Blogger Tinkers with Google Analytics

BlogLeader, as the resident SEO expert at Blogger Brigade, monitored web traffic coming into four selected blogs of the group. Using two traffic exchange sites, EasyHits4U and Incentria, and multiple search engines, he observed the quality of traffic measured by Google analytics.

Social Networking Blog Publication Taking Shape

Blogger Brigade Journal, a BlogSpot-hosted blog about social networking, is slowly taking shape as a model blog for Blogger Brigade. It adopted, as the official blog template, the 3-column newspaper layout of Benevolent Blogger with its seven main sections and two sidebars located at the right. With seven times the available space for advertising compared to typical templates, Blogger Brigade Journal's layout is designed to deliver informative content with a wide variety of advertising messages.

According to BlogLeader, Blogger Brigade Journal is organized around the Social Networking Projects section (or blog) where SEO practitioners can see ongoing projects unfold. There is also a codex section and an editorial section where technical knowledge and opinion pieces are published, respectively. A products section highlights products and services for social networking projects while a people section features who's who at Blogger Brigade Journal.

The front page where news about selected newsmakers are published do not per se deliver informative content to SEO practitioners, but according to BlogLeader, the front page performs a very important function. Blogger Brigade Journal is the landing page of the blog publication and will be used extensively to demonstrate certain social networking principles.

Finally, the seventh blog (i.e., third in the menu bar) is a companion blog to the projects section. Here, Social Networking Systems is meant to develop a very important idea in relation to the projects section. Furthermore, a supplementary blog on Social Networking Strategy is accessible from the sidebar.

As more and more of Blogger Brigade's publications come online, Blogger Brigade Journal as a model social networking blog will evolve to adapt to other social networking scenarios.

BlogLeader Joins BlogAdvisor and MoneyEngineer

BlogLeader joins BlogAdvisor and MoneyEngineer in taking the lead at Blogger Brigade as he also published several blog posts of his own at Blogger Brigade Journal. As Blogger Brigade's resident expert on social networking and search engine optimization (SEO), he is responsible for increasing the page ranks of the group's portfolio of blog publications.

Starting with the July issue of Blogger Brigade Journal, BlogLeader will be implementing a social networking strategy for the group including a common set of social networking policies. During the first two weeks, he will be coordinating with DomainEngineer to design a network of websites, accounts and people that will link to each other.

According to BlogLeader, blogging projects and social networking projects should be implemented or integrated together from the very start. Blogs have long-term moneymaking potential that can be enhanced by a rational social networking strategy. As part of this strategy, he has directed BlogMechanic to design and expand his Benevolent Blogger template to include a variety of landing pages suitable for traffic exchange activities.

As more and more of Blogger Brigade's blog publications come online, Blogger Brigade Journal as a model social networking blog will evolve to include a variety of websites and accounts adaptable to different social networking scenarios.
