How Many Blogs Do You Subscribe To ?
As I was sitting and doing some “reading” this morning I got to thinking about how many blogs there are out here in the blogosphere. This led me to start thinking about how many different people on the internet read these blogs - which got me to thinking about how some of the really big blogs have tens of thousands if not more RSS subscribers. My thoughts then quickly changed to how ridiculously small the squares of toilet-paper are in the restrooms where I work.. I’ll save that subject for another post.
After doing a little math in my head, I figured that there must be many people out there on the internetz that subscribe to dozens of RSS feeds or more, which got me to wondering if someone with that many subscriptions actually reads them all or if they’re just trying to prove something - or maybe don’t have anything better to do.
I have exactly seven RSS subscriptions in my iGoogle homepage:
- JohnCow.com
- MubinAhmed.com
- Darin.CC
- John Reese
- Problogger.net
- ShoeMoney
- GrownUpGeek’s Blog (i like the way it looks on iGoogle)
Even with this small, hand-picked list of blogs in my iGoogle RSS reader, I still read 5 to 10 more blogs every day, usually finding them by BlogRush surfing. If I come across a particularly good blog I might subscribe to the feed but usually only after removing someone else off my list.
So now I’m curious: How many blogs are in your RSS subscription list, and which are your favorites? Please post a link to your top 2 or 3 ..
My Cow-vertising Results
Most of you probably know that I started advertising with the Cow (johncow.com) 14 days ago. I purchased two post-level 250×300 spots out of 10 that he was selling, at a cost of $150 for 30 days. Since this was my first-ever attempt at advertising the blog I was not really sure what to expect.
The first few days I was a bit disappointed with the CTR and amount of traffic I was getting from the ads, I think because I expected a sudden flood of vistors - but as I thought about it more I realized that this was not a Read more
My First Attempt At Advertising
Today I started my first-ever paid advertising campaign for the blog - as a matter of fact many of you have probably arrived here via that advertisement (if you did, leave a comment so I know if I’m getting my money’s worth!). I’ve waffled back and forth on whether I should advertise the blog or not for a long time but after seeing the extra free traffic that BlogRush brought me I thought, WTF, why not?
Why would I advertise a blog that has no advertisements itself, and generates NO income?
My website, GrownUpGeek.com already earns about $6k/month, and has Read more
