Where To Go Forward With This Bl;og

I've been posting to this blog now for a couple of months. The intention originally was primarily a summary of the items going on in the world of SEO. When I read through other blogs and news bits there is typically a bunch of fluff, stories created to make a diggable item(we are SEO's after all), industry conjecture, or just a waste of time reading. Also, I don't have the time nor do I want to waste the time spending a few hours a day writing posts. I have used this platform along side of time I spend daily reading industry news then just marking what I think is worth while.

I wanted to try to make at least one post a day and this blog started as a bit more of an experiment. My thought was to glean a few items a day, items that matter to the industry, cut through all the BS, and are truly valuable to the small group(anyone out there) of readers of this blog or its feed. As you likely have noticed if you've been reading this blog for a bit, there are occasional lapses in posts. This really isn't because I have been slacking, it's for want of solid items that are either valuable or shed a bit of light. So, rather than just post garbage, I decided to not post at all.

Though the title of this blog, Once a day SEO, really meant nothing in the beginning, I suppose it does sum up the idea of the blog; check it out once a day and you should get a few good SEO related tidbits without the crap surrounding it.

What to do here going forward? I spent a bit looking back over some of my posts and the layout. Again, I'm not going to devote a bunch of time to this, but here are a few thoughts:
  • Provide a bit more detail with each post to be certain that there is enough info there so that the reader can value whether or not to click a link and read further on the item.
  • Continue to put in items that also provide a bit of a chuckle, even if they are a bit off topic.
  • Start to generate a bit of my own content rather than just summarizing existing items. I'm going to try to write one of my own posts once a week.
Keeping in mind that this is not an overly serious endeavor, if anyone has any comments or suggestions, please provide them.

I'd like to see posts categorized for archiving purposes. Categories like "SEO News," "Humor," and "SEO Tools" and so on would help the reader navigate the site better. This is easy to do in Wordpress/Movable Type, but I'm not sure how easy it is with Blogger.1084p0k3r
