\"MsJune is a big month for milestones, it seems. Today marks the fourth anniversary of when I started the Ms Naughty blog. Back then<\/a> I was using a very simple script and I wasn’t obsessive about writing everyday, but it was a good start.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s to four years of blogging. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
