re #4 Brad

It really depends on how established the site is and whether you think your subscribers would follow you (it’s a WAG). I see you’ve got 299 inlinks per yahoo which is something, but a couple good posts at your new domain and you could replicate that fast. Also, you could put a 301 (http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php) on the old site and transfer much of that page pank. I’ve had great success with that (it really did in my case transfer not just my page rank, but my Google search traffic as well). If you have any questions about any of that feel free to contact me at my link. Good luck.

[...] My last two posts at ProBlogger focused on two successful individual bloggers, Darren Rowse and Robert Scoble. While we can learn a great deal from observing individual people, for this post I am going to look at examples of a particular type of blog; the Focused Niche Blog. [...]

[...] There is an interesting post from Chris Garrett as his guest post in Darren Rowse’s blog. He noted some tips and tricks that lead Robert Scoble to be A-List blogger. I guess the main lessons to learn from Scobleizer are to network well, use those connections to stay on top of movements in your niche, and link to good stuff, first. [...]

Good advice esp “Loosen up, write like you speak.” Very important!

After viewing his painful and unforgetable last blog post – (he will be off for a week) – it is unlikely he will be leaving any more cell phone numbers in the near future – nor will any other popular Bloggers

However, the design of his blog is user friendly, non distracting and fast loading – which for some, is all that is needed.

I’ve always wondered why it is such a popular blog. Mostly because I never took the time to check it out.
Great post, it got me to check out Scobleizer finally. I spent too much time there.

Maybe it’s more the guy’s personality as said higher on it’s networking that gave him this success.

congratulations on writing a really good post. shattering the illusion "the perfect blogger" probably makes many people feel more comfortable, it certainly works for me. for anyone who has't seen it yet scobleshow is robert's video blog which is just an amazing way to stay in touch with web 2.0 developments.

Another set of really great tips…just one big question? How does one get so well connected??

Wow!

You’ve just got me to subscribe to Robert’s blog. Did not know so much about him.

Networking is the key word I would say behind Scoble’s success. Definitely everything else is not undermined.

Great homework Chris.

Cheers!

Great article! It’s good to know that even the professional ‘A-list’ bloggers can make mistakes too, and still be as successful as they are.

I’ve been thinking of moving to a new domain, but am afraid of doing so due to linking issues. Have anybody here had good/bad experiences switching domains?

Thanks

Really nice post Chris. I like the way you pointed out the way Scoble breaks some of the so called “rules” of blogging and has a big following. Kind of shows how important it is to be unique.

Whoa, I thought we weren’t allowed to call the top bloggers A-listers? Man, this can change in an instant! :-)

As easy as it is to pick at Scoble, he really just doesn’t change, which is admirable. I mean, he he even added little ol’ me as a twitter friend. I’m still riding that high…
