The Statistical Benefits of Writing a General Blog
Posted on October 21st, 2008 by Ms. SP
Almost everyone out there says that successful bloggers are niche bloggers. For me though, I’ve always been a generalist. I’m the classic Master of None. But I know enough about so many things that I can usually have an intelligent conversation with anyone I meet.
I have other blogs out there for specific purposes, but this one is my personal, general blog. In two statistical categories, this is the one that is doing the best.
- Technorati authority. Because I can write about almost anything, I can participate in a variety of blog carnivals. That gets me backlinks. Which gets me authority.
- Google page rank. I think I’m at a PR of 2 now. For probably the same reason.
I’m not really interested in doing anything differently here. These are just almost unintentional by-products of my general blog. But since I like stats and improvements, I’m going to keep trying to make the numbers grow.
