New Guy, Please don't de-pants...

OFF TOPIC

Hi.

I'm new here, I found this site on a forum post elsewear that said this is one of the best places to drum up traffic (followed by craigslist and other venues that have proved to be pitiful at best for me) so I am not getting my hopes up too much.

I've been blogging for a year, and after about 400 posts from 15 blogs, I average about 10 cents a day. Awesome right? At this point my pessimism is so overwhelming that I can't even turn on the computer without quietly mumbling "this is gonna suck."

So I'm to the point where I'll try anything short of writing about Kim Kardashian or some soul-numbing SOE article about "Optimizing the matrix" or "15 things you have already tried 100 times that will do absolutely nothing."

I like this site and hope to raise the 60 dollars to buy access to a less pitiful signature link that will undoubtedly go completely ignored and loathed by all.

So far I dig this site and don't let my somber tale of blog woes mislead you, I'm actually a fun guy when not getting pistol-whipped by life.

Cheers-

We don't de-pants people around here . . . we drag them over the coals and let their pants fall apart naturally from all the burns. :p

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

I don't think this is the best place to drive up traffic,but it is a good place to learn about getting traffic.

But down here in the Off Topic Forum is where you will get verbally abused and your posts don't count to reaching the number you need to do certain things.
For that you have to actually post soemthing of value upstaiurs in the main forum.
Good luck either way.

  Why'd you have to go and put that image in my head?
  
  Welcome to the forum. This place a ton of great information. I don't think that's all you need to get traffic to your blog but I'll visit it anyway.
  
  I wish you great success. -Lori

See what happens when you go on Craigslist? They have a 'special' section for 'de-pantsing'...

  If you do your own laundry, I'd advise you to keep de-pants on! If anyone sees a hint of you having pink undies on I'll get the blame!
  
  Sorry, OT lounge joke! :p
  
  Welcome fellow warrior and I'm glad you are a fun guy, that's the kind we keep down here.

Okay, since you are doing a lot of blogging, what kind of site are you doing it on and what topics are you writing about?

There is a blogging platform that has so much authority that you can write and optimize on almost any subject and be on the first page of google for it. I wonder if you know about it?

  I'm not committing on the de-pantsing till I see the pants and find out the size.
  
  Welcome to the bar.
  As you can tell we have a sense of humor down here, we just tend to lose the sense part a lot.
  
  Thanks
