I have decided to make a major change on this blog. As you can see I am going about it in an usual manner, but I would also like the regular readers to help me out.
A little background….
I owned this domain from the time I have been active real estate agent. The headline “Real Estate Review Blog” sounded like a good idea at the time. However it does not reflect accurately what this blog is all about. There are plenty of outstanding real estate bloggers who at the same time are also great Realtors. I think it is not my place to even address this aspect on my blog, since I do not have hands on experience in the real estate industry.
It is also reflected in that 90% of what I have written here are only remotely related to real estate as my targeted audience is real estate agents.
The traffic to this website and keywords by which users find my blog speak laud and clear. Many of visitors have come to look for subject related to blogging, internet marketing and social media marketing. I am not sure I have ever planed for this, but I think I am ready to start making lemonade out of free lemons.
I have an idea as to what the new headline will read, however I would like to hear your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to an outstanding blogger and a super geek, Dane Morgan, I have discovered a new nifty website today called rssHugger.
Dane is one of those guys whose recommendations I tend to follow without scrutiny. So here I am rushing to review the website in order to have my blog approved.
RSSHugger claims to help you to promote your blog. As of registering my own blog there were 2538 other blogs in the system already. You can find my page here. Although my page is still empty, as soon as my blog is approved it should have the links to the latest posts from the RSS Feed of my blog.
Considering the fact that the rssHugger already enjoys a PR 5 and decent Alexa Rank I believe it can potentially bring extra visitors to my blog.
If you decide to join rssHugger you have an option to write a review of their website on your blog or pay $20 (approximately $2 per year) for your blog to be approved.
Once your blog is in the system it can be featured on Top 100 list. I will be sure to follow up with an update when my blog is approved and I collect more statistics.

If you are using FeedBurner to manage and promote your blog’s feed and allow e-mail subscriptions, chances are that you have number of “unverified” subscribers in your list. It is probably due to unfamiliarity with “signing up” process in place, or that those who have subscribed to your feed with e-mail have forgotten to confirm their subscription, a step required to activate their subscription.
Darren at Problogger wrote how to handle the unverified email subscribers- I used his tips on several occasions on few of my blogs, with one exception. I have never send more than one e-mails to advise unverified subscribers to complete the subscription process. If my first reminder went unanswered I would just delete the unverified e-mails from the list.
How do you handle the unverified e-mail subscriptions on FeedBurner?
