7 Secrets of the 80/20 Blogger

1. 80% of your posts are meaningless.
It’s almost certain that 80% of your blogging posts are going to be absolutely meaningless. Just like this one. But you have to have them. Otherwise people quit visiting, and if they quit visiting than the 20% of your posts that do matter , don’t matter anymore. Without visitors the 20% of your posts are worthless. What the hell are we talking about? The 20% of your posts that get linked by someone else. That’s what the fuck we mean.

2. Jose Cuervo is a new Web 2.0 resource.
Once you know how to spot when you think your in a 20% groove than you can move into more of a 40% ratio and really find success blogging. And if you can’t just wing it. Your not bound for success. You have to be able to start thinking about that 20% and really just be on the ball here. You definetly need to move into more of a 80/20 range. Where 80% of your posts are being talked about and linked to, commented on, etc. The only way to do that is to fucking live a little. Shots of tequila before posting will increase your success three fold.

3. Be Unique. Don’t be like everyone else. That is so Web 1.0.

You should be really tired of looking at your stats and seeing that only 20% of your site traffic is return visitors. And the rest comes from Google and the common search is something retarded like “Naked Calacanis”. This is really scary folks. This actually happened. I hate Google Traffic. So what am I going to do? I am going to change. I have to be unique. I have to find topics and talk about them uniquely. People need to hear things in a new way. This is how to move into the 80/20 range.

4. Become a Google Wunderkind. Delete your archives.

Review all your posts. Clear out the ones that aren’t popular. Google will like you even more than ever. If you have less content but more of it is linked. Guess what? You become an overnight google wunderkind. This is something they don’t want you knowing. But it works.

5. Drop all the contextual advertising bullcrap. Simplicity is betta.
Remove advertising that isn’t making you money. Jebus. For crying out loud if you cut out the 80% of advertising that isn’t making you money and just optimized the 20% that is your readers are going to visit your fucking site more you idiots in the blogging networks. You know who you are. Don’t make me drag you into the public forum.

7. Quit feeding at the trough.
Spend more time blogging and less time reading RSS feeds,Delicio.us feeds, and all those other feeds. It’s a fucking waste of time. Quit feeding at the trough and get out there and do some creative writing of your own. That’s what people feast on. That’s where the money is.
