blogging 102

Reading time: < 1 minute By Mark A. Abrahams In order to continuously stay on top of traffic building to your site, your website needs to be kept shiny and fresh, just like a new car. Imagine sitting in a traffic jam, you just spent the entire day at work. You can’t wait to go home and find whatever the pleasure is that’s awaiting you. You look over and you see your dream car. For everyone it’s different, it’s that black, sexy sports car, that hugs the curves of the road. Or it might be that brand new gray pickup truck, that can tackle anything you put before it, mountains, sand-dunes, heaps of mud. Whatever it is it catches your attention and you’re hooked. convey_source = "English"; Read More →

Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes Digg Every blogger should have a Digg account, no matter where you blog. If you don’t write crap for blog content, it won’t long before someone starts Digging your posts. You are going to need an account to help with the self promotion and respond to people Digging your work. As you build your network you can shout out not just your cool new finds but the ones elsewhere to your friends. Digging others is almost as important as getting dug yourself, since people do profile the people Digging them, especially when you’re among the first to Digg a new page or the other user is just getting started. On that same note you should be profiling the people Digging you and reading their work, not just to be nice either. You reap what you sew in social networking. Popularity snowballs on Social Networking. Stumbleupon Just like with Digg every Blogger should get a Stumbleupon account. At first you should be asking your friends to your posts not to mention... 

Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes There are two really great programs that I am familiar and associated with BlogMad and BlogExplosion. You earn traffic to your site by surfing the sites they feed you. This is where writing good content and catchy post titles will really pay off. A person has to have your site up for 25 seconds in BlogMad and 30 seconds in BlogExplosion. before they can move on. In my opinion if you want to start earning mad traffic you should join them both. you can easily surf through a lot of blogs while you you are watching TV or Listening to music and if you are a multitasker like th two computers at your desk there is no reason why you can’t always have a browser window open just for these sites. You won’t give a damn about most of the sites that you see, but some times you will see something that makes you go wow and that is worth the time spent. If you feel you must pick one of the two I would say go with BlogMad. BlogMad Favorites can be... 

Reading time: 2 – 2 minutes You can have the coolest blog layout and even more impressive content, but without readers it is merely a vanity project. We all want lots of Google traffic because as everyone knows it is king of the search engines. The fact is when you are a noob Google traffic is going to be hard to come by unless you did something really stupid and have your blog associated with it. Having a podcast of you and your sister doing it on the desk would probably get you noticed. Frankly if she is hot enough that you want to fuck her and she is horny enough not to care about incest good for you both, That will likely get you noticed, but it won’t get you the kind of traffic you want in all likelyhood. Face it you are a noob. you need to worry about the technical aspects of getting listed on Google, but you should not worry about if your traffic is coming from their. Get your traffic in play and Google will eventually pick up on you. So where does that leave you...
