John Cow dot COM: 5 Reasons I Stopped Reading Your Blog

  • The Personal Development Blog · 2 years ago
    I found it a lot easier to start subscribing to different feeds when I finally started to do it. Now I can't stop! Subscribed to this one too :-)

    Got a link to your site via Viral Tags.

    Funny...

    seriously... Great!

    i am considering starting my first blog, and i have found your site very very helpful, i was wondering, if you could advise me on how to set up page flows archives, choosing a website, to use to host it and such things it would be a enormous help. keep up the amazing site!!
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    What about that, been online for 5 days and already people think we are very helpful! Well Mahdi, how can we help? Oh and Culture Shiok!, did we get Viraltagged back yet? Don't make our milk go off!
  • Webnology Blog · 2 years ago
    Thank you, we've managed to update our blog very regularly and we're trying to keep doing that to pull in more traffic.
    Thanks for the tips.

    I have two cows in my wordless post!
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    Strangely enough I left a mooo in there but it's not published.
  • Culture Shiok! · 2 years ago
    Already Viraltagged back to John Cow Dot Com!
  • David · 2 years ago
    Great post. # 4 really hit home as I had experimented with showing only excerpts on my front page. The backlash was significant. I quickly went back to full posts.

    Smart mooove!

    What a unique use of ViralTags ... I like.

    Aside from the first point, I take the same stance when it comes to reading blogs and knowing when to quit. I will often give a site a week before unsubscribing to their feeds.
  • Rich Minx · 2 years ago
    1. Clever use of ViralTags. Reeled me right in.

    2. I like the dancing cow.
  • roundouts · 2 years ago
    HA, very funny. This is a great blog. wish I thought of it. Well normally I don't like to have to leave my e-mail to post a comment but your blog was intresting enough to do so. I'v linked back to you as Johncow.com If you would like it changed just let me know.
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    You deserve milk and cookies!
  • cooliojones · 2 years ago
    I agree with ALL of these. And I even think you can give the same content, but if you put it into your own words (I mean, REALLY do it, not change an I to an EYE), then people will at least appreciate the effort. Besides, in an ADD society, you could post something from 2 months ago and get kudos for new content, THINK people!!

    very trooo
  • MerovingiaN · 2 years ago
    I'm sure there is more than 5 reasons existed to stop reading blogs...
    However, we're reading and commenting this article at a BLOG!!!
    so this is an irony,isn't it ?
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    But not just A blog mind you!
  • cooliojones · 2 years ago
    Sure, there are more than 5, but think about what he posted -- we don't have a lot of time to go reading through long lists! KISS was invented for a reason! :D
  • Markk008 · 2 years ago
    Boy, I guess you've got it made. In my one year++ of blogging you're the most original in my book. You're the real thinking blogger. Hats off to you for having sharp wit and wisdom, and making whoopee with some cowsense!
  • John Cow · 2 years ago
    Thank you Markk, we appreciate you visiting!
  • Jaypee · 2 years ago
    Yeah, I've read this article before but great job with the re-pasteurization. :D

    I agree on all points. I try to post an article once a day, I don't require users to register before they can comment, #3 does happen in my blog but I try to give it my own style and opinion into it and besides, I use full feeds and I don't post more than 2 articles a day. :)
  • Tarmizi · 2 years ago
    What a funny post :grin:

    Seriously a gorgeous blog is not enough coz you need style to keep your readers stick to ya.
  • cooliojones · 2 years ago
    Beauty, style, and the mother of all, good content.
  • Johnny · 2 years ago
    I really have to agree with #1, if I don't see new posts I will lose interest fast.
  • Joyce Babu · 2 years ago
    I think I will also have to start giving full feeds.
  • Indra Diky · 2 years ago
    Great post! I agree on all points.
  • Fawn · 2 years ago

  • Chris · 2 years ago
    you may not be reading my blog....yet...but with posts like this I am reading and learning from your blog. Look out before you kow it you will be reading by blog before you drink your daily glass of milk
  • CriticalCritic · 2 years ago
    Another thing that drives me crazy is poorly placed ads littered throughout the post and blog. If I can't easily follow what I'm trying to read, I close the browser -- simple as that.
  • Neotrepreneur · 2 years ago
    Another point would be seeing advertisements everywhere . Now that's annoying
