I’ve been MIA the past two weeks, and I apologize. We’re prepping for the fall at work, and I will be in a tailspin until mid-October. I’m also frantically working on an editing project that needs to get finished before the end of August. Oh, yeah, and I’m training for a triathlon. That said, I’m [...]

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you were wearing a sign that said, “I Don’t Belong Here.”? Has your stomach ever knotted up because you know someone will figure out you’re faking it? This happened to me last weekend when my mom and I attended a retreat sponsored by the network marketing company she’s a part of.

This is the inaugural post for my new weekly series Blogs for Bloggers! I am always on the prowl for new blogging blogs, and once I find one I like, I want to share the wealth, so this BloggersGuide.net “column” will review a different blogging-related blog every Wednesday.

If you haven’t been by in a while, be sure to check out the new pages I’ve written: About Sarah and Contact. You also don’t want to miss the new template I’ve chosen for this blog. For now, it’s straight out of the box, but I’ll be customizing it in the next month or so.
If you’ve been on the blogosphere for a while, chances are you’ve heard the term “The Long Tail.” I won’t give you a dissertation-length explanation because other people already have, so here’s the gist of The Long Tail: Keywords. The longer your search term, the narrower the niche, the longer the tail; the shorter you search term, the broader your niche, the shorter the tail.
What does that mean for you?
Ask any blogger, and they’ll tell you one way to promote your blog is by commenting on other like-minded blogs. As BloggersGuide.net grows, I’m increasing my commenting on other blogging blogs, and in the past week or so, I’ve made a few observations about the kinds of comments I’ve been seeing. Commenters can be generalized [...]
