Life of a Human

After submitting the “Hottest Actresses” post to digg, and getting about 100 unique views total from it, I was shocked when I noticed that my feedburner subscribers actually went down.  Not down by a whole lot, but when you don’t have many to begin with, you’re going to hope that the subscription rate continues to go up rather than down.  Unless you’re testing the fate of humanity with a humorous website that says “Subscribe and you will instantly win 1,000,000 dollars”.  So, not only am I little put off my incapabilities of getting to the front page with my most recent article (it’s easier than it seems), but I’m also put-off by my decline of subscribers.

This thinning, of readers could be for a multitude of reasons… These reasons cannot be professionally analyzed by my person though, as I am no professional.  (Notice innapropriate use of fancy sentence structure).

Instead of wining about the 1 subscriber I lost, (which is actually common daily fluxuation when your posting habits suck ass) I’m going to write a list of things which have helped me to get readers, and will help me to get more readers in the future.

If you’d like to learn more about these tools, Google them, kind sirs.

1) Mybloglog: This tool owns so much, every single backlink I have for my blog comes from mybloglog, I don’t know how it works exactly, but this are some pretty powerful links, and I’m using them to my advantage.  Simply sign up, add the code they give you (to where they tell you to) and your posts will be put under upcoming lists for certain categories.  It may actually have something to do with the tags you give your posts.

2) Auto-social-Poster:  Automatically submits your posts to a list of social bookmarking websites that you supply.  This is a so-so tool, you have to have enough accounts for each bookmarking website to get noticed at all.  I actually haven’t been using this tool at all though, as it takes over 10 minutes to set up effectively, and I’m a lazy asshole with absolutely no drive to succeed in this blogging business.

3) Dosh Dosh: Straight up, writes like a mixture of a classicist and romanticist.  If you know what Dosh Dosh is, then chances are… you will win at life and everything else.

4) Stumbleupon: Ok, so this is pretty much just pointless burst traffic… but it’s visitors all the same.  And whether you’re increasing your alexa ranking, or your subscribers, it still helps you out.  I haven’t been a very active stumbler lately, so I don’t have much power bringing traffic to webpages.  I did however, get a good 500 unique visitors for the last article I submitted (over a week or so ago).

5) Go Outside, Talk to Girls: Always helpful.. when you can’t figure out exactly what you’re doing online.  You can find inspiration from real life situations of the third kind.

….my god my attention span when writing these actually meaningful posts just deserts me…
