What to blog about?
Do you ever have those days where it’s like… wow what should I blog about today? This is the exact type of day I’m having. Perhaps it’s this whole long weekend 3 days off thing that messes me up but I found myself actually starting to write three different blog articles this morning. So instead of writing an actual informative and informational article I decided I wanted to talk with all my blog readers first. I think it’s important to know what your readers are thinking regarding your writing style and blogging topics. Perhaps ones blog is unsuccessful due to the content being written and or lack of interest.
The most obvious way to determine if I’m doing things right would be to ask my blogging friends and readers what they think. In today’s article I would like to as my readers to fill out this tiny questionnaire and reply using the answers as your comment. Please don’t feel like you have to answer them all as some questions may not apply. Do however answer all questions you feel you have something to say about.
Questionnaire
- Do you enjoy SEO and Marketing?
- Do you enjoy reading helpful tips and hints on how to improve the performance of your blog?
- Would you agree that Search Engine Traffic is the most important?
- Could you safely say without a doubt you have in fact learned something from my writing?
- Do you find I blog about blog engage too much?
- If I was to incorporate new topics and categories into my blog what would you suggest?
Depending on the response I get from my readers will determine what I will focus on over the next month of blogging. I think it’s important to listen to your readers when deciding what direction a blog will be going. If you take a right and everyone wanted to go left it’s not going to be good for your blog and you can potentially lose readership. This is exactly what I’m trying to avoid.
Feedback
Within your comment I would also be interested to hear what you have to say regarding what I’ve done to date. I enjoy feedback positive or negative so if you have suggestions please share them with me today.

I can tell you I’ve learnt a lot from you and the way you market your websites and yourself. I like this blog even if lately you’ve been busy with blogengage.
I think you just have to keep working on seo tips and marketing articles, and agree that search engine traffic is the must for every site.

I think it is better not to write anything than to write meaningless posts, not that this is a meaningless post though. I liked it. I just have seen a few other blogs where authors wrote about random stuff that did not make any sense, when they should have just taken a day off.
.-= Jason´s last blog ..What is going on with WordPress? =-.
Jason I would have to agree with you 100% I would also rather blog about nothing then some silly non interesting rant about random things. Especially when it’s irrelevant to the blog.
.-= bbrian017´s last blog ..Community Spotlight, Hesham from New Media Bloggers and Zebida =-.
Good point there. Lots of bloggers want to have a post a day, and they do not bother making sure their posts are relevant to their niche. I can understand about blogs that write about anything and everything but lots of bloggers just want to keep that goal of writing one post a day.
.-= Jason´s last blog ..What is going on with WordPress? =-.
It’s ironic you say that because this is where I’m at now. but ever since I started the blog engage blog,

I’m finding it harder and harder.
I think I have to start utilizing my weekends more and prepare even more in advance.
