I’m published today in a post at the official FuelMyBlog Blog. The topic there is one you might do well to check out. It could be the cornerstone issue in the future of blogging. Here are some responses to that post on defining blog value over at the the FuelMyBlog Blog:
sylvied said: “You are totally right here we can rate our own blogs and add value to it.”
KevinD said: “I think a new wave of blogger is coming, the realists …”
Claire said: “I find this intriguing as my site visitor stats are actually quite low although feed subscribers stats are 6 times as high. As most of the requests are for text tag links, I’m assuming the attraction is ‘google juice’ rather than reaching my subscribers or readers …”
belinha said about my quote: “To define your own value is to declare independence from parent companies like Google that thrive by assigning value as they see it.”
Very good point!
If you get enough money through blogging, you can take amazing vacations (among other luxuries) wouldn’t learning about those be more valuable than “bearing your soull” in a diary no one reads? I am already looking into my favorite vacation fantasies:
The myrtle beach vacation packages are cheap and almost as good as san diego vacation packages. Still they are not the vacation packages that get sold the most. The most selling ones are the cancun vacation packages and the caribbean vacation packages.
These are great comments. Some really smart people hang out over there. Maybe one day we can all take one of these vacations together, sort of a blogfest! I have a method that includes money tracking that seems to be improving my ability to buy things. If you want to know about this self-made method for testing a blog’s value, check out my post (series of posts) called V.A.L.U.E.
It’s not perfect but it’s a start.
Now for your take on all this: Google thinks they know the value of a blog, and the world listens. Knowing how to measure your blog’s value can mean the difference between a shack and one of those Hilton Head rentals. What do you have to say about defining blog value?
