Media Marketing, blogging and blagging..

So many of us came away from Cybermummy with thoughts, ideas and information about our blogs, things to change, things not to change and inspiration for new posts.

I found things that I need to change about my blog and Facebook page but one thing I will not change is how I write -  it is simply me and that's the point of my blog but I will however find my blogging voice.   Blogs are your own space (courtesy of your blogging platform) to write, record, share and rant away til our souls are content.  Blog stat's, polls and followers do not change that fact.

PR companies do ask for statistics but hopefully also look at quality and content as well as, with most things, statistics can be manipulated to look higher and there are URL harvesting sites that can place your URL on to other sites in the hope it will make the person click through to see where the traffic is coming from thus increasing the hits to their site.  I only saw this today when that exact thing happened and I clicked through to such a site.

I do not try and be anything I am not.  I do not 'blag' but I do blog and review. I believe that many advertisements would be better read and perhaps respected if they were less one-sided (they are after all media marketing adverts).

Everything, products included, can be improved and two people may see one thing in totally different ways.  I am not an oracle or profess to be one, I share my opinions, good and bad, in an honest way and although  review sites could be viewed as without a personality or person behind them, I try and make my reviews factual and to the point.  Honesty is part of my personality - I am proud to be honest!

There is no right or wrong way to blog - they are what we make them.  I do care about stats for the reasons above but I do not say they don't matter and then run and check them, neither am I ready to part with my soul to increase them.  I do not blog about my previous marriage or anything to do with it as I have not yet dealt with it enough to 'go there'.  I admire those that can and have dealt with their life and previous experiences enough to put it into words - who knows I may get there yet.

This post is not here to back up or attack anything anyone has written, I am merely putting my thoughts to blog in my own form of 'writing  therapy' - my blog is my form of expression as is everyone elses and long may that be the case.  Without different views, opinions and suggestions life would be much less colourful. Diversity is good.
