Naming Your Blog

Monday, June 11, 2007

Google tell us there is 1,160,000,000 results for the word blog. 382,000,000 for blog for money. 40,600 for the phrase "blog for money" and 68,300,000 for the search word blogging

Ok I have blogged a little but not with the idea of Blogging for money so this is a whole new learning curb for me. There is a wealth of articles on blogging out there so I'm going to just set out educating myself and see how I go.

Naming your blog well according to Elliott Back at Internets most infamous who wrote that after some studying popular words used in blog names it led him to conclude

that any blog named, “My blog/journal/weblog with daily world news and thoughts from life!” will be a smash hit.

The top ten were

1. blog - 9.986%
2. life - 2.619%
3. weblog - 1.841%
4. world - 1.296%
5. from - 1.226%
6. journal - 1.139%
7. news - 1.087%
8. thoughts - 1.039%
9. with - 0.670%
10. daily - 0.660%

So I took all ten top words and gave it my own shot but well it was very weighty looking name and not one bit catchy. Check it out

life-blog-with-daily-news-thoughts-from-world-weblog-journal-.blogspot.com

I have settled for "Blog that a Way" and hope to stay on track with that. It should be fine if noone pulls me to the south west left or middle of the bermuda triangle. I am erring more towards the thought that you should go with something that hasn't been chosen by nearly every second blogger out there as a blog name. That would be something NOT in the top ten most popular names. After all it will be hard to find yours buried amongst all those search results.

Maybe I'll name my next one ThreeRingClownsBlogSpace.
