Through my daily routine of sifting through the articles on blogosphere, I came across some nice links which I would like to share with you. The first one is written by Eric Kintz (VP Global Marketing Strategy & Excellence for Hewlett-Packard) — he writes about the frequency of blogging and why it should be avoided and rubbishes the idea that frequent posting is a formula for generating traffic and further goes to say that it drives poor quality content. Here’s an interesting fact that he serves in his article – “25 million readers visit Wikipedia every month, but the number of people who actually contribute content to Wikipedia is about 1-2 percent of total site visitors”. Read the entire article here. And no…I am not posting this link to increase my site traffic.
The second article is by Seth Godin and he outlines 10 principles (or should I say the Ten Commandments!) for creating a “great website”. I liked the very first point that he makes – “Fire the committee. No great website in history has been conceived of by more than three people. Not one. This is a dealbreaker”. I second those thoughts completely. Check the article here.
Happy you enjoyed my post! Here is the follow up I wrote:
