Would You Use a New Free Blog Service If It Has Exclusive Tools and/or Features?

GuruGazette · 12-05-2008, 10:28 AM

Hi All,

I recently updated some of my EZA articles and discovered they will no longer allow your signature to link to sites which mention PLR content. I have a lot of heated things to say about this but am biting my tongue instead, and revisiting some ideas I've been working on for awhile.

Getting free blogs is pretty easy to do these days (Squidoo, blogger, wordpress.com, etc) so I'm wondering what would entice you to sign up for "yet another one"?

I'm thinking about offering a blog service which could be used for bum/article marketing, but provides some exclusive and unique stuff too.

Exclusive Search engine optimized templates for example, as well as premium plugins and tools.

I'm thinking of offering free blogs which allow use of my premium ZipPoster plugin for example, and a couple of others I've got almost ready for release.

The only payment would be in the form of AdSense revenue share... my ads would show something like 20-25% of the time for example.

So would premium and/or exclusive plugins, tools, and themes along with revenue share be enticing enough for you to set up a free blog? Are there other things you'd like to see instead or in addition to these? Other thoughts, comments, suggestions and opinions are welcome too

Thanks in advance,
Kathy

If blogs hosted there are getting indexed by Google quickly.
If I can enter HTML links.
If there isn't "nofollow" on the links.

After that any additional features do not matter for me.

Thanks for the feedback Kirk.

As to your requirements: Absolutely

There wouldn't be much point to setting up a new network if you couldn't create HTML links right?

And no silly nofollow stuff and yes the site I'm thinking about using gets spidered and indexed very quickly.

Anyone else with thoughts on this?
Thanks again,
Kathy

What is PLR content

Scott Woodside · 12-05-2008, 03:02 PM

Free Blog? You get what you pay for. People see you as not really serious enough to have your own business or blog. It's the same as using a gmail account. Perception is reality.

Scott,

Some people feel that way yes, but they make excellent marketing and traffic generation tools. People use free blogs and blog-like services for the same reasons they distribute free articles: To get links, traffic, and rankings. And it works
