A few weeks back I launched two sites that I'm involved in, topcommentator.com and lucky.ie. Lucky.ie has thrived and between myself and Sean we've been able to produce 60 posts in 25 days. It's also been great fun working on it.

I'm afraid the same cannot be said for topcommentator.com. The idea behind the site is to generate traffic by posting on other blogs. It's pretty experimental and I suppose it was always going to be a long term thing but so far we've done nothing with the site apart from create it.

We've even had a free plug for Leo over at LeoFogarty.com (go and have a look at Leo's site - there's loads of great info on there), but we just haven't got round to actually going out there and commenting on other blogs. As I say it's a long term project and hopefully I will take some time to start some of the experiments we have planned for the site some time soon. At the minute I don't really have much time as I'm getting ready to move over to England. One thing I have done for topcommentator.com though is to prepare some posts for it. So I'll roll these out over the next week or two just so the effort doesn't go to waste and we have some nice content for search engines to pick up.

Anyway, I'm just letting you know that I haven't forgot about this site. We may need to devise a new strategy to grow the site but won't thing that won't happen no matter what is that we'll throw random spam like comments about to try and gain traffic. That was never the idea behind this project. The idea was to promote traffic by commenting on other blogs. These comments will be genuine comments that hopefully promote discussion on other people's blogs and our own site too. I'd rather leave the project as is than become recognised as a site that 'only' comments for our own benefit!
