Comments on: Study: Traits of successful bloggers http://www.burstblog.com/2006/06/27/study-traits-of-successful-bloggers/ The Official BlogBurst Blog! Wed, 07 Jan 2009 08:06:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Lorraine O'Connor http://www.burstblog.com/2006/06/27/study-traits-of-successful-bloggers/#comment-1532 Lorraine O'Connor Sat, 29 Jul 2006 16:56:12 +0000 http://www.burstblog.com/2006/06/27/study-traits-of-successful-bloggers/#comment-1532 I am, sadly, not a member of Blogburst, but much to my surprise I find I am able to comment, anyway. So that is rather nice! My blog is popular because people are amazed that a 75-year old woman can actually write coherently and amusingly about a life full of a variety of experiences. Other than writing about "the olden days", I served with the U.S. Air Force which gave me few unusual experiences in a foreign country, had a stab at politics by running for office in my hometown, owned my own business (pet shop), but mostly, after many years of political, animal welfare and other good-deeds activism, I think I may have hugged more trees than many "senior" females? My blog? -- Eclectic. I am, sadly, not a member of Blogburst, but much to my surprise I find I am able to comment, anyway. So that is rather nice!

We are always sorry when good blogs have not yet been syndicated, but, as it concerns political blogs in particular, a limited number of publishers who are using the service now are tapping into this topic area. Currently, only the Austin American-Statesman and Houston Chronicle are displaying political blogs, but we do hope to add more political blogs of varying political persuasions to more publisher sites.

Yes, I was sceptical after the first month from the launch, because none of my blog entries had been picked up by the publishers, but finally, I have a publisher who has chosen my blog and is driving traffic to the blog. It makes the research and time I put into my blog entries worthwhile. Thanks! :) I just want to say a BIG thank you to the guys at Blogburst.

I blog on personal things, share ideas on job hunting, but my most interesting i think are my own product and service ideas that i call "Open Source Ideas". Anyhow, I will continue creating content and enjoy it, maybe someone else will enjoy it as well. Thanks for the information. I haven’t got a lot of readers as yet, still finding my way.

My blog has changed over the two years I have authored - moving from a strict craft-related blog to include more details about regional events, travel, health/wellness, fashion, and social and environmental concerns, etc. However, each post has a distinct "crafty" focus, as most of my readers are from that community. I also visit many other blogs, leaving comments and feedback, in turn hoping that they will visit my blog. This method has worked quite well in the past, so I will continue to do it. I like to keep a positive focus in my posts - there is enough bad news around! - and many of my readers have commented to say that they find my posts inspirational and a breath of fresh air for this reason.

The blogger is focused on being true to herself or himself, and not on any single topic. Such bloggers can write about several different topics, like current technologies, pop culture, future trends, blog design, and marketing. Hey, that sounds like me! Imagine that!

I haven't found much interest in news-like posts, so I aim to write posts that address a problem, provide helpful advice, and whenever possible reference web or book resources that have helped me in similiar situations. I'm new to BlogBurst though and haven't had anything picked up on this network, so can't really discuss what works specifically here.
