Why I Don't Update This Blog That Often

If you've been blogging for awhile you've probably seen me around the traps as I'm a pretty avid commentator on other blogs. This is because I know how important it is to socialize with others who are in the same game. Apart from getting my brand out there and the obvious backlinks it also brings traffic to my blogs. Naturally this only works if you leave quality comments.

The main reason I don't write on this blog that often is because I have 9 other self hosted blogs which keep me pretty busy. I decided to host my own blogs because it gave me complete control and I just felt I could write what I wanted when I wanted without fear of someone kicking me off because they didn't like what I wrote, which has happened to other bloggers I've come across.

Another reason I've found for hosting my own blogs is that it's easier for SEO purposes especially as WordPress has so many plugins aimed at helping you improve your SEO. Then of course there is the money side of it. Once I found that advertisers weren't interested in free blogs such as Blogger it really didn't leave me much choice.

Still I should write a post every now and again linking to my other blogs, and even to my Squidoo lens, like this post I did on How To Create A Quality List. If you haven't created your own Squidoo Lens you could be missing out on a few extra bucks.

If you're thinking of starting a list and don't want to pay for one then you should read this post on Why I Chose MailChimp Over Aweber. One final thing, and that is for those of you who're are married and looking for ways to spice up your sex life, you may find this Sexual Aids blog of some help.
