I plan on going back and re-reading these posts, taking notes, and coming up with an action plan for my blog.  Couldn’t do it in a day, though.

Question 1:  I absolutely adored Rand Fishkin’s diagrams.  I also thought his post, “21 Tactics to Increase Web Traffic” was detailed and awesome.  I resonated most with Liz Strauss, because she writes in a warm, fuzzy style.

Question 2:  Best advice that people might skip over was a tip from Chris Brogan in “40 Ways to Deliver Killer Blog Content”:  Deconstruct what your favorite writers do, and try it your own way.

It’s not a blog tip, but a writing tip that is HUGE.  Backwards engineer what other successful writers do.

That's a great idea, and something that I feel I sometimes try to do.  Can't wait to read these articles!  Boy are my eyes going to fall out...lol. ;)

I've been reading these posts for the past 6 days now, and it seems like this e-book has some great info in it!  I wish I was able to buy it and participate, it seems like a lot of fun but since the hubby has been laid off I can't justify spending on anything aside from the basic needs of our family.  Even still though, I've learned a lot of useful tips just reading about you all taking the challenge!  And it's been really fun to read some of the blog post from the challenge that are listed here everyday!!

Hey just wanted to mention that @shoemoney has a typo. If you click this link it is corrected. Followed everyone!

Okay now off to do lots o' reading!!

Can't wait to read everyones answers to the questions!!!

Life is Fragile, so is blogging

Question 1:  Which of these posts and authors resonated with you the most?

Liz was my favorite.  I loved the way she wrote and could totally relate to what she said about commenting and building relationships.

Quesiton 2:  List one nugget of bloggy wisdom you learned that you want to share with the group.

Seth shared an awesome point.  He said to pick 10 people and to write to them.  I think that is a great way to focus who your writing to and for.

Thanks, Pepper, it's fixed. 

Amy:  Good nugget of bloggy wisdom!

1. It is hard for my to choose just one, so I will give my favs. The blogs that had the writing style and content that resonated with me the best would be Seth Godin, Dosh Dosh, Chris Brogan, and Liz Strauss. Lol, i think that is the entire list. 

2. "See blog comments as a way to network with the author, so that you’ll be able to obtain a particular benefit in the future. Think long-term: not just incoming traffic today but exposure down the road." -Dosh Dosh

Can someone explain the noindex thing?

You can still participate if you'd like, Ashlee.  It's all, more or less, on Problogger's site too.  Just do a google search for "Day x problogger 31dbbb".  I never have a problem finding that day's task:

noindex is a meta tag you put in your headers so that robots won't index it in search engines.

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

Why would I not want my post indexed in search engines?
