Merry Christmas Geopreneurs!  I wanted to share a few thoughts with you this morning.  The blog has done amazingly well during the holiday season since launching a little over a week ago.  98% of the unique visitors coming to the blog daily are typing simplygeo.com.  This tells me that visitors approve of the blog and are doing word of mouth advertising.  We have gone from 0 to approximately 28 unique visitors per day and growing.  With so many domainers and newcomers on vacation and away from their computers, this is a very good start for the geo niche.  This shows the large amount of interest in the geo domain niche.   

Many people like to read the articles on blogs, but for some reason, these same people fear posting comments and opinions to blog articles.  I assume that people fear they will be ridiculed by others because of the way they think.  I would like to ask visitors to put that fear aside and please interact more in order to provide unbiased opinions, approval, disapproval, and experiences.  The true value of content delivered on any blog can only be measured by the amount of interaction from visitors.

Everyone loves to read the comments from readers on blogs, right?  That is the best part of the conversation, when it comes to blogging.  Peoples different perspectives, values, experiences, opinions and approval/disapproval of the content being delivered.  This is unconsciously used as a measuring tool for readers of the blog to assess the value of the content being delivered, right?  It also serves as a tool for the author to tweak content being delivered based on interaction and comments to provide an effective learning environment.  

I have made it very easy for visitors to interact with the blog based on their personality.  Here are the 4 things you can do to interact and provide input.  They are as follows:

**Post Anonymous:  If you want to post something, but do not want people to see who it has been posted by, simply type STEALTH as the user and stealth@simplygeo.com as the email address in the comments box.  It’s that easy.  Comments will be 100% moderated to protect the integrity of the blog. 

**Rate an Article:  At the top of each post is a rating system to rate the value of the content.  There are 5 stars, 1 to 5, with 5 being the best.  It is 100% discrete, and does not show who left the rating to visitors or to the authors.  

**Comment on the Post:  No brainer, write your thoughts in the comments section

**Submit a Post: Write a post on a geo domain topic and email it to me for approval.  I will then post it for readers. 

 I thank you in advance for your future interaction with the blog.  At a minimum, please RATE every article you read.

Thank you for helping simplygeo.com grow!

Godspeed,
Steve
