Web Marketing XIX
Did my stats, as I always do at the first of the month. My blogs, 28 + 6 + ~8 dead ones, are floundering, but that's no surprise, since I barely post to twelve of them a month, and those aren't really the best of them. I do that as a minimal-effort kind of thing, knowing that they need extensive work and I just don't have the time to even get started on it.
So it's no surprise, really, that visitors aren't pounding down my door or using them to go directly to my amazon pages and order my books. They still represent more what's left of my career, my linguistics interests, my pop art, etc., and they don't really even do a good job with those. I think what needs to happen is that they need to start representing better what I write, what I publish, what I've found out with my research about my family.
The ones that I use actively, organically, naturally, seem to do just fine. I post on them without pushing myself. I don't have to make reasons to post. I just use them.
What you are watching as you read this is an active strategy overhaul such that my blogs will probably be more commercial, but will at least reflect what I'm doing and what people need to know about me.
Stay tuned. And by the way, is this the right place to put musing about this kind of thing?
