[This is a guest post by Stacey Cavanagh. Stacey is from Manchester, UK and works in Online Marketing for Tecmark: SEO Liverpool & Manchester. You can follow Tecmark on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tecmark ]

We all hope that our blogs will eventually transition from ‘just another blog,’ into an active community discussion platform. This largely starts with readers beginning to actively participate in the comments. But how do you encourage your readers to leave comments (without personally hunting them down and begging them, of course)?

Mommy Blogging and Site Disclosure Policy: Is it For You?

25 Oct

Disclosure policies are something that bloggers are creating on their own, or using websites like DisclosurePolicy.org for several purposes:

1. Inform readers that you may or may not accept pay to review posts.
2. Upkeep the integrity of the blogger who stands behind certain products whether or not they are paid to write about them.
3. What kind of content you will share with your readers.

For mommy bloggers (and daddy bloggers out there), this is really important. Many write about products they use and recommend in everyday life. Some may accept pay while others do not. Some blog and their post may conflict with their own opinion.

Site disclosures are for everyone. Whether you generate one, or write up your own, you are assuring your readers on what you will be sharing with them. Of course,

Etiquette of Commenting

13 Oct

When you visit some websites, are you put off right away by the site owner? Have you spoken out, but it ended up badly? Well, this article covers etiquette in speaking out with other site owners.

First off, if you have a website or are a member of a community, you are exposing yourself to others when you participate. However, writing can be easily misunderstood. Because you are not talking to another person face-to-face and you are interpreting the words how you have learned, there WILL be a breakdown in communication.

Before responding, here are some things to consider:

1. What do you understand from what you read?
2. What things do you not understand?
3. Have you been to the site before?
4. What is your current mood?
5. What is your perception of the site owner only based on their blog post?

Fandom and traffic

30 Sep

I love looking at Fan History’s traffic information. Where is the traffic coming from? Which plugs are effective? Which are less effective? This, for me, is really important information as the decision was made, mostly for financial reasons, to not advertise. With Fan History catering to an obscure niche interest, it means getting and sustaining a large sustainable can be difficult. In two years, some traffic patterns have become rather obvious that those trying to market to fandom or those who seek to create in fandom projects can learn from.

* Wikipedia: Wikipedia is your friend. If your site, blog entry, mailing list is on the right Wikipedia page, you can generate a fair number of visits. It increases your visibility in fandom and to people officially connected to your fandom.
* LiveJournal:

How not to appear on Fan History

30 Sep

This is copy and pasted from Fan History’s Privacy help page. It is worth repeating in this blog as many people are not aware of the extent to which the information they put out there in fandom is accessible to others.

Fan History’s advice to those in fandom who want privacy, want to avoid the possibility of ever being mentioned on Fan History or want to never have people link to their work outside their control:

1. Always assume that anything you post on the Internet may become public and respond accordingly. Assume some one may screencap it or discuss it elsewhere, even if the message board, fan fiction archive, mailing list is private and requires a password to access the content. Do not assume that any standards in fandom will keep people from revealing what you share. Always assume that your loved ones, friends, employers, potential employers, the media or academics might be linked to any thing you published on the Internet.

2. Never share your real name in anyway
