How to Create a Blog – Part 6
There are a lot of ways to get your blog started and running. There is no one answer on how to create a blog. Recently we started a site called Hurricane Tracking Sites. We did this because we live in an area where there is a great potential for hurricanes. In fact, as we were tracking a hurricane we decided it would be convenient to have all the tracking sites on one convenient site. The best solution we could think of was a blog. We searched on GoodNewsDomains for a suitable domain name and we found www.hurricanetrackingsites.com. This was a good find because our actual keyword search for tracking sites had been “hurricane tracking sites”.
We got an economy hosting plan and put some articles on the site and added some links to other tracking sites. This site had an immediate rise to page 1 of Google. It was actually in position 5 for almost 2 months. Then, in the blink of an eye, it was gone from the search engine. What happened? Sandbox. Not surprised. The site really went to page one fast, literally within 3 hours of when we first put the site up, it turned up on page 1. The sandbox will keep this new site from mixing with the older sites for a while.
The good news is that hurricane season is almost over for the year. Hopefully, before the next hurricane season the site will come out of the sandbox. In it’s first three days the site got over 400 hits. It was amazing. Sometimes the best iddeas for sites come out of a real life situation. You should always think about what you search for on the Internet and see if it has potential as a blog. It will be interesting to see what happens to the Hurricane Tracking Site in the future. The site will eventually be featured on Blogs For Sale.
