Its amazing that you can get so much unique content by making a post as a designer unique content takes forever. Been looking to put a blog together and your recommendations for additions like the spam filtering (Akismet) and top commentators are great. Thanks for the heads up.

I agree 100%.. It was partially due to user-generated content that my website became so popular.. it was such a big factor that I wrote about this in my eBook - using almost the same words you used in your post (did you read my ebook?) .. Visitors generate your content, the GoogleBot eats up the content which brings more visitors, who, you guessed it - generate more content.

Content truly IS king !

I never noticed!

Now 260 comments, amazing!

Just shows what the searches engines can do for you, not just ppc. Was a good enthusiastic fan post though, and that was probably what inspired the quantity of comments.

I’m really beginning to regret using Blogger instead of Wordpress - you miss out on all the cool toys. I had my reasons at the time but having your own blog on your own hosting account gives so much more flexibility.

At least I had the sense to use Feedburner so at least when I do decide to move to Wordpress I won’t lose all my RSS subscribers.

Good tips Kieron.

I’ve lost count the number of blogs where i would have commented but did’nt because they required people to register before commenting.

Presumably they do this to combat Spam but as you point out Akismet is pretty effective.
