5-Minutes to More Page Views - Make Your Content Netscape Friendly

I read some complaints about Associated Content providers getting shunned by Netscape (and elsewhere) when they submit news items or articles. This due to the fact that Associate Content is considered by some Net gods to be a Blog. Conversely, Associated Content isn't considered a Blog by the dedicated Blogging sites, (e.g., Bloglines, Weblog), so, you're not likely to see much of your content there either. A double standard? Yes and no, but it is a problem with a remedy.

While I won't waste time defining what a Blog is, or is not. Here is the reality. There are Blog puritans, jealous competitors and anti-enterprisers that are against progressive, upwardly mobile corporations. To their credit, most large-scale content on the Web is influenced by advertising and hence undependable.

The Net rulers and their public are also looking for unique content, not recycled material, such as that found on individually owned Blogs or Web sites. In either case, numerous links from one location, such as that bylined by associatedcontent.com, look decidedly commercialized and unoriginal. We can not help that these misguided souls do not understand that, Blog or not, Associated Content is truly, "The People's Media" company.

But we are not alone. Categorical misunderstandings regarding credibility took place when I wrote for About.com, back when they 'didn't get no respect.' Look at them today. About.com is now owned by the NY Times Co. and is a top Web property. They fought the critics and succeeded nicely. I believe Associated Content producers have the capability to do so. We have quality content, originality, motivation and creativity on our side. Better still our information and opinions are not dictated by advertising.
