Blog Success

Important Concepts To Improve Your Blog.

Although it may seem to be a little obvious, in order for your blog thrive and  you must have visitors, good content and the attention of the search engines.
If you are thinking of your blog visitors as 'traffic' than you are making a fundamental mindset mistake. Your visitors are your readers, they have come to your blog to get a unique point of view to hear what you have to say. These are real people, successful bloggers treat their visitors as such and not as 'traffic'.
Think about inviting a guest into your house, wouldn't you be on your best behavior and show hospitality? If you treat them in a deep personalized way or asked them from for money as soon as they crossed the threshold you would soon have very few friends.

The Content
The Internet is a very fast-paced environment, in order for you to get somebody attention and keep it, you must have some outstanding content. You must be expressing a unique point of view, or providing valuable information. If the only content on your site is old stale warmed over topics that have been discussed 1000 times before people will soon be leaving in droves. The content should also be relevant and of high value to the audience. Find out what your audience wants and proceed to satisfy them.
From the point of view of the search engines, one thing you will never be penalized for is relevant, original and unique content. Many bloggers spent untold time and tons of money trying to beat the system to get search engine rankings by the next new trick. The simple fact of the matter is if they were writing good content that was relevant to their topic and provide it with the reader was looking for, high search engine rankings are almost a guarantee.

Proper Posting Procedure
Some bloggers make the mistake of writing for the search engines, and not for their visitors. This can make for some tough reading, and without visitors your blog is surely not prosper. Likewise to write exclusively for the readers and pay no attention to how the search engines find your content is also not too productive. The solution lies somewhere in between. In order for the search engines to notice your content more readily there are a few simple things you can do that will not affect the readability of your blog.

Here are three tips that can help you out:
1. Make sure your keyword, or main topic is in your title and near the beginning.
2. Make sure your keyword, or main topic is at the very beginning of the post.
3. Mention your main topic or keyword as close to the end of the article as possible.
While the overall concept of blogging is relatively simple, there are many, many, more ways to improve the readership, content, and visibility of your blog. We have just seen the tip of the iceberg.

One idea for an online home business is to create a blog. 
All you need to make any money online is the will to succeed and great advice !

What Is a Blog.

For my, blog is a place for us to plan something.

A blog is a type of web page which is designed to be updated frequently and easily by the owner. This flexibility enables the blog owner or ‘blogger’ to take their blog in almost any direction they choose. Some blogs take the form of a news commentary and some are dedicated to a particular hobby or activity, while others are simply an online diary. The latter type of blog rarely extends it’s readership beyond family and friends unless the blogger is constantly doing something very interesting.The subject matter of your blog is therefore the first thing to consider. If the most popular blogs have one thing in common it is that the blogger is passionate about the subject matter.


Blogs have the advantage of being very easy to design and publish. In fact, you do those tasks the other way round as you first create a blog and then decide how it will look and the functions you require on it. The two most popular forms of blogs are Google’s Blogspot blogs and those offered by WordPress.
Once you have a blog set up  you will need to decide on the look and feel you want for it. This is easy to do and you should take your time to make sure that you have the right type of design which will favourably reflect your content, while at the same time offer plenty of space for advertisements and other money making activities. Then it is time for content.A blog will live or die according to the frequency and quality of the content posted on it. Readers will return frequently to a high quality blog and will recommend the blog to other like minded people.


The next task is to decide how you want to use the blog to create an income. There are a variety of proven income-generating methods which can be used either independently or together. Placing contextual advertisements on your blog is a good idea to start with. With this type of advertising the blogger creates a space on the blog where adverts will be placed. The adverts will reflect the subject matter of the blog content so will probably be advertising goods or services which are of interest to the blog visitor. When a visitor clicks on an advert link, the advertiser is charged a fee and a proportion of that fee is passed on to the owner of the blog where the click, or sales lead, originated.


Another income generating method is to review or promote products relevant to your blog content which have an affiliates program. For example, if you have a food blog and decide to review a cookery course which you have signed up as an affiliate of, if a reader decides to purchase the course they would click on a special affiliate link which you place in successful, completed sale you will get paid a percentage of the sale price.

Blog Promotion.

In order to promote your blog, you will need to spread the word about it to groups of people who share similar interests. These people can be found posting on message boards and forums which have a related subject matter to your blog. Join these forums and introduce your blog to the members. Also post comments on other related blogs providing a link back to yours. Other good sources of traffic are the social networking and micro-blogging sites. Start a new group or fan page on facebook  which can then be linked to your blog and seek out and follow people on twitter who share your interests and tweet about your blog. Providing your blog is getting regular fresh content of high quality, you will soon build a following.Blogging for profit cannot be called a get rich quick scheme but it can develop an income over time. How large an income you will enjoy will really depend on your commitment to your blog and your diligence in maintaining a steady supply of relevant content. The best news is that you have nothing to lose by starting a blog as nothing mentioned in this article requires any monetary investment at all.

Type Of Blog

There are so many types of blog posts. Which one get the most traffic.

Instructions and Tutorials – These posts are among the most popular type of blog posts that I see on blogs. This type of post is usually most searched in google, so the if you get ranked well, you will get good traffic.

Informational – People like to know something that they don’t know. Perhaps an update, or something of that sort. Announcement of new wordpress release. This type of post gets hit if you are the first one. Even if you are not the first one, it is good to write it because of the trackback traffic. I know everytime I write about a new wordpress release, I get around 400 – 500 visitors from WordPress site due to trackback.

Case Studies – Case Studies is also a growing trend among bloggers. This is one of the things that is being appreciated by the readers, so I would rank this third in my list because it attracts new readers as well as entertain loyal readers.

List Posts – The good ol’ list posts no longer rank at the top because it is getting old. You have to have a spectacular list in order for others to appreciate it. Make it more exciting than just a list. Now list needs more add on to it before it gets hit.

Interviews – Interview with a famous person is always a good read for readers. Interview bring you new readers because all followers of the person being interviewed comes to your site to see your conversation.

Prediction Posts – Prediction posts always entertain your readers because your reader likes to see your predictions and your thoughts. If you are predicting something famous, then you will likely receive hits from google and other search engines as well.

Safety Tips Blog

Not all of the things we can do on the blog

There are some things that we must follow to ensure safety when blogging.don 't underestimate this issue because no one for us to be careful .. especially for women who are more at risk in the cyber world. Let's blogging safely.

Think of a blog post as a virtual tattoo - easy to get but difficult if not impossible to remove. An interesting blog can be picked up by other bloggers and re-posted. This means that removing a post from your own blog does not necessarily mean it is not still in the public domain. Once its out there, it is out there forever.Here are a few simple rules that you should follow to avoid embarrassment or worse from your online ramblings.
  1. Never write something in a blog that you wouldn't say to potential readers face to face
  2. Never post anything that you wouldn't want your mother to see, now or in the future.
  3. Never post anything negative about someone else
  4. Never include course language in a post
  5. Never mix blogging and alcohol
  6. Never make a post in anger
  7. Never post a photo of someone else without their permission or the permission of a parent/guardian if the person is not an adult
  8. Never post explicit images
  9. Never post a rant on any subject when you lack knowledge - it is better to remain silent and have people think you are ignorant than to make a post that proves you are!
  10. If in doubt - DON"T.
The internet, and blogs in particular, can be incredibly empowering through the transfer of information and building of knowledge. They can also be incredibly damaging when misused, both to the target and to the blogger.  Please join the swelling ranks of bloggers, the rewards are worth a little effort.  But do it intelligently and with caution.

Increase Blog Traffic

In the blogging world of high traffic volume are important

You've got your blog set up and you've started posting pithy, useful information that your niche market would benefit from and enjoy. Days go by, you keep publishing, but no one comments and your traffic stats are barely registering. What do you do?Like any website you own, you must do some blog promotion to start driving traffic to your site.

1. Set up an email subscription form on your blog and invite everyone in your network to subscribe: family, friends, colleagues, clients, associates.

2. Read and comment on other blogs that are in your target niche. Don't write things like "nice blog" or "great post." Write intelligent, useful comments with a link to your blog.

3. Submit your blog to traditional search engines.

4. Submit your blog to blog directories.

5. If you publish a newsletter, make sure you have a link to your blog in every issue.

6. Print your blog URL on your business cards, brochures and flyers.

7. Post often to keep attracting your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; include links to other blogs, articles and websites in your posts.

8. Make a commitment to blog everyday. 10 minutes a day can help increase your traffic as new content attracts search engine spiders. Put it on your calendar as a task every day at the same time.

9. Make sure you have an RSS feed URL that people can subscribe to. The acronym RSS means Rich Site Summary, or some may consider its meaning as Really Simple Syndication. It is a document type that lists updates of websites or blogs available for syndication. These RSS documents (also known as 'feeds') may be read using aggregators (news readers). RSS feeds may show headlines only or both headlines and summaries.

10. Use Trackback links when you quote or refer to other blog posts. What is TrackBack? Essentially what this does is send a message from one server to another server letting it know you have posted a reference to their post. The beauty is that a link to your blog is now included on their site.
