Comment Friday for October 19th
- 24 Comment
Another friday! Seems like I always say that, but the weekend comes so fast. It’s been tough the last few weeks. I’ve had a lot of pressure to make money and with Emma sick, I’ve been with Matthew a lot of the time. I hope our contest will kick it up a bit around here, we haven’t had too many people posting.
If this is your first comment friday, the idea is pretty simple. Leave us a comment about anything you want. I will select one lucky commenter that really stands out, and I will be giving out a free link to that person. In addition to that that, I will be giving them a free blogroll spot.
This will be a stumbleupon edition of comment friday. To break in our new subscribers and readers, I want everyone to leave a comment to posts they like that they’ve written or enjoyed. I will stumble every post and likely leave a review and tags on that post. I’ve been working on my profile, with at least 167 “fans” you should get some bang for your buck.

Oooh, looks like I may have nabbed the coveted “1st comment on Comment Friday” spot!
October has been a slightly slower blog posting month so far, but I was really pleased with and proud of my Art That Flows post from a bit earlier this month.
Thanks Matt!

Matthew, being a subscriber to your feed for months, I simply have to be part of a comment friday now for the first time.
For me October has not been a slower month as Daniel said, it worked so well and my new Series called The 25 best ways to increase traffic to your blog really pushed my blog. Subscribers have more than doubled, seems series are a good way to gain more momentum. Also, having posted a scheduled index with all 25 headlines, I do not have to worry about having no idea what to write about. Very nice.

I really liked my posts on hard water. Most people don’t know how many problems it causes around the house, and I really enjoyed all the feed back from my readers on how the tips helped them solve their problems.
Helping people is the best part of blog. I really enjoy sharing the tips I have learned to help everyone clean better and faster. Thanks for the motivation to keep going.

Matt, cool idea for your comment Friday. Take a look at the guest post from Chris Garrett that I received last Friday.
It was stumbled and reviewed a handful of times but never received any traction.

This is a fun idea, to stumbleupon the comments. Thanks for helping us all out Matt.
I have decided to follow the example of BAYB and try out some Blog Reviews on Random Encounters of We. I have done a couple already that have turned out well and I am enjoying meeting new people in the Blogosphere from it.

This is my first Friday comment. I have read your blog for awhile though. Anyhow, thanks for the posts. Been blogging for almost a year. Seen the ups and downs of traffic depending on how Google search results feels like ranking me. I have just upped my posting frequency with the Photo Of The Day category now. It isn’t totally related to my blog, but it is interesting how much traffic it has generated. Today’s photo is a Lunar Rainbow from a trip 2 years ago.

How do you do, Matthew. You know, like any good business, your best source of new business is referrals! You come highly recommended by Sheila at GoVisitHawaii. I have a great amount of respect for her so I’ll take her word for it. I understand you’re doing some pretty neat things around here so I wanted to come see for myself. Since you’re offering… I like the posts that I get passionate about so, if you can squeeze me in, I would love to have you stumble over my honeybees. Just watch your step so you don’t get stung! 🙂 Aside from that, I subscribed, so you have a new fan.

This is a great idea! I wish I could figure out how people are making the links in their comments, drives me nuts that I can’t do it. I also can’t figure out how to do trackbacks.
I’d love to get some real information and feedback about switching to a new domain off of blogger without losing my readers. I want better offers from payperpost, and I need to be off blogspot for that.October 19th, 2007 at 10:44 am -

What a great idea! Recently I put a lot of work and love into my 3-part series reviewing the different blog engines in the hopes that people read them and get something useful from them. Here are the links to my 3 posts (The Test, The Results and The Others) on Google Blogger vs WordPress: Blog Wars.
