*Adopt a Pet*

One of our tasks in my class is to analyze a top blog.  The blogs I decided to analyze is the ones from the Adopt a Pet website.  The first thing I noticed is that all of their blogs contain pictures which I think helps attract reader interest.  I also noticed that they cover a broad range of topics as long as it has something to do with animals but still mainly promoting adoption.  On their blog site, they have a categories list to help narrow down the readers search.  For instance, if you have rabbits, they have blogs dedicated specifically to rabbits.  Adopt a Pet also promotes many other websites, products, shelters, etc. through their blogs, which also helps to better their website too.  After I looked at how the page format was set up, I decided to read a couple blogs that interest me.  One thing I found interesting that they do is that they promote different products, animals, websites, etc. through reader participation.  For example, one of their blogs is asking people to click “like” on Rally to Rescue’s Facebook page.  One blog I decided to read called “when a cat is like a teenager” talks about how cats, just like other animals and humans, go through different developmental periods.  This blog also gives advice on how to deal with certain situations.  I found this particularly useful because I have been having problems with one of my cats getting on the counter and they suggested putting her in a different room when I am preparing food to help promote her not getting on the table.  I will most definitely be giving this a try and recommend this website and blog to other animal lovers.
