SEO/marketing blogs that missed the mark
Yesterday I wrote an article about why blogs fail, and last week I outlined some of the best and worst ways of promoting your blog. In continuing with my blogging theme, I present a list of some of these worst SEO/internet blogs. These are blogs that in one way or another, failed. By dissecting why these blogs, many which had a lot of potential, failed bloggers can learn not to make the same mistakes.
#1 BluehatSEO.com
I have been a long time critic of bluehatSEO, and in spite of getting a lot of criticism, It looks like I have been vindicated. Bluehatseo hasn’t been undated in over a month. The last post was made on October 17. It’s as if the blog has been completely abandoned. Even if Eli does return it is probably too late because most of his readers have probably deserted him. Although I disagreed with nearly everything written, Bluehatseo had a lot of potential, but by now the damage is irreparable.
#2 tattooedmarketer.com
Laucnhed about six month ago by Wickedfire moderator, SEOmike, the blog hasn’t been updated since October 3rd. The problem with the blog is that it wasn’t sufficiently promoted and most likely in frustration and boredom SEOMike stopped updating it.
#3 Seo-blackhat.com
Written by an anonymous blogger and wickedfire member, seo-blackhat tired to gain noteriety by claiming that shoemoney faked auction ads stats and later by finding a blogrush explioit. Both attemppts at linkbait failed to build any momentum. The blog hasn’t been updated since October 23rd. Another problem besides lack of updates is that the blog doesn’t load properly in firefox. The comments section is misaligned and pushed to the very bottom of the blog.

I totally disagree with you that Eli failed. How do you know what his outcome was? As far as I see it he did a nice blog to promote hiw upcomming program squirt. When he opened it up it got an immediate 250 members at 100$ a month. that’s 25k a month. And as far as I know most of them haven’t left. Now do you call THAT a failure? If you do we’re in different businesses.
As far as the other two as well as my own I think they’re just for fun. I don’t even monetize my blog. It’s a hobby as I think a lot of bloggers blogs are. Just a platform for them to communicate with the world. If you think everyone is trying to be Shoemoney you’re sadly mistaken.

Eli doesn’t update his blog because he has a good community going which you’re likely not a part of. What’s it matter anyway when you are too stupid to use his tactics?
and Leave the crazy German alone.

Why not atleast issue an update instead of keeping readers in the dark? It is a shame to let such a strong readership go to waste though.
