Comments on: Bobby’s Batch #16 – Pagerank, Entrecard and Blogging http://revellian.com/2008/06/09/bobbys-batch-16-pagerank-entrecard-and-blogging/ Thoughts and Fiction of Bobby Revell Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:29:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Freestyle Rapper http://revellian.com/2008/06/09/bobbys-batch-16-pagerank-entrecard-and-blogging/comment-page-1/#comment-7059 Freestyle Rapper Wed, 09 Jul 2008 11:07:25 +0000 http://revellian.com/?p=732#comment-7059 apologies - i might have mis read what you meant there. agreed the backing tracks are very simple to create and not masterpieces. all tha is required is a catchy hook to give you a nice base to lay down lyrics over. ever heard of Thievery Corporation? they aren't rappers but create their music digitally, some with lyrics some without. Thie two albums "The Richest Man in Babylon" and "The Mirror Conspiracy" are out of this world. I'd be interested to know if you like them... apologies – i might have mis read what you meant there. agreed the backing tracks are very simple to create and not masterpieces. all tha is required is a catchy hook to give you a nice base to lay down lyrics over.

What I said is that the backing tracks for most rap songs require very little skill to create. You don't have to be a real musician to create tracks like that. I'm a musician, so to me, it is the music that counts, not the vocals. I mostly listen to instrumental music without vocals. I didn’t sat rappers have no talent.

If you think rappers have no talemnt check this guy.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3F5OTLW3k i’ve got to disagree with your comments on rappers using terrible backing tracks created oin a pc to rap over. the whole point of rap is the lyrics. in my opinion rapping is closer to poetry than song. the simpler the beats, the more emphasis there is on the lyrics.

I don't know how many you have but less is much better. For seo purposes, it's best to have 5 or 6. In your case, 10 would be more than plenty. It would make things much easier to read. I always have a difficult time scrolling. Well, entrecard is alright but I think it's actually been somewhat detrimental to my blog. I will still use it but not too much. I think the new pricing system sucks - they really need to change it.

The second seems to be just 1 Big Numbers Game + really who Cares? EntreCard is a c0ol way to get some Exposure for yer Blog + it has totally supplanted MyBlogLog (dead as Doornail) + BlogCatalog (still very Good) + SpicyPage (barely Warm) + FuelMyBlog (Dry Pump) as a Quick + EZ way to Visit yer Fellow Bloggers + Discover New Stuff* But even EntreCard needs to get back to some Reasonable Pricing for Ads - I am Not going to be Visiting 512 or 1024 Blogs to place 1 Ad! Even my Free Time is more Valuable than that!! :roll: I recommended EntreCard to someone from BlogCatalog who wondered why i hadn’t been by in awhile* Basically saying U get out of it what U put into it*

I think that technorati authority is the least important of all ranks. Unless someone actually uses technorati to browse the web, the authority is meaningless. I am proud to have a low authority now that i no longer pump it up with memes and link trains. Entrecard is better than blogrush and is semi fun to use, but can become overused by any blogger. So are you gonna get entrecard? hahaha :mrgreen: Hi Debbie, I’ve gained some new readers from entrecard and many are repeat readers, but those are mostly people I already knew before joining E.C.

I will point out that great content doesn't constitute a great blog. Many blogs that generate a lot of money have terrible content but are really smart and designed to score on a particular keyword, thus generating a specific kind of traffic (you probably already knew that). It's much like music: the best music is definitely not in the top selling area because it's not about quality, but instead are specifically designed marketing campaigns to capture the "what's hot" market. To me, content is what makes a blog great, which is why I don't read the more popular ones :smile: Thanks Guy, you have the right approach in using entrecard.

I am surprised you didn't mention the Technorati <strong>Thong Tag</strong> used to advertise Blog Authority? Seems to me that most people who are not Bloggers either have no idea or care about Page Rank and Technorati Authority. People using search engines are scanning sites to see if a post or site has the information they need and they most likely will never see the Pork Rations and Technorati Thong Tags. After the hype of Blog Rush and seeing the increased Page hits equalled zero seconds of visit time, Entrecard seems to be another web scam that promises digital miracles of increased traffic not readers.

No one second drops for me. I read the post, then comment on it. And if there is a social bookmarking link available, I Digg & Stumble it. I do that in the hopes that others will do the same, and take the same care in reading that I did. Most of the time I get little to no folks even coming over to drop, but that is ok. I am more interested in having an EC reputation as someone who takes the network seriously, and is not just there to make their stats go up. Besides, blogs are not judged by stats, they are judged by content and comments. So let those who oppose sincerity have their one second visits. Nice posts and a nice website btw...

It's really nice to see you :smile: I will keep using it. I think I was in a strange mood when I wrote this and was being overly critical of Entrecard. I can't complain about it, it has brought me a lot of traffic and it's fun to use. I tend to approach it with a laid back attitude and don't want to overly depend on it. Today, I went crazy using it and clicked around 500 sites...hahaha. :mrgreen: Hi Ruby! It’s really nice to see you :smile: I will keep using it.
