Not long ago I figured that blogging is an effective way to promote websites, I decided I should only work on wordpress based blogs, as we all know that wordpress is wonderful for automated posting, managing and much more, together with Open Source License make the WordPress the most famous and versatile blogging software of all time.
Lately I figured that I should build my own blogs and promote them, then I can use established and fully owned blogs to advertise other websites, this is not something new, the existence of blog networks already says it all, anyway those are other people’s asset and I have no control, in addition there is no way I can post to them, its easy to understand that the price on those networks won’t be cheap.
Its a tedious job to maintain more than a few blogs, if you don’t like garbage on your blogs,to write real stuff for your blogs will be time consuming, its never easy to build successful blogs. I’ve seen quite a few real world examples, such as this one, Hone Furniture, the domain name is pretty good, and it has a lot of interesting posts, without a clear theme, you’ll find all kinds of different posts there. Here is another one, hand winch, this one has main theme, all posts are following the same theme, quite a few keywords rank well for this site. there are more sites like these out there, though I guess you get the point already. Last but not least, you should build some casual blogs, put some random content on those blogs occasionally, such as this blog, Secure Flatbed Load, your blogging network looks more natural with these casual blogs.
When you already have a few interesting blogs, add more blogs when you can, then use the established blogs to promote the new ones, this is the way to build your own blogging network. Of course its just the beginning, it won’t be easy to build even a tiny blogging network, one of the most important things is that don’t get your site kicked out by major search engines.
