Buzzbums, unfortunately, seemed to be the most poorly organized weblog link I’ve seen in a while. It appeared that they had to manually qualify you, and all it ever did was display the top 10.

Now that they’re not paying for the banner on John Chow’s site anymore, I guess they’re useless.

I think I mentioned in a previous post that I’m reviewing the buzzbums thing too.

one niche I’ve found are pizza toppings. I can hear laughter already, but the amount of searches done for pizza toppings is crazy. And the chances of getting #1 is great if not easy.

I didn’t think about that with the digg, you’re right about work, nobody wants to spend that time. They just want to click the button.

Buzzbums traffic has really dropped, the banner isn’t on Chows site anymore.

But I will have to venture out and capture some SE traffic.

Try my advice on SEQR perhaps? Focus on a niche you COULD achieve, as long as it doesn’t get too out of your directions.

The beauty of a blog is that there’s flexibility.. look at my posts, and look at John Chow’s blog. It ranges sooo much in topics, that you can sort of pull it off.

Also, ALWAYS digg your own articles. The first digg takes a lot more work to categorize/submit. So do it for people. Most others will not bother unless they feel they NEED to digg it, which is rare. Let your articles show up on Digg for at least 10 minutes (or less) under the “Upcoming” section and it will get more exposure.

Also try signing up with buzzbums (link is on my sidebar with the technorati/mybloglog bars).

wow, everytime you post about your doings and accomplishments, I get inspired to work on seo. To tell you the truth my site gets almost 0 visitors from the search engines a day. On average I’ll get maybe 2.

What does that say? Yesterday I pulled in 243 unique visitors. All through links. Those have been the pipelines I’ve been working on but I really would like a good seo strategy to follow.

I’ve used my own tools to find keyword strengths and which keywords were getting a lot of traffic per month. One set of keywords seems very easy to climb to #1 but completely 100% not relevant to what I’m doing. Should I still capture this obscure market? It would be a kind of embarassing post to use those keywords.

What’s your advice?
