Not sure how many bloggers there are out there among you, but I have been looking at how to increase pagerank, and a big part of it can be links back. So I say we pool our blogs and link back to at least help get some initial increase in our page rank and ability to get hits in a search.

My blog is available at www.backseatsandbar.com
Check it out, link back to it, send me a message or comment and if you want I will link back to you.
My blog is about music and the general scene as its happening in the KY and Southern Ohio area, though we post upcoming shows for all surrounding states...anything that is driveable.

I've been blogging since July 2002 but all my posts are private and for friends only, thanks to psycho bitches from GreekChat.

I blog, but your blog is a different topic than mine so I have no reason to link to it.

My blog is http://shivb.blogspot.com/. I mostly talk about my [Polynesian] dancing, Canucks hockey, and life in general.

I have a blog, but it's basically me bitching about my life. I do like your blog, though. I'm getting ready to move to Cincinnati in January, so I bookmarked it.

I have a private one on le LJ. This is my new public blog where I pretend to cook homecooked meals. HA!

My blog is my signature for all of my postings here on GC. I would encourage encourage fellow GCs to visit you by denoting that the link is your blog.

My blog is a baby and has 31,000 page views. As the word spreads, more people come to visit and post comments. My traffic has increased five fold since I started.

My advise is to post regularly and make sure that your entries are quality pieces. Think of it as 'citizen journalist' versus providing general information. Blog readers like to feel that they are a part of the discussion so try to think of creative ways to engage them via polls, video, and other materials.

Best Wishing Blogging!

Thanks Blacksocialite,
I'm at 44k & averaging between 350 and 500 a day & I've gotten to a point where I get press passes for most things (Sharon Jones this week!) as well as have gotten linked up on some important other blogs, so things are going well in the blogosphere. Good luck on yours as well....I stumbled through it & it looks really nice.

A few weeks shy of a year and we hit the 100,000 mark a few days ago....!!!

For anyone nearby, we're celebrating our 1yr birthday at The Pour Haus & having The Zero Element, Skyscraper Stereo, The Instruction & Azns n Bnzs play...should be an awesome turnout & each of the bands are really good...from hip-hop to indie rock to dance rock

Congrats!

It's been a great few months::

- 2 months later and we're at 148,000
- I'm going to be guest DJ-ing on our local NPR 91.9 WFPK
- My blog has received citation on NYMag.com and The Guardian Online.
- I've gotten my first photograph published in Outside Magazine
- But best of all, I'm producing my first of many shows, for an incredible musician, THAO WITH THE GET DOWN STAY DOWN

If you live nearby, you should really come....she's incredible....7.7 from Pitchfork, which virtually no non-electronic band has done this year

I update my lifestyle/business blog, Prospere Magazine at least twice a week. Every other Tuesday, a "full issue" (five postings + poll) goes live. I usually write two or three articles per issue and supplement it with contributions from other people (I'm always looking for writers! Let me know if you're interested!).

Prospere Magazine launched back in January.
