Default What is your blog's biggest weakness?

Thought this would help us all focus on our weak points and work on improving them... My blogs' biggest weakness is probably lack of steady content. I have been so busy lately, I don't get much time to post up. I know that it's the one biggest thing holding me back right now.

How about you??

For this place it was a uber crappy design. Since we're working on that it's nothing but upwards and onwards for us.

Biggest Weakness? Me

I constantly shoot myself in the foot when it comes to promotion. I know how to do SEO, but I don't do it for my own sites. I know how to network and use social media, but I don't use it for promotion. I get overwhelmed and self conscious and then I withdraw and ...

OMG, people are reading this... *runs away*

See how I am?


(Of course, I'm also my blog's biggest strength)

Mine would be marketing.

I continue to have technical error with Technorati.

I can't even sign up to Stumbleupon and I don't know the reason why.

Inkweaver Review's biggest weakness would have to be its niche.

Reading is just not as popular as blogging, video games etc. There is a lot smaller natural traffic base for the book review niche, but I'm still happy, because the traffic that I do get is very targeted.

Mine is my fluxing amount of visitors, I can't seem to get a stable amount of views. I know I have unique returning visitors, but I've seemed to hit a barrier!

My unfinished design, which I will hopefully finish today once I rework my photshop comp and translate it to my blog. Need a semi-transparent background image, maybe new header images, maybe a whole redesign of the entire blog itself... maybe I should call in a graphic designer...

Nathan, you should try doing blog reviews for Kindle or eBooks. They're still books, but when people search for those 2 keywords, you might have some good SEO I believe.

Nahh, you just need a good couple books on HTML and CSS. Maybe a fashion magazine or two!

As for me, I believe I need to work on my design again and make it somewhat better.

I also need to market more.

I actually just did an experiment with news and "Kindle" as a keyword:

The Espresso Book Machine - Better than the Kindle - Inkweaver Review - Book Reviews, Reports, and Cover Art Blog

I don't know if my creative title "Better than the Kindle" will be a big click impetus, but I'll try it out and see what happens.

In a way I want my blog to be different, not just focusing on the overused niches like Kindle, etc. but if that can be good source of traffic, I will definitely check it out.

Default Re: What is your blog's biggest weakness?

Currently? I think it's my lack of being able to write as often as I want to. I've been relying on writing a couple times a month, and scheduling posts to auto-post every other day. That's fine, but that means a lot of my content is a little outdated, and when I'm already behind on stuff, then that makes some of it 'really' outdated (although you can't tell with most of it, but 'I' know). I like writing things in advance, but I'd rather be able to have a daily post...and be able to write more frequently.
