Our 1st BGOL team has launched their product.

Comics, satire etc is perfect

We could then show a white yuppies donating to international non-profits to alleviate poverty by crossing the street away from the 6 million americans to some "poor" country while in the background the multi-national companies are digging up money from the ground.

I've seen some people on bgol with top-rate drawing skills. This could be an outlet for them to gain exposure. Win-WIN situation for bluntbit and the content-creator.

Yes, might have to shout them out here so that they could see this when they do a name search for mentions

Drayonis
 
Yeah. That's who I was thinking of..and there is one more but I don't remember his bgol id.



I think he has "Heat" in his username

Maybe we can make a call for artists on the graphics board

It could e a win-win if they use their watermark and drive traffic to their own business

:yes:
 
I thought I would share this tad bit of info. Y'all may not have to deal with this, but I recently got everything related to blaxploitationpride.org completely nuked from google's search.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING would turn up from my website. I went from a page rank of being in the top 3 under the key word "blaxploitation" to not even existing.

I have learned a lot over the last couple of days about site crawling, robot files, sitemapping and a whole lot more I can't even remember.

I have been able to get back in the mix of things, but it seems like I'm going to have to start from a lower rank than I was 3 months ago.


Keep your sight fresh and pay attention to traffic. I knew something was wrong when I went from 600+ views a day to under 100. People couldn't find my site anymore. Google's search has a lot of guidelines that can easily go unnoticed if our not aware.

Just my two cents. Continue the great achievements my brothers. Y'all have inspired me to get back on my grind.

Which is what this exercise was about in the 1st place.

Google Page Ranking is a bitch...
 
Google Page Ranking is a bitch...

Yeah they are, but it's also others as well. Little things are flying right under our nose they we may not even notice until it's too late.

I honestly have never heard of a robot.txt file until last week. Google made some changes to that file when they done updates to their webmaster tool and sites. No telling when it happen, but when I realized it I found out that the have completely ignored by blog from the search engine using that file. Of course that wasn't the only thing, but it was the first major thing I noticed.

This is what I had in my robot file before I changed it. :smh:

Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

It means ALL search engine bots (google, yahoo, bing, etc...), do not search anything from the website.

The latest google modification (Penguin 5) was brutal. A lot of sites dropped into oblivion.

I'm glad it's helping

:yes::yes::yes:

:yes:

I made a promise to myself to do my part. If it's all I can give, I'm going to give it.

Science, work on rebuilding it as a user engagement platform

You have enough content to do this.

I have a meeting now but I'll drop some stuff about doing this in the morning.

Bless.

This would be incredibly impressive if y'all pull this off.

500 posts in 90 Days! My best 90 day post total was 152 and I worked HARD, so I am just imagining how hard y'all brothers are going. My 90 day total after laughing my site was 109, so I know y'all are :laptop::bike::laptop::bike:

:cool:

1. Get a total of 1,000,000 total page views
2. Get a total of 25,000 social media “shares”
3. Get 10,000 facebook likes
4. Create 500 posts
These goals will make more sense once the site is launched next Monday. They’re aggressive goals for a newly launched site. We are going to work hard to achieve them.
We’re going to obviously make daily tasks that will push us towards those goals. We’ll track progress through the 30 days so that we can measure success and iterate based on our metrics.

Science:

Your blog has video content but your videos contain material that has educational value.

Couple of initiatives:
1. Video tagging to expose content embedded in the videos. The tags will ensure that interaction and searching could be done.

2. Create blogs based on the tagged content

3. Build a viral component into it e.g. points, ranks, votes etc
This ensures stickiness and self-regulation

4. Link current themes in society today to video content to provide context to the videos.
It will help show relevancy.

5. Reach out to university students via associations who may need content for research papers

6. Reach out to black magazines and blogs and invite them to guest post.
A good strategy maybe to use an existing blog post from one of those and re-write it using content to show that there is synergy


Good luck

:cheers:

I am going to have to development a new format for my video content. The videos are mainly youtube videos and I'm at the mercy of other people's account. That is why I am trying to create my own stream based server, so i can have more control of the content.

I'm essentially at point 4, 5, and 6, but I am having a tough time staying up to date with what is going on. So far there are over 1100 post on the blog. I will be working on

There is a lot of relevancy to today. I just need to focus more on the connection. I can historically post whenever, but I am being left behind.

Thanks for the tips and suggestion. I will overview them again and visit your thread.

Didn't know the videos were on other people's account.

I do think you need to devote 2 weeks to downloading all those youtube videos.

So far what you are leveraging is a link to the videos.

You need control of the end product.

Pay a youth to download all of them to a hard drive.

Worse case do a taskrabbit to get it done.

Build from there.

LBOP, themainman, eewwll

We need to do an exclusive analysis of "black homicide"

Break it all the way down with awesome analysis to get picked up by other blogs


There is some content here for starters:

http://www.bgol.us/board/showthread.php?p=13839236

And as you can see there are a lot of passionate people on either side, perfect for traffic.


Thoughts?

I think one of those long-form infographics that really covers it completely.

on it, goes in hand with another project upcoming
 
Hey I like the updates but something is up with the days you might want to fix it. Also you said you did some seo work but its kind of vague what you actually did, I think it would be beneficial to go in depth in explanation about the seo stuff. Thats a big part of what I'm hoping to learn how to do. Good job thus far though.
 
Congrats to the team and I like the team and why you chose them. I think it's a good pair up. They are two respectable members. Lookin forward to seeing the progress of BluntBit. Will be following this closely. Lets get it. :dance:

We haven't actually started the SEO yet...just worked on the keywords. I'm going to get into detail later before it's actually started... running low on bandwidth.
 
How can we help drive traffic to the site???

going to the site and reading the articles you'll see links to share across social media sites liking it on facebook or retweeting things. those are the easiest way to drive traffic the more you share the more people see the more they come and look.

also feel free if you belong to other message boards to choose stories that you like or you think or funny, informative, new and haven't broke anywhere else yet and post them linking back to blunbit. the more people see the more traffic it gets and it's appreciated.

we're working hard building content up even during this holiday times so every bit that you share counts and each time you share counts too.

Quick question this post has started me to write a journal to update my goals and I am so far exceeding my goals however I have a site that's dependent on a type of year (its a football blog) how can I keep user interest up during the off season?

Is it fantasy football related or just football related?
