I learned my lesson

As you can see I’m a little late in posting this week and that’s because I wasn’t sure what to write about.

Finally last night and today an answer turned up in the form of my new photography blog. I created the blog late last night as part of me becoming more involved in my hobby, but as it turned out I got a big reminder of the power of web 2.0 and web marketing.

My new blog’s name is “Kill my pics” which apparently is an intresting name. Interesting enough to bring in two hours more traffic to my 1 day old blog then I ever got in a full day in this blog. 

To let people know about my photography blog I did the same things I allways do. I posted to digg, reddit, technorati, stumbleupon and facebook. I also twittered about it.   The only difference this time is that the title of the post was much shorter and it sounded more interesting.

I was expecting some traffic but i have to say that I was really surprised by how well it did. Most of the traffic came from reddit.com and a few from facebook – mainly friends of mine.

In short, after writing a good blog post you have to make sure that people who see your titles, in the RSS or anywhere else you will publish it, will also click on the title to go to the post. Your blog title is the first thing they see and the first impresion they get about the post so make it short and interesting as much as you can.
