I also noticed that because my article tend to be long, I need to give time to people to digest them…

I may have already said that in a previous comment, but I am aiming at writing at least (and at most) three articles a week.

I agree with all the other points you list. In my opinion the best action a blogger should take is leaving comments in competitors blogs…

Any idea why Google took your ranking away. Is that because of registering with your list of 100 free blog directories ?

@ Rocky:
That’s cool, do keep us updated about the progress
Have a nice sunday everyone!

Regarding DoFollow, like I’ve said, I’ll just rely on Akismet to burn the spammers. Akismet seems to be working pretty well. I’ll update you about my experience.

Concerning daily posting, I didn’t actually promise to do it regularly. But I will try and I promise to give useful tips. This is another technique to get Google crawl Blogging Mix more often.

Thanks for the comments.
@Allen,
I knew you’d visit Blogging Mix anytime soon.
@ Dexter,
I’ll probably try installing luv plug-in. Thanks for the tip.

Nice post rocky. On my blog I belive installing comment luv plug-in brings back some of my visitors

@ Wakish

I like to do full feeds but the more function make it to do into a partial feed any idea how to change it.

On point #9, post frequency won’t help much. I even noticed that by posting less lately, I’ve been getting more comments. (ohh this seems like a good idea for a blog post for me.. takes it down.. sorry for rambling here hehe)

Have a great day ahead

=> Partial feed v/s full feed

I think there’s a compromise with which ever you want to implement:
1) Full feed = means you get more subscribers and less visitors to your blog
2) Partial feed = visitors need to visit your blog to read the full articles. This might result in more visitors and more interaction, like commenting..etc

I have been using Partial feed so far though I’m tempted to change to full feed to have another experience.. but I’m still thinking about it.

=> DoFollow

This will pause a big issue in the long run. There’s another compromise here.. You will get less quality comments and more small. less effective comments just for the sake of that “free linkback”.. I have seen blogs like http://smartwealthyrich.com/ sufffering from it and who had in the end to revert back to NoFollow..

=> publishing one post everyday in a consistent schedule

Frequent post, IMHO, does not bring in loyal readers.. Posting everyday also means your readers will not be able to catch up with all your posts and considering how much blogs they are subscribed with.. I believe in the philosophy “post when you have something informative to say and when you will fit to say it”
But I’m not in any case telling you to stop blogging everyday. A good benefit of blogging everyday will definetly be very good for your technorati ranking.

But at times, as in my case once, you will find yourself with full energy and be able to blog like 10 times a day. I will say go ahead do it, blog with full energy when you feel it, keep the spirit!

So, my final point is that which ever trick you will want to use, think well, because each one of them implies certain compromise.. You just implement what suits your “actual” commitment and aims
PS: The other points are just excellent!
Best Wishes as always,
