Another site that I ended up on today is Performancing.com.According to their banner, their motto is: "Helping Bloggers Succeed...". Based only on a cursory glance of their home page, this actually appears to be a good resource for bloggers. They have several people blogging (they recently invited members to blog), and their take on blog improvment and promotion appears to offer something new, including non-digital ways of promoting your blog/site. The overall feel of the site appears to be professional but friendly.

Two of the several posts that caught my eye are "Build Your Blog Profile Through Conventional Media" (non-digital promotion) by Peter Brady and "Positioning Your Blog" (applying marketing principles) by Chris Garrett. Chris also has an ongoing series of posts reviewing several blogging platforms besides Wordpress and Movable Type.

The only thing that I really find quite surprising is Performancing.com have ignored the wisdom of using keywords in the URLs of posts/articles and used cryptic URLs instead, which reduces the relevancy ranking of their articles in most search engines. Nevertheless, if you are a blogger, this is a site worth checking out. I've read about 10 articles so far and all of the advice seems rather level-headed and informative, and definitely well-rounded. Much of the content goes beyond the standard fare found elsewhere.
