A Thinner BlogRoll For 2008
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve updated, and slimmed-down my blogroll (it’s over there on the lower- right -> ).
As I mentioned back in October, I subscribe to very-few blogs, and I switch them around often. I guess it’s my ADD, but if a blog does not hold my attention or I find that the headlines just aren’t getting me to read them, I unsubscribe and move on to something new. That does not mean that I’ll never read that blog again, it just means it no longer gets my RSS vote and I’m freeing up that space on my iGoogle RSS Reader Page for something else. And since my Blogroll here at the blog is a mirror of the actual blogs I read, if i drop a blog that means that it looses a link-vote from me also.
You might have noticed that among the dropped blogs are Shoemoney and Problogger. “Blogging Blasphemy!? you say? Maybe.. But i’m realizing that I’m just not learning anything from them. It’s not that I think I know everything, it’s more that I’m not really a “Make Money Online Blogger”, I’m more of just a “webmaster that makes money”, so I dont really need tips on how to blog better.. Well, maybe I do, but I don’t do this blog to make money so I don’t need to learn how to monetize it or how to draw-in more readers, etc. The only reason I do this blog is to share what I’m doing over at the website, post how it’s doing, what I’ve done that works, and what I’ve done that does not work.
I do still relate to a few of the “make money online” bloggers (they’re still in my blogroll), and I still learn a few things from them, but I think as I find more blogs by money-making-webmasters, like Markus Frind from PlentyOfFish.com I’ll probably be more likely to subscribe to them. I checked out Shawn Hogan’s blog, but it seems that he’s just not interested in blogging anymore. So if you know of any other money-making-webmaster’s blog, please post them for me to check out.
PS – As I was getting the link for PlentyOfFish.com, I saw this profile on the front page that struck me as rather humorous.
Good post Randy and i see your keeping it simple. good to see your doing it your way instead of just following the herd like everyone else.
Ya, I agree the heard is no good, thats why I also decided to open my whole life to the world as well!
haha that profile is awesome.
