Kenneth, great article full of so much info about the value of a good blog. Can you clarify something for me about the relatively new tag service and blogfinder? Technorati is one of the free pinging services you have built-in to bizzyblogz. If we choose good keyword-related Blog Category titles and good Blog Entry titles does this qualify our Bizzyblogz to show up in blogfinder? Or is that a paid service provided by Technorati? Keep up the great blog work! We really appreciate what you are doing. Wayne

Hi Nan, Thanks for replying. I will have a look. Can you please explain the "Ping" Thing to me. What does it mean? Cheers Marcus

Hi Marcus, Really, all a ping is is a signal going to a directory service that you initiate to tell them that you have placed fresh content on your blog and you are ready for them to come and 'read' your blog to update their directory with your latest post. (Breathe ... lol). That's it. __________ Kenneth R Sword Jr Co-CEO - Bizzy Blogz http://www.bizzyblogz.com/krsword http://www.bizzyblogz.com/AutoBlogAds/ http://www.bizzyblogz.com/YourOwnArticles/ http://www.bizzyblogz.com/PrivateLabelBooks/ http://www.bizzyblogz.com/PrivatelLabelAudioBooks/ New!

Hi Wayne, I assume you are referring to a new BETA service ... too early to tell but looks interesting. Here is what I found: blogfinder (beta) is an experimental web 2.0 hub that connects influential early-opinion-leaders via a transparent, ajax-founded, tagging/detagging framework that is entirely based on documented hyper-neural, multi-threaded, semantic progression algorithms, collective global intelligence, and existing, conversation-led, social-media folksonomies. blogfinder (beta) focuses on creating a brand new agenda of radical trust, built on an engaging, 'X-cloud' user-generation platform that will fully enable: rich-experience, relationship-driven, community networks advanced, reverse-flow, citizen journalism pathways, and collaborational, peer-to-peer, personal publishing http://blogfinder.net/ It looks free but I'll need more time to check things. __________ Kenneth R Sword Jr Co-CEO - Bizzy Blogz http://www.bizzyblogz.com/krsword http://www.bizzyblogz.com/AutoBlogAds/ http://www.bizzyblogz.com/YourOwnArticles/ http://www.bizzyblogz.com/PrivateLabelBooks/ http://www.bizzyblogz.com/PrivatelLabelAudioBooks/ New!
