Getting your new blog seen … change the rules!
August 23rd, 2008 Posted in Building my websitesIs there anybody there?
I agree with Hans de Ruiter in his blog The Technorati Visibility Game when he discusses how difficult it is to get a new blog seen.
As you can see from the right hand side of this blog, I’ve made lots of effort to get my posts seen, but it’s a bit of an uphill struggle.
For instance I now have an authority of two on Technorati, thanks to this review of my blog on untwistedvortex.com.
It was Hans who gave me my first authority, which moved my blog up from something like 4.5 million down in the rankings to 3.5 million down.
With this new authority from untwistedvortex.com I’ve now moved up to 1.9 million down the rankings.
As I said, it’s a slow process!

I was looking at the code used by Alex Tew in his milliondollarhomepage.com website the other day, and decided to try it out for a project or two of my own.
It’s a really nice bit of code, and although I’m not going to attempt to replicate Alex’s success or strategy, it’s a very useful way of presenting paid-for or free ads on single themes.
Instead of getting out in the garden today, I’ve put together this website as a pro-active move for new bloggers … it’s called brand-new-blogs.com.
It works on a low cost ad basis, but gives your blog access to a dedicated homepage for as long as it takes to fill the grid, and then it sits in the archive for 12 months.
You’ll notice I’ve added my blog to the grid already to get things started.
So if you’re getting desperate for some blog visibility, give it a try, who knows if it catches on it might become a sort of ‘X-Factor’ for the blogging community!
You can get HTML links for your own site from this page.
