It’s been quite a while since I last blog here. The last time I posted an entry was on Nov 27 last year. That’s more than two months ago. Some of you might think I’ve given up blogging. Well, far from it. Here are some of the reasons why this blog has been dormant during the past two months or so:
1. I was in Borneo the whole of December last year and not once did I have the chance to log on to the Internet.
2. I actually wanted to kill this blog by letting the domain to expire but now thought the better of it. This domain comes free with this blog’s hosting plan.
3. I fell ill, I mean, very ill, during the first two weeks of January, so obviously blogging had to take a backseat.
4. After I recovered from my illness, I busied myself setting up several experimental niche blogs to see the response. By the way, how do you know if you have hit a profitable niche? One straight-forward way to find out is this: set up a blog on a specific topic, write several keyword rich articles on the topic for about two weeks and see if there’s any traffic coming into the blog. If you see the traffic coming — several hundreds will be enough for evaluation purposes — after two weeks, and half of them are from the United States and Europe, then you have hit a good niche!
5. I was busy maintaining my better-performing blog; can’t afford to lose that one.
6. I’ve lost my blogging momentum here, which I’m now trying to regain by writing this entry. Posting an entry, any entry at all, even a nonsensical one, is one of the ways to kick-start a dormant blog.
That’s all for now folks. I’ll be seeing you here more often from now on
