Of the blogs that I curate, Creative Splurges is my favourite. I love what it stands for, and what it encourages me to do. I like the idea of The Whimpering Pen too, but that needs work to get off the ground and update regularly (in fact, don’t even bother clicking that link, there is no content there to speak of).
Somewhat annoyingly though, the blog that seems to be getting all of the traffic is Outdated by Lunchtime. Well, in this case ‘all’ of the traffic is about ten hits today, and fifteen on a day earlier this month. I guess this unexpected flow of traffic (for an unpromoted blog) is down to the subject matter; people like to read about technology, and I have made use of tags such as ‘iPad 2’ which must interest people. It is worth noting that most of the hits today seem to have come from Google, although that may be because I almost managed to get a scoop this morning.
It’s not just views, though. ObL has had two mentions elsewhere on the internet; one chap seemed to present the blog as the best source for a roundup of the iPad 2, and the other, apparently a meta-blog, has put the entire iPad 2 round-up post on its site. The latter seems to be spam, the former I can’t really tell.
Having really only just started out with regular blogging, it is quite encouraging that people seem to be visiting the site. Even if it’s just a few spambots, it’s a start, right?
