After being approached by a select few people regarding blogging, it became apparent that many blog services require their users to have their blogs indexed. This is a reasonable request as it helps the hosting company direct readers to writers they might enjoy. Writers benefit from an influx of readers who are interested. But what if you don’t care? What if it’s no-one’s damn business what you do with those watermelon? Then what?!?
Then discreet blog services are required and propagate Blogs offers 4 basic levels of discreet hosting:
Private
Blog is not listed, search engines are asked to ignore it. Readers must be approved by the author. Content is password protected.
Hidden
Blog is not listed, search engines are asked to ignore it. If someone happens to type in www.blogs.propagate.ca/watermelon then it must have been fate. Let them share with fellow aficionados.
Ignored
Blog is not indexed by propagate.ca however search engines and blogrolls will be pinged when new posts are put online. Anyone typing “+watermelon +firehose +tweezers” in a search engine will find you.
Promoted
Your blog appears on propagate.ca blog lists, indexes, etc. The overwhelming influence of propagate.ca’s marketing power is focused on your blog. Blog postings also post on Facebook and Twitter. People are talking. Global watermelon shortage follows.
