Latest Members of the Blokester Network
Better Late Then Never
As you know there’s no shortage of wannabee gurus out there vying to grab your ear. So-called blog experts only too happy to link-bait you with snappy titles luring you into their recycled lair of plagiarised content. Posts strewn with ads and superlative keywords guaranteed to make the search engines smile and the gullible traffic coming.
WOW! You can read all about things like (this is just a smattering of some of the posts that I’ve come across this week):
1. Link Baiting Building or;
2. How to Write Killer Headlines/Posts or;
3. How you can be a Successful Blogger or;
4. What it means to be a Pro Blogger Splogger or;
5. Why you should join every new Social Network that rears its ugly head.
Yada, yada, yada. Haven’t we heard it all before? I know I have. In fact I wrote a lot of it years ago. Crikey, with so many copycats out there recycling the same old same old it can really hurt your ears trying to drown out all the noise.
But if you really want to find quality readers and make your blog more popular I have a simple solution for you. Stop following the crowd and forget about gaming the system like everyone else does.
Just join the Blokester Network and become a member of the best group of bloggers this side of the known universe.
Don’t believe me? Click on this link and you will find whole lot of friendly bloggers who met each other through the Blokester Network. In fact I’ve seen so many beautiful relationships develop that I’ve been thinking of renaming it the e-Harmony Network.
WHAT? It’s been done already! Oh well go figure.
So forget that idea but I am being serious. If you really want to find more quality readers then keep it simple and join the Blokester Network. You won’t regret it.
Ok enough talking. Here are the newest members (listed in no particular order):
1. Tarheel Ramblings Lee has a rapier wit and is a terrific photographer to boot. If you get on his good side you won’t find a more loyal reader out there so what more could you ask for?
2. I’d Rather be Blogging Maureen can never be accused of holding back from lettng you know what she thinks (don’t I know it from personal experience :). Maureen is in the class of what I call “pure” blogger. She blogs for the shere joy of it and that’s alright in my book.
3. Blogging Sueblimely Sue is also in the niche of a blog about blogging but you won’t find recycled information here. Just good, original content.
4. Growing Thumbs Curtis is one of the more prolific commenters here who is also a gardener and has a bad case of (you guessed it) green thumb. So do drop by and lend him your condolances. 
Welcome everyone and congratulations!

Congratulations y’all !
Jaffer’s last blog post..Books you will find at my local library - Part II
Ditto that remark and welcome back Jaffer.
Thank you so much, I am honored to be a blokester and am really chuffed at your comment about my original content. It probably helps that I do not read too many other blogs about blogging, although I really should visit here more regularly.
Sueblimely’s last blog post..50 Timeless Blogging Tips
Thanks Bloke !
Jaffer’s last blog post..Oh I’ve got the blues ?
Sue, I hardly ever read blogs about blogging either. It’s just recycled information and it’s boring. Given also Google’s constant fudging of it’s algorithms, gaming the search engines is becoming less relevant than it once was. Especially when so many are doing it and with the sudden popularity of the Social Networks these days.
I should write a post about this reality in the blogosphere sometime.
Keep up the great work and thanks for being a valued member of the Blokester Network. And I agree that I would like to see more of you around these here parts. In fact you are welcome to be a guest writer so send me an email if you are interested.
Jaffer, the same spammer who keeps hijacking your “Top Performers” link just tried again. Strange but it is you who is being targeted the most. This person also changes their IP address so I can’t easily ban them. I will keep trying to catch it but I suggest you watch too just in case I miss it.
Bloke, thanks for putting me in the network. I already felt like I belonged, so this is just icing on the cake. Keep doing what you’re doing, because you have sure been a great help to me.
Lee’s last blog post..While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Aw, Bloke! I am so honored! You know how much I’ve learned from you, and how much I appreciate all your tips and hard work finding answers to our questions… thank you so much. I am truely touched.
Maureen’s last blog post..My Husband, The Linguist
Lee and Maureen, the pleasure and honour are all mine. Thanks so much for your valued input to this blog. I hope we can all be fellow Blokesters for years to come.
Perhaps someday we can have a Blokester get-together and meet in person. Or maybe we can meet at Blog World when I speak next summer.
That would be nice.
Hey thanks Bloke for the mention. Your blog is genuine and stands apart from the crowd.
Curtis’s last blog post..Bye Feb, hello more Spring
You are most welcome Curtis and thanks for your contribution to this blog. You’ve come a long way in just short while and keep up the great work.
