Blogging for Page Views
Walnut Creek CA: One of the main reasons I'm using Blogger or Blogspot is during my testing phase it was clear that Google was indexing pages nearly on the spot. The traffic patterns was noticeably better with near instantaneous search updates as some pages appeared in minutes. I also operate another blog that gets far more traffic but it not related to tech, they have broader audience but technical the articles required a great deal more effort to "get it right" which if you've ever written a tech page then you'll agree as one mistake can leave the reader super ticked at you the writer.
As time goes by this blog will have thousands of pages but eventually I'll drive it from an ASP.NET Blog Engine or my own personal version or perhaps I'll be in the after-life looking down and laughing at my mistakes but chances are during the pearly gates inauguration period the code will be quite useless as the next release is always.
There are a number of factors why a database engine is needed as Blogger is not a database at the end user level but it does run on a database. There are numerous weak spots such as auto-indexing, custom sorting, page layouts that could be better but search limitations have their moments but dammit it works. Soon I'll be using SQL driven pages to create these pages and related indexes but I'll posting the code, forms, reports as sort of an incubating project.
Blogger is fast way to find an audience but this long time web developer never considered blogging to be viable as I went what a bunch of bull ---- but alas I'm here.
By morning this new page will be indexed on Google Search. Hurry, the mean Google Search Machine is seeking the ROBOTS.TXT file - no file? no problem they gonna take every page.
Careful for what you wish for and careful what you post.
