What I thought I would never do
I finally did it. I have been fighting this for quite some time, but I broke down and did it. I didn’t enjoy it, but I think it will go a little way to help promote the blog. I hope so anyway. Now everyone is asking “What did he do?”. I will tell you. I put SimplyOutdoors.net out there for the social networking gods to see. I created a Myspace account.
I have been trying to fight it for some time, but I want the blog to become more popular and one sure fire way to help that cause is to put it in the social networking scene. I just couldn’t fight it any longer. There is no quicker way on the World Wide Web to get noticed. So I did it and I’m not ashamed.
In all fairness I hope quite a few people notice us this way and then make their way over to the blog and become a bigger part of our audience. After all that is the goal of our site; to attract an audience and to attract new readers on a daily basis. I think Myspace is one way of doing it.
So if any of you out there reading this have a Myspace account, don’t hesitate to add us. Our address is http://www.myspace.com/simplyoutdoors. I’m looking forward to all the new contacts that we attract from this endeavour. The more people we can get our message out to the better:)

keep us posted on whether this brings you more quality traffic. if it works, i’ll try it out too!
good luck
I have to say you are really putting an effort into building Simply Outdoors and I give you a lot of credit. I sincerely hope this works and like Kristine says if it does maybe I will think about it.
Good Luck with this venture.
I think it’s a great idea. I did the same thing and have noticed that there are more visitors coming to my blog.
Another interesting thing was that I had a guy from two towns over send me a message through mySpace and we had spoke in a local archery shop one day, but never even caught each other’s names. It’s amazing how small a world it is.
I used Linked in and FaceBook, although I haven’t been as aggressive about promoting blogs as I would like to be. Guess I’ll have to get a bit more firedup about that.
Oh, just want to correct some confusion. Kris is the guy who writes Jake’s Outdoors. You’ll never see me listed anywhere as Kris, I always go by Kristine. So if you see a comment from Kris, it is him.
Unless, of course, he says something really insightful and witty. Then I’ll probably claim it was me.
oooooooohhhhhhhhh nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooo!!!!!!!!
Please don’t tell me that I now have to get a myspace page if I want more readers. Just tell me it isn’t so…
My wife and I always make fun of our friends that have them. I will have to keep it a secret if I do it or she will never let me live it down. Oh, please tell me it isn’t working.
