Restarting Staska.Net

My blatant diggbaiting attempt fizzled. I wonder why?

The story was hot at the time. It was about digg. I put a different spin on it. I was positive about digg and bashed digg critics. And more then 50% of diggers that came to my blog, dugg it.

The problem is - I have received only 9 visitors from digg and that turned into just 5 diggs. I guess I should have studied the art of writing great headlines and entry paragraphs before venturing on digg.

Oh well. Let the bygones be bygones. It’s time to restart this blog and make some commitments to it. For me, the best thing to do that is to make the commitment public. Here goes:

For the next month I will make at least 5 posts a week on this blog

And I am starting today! :)

    Whoa. 5 posts per day. Sounds quite interesting, hehe. As for me, I am updating my blog twice a day.

    p.s: I guess you should start your Mybloglog community and stick it on your sidebar. It would help you to retain visitors to regular readers, I guess ;)

    Nope. Nothing that challenging. :) It’s only 5 posts a week.

    Although since I want to turn my blogs into a full time income stream, I am usually doing 5-6 posts a day through all other blogs I run

    Thanks,

    Goes to show that real content is better then blatant diggbaiting :)

    One other lesson to learn:

    If you don’t have good Digg profile with many friends and do not have any other way to get traffic to the post, where someone can click “Digg this” button, do not go submitting your posts to the “Tech Industry News” category at the busiest time of day.
