Is this you?

Unknown Account

Moved your site to self hosting or from Blogspot’s to Wordpress’s online communities?

If so consider placing a redirect notice or final entry.  After relocating a site successfully users of these communities usually delete former posts, directing prior and future readers with a link.  The benefits of doing this?  Just minutes ago I came across a blog where the above stared at me, and the FMBer was featured on the portal page still garnering votes.

Not doing so causes two things to be lost to bloggers:

  • Traffic, because I wrote this and couldn’t get to your site.
  • Votes, because when I search through the FMB listing I know what I want…and you missed my vote.

While FMB accounts are permanently tied in to an account and members don’t want to lose valuable vote ‘rep’, providing a redirect or link at your old site can continue to lead readers and votes to your new home online.  It also provides a known solid link from a source you control if SEO, SERP, and PR are part of your game.  Everybody wins.

Best, and happy blogging!

Nearly 4 in 5 active internet users visit social networks and blogs

By KevinD Blogging 101 2 Comments »

It’s been a long time since our last update, we’ll explain more about our recent Nokia partnership very very soon. In the meantime if you have a business and would like a free (worth £60) NFC enabled sticker that will help send your offline visitors to your Facebook page where they can like it by simply tapping their mobile phone against it, do email me kevin{@}fuelmyblog.com – I will program the sticker with your business Facebook page address and you’ll be part of a groundbreaking trial we are running with Nokia :)

Nielsen just announced their latest ‘Social Media Report’ – it makes for some really interesting reading, the key points were as follows:-

1. Social networks and blogs continue to dominate Americans time online and now account for nearly a quarter of total time spent on the internet

2. Nearly 4 in 5 active internet users visit social networks and blogs

3. 41% of blogger users have a household income of over $75k

4. Close to 40% of social media users access social media content from their social media phone

5. 25% of Wordpress visitors have a bachelor’s degree

6. 53% of active adult social network users follow a brand

7. 32% of active adult social network users follows a celebrity

If 53% of adult social network users follow a brand, apart from awareness, what benefits are the brands getting by being followed, I’d like to see more written about actual sales – do any of you have any experiences you’d like to share in the comments?

Thanks for story tip off go to Gordon at The Wall

MyBlogLog Now Switched Off – Time To Remove Those Widgets

By KevinD blogging 2 Comments »

As announced by Techcrunch back in February, Mybloglog has now been switched off. Google Mybloglog and you’ll see it no longer appears, the SEO boys and girls at Yahoo have been busy..So make sure you take off your mybloglog widgets as they no longer work. The following sad Alexa shot says it all..

UPDATE ON FUELMYBLOG:-
We have over 40,000 great bloggers on fuelmyblog, we still manually go over every single new member joining to ensure zero porn or spammers get in. At the end of 2010 we were fortunate enough to be invited to be part of the UK Trade & Investment Global Entrepreneur Program, this has led to ongoing discussions with UK Ministers (cabinet level), the Dubai Government and Abu Dhabi Government.

We’ve some major announcements coming up as we are partnering with one of the worlds leading websites – that will mean a lot more services and products to review, and we think fuelmyblog could prove to be far more than just an alternative to mybloglog.

Please help us spread the word – tweets, blog posts etc, are all so very welcome!

Hiring:
We are looking for writers that can help advise bloggers and businesses on this blog (paid) if this could be you, please email info(@)fuelmyblog.com with some examples of help articles you’ve written and what you’d expect to be paid per article, how many per week etc.

We’ll soon be hiring more permanent people to help us with our heavy admin load – we’ll announce it on this blog in the coming month or so, please keep subscribed.
