I completely agree. You really have to have the content as well.

Focusing forward is a smart strategy and within that point you suggested a method of progressive steps to better recognition and ultimately a better result. I think this is key to building better relationships and thus a more engaged following. I’m guilty of having posted to the biggest blog in the world earlier in my blogging life, just for (hopeful) recognition. You find little or no return in something like that.

I’ve since stepped down my assault on the big boys and focused more on my content first, and building relationships second. These steps, in that order, seem to be building a better following across the board.

Some is trying to be the first commenter to get traffic, but that traffic is low quality because they just come for curiosity.

But commenting is for another good thing. That is relationships, it means you vote for that blog.

Great post.

It’s definitely hard to make that core list. I did have to unsubscribe from a few feeds, but I mostly just reorganized my feeds and focused on those core blogs.

This is some great advice. The one that do not do well with is “Have Core Blogs”. Unfortunately, I subscribe to so many of them, and it is not because I want to comment on all of them to gain traffic. It is because I am genuinely interested in the content, however, I need to cut back because it gets very overwhelming and I end up not reading most of them anyway.
