Creating your Own Popular Blog

There was a time when I would advocate forced popularity of your blog.  I believed you couldn't achieve a popular blog by natural means.  I was impatient.  It is my nature to want immediate satisfaction.  Your not generally going to get that when it comes to grass roots style blogging.  In fact, many people will lose interest in their blog long before they find the popularity that they are looking for.  It keeps the folks who spend money for success, at the top of the food chain.  It makes others say it is impossible to rank well in search engines.  It is what most people attribute to failures.  And this is correct.  This is why my point of view changed.  I realized that if I insist on continuing in the fashion that I do, that I need to make sure what I say and how I say it are unique, well thought out and of my own doing.  And also, I must practice what I preach.

Welcome back to Blogging for Beginners

I have held off from writing on Blogging for Beginners for a long time now.  In fact, for almost two years I have not written a post here.  It mostly was due to life getting the best of me.  I have been busy and back a couple of years ago, Google made some drastic changes to the ranking system, which caused this blog to fall from graces.  I assumed that they would shut it down, but I honestly had no understanding what it was that caused my blog's fall.  It caused me to be disheartened, and i lost interest when i saw the income from the site to drop off.
