Burst Blog

Hello All,

Eric Roach, your friendly blog recruiter here. For today’s post(s) I was hoping to pull off a trifecta of three important things:

3 things we at BlogBurst are doing to help improve your success in our network
3 things you can do to get your blog more momentum
3 great bands that I play in (Come to Austin — see me play!)

Unfortunately, the big boss only wants me to do the first two, so here goes with Part 1:

3 things we at BlogBurst are doing to help improve your success in our network

1. Categorization. Being at the juncture of citizen media and mainstream media we face a lot of challenges with categorization - the way a blogger describes their blog, and the way we may naturally categorize their blog does not necessarily line up with what a publisher’s site might have available in terms of placing blogs. We are constantly revising the way we categorize the blogs in our system so that we can better reflect the nature of our blogs and adapt them for our publisher’s sites.
2. Blog Audits. Every quarter we at Pluck review every single blog in our system multiple times to make certain that it is properly categorized, and also with the goal of creating better offerings for our publishers.
3. Working With Publishers. We have many meetings every week with our publishing partners. It is our goal in these meetings to help educate them about the great blogs in our system and work with them on ways to better fit within their sectional, article driven, and innovative needs.
