Listening - Principles of Successful Blogging #1
Listen to the culture of the blogosphere
12 more annotation(s)...
- Listen for where your potential readers are gathering
- Listen to what others in your niche are saying
- My own monitoring of my niches generally happens in two ways:
  
  Subscribing to Feeds of Key Sources of Information - these days most sites have some way of subscribing to them, usually via an RSS feed.
- 2. Keyword Alerts -
- Recommendation Sites -
- Twitter -
- Listen to what is being said about you
- Create Listening Spaces on Your Blog
- Listen to the Questions Your Readers are Asking
- Listen to what is working (and what isn’t)
- Some places to start include:
  
  What posts are being read most?
  What posts are generating good conversation/comments?
  What posts are being linked to by others most?
  How are readers using your design? (use a tool like CrazyEgg to create a heatmap)
  What days of the week are people reading your site most on? What times of the day?
  What pages are people ‘bouncing’ from your site on (bounce rate shows how many people arrive on your blog and immediately leave)
  What posts are people spending most (and least) time on?
  What posts are you getting most negative feedback on?
- How else do you Listen in your blogging?
