Lowest-bidder-wins contract systems for vulnerable people's services degrade the skills involved and the service users

Most of the Kwug Blog blog posts are carefully worded and logged with keyword 'labels' to help seekers of the information contained in those posts reach their goal. that can improve the number of 'page viewings' even when the Kwug Blog editor does not engage in Twitter himself.

Just as important in Google search ratings, if not more so, can be the combination of keyword 'labels' and 'permalink' for a given blog post.

An image of the latest 'All time page viewing statistics for blog posts published on Kwug Blog' appears here.

Page viewing statistics for Kwug Blog posts, May 2010-to-May 2017

One Kwug Blog blog post has long stood out as having received more page viewings than any other on this platform, and that is from early 2014:

KUWG with Simon of Occupy Highlight What Goes on at Atos' Tresco House, Lisson Grove Medical Examination Centre

Anti-Atos Day 2, Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group style

Perhaps, embarrassingly, that could be because the 'permalink' given to it does not reflect the words in the title, but the very generic heading 'blog-post'!
http://kilburnunemployed.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/blog-post.html


Much dearer to the Kwug Blog editor's heart is the number 2 ranking given to

British Sign Language Interpreters ripped off by NHS contractor

From NUBSLI via Linda Burnip of Disabled People Against Cuts

No doubt the 'permalink' http://kilburnunemployed.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/british-sign-language-interpreters-ripped-off-by-nhs-contractor.html

The underlying message of wider application in that blog post is perhaps:

Lowest-bidder-wins contract systems for vulnerable people's services degrade the skills involved and the service users

Commenting on Kwug Blog contents

The Kwug Blog publisher feels obliged to publish the below as a Kwug Blog blog post in itself. That is because very few comments have turned up in response to Kwug Blog contents, despite a daily readership in the hundreds.

The non-appearance of readers' comments may seem suspicious to unfamiliar readers faced with hundreds or thousands of comments on, say, news items posted to the Guardian website or that of someone such as Kate Belgrave or Martin Francis. The only comments received on this blog that I have not uploaded have been inappropriate, such as an advert for a 'man and van' type business appearing in relation to a blog post about people being forced to move out of their existing accommodation.

It is also frustrating to the publisher. I have been advised that I need to get involved in Twitter to attract a much wider audience, as very few blog readers do leave comments directly and I need to increase the readership in order to increase the chances of receiving comments.

Yet I have such a slow reading pace resulting from very slow 'mental processing speed' that getting personally involved in such social media platforms as Twitter would require me to be active in social media to the exclusion of having a real life outside blogging, such as looking after my developing musicianship. (I also admit here to not looking into the e-mail account related to the blog, because of time and motion matters.)

Anyhow, the below has long been displayed on the right hand side bar of this blog for some years now, to little effect.

Commenting on Blog Contents

Comments are approved unless abusive, obscene, completely off the subject, disguised advertising or libellous. Publication of a comment does not imply that the blog administrator or KUWG agree with it.

Please note if I respond to comments it is in my Google log in — never 'Anonymous'

Commenters cause less confusion when they use their own names or pen names. A host of 'Anons' can give very mixed messages. Even if you use the technically easier 'Anonymous' button to make a comment you can still put your name at the end.
