do i really need to get a twitter, it seems more and more useful for this thing..

[legend4ry]

You should have one anyway if you're making music .

The most things what come up when someone google's you the better.

Sunk, with your first ad check from d goog pick up a web camera, or pick up a laptop with one. Shit is so cheap nowadays! Uhm, I'd like a private discussion, and i think we could cover more ground with a rapid conversation. Just my thoughts though...

AIM chatroom?

[nowaysj]

chea!

[knell]

i'm down... we don't even need webcams to skype or do a chat, we can even start a tinychat

[oprs]

someone get one rollin

[SunkLo]

Yeah we could def set up one of those free chatrooms and put a password on it

re: submitting stuff to artists, having other people do it would be good but I think with the right approach you could offer it to them and have it not seem spammy. As long as you're humble and make it seem like you're giving them a resource with which to promote themselves, not just "dude pleez link 2 my bloggz"

i wanted to name it groin cheese but whatever:

Yo bro, can I sign in w/o any of those three. I eschew them at all costs?

Tip for getting more pageviews: If you got a decently long post, throw in a jump link. It's the thing that's like "read more" or whatever you see on pages. There's a button for it when you're writing the post. It makes people have to click through to read the whole thing which means a few more impressions for that page and when they click back to your home page. And t's easier to track what people are interested in because you can track the views for each article. It also makes things look neater and keeps people from having to scroll forever past long posts.

Don't put it after a particularly boring first paragraph though or else your post won't get read. Gotta be strategic. A better option would just be to change the boring shit hah

chea

Found it! never mind, didnt show up in the preview.

Just made this blog

It's the one beside the video button, looks like a page being torn in half.

Wasn't there some way to get your posts bumped to the top of the reading list again? Thought I remember reading that.

[oprs]

found it, good call.

[legend4ry]

I had a go at writing something humorous.

there must be, because sometimes i see posts that i saw the day before show up at the top of my dash, and i doubt that's a glitch... i guess it has something to do with editing the time you submitted your post or something

either way, it makes you look spammy in my eyes, but i suppose to the general population it would work.

yeah, i figured as much, thanks for doing the google work for me.... i don't really have much interest in that, but there's the info sunklo.

i suppose it'd be useful if you wrote a really good post and it barely got any attention, so it's a good option to have. imagine if everyone did it all the time tho.. oh man.

[oprs]

lol does it matter if i have ads referencing to gold?

[SunkLo]

As in are you gonna get traffic for it? Prolly not

Also, good lookin out on the bumpage
I keep seeing posts I've already read at the top of my list. Got strategy to know how to use tho. Specially when you need some quick love but got nothing to post. I'll probably end up using it on my quality posts when they've become old. Re-run style.

So far I've got 80 page views from blog clicker. I doubt they did anything other than wait the obligatory 14 seconds and click next but still, impressions help keep the ctr low. Mine's at 2.5 right now. Might do an all nighter and try to rack in some followers.

ALSO: curious as to how many people you guys have followed vs how many are following? Hit manage and it'll tell you. I'm following 141, got 45 followers.
