So today it is going to be the technology blogs turn to face each other in this week’s featured ‘Blogger Head to Head”. Technology blogs are blogs that blog about technology. Well, that was before. Now, technology blogs tend to expand their reach. As the technology expands it’s channels, so as the blogs. Just take a good look at techcrunch.
For this week, it’s going to be Blogote and TechTreak. Honestly I have a difficult time remembering (pronouncing) their names but hopefully I can get over this hump. Blogote is a blog that I have visiitng since months ago while Techtreak has also a great one which I am reading lately. Here are the questions I fired to their faces. 😉
| TechTreak | Blogote | |
|---|---|---|
| Describe yourself in less than 5 words? | crazy, Contest(too many to say) freak, helper, smart, geek | Indifferent,Simply and Smart! 😉 |
| What is your favorite breakfast? | Almost all indian foods | Bread butter Jam 🙂 |
| Any story behind choosing that domain name? | Me and my brother just wanted to have a tech blog so we just searched through godaddy but all the good ones are booked then my brother came up with TechTreak(we still dont know what treak is ) and we took it, at first it is a bit tough to remember but after some weeks we just getting good response and we made it so far! | yes, Blog + promote = Blogote |
| Why did you choose the technology niche? | Coz am a big tech freak and just wanna try the lastest gadgets so it will be fun to blog about them! | Tech is a part of life,So experiencing the Tech and writing about it is not a tough task. |
| How many hours per day do you spend blogging? | Almost 3 to 4 hours but in busy day i cant blog for even 4 days | Not even 1 hour 🙁 |
| How many uniques are you getting monthly? | 14000 before 3 months stats but now due to some personal(father expired) problems i just stopped everything and now started to get on the track back(its really hard)! | First month I received 16k+ http://blogote.com/2008/site-news/blogote-june-2008-monthly-wrap-up.html |
| What is your average blog income? | around $800 before 3 months but now just $250 due to bad days! | This is the beginning.. I will post about them in the coming months! |
| Do you read other blogs feeds? How many do you track? | Yeah i love to read others! i have more than 50+ | No I dont read blog feeds.I do visit some of my friends blog to pass my time. |
| What keeps a blogger from making money from his blog? | Content + Traffic + Good Circle and with good management! | Motivation and discouragement..These two things make a blogger reach any of his goals. |
| When does a blogger have to consider monetizing | While having a great content, traffic and decent link love | After writing first 10-20 posts,he has to find out his niche and then Quality seo readable posts will do the job.Also submission to social sites is recommended for every blogger. |
| What makes your blog unique from others? | Style in posts, good design(some self made ), covers almost all interesting stuff like mixed juice! | I have No answer,I cant say if my blog is really unique bcoz Blogote is yet to be discovered and nourished. |
| What’s the biggest goal for this blog? | ha…biggest!? almost every month is a sucessfull month for TechTreak coz as a contest freak i try to get on as much as possible and try to make most of my content with a better traffic each month so it just going to increasing! But to the most hardest part i ever faced is face off with johnchows blog review, i dont know about johnchow that much untill then, when i seen him in a RuffPC(worth $3000) contest, that is the month i tried to make most of my blog to get nore votes and win but with both our votes euqual the whole contest rules and schedules are changed because of us but sadly i lost it and it still hurts(i even cant says that tons of xxxxxx comments i got from a month from JC fans) me the most! but the only hope is one day i’ll be there to break the chains!!! |
For now it is to break the traffic shackles obviously to be the best blog with quality content. |
| Give me a blog you admire and why? | Problogger.net since in the beginning i learnt a lot from darren | I don’t admire any blogs,why to admire a blog when you have the capability to blog better than others.. |
Very cool! I look forward to seeing more! These are two great site, seems like Narendra’s has a little more character and has a more developed system though.
Wow. You guys have too much hits! XD
Well blogote is an awesome site . I say this because i was the first one who subscribed for blogote and since then i have been visiting it reading some very good content . And Now i have become a fan of blogote and have learnt loads of things from blogote and i have become a blogger now.i loved this answer from rockstar sid for a question asked “why to admire a blog when you have the capability to blog better than others..”.I haven’t seen techtreak yet but seems like a good blog…
really really sorry guys for the ugly layout… maybe i can do it better next tme…
Its really good actually compared to before you edited it! 😀
I love both the blogs and I m also a friend of Narendra The admin of Tech Treak. Wish u best of luck for ur future venture guys..
Melvin.. Cool work.. Wish u do some more comparisons.
Cool comparison.
I read techtreak but I didn’t knew blogote is is giving good competition to it.
BTW nice blog.
Interesting comparison interview, as well as the blogs themselves. I’m subscribing to all three. Although I would have got to adding TeckTreak eventually. I’m attempting to add every other Blog Idol contestant after reading enough content to get a sense of what the blog is about. I figured I could easily do this in three or four days. I’m guessing 3 or 4 weeks and that’s if I rush the content reading part.
I like your content, thanks for providing it.
Oh my. I badly mispelled my website url. At least I included 3 of the correct letters.
Two blogs I also visit very often 🙂
Keep up these head to head posts, I’m really liking them!
Hehe.. People are liking them because they are thinking to be the next one to be here… 😉
Great work… Although you must use a table so that it would be easy to understand,Nonetheless I LIKE IT 😉
Thanks for interviewing future best blogs 😀 …
pretty sweet comments 😉
Great clash between the two blogs
Thanks! Really funny. I wish i could spend my time on writing articles…just have no time for it.
