- Go to Well golly gee…a "poor hapless newbie" made it to the Top Ten in 6 days.
t99, 9 1/2 weeks could hardly be called a newbie!!
That, plus I got where I am honestly, with hard work, writing (and marketing) skills, and a lot of time studying "the game." ;-)

groucho, it's okay, everything will work out. you can have some of

i can't be botherd
readding all this shit right now, quirky -- if this poor hapless blogger is who i think he is -- and i've been away awhile, and gee did you even think of sending a comment to me? no! Oh, why do I bother with you, sometimes -- then I regret helping that blogger to the top ten when I can never get close to that list and when I am also trying hard to find a way to send this blogger -- who keeps saying he is leaving -- to the graveyard whence he came! He takes longer to die than Camille, or he has more lives than Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers combined! Where are Abbott and Costello when you need them -- hanging out with Jerry Seinfeld and Superman! Sheesh!
okay I missed you too. tg

I think this blog is popular because it's original...
and in no way is it similar to a million other blogs that have been posted before.

It appears that you
have stirred that big old pot here. Careful, you will soon be the target of that little alliance. Any system can be rigged and there has been no doubt in my mind that there are those here who have found ways to play unfair. There are always those who just can't play by the rules.

'poor hapless newbie' isn't original. if you scroll bcak some 8 months ago, there was a blogger called Slutty_Legs also known as Rupert...you will find out 'she was' truly Chris2303. Most tricks were were learned from Chris...she was worse with her use of being a newbie...

I've been here nearly 6 months and I still haven't worked out the system either. Of course, I've not given it much thought beyond one writes, people read or not, and you earn pennies. Well, it's been my experience anyway. I have six months left here to confirm my time is better spent skiing or......writing in paper journals.
I look forward to your post tomorrow.

I was just thinking the same thing Sir Mark. Well, anyway about this little post. I'm just in it for the love of mole hunting or is that vermin hunting myself. I could care less about being number 1 or 2 or 100 simply because I just care about what I write. Now hunting is a hell of a lot of fun....shadow

Really,

But really, I know there are lots of people in the back who are dying to get read, but pretend that they don't care. But they do! And that's sad, but what can they do? It's better than posting fake headlines and its a lot better than self-pity pieces and sexy-and-wonderful-me pieces, right?

To help ypu in your research, here are some comments in Ariala's Blog :
I predict a battle for number one between Chris2303 and Ariala by the weekend, provided Chris2303 keeps the pace. It's a role reversal. This was exactly the situation in about August-September 2003. Ariala had one blog against Chris's 3 in the top ten. Prove me wrong, please. Chris will be number one this time next week or earlier.

If you have 25 regular unique daily clickers, you should be in the top 100 within two weeks. If you post twice daily and all 25 click regularly preferably leaving comments ( the comments have a multiplier effect in that they invites others online at the time to click), the time will even be shorter maybe ten days. I've done it in seven days with the The Hobbit. Mainland US and Canada, London, and Australia are your main markets so blog when it's early morning or past dinner. Once you have developed a 'clique' your blogs need not be 'content' heavy. You can post crap and maintain audience. In the beginning, to create visibility, stir up some controversy, this will shoot you up very quickly. For example, watch Katray's 'Blogit Bull', if she keeps the pace, the blog will hit top 100 within 10 days or less. But Katray is erratic, sometimes, she disappears for days. If you haven't got a clique, your blog will stay at near 1000, 700-800's at best, however good.
To stay in the top ten is tough. You must have a clique. You must post often. You must comment and kiss ass or attack/counter attack which is not healthy but hey , it produces the clicks. Plagiarism is a regular fare, sex never fails, religion if you can stand it.
But I am retired. I will happily stay in the shadows. I have a weblog which Ariala posted below and my website under development is at www.wedg888.com
