Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Mar 7

Our topic this week was things we can do to promote and encourage new spanking bloggers. Here are your thoughts.

Poppy: You do so much to encourage and promote new bloggers. You should tell us!

When I was brand (ahem) spanking new blogger you said hello and put a link up on your site. I had been reading you for ages. The fact that you not only acknowledged me, but linked to me, made me blush and feel that I must have something to say because look where I found myself.

So I will follow your lead. I must put more links up on my little space. Mine is a mini-space and I don't think I can promote anyone as I am not yet well known enough. But maybe that is not the point.

Oh, I am all in knots now.

From - Confused of an English Shire

Sara: This is something I have been thinking about lately. I agree with what Poppy said. Me too, as you know. You helped to get me started and have supported so many of us in this community. I wonder if we could better follow your lead by not only going out of our way to read and comment on new blogs, but also to post and link to your "In With The New" posts. That might further spread the word.

Richard Windsor: One suggestion that I have, because I am as guilty as anyone for not doing it, is for those of us who have established blogs to make the rounds of the newer blogs and leave them some comments. It's kind of like encouraging them by letting them know that we are reading them. I guess it would be like “Love our Lurkers,” but in reverse. We could have people comment on someone else's blog :-)

Todd and Suzy: Fellow bloggers can link to new blogs and/or mention them in a post. We know when we were first starting out that meant a lot to us. The wink we got from MBS was a big boost, not only because it increased our hits, but it also made us feel like a part of the community. It was a big deal!

And then readers can leave comments. When you're starting a blog it's very natural to wonder, “Does anyone read this? Does anyone care?” Comments answer both of those questions in an encouraging way.

Other ideas include sending an e-mail, "following" a blog, linking to or mentioning a specific post, voting in a poll (if they have them). Basically, it helps to participate and show that the blogger's effort is appreciated.

We all benefit from new blogs, so we all benefit when they're encouraged.

Hermione: We can do a lot to encourage new bloggers:

• Make return visits - New bloggers get a lot of traffic on the day when In with the New introduces them. Go back a few times over the next week or two to see what else our new friends have to say.


• Leave a comment - Each time you drop in, say a few words. It really doesn't matter what you say, although something friendly and encouraging is always nice.


• Add to your blogroll - If you like the blog, add it to your blogroll. This will encourage your regular readers to go there too.


• Post about the blogger - If you have reason to, mention a new blogger in a post, and include the link to that blog.

New bloggers can encourage readers in a few ways too:

• Reply to comments - Always write a comment in response to the comments you receive. It doesn't have to be one for one; a single short comment might cover it, or a comment with one line for each commenter is always nice.


• Post regularly - You don't have to write long or complex posts. Simple and straightforward works well, and speaking from your heart will appeal to your readers. Or if you have a picture blog, post frequently, even if it's only one picture at a time. In either case, you want to encourage your readers to come back.


• Comment on other blogs - If you visit other blogs and leave comments, chances are those bloggers will return the favour and visit yours.

R Humphries: If you find a new site that really piques your interest or that you think will be of particular interest to your readers, add it to your blogroll and maybe leave them a comment. But why not feature them in the body of your post? You can say why you like them and provide a brief synopsis of the content. It only takes but a minute and a few words, but those few words will go a helluva long way to make a new blogger's day.

Naomi: More comments!

Mark: I would suggest a FAQ or howto on setting up and posting on a blog while maintaining your anonymity. Good blogs go away all the time (thinking of you, Mike) because the veil was busted. I had to delete my blog and change my nom de plume because I got worried that I had posted "too much" about myself. I've learned a lot since then, but this isn't the kind of thing you want to learn by trial and error.

It wouldn't be a “kink” if we felt free to talk about it openly.

Curtis: I hope no one takes what I'm going to say in the wrong spirit. I like this blog a lot, as I do a number of others. But the universe of spanking-related blogs is so huge that it's difficult to sort through the ones you want to read. I know there are many who feel the need to express themselves about their world, their desires, their fulfillments, feelings and observations. And I know that some blogs resonate with some people and others with others.

I'm grateful that Bonnie puts up her "In with the New" so those of us who are readers and sometimes commenters can check them out. And I'm very grateful for Richard's Spanking Universe contribution that allows us to see what updates we would like to look at. But while I would encourage any who want to enter the field to do so and hope that they will be welcomed, one could spend 24-hour days reading and commenting on all of the spanking-related blogs. Not only should people be encouraged to do what they feel they want to do, but there also needs to be a way of sorting them out so people don't have a bookmark list that's a mile long.

Prefectdt: I find myself more inclined to listen to Poppy, R Humphries and Naomi regarding how best to help out new bloggers because they all have blogs that are six months old or less.

Many of us (I include myself in this) started in the spank blogging world two or more years ago. Since then, the rules of the game have changed out of all recognition. What helped us get started and encouraged us to keep blogging at that time is possibly very different from the elements that would help a new blog get started and keep going now.

How can we help new bloggers now? I have to admit that I do not really know because it is not the same now as when I started my blog. But I am willing to learn.

What I would like to see is successful bloggers, with blogs of less than six months of age, taking a good look at their stats and motivations and correlate them with outside influences. They can then inform the more long term bloggers of the things that helped them. More established bloggers would then have a better idea of how things are working now and what helps new blogs get going and keep going in this day and age. If we want to help new blogs, we need to know what works for new blogs now, not several years ago.

Florida Dom: To start with, if somebody leaves a comment on your blog and you don't recognize them, check out their blog. And leave them a comment, especially if they're newcomers.

Whenever you come across a new blog or if Bonnie links to them, stop by and leave a comment and encourage them.

I know this may sound obvious, but I just wanted to repeat it.

Daisychain: The best way to encourage new bloggers is to leave short, but encouraging comments on their blog. Tips are handy too, especially if they are tips about how not to fall into a particular trap such as privacy, etc.

I received loads of encouragement at first, which helped to inspire me and made sure that I continued. There is nothing worse than writing a blog and having no one comment. Davey has given up writing for now. He was discouraged because he only had a few readers. It's a shame because there are so few "couple" bloggers, and I like to get the male and female perspective on each story.

Ronnie: You've helped a lot of bloggers get started and have been very supportive. If it wasn't for you, some of us wouldn't be around. Thank you.

There a lot of very good suggestions and I really can't add any new ideas.

I agree about adding new bloggers you like to your own blogroll, leaving a friendly greeting, and always replying to a comment you've received.

Mija: Like everyone says, comments are a help, especially early on. I think it also helps to remind new bloggers to put some sort of stat counter on their blog so they can see how and what their traffic is and where it's coming from.

Only about one visitor in every 200-500 on my blog leaves a comment. Without a stat counter, I might assume I only had 20 or so readers!

Finally, for those who are starting blogs, focus on being readable. Make sure to look at your blog on different computers and browsers and pay attention to colors. I know I'm way more likely to read a blog if it's written in black text on a white or light background. Black background with light text makes for painful reading.

Karl Friedrich Gauss: As so many have said before, posting comments and taking an interest in the work of new bloggers is really crucial.

If you like how or what they write, make sure they're in no doubt that at least someone out there appreciates their effort!

R Humphries: I don't often comment more than once, but I wanted to add a note on Mija's comment. According to the Woody Geek Squad, browsers all read code differently. What looks nice on your computer might not be the same on those of your visitors. Apparently, the best check sequence is:

1. Mozilla Firefox
2. IE6 (even though its not much used)
3. Opera
4. Chrome
5. Safari
6. IE7
7. IE8

You should also check the difference between viewing in 1024 and 1280 screen modes. I work on a laptop at 1280 and everything looks fine, but on a desktop at 1024, my page looks awful.

With so many alternatives, if your page is hard to read or not appealing to visitors, they will just move on.

Bonnie: Thanks to those who recognized my efforts in this area. However, if I thought I knew the answer I would not have asked.

I wrote several articles about blogging several years ago and linked to them from each In with the New post. With the passage of time and the advance of technology, these posts became dated and I stopped linking them. Based upon your feedback, I think it might be helpful to update those articles and repost them. Consider it added to my blog projects list.

I believe that new bloggers bring with them novel perspectives and innovative approaches. These are precisely what it will take to expand our readership. As a rising tide lifts all boats, a growing audience benefits all blogs. Every reader we send to our new colleagues is an investment in the future of our community.

Thank you to everyone who registered their thoughts on this important subject. For those who didn't, next week, I promise we'll talk about spanking!

Spanking Blogs by the Numbers

Every so often I want to present something absolutely unlike anything else ever published on this blog. After a thousand posts, this is not trivial. However, with some inspiration from Randy, I believe we have succeeded.

I love hearing from readers, especially when they say that the blog has been helpful for them. Two different readers recently told me that they think that MBS is the biggest spanking blog around. While I appreciate their generous praise, I had good reason to believe this is not the case. But I couldn't quantify that feeling. Until now, that is.

I asked Randy if there was a way I could compare my blog's traffic with others in our community. Resourceful geek that he is, he showed me how. Here's what I found.

	Blog	Visitors*	% Male**
1.	Spanking Blog	41,120	75%
2.	Michael Masterson's Spanking Blog	19,245	64%
3.	My Bottom Smarts	12,282	57%
4.	All Things Spanking	10,716	72%
5.	Spank My Bottom	8,900	60%
6.	Vintage Spanking Photos	8,732	83%
7.	Chross	8,638	81%
8.	Aunty Agony	8,268	66%
9.	The Cherry Red Report	7,937	80%
10.	Adele Haze's Spanking Model Speaks	7,249	71%

              *Source: compete.com               **Source: quantcast.com

As Randy explains it, these numbers represent a only rough approximation. Nevertheless, we can infer quite a bit about about visitors to spanking blogs and their preferences.

The visitor counts reflect the average number of unique users per month over the past three months. MBS finished a respectable third behind Dan and Michael. I don't mind being beaten by them (Heaven knows, they're good at it!). All of the others on this list are blogs I greatly respect. This is a group with whom I am honored be associated.

I think the statistic I like best is the 57%/43% male-to-female ratio. No other blog I examined was as close to achieving gender parity. I strive to make MBS a place where women feel comfortable and I believe those efforts have been validated. Our discussions are better when the participants are diverse in terms of age, gender, role, and orientation. But that can only happen when readers feel their presence is welcome and valued.

Thank you to everyone who supports My Bottom Smarts and all of our other wonderful spanking blogs. Without you, we would be just talking to ourselves.

In with the New: Back Again So Soon Edition

Yes, we have another excellent collection of fourteen spanking-oriented blogs to explore and enjoy! I invite all MBS readers to check these out. If you find something you like, please be sure to share your compliments and words of support with the blogger.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for May 24

Our topic of the week was good spanking blogs and Web sites for couples interested in erotic and sensual spanking. Here are your suggestions.

Tiggs: Gee, the only hard part about this assignment is limiting it to five, so I'll just list the first five that came to mind:

          Ronnie at Heart and Soul

          Daisy and Dave

          Bear and Penfold

          Todd and Suzy at American Spanking Society

Jean Marie: I read these:

          Kelly is simply the best!

          Amber has the most adorable bum.

          Brambleberry Blush offers a refreshing perspective.

          Dante delivers sexy stuff!

          Chloe is a girl next door who is so cute.

PK: I think five of the best in this category would be:

          A Day in the Life

          Heart and Soul

          Hermione’s Heart

          Brambleberry Blush

          Todd and Suzy

Daisy: OK, websites for couples to read or websites where both parties participate in the blog? Hmmm... Lets do couples for couples!

          Ronnie and P

          Tiggs and Dante

          Todd and Suzy

          Bear n Penfold

          Meow and Lash

Prefectdt: My top spot has to go to All Things Spanking not so much for the blog, but for the resource lists that Mitch has on his blog for face-to-face groups, advice sites, resource sites, etc.

The next three I include because they explore the trials, tribulations, and joys of having a spanking relationship, whilst not ignoring how this has to fit into real life and all the other things that are going on around them.

          Ronnie

          Tiggs

          Dante

And last, but not least, I recommend Chross' blog, mostly for the Spankings of the Week posts that give a fun guide to photos, videos, and articles from other blogs, but also for his resource lists.

Ronnie: Can I first please say thank you to all who have mentioned my blog?

There are so many excellent bloggers out there, but the ones involving couples I regularly read are:

          Hermione’s Heart

          Brambleberry Blush

          Todd and Suzy

          Daisy and Dave

          Dante and Tiggs

          PK is another favourite of mine.

Also, I agree with Prefectdt that Chross’ Spanking of the Week posts are fun. Thanks to Hermione for introducing it to me.

Hermione: There are lots of wonderful blogs out there, so it's difficult to limit myself to five. Given that the couple is interested in erotic spanking - not DD - and assuming that this is an M/f couple, my suggestions (since I am too modest to suggest my own blog, which also fits the requirements) are these:

          The Spanking Writers - A husband and wife post alternately. The topic is sometimes real, sometimes imaginary, but always about spanking.

          Devlin O'Neill's Weblog - A good mixture of pictures, stories and playful banter, provided by a group of male and female contributors.

          A Taste of the Birch - A good place to go for fiction, it offers a combination of individual short stories plus a longer ongoing serial.

          Heart and Soul - A woman talks about real-life erotic spanking as part of her everyday life, and is very entertaining.

          Brambleberry Blush - Truly lovely and sensitive pictures.

Bear and Penfold: I would also like to say on behalf of Bear and myself, thank you for picking us too.

Our five favorites that we bounce from are:

          Bonnie

          Daisy and Davey

          Tiggs and Dante

          Jay

          Hermione

Starq: I think that going back to the beginning on some blogs will give you the very best stories and post. If you go back to the beginning, that’s when they posted the most and all the posts are very interesting.

Bonnie, your blog is one of the best for this.

Another one I really like is Tiggs at A Spanking Good Time. Her early stuff is really hot!

I think another really good one is PK over at New Beginnings. Hers is good now, but it’s another good one to go back and read since she tells all about how they got started spanking in the first place.

Just for a fun read, I like Cassie’s Space. It’s fiction, but it is the most fun read you will find. This is the only one I have read all the way from the beginning and I laugh out loud every time I go there.

My last pick is Ronnie at Heart and Soul. She and her husband seem to really like each other and they have a really good time.

Frank Spanko: For a real life couple, I would offer the following suggestions:

          The Spanking Writers

          Life In Motion

          Freshly Spanked

          Cu-Cu - This is not actually a spanking blog, but the photographic subjects perfectly fit the theme.

          Finally, I'd recommend My Bottom Smarts, of course.

Kate: Most of the blogs I follow are already listed, so here are a couple of sites I really like:

          Spanking Classics

          FetLife

          Bottom Lines

I have been to a spanking get-together with some of the Classics bunch and had a blast! I have only recently joined Bottom Lines, but so far a really fun site. FetLife is great. There are many like-minded people there and you can choose which fetish you want to follow and which friends you want! My name is Scunge.

Todd and Suzy: It really depends upon what you like and what you're looking for.

Justine at Dirty Spanking Blog posts lots of erotic photos. They arev ery sexual. She is a lovely young lady, and not at all shy.

Devlin O'Neill has lots of hot spanking-related spanking pictures too. He just did a video for Shadow Lane. Wow.

We think our AboutSpanking blog has a nice mix of pictures and short (very short) stories. PK's 'Fantasy Friday' is a great place to find stories from different writers. The Spanking Den is another place to find stories (thousands of them).

I guess that's five right there. But there are so many more though. Dante... Kelly, Amber, Zed and Ginger... Bonnie right here... It really depends upon what you're looking for.

Dr. Ken: Many of the ones I was going to suggest have already been mentioned, so I won't repeat them. But one I would add to the list is Radha Sutra. It’s thoughtful and well-written.

Cowgirl: Lots of good ones have been mentioned and here's one more...

          SarAdora's Spanking Erotica

Bonnie: I think all of the suggestions are excellent. To illustrate the richness of our community, my list contains five more quality blogs (or pairs of blogs) that are relevant to the question and have not been mentioned.

          Rad at Radspace and Sandy at This Cat’s Crazy

          Abby at The Little Red Schoolhouse

          Spankboss at The Spanking Blog and Bethie at Spanking Bethie

          Elaine at New to Spanking

          Dave and Cindy at His to Spank, His to Love

Finally, I think it’s worthwhile to note that many domestic discipline bloggers discuss erotic and sensual spankings as well.

Well, there you have it. I hope I got all of these links right!

In with the New: Back Again So Soon Edition

"How do you find all of these great spanking blogs?" Readers ask me that question each time I publish another installment of In with the New. I usually tell them that I look at new blogs that link to MBS, new links appearing on friends' blogs, commenter profiles, and search engine results. These techniques have allowed me to discover and share a steady stream of fresh spanking-oriented blogs.

Now, I find myself with an embarrassment of riches. Just two weeks ago, I introduced sixteen great new blogs. Now, I bring you another dozen. I could have waited, but why? It's better to show and tell.

I encourage MBS readers to visit these blogs and pay your respects in the form of comments. No one wants to bare their soul to the world only to be met with deafening silence. But that's how it feels for many beginning bloggers. Your one supportive comment at the right moment may mean the difference between a successful blog and an abandoned effort.

To you, the newest members of our community, I bid welcome. You are among friends. I sincerely hope your blogs will enjoy a long and successful run!

Have I somehow missed a really good spanking-oriented blog? If so, I hope you'll enlighten me with a comment or e-mail.

I hope you'll visit these new members of our community and offer them your support. A small amount of positive interaction may be all it takes to convince a beginning blogger to stick with it long enough to acquire a regular readership. If you choose to leave a comment, I guarantee they will appreciate hearing from you.

To the publishers of these fine blogs, I bid you welcome. You are among friends here. If I can help, you need only ask.

As you explore these blogs, I encourage you to leave comments. New bloggers are typically starved for feedback. They don't know whether they are doing things right or if anyone is even out there. Your timely words of support can make the difference between a successful blog and an abandoned effort.

To these new bloggers, let me bid you welcome to our community. I look forward to watching your blogs grow and thrive. I hope you find the spanko blogging experience as rewarding as I have!

In with the New: June Bug Edition

Randy and I enjoyed some time away, but we're back now and ready to talk about our favorite subject.

There's a special delight in discovering a new voice in our community. It's a treat for me to smile and think, "Look, here's someone very much like us, and they are sharing their unique experiences and insights." But I can't keep these discoveries to myself. Therefore, it is my pleasure to introduce a baker's dozen of new spanking-oriented blogs. I hope you will visit and enjoy them.
