bloggers need to “clean house”

This week many of the companies or organizations are in place. After well-deserved vacation is time to clean and renovate the house ... and therefore its contents. Who work everyday with social networks this task is paramount.

Here are some of the points that you can review to start this change:

  • Commit to implement, learn and use Google Analytics, HTML and CSS so you can make the kinds of minor tweaks that will sharpen your design.
  • Use blogging as ongoing experimentation. Take detailed notes and track the metrics surrounding your blog posts. Figure out what works for your blog and readership and revisit successful approaches as a means to test and refine your best practices.
  • Add social bookmarking buttons and an RSS button to your site and posts
  • Use targeted requests for comments on your post. After you post, make a list of the people who would be most interested in the topic and send them a Twitter DM asking for their comments.
  • Commit to marketing your own posts. You wrote it. If it was good enough to post, it is good enough to market, share, Tweet, Digg, Stumble, etc.
  • Be a blogosphere/Twittersphere octopus. If you mention someone, someone’s blog or post, site, company, or anything with a figurehead web presence, use a brief blog comment or tweet to let them know that you did. People love recognition, and goodwill spreads like the pox.
Try responding directly to all comments made about your post. You may be surprised at how easy it is and how responsive your readers will be at this newfound interaction
