3 Blog Tips For Generating Traffic

2012-01-22T19:28:00.003+05:30

Generating traffic to your blog can come from a variety of platforms. Social media, online marketing, paying for traffic, grass roots branding, and even traditional forms of media including radio, television, and newspaper. Regardless of which one you choose, here are 3 of my favorite tips for driving traffic immediately:

1. Write a book or training manual
That doesn't mean you need to write a 1,000 page novel. Writing a book or training manual can be very simple. Once published, watch your blog traffic go through the roof, along with book sales driven from your blog! They work hand in hand.

2. Hand out BlogBiz Cards
Very few people capitalize on such a great opportunity to drive blog traffic. Don't be a salesperson when you hand it out, rather be a helper- isn't that would you do anyway when you blog? Start now by handing out cool, catchy cards that say "I help people find answers for their problems, online!" Or something along those lines that shows you are a helper and not a hard seller. Biz cards are very inexpensive and can go a long, long way.

3. Write a news-worthy blog post
Brainstorm with a marketing guru on how you can create buzz and then write about it in a blog post. Once you get all the tweaks out, start calling local newspapers and tell them all about it. Just think: even if you get a few 'no's' you are making yet another contact! Be sure to gain their permission to add them to your RSS feed or email sign up.

Strategy 5: Share your new creativity
If there is something new that you have found out that is not only going to help you out but others also then don't just try and put it on sale but instead put it live to your readers.In a competitive blogger sphere if you can help readers to find out how break out of jinx of not having enough content for your niche through some new creativity and way of serving the post then its really helpful.

Strategy 6: Look what worked for you

How to write excellent posts,even after a long gap........

2012-01-08T19:04:00.005+05:30

Its been a long time since my previous post in Feb 2011.But this has not made my passion go away.Instead I tried to find out time and content for my blog.Getting to the point then this post is all about how we can keep churning out good quality post even after taking a long break.Following are some interesting tips that i have learned after searching numerous content on the internet on how to make your posts more appealing to the readers,regardless of content,time and topic.

1.Thumb rule for any post that you write anytime on your blog

Try and avoid sentences and topics in a particular paragraph that do not have :
a) Ideas that makes readers read your blog more.
b) Ideas that readers want to read on your blog.

Your introductory paragraph should be as such that it describes the theme of your post.Readers should get exact idea what are they going to have while reading the introductory summary.Its said that Well beginning is half done.Apply this from the next time you write down.

2.Your post should be comprehensive of your Ideas

What you abstract about your post content in your introductory paragraph,make sure you have entire coverage of those in the main body of your post.Actually your readers should get slightly more than what you expect.This will make you have readers coming to your blog more often and it shows the quality that you have on your blog.

3.Long posts should be carefully handled

When writing long posts we should have them styled with bold sub headings and interesting punches.Often while reading long posts reader searches for required content through headings and sub headings.So making a well organized post is your topmost responsibility as a blogger.

4.Something different

Who likes reading a dull content with no images or artwork to support it.We haven't liked in our schools and nor do we on the internet.So try adding images to support your ideas,clearly formatted paragraphs,bold sentences to highlight the main ideas.

5.Personal touch

Until its a description of your own experience,who would like to read the mechanical stuff.The "I" factor in a post and the description from your experience is that amuses other readers to read the stuff.

Hey guys it was a long time ago when I wrote my last post but still I have decided to get posts on every weekend.Its a big effort to keep your blog regularly updated but if you are passionate ,you would do all the needful.

Happy Holidays

Hey guyz just wanna wish each and everyone of ya happy holidays ,merry XMAS and a prosperous new year 2012.MAy god fulfill your wishes this festive season.All the best.

27 New Lessons To Get 1000 Unique VisItors To Your Blog Everyday - Part 2

2011-02-26T11:13:00.003+05:30

We have discussed 6 methods to get visitors to your blog in my last post. Lets continue our discussion and look at more ways to get visitors to your website.

7. Make Blogging Friends
Sometimes it is important to know few good bloggers in your niche. When you write a blog post email them and ask them to take a look at your blog post. You will be surprised to know how many of them get back and visit your blog. Also, if your content is appreciable then most of them will link to the post and mention about it on their blogs.

8. Write Great Headlines
As it has been said that you can come to know the content of the book only by looking at its cover, same applies to your blog post. Having a great headline will make people to stay and go through your blog post. It is also important as in case of social networks you can post only a snippet of your blog post. In this case having great headline will lure people to head over to your website and read more.

9. Begin Well
Well begun is half the job done. Having a great headline and useful first paragraph will make people to stay on your blog. This will increase the time people spend on your blog, it will increase the chances of getting them to visit other sections of you website. Most visitors leave a blog in the first 30 seconds, if you cannot get them to stay on your blog for more than 30 seconds then quality of rest of your blog is irrelevant.

10. Encourage your friends to visit your site
Ask your friends and relatives to visit your website and vote for it wherever possible. For beginners you need all the encouragement to keep yourself motivated and to go all out for your goals. Everyone needs some support during the beginning just like a baby needs support of his parents in order to take the first few steps in his life. There is nothing wrong in asking a favor from the people you know.

11. Write for people instead of social networks.
Remember your blog will be read by people although it is good to have a good search engine ranking for your posts. Majority of the posts written by established bloggers rarely make the cut and hit first page of any social bookmarking website. These websites are good to get an instant increase in your blog traffic but will not help you in the long run. There is appreciable difference in the quality of posts which they wrote earlier and they write now.

12. Take feedback and improve your blog
Do not overlook any piece of advice or feedback for your blog. But as a blogger you should know that you would be getting positive as well as negative feedback, and your blog will only grow and sustain when you know how to handle the negative feedback effectively. Remember you cannot satisfy everyone equally.

I will discuss some more important methods to get traffic to your blog in my next post

27 new lessons to get 1000 unique visitors to your blog everyday--- Part 1

2011-01-19T20:08:00.001+05:30

The methods and lessons I am sharing with you worked for me for around 3 weeks till I lost the plot due to my college activities and have to build the momentum once again.I do believe that if these worked for me,it should definitely work for you as well.

1.Stand up
To become popular requires great skill in person and abilities to reach out to a wider audience.If one is chasing someone and not able to defeat or get past him then one should still try out to solve problems for people on forums and communities so that people keep coming back to you in future as well.Also standing out in your niche is what that makes you differentiated from the crowd.

2.Blogging by heart
Many have just screamed in the blogosphere because they see blogging as a source of income.People have stopped writing by heart and it has become more mechanical rather ideas from heart.People don't do it for their enjoyment purpose and as their hobby.This way Nothing great will happen to those who are starting recently.Only do blogging if you love doing it and be ready for investing lots and lots of time.Its only then someone gains some popularity.

3.RSS subscription options
People who give variety of options for RSS subscription on their blog make it that much easier for people to subscribe to their posts.

4.Full subscription please!
It can be a point of debate but I prefer people giving full feed of their posts.Its better that people read your than those who just subscribe your blog and forget about it.

5.Decision of posting
Its is a sure thing that regularly updating your blog will help to get better position in search engine traffic.But if you think that you are not confident about a post,try thinking over it again for sometime.If you are still not convinced then try to give up your idea of publishing your post as a bad post is never good for your blog.

6.Take a break
Taking break in between after regularly churning out good content is essential as it brings your focus back.I have had few breaks in between which has kept me going still.Try and realize how much is good for you and what is not.

In my next post I would discuss with you next 6 ideas to get quite a good number of unique visitors per day.

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST YEAR

2011-01-14T20:18:00.002+05:30

OK! so you are ready to move ahead with your new year resolution and fulfill it.I know what happened last year to most of the people's resolutions.They went off the gas fairly quickly and gave up the thought of fulfilling it.

Although there might be few exceptions who did better to what they resolved and are quite happier now,what about the majority of the people? Here are some alternatives on which you can work upon and forget taking resolutions and also cursing yourself after not being able to fulfill it.

The 4 keystrokes to land up you in a better position are Visualize,Project,Envision and Dream about your goals.

Surprise to some as how is it going to help?Lets try to first visualize some short goal and think about celebrating it when you achieve it.Even though you fail,you should try to celebrate on whatever was possible for you and stop saying to yourself that you are a big loser...No!
Secondly project and envision your tasks.If you have a blog and intend to create some good enough audience for your blog by the end of this year then try to figure out what is the best way to do it.If you see most bloggers struggle to keep the readers coming to their blog regularly.So not to take the backseat and think it is not working for you.Try to enjoy the work and envision that you are actually getting better day by day and try to be positive as that shows in your writing as well.

Visualization also comes with some manipulation as to what would work better for you.For example try finding out what is the best content that you can produce.Try changing your blog niche for sometime and providing something different .This would in turn help you as well to get fresh and you can anytime comeback to your original niche and writing style.

Dreaming something is also important as one gets good ideas sometimes dreaming about a particular thing.Most of the times our dreams do not come true but you can shrug it off and move ahead as most people do.Failure is stepping stone to success and people do need some failure to understand the way one has to deal with this world.

So try to dream big,visualize something new and try to project and envision its future for other people.May this new year bring all the happiness you need to get a move on in your life.

8 EXCITING WAYS TO TURN YOUR NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS INTO REALITY

2011-01-11T19:13:00.004+05:30

The month January was named after Janus who had two sided face,one looking backward and other looking forward.The practice of celebrating new year in the month of January in Roman calendar is started on the myth to look back at what have been wrong and try and correct that in the near future.

Your resolutions may be anything like quitting smoking and drinking or being confident in whatever you do throughout the year or looking to lose the additional fat that is being accumulated in your body or spend more time with your family this year.But we all know that its a lot easier to be said than done.We always hear that its better to follow what our elders say but not try and emulate what they do.

So thinking long and hard on where to start your journey this new year to complete your resolutions?How to perform better and overcome the odds against you?Then just follow the 8 tips to help you do whatever you have thought of this new year.

1.Be Realistic
Try figuring out what is best for you and up to what level can you certainly achieve.Try setting out realistic goals to do better.Likewise if you want to lose 10 pounds then try losing it 2 pounds a month or if you wanna spend more time with your family then try leaving your office or workplace on time or even few minutes before by completing your work before time to make your closed ones feel special.

2.Be public
It is often said that if you share things with others then you achieve some calmness and moral support psychologically even if no one actually lends you.Try discussing with your friends and closed ones about what you want to do and trying to achieve and maybe they are able to help you achieve that in lesser amount of time.Also as you have declared in p[public,the very thought of not being able to do haunts you and you tend to get the things done much faster than usual.

3.Your first step
When your car engine starts it takes a lot of energy to start but then gets rolling easily.Likewise it is always difficult to take that initial step towards achieving the goals that you have set.Thinking in your mind is one thing and being able to start working on it is something else.So try and be bold and confident and move towards resolution that one step closer.

4.Small steps to success
Setting short term goals to reach your destination sometimes is a very good idea.You know that you achieve only a specific amount in that time limit and hence you are confident of doing the things better and achieving more that what is required.Do not lose heart even if you underachieve but keep at it.

5.Pen down your activity
It is another great thing to add in your lifestyle.By noting down things that you have done and the ones to be achieved is best way to remember the goals that you have set and move that much closer to your destination.

6.Make buddies
Sometimes when you under achieve and get frustrated,you need buddies to share your feelings that you cannot with your family.It makes you feel that much more lighter from inside and gives you the encouragement to once again step up and move ahead even after the defeat.

7.Celebrate
Sometimes giving one credit for his accomplishment makes him feel more happy and the required encouragement to work even more harder.Similarly credit yourself and celebrate after achieving short term goals.

8.Accept reality
Human beings are not perfect and there is some failure round the corner.Be ready to accept that and move ahead in your life.Have a back up plan ready for yourself in case you fail with your current plan.It is always better to remain positive in your life.Some consecutive failures also come in some one's life and shakes him completely.But a true man rises from those ashes again and moves forward to become successful again.

So try to focus on what you have decided to do in your resolution and make appropriate strategies to work on it.Try using above tips as guidelines to turn your thought to reality and have a successful 2011.Happy new year to all.

OFFLINE BLOG PROMOTION STRATEGIES MYSTIFIED-- PART 3

2011-01-09T19:35:00.003+05:30

In this post I’ll be concluding my mini-series on the topic of offline blog promotion. Before you get into this last series of tips you might also want to check out Part 1 and Part 2

10. Workshops and Teaching Opportunities – this is something I experimented with in the early days of my blog (with some success). I noticed that my local library was advertising free community workshops in the evenings. The topics being covered were very diverse and ranged from a night for people wanting to visit Morocco (I remember that because at the time we were planning a trip), to a night on how to use email for seniors, to a night on parenting skills.

After attending the Moroccan travel evening I asked the librarian if they were looking for other workshops. She said yes and I booked myself in to run a night introducing people to how to use a digital camera. The night was attended by 50 people – all of whom went away with training materials with my blog’s URL all over them.

Similarly, many organizations like to feature speakers with expertise on different topics. Keep an eye open for these opportunities and while they might not always ‘pay’ you anything financially most will be willing to allow you to promote your blog.

11. Advertise – the idea of advertising your blog online is not unfamiliar to many bloggers who dabble with Advertising on AdWords, StumbleUpon, Facebook, BlogAds etc – however I talked to one blogger recently who had been experimenting with advertising offline.

He had been taking out classified ads in local papers. He’d used a unique URL in these ads so he could track the conversion and had found that it had been well worth the time and money that he’d put into these campaigns.

12. Notice boards – another tactic that I saw recently in a local cafe was to put up notices in public places. Many cafes, libraries, shops and community centers allow people to advertise services and events on notice boards – why not put up something about your blog? This of course will probably work best for blogs with a local focus – but if you target the places right you could also appeal to certain demographics.

13. Talk About It – many people like to keep their blog’s private from friends and family. However those that know you best could well be your best evangelists for your blog! Don’t go on about it all of the time but unless you’re giving away family secrets and blogging about the conversations you have with your best friends – let those around you know about your blog!

These were some good points we had to keep in mind because of increasing competition and I hope you also benefit from them.

OFFLINE BLOG PROMOTION STRATEGIES MYSTIFIED-- PART 2

2011-01-07T18:53:00.004+05:30

In this post I discuss techniques 5-9 for offline blog promotion strategies.You can read 1-4 from part 1.

5. Go Postal

One morning a good blogger went to his PO Box to find that inside it was a rather large parcel. Inside was two things – a book and a T-shirt. He didn't know the name of the person who sent them to him but on the accompanying business card and note was the name and URL of a blog which he checked out later on that day.

Promoting yourself to other bloggers can be effective but many of them are being ‘pitched’ with ideas all day everyday. Sometimes to break the ‘virtual’ zombie like state that these pitches can leave people in it can be effective to send them something physical.

This need not be expensive things (although they could be). Over the last year I’ve been sent quite a few things including T-shirts, hats, books, ipod shuffles, electronic picture frames, birthday cards (many), memory cards, letters, USB memory sticks, trophies (for awards), food, diet supplements…. etc.

6. Mainstream Media Exposure

In the same way that you as a blogger are often left scratching your head wondering what topics to cover on your blog, mainstream media outlets (TV, Radio, newspapers, magazines) are always on the lookout for story ideas to cover.

Why not pitch them with a story idea about you and your blog?

This doesn’t always work but I’m always surprised by just how many of my own ‘pitches’ to mainstream media have worked.

The key with this is to give an angle for the media outlet to work with. Don’t just contact them saying that you’d like them to write about your blog – contact them with something that is story worthy. This takes a little work and at times creativity – but put your mind to work and see what you find.

Don’t just pitch big media outlets – put feelers out to local, national and international ones. When you get a nibble, develop a relationship with the journalist so that if a future story idea comes to mind you can develop that contact.

Sometimes these relationships can even develop into ongoing relationships. I’ve seen a few bloggers negotiate regular columns or ‘expert spots’ on radio. Similarly once you get known to journalists they begin to seek you out for quotes on stories.

7. Internet Cafes

I met one blogger a year back who had a blog with a very local focus. He negotiated deals with three local internet cafes in his area to make his blog the home page on all of the computers. In return for this he gave them some free advertising on his blog.

In a similar way the blogger made a similar deal with the local library who also made his blog the home page of their public internet computers.

This worked well for him because he had a local focus but it could work for blogs of all shapes and sizes.

8. T-shirts

Getting T-shirts printed up that promote your blog can be useful in a number of ways. For starters and as mentioned already, wearing a T-shirt can can reinforce your brand (and promote it) at conferences or meetups. You’ll be amazed at the conversations that wearing a T-shirt with your name and URL can open up.

Secondly, giving T-shirts away to readers can also have an impact both on them and their networks. I saw this at SXSW earlier in the year when I spied one of my readers wearing a ProBlogger T-shirt. He told me that he’d had a lot of people come up to him as a result of seeing the T-shirt.

9. Offline Publications

Many bloggers are protective about allowing their content to be republished but I feel that good bloggers should give it a go. One such incident that made me a loyal reader of a blog is that a person someday asked a good friend of mine to publish his articles in his monthly magazine on upcoming trends in bollywood and new faces.He decided to let them publish that for free that post.Many of whom decided to check out the source of the post became loyal readers of the blog

Magazines and newspapers are often on the look out for people to submit articles to them and will usually give a byline as part of their payment for the article. You’ve got the content just sitting there on your blog, why not submit some of it to an offline media outlet?

Stay tuned for one last post on the topic of offline blog promotion which will include 4 more of my strategies plus 7 from my readers.

OFFLINE BLOG PROMOTION STRATEGIES MYSTIFIED-- PART 1

2011-01-06T19:42:00.003+05:30

Its possible to promote one's blog offline.To do that follow the following suggested steps carefully

1. Conferences and Conventions

One of the first times I learned about the power in attending conferences was in 2009. I had no idea what to expect and had little time to prepare but decided to head up and see what I could learn.On arrival I wasn't expecting much but quickly found that the convention center was literally packed with opportunities on many levels, including finding new readers for my blog. Everyone at that convention was there because they had an interest in photography – so it made sense for me to position myself at this real life event.

Interestingly there was one other photography site represented at the event. I got chatting to them at one point and we marveled at how few of our competitors were there and how we’d struck gold by attending.

If there is a conference that relates to your topic that you have the ability to attend, do everything in your power to get there. When there, be bold, have something to promote your site (cards for starters), have something to say about your site (an elevator pitch), make friends and get them to introduce you to their contacts and be ready to make the most of every opportunity that might arise.

2. Business Cards

This is perhaps one of the more obvious tips that I’ll give today but a business card is essential if you’re going to do offline promotions. They are great for conferences, meetups, promoting to friends etc.

One thing I’ve learned about business cards is that if you can make them stand out in some way you can really grab people’s attention and open up doors to talk about yourself and your blog.Make sure your card has not only your contact details but where people can connect with you online (email, blog URL (and name), twitter etc).Get plenty of cards printed up and give them out freely.

3. Blogger Meet ups

Is there a local network of bloggers in your area? If so, make sure you connect with them and attend their events.Each time I’ve attended a blogger meetup I’ve come away with lots of great new contacts and potential promoters of my blogs. The great thing about bloggers is that they have readers already and if you can find ways to promote what each other does you can really see your readership grow.

Of course finding readers with a similar topic to yours is best – but even promoting across different niches can at times work if you find natural ways to do so.

4. Stickers

A couple of years ago I saw the power of stickers to promote a blog. One blogger showed up at the meet up (I don’t remember who they were) and instead of giving business cards gave out stickers.

Of course as the night progressed the stickers ended up being ’stuck’ on people. In fact during the night the stickers became one of the ‘features’ of the night. They appeared in loads of photos and even got mentioned in blog reviews of the evening.

In my next two posts I want to continue the focus upon offline blog promotion and will share another 9 techniques from my blog promotion tool belt as well as a number of tips from other bloggers. Stay tuned for part 2 and 3 of this series.

5 New Trends In Blogging

2011-01-05T18:07:00.003+05:30

After seeing an outburst in 2010, 2011 is going to be nothing different.People are diving in the blogging ocean like anything.But what lies ahead and what re the new emerging trends in blogging.This is what this post discusses about.The five new trends that are most prevalent in blogging right now and holds the key in the future are

Multi-Author Blogs
Multi-Topic Blogs
Blogging through social networking
Blogs interlinks with other sites
Indirect Monetization through various modes

Its a trend that is observed after visiting many sites.You have a query or a good suggestion then shout out loud in the comment section.

HOW TO DEVELOP AND NURTURE YOUR BLOG

2011-01-04T19:11:00.002+05:30

Its sometimes a great downer for anyone who writes his post for others and has no one to read and comment on.But all great things start from the scratch and all good blogs were having little to none in followers and readers when they started as we are now.But one's effort never goes in vain and it is just a matter of time before your hard work pays off and you do get readers coming to your blog.

The best thing that any beginner can do is to find out the best blogs which are having similar content or are in the same niche.Try following and commenting on their blog posts to have their attention on your side.This is certainly obtained after you comment on their blogs regularly.Also you need to join some forums where you can find the same kind of people over there and participate actively in the discussion.This does mean that you have be very precise and honest in commenting so that you are adding some value to your blog and not just spamming to get readers commenting on your blog.

To keep readers come back to your blog again and again you have to keep providing them something interesting and fresh almost every time.You find that so many well developed and popular blogs are in the same category but still enjoy fair share of readers.Thus being able to serve something interesting and relatively fresh content regularly is something that helps you to have a long term readership from people that re already following your blog along with the new ones.

It is sometimes interesting to find out that your blog has low readership or it is because of what you post on your blog.People sometimes get confused on what to write on their blog when they initially start.Most of the blogs on which personal views are expressed do not get much appreciation as not everyone has the ability to bind people up with their words,the mesmerising expressions and suitable use of sentences and figure of speech.

We always want to write something that comes naturally from the heart and also that creates a bit of enjoyment for your own self.When things are written for the right reasons and in the good frame of mind, the content is always appreciated by many.If an article or the blog is for sole purpose of money making then people do realise it who visit your blog and you do not get the popularity that you expect yourself to achieve in a certain amount of time.

So try to be full of positive and never say die attitude when you turn to blogging and share goodwill and set up a good example of human nature from your blogging style.This is the best way to develop and nurture your blog as I see it.

HOW TO ARRANGE BLOG POSTS ON YOUR SITE EFFECTIVELY FOR READERS

2011-01-03T20:22:00.003+05:30

Although this post might seem irrelevant to my blog for some time as I am trying out dew things to get the blog in a better shape,If you have the posts arranged categorically correct on your site then you can have a variety of readers reading your particular section though one page only.This requires some initial planning but once you are ready then the blog seems excellent to you itself in the first place.Following are some ideas on how to get the tricks right for your blog.

1.Interlink to the earlier posts

This is an excellent way to help readers reach out to the other posts which you think can supplement readers on the entire topic which they are interested in.In a way this also helps in search engine optimization for your blog (particularly for that post).

2.Rookie area

If you have a particular section for the beginners in the blogging world,then it may add that little x-factor to your blog with targeted visitors approaching your blog.I am looking forward in getting this section of blog archive ready on my blog ready in near future.

3.Posting regularly on blogging basics

It is always important to revert back to basic stuff once in a while to get new readers on your blog plus keep your regular readers also interested.

4.Long term readership

Try having some guest post about basic blogging tips if you think you have had enough of those stuff by yourself.By this way you are developing long term readership as well as loyal friends for your site's future.

5.Advanced section

If you think that there is something special that is required to be conveyed for readers who are in the blogging for some time now then try having a section for advanced steps in blogging for them to make go to that one step ahead.

Ideas mentioned above are possible through constant research about various topics, good amount of content on your blog archive and seriously good writing style.Its also a fact that you cannot keep everyone happy.So do not try and keep everyone happy and interested who comes to your blog because believe me you cannot.Try improving you blog each day with something to add to your blog every once in a while.

NEW WAYS TO INCREASE BLOG TRAFFIC THIS 2011

2011-01-01T21:34:00.004+05:30

It difficult to get this thing out of my mind."I want traffic badly!". But can you think out of box and try to find out new ways to have more visitors to your blog.Its 2011 now and people have to think out different ways to outsmart others to get the visitors to their blog.This post aims at discussing 5 critical points which can help you in this regard.

1.Use search engine potential to the fullest

A long time myth that is repeated on every blog that search engine traffic is what that matters more to every blogger.Getting his pages indexed on the first page of search engines is what that makes any blogger happy.One should try to utilise the search engine's potential to the fullest to have quality traffic to your blog.It is possible by having four things that is content, correct keywords,links and code.By having these things in proper place,one can achieve great results that others cannot.

2.Keep your eyes wide open

You have to be constantly aware of what is the hot topic in the blogging world and should not hesitate to join in the conversation and also include that in your blog.Sometimes people feel that the content is on every one's blog and hence they might not get the traffic through this content and neglect.but this is not the thing to be done and keep yourself at it.You can in fact generate some interlinks from that same topic.

3.Create some immediate buzz

Using social networking potential like twitter, facebook,delicious,digg and reditt you can have good people coming instantly to your blog.If your post is something that is not there on others site then you can receive immediate jump in visitors to you site.However this maybe short term but is important to decrease your alexa ranking.

4.Try linking

Including links in your post referring to other sites who have the similar content shows off the link love and your willingness to share for no return.That makes others to also return the favour automatically.It is a long term process and requires some patience but is sure to work.

5.Keep posting

Be regular and keep posting on your blog.Having more pages indexed with different topics and keywords are sure to land up your blog to the top on search engine results.

Views expressed here are mine and I do not hesitate in saying that above mentioned techniques may also backfire for some.But one who dares to achieve the results is the ultimate winner.

BETTER BUSINESS BLOGGING IN 2011

2010-12-31T18:44:00.005+05:30

‘Weblogs’ became popular in the mid 1990s as personal journals, maintained almost exclusively by individuals, containing daily details and passions that somehow retained their intimacy even as they were made visible to anyone with an Internet connection.

The dynamic nature and friendly style of blogs soon became popular with businesses as well,

and with good reason. Blogs gave a business opportunity to speak to the market directly, in its own voice and on its own terms. More importantly, blogs gave the market a chance to talk back and to share the conversation with like minded friends.

Webmasters soon noticed some unintended consequences. The evolving dialogues supported by business blogs frequently contained, in a rich organic environment, the search terms entered as queries by business prospects. When relevant sites linked back to the blog it further increased the likelihood that new customers would enter initially through the corporate blog.

Business blogging is now a practice that seems remarkably simple if done correctly. Individuals who actively manage and contribute to their own successful business blogs, is meant to help businesses increase blogging effectiveness in 2011. Successful results should be easy to see – the good business blog will reflect a business where everyone is united by their pride and excitement for their products and services. In short, exactly the type of place that people want to do business with.

With the right content and approach toward your readership, businesses can develop strong links that will help them build a solid reputation and foundation online. As content is consistently produced and comments are consistently reviewed and/or responded to, businesses are bound to find new readers who will check the site frequently for updates, get new search traffic, and establish visibility in their industry.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNT FROM GOOD BLOGS- 2010 A YEAR OF REVIEW

2010-12-30T18:35:00.003+05:30

It was some one's great inspiration which brought me to blogging.Now reading articles from many blogs on different topics gives me more and more ideas about what the writers are looking to have on their blog and what is extremely popular in a particular niche.Year 2010 was absolutely great showing me great ups and downs and how to fight with circumstances when they are not in your favor and win.This post is basically what I have understood from good bloggers history, how they faced challenges and are now numero uno in their niches respectively.

1.Strive to be Numero Uno

In the early 2000's there was little competition and hence who had considerable posts already enjoyed good amount of success.But it is not the same scenario now.There are many bloggers who started about 2-3 years back and now because of their hard work and smart techniques are successful bloggers in their niche.So this has made me even more tough and prepared for the challenges ahead in 2011.One really has to find how to find the weak link in any niche and attack on that point and get noticed.

2.Patience

One great thing that I noticed is that most of the people who recently came to the blogosphere were having one thing in mind and that is money.Seeing good bloggers earning 6 figure salary through their blogs attracted their attention.But what they are achieving right is a real hard work they put on for 5-6 years and now are reaping benefits.Nobody becomes successful in short time.Perseverance, Hard work and patience is required to survive here.I have seen many bloggers quitting just because they were not successful over a short period of time.

3.The best thing has to be on the home page every time

You should always realize that when people visit your blog you have your best up their every time.They should be able to read just the best stuff and should be able to understand what you wanted to convey through your post easily.

4.Thorough reading, communities and more

The more and more you read and comment on other sites, more you can get in return.Remember that your blog alone cannot be more successful.Having joined many communities and social networking sites makes your blog reach wider audiences and to the next level.

5.Goodwill

A successful bloggers always has the goodwill spread around with his name.You can never read anything negative or uncharacteristic about him.All these are qualities associated with a professional blogger.Hence e should also try and not go off rant in our writing or try and spread wrong information about others.Being able to accept one's shortcomings is what that makes a complete man.

I have already brought these qualities in my everyday life and trying to implement these quality everyday to be more successful.What do you learn after reading from my blog post? Keep your comments flowing in the comments section.

PROMOTE YOUR BLOG TO ADVERTISERS

2010-12-29T20:31:00.003+05:30

Simple methods sometimes give you the results that you always wanted to have for yourself.If you are really serious about making money online then the following tips should really help you to get more advertisers to your blog.

1.Banner

Just display Advertise on this blog banner to make people know that you are interested in promoting other sites on your blog.It is damn simple and important point and be sure to have link attached to the banner having access to your email address or the payment methods through which people might want to contact you.

2.Specific ads for your site

Be absolutely concerned about what type of ads if present are being displayed on your blog.This way you can create a good impression on the advertisers and can reap maximum benefits.

3.Try free promotions

Sometimes when your blog is not doing that well and you want more advertisers to purchase ads on your blog then it may be a bit of gamble to promote free ad campaign on your site for sometime.You can attract and encourage similar ads or competitor ads to purchase ads on your site.Things change in some amount of time so patience is the key.

4.Display statistics

Displaying statistics is another way to show off the popularity of our blog.Showing off unique monthly visitors and page rank/Alexa webrank might just do the trick.Another important thing is showing your twitter followers.A twitter ID with significant followers can really attract many advertisers.

5.Your blog design is crucial

Having a professional look ,superior content and good widget arrangement on your blog might just help more people recognize your seriousness and commitment towards your blog.Always post your majority posts in your Blog's niche to make advertisers believe you are the real deal.

I hope you would have understood these points and would try to inculcate these points in your blogging to improve yourself even more.

10 NEW WAYS TO FIND RSS READERS THIS 2011

2010-12-28T22:49:00.005+05:30

Its been a long time till I neglected the advantages of having RSS readers on my blog and hence didn't had a badge for RSS subscription also until just previous week.I have gone through many good sites and just found out these 10 good ways to attract new RSS readers to your blog this new year. Of course I am also looking forward to increase my RSS readers and implementation of the methods here imply to me more than anyone else.

1.Commenting is needed

For any blog to survive, comments on his blog post are extremely crucial in elevating the blog to the next level.The comments on others blog and that too legitimate and genuine related to the post is required to enable the author of those respective blogs to come and visit your blog and comment. More comments are always compelling and attract many more readers to subscribe to your blog post.

2.Post everyday

You should always try and post almost everyday so that readers are aware that you are really serious about blogging and hence they always look out for the new post and keep the subscription to your RSS feed running.

3.Put the RSS button on top

Its natural that the things that are on top are going to attract people more and grab their attention.So always try to put it on top of the blog in the sidebar to get more people subscribing your RSS feeds.

4.Allow your readers to subscribe by email

Usage of emails today is enormous and this is another unique way to have more people subscribe to your blog.There is very small amount of people paying attention to the RSS feed on the Internet daily so you have to try and innovate the things to keep your nose ahead.

5.Stay on your niche

Try following your niche regularly because people who follow you expect to get the posts in the category for which they come to your blog regularly or subscribe your feed.

6.Go for full RSS subscription

I get a touch disappointed when I see good bloggers providing partial feeds to the people.Readers want the entire content and not the excerpt.Otherwise they could have read it from other bloggers and not you.

7.Write post to promote RSS subscription

Like I am writing this post many good bloggers should also try and rewrite or mention the importance of RSS subscription.There might be some new bloggers who still do not know the importance and complete information about RSS subscription.

8.Replies

Sometimes some readers do email you after subscription and hence it is important to reply and solve their queries and keep them interested and attached to your blog.

9.Use RSS directories

Submitting your RSS feed to the RSS feed directories can surely help your RSS subscriber count to increase.Feedest.com, blogocular.com and others are a great help to your blog RSS feed exposure.

10.Caution

While the above mentioned ways can help you to attract readers to your blg you can create a sense of discontent and can make your readers to completely abandon your blog.Do not try to force your opinion and methods on others as people generally don't like it.

Over a period of time you will eventually see people subscribing to your blog and commenting on your posts as well.Be patient and let the content flow regularly on your blog.It will do wonders for you believe me.

How to Make Money Every Day

2010-12-27T22:41:00.002+05:30

This is one of my favorite (and one of the easiest) ways to make money on the Internet. Using this technique, I make money almost every day and you can too!

Many people want to make millions on the Internet. Although it is possible, most people make much, much less. However, there are millions of people who have much more realistic goals. They just want to make a little extra spending money each month. If that’s what you would like to do, you have come to the right place.

If you can write a 250 to 500-word article, you can make money every day, like I do. Using this technique, I make between $20 and $50 each month. I’ll admit, you won’t get rich using this method, but the extra money each and every month is very nice. I do this by submitting short

250 to 500 word articles to a number of revenue sharing sites.

A revenue sharing site is similar to a traditional article directory site with one major difference. Traditional article directories post advertisements along with the articles that people submit. Every time a visitor clicks on one of those ads, the site makes money. Revenue sharing sites also post ads along with the articles that people submit, but they share the income that they make from their advertising.

If you are going to submit articles anyway, why not submit to sites that are willing to give you some of the money that they earn. I submit articles to both traditional directories and revenue sharing directories.

You can submit the same article to many different directories. The way to maximize the amount of money that you make with revenue sharing sites is to submit articles frequently. The more articles you have on a revenue sharing site, the more money you will make. I try to submit at least one article every day.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

2010-12-25T18:28:00.004+05:30

The holiday season is on and I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a great upcoming 2011.May your life be filled with greatness and all your wishes come to true this new year.

Our blogging community is growing by the new so I wish many new bloggers become successful this new year and their life is full of riches.Enjoy!

ITS GOOD TO HOLD BACK YOUR KILLER POST BACK SOMETIMES

2010-12-23T20:35:00.003+05:30

Growing a readership is something that takes hard work and a little luck. Sure, sites like Digg and Reddit can greatly expand your readership overnight, but it’s really the way you craft your posts that will help the most with growing your blog. A bangin’ post is worth 10 mediocre ones any day. But unfortunately for most of us, in order to write a great post you have to be a… decent writer.

Becoming a better writer should be every blogger’s goal. Better writers can craft posts in a way that a) get their point across quicker and b) connect with the audience more effectively. No matter what your content, your audience will always benefit from better writing. And if your audience is happy, you’ll be happy too.

The darnedest thing about blog content is that you can have the most amazing post in the world, but if you can’t create mildly decent sentences with proper spelling and grammar, nobody’s going to listen to you

If you’re not a great writer yet, don’t stress. Improving your writing skills comes mostly from practice and reading other great writers. But I've found that the most effective way to improving my blogging has been to just let my posts sit. If I sleep on a post, odds are it will be much better than had I just hit “Publish”. You see, most of the blogging enjoyment comes after the writing is done.

Once you've stopped typing you've only just begun the writing process. Read it through, at least a couple times. Odds are each time you read it through, you’ll pick up on stuff that could be worded better, or explained more, or even taken out completely. Don’t be afraid to let something sit overnight, or even longer. Think of your post as like a cheese that just gets better with age.

You don’t want to let your posts sit too long though. At this point your fine cheese has turned a little too green. I wouldn't recommend letting your posts “percolate” more than a week. Some people can pull it off, but for me I lose interest in the original topic too quickly, and most of my original ideas are gone.

So when you start to craft your next post, let it sit for a bit and see what happens. I guarantee your quality of writing will increase. And if your blog’s quality increases, so will your readership.

A BAD CORPORATE PRESENTATION CAN ALSO TEACH SO MUCH ABOUT BLOGGING

2010-12-22T17:22:00.002+05:30

I was attending the corporate presentation for a big IT company having the induction presentation for its employees.Being such a reputed company my expectations were certainly high.But it is indeed interesting to know that our corporate lives also teach us so many good things for other professions and hobbies like blogging.

It was a great pleasure to be a part of the induction ceremony but the real fun started when the man started to give presentation about the company details, history, work culture ethics and other particulars.It was always my dream to be a part of the big organisation with such good ethos about its employees.But I was a bit disappointed after the presentation was over.The details were not clearly visible on the PowerPoint slides,too many unnecessary data present and skipping of slides.The speaker himself was not well prepared as it was evident the way he speaking in front of the large crowd with some nervousness.All in all things could have been much better if they really wanted to create a good impression in the minds of people joining the company on their first day.But this experience has certainly become a lesson as to how one should present himself to any reader or audience through his blog.

1.Good organisation

Even if the matter that you write is high class but you do not have the correct presentation then you might suffer badly even after having an extremely good content.Thus good organization is the first stepping stone to success.In case of my above example, I mentioned the disorganisation of content on the slides just took the interest out of the whole presentation.

2.Do not feed too much of information

Referring to my example, there were lots of data present on the slides that the readers were not able to digest easily.too much of facts and figures for a small topic is not needed really if you ask for my opinion.It just creates a bit of confusion in the readers regarding the inter relations of the facts.

3.Try explaining the background accurately and effectively

Even though you may feel that the same content is present on almost very site present in the same niche but still you should try and present a small descriptive background before you reach to the actual matter of the blog.This creates a good impression on the readers that you have in depth knowledge about what your writing and readers will keep coming to your blog.

4.Conclusion?

We have so many things happening around us that can be taken as a lesson,motivation and encouragement to do things better for yourself and for others.Please do not write indigestible stuffs for the audience or just fill up lines only for the sake of writing content.If your post has what those fast scanning eyes of the readers want then you have a fair share of readers to your blog.It is all these small things that make you a class apart from others.

WHY READERS UNSUBSCRIBE FROM RSS- A CONCERN?

2010-12-21T17:14:00.002+05:30

As a reader people always like to read things which are new to them and of course things which they can easily understand and interpret.The blogosphere is having thousands of writers joining it everyday and hence being able to produce a unique content is very difficult nowadays. Things are not the same now and similar content in each category and niche is being produced in huge numbers everyday.

People subscribe to one blog because they liked the unique content and expression on that blog.But if that uniqueness does not remain and the reader is getting same content from 10 different places then he has choose the best and leave 10 others.

Above explained scenario is the most prominent reason why more and more people nowadays are unsubscribing from even professional blogger sites as they are getting bombarded with almost the same content from everywhere. There has to be a way to to control this or most good bloggers will also loose their popularity soon.

One also has to think that how much difficult a writer's job has become.He has to produce an excellent quality content almost every time to keep readers on his blog intact.If you have any comments as to how one would solve this issue then please feel free to discuss in the comments section.

BE SMART!DEVELOP ATTRACTIVE CONTENT NOW

2010-12-20T18:34:00.002+05:30

When it comes to blogging it is all about timing, creativity, productivity of content on your blog and proper organization to be successful.

Blogging world is already having new writers everyday and hence having same content in the same niche just rewritten is not a coincidence now.There is a hell lot of competition over the blogosphere and that makes the job that much more difficult for any writer to have an appealing article on his blog.

The subscribers that you have for your blog also tend to go away as they almost receive the same thing from different people and the net result is that you are on the losing side.In this wide spread spectrum of niche and articles,only that person who is smart and ready to do things with innovation can survive.The main thing to understand is that how you relate all the post to your blog's central idea.When the readers reads the same content in a different way altogether with better understanding makes the readers attract to the blog more and more as the reader knows that the writer has some great potential to serve the content in a manner in which he can make anyone understand very easily.

Doing research on any topic before writing it down always helps any writer.Deep understanding about the topic makes the content more meaningful and presentable to the readers.Clear expression of thought makes that post stands out from the rest.Do not try and make readers search for the words or sentence explanation and scratch their heads for things that they cannot understand.This requires proper presentation and not creating just an abstract of a content.Helping readers understand each things clearly will make them come again and again to your blog.

Thus by serving your content fresh and hot with some different spice always helps to change the taste of the readers. They might even appreciate your writing style and you will in turn benefit with time.

COOL WAYS TO ATTRACT READERS THIS NEW YEAR----------- PART 4

2010-12-19T18:43:00.003+05:30

This is the final installment in the series on how to attract readers to your blog this new year.You can always refer to Part 1, Part 2 and part3 for more details.

19. Guest Bloggers

Try inviting others to write for your blog and thus improve the content over your blog.As more people come to know that you have other good writers writing for your blog then you can always have more people coming to your blog for quality content.

20. Get Links from Other Blogs

Getting mentioned on other sites and blogs in the same niche, I think, has been the best way to get a readership who keeps returning to a blog. Make contact with other bloggers in yoru niche via comments, email, AIM, skype, homing pigeons – whatever.

21. Newsletters

The Zookoda newsletter provides nice spikes and people tend to forward the newsletter to their friends.

22. Social Networks

Submit your story to Digg and reddit and, regardless of whether it makes the front page or not, you get 50-100 free hits. The easiest way to generate quick exposure. Failing that, comment frequently on blogs that you like. With any luck, the blog author will want to find out more about you, follow the link to your blog, and perhaps write a post referencing one of your posts.

23. Pitch Your Posts

I view other bloggers as a PR pros view journalists working in traditional media. I reach out to bloggers using tactics successfully employed in the world of professional media relations. For instance, I “pitch” specific posts that they might find adds value to topics they are writing about. I also send email introducing them to my blog, but only if there’s a good fit between my blog and theirs. The key is to be very selective in approaching the “media gatekeeper”–just as successful and smart media relations people do.

I hope you would have liked and learned important tricks to attract visitors to your site in 2011.Happy new year and merry Christmas.

O.Indigo plateau.Here your rival will battle with his 5 tough pokemons but you should be able to defeat him fairly easily if you have all type pokemons with you.Defeat him and heal your pokemons and purchase some items before going in as the battlers you are going to face now will surely test your knowledge about type battles and test your abilities to the fore.You have to defeat all four to get to the champion( a bit harsh) and you cannot heal yourself at the poke centre.Anyways you can use the healing potions as I advised you and move towards the chamion lance, The dragon Master.His pokmons are L44 gyrados,two Lv47 dragonite,Lv 46 charizard(my favorite and not available in thsi game for anyone to raise), Lv 46 Aerodactyl and a Lv 50 Dragonite.Use all your skills that you have learned through out the game to win this fight as it is very intense.My advice is to have 2-3 rock type pokemons to tackle these dragons and win over eventually.

P. Game over----No

After defeating the champion if you think game is over then no.you can move ahead and fill your pokedex and collect more 8 badges from the new Cities that you encounter once you restart the game after saving.So enjoy the adventures and fill your pokedex to become the ultimate trainer.

COOL WAYS TO ATTRACT READERS THIS NEW YEAR----------- PART 3

2010-12-18T16:41:00.003+05:30

This is the third installment in the series.I hope you would have taken advantage of the ideas expressed in the Part 1 and Part 2 of this series already.

13. Offline Promotion

Talk to friends, family and coworkers about them… you’d be surprised how much the traditional way of “networking” really does work.

14. Search Engine Optimization

Properly optimizing my blog has been a big boost to my readership. Once I figured out how to play around with SEO I started getting a regular 25-35% of my hits from Google.

15. Quality Content

This is already stressed by me many a times and is the word of almost all the bloggers.Posting only quality content.. obviously! Better posts are discussed more, increasing both the number of comments and references in other blogs.

16. Blog Carnivals

submitting posts to Blog Carnivals also generates traffic.Strange Isn't it?

17. Memes

Yeah, a meme. Bloggers want to know about bloggers, not just the business aspect of it but the *person* writing the blog. Reading a quick list of “getting to know me” type tidbits gives me instant inside information on whether or not I will become a regular visitor. Some participants have used it solely to gain business, but frankly I think that turns people away. People are interested in people first, and what they do second. It works.

18. Frequent Posting

I also try to post frequently. I find that the more I post, the more readers I have. The less comments, but the more readers.

I hope you would have got the central idea about what is important to attract readers.In my next post I will rap up the series and give final 5 tips to have readers coming to your blog so wait and enjoy.

COOL WAYS TO ATTRACT READERS THIS NEW YEAR----------- PART 2

2010-12-17T17:03:00.002+05:30

This is the second part in series to attract new readers to your blog.You can refer to the part 1 for more details.

7. Give Away Free Stuff

I’ve had some success with giving away free stuff, like free templates for WordPress. It doesn’t give me lot of new readers, because my blog is written in Norwegian, but the templates give lots and lots of new links to the blog, giving it a much better pagerank in Google, which in turn should mean more readers from search-engines.

8. Be Opinionated

Be opinionated, but encourage opposing viewpoints in the comments. Opinionated makes you interesting – encouraging other perspectives makes you essential.

9. Ask Questions of Other Bloggers

Ask questions of other moderately successful bloggers and try to network. If you shoot too high, you’ll often get blown off because these people have so much stuff to read and deal with.

10.Use Trackbacks

Sending highly creative and penetrating trackbacks about a blogger’s original post.

11.Advertise

Buy advertising space on related websites.

12. Educate Readers about RSS

With the most recent blog I launched I created a page in WordPress called Feeds which not only has the RSS icon on it but a description of what a “feed” is and what are some of the most common ways to subscribe and use feeds, mostly pulled from a CC article.

Refer to the next part so as to find out more new ways to attract new readers this 2011.

COOL WAYS TO ATTRACT READERS THIS NEW YEAR----------- PART 1

2010-12-16T18:47:00.002+05:30

Some good comments on blog posts sometimes helps even the other readers to learn a lot of things to improve themselves.I ran into chain of comments reacting to the topic of how to attract more blog readers.This post certainly describes their point of views in having done everything to keep new readers to come to their blog.

1. Comment on Related Blogs

Commenting on related blogs is probably the most effective strategy early on in the process and responding to comments when people leave them on your blog (this encourages them to keep coming back).I visit other blogs in my niche, add them to my feed and participate in the discussion on their blogs via the comments. Writing interesting comments often gets people to click through to see your site.

2. Join Forums

I’ve found that one very quick way to infuse readers to a new blog is to be active in discussion forums related to your blog topic. Locate posts that ask for help with something you are familiar with and share your experience.

3.Write Effective Post Titles

Simple and to the point. The title should create an instant urge to read the entire post… But of course it should be related to the topic of your blog.

4. Interviews

One example being to interview fellow bloggers who are in the same niche as me. This has gone down well, and has been great for both myself and the interviewee as traffic flows between us.

5. Persist

Persistence is key. After starting up a new blog last month and letting go of another this month, I notice that traffic (quality traffic) doesn't happen over night. On my last site, I think it took 6 months before ASK.com found me.

6.Connect with Local Bloggers

The other thing I have been doing just recently is connecting up with other bloggers in my city and the neighboring towns. We've got something of a link exchange going and a nice side-effect to this is that I/we have discovered that there are quite a few more bloggers and/or website authors in the area than ever expected.

In my nest post I will reveal the other new methods that would be useful in 2011 for you all to attract new readers to your blog.

MOVE AHEAD WITH DIGG AND STUMBLEUPON

2010-12-15T20:25:00.003+05:30

If you really want more readers and subscribers to your blog everyday then Digg and Stumbleupon are the way to go.Following are the important tips that most professional bloggers follow to have their content on the front page of Digg and stumbleupon.

1.Your Flair is important

Everyday many new topics rise up the pyramid to be on the front page of Digg and StumbleUpon.The competition you can say is quite fierce to have your content on the top.Mostly the articles having informative content like"how to be a" blah blah blah or any important new related to business blogging or Internet catches the attention of the readers.So use your writing style and flair wisely to come up with the appropriate topic and content.

2.Choose your category

Since the recent change in these sites, the categories and topics have broadened over here and hence there is a wide range of topics to choose from for your published article.The liking for any specific category changes over a period of time but still Technology ,Internet , Business Blogging are the hot topics over the entire year.

3.Start Digging yourself first

A strong tip to be successful in these sites is to first satrt republishing and likng others content.Follow other writers and share theri content for sometime and build your friends and foloowers over the site.After this you will automatically see more and more republishing of your own content.Try to give more and expect less,then only you can move further.

4.Install widgets and Buttons for easy sharing

One thing that sometimes bloggers ignore is that they often do not include the Digg and Stumbleupon buttons for automatic sharing of your content on the site.This maybe due loading of the page takes a bit longer due to these buttons but still its worthwhile having them.

5.Quality content is desired

You should always try and publish articles which you think are the best and readers will appreciate your work.Try writing one or two of them at least once a week and then publish them over Digg and StumbleUpon and you will find out that more and more people are liking your blog and pots.Its always better to have good content advertised rather losing readers because of mediocre content.This is what the professional bloggers practice and hence are successful than others.

I have some strong gut feeling that I will have my articles in the front page of these site soon.What do you think?

BLOGGING BECOMES SUCCESSFUL WITH 4 C'S

2010-12-14T17:39:00.004+05:30

A large survey of good sites and reading their content is sometimes so much essential when you do not have much to write for your own.Buzzing through the topics and closely observing key points mentioned in the posts you can derive several ideas which can be converted into a series of posts.The organised fashion of writing and maintaining the blog is what separates the best from the other rookies.

The following four C's are so crucial that if you have all of them then your blogging success is almost certain i n the near future.These 4 C's are:

1.Content

Success always depends on some crucial factors and for any blogger to succeed in the blogosphere, the content is the most important element.You can refer to my post on how to create good content for more details.What people write from their heart is most liked by people all round the world and not scraps being written only for money.Content with good expression and presentation still rules.I was not a good writer right since my school days but slowly over the past 15 months I have improved a lot in my writing skills and grammar but their is still a lot of improvement to be done so that my posts are just great for anyone to read.I guess that a successful writer is always capable of holding people through his way of writing style and use of words.Now you would surely understand how important good content is for any blog.

2.Consistency

By consistency I want to say that you have to consistent in your posting.A good blog blooms better over a period of time only when a writer has put in the hard work to update his blog every day.Its not a compulsion that you have to churn out many posts every day and this will never happen also.You have to decide what re you comfortable with and accordingly pace yourself to be consistent.Remember that Search engines also like to index those blogs which are updated every day.

3.Community

Social networking is the order of the year for 2010 and will be the same for 2011 unless something new appears to be more appealing to the readers and b;loggers.Try raising your voice and your blog through these community sites and I ma sure that even those sites which were not able to generate readers for 10-12 even after having good amount of content on their blog have started generating good traffic through by the use of Technorati, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Stumble Upon and many other such sites.

Also important thing to consider is that link building should also be performed by bloggers to earn good page rank and Search Engine Optimization for their sites.Many bloggers initially miss the trick by going only for content on their blog and later on suffer for lack of back links to their sites and hence their page rank is lower although they have good enough alexa web rank.

4.Comments

Its always give and then take relationship in blogging.Even if you have to give out more than what you take ,it should not matter for you as long as you enjoy it.I have seen good bloggers always going to the site not known much and still reading their ideas and commenting on their posts to improve their writing style.So it has to be understood that you should once again start commenting on any blog that you like and not just not on the popular ones.I think keeping these strong commenting habits will surely help to give you long term profit.

I guess these were by far the broad factors on which success of any blog depends.There might be more that one would like to say so do not hesitate and try to shell out some precious words of yours.

ENJOY BLOGGING.REMAIN HEALTHY

2010-12-13T18:37:00.001+05:30

The blogging sphere is growing day by day and there are millions of new bloggers joining every week.The new dynamic way of making money online has made people give focus to this medium of money making.But all good things come with some drawbacks.

The blogging habit can sometimes be hazardous to health.Surprised? maybe not.This post is mainly to discuss the effects of blogging on our health.So read through and learn how to live happier and healthier while blogging.

Some may think that it is actually not.If somebody is blogging only for half an hour or an hour then maybe the case is not so serious but who does this professionally for long hours and till late night hours has adverse effects on the health. Following are the few effects on the health due to long hours devoted to blogging.

1.Eye strain

Long hours spent in front of the computer can cause irritation and sore eyes consistently and also can make you wear spectacles and lenses.The eyesight depletion has been a major issue for professional bloggers.

2.Muscular pain

Prolonged muscular pain in the neck, shoulder and back strain has been common problems for people who sit in front of the computer for long hours.

3.Disturbed life cycle

Working for long hours till late night and not able to sleep for long hours in the night causes extreme disaster for your body.Frequent headaches are a common issue for people.

If you feel that you are also affected by these symptoms then maybe you can follow below mentioned ways to stay healthier.

1.Do not concentrate too much!

It is always advised that you should not concentrate too much on the computer screen for too long and should take some time in looking at other places and not on computer continuously.You should also blink faster while looking on the screen.

2.Stretch yourself

In between stand up and stretch yourself.While working for long hours always try this to avoid neck and shoulder pain.Also it gives your fingers the required amount of rest after working continuously for long hours.

3.Avoid too much of caffeine

When you work for long hours you do take tea or coffee multiple times to stay awake and have good concentration at work.But excess sugar will not do good for and may result in sugar imbalance of your body.

4.Sleeping is essential

You should try to make yourself healthier by sleeping at least 7 hours in the night and going to bed by 11-12'0 clock in the night and not much later.This will enable you to have a better body cycle and good health.

As a young guy I always prefer to sleep by 11'0 clock in the night and have a good 8 hour sleep.Above things are very much the things that everyone should follow to be healthy.Happy blogging.

HOW TO GET YOUR SITE INDEXED AGAIN IN SEARCH ENGINES AFTER BEING BANNED

2010-12-12T18:54:00.003+05:30

I visited a good site which mentioned how the writer indexed his site again in the google search engine after his site was previously banned due to spamming and his copied content and later he fought through all the troubles and he got his site listed in the search engines.This post is just an excerpt of what he has done and is surely a good method of getting your site listed even if you do not have your site listed yet.

If your site has some copied content or some republished article from other sites,then try and writing few good legitimate posts(atleast 10-15 in a row and not copying content) and then try to submit the site into google and other search engines.

I have observed carefully that if the botz of search engines find out that your site is regularly updated plus the most recent content is legitimate, the gets automatically indexed.This method sure works and has worked even for me so it will for you as well.

I guess you would realise that this thing is really simple but is actually not.It takes some months time and hence some patience is really required in this process to go over the line.

HOW TO CREATE A KILLER SALES PAGE FOR YOUR PRODUCT

2010-12-11T12:37:00.006+05:30

As an online merchant, your efforts should not stop after building your product, then writing a sales letter to sell it and implementing a marketing campaign to direct traffic to your website. You should also pay attention to the conversion rate of your sales page in real time, so you would know how good your product sells. Creating a good product is not all. You need to constantly tweak your product's sales page and how it does its real job to catch the attention of the visitor and sell your product. By measuring a conversion rate of your sales page, you are able to get a lot of valuable information. It can provide you with a lot of benefits including the following:

1.Identifying inefficiencies in layout, web design, copywriting, and other website components

Often people judge a website by how it looks before actually looking for what it offers. A site that is difficult to navigate or is full of crappy content will most likely turn off any potential customers. A sales page conversion rate analysis can give you details on what pages the links directed the customers to.

2.Maximize marketing expenditures

By using information provided in the sales page conversion rate analysis you can optimize the value of your resources. You can focus your resources on aspects of your marketing campaign that need beefing up while improving parts that are already working for you. This way, you can prevent wasting money on strategies that do not work and keywords that do not perform.

3.Increase customer sales and acquisition

Since the conversion rate analysis of your sales page can clue you in on what works and what doesn't, you can expect increase in sales and revenues once the inefficiencies have been addressed and the marketing strategies, refocused.

EFFECTIVE BUSINESS BLOG DESIGNS --- PART 3

2010-12-11T12:17:00.008+05:30

This is the final part in the series effective business blog redesign.You can refer back to part 1 and part2 of the series for more details. Remember this is a republished article originally written by Cameron Chapman.

5. Make Provisions for Other Content

While most business blogs still focus primarily on text it’s important to make provisions for rich multimedia content. You never know when you might want to expand your blog to include podcasts, slide shows or video content. Even something as simple as including images in a post is sometimes overlooked in the initial blog design. Think about the types of content that are commonly incorporated into blog posts and then think about how you can best serve those kinds of content within the design. Even things like making sure your main content column is wide enough to properly display images or video shouldn't be overlooked.

6. Make the blog a Reflection of Your Company’s Values and Personality

The design of your blog should reflect your company values and corporate culture. A company with a traditional take on things should reflect that in their blog design. A company that’s hip and modern should have a hip and modern blog design.

Besides these important points some other key factors to be kept in mind while thinking of blog redesign are:

Paginate comments if you regularly get more than 10-20 comments on your posts.
Separate your comments from your trackbacks (incoming links to blog posts from other website).
Include a gravatar image for your commenters.

Blog designers, however talented, cannot change your corporate DNA. Work with them towards a presentation that is inviting, open and flexible while accurately representing the values and style of your business.

EFFECTIVE BUSINESS BLOG DESIGNS --- PART 2

2010-12-11T12:12:00.002+05:30

This is the second post post in the series "effective blog designs".In the previous post I have discussed the merits of Typography and readability.Here in this post I am going to discuss about nest two important facts:

3. Establish a Hierarchy of Site Elements

There’s a definite hierarchy of design and content elements in any blog design. You just need to make sure that the hierarchy your design establishes is the one you intended. In other words, make sure that the most important parts of your design and content are most prominently displayed.In most business blogs the two most important elements are going to be the main content and the header, which should include branding for the company. Make sure that when you look at the design of you blog that those are the two elements that stand out among all the others. Make sure, too, that hierarchy within elements makes sense. Your blog post titles, for example, should stand out over any subheadings contained within the posts. Elements within your sidebar should be arranged in a manner that makes sense in terms of usability (for example, the navigation of your blog should appear above any blogroll links you choose to incorporate).

4. Don’t Forget Comment Design!

Almost every business blog wants to foster communication and discussion with their visitors. After all, an engaged readership is more likely to come back on a regular basis and more likely to be loyal to your company.The comment form on your blog should be easy to use and make it apparent which fields are required (most often a name, email address, and the comment itself). The comments should be arranged and formatted in a way that clearly separates each comment. Make sure that the typography—the size and contrast in particular—make it easy to read the comments. You’ll also want to decide whether you want your comments to appear in chronological order or in a threaded manner (where replies appear under the comment being replied to). If you want to foster conversation among commenters, then the latter option will almost certainly work better. If you mostly want your commenters to converse with your authors, then the former might work better. Differentiate your author comments, too, to make it easier for readers to see an author’s responses to other commenters. Of course, if your authors rarely or never comment (which isn't a good thing), this becomes irrelevant.

The final part in this series is due next when another two important facts about successful business blog redesign will be discussed.

EFFECTIVE BUSINESS BLOG DESIGNS---- PART 1

2010-12-10T19:04:00.005+05:30

This is a republished post originally written by Cameron Chapman

The design of your business blog has a huge impact on how it is perceived by your visitors. A great design instills trust, makes you more credible and invites your readers to participate. A poor design can make your blog and your company look unprofessional.

Just as with regular website design, there are certain best practices you should keep in mind when working on the design of your blog. The best practices of regular website design still apply, of course, but there are also important blog specific considerations:

1. Don’t Insist on Your Blog Design Matching Your Website Design Perfectly

So many business blogs try to shoehorn a blog into their existing website design. That’s fine if your website has a text-centric design that’s similar to a blog design to begin with. But many great business websites don’t resemble blogs at all. In those cases, it’s important for your blog design to echo your website design, but it doesn't need to match it perfectly. Your blog design should instead repeat elements like the graphics or color scheme, and should incorporate similar typography.

2.Focus on Typography and Readability

Since blogs mostly revolve around text content, it’s important that your design makes that content easily readable. This means using a font that’s suitable for reading onscreen, as well as having proper contrast and a font that’s large enough.As a general rule, dark text on a light background is more readable than light text on a dark background. Just look at white text on a black screen for a few minutes and then look at a light surface. You’ll see black bands super-imposed on your vision for up to a few minutes. The same effect doesn't happen with a light

background and dark text. You also want to limit the number of fonts used on your blog. Ideally, use one or at most two fonts in your design. Instead of using more than two fonts use multiple weights and styles in the fonts you choose to add diversity to your typography.

Next part will reveal the next 2 important details to watch out for a successful blog redesign.

THE GROWING INFLUENCE OF BLOGS

2010-12-09T19:39:00.005+05:30

Blogs have existed for more than 10 years and have become respectable news outlets, vehicles of change within organizations and communications tools for product announcements and updates. They also provide an opportunity to humanize a company to its market.

Every year the powerful blog search engine Technorati publishes a “State of the Blogosphere” that surveys bloggers of all backgrounds for information and trends about the state of the blogging affairs. The latest report has compelling data on the growing impact of business blogging. In fact, Technorati has tracked more than 133 million blogs, an indication by itself that blogging’s impact is not about to diminish anytime soon.

In the State of the Blogosphere, Technorati found that:

71% of bloggers are blogging to speak their minds
72% of bloggers want to share their expertise
61% of bloggers do so to make money or for business purposes
53% of professional bloggers aim to attract new clients

Almost all bloggers have found that blogs have made them better known in their industry as a result of maintaining and updating their blogs.The argument for blogging is all around us. We may know a blogger or two. We may know a dozen or a hundred bloggers. And among those we know, we find that many are doing so for business purposes. Whether it is the hobbyist who just wants to make a few cents off Google AdSense or the enterprise social media company that has elected to launch a blog to showcase its expertise in expansive applications, blogging is an affordable way for individuals and companies alike to become a respected voice in an increasingly competitive online environment.

What do blogs do for your business? Like all other means of social media promotion, blogs can:

Establish thought leadership, which is especially evident by the findings of the Technorati State of the Blogosphere report.
Increase traffic to websites, since bloggers can optimize for keywords using search engine optimization techniques that will help customers find the business or product that they need.
Help build links to corporate web sites, which will help people find your business in online searches.
Build brand awareness, which gets your business known globally or wherever you are looking to be found.

Blogs have done something else too. In the last few years, we’ve seen companies take blogs to make businesses human again. Giving blogs a human face – which should almost be a prerequisite for blogs (an avatar and personal stories are highly encouraged!) – allows readers know that they’re doing business with someone they trust: people like them.

ADVANTAGES OF REGULARLY UPDATING YOUR WEBSITE

2010-12-08T19:39:00.004+05:30

Updating information frequently to a website can have a significant increase in the quantity of visitors it receives. Renowned search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN prefer sites that are habitually added with more content.

The benefits of regularly updating your website are as under:

1.Long tail Search Traffic

When a website has regular content it helps in receiving more precise "long tail" keyword searches from search engines that cannot be attracted through regular SEO.

2. Faster indexing

Most search engines catalog news and blog sites faster than normal websites there fore regular updates on websites will determine more frequent traffic and indexed faster by search engine spiders.

3.Generates discussion

Blogs, articles and news often receive comments from interested customers which in turn often creates discussion and user contribution on the website. Comments also become worthy as free content and are often indexed and ranked by search engines.

4. Solicits enquiries

Informative, articulate articles about business, products or services will promote readers to find out about services. This has been a tried and tested method of sales marketing.

5. Promotes community

Comments, inquires on any website encourages interaction between visitors and is often responsible for communities on websites. Visitors will keep coming back for discussion via the website.

6. Repeat visits

When a website has fresh, regular and remarkable content it encourages users to keep coming back. When a website is left inactive there will be no regular traffic.

7. Subscribers

Informative, appealing content on a website can promote subscription to updates via RSS. This makes sure that any new information will mean that potential people are immediately informed.

8. Internal link strength

Regular content will contain links to specific pages which in turn is beneficial to websites internal link strength.

USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO FIND NEW READERS FOR YOUR BLOG - PART 2

2010-12-08T19:32:00.004+05:30

This is the part 2 in the series of finding new readers through social media.You can refer back to part 1 for more details.

6. Say thank you for shares

This will encourage your community to share your content more often and also shows the rest of your community that your content is share-worthy. To get the most bang for your buck on Twitter, consider re-tweeting their share with your thank you. That way your followers who missed your original share will have another opportunity to click on your link.

7. Use social sharing sites outside of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

Consider building a presence on ‘bookmarking’ specialists Digg, StumbleUpon Delicious or Redditt. The key to any of these sites is that you have to be an active participant in the network to see any real traffic from it. Simply creating a profile will not suffice. You will need to build your community there, connect with people and share content outside of your own, often. Look for vertical specific sites where people in your industry are networking.

8. Come up with creative ways to re-share on Twitter

We all know that different people are on Twitter at any given time of day, so simply sharing your post once probably isn’t the most effective. Find ways to re-share it without just re-posting the same content. Add some sort of “in case you missed it” so that those who didn’t miss it don’t become annoyed. I’d also make sure you tweeted plenty of non-self

serving content in between.

9. Call people out

If your post includes someone in your industry or another brand, let them know. If it is favorable they are likely to share it with their social networks (or through their own blogs). You can add a trackback to their site so that they will get a pingback about your post, but also try the more direct route of just reaching out to them on their networks and sharing your post with them. Many businesses have installed automated social media monitoring services. If you mention a brand or business in your posts there is a better chance that it will show up on their dashboards if you can include their website, Twitter ID or Facebook page. Hopefully they will Tweet a link to the post or create a share to their ‘likes’ on Facebook.

In the end, there is no way to guarantee that each post you write will get a lot of social buzz or a lot of traffic, but you won’t find out if you wait for someone else to get the ball rolling. It is up to the blogger to offer shareable material, reach out to their networks and then encourage the community to share.

THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF WEBSITE REDESIGN

2010-12-08T19:25:00.003+05:30

This is the rewritten article published by Richard James originally.

So it's time for a redesign of your website, and you want to do it in a way that will cause the least disruption of service to your customers and will also maintain your brand identity.

There are a number of different reasons why a business may want to redesign their website. Often a company has grown so much that the original website design no longer serves the needs of their customers.

Or, the original website may have been thrown together hastily just to establish a website presence, like putting up a sign in front of your brick and mortar store. Now, the time has come to re-evaluate your website and see how well it's really serving and informing your customers, and how well it’s advertising your company’s brand.

When you are redesigning your website, don't rush. And don’t skimp.

You don't want to have to go back and keep tweaking things and adding that one element that you forgot, or taking out a bunch of elements that you now realize are distracting and irrelevant.

And you don't want to pay so little for your web design services that you end up with a poorly designed, hard to navigate website.

When you are getting ready to embark on a website redesign, make sure that you communicate your needs to the website designer. You will want to discuss the scope of the project, how many pages you will need, what type of information that you want to convey, what type of audience you will be speaking to - conservative, creative, younger, older, students, race car fans... this will have a huge impact on the look of your site.

You will want to decide if you are going to have a static website or if you are going to update it regularly with industry news or company news, and if so, who is going to do the updating - you or the web designer?

And finally, here are some factors to consider in your redesign, that you will want to discuss with the design company that you hire:

Do you need to completely change the look of your website? You may want to do so if your website is poorly designed and not pleasing to the eye, and if it does not contain any logos or color schemes that are consistent with your company's overall brand. If your company does use a logo and a specific color theme, and those are already in use on your site, at the very least you will want to have your web designer incorporate those into your new design.

How SEO friendly is your website? Many website designers use images where they could be using text. Search engines can not "read" images so important phrases that would help to make your site easier to find on the internet - say, "Colorado cosmetic dentists" - will be unreadable to the search engines. So make sure that you hire a website designer who understands search engine optimization as well as design.

Look over your current website to determine what works, what should be kept, and what needs to go. First, put yourself in the mind of a new potential customer who has never been to your website before and knows little or nothing about your services. Does the top portion of the home page, the first area that a potential customer sees, clearly communicate what your company does? The Jacoby and Myers website, for instance, says "Jacoby & Myers Law Offices" - and underneath that is the tagline, "America’s Most Familiar Law Firm". Potential new clients immediately know what services the company provides and they also know the company’s USP - unique selling proposition.

Now look at the website as if you were a regular customer returning to the site. Is it easy for your customer to find what they need? Is it easy for them to place a new order or contact customer service, or do they need to search for the links that will allow them to do so?

USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO FIND NEW READERS FOR YOUR BLOG - PART 1

2010-12-08T16:09:00.004+05:30

The most awesome and informative post is only as good as the number of relevant people who see it. Promoting your content is a key element for blog success. If you share your content strategically it will keep your faithful readers returning often and can expand your audience exponentially. Here are a few best practices for getting shared and conversing through social media.

1. Write content that is share-worthy

No one is going to pass along a post that is mediocre. Make sure that you give your readers valuable news and/or perspectives. In short, give them content that they are proud to share and to be associated with.

2. Continuously grow your networks

The sad truth is that as your contacts grow their networks they may lose sight of you. In order to make sure that you always have fresh people paying attention go out and proactively follow/friend request new people who are interested in the content you are sharing.

3. Craft your update carefully -

Avoid cliche words and common sales-pitch terms. Also try alerting them to whom this content is for. People are busy and not everything you share is relevant to everyone.

4. Encourage comments

Posts with a lively comment trail are good for a number of reasons. From a social media perspective you are more likely to get shares from commenters who now feel a part of the post.Comments also confirm to all readers that the post is interesting and worth noting, making them feel better about sharing it with their own networks.

5. Spread out your shares and avoid syncing your networks

If you have a presence on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, don’t syndicate your update across all sites. Chances are that you have people connected to you on more than one platform, and if they see the same content, presented in the same way, they are likely to see you as spammy. Instead craft an update that speaks to the nature of the platform and spread out your sharing across a few hour time-span. (Don’t wait too long though, because even the best

posts can become old fast).

The second part in this series will talk about the other techniques and practices to follow to attract more visitors to your blog.

WHAT TO FOCUS WHILE LOOKING FOR SEO

2010-12-07T19:01:00.003+05:30

Here are some important SEO tips for bloggers to follow:

1. Focus on unique content only. Even if you are approached by a PR person with the “ready-made” press release or product review for you to “just copy and paste”, take a few minutes to retell the contents of the release with your own words and express your own opinion. This will make your blog voice stronger in the community, your style more recognizable by readers and your content more valuable for search bots. Remember, Google only values unique content!

2. Link to your previously published posts. Search bots discover and index your posts by following links. Thus, before publishing a post, make sure to drill down to your previously published articles, find relevant ones and link to them from within the new content. This will also encourage readers to browse to your older posts and motivate them to stay on your blog (Take advantage of “Related posts” and interlinking plugins to automated the process but don’t forget to link to your posts manually from within the post content as well).

3. Linking to posts on other blogs is another smart idea. Linking is the foundation of your online connections.Bloggers are always eager to know who links to them. They will most surely discover your track backs, go to your website, browse, comment… and also link back to you! So link generously and get discovered (Wordpress plugins like Zemanta and Arkayne could be a great help here as well).

4. Never link to suspicious sites. While linking in general is highly appreciated, linking to “bad neighborhoods” may get you into trouble. What is a “bad neighborhood”? Just a couple of months spent online will teach you. Those are various health- or gambling-related resources which are likely to send a spam email to your inbox. Be careful who you link to.

5. Make sure that your pages are lightweight. Google has started to incorporate the page load speed into its algorithm but that’s not the only reason to care about your page size. Neither people nor search bots will be able to go through your website in full if each page loads terribly slowly. Besides, taking care of your blog load speed isn’t that hard: choose a good reliable hosting provider, make sure your images and files you upload are less than 100K and install some caching plugin (especially if you have a lot of pages already).

SEO is about making your blog easy to go through, visible and useful enough so that even a search bot can understand your main points and find it usable enough to rank high in search results. At the same time you’ll be producing content that people can value and link to. You don’t need to pretend being good – you can achieve much more by actually being good.

Blogging with Search Engines in Mind ----- Part 2

2010-12-06T17:54:00.003+05:30

This part about discussing the Meta description and the URL structure.

2. Meta Description

Officially, the Meta Description is not taken into account for ranking websites. But it is used to generate the search snippet (a couple of lines you see below the linked part on the search results page). Meta description should thus be attention-grabbing and concise. They are a great opportunity to exert control on the text that searchers will see when your posts come up in queries.

3. URL Structure

Clear, “readable” URL structure will help with both the usability and SEO of your blog:

• URLs containing keywords will appear in search results (with keywords in bold).

• Search engines take keywords in the URL into account to rank web pages in search results.

What bloggers should know:

• Avoid very long URLs: no more than 3-5 words in your URL (for Wordpress bloggers: use “post slug” option to customize your URLs);

• Avoid uppercase in URLS: URL is case sensitive – meaning that if by any reason (your choice or CMS) you stick to a an upper-case version, remember that this can cause a few issues: people are most likely to link to the standard lower case one and you might both lose link juice and suffer from duplicate content issues.Worst case, interested users may get a 404-Page Not Found at the worst possible time.

• Avoid dates in URLs (unless your posts are time sensitive).

Blogging with Search Engines in Mind ----- Part 1

2010-12-05T17:14:00.003+05:30

Search Engine Optimization (commonly referred to as SEO) has its roots in efforts by webmasters to make their websites easy to access and crawl by search engines. The concept has been evolving into something much bigger and broader than simply making websites “crawlable” by the machines. SEO has started to cover usability issues, conversion tactics, backlink acquisition and more. Most SEO experts, including Google engineers, agree that the blog is an area that holds great leverage in all aspects of SEO.

Remember: search bots only “see” text and keywords, they are straightforward and, well, they are machines.Your primary task is to make your blog easy to understand and interpret even for those robots. Three basics:

• Create a clear navigation and naturally link to your old content and posts.

• Create natural keyword prominence: have your important words in the “prominent” places.

• Make your pages lightweight for people and bots to load easily.

SEO Terms that all bloggers should know:

1. Title Tag

The title of each post is of crucial importance. Not only will it grab your readers’ attention and prompt them to read further, the page title is also the most “prominent” place to showcase your important keywords:

• Title tags are displayed in search results (this is the linked part of Google search engine listing)

• Title tags are used by search bots to “understand” the main topic of the page

Make sure to create catchy and attention-grabbing titles AND include some post-specific details in them. Helpful details might include the product you are reviewing, the person you are interviewing, the place you are describing, or the market you are covering. These “details” can help to get your post to appear in relevant searches.

Some best practices and rules:

• All title tags throughout the site should be unique

• Title tags should be preferably no longer than 70 characters (including spaces)

• Page titles should be specific and contain your main keyword(s) – to help Googlebot understand what the page is about.

Part 2 of this series will be about discussing Meta description and URL structure.

33. Have a point of view. If your posts are the same as everyone else's posts, who cares? Be different and get noticed.

26. Use numbers in your title. I found out that most popular posts almost always included a number in them (i.e. 9 steps, 4 types, etc.).

27. Comment on other blogs. It's hard to be a blogger if you don't share. Show your expertise on other blogs and leave valuable feedback.

around.

13. Submit your site to Google. Just in case your site isn't getting picked up.

35 DIFFERENT WAYS TO MARKET YOUR BLOG - PART 1

2010-11-30T20:40:00.003+05:30

This is a very important post on how to successfully market your blog over the Internet to have more visitors to your blog.

Following are the important 10 ways to successfully market your blog:

1.Promote it on your website

It's surprising the number of small and large companies

that actually have a blog but it's not promoted anywhere on the main site. The blog is capable of hosting important discussions with your market. Welcome them to it on your homepage.

2. Include the blog URL in all email signatures. All employees are part of your marketing team today. Every time they send an email, it's a marketing opportunity.

3. Blog on Print. Put your blog address on your business cards, direct mail and print advertising.

4. Like Yourself. Many business owners forget to tell employees to ‘like’ their own sites on Facebook and Follow on Twitter. Be sure employees know that you’d love if they shared relevant blog posts with their networks as well.

5. Leverage Twitter Hash tags. When you promote your blog via Twitter, use relevant hashtags (i.e., #marketing) that prospects may follow.

6. Share your blog posts through your Facebook page.

7. Post to your LinkedIn status.

8. Submit to directories.Using various submission directories generate back links for your blog.

9. Include links to your blogs in any press releases. By using services such as PR Newswire, Marketwire or PR Web, you can get your blog link placed in sites like Google, Yahoo! and sometimes hundreds of other sites.

10. Post regularly. The more you blog, the more opportunity you have to be found. Consistency is key.

All the writer over the Internet are gifted in certain areas which they show off through their blog.People are extremely lucky now a days to have blog as a medium of expression to the entire world.My post discusses 7 great things associated with blogging as follows:

1.Bloggers are mostly critical thinkers

Almost all of the serious bloggers over the Internet are great thinkers as they plan their way into moving forward with their blogging style.More over even if somebody does not visit your blog,you still think over some critical topics and read about the content from various other sources to finally present the excerpt from all the knowledge you have accumulated.More over you do think on the topic seriously before writing the post down.

2.Blogging helps in developing new ideas

In your blogging after critical thinking on various topics, you can start developing new ideas and business models and blogging ideas for promoting your blog and also find out ways of pushing your blog ahead of others.Writing a blog,commenting on other blogs and giving feedback for the comments on your own blog is the ideal catalyst for new ideas and innovation.

Sometimes you ponder over some ideas and do not fell 100% confident about it.Thus we are able to tinker some ideas and do the thinks as we want to do.Over a good span of time we learn our shortcomings and also develop our vision in moving your blog forward to the next level.

4.Blogging is about building Social relationships

Its just not about writing content and publishing it online or just your mindset of earning money online.We comment on other blogs and interact with different kinds of people all over the world and understand the way they live and express themselves and we get a hell lot of things to learn from them.Some of the good online friends of mine are excellent writers and I have learned from them so much and they have been the inspiration for me to start this blog.

5.Blogging is money

Most bloggers have emerged in recent days in search of new means by which they can earn money online.Not only this tremendous increase in the ad publishing network ,websites,online jobs,affiliates and paid blog posting one can now consider blogging as a full time business with minimal or absolutely no investment.Its an investment which can really bear fruit once you have sufficient amount of content and good page rank as well as alexa ranking for your blog.I have decided to come up with new topics on online marketing strategies, business techniques and proper advertorials to help selling of the product over the Internet.

6.Blogging is done to share

We write articles to share the information to all the readers spread across the globe.Its not only about just commenting and leaving feedback and just promoting your blog but sharing important topics and information that most people are looking for.Blogging in a way makes you learn the technique of sharing things with others in a proper manner and you advance socially.

People have full time work in the firms mostly and after the hectic schedules they can really release their tension and chill out through blogging.Its proven that if you somehow remove the frustration that is developing within you,it makes you a lot happier after few moments of time.Do realize that blogging is done for enjoyment and it is never a forced decision.If you force your way into anything then you will quickly have your mindset developed against that work.So enjoy what you do and try to make most of any opportunity that you get.

Somehow I believe that I have found out a new passion within myself to blog about and have also started enjoying this thing a lot more that what i used to before.I expect that people do take blogging seriously and enjoy while writing on any topic so that their style becomes fantastic to read about.

PART 6 - RECRUIT NEW WRITERS

2010-11-28T22:34:00.003+05:30

This the last part of the series how to generate huge amount of content for your blog.We would now discuss how recruiting additional writers will help generating good content for your blog.

Many successful bloggers all over the world have linked up with the other bloggers to write content for them or review or short promotional content for their site.If you can somehow get somebody to write a post for you when you are in need and you can give back by writing one for him or her so that its a post-for-post relationship.This might also help you if you are publishing a content of similar niche that the other writer is also about to publish on his blog.You can link back to his blog post mentioning him and he can do the same and in way your website gets better exposure.

Sometimes you have to be confident of whatever you do.So think differently to do the things how successful people do.Thank you for following all the series installments.I hope we all are going to benefit and become better bloggers in the near future.

PART 5 - BREAK DOWN POSTS

2010-11-28T18:34:00.002+05:30

This the 5th post in my series of generating huge quantities of content for your blog.This post is to discuss the various effects of breaking down posts on your blog.

It is very important to understand that if you are writing on a very important topic and the topic is about business or on blogging or online marketing strategies(barring personal topics and issues) then it is certainly advisable to have a good quality post with reasonably long content.I have seen many good writers write so much long on one topic for which they could have broken down into two or three posts very easily.Writing very long posts does not help readers at all as they have to read for a long time just that same post and that is certainly not a good thing for any blogger.As a writer anyone wants a reader to read most of the content that is recently updated on your blog as well as from the archives that the reader is interested in.You don't want the reader to get exhausted in one and leave the blog.

By breaking your posts into smaller size posts we can have the readers come again for the full series of posts and getting the entire information in short bursts.A long one doesn't really compel a reader to read it full unless it is really special.The breaking down method will also get the reader to come down again and again to your site over the next few months if your post is really the hot topic over the Internet.

Another plus point is that if you are spreading over your content into a series of posts then you might have variety of visitors all over the globe coming to your blog if you do some linking with other blogs and use social networking sites to promote the posts.

A huge bonus that you get is that your google page rank will increase with more targeted visitors to your blogs.Thus your page will be displayed higher in the google search for the same keyword as compared to the other site.

As of now I can confirm you that this idea is 100% relevant and more practical rather that personal opinion expressed by me.In my next post I will look forward to complete the last part in the series by discussing the merits and perils of recruiting others to write for your blog.

PART 4 - START A NEW BLOG

2010-11-26T20:44:00.003+05:30

This is the 4th post in the series and its gonna tell you how to generate good amount of content for your blog.You can check out the other ones of setting new targets and visiting new sites and articles.

After extensive reading from different sites I have come to a conclusion that the most successful web blogs have extremely high linking with other sites and mostly highly targeted topics for attracting and making readers visit the site again and again( for example onlinemoneywithgoogleadsense).But even after getting yourself updated on the niche you follow on your blog,you can just write limited content everyday for your blog.

The good thing to understand is that although a niche blog is better and gets a good google page rank with indexed pages,You still have a limited scope to write about.If you observe good successful bloggers, once they felt that their blog ran out of scope to accumulate all the topics that we want to write then it is very important to start a new blog.

Starting a new blog means that if you feel that you are short of ideas in one niche then you can still continue to write in your new area of interest on your new blog and thus keep on generating content for your blog.

I had certainly reached my burn out phase where I used to write 3-4 posts a day ,then reached a saturation and took a break for a little while and now again I have started to blog regularly .Of course I am thinking of having another blog so that I have a new domain to work with and keep writing regularly so that I improve a period of time.

In my next post I am going to stress about breaking down a large post which would rather not impress most readers into small posts to have certain impact on all audience visiting your site.

PART 3 - VISITING NEW SITES AND ARTICLES

2010-11-25T19:39:00.002+05:30

Its often worth to have good amount of ideas in your mind well before you decide to write down content for your blog.How does one get more ideas and knowledge? Well its pretty simple that more knowledge and ideas will come only if you have exposure to different topics around the Internet.Always having a knack of keeping yourself updated with the hottest topic to be is very essential.

Exploring different sites and blog that come around your niche of blogging then its not quite difficult to have new ideas and post about them from your perspective.You can find more topics more easily by using special blog tools and social networking sites like Technorati,Mybloglog,Blogcatalog etc.;The relative articles of interest from the chosen blogger sites end up giving you that required edge to continue posting good amount of content on your site.

Also, it is important to note down that if you really find the article interesting and inspiring then you can yourself rewrite that article providing the reference of the original writer by linking to that post.In this way the sentiments of the original writer is not hurt and you also get a mention from the original writer.

I guess you would have understood the fact about visiting new sites and articles to get a hang of the new topics and shell out huge content on your blog.In my next part I would try discussing the plus point of starting an alternate new blog.

PART 2 -SETTING AND ACHIEVING TARGETS

2010-11-24T19:43:00.002+05:30

This part aims at understanding the facts about setting and achieving targets for yourself to generate huge quantities of posts for your blog.

The first thing that you must possess is patience or else you will find it difficult in the blogging arena.Good bloggers always possess lots of time and patience to devote themselves in writing the posts.Here we can understand that good amount of investment is required called as time in blogging.

So you decide your post frequency target that you would be able to achieve .This is the basis of selecting the target for posting on your blog.

Secondly, after setting the target you have to try and achieve the target.This is possible only if you have certain discipline in your life.If you maintain the discipline even for 6 months time,I am pretty sure that you will end up getting quite a number of posts on your blog.For example if you post 5 per day then at the end of the 6months you would have 183 x 5=915 posts on your blog which is huge.this would mean that you have substantial amount of pages indexed in the search engines.

So setting the target and achieving it with patience and discipline is the only way to go if you want to have giant strides in the field of blogging.In the next part I would discuss about how visiting new articles and new sites help to generate even more content on your blog.

PART 1 - CREATE HUGE QUANTITIES OF CONTENT FOR YOUR BLOG -AN INTRODUCTION

2010-11-23T20:38:00.005+05:30

Almost all the bloggers who start blogging have the intent of increasing their blog readership to generate income.Not just quality matters but you should also have the relative quantity as well to to move ahead.

Even if you just land up on a good blog talking about increasing blog traffic you will invariable find out that the main motto expressed is "quality content".So what is really a quality content.The right manner in which it can be put forward is that ideas expressed in relatively concise form.But that doesn't mean that you should only end up having a post of around 100 -150 words.It doesn't sport good reactions from any reader.Important thing to note here is that whenever you write the blog posts it should normally be around 250-300 words.A more better representative post with quality and quantity is something that is desirable.

Having huge quantities of posts ready on your blog means that there are more number of ways in which there can be different reader entry.The more posts you have with appropriate keywords(this is damn important) then you will find more number of people coming to your site through search engines.It will always please any blogger if for any search on the Internet on blogging resources at least of one of his web page is always listed.

Another important reason to have high quantities of content on your blog is that search engines like google index more of your pages and consider your site legitimate and not a money making site.Because of this your page rank increases quite a bit.

So I hope you have understood the good points about having good quantity of content as well as quality.In my next part of this series I will talk about how to set targets and strive to achieve them.

HOW TO GET HUGE AMOUNT OF CONTENT FOR YOUR BLOG

2010-11-22T20:44:00.009+05:30

I have visited many sites and and studied their posts very carefully to understand the unique ways to have good amount of content ready for your blog.

The unique ways are going to be discussed in detail so they all form part of this series of posts.Following are the posts of the upcoming 6 part series

1.Create huge quantities of content for your blog - An introduction

2.Setting and achieving targets

3.Visiting new sites and new articles

4.Start a new blog

BLOG POSTS - HOW MUCH IS THEIR PRICE

2010-11-21T19:10:00.002+05:30

In a private survey that I have conducted my self the posts on my brother's blog are worth about 5000$.Astonishing isn't it? A hard work of just about 15 months can be so much pricier is harder to believe even for me.

But it is important to know that the same topic written by different bloggers have a different price tag on them.Not just this the posts written by the same blogger have different importance and price altogether.This is so because not all posts are as appealing as the other one does.So also if you understand some post are really written to attract audiences for a short burst to the site.

I am going to make myself and you understand the following important points so that you can have a better outing in your next blog post

1.Some blog posts are not good enough to have the earning potential.

2.Some bloggers write posts on personal issues and human nature which are popular in the long run unlike the posts written about making money online strategy which gets obsolete in the next 2-3 months due to changing internet traffic.

3.How much traffic your blog generates is also a big factor in deciding your popularity and earning potential.Alas I am through a rough patch right now but soon the things will get better I hope so.

4.The clicking of ads on certain blog posts as compared to others,page loads, unique visitor count all these things eventually rule a blog earnings.

If you do have a better idea and strategy to discuss about how much is your blog posts worth then feel free to discuss with me in my comment section.

NEWBIES HELP YOURSELF GUYS

2010-11-20T21:25:00.004+05:30

Although my brother started this thing on his own blog and has become successful through his blog,I wanted to try and bring out the true story in front of everyone about blogging and never wanted to just keep on posting for the sake of money and never will do it.

I would like to discuss through this post some key points that the new bloggers should have in mind to have a good launch to their blogging.So just read on the following key points to help yourself.

1.Read and study a lot on blogging.

The blogging world is so vast as of now that you see thousands of new bloggers almost everyday.So what if others are there you are there to stand out in the crowd of millions.Before starting your blog read and understand what style of blogging do you wanna start with.Whether it is about personal or the make money online theme or technology blog or the pet blog or something else that is there in your mind try to read out blogs of the theme that you want to move forward to and study them carefully.That will give you a very good idea of how to start your blog afresh from them.

2.Start simple

Initially when you start just be as simple as you can and try to touch simpler topics to launch your blog.Getting advanced in one day will not do.Try to settle yourself down and then move into the more complex matter and topics.

3.Regular posting

Once you start the blog try to be as regular in your posting as possible to keep the interest going and so also the number of posts that increase day by day.A good amount of posts on a blog ensure that you have most topics covered and visitors also invariably land on your blog through search engines and other places if you use the keywords and tags properly.

4.Low on confidence?

If you do not feel comfortable about some topic that is there in your mind then its better to rather think about it for some more time rather that producing a sub standard post and publishing it on the main page.

5.Write your posts in the points and list form

A good organised post in point form will always please the eye.

6.Join Social networking communities and promote your blog better

A number of places have come up over the years to help new bloggers to promote their blog and posts over a wide range of readers.Joining twitter, facebook (networked blogs) , entrecard, digg , stumble upon, blogfrog like places to name a few will surely be of much help to you.

7.Your post should be of some quality

I have stressed this point earlier as well that when you want to post about any topic then you should definitely try and think over it before you write down the post.Please keep in mind that the language used should be simple, should not abuse anyone through your blog nor praise too much and should not be negatively centred on the topic.

8.Keep your article safe

Always try and maintain your article in some form as if some problems occur then you should have the post ready again for publishing.I always write my posts in text document and then publish it online .

Another good thing to understand is that when you end do have a good message attached to the post or some discussion type or questions asked to the readers to attract more comments and other activities.Hope you would have understood these points carefully.

CONTROL BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF POSTS FOR YOUR BLOG

2010-11-19T17:24:00.001+05:30

Its a great thing to have good amount of readers coming to your blog regularly after some time.But there is no point in attracting large crowd for sometime and then becoming reader less again.Have you ever thought about this many new bloggers attempt this gimmick and then end up getting to the darker side of the tunnel.

I want to highlight the issue of many bloggers starting the series like"101 ways to......" kind of stuff to get readers to their blog immediately.this may help them short term but they will ultimately lose out the battle once readers become irritated and do not get what they want and simply some say that the writer has completely lost it.Also the writer tries to write and cover so much that when he wants to start fresh on new topics he feels that he has nothing left as new to write .This is when the decline of a blog starts and then finally the blogger almost loses it completely.

So control yourself and please do not try to copy what others do to attract immediate attention and lose it in the long run.Be smart and keep the posts rolling in regularly.

RANDOM VS PLANNED BLOGGING

2010-11-18T18:01:00.001+05:30

Blogging can be quiet a fun when it comes to describing your personal experiences and memories in form of words with no one to hear in front of you.The confidence level is generally much more while writing than narrating the same incident and usually you can make up for the shortcomings in your language and expressions that might not be possible in person. OK all this crap is aside and we are here to discuss another good issue on blogging whats called the Random vs planned blogging.

Random vs Planned ?

Hey its always good if you can get good enough ideas on the spot and can amuse people with your stuff or can create awesome content on the spot for writing the blog post.Such random thing is what excites me and if you have read my posts you will find that I do it all randomly so that readers also do not get bored.But what about readers who came to read specific content from your previous posts which you were posting and suddenly you stopped that and started to write on something other.That just irritates your readers and they do not feel like coming to your blog because you didn't had the content they wanted from you at that moment of time.think about it.Randomness is always OK to create freshness for your blog but then you cannot figure out planned things.

I would rather put it this way that once you started to think about something that is really hot in the Internet and you wanted to have a piece of that on your blog as well then try to write entirely on that topic covering all good points and the not so good points in depth and in flow so that the readers who are waiting to read the required content will not feel disappointed.This is what a planned blogging is.

While if you see the other way round then maybe if your blog is not so much popular and you do not have many readers to your blog and want them to have a look at your blog then may be try and publish the articles on your site which are really damn good and the hot topic over the week.Keep changing the topics after a week so that the freshness is maintained and you have different type of readers attracted to your blog.

So what type of blogging style do you prefer? Do you think out of the box and try have good amount of posts ready well in advance or are you the instant writing person? Keep those comments flowing in so that all can benefit.

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PAID BLOG POST WRITER.

2010-11-15T13:57:00.003+05:30

Wham! I have seen many writers wanting to earn money through paid blog post apply for every topic that is available even if they do not have any sort of idea for that topic.The following few crucial note points might just help you out to be a better paid post writer and in a way bring more opportunities for your blog.

1.Be active

Try and be quick to grab opportunities available which are of your interest or on which you have written much previously since there are many writers available on the Internet and you might just miss out a good one.But do not rush into something that you do not know very well or else you might end up writing a low grade content your future opportunities from that site might take a backseat.

2.Be disciplined and follow instructions

Try and understand the need of the advertiser who wants to write a site or product review or a promotional post on your blog.Try to use good, catchy and simple language without grammatical errors to avoid any rejection from the advertiser as nobody likes to get his hard work rejected from someone.Also try to put the specified links in a manner that it is in the highlighted portion of your post and easily seen.I guess this the best way to get a post accepted quickly from the advertiser.

3.Sell yourself better

I have seen many people apply for the paid post sites with not so good content at their homepage and the archive link that they give.Please understand that you are selling your talent to the others and hence if you really want to have a better rate of having your site accepted and having a good inflow of paid reviews then the quality of your post as well as the language has to spot on and extremely good.

4.Be to the point

Most advertisers want you to have a post written in about 200 words.I have seen many writers start of in weird fashion writing stuff that they should not in the starting paragraph.once you do this it kills the interest and advertiser most probably rejects your post.Please formulate a pattern and then start writing the post so that the flow is there and you end up having a good quality content for the advertiser and it will in turn help you get more opportunities in the future from the same advertiser.

5.Be different

Its your ability that would make you stand out from the rest of others who are also there in the race.By following above points you will improve but it is also the job of a person to elevate himself and his blog above the level so that he stands out from the rest in the crowd and demands instant attention.

BE CAREFUL BEFORE MOVING YOUR BLOG OVER NEW DOMAIN

2010-09-01T15:39:00.003+05:30

A common pattern is seen over the Internet by me that those bloggers who start churning out some good money look to transfer their blog from free domain to their own.Something that all of you who are thinking to move away from free or the original domain should keep in mind the fact that though your current blog may not offer you the entire features that you want to be displayed on your blog but still it is the place where people till now have com to read your content.

Also by changing the domain you will end up losing the pagerank as well as the web ranking for the blog that you originally had it for your blog.Its then again a hard work to get the blog up and running again and getting good traffic to your site.Most of the times , the change of domain name usually backfires and spoils all your hard work.

So what are you going to do if such thing occurs with you and you lose all your search engine stats.To avoid such a dreadful state you may follow following steps:

1.Stick to your own domain

If you believe me I would seriously advise you to stick with what you are right now.Many big bloggers have understood this fact and sticking to free domain with which they have started like blogger,wordpress or typepad.If you still do not feel like having a free domain then you can purchase a domain with same name or redirect that your original blog.Its as simple as it is.

2.Follow the 301 redirection address to every page from your new blog

This is a good method that allows even the Google bot to track your pages with the 301 redirection address.Although a week delay occurs but the crawling of your pages and their indexing takes place and you might end up having all the pages indexed in about three months.

Hope you would have liked the suggestion here.Any new tips are eagerly awaited.

2010 IS THE YEAR FOR MAKING MONEY ONLINE

2010-08-30T14:04:00.004+05:30

As compared to the previous year of 2009 which was a complete disaster for many ,2010 has come as a blessing in disguise.I am going to provide some more light on the opportunities that you might already know about making money online.

As you all might know that any blogger who wants to earn money online should concentrate on generating his online income through multiple sources so as to if anyone or some fail someday then other still keep pouring in.Also it is worth while mentioning that new bloggers and also bloggers who have been there for few months immediately do not start generating income instantly.Its a hard work you require to be put in for about attest an year and a half or so to promote your blog to every place that you can to attract readers worldwide.

Its amazing to see that this year has been the year where people are earning at least 10 % more than what they normally used to .Although Google AdSense has declined many bloggers worldwide but still the other ad companies have opened their arms for new publishers and have helped everyone in generating income even though meagre but still yes people have started earning.Following are the main Income streams that one might look at

1.Advertisement sites.

As I said earlier that Google adsense might have rejected many but other ad companies like Chitika,Bidvertiser,Nuffnang Ads(in the east and Australia) are the other giants helping out bloggers to add the revenue aspect to their blog readership.Also not forgetting to mention Adgitize another good place for bloggers and publishers.

2.Sponsored post sites

Hey this is generally the best source of online income if you really have a good blog.The range can be anywhere between 5$ to 1000$ at least for good bloggers per post on their blogs.Good sites that I know are Review ME,Blogsvertise,Sponsored posts,Smorty and Social Spark.

3.Affiliate marketing

This is another good source of income if you are really good at selling things from your websites.The giant Amazon is the best place to go for affiliate marketing.Others like Ebay,Clickshare, Commmision Junction are also good enough.

4.Its not only from your blog that you earn money

Ahh yes its correct that you not just earn money from your blog now.As I have said that you have new opportunities in this year specially from Twitter.Places like RegGage, Mylikes,Sponsored tweets can end up in making you earn a lot more that your blogs income.

5.Merchandising

Some professional bloggers now have started to even merchandising their brand name to people in various forms like T-shirts etc.I am not naming them but this is possible only if people are really respecting you and you yourself have a great going in the blogosphere.

As the time is passing by even more new sites are opening up which are increasing the number of sources to earn money online .If you have any more ideas and places to earn money online then feel free to suggest me so that even I can earn a bit more.

WHAT'S YOUR GOAL?

2010-08-29T17:10:00.003+05:30

First let me congratulate everyone who feels like blogging and speaking out their views through a blog.Hey everyone wants readers to come and read their content so that some useful comment can really help them out in improving their writing style.People are so much engrossed in just writing posts that they sometimes forget what they would do once they get exhausted or if they do not get what they want in the set amount of time.Its just not writing about writing 20 -30 posts a day and then getting exhausted the entire upcoming week.Its essentially important for them who are not the full time bloggers and spend few essential hours from their rest time.

So I wanna ask you all that what is your goal?How much do you think you can write everyday so that you are very regular at updating your blog with the posts and good quality content and not just the bull shit of hi and hello and putting a good quote to impress people around.

A good friend of mine said that maybe I should try and write atleast 3 blog posts a day .Whoa boy that means atleast 100 posts in annually.That would eventually make a good content based site.But has he thought that how much research on the Internet everyone has to make to get a single good quality post on the blog.If you say three for example then your thought process also gets tested only in the second one that you are going to write and making it better than the previous one with exclusive content is something that is tough and everyone would agree.So I would recommend that set a goal for yourself and try to follow that without putting too much pressure on yourself.The better you can write is the thing that everyone might read instead of just posting bull shit on your site.

I am currently starting after my break because of university exams and tight practical schedules. But finally i have set my goal of atleast one and maximum 2 posts per day.That i my aptitude and I know if stress more things will only get worse.So set yourself and commit to only what you can achieve.The goal has to be something that you can achieve and also keeps you motivating every time you hit the screen.Your only one good blog post is equivalent to 20 bull shits written even by good bloggers. I wish you all good luck on your blogging time.Cheers!

LINKING WITH OTHER BLOGS?

2010-08-28T16:18:00.002+05:30

In the race to acquire better site ranking and so also the visitors the bloggers just grab every opportunity to put their link on other blogs.So spam other bloggers comment section,some do link exchange.So what if the site has a bad reputation nobody cares is the reality.So think before you link with others or try link exchange through the following checklist:

1.Is the blog already has too many links exchanged with others.

2.Does the content of the blog suites yours to go forward with link exchange.

3.Whether the blog has a bad reputation over the blogosphere and linking with that blog might just not even my readers away.

4.Whether providing that blogs link might help my readers understand the point better.

If you get all the negative response after these points into consideration then better no to go ahead in link building .Else you are free to get into link sharing.

IS YOUR BLOG STILL WEAK?

2010-08-28T15:38:00.003+05:30

There is no doubt in my mind that your blogs status is only as good as the weakest content it has.To understand this better we should look at the example below.

Consider a pickpocket who now wants to live a peaceful and a good life now.He works in a hotel as a waiter to earn his living and is trying to be as honest as possible.But suddenly one day a cop comes to that hotel and calls that guy to his table starts questioning him as if he is there to rob the hotel off its money.The hotel manager immediately removes the person on the request of the cop.So what did you learn?

No matter how much you try to improve yourself, your previous deed or the things which are your weak points are easily exploited by others.Similarly, your blog is easily neglected if people already have an idea about the content your blog has.

Even though you have improved on your quality and also the content and you are trying to be as versatile as ever but still you have to suffer from the earlier posts and content that you have published on your blog.

So how to get rid of these issues? Maybe the following few important points may help you to refresh your blogs status.

1.New blog design

Sometimes people do not like the way you publish your posts and the placement of the widgets and ads on your blog.So do try and figure out what is the best layout for your blog which at first look seems to be more refreshing to you first.Try testing out different colours and placements on your blog so that the readers get what they want first and the the subsidiary content is down or at the corner.

2.Try submitting your site to the networking sites.

Some of you might be pissed off that your blog id denied again and again by the networking sites.This has happened with me but slowly as my content went on increasing along with the quality the sites have now accepted my blog and its a no commercial site now.

3.Site promotion,pagerank and SEO.

The promotional aspect is up to you whether you like to promote your site for free or spend money to advertise your blog on the other websites.But hey the PageRank is very important for your blog.if your PageRank is good then probably you can get more paid posts to write along with more adverts.So try to have more links with the other blogs and try using effective SEO techniques.

4.Performance

Its worthwhile tracking your blogs performance at least once a week.You should not only keep on writing and filling your blog but also take care to have a look around and see how many visitors are travelling across your blog, incoming and outgoing click streams,Alexa ranking etc.

Try doing this and you will eventually understand the shortcomings of your blog by yourself.

How to generate online readers fast for your blog

2010-06-16T20:41:00.006+05:30

Simple fast and easy to implement methods to attract readers and generate absolutely legitimate income from the Internet.These are the results of thorough readings and experience of several successful bloggers.They are as follows:

1.Develop a niche and blog about it seriously
Even if you are nowadays seeing that a mixed blog is more successful,the blog is sustainable if you are having a big interest in certain key topic and develop your blog over that single niche.It is always better to follow this and remember that you can post almost anything that you like and in any fashion as the posts are the outcome of your thoughts and emotions and readers also read that only.

2.Search the Internet for a hot topic on your niche and blog about it.
Its a great thing to do.If you get something good on the Internet about a topic related to your niche which has readers storming into the websites has the great potential to earn some good quality visitors to your site as well.It also becomes a potential earning weapon for your site.If you want tips on accurate internet search for good topics refer to my post on the internet search.

3.Develop solutions for people
Try looking at the comments and discussion to find out what do the bloggers over the globe want t o know more of.Try then to give solutions to those queries through your blog obviously by writing posts.This is also an effective method to attract good amount of audience to your site.

4.Develop a unique content that readers might pass on
If you really have a good quality and a unique post then people now have the habit of re tweeting about it or mentioning at their sites.An effective backup for link building isn't it?

5.Develop discussions and some luring plans
If you want the readers keep on coming to your blog then you should try to get some discussions going which is now the forte of blogosphere and people actively participate in the discussions.Also Try giving RSS feed or membership status to your readers so that they are constantly reminded by your updates.Also you can give them the email news letters for more information.

See if you are really interested in making money online then you should have a habit for putting that bit extra as the income from the Internet in obtained only through the brains hard work and that extra zip that few people give in and reap benefit.Do not think that it is an ice cream that you will gallop so easily but is like a Ketchup that takes some effort to come out of the bottle but when it comes out, it comes out in a rush.

Achieve less stress by staying focussed

2010-06-12T15:58:00.002+05:30

The hectic schedules today lets you go energy less just after few hours of work.More than the physical the mental stress is the thing that is the cause so many breakdowns that our body faces.We have only 24 hours a day to do the daily routine work,interact with the family and then finding out some leisure time off the schedule to relax.Hope we had more time in a day.Anyways not gonna start giving all the reasons for the stress only .Just gonna say and discuss with you all some ways to cut back some time for your self to destress form the pressures of life.

The best way to tackle stress and still stay focused on the job is to satay organised.The more you are the better you can handle the ever growing demands.Thinking up ways to get your life organized is the easy part. Identify the stressful aspects and activities in your life, and take some time (if you have any left!) to figure out a plan that will work for you. What makes you the most stressed: losing your car keys in the morning, looking for important documents at work, or having to stop on the way home from work for take-out because you did not have the time to plan dinner?

Here are a few methods to make your work a bit easier:

1.Make a To Do list.
People normally have the forgetting things.Especially when you are in rush to reach the office early you might just miss out on important things.So try to look at the list and see if you have all the important things there with you before leaving home.You can note down your daily tasks and appointments in that list to simplify your job further.

2.Use one stationary
people not down different thing sin different diaries which makes the situation all the more complex and very difficult to remain organized.So try to make all the notes and reminders in one place so as to avoid any conflicts or misusing some important meetings or the functions.

3.Little things that matter much
If you are losing the car keys or the room keys that you have kept at a place one day and not getting them on the other then try to maintain a separate storing area such as a small drawer or so in the are where you visit the most in your home.If you are getting tired after work and does not get the energy and enough motivation for cooking the food then you should try and cook food which takes very less time like you can make a salad with Bacon's and beans and make it a habit to cook it everyday on weekdays to reduce stress levels and relax more.

4.Its all about doing things in the simpler way
Make it a habit that when you start to do a task finish it off first and then move to another one.Mixing things make the matter even more complicated and you again have to invest you energy for completing the left out work which just adds the stress to you.

So Make sure that you bring these hings in to practice for your day to day life so as to become a better person overall.You will find out that luckily most things that are done in an organized fashion gets over in a way more quick time than you can do it in the normal way.So stay organized and stay safe.

How to make effective search online.

2010-06-11T15:50:00.008+05:30

In todays world atleast 75% of population in the cities uses the internet.Whenever we start a internet session on an average we always two searches online as per the recent survey.But its been a complaint from many users round the world that they mostly do not get the things easily as per their requirements on the internet.

Even though the best search engines like Google,yahoo or the Bing is available,people still do not get what they originally intended for.This sometimes sets the irritation inside the internet users.But this is not all.You should know by now that data available online through the internet appearing through the search engines are through the bots and the crawlers that the search engine companies use.Hence a proper accurate search can never be made and we can aslo say that accurate ionformation is also not available on the internet.

Hence if you guys are thinking to get rid of this problem then there are set of guidelines and the rules to be followed each time you want to search a content on the internet.These are as under:

1.Exact wordings
This is the most important of all set of seps to be followed for the proper internet search for content.If you are looking for a person or a specific item on the internet then you must follow this rule.In addition you may also use quotes in these kind of searches for example"Ravikumar Rai" is you are searching for me if you type ravi rai or ravirai then it is totally wrong and the search results are affected.So do keep this thing in mind.

2.Try alternate wordings for a search
This method is especially important if you are searching for a person on the internet for exdample consider Shawn to be searched as "Shawn or Shaun or Sean".This trick really helps and makes your search results come faster.People leave out early if they do not get the desired results in the first attempt.Hence follow this rule to get better results.

3.Use Synonyms
Another great idea to use if you are not getting the desired results.For example if you are searching for "moon" try using "lunar" or "Space" also and you may end up getting more accurate results.

The conclusion of all the above methods is to be specific about how you do a search online.The more you make a habit of doing searches online like this the nore you will get more accurate results and later on you may become master at this art.

How far have you come after starting your blog

2010-06-10T12:28:00.004+05:30

See its always better that you have a good tracking ability for yourself so that at the end of the weekend you realise how much you aimed for and how much have you achieved for yourself.Its always good to keep out negatives as you initially have to face a lot when you start your blogging.you have to go through a lot of research and have to do a lot to promote your blog and get your readers.It s a damn tough job.Even the big fish bloggers have to keep experimenting to find new ways to get readers and get their blog going and shaping up nicely.

Now what I really wanted to discuss here is that how far have we come after starting our blog. have we really achieved something that we thought before starting to write a blog or we are just trudging along and waiting for something to happen.Is it that you have lost the flavour and zing to create something new.All these are a part of the blogging for everyone.

The important thing to Ask ourselves is that have we learned something new that we can do in a different manner than others.This can be about blog writing style, presentation,leaving comments,increasing readers to your blog or something else that even I don't know of or it can also be that you should now quit after wasting so much of your time and also if you feel that way.

Anyways I want all of you to just help me and others out by leaving some interesting comments and suggestions so that i and the other readers of this post can benefit.Waiting for you response and looking forward to good quality comments and solutions and new ideas.Cheers!

How to have a landing page for your website

2010-06-10T11:59:00.003+05:30

Although I am an engineering student ,I had the blogging habit from the start of my school days but of course used to do it in my personal diary.All the days events used to come in a concise form.But now its easier for the people to share their experiences to others through blogging.Let me tell two things that are really important for any blog to be successful-----

1. Brilliant writing style so that people enjoy what you have written.We all share experiences and everything is from the heart but still it is highly important that we should focus on our writing skills and grammar.The way we present ourselves to the other readers is what matters and let me tell you that not all are really good at this.You can write several lines of scrap in your blog which if some read and get annoyed then might not return to your blog even if you have improved later on.I am the present example of that .the readership is out now and I have to build my readership once again.but I am sure that I will gain it once again.This is all about the writing skills.

2.Lets concentrate more on this one as this one is also really crucial.This is with reference to your blog or website design,layout and the landing page of your site.I would like to say this at the start that this things are very important but this might still not give you immediate results you are looking for as it requires some patience and some experimentation from your side so that end up giving a nice and fresh look to what you call is your website.I f you do not have any specific liking about any colour then try to keep the background as white as possible as it creates a sense of eye catching and promotes the surrounding elements in the blog as well as your posts very well to your readers.Another thing to understand is that it does not necessarily mean that you cannot have a different background.You can have something in light as background like green or blue but never anything else other than this.Or else this creates a irritation in the minds of readers.

All these things are made to you public by me after a lot of research and I myself have gone through all these troubles and want to suggest that others don't make the same mistakes that I have done.Improve yourself and be a better blogger.

Getting Advice Online And Everyone Is An Expert

2010-06-09T20:09:00.001+05:30

In today's day and age, technology rules the roost. Gone are the days of heading to the barbershop or to the corner store for a bit of business or personal advice. With the Internet, a myriad of advice is available. The key to it all is sifting through the useless advice to get to the really helpful stuff.

The first thing to realize is that everybody is an expert online. With so much information available in a variety of sources, most people consider themselves to be rather well read if they've had the chance to peruse a website or an online encyclopedia. The information available online is often not tested or scrutinized by the proper authorities, however, leading to a concept known in some circles as truth by popularity.

Truth by popularity refers to the idea that some thing's esteem influences its factuality. This is often the main policy behind many online reference sources. Many people seek advice or information from online references, but there is nothing keeping the information in these open-source publications accurate.

To combat the experts online, do independent research and use trustworthy sources. Anyone can give or get advice online, but the reliability of that advice depends on the source. Instead of simply throwing caution to the wind and trusting a public-run reference, use real references from people who know what they're talking about.

Part of what makes the online community a great place to seek advice is that everybody has a story to tell. This can lead to some lovely experiences with people, but it can also lead to biases and generalizations. Sifting through the personal stories to find something of use can be a challenge, especially when most people are convinced that their stereotypes are correct.

Along with the stories come the prejudices and biases within. Some individuals will temper their "advice" with large amounts of intolerance or generality. It is not unusual to experience bigotry, homophobia, and other damaging prejudices online when seeking advice or information.

Sorting through the prejudices of individuals when seeking advice online can be scary. It takes a great deal of patience to get to the heart of the matter. Some advice and information should be immediately discarded, especially if it contains racist or prejudicial annotations.

Avoiding the awful advice is probably the biggest part of getting advice online. But finding the good advice needs to follow. Seeking the experts online can be tricky. Like any good book, though, the experts should have references and qualifications. Seeking medical advice from "badmothertrucker69" might not be fitting, but heading to an online health magazine should provide more complete advice.

Finding the experts isn't too hard, but finding veracity in their accounts can be tricky. For this reason, it's probably a good idea to seek out two or more sources. If the sources concur on the counsel, the advice is probably sound. If there are varying accounts, however, it may be time to raise some eyebrows.

Advice experts tend to write for highly regarded publications online. A simple search engine can help shed some light on the more upright websites. From there, appropriate advice can be sought. Finding advice online needn't be too intricate, but with the amount of information and the assortment of so-called experts, finding correct advice can be a rough task.

Like anything in life, part of finding something meaningful involves the exploration. If the search is flawed, the advice will be flawed. By checking sources, using proper references, and putting aside the bad advice, the search for good advice on the Internet need not be the search for the Holy Grail.

RAMBLING BLOGGING

2010-02-17T19:32:00.002+05:30

I believe that initially when i started my blog ,I was not intent to do anything else other than only posting content on WWE as I was and still an ardent fan of WWE.But over the period of last 4 months or so just tried to change the things and mind you the change of my style has been a boon for my blog as I had more number of people coming by and reading my blog posts.Now thats what you call a Rambling isn't it?

I have been through many blogs who except for few paid posts and promotional ones have always tried to stick to just one style.This is only gonna fetch one type of readers to your blog.So it is not bad enough to try something out of your style and to get other type of readers so that you improve your ranking as well because that is also very important.I have come across few successful bloggers who advocate to just follow one style and get success but I don't have the same opinion.A successful blogger is one who has every type and style of written content on his blog so that the readers to his blog should never die out and so also the comments just keep coming.

The great advantage of Rambling is that you might also have been bored writing the same stuff and not getting enough ideas to get in more interesting facts.So the change of style and category might just refresh your mind as well as your blog.So also new readers are always what the bloggers sought out for.Not only this Rambling also is the way you write your posts.The posts might be long or the short ones but as long as the quality of posts is maintained,the size of posts does not matter to me at all.

So try doing things the other way round also as the blogger community wants everyone to have something special on their blog so that the readers just keep dropping by on other blogs as well and help each other mutually.Get and start doing something as refreshing as a cup of tea for yourself in blogging.Cheers!!

HOW TO RESPOND TO CRITICISM

2010-02-05T21:31:00.003+05:30

Just a few days back I came across the site onlinemoneywithgoogleadsense which stated that the famous pro blogger has sent virus and brought down his site from entrecard.The proofs were to a point you can say valid as well but still the approach taken by the blogger who criticized Darren was not correct.So also the reaction shown by Darren was also shocking as he kept visiting that blog for about 20 times a day for the whole 5 days when the matter got resolved.The approach by Darren was also not the correct one as he should not have kept visiting that blog so many times a day.I meant to say that what on earth you don't have anything else to do!So here is the post to let you understand and get prepared to get things resolved in future if you face one.

1.Respond calmly when you are attacked.
As I stated earlier that Darren also panicked when that blogger Vinay attacked him.The other reason that made Darren worried is that the blogger himself had a good following and alexa ranking was also very goo which implied that many people would read his post and might develop a bias against Darren.So he was commenting like mad on his post and also kept updating his point of view on twitter every 2 hours on the issue.I say you learn from this incident and do not panic.Try sending emails or commenting on the attackers post in a polite manner to discuss the issue and get it resolved before the things get public.

2.Reputation matters
I believe that if you have a good website with good number of followers and readers then you must try to save your reputation by quickly getting the things done in a polite manner so that you can save your face in time.

3.Check whether its just a publicity stunt?
I have seen many bloggers do this through videos and mind wobbling posts against famous names to attract more visitors.It is many a times a shortcut to immediate heavy traffic but one cannot sustain it for more than a week and then again it dries down.So if you feel that matter is not that important and the issue is stretched out of proportion then just ignore it.This also helps sometimes.

4.You can also join in some criticism and make your point
A good solution to a grave problem is always a thorough discussion of the matter.So if one can chip in to a problem with his neutral point of view then he can make the scene come to an end faster.So bloggers keep participating to keep our community alive.

I believe the post does make sense to you and you may respond to a problem faced by you in future appropriately.Any further suggestions are absolutely welcomed.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WEB DIRECTORIES

2010-01-18T15:31:00.003+05:30

A web directory is a place where you can submit your article for free to get good traffic.The webmasters use web directory as a special tool to promote their website.All you have to do is try and drop down through the categories till you reach the final appropriate one for own blog and then you can submit your article.Remember that you have to select the appropriate category for your site in order to get it approved by the admin of the web directory.

A web directory also has interconnection with the search engines so that you can be rest assured to get good quality traffic for your site after the submission of the article to these web directories.Mind you good business blogs and affiliate sites do have their websites marked in various directories to get good amount of traffic to their sites and a great exposure for their product for their firms and the services they offer.

Apart from getting good quality visitors to you site,another important reason why to go for the web directory is the SEO(Search Engine Optimization).Just by submitting article ,you get an inbound link to these directories and and this improves the page rank of your homepage drastically.Even if your site is not indexed in a search engine ,by submitting it to a web directory can ensure that your site will be indexed soon as the web directories are being crawled more regularly than the other sites.

An important thing though is to take care that you are submitting your site to a good web directory or else you can end up not getting the profits that you want.So if you do want to have a good number of inbound links,SEO and more number of posts from your sites indexed in the search engines then try web directory submission immediately.

HOW MUCH MONEY CAN A BLOG EARN FOR YOU

2010-01-18T14:56:00.002+05:30

The answer to this question is not straight forward but it depends on various factors such as your daily page views,your Alexa website rank,your RSS readers,most number of unique visitors throughout the day.These were the major factors but there are few more not mentioned here.

Why not consider the examples of few bloggers(not revealing their names for privacy reasons) to get a feel of how much potential they have to make money out of their site.

WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE KEYWORD AND TAG FOR YOUR BLOG POST

2010-01-14T21:32:00.002+05:30

For all these many days I have been roaming on different sites to get hold of what has to be the right keyword or tag for each of my blog post.I do take care that each keyword is such that my blog should appear in the top page of google search,but it isn't the case.So what should I do? Where should I go?i f you are also facing this problem then you can breathe a sigh of relief as I am writing this post to help all of you so that next time after writing the post you have the exact keyword and tag for your post to maximize SEO.So here is the whole concept.

1.Firstly just know how to differentiate between a category and a keyword.
People would love to give a short keyword or a tag for their post but often end up in writing a category name for e.g. news,music,technology,computers and the Internet ,blah blah blah.What you should realize is that the category is the broader side of division and is very easily written instead of a specific keyword.What you need is the 4 to 5 word exact concise meaning of the entire posts and such should be the keyword that it is searched by maximum number of people.You can test this by typing the keyword on the google homepage before really deciding it as a final one for your blog post.I hope this initial thing is now somewhat clear in your mind.Good bloggers sometimes do a blunder by not assigning the tag or keyword at all to their posts as they feel they have enough posts in their tank.This might backfire as they might lose visitors for a good posts they have written.So take notice of this as well.Do not leave anything blank.If you do not get any thing good you can still tag your post as a miscellaneous blog tips or special tips or whatever but please do not leave your keyword space blank.

2.What are the tagging types?
See to keep it simple let me explain these to you in a hurry.The first is the internal tagging that you do it for the post you write.Secondly the Meta-tags which are given as a separate keywords which define your entire blog essence.Lastly the external tags that you put by updating your posts on social bookmarking sites like digg,twitter,facebook,stumbleupon,Technorati and much more to mention.So have all these covered in the right manner to really get a good exposure for your blog.

Its been a troublesome work to find all these tips and combine them in one form.But I hope these tips will surely help you.

WHY GO FOR SMS MARKETING

2010-01-12T14:13:00.003+05:30

Going by the figures there are approximately 2 billion mobile users all over the world at least.With the 506 million users already in India itself,one can imagine the strength of SMS telemarketing.In simple sense,the SMS(short messaging service) marketing is a direct,personal and very effective medium to get exposure for your products and services to a large number of people at a single go,this is possible because you can send the same message to large number of people at one go.The method is been utilized on a large extent by the small scale companies and firms in Mumbai and many other metro cities in India and also all over the world.

The large benefits of this type of marketing is stated as under:

1.Delivery assurance.
The research has shown that about 94% of the messages received are read.So you are assured that your message is reached to a large number of people at a given time.

2.Wide range of usage.
The SMS can be used to used to serve variety of services like launch of a new product or service,New store openings,special limited time offers etc.Moreover,the specific type of people can also be targeted to achieve exclusive target marketing.

3.Probability of missing an alert is less.
Since all over the world,at least 80% of mobile phone users carry the mobiles with them,they can be alerted of a specific announcement,meetings,reminders,appointments and much more even if they are busy in their work.

4.As a revenue source.
If somebody subscribes paid SMS alerts which is being done by many firms ,A good amount of revenue can be collected from the mobile subscribers.

5.Not a spam technique.
Unlike emails which can be treated as a spam and can be neglected and unread,the mobile text messages can be sent according our convenience.

6.Short and concise form of marketing.
As all of us know that the messaging service allows about 140 characters,the immense care is taken to create a text message which is in short,clear and concise form.This form is somewhat accepted by the people as they do not have to read much and message is conveyed very fast to them.

7.A very low cost technique.
As compared to existing forms like the radio and the television,SMS is the most effective form of marketing when compared to costs incurred in the other mentioned methods.

NEW TECHNIQUES FOR FINDING MORE BLOG READERS

2010-01-11T20:26:00.003+05:30

A good research over the Internet and thorough reading from good sites makes me write this post again to list some more techniques to attract blog readers.While you might have discovered for yourself many other good working techniques,following techniques are still worthwhile reading.

1.Have good amount of major articles to draw traffic.
While you write everyday when you want to launch your blog,its most important that you have good number of anchor posts that is read more over the Internet so that traffic is drawn to your site.Do remember to maintain certain quality so that the readers are compelled to read only yours and not any other blog.

2.Write two three posts a day minimum during initial phase.
this is a point that you find on any other blog website that you should write one at least everyday.But if you have written 2-3 posts in advance everyday then you already have some good back up for you to get gong even when you are busy and have that time to write the post.So what are you waiting for?write in advance and keep them ready.Do remember that you can publish one of them if you wish but please have some stock ready.

3.Have your Entrecard account for your blog.
While most good bloggers have them for their blog to get readers running in and getting legitimate visitors,some good bloggers do not have them.But I recommend this site for all you new bloggers to drive good legal traffic to your site immediately,a thing which I realised later but now i have the account and I am getting around 1000 visitors per week.

4.Comment on others and get them commenting on yours.
The technique is somewhat complicated and is solely dependent on others who might or might not comment on your blog.But if you do start commenting in a healthy manner with relevant points and not just leaving your site's link,then there are good bloggers who do visit and comment actively on your blog.This thing is also equally important for your blogs appraisal.

5.Submit your blog to some good networking sites.
I know that most of you would have already done this thing but for those who still do not know for them let me mention blogcatalog,blogtoplist,technorati and ezine articles.Have registrations done for these sites.You will get around 100 visitors from all thses sites for sure.

6.Look for link building.
Now this is a daunting task for any new blogger but if you are lucky enough to get link exchange with a good page rank site like pagerank 3 or 4 atleast
then you should be getting your blog up in the google search engine and this will lead to more number of people coming to your blog from the search engines.

7.Go for SEO(Search Engine Optimization).
This is a very important principle for any new blogger who wants to make money online.While some bloggers like problogger does not believe in SEO,getting traffic through search engines is a dream for any blogger.To be listed in the top page of google search or yahoo or bing will drive heavy traffic to your site everyday.Remember for this you have to follow certain SEO principles like keywords,which I have discussed earlier in my posts.

8.Participate in discussion forums.
Worthwhile mentioning is digital point forums and technorati.So also you can have yourself registered for the sites like Stumbleupon and Delicious.You can participate in these forums and also drive some quality readers to your blog who can actually suggest some blog improvements for you.Try them now.

9.Why not use Twitter and Facebook.
Have your registrations done at these sites.Then you can tweet about every new post that you write and also publish the same content on your Facebook wall and update section.This will help you immensely as well.

10.The readers will come with time.
All the techniques mentioned above are the ones which do require some time to show their effect.But once they start showing you results I bet you can only have more increased traffic to your blog.So good luck to you all and get blogging now.

INCREASE MARKETING EFFECTIVENESS AS A KEY INGREDIENT FOR SMALL BUSINESS

2010-01-10T13:42:00.003+05:30

A good marketing technique is one in which you can successfully market the concerned product or service effectively than the actual product itself.Even the lower quality product can be made popular through effective marketing.There are so many people starting new business and not surviving long enough due to lack of effective marketing of their services.

Why do all the firms do not get success at the same same level.The reason is not so effective marketing.The actual essence of effective marketing is the methods which you employ to make your product reach the masses.After the marketing,which can create certain impression on the buyers,the sales actually depict the amount of goods being sold or services rendered to the customers.

Over the past 10 years, the major revolution in marketing is through the Internet.With the exponential increase in the number of Internet users every day,the impression that you can create through Internet marketing is also significant.The significant rule that applies in Internet marketing is the 80-20 rule,i.e from the 100 people you market through Internet,you can consider 20 people who have a great impression about the product.The main strategies to get to customers more effectively are as under

1.Get up close and personal with the customers and make them feel as they are your true partners and you truly care about their needs.We should satisfy them with right product and services in order to maintain the long term relationship with them.

2.We should work a bit smarter as well.The good firms go for simple marketing techniques and also employ traditional methods to reach the masses and hence do save some money in marketing.

3.Due to advancement in the number of users and the Internet over the past decade,we should always look to take advantage of the technology and the worldwide web.this technology also helps to keep in touch with the emerging trends and new ways to reach masses.

So from above points you must have realised the importance of effective marketing strategies to get hold of more number of customers and to really kick start your business in a healthy manner.

YOUR POSTS ARE YOUR INVESTMENTS

2010-01-09T18:17:00.001+05:30

A business does require an initial investment and so the hard work to get it running.The advertisements are also required to promote the business so that it reaches to the masses.When it comes to the blogging as your business,your posts are your investments.The better the ivestment is ,the better the results for your business.I am absolutely sure every ones invest with a good heart by writing good quality material but still there are some shortcomings in everyone's posts.

Your posts are the building blocks of your blog,it makes you earn the little revenue that you obviously do. A way to increase your post count is to have more number of people writing it.Yes its a bit difficult considering the fact that you can it difficult to find someone writing for you and so also maintain the same quality.But you can obviously try to have your own brother,sister or anyone from the internet whom you trust.

I can give you the example of my Father who used to give a rupee everyday of which I saved about 50 paise everyday and began investing them in my piggy bank.I know a rupee does not sound too big but when you consider as over a period of around 15-16 years,its a hell of a money which helped buy my first PC.Man that was cool.So I want you to understand that even the posts are the same.It may not be good in number now but over a period of time it will be significant for you and your blogging business.So try writing your success for the future as often as you can.Best of luck.

LEARN TO CHOOSE GOOD SUB BLOG NICHE ALSO

2010-01-07T16:30:00.004+05:30

I was just driving through the city of Thane which is a Mumbai suburban area and landed up to a to a well known hotel Namaskar,the biggest in the city and is now on for 23 years straight.I just sat their to have my lunch when a good friend of mine just found me and we started discussing about this hotel when he suddenly came up with exciting history of this hotel so i feel that i should also share with you.

The hotel owner Mr.Shetty opened Hotel Namaskar as just a a small food stall for people of Thane to serve the local delicacy of Vadapav and so also Samosas and Bhajias.this continued till few years and the stall became very famous for its quality and taste and soon there used to be people waiting for 30 mins in queue to have a taste of this place.The money with the owner grew and so he thought of extending the place to a small hotel and started a Veg Hotel named the same Namaskar with few new items and worked with same dedication and also served people with excellent food and superior quality as compared to other hotels already opened in that area.Soon it became the big fish of that area and other hotels started losing out on their customers heavily.They came up with short term beneficiary ideas but the hotel continued in its known manner and just before 8 years from now it has expanded in to a very big hotels of thane and a very posh place to dine in and so also the cost is still not very high and hence lures in the customers.

I know you may come up with a query that why would I read a story and how is it gonna benefit my blogging.The reason is very simple,you should understand the theme of the story more than anything else.What I am conveying to you is that you should try and be hardworking and always serve your readers with super quality content.You may be a small fish in an ocean but it is possible to also defeat those big sharks and make a name for your own self by trying to get many such ideas that support you blog niche.Get those all in a good compiled manner and do benefit your readers without trying to make them pay as the other good bloggers do by selling a damn Ebook which contains nothing else but the content of posts that they have already published earlier or from their archives.So be thoughtful and try to be more giving to others.

FEW MORE EXCUSES ON WHY PEOPLE DO NOT READ YOUR BLOG

2010-01-07T16:20:00.004+05:30

After a thorough reading from good quality sites and also the posts on them I have realized that following are few more reasons that why people sometimes neglect your blog even if you think that you have got it all to attract readers on your blog.So read and try to understand.

1.Oh my god I have nothing to say!

There are so many blogs that try to come up with posts that are already there with many other good bloggers.Without a certain new added thoughts and some more spice,you will always find your post very low in quality and not very interesting.That is why i have urged all of you to be your own critic first to enable you to move miles ahead of others.

2.The blog niche is certainly not favorable sometimes.

The readers as you all know want quality content and that also very quickly .So sometimes even when we write a good post for our blog ,sometimes the readers do not get the spice t hay want to have and hence your blog is often neglected by the readers.So try to be innovative and always come up with fresh ideas even for the the titles which are old enough, so that your blog is read more and you benefit all the way.

3.Your blog is not up to date.

I the need of of more traffic people do try to do more promotions through any damn technique they come across and often forget that they should also have enough number of posts and that of also good quality to support their blog.People please realize that only stats for your blog does not matter as you can achieve that for a period of a week or so but to sustain it you need to give good basic inputs to your blog also and that is good number of posts that are useful to others.Try to think over this also.

4.Do not try to be too much cynical.

I have seen many posts and many blogs who have started to blame other bloggers that they do not support this concept and blah blah blah and write 10 -20 posts on that same topic and end up creating a wrong impression on the readers about the blog author.So what you should write should always benefit others and should be productive to you as well.So be more open and forget what is happening around you and be your own man because that is the way to go.

I hope these points will benefit you and would improve you as a blogger and more importantly as a person.

BLOGGERS PLEASE THINK AGAIN!

2010-01-06T19:54:00.002+05:30

No matter how much you put your efforts to put together a good post and so a good blog,its a case which I noticed and also found correct in my case also that most of us only search for quick and quality content.The thinking that somebody else reads your blog post completely is just not the fact that goes down well with me.At the most one has a quick look at the 1st or the 2nd para and you are off.So bloggers please think again when you write a new post for others.

1.One of the traps that it’s easy to fall into as a blogger is to think that your readers care that they are reading a blog.While there is a good percentage of blog readers and writers who do care to read and also comment and do follow others writing closely,there is still vast
majority of population of new bloggers who are unaware of this whole scenario.

2.What somebody does lookout for is how to have good quality content and also quickly.
This maybe through the search engines ,through various forums,networking sites etc.What worries me as I surf through many blogs each day is that there seem to be quite a few bloggers (and some blog networks) who in my mind are a little obsessed with reminding their readers that they are on a blog. While there is nothing wrong with educating readers about blogging occasionally I suspect in most cases readers don’t really care and that constantly reminding them of the fact that they are on a blog is something that can actually work against you.

So I do urge all the new bloggers and so the good ones to do encourage healthy blogging style,so also comment on most blog they come across so that the new bloggers also get encouraged and they also participate actively rather than being a dumb blogger
