My Favorite Blog Name

As I've mentioned before, Blog Names Are Very Important!

One of my favorite Blog Names is Escape From Cubicle Nation (and it's a great blog too?).

Now why is this a great name?

• Well,"escape" from anything sounds good for starters.
• And "Cubicle" sounds pretty bad in a Dilbertesque manner.
• "Cubicle Nation," at least to me, brings to mind acres of anonymous corporate workers with zero control over their lives.
• Personal Branding -- as in "That Escape From Cubicle Nation lady" -- is VERY strong.

Now part of my love for this name is certainly my mindset. I haven't worked in a cubicle, except for passing short stints as a consultant with some control over my destiny, for almost 2 decades.

Cubicles don't scare me, but me in a cubicle does!

I'm not the employee type. My value, even to clients who embody the "Cubicle Nation" spirit, and I have several, is not as an employee but as an independent voice with opinions and views from the outside.

Now there is nothing wrong with living in a Cubicle for many people. Many of my close friends are cubicle types and thrive on it.

What don't I like about it -- and all names have tradeoffs.

• No keywords or phrases in the name

Hey, you can't have everything! Escape From Cubicle Nation  is simply a fantastic name, and great content as well.

Ted:

Somehow, I missed this before!

Thanks so much! I am delighted you like the name of my blog.

And you are so right ... after two years, I am starting to feel more comfortable around blogs (I knew nothing before I started mine), but am an IGNORAMOUS when it comes to understanding SEO. That is in the hopper for the latter half of 2008 ... educating myself, and doing a better job on my blog and website.

Once again, THANKS!

Pamela,

You're more than welcome. My pleasure
SEO basics are actually pretty simple once you look at them

I am still on my second month of blogging. I would like ask this site's owner. What host are you using? And how much do you pay monthly. I have been searching for hosting services for now to compensate my traffic and really apply what i learn in search engine marketing.

Anyway, that name is nice but does it help in search engine marketing?

I'm using TypePad -- you cn get a free 14 day trial via this aff link: http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2735961-10452852

The name "Escape from Cubicle Nation" is probably not helping much from the SEO perspective, but "Blogging for Business" is.
