Hi Dc–

Shoot me an email with your blog’s name and I’ll see if I can lend some insight for improving your pick-up.

Answers for Kay@ Don’t Mess with Taxes–

Hi Kay, I followed-up with the more technically inclined guys. What I learned was that your RSS feed was broken and your posts were not updating in BlogBurst. That would explain the steep drop-off. No new posts = no pick-up. The link for #77 was working for me. I do know that Blog changed their URL recently. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

I discovered my content was being repurposed to aviation week today — even though I don’t recall ever setting up an account. God knows I’ve never seen any money from this. I’d like someone from BlogBurst to contact me about this asap BTW.

Frankly, I’m poised to post at blogbusinesssummit.com about not understanding how complete posts being repurposed in full with no direct inbound link benfits a publisher. A link to blogburst that only redirects to a publisher’s site seems pointless at best, and predatory at worst.

From time to time I’ve created sites that aggregate other’s posts on focused topics. I take care to attribute fully, publish only brief extracts, and link back directly to the original site. The point is to drive link love and encourage traffic back to a publisher. How does BlogBurst achieve this when the entire post is lifted, and there is not a direct link back?

I was absolutely thrilled to see my blog on a bunch of news site recently. I’ve heard a lot of good feedback from my visitors, but there’s no validation quite like seeing an article you’ve written pop up on some well-known web destinations.

Thanks BlogBurst!

I have no complaints with the service as I am regularly placed within some of your larger clients websites, but I do have a problem with the workbench. Whenever I appear on Reuters it does not show up in my workbench until almost a week later, sometimes longer. One of my articles was on there on October 25 and I was unaware until November 16. Why is this?

I’ve dealt with the same. Only, I from #10 last quarter to clean off the board, to this quarter seeing me be as high as #2 last weekend, drop to #6 by Tues. and in the span of 6 hours (the night) drop off the Leaderboard.

I have gotten word through tech support that has been anywhere from, “We’ve been trying to tell of this defect for some time, but no one will listen to us.” To, “it may be due to the velocity metrics.” As a senior software test lead for over 12 years, this isn’t about the velocity metrics, it’s a defect.

I’m back on the board at #98. Plainly put, this issue has moved me from being interested in using BlogBurst as a key barometer by which I look to post content by. The system is too sketchy at this time to place the effort into BlogBurst as the driver.

Two of my posts made it to Reuters.com thanks to BlogBurst. My August 31 post “muclear Iran” and September 10 post “who’s the foe, I says Hu”.

Both appearances caught me by surprise and left me feeling thrilled, proud but mostly and humbled. For mine it is not about $, moreso about exposure and promoting my particular message.

How’s BlogBurst treating me? It’s all good, thanks…

I notice traffic on my blog, Views from the Left Coast, has picked up since Reuters.com picked up on of my posts from BlogBurst. That’s tremendously exciting and inspiring. Other syndicators have contacted me, too. So far, I’m very happy with BlogBurst.

Early stages of Blogburst and the blog was doing great, but nowadays it’s not being published as much. Would appreciate some advice, as it’s a very popular blog and is featured on high profile sites outside of Blogburst.
