Hi all,

I'm someone who you'd probably call old school. I began my web development career back in 96. You'd mention the web & most people (here is Australia) assumed you were talking about spiders, I kid you not.

Anyway, I was a bit slow on the uptake of blogging, but in the last 6 months I started using it.

Blogs as far as I'm concerned are fantastic, wish I'd taken advantage of them earlier.

To give an example I started a new blog 24 hours ago and it's already indexed in google & achieving top 10 SERPS.

My other blogs get crawled daily, though I do try to post to them at least 3 times a week.

I don't use an automated ping, prefer to do it semi/auto. Still I think the important factor to remember is to write good content.

Although blogs IMHO are a good way to promote single topics addressed in a main web site, I feel just posting a blog topic for the sake of posting is not always going to achieve the desired results.

I'll leave it there for now as I've probably taken this thread out of topic...


Cheers

Dave
