This week we have our first celebrity blogger asking for a pimping. Many of you will have come across Paul Stamatiou and his blog on your blogging travels.
Paul’s blog already has an envious Page Rank of 6 and is well trafficked with roughly 7K daily pageviews, 4.5k unique visitors per day and 4K feed subscribers. He has however asked for help and ideas on :
- Increasing readership
- Monetising without being ugly i.e. no text ads
Please have a look at his site before adding any ideas in the forum. I’m really interested to see what ideas we come up with collectively. We’re in our 8th week now, so everyone knows the drill now. Remember all ideas are welcomed – this is a team effort. Lets see if between us we can make a noticeable difference within a week to Paul’s blog.
Ok, let’s get pimping!
If you would like your site to be included in a future Pimp My Blog then please submit your blog here. Don’t forget that the forum contains many other tools & tips that can be utilised whilst you are waiting.
Here are a few suggestions for increasing subscribers:
1) Use the somewhat universal subscribe button that looks like a dot with two quarter circles coming out of it. It’s getting to the point now where that button has been standardized.
2) Where there are links for “blog, archives, contact” etc., put a link to “subscribe”. It will flow with the rest of the links, and will give readers another way of finding your subscribe link.
Forum please Cory – not here!
Sorry I missed that part. I’ll move my ideas to the forum.
It is rather interesting for me to read this post. Thanx for it. I like such topics and everything connected to them. I definitely want to read a bit more on that blog soon.
