Measuring Content Quality & Constructive Criticism

Writing content for a blog, website or promotional print media isn’t all that easy when you think about it. You cannot expect to attract readers simply because you wrote something and put it out there on the Internet. If you build it they will come does NOT hold true with traditional or online marketing efforts in today’s marketplace.
I’ve written some pretty horrific blogs on here before even by my own standards. Some I’ve simply removed right away and others still exist though I won’t be pointing them out. Then again maybe a “Top 10 Worse Posts” section on my blog is a good idea…
I once gave a friend of mine some advice when he first launched his blog and he wrote a decent follow up blog titled, “Swallow Your Pride: How To Take Advantage of Constructive Criticism“.
So in the spirit of good humor and in hopes of everyone actually liking what I write on this blog I think for kicks I’ll find a way to set up a thumbs up / down system much like Rand Fishkin is doing over at SEOMoz with the blogs they post. Everyone could use a little constructive critism every now and then and even Rand would agree with that; right Rand?

I agree that writing is a creative process, and unfortunately, creativity doesn’t always turn into perfection.
Bravo for putting your posts up for critique!
