Apparently we had some good stuff to say back when we were updating this blog every day. Despite the fact that we haven’t been posting on a very regular basis, we have still been maintaining a regular RSS readership of about 40…(except for today because Google is having their feedfetcher problems again).
So, Jay and I are going to be giving this blogging thing another try. On a trial basis, we are going to be posting once a day and trying to build onto you, faithful readers.
Part of the problem we had the last time around was we tried to come up with unique killer content every day, and for a while I think we did a pretty good job of it. Unfortunately, after a month or two, we had basically run out of ideas. This time around, we’re still going to be providing you guys with great content, but we’ll be mixing it up with some opinion pieces on industry news and other content to hopefully give us longevity for more than a few months.
Something I want to do a bit more personally is humor posts, like our John Chow fine dining spoof. I don’t think my unique brand of zaniness is easily reproduced, and we can really build some differentiation between us and the myriad of blogs out there.
As you may have noticed, we’ve been hit by the Google PR smackdown and have been dropped down to PR2. This really is just another example (out of many others) that demonstrates how broken this update is. Not only do we have no paid links, but we have no monetization at all on this blog. It really hasn’t affected traffic or search engine rankings, so we could really care less. It seems Google has just dealt another blow to PR, which is already on life support in the ICU.
Any how, thank you to those of you who’ve stuck around - and welcome to any new readers.
Good Profits.
