... doesn't mean you can expect an entry everyday.
Companies and people that blog need to take blogging into account, and apply resources to it in order to remain fresh and top of mind. Just because I started this post with the above statement, doesn't mean I'm not going to try to post something everyday. I'm going to try to blog just about everyday. And I'm full of ideas and information that really can't be had elsewhere, so stay tuned.
The fact that blogging has displaced a lot of print news (because blogs fill search engines with crap and print can't), doesn't automatically make blogs and bloggers the best source of information on things. It makes blogs an unknown or unruly source of information. Search engines have been completely daft about blogs in my opinion. Sure, a search engine can get 'signals' (i.e. links of course), that a blog is trustworthy and blogs can still mess your search engine up.
I'm no fool. When I really need a blog to help me out, I know from experience how to produce an effective one. Take a look at the average RSS feed. How many headlines are reused by bloggers that re-purpose another person's content to grab some attention? There's rarely original content in the broad blogosphere (which is what makes top 100 lists fairly useful).
Will I become a top blogger? Only time will tell. Maybe I'll care, maybe I won't. I'll probably care. I write well, and I like engaging. I missed it when I-Search fizzled. That's why I plan to revive it with SearchReturn Digest. Everything depends on what I choose to do as the story of this blog unfolds.
The genesis of AirDisa (the blog) really was in reaction to a distasteful blogger, who (is quite popular among affiliates) chose to use my images without permission. I want my blog to displace his in search results on my name. It'll happen :)
Stay tuned.
