Internet Babel

This applies mainly to Internet marketing blogs. Which is mainly my target traffic anyway but can also apply just in general to any blog that could even remotely have a face to it.

I think putting a face or a name to your blog helps establish it as more of a brand and less of just another blog in the mix.

Promote your name and face along with your blog to help give it a personality.

So how can achieve this?

• Use your real name when commenting on other blogs. Obviously linked.
• Have an author page. Instead of having an about page that is just about your blog, have a seperate page about you – the author. If not have an ‘About the Author’ section on the about page.
• Get to know other bloggers within your niche.
• Use your real name as the author of your posts. People will soon associate this name.

People like a character and a personality to associate quality things with. They like to see the mind behind the creativity.

It also allows people to put more trust in you. In a sense. It’s sort of trivial with this aspect as somebody putting a picture up of themself doesn’t neceserraily mean anything to me.

Content and reputation is what’s important.

So if you have a nice unique blog. Make sure you promot yourself along with your blog.
