blogging 102

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes One of the very first articles I ever wrote on Internet Marketing had to do with RSS and it was entitled “10 Reasons To Put RSS On Your Site.” That was in 2004 and RSS was somewhat new and many webmasters were just beginning to place blogs and RSS feeds on their sites. If you do a search in Google, you can still find that article on around 2,000 sites. Most people now refer to RSS as “Really Simple Syndication” — although it originally stood for “Rich Site Summary” and was a very simple way of summarizing and syndicating your content in real-time to all interested parties. RSS had its early beginnings with Netscape in 1991 which introduced the first version of RSS (RDF Site Summary). Later versions would be introduced and made popular by Dave Winer of ScriptingNews and Userland fame who is considered by many to be one of the major founding fathers of RSS. Most people today associate RSS with blogs and blogging.... 

Reading time: 4 – 6 minutes SEO, or search engine optimization, is the most important thing to make money online. If you know the basic concept of SEO, you can be confident to make money online by SEO. Here I am jotting down best SEO tactics that I have learned from hands on SEO experience on SEO for online marketing. 1) Think where to write SEO articles? Answer is – blog, website or article submission websites. If you have a blog or website, SEO is important to promote your website through search engines by doing SEO. If you have a good search engine ranking, you can get more target traffic/visitor to your website and if you run Google adsense /adbrite/chitika or any other contexual ad providers, your earning potential will be increased by an increasing CTR (click through rate). If you have no website but you want to promote your affiliate product, then SEO for article marketing is important to you for your affiliate marketing. Figure out the right product for your affiliate... 

Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes Gauging Progress is a tough thing to do for a new blog and one of the hardest things for you to do when a blog is only ten days old.  it is even harder to gauge the progress than it is to attract visitors.  None the less you need to do it, just as much as you need to attract new visitors every day.  Let’s take a look at Meme Connection again. Since the blog went online we have dropped our Alexa number 3.2M and that is down from 3.5 on Sunday when I checked it last and down from 7.5M on the first.  i think I may well meet the goal I set of under 1M by the end of the month at this rate if I keep it up. Google has been good to us as well.  For the unquoted terms meme and connection the site or sites linking to Meme Connection carry nine of the top ten slots.  For a site that went online fifteen days ago that is pretty impressive even if the terms aren’t well searched, since there are 6.5M search results. Google Analytics says my visitors... 

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes There were several old combinations that worked well together but since WordPress 2.3 came out many of them stopped working properly or stopped working altogether. Fear not there are replacements out there. Unlike many of the regurgitated idiot lists currently out there, everything I list will work in WordPress 2.5 the only version of the blog software you should be running. Ultimate Tag Warrior hasn’t been supported by the author since WordPress 2.3 came out. Many of its features and those of Bunny’s Technorati Tags, Jerome’s Keywords, and other tagging programs are easily replaced in better plugins. The All in One SEO Pack can even be replaced now. The new power plugin combination consists of Headspace2 and Simple Tags. Between these two plugins you can hand every task that you used to require half a dozen plugins and tweaks. convey_source = "English"; Read More →

Reading time: < 1 minute 5) Don’t Advertise On Your Noobie Blog. People who tell you not to advertise don’t usually have your best interest at heart. The first kind of people to give that advice are readers who want something for nothing. Second kind are bloggers who think if you don’t have ads their advertising will get a better click through ratio. 4) Gadets and Widgets are the bomb and you should use all the latest and greatest. The fact is unless it is unobtrusive and either useful to you or your readers it is pointless and slows down your load times. convey_source = "English"; Read More →
