Hunting for New Industries

Why depends on other players? You can always trying to fill empty industries with new blogs. That way, you can reindex first and be most ready to grab produced ideas on drop time, far more ready than other players who only wait and grab.

The easiest way is to find appropriate blogs into places sub industries. Start from list of all industries with no blogs. Well, actually that is not a list of industries with no blogs, but industries that you don't own ideas yet. But that is the closest thing available.

For instance, say, we choose to fill Nampa (ID) industry. When I write this article, that industry has no blogs. We can find potential blogs by searching. I usually choose blogspot blogs, because verifying places are easy there. Let's search for blogs in blogspot which located in Nampa using Google. Look at search command I use. site:blogspot.com means I will limit search only on sites under domain blogspot.com. "location: nampa" is a search term to limit to blogs with that specific info, blogs whose owner location is in Nampa. Of course we have to verify each result, rejecting dead blogs, spams, etc. If a potential blog is not in Blogshares' database yet, we should add it. Wait for several minutes, then check it again. If that blog is already in Blogshares, then we simply do voting for Nampa.

Don't forget to reindex. Then we must wait for drop. Easy, isn't it? Well, there's a secret about waiting for a new industry that I won't tell you now. You must see it for yourself :D
