. Always make your posts as viral as possible. Omission is your best ally.
- Under no circumstance should you allow evidence regardless of it’s substance or sound logic to infect your comment section. The best way to deal with this is to either resort to insulting opposing viewpoints with generic, repetitive slander or, if necessary, heavily moderate your comment section and do not approve/delete comments that threaten the viral nature of your blog’s topic.
- Finally, always promote your blog as the self-righteous truth. Be sure to demean and condescend your opposition. Your “truth” is best discovered through the negation of your opponent, not the validation of your belief.
With these six easy steps, you’ll be well on your way to owning a blog with plenty of readers and commentors to interact with. Good blogging and good luck to you all!
Tom Donahoe on The Mort Report
I’ve listened to every Mort Report, the weekly football radio show hosted by ESPN’s Chris Mortenson, this NFL season, and in it he has a football pick ’em segment featuring former Buffalo Bills General Manager, Tom Donahoe. Nine weeks into the NFL season, Mortenson and Donahoe have never picked a game that involved the Buffalo Bills. Not even in Week 7 when the Bills played the San Diego Chargers which was a featured national game of the week.
Is Tom Donahoe so petty and vindictive that he steadfastly refuses to have to utter the words “the Buffalo Bills” in any public capacity? Why is ESPN allowing it’s viewership to suffer because of one man’s insecurities? I wonder if and when the Buffalo Bills make it into the playoffs this year, will Chris Mortenson sacrifice his journalistic integrity to cater to the whims of a selfish Donahoe and exclude the Bills from the pick ’em segment? I have a suggestion for Mort – dump Donahoe. His analysis during the pick ’em segment is so mundane, cliche, and elementary, you’d be better served replacing Donahoe.
