June is a big month for milestones, it seems. Today marks the fourth anniversary of when I started the Ms Naughty blog. Back then I was using a very simple script and I wasn’t obsessive about writing everyday, but it was a good start.
Four years of writing around five posts a week is a big job. Blogging can really suck up your time, and your life. But it’s a habit now. I’m always looking at news stories, thinking of things I could write about, looking for new porn for women films and sites and news. So I don’t think I’m going to give this up any time soon.
And now I might as well use the occasion to say that I’m thinking of committing a form of blog harikiri, although it’s not going to be fatal (hopefully).

I’m thinking of creating a new Ms Naughty blog on it’s own domain and leaving this one here in its entirety, links, posts and all.
The reason I’m considering doing this is because I’ve worked really hard on this blog for four years and Google doesn’t give a damn. It hates me. My posts are consistently ranked at the end of searches even though what I’ve written is relevant and useful to readers. I can’t get out of this search engine grave yard and it’s pissing me off. This blog page has almost 16,000 links to it but it doesn’t make a lick of difference. And then I discover that plagiarists are ranked above me and it just makes me depressed.
So, an alluring solution is to start again. Continue on with the same blog but do things a little differently. I won’t be madly reciprocal linking just to try and get traffic (I think this is partly why I’ve been screwed over). I only want to link to sites that are relevant and useful. I’m going to set things up to be search engine friendly from the start. And I want to make the blog a better place to find useful information via pages. I guess I want it to be more user-focused, just like Google says pages should be.
Part of me thinks this is an insane idea. In theory I could just tweak this one and see what happens. But I’ve done that already and it does bugger all. And you know what? I rather like the idea of starting all over again.
I did intend to make the swap today but I’m still getting things organised. And I’m still not 100% sure it’s a good idea. But I will probably be moving soon. And, as I said, this blog will remain here as-is, I won’t put a redirect in place. I might even come back and post something occasionally to keep it looking a bit fresh.
Anyway, here’s to four years of blogging.
Congrats on your 4 year anniversary. I know it isn’t easy to keep up with something like maintaining a blog!
And I totally know what you mean about Google. They just don’t do us justice sometimes!
Congrats Ms N, you’ve done a great job, I always stop by here when I need to know what’s going on! Wishing you lots more blogging years and more luck with Google. I did have a couple of nice emails from Matt Cutts last year when blogs couldn’t be found at all – might be worth chasing him up?
Cheers

Thanks Autumn and Ell
And I seem to have celebrated by leaving the blog for several days and not doing any work at all, which has been very pleasant 🙂
I’ve considered emailing Matt Cutts but I figured I wouldn’t get an answer.
