One of my blogs was invited into BlogBurst a couple months ago. I accepted to see how good blog burst would be for web promotion.
I have neglected that blog a bit since then but started posting again recently and one of the posts got syndicated through BlogBurst. The post was talking about the NCAA tournament and got posted in 4 different online newspapers. So, what does something like that do for traffic/blog revenue.
According to BlogBurst, the headline has been displayed 8,888 times over the last two days between those four sources. The article has been read 68 times between those sources. Somebody clicked through from the post on the newspapers sites to my blog 6 times.
As for revenue, the only income on that site is through AdSense. That blog has only made 6 cents over the last two days. There were no direct clicks on the ads. The 6
cents came from the video ads that Google displays that are paid per impressions instead of per click.
As far as I can tell, there have been no links created to my site or the post as a result of this bit of BlogBurst exposure.
So, the post has not brought me fame nor fortune. It is fun to read the post on the news sites. It is nice to think that some of the 6 people that clicked through to my post could end up becoming regular readers.
I decided to submit my other blogs to BlogBurst to see if something from another niche could benefit a little more. If anything happens, I’ll post the results.
