James Farmer over at Blogsavvy likes what I am doing, according to The long and the short of posts – the soapie versus the soapbox, which is to say, “highly targeted content and more posts equalling more entry points.”
James wrote, “This is something that I’ve enjoyed watching Chris Abraham employ for a fair bit now on the advice of Doc Searls and with which I’d agree… if you want a lot of readers, lots of links and a place in the pantheon then you’d sure as heck best be peddling frequent bite size content with a good line in cyclical stories / issues, some political drama if possible and a fair bit of ‘not the first but the first you’ve read’ linking, your blog soapie if you will.”
What I wrote in the comments:
Thank you for the kudos, James. I base all my blogging on the advice from Doc Searls. Mixing it up is essential too… but making sure you have a comprehensive ping server list. Here’s the hint, though: the more you update your blog, even with short little posts — and this is key, so listen — the more often the search engines come a knock knock knockin’!
Bonus!
Thanks James!

I could barely stand my own blog, let alone someone else’s until chrisabraham.com came along. Thank you, Chris, for always interesting and often surprising blog reading.
