Bloggers R Us

I’ve been blogging for a while now and one thing I noticed while reading other blogs is that some of them suck. There – I said it!

It’s not hard to find a blog that has either died (that is, the author doesn’t update it anymore), provides the wrong information, has spelling and grammar mistakes or the theme itself makes you sick.

I’ve compiled a list of 5 traits that a good blogger should have.Be Personal

A good blogger should provide insight and a touch of their personal side while writing. The information offered should not be recycled, but fresh and informative (especially on a marketing blog). A blogger should be responsive to their audience, be easily accessible, respond to comments and provide dialog that’s easy to make sense of.Have a Personality

The blogger personality is a huge key when it comes to having your audience like you or hate you. This is where it gets tricky – you want to be somewhere between ‘liked’ and ‘hated’. You want to be hated enough to cause a little controversy and discussion amongst your readers, but likable enough that even those that hate you will come back to read more. Make sense?Be Passionate

If you’re not passionate about what you’re writing about, it shows and your readers will know it. You shouldn’t have to struggle when writing a post – it should come naturally. If this isn’t the case, you’re writing on the wrong subject. Have fun while writing and don’t force yourself too much.Post Pictures

Every now and then post a photo to go along with your post. It doesn’t have to be a photo of yourself (although you could do that too), but a photo related to whatever your post happens to be about. For example, I try to post at least one photo along with each post I make, but sometimes I don’t post any. I like to switch it up a bit.Stay Focused

If your blog is about detailing cars, don’t write about your political opinions – it’s pretty straight forward. Most blogs I visit like to freestyle on the weekends and break a few of the rules. This is good because it gives the reader a chance to see what else you can write about. But remember, 99% of the time your content should match your title. Your readers were attracted to your blog in the first place because of its subject; try to keep their focus (and yours) as much as possible.

Blogger Is Also A Free Site So You Will Not Have To Pay For Any Domain Name Or HostingBlogging has quickly been recognized by many internet marketers lately. It has been known to be a very powerful tool to save all of your information and articles to in order to get traffic. But, what some people don’t know is that you can make a full time income using blogs alone. Blogging is so easy and fun to do and can be done by pretty much anybody. If you have a Face book or MySpace then you will do just fine running a blog. When you first set up a blog you may want to look into the site known as Blogger as it is run by Google. For more details go to www.blogers-guide-to-profit.com. When you set up a blog with them and try to make money from them you will get ranked in the search engines way better then with any other site because Google actually ranks them very highly.

Blogger is also a free site so you will not have to pay for any domain name or hosting.

If only they knew the true power of a blog and how to maximize it to full profit potential.

What people do is write a few posts that are on a certain topic and leave a link at the bottom of the post that is an affiliate link. Affiliate marketing is when you sell someone else’s product and you can make a commission off of it. #2 Google Adsense Another cool thing about blogger is that you have the capability to use Google Adsense on your blog for free.

Google adsense is Google ads that you see on the right hand of your screen when you do a search in Google. Whenever someone clicks on the ads that you have on your page you will get paid per click. #3 Sell your own product You can also sell your own product if you don’t like the idea of selling someone else’s.

Blogging is a powerful tool for increasing traffic to your website and boosting your online profits.

Some bloggers are very successfull, and some bloggers are not. We will discussed in this article the 4 main reason why many bloggers fail to make money blogging.1.Some bloggers don’t blog on a regular basis, and their blogs do not have fresh and unique content. Blogs can be powerful in driving traffic to a website if they have high quality and unique content which makes search engines visit them and index the content. After the blog is indexed by search engines, people looking for information on search engines that relate to your blog’s keywords will be directed to your website, and you therefore get high volumes of traffic. Summary #1 = Not blogging on a regular basis.Solution#1 = Constant blogging will keep your blog fresh and will drive more traffic to your blog.

2.Lack of useful and captivating information on the website. It is important for your blog to have information which your visitors will enjoy and find useful. If you have high quality information on your blog, you will get many visitors and some people will also bookmark your blog and visit on a regular basis. This increases the traffic to your blog and website, and results in more sales. It is also important for you to make your blog unique and attractive by adding interesting images and any other information that will be of interest to your blog’s visitors.

Summary#2 = Lack of useful informationSolution#2 = Post information that people are looking for.

3.Lack of keywords in your blog categories and blog content. This is the most powerful way to increase traffic to your website. You must know and use all the keywords that relate to your niche when posting on your blog. If you have some headings for categories on your blog, make sure that you use your keywords on the headings of these categories as this increases the visibility of your blog on search engines.

Summary#3 = Not adding KeywordsSolution#3= This is a freebie, add relevant keywords to your postings.

 

4.Some bloggers do not increase the earning potential of their blogs. If you want to earn money with your blog, you must sell your own products and services on the blog. You can also identify affiliate programs that match your niche and sell these affiliate products. All you need to do is to add your affiliate links on your blog. You can review these affiliate products and include the keywords in your blog content. You can also increase the money you earn from your blog by adding some Google Adsense adverts on your website. When someone clicks of the Google Adsense adverts from your website, you earn some money. Summary#4 = Not having your own products or advertisement.Solution#4 = Sign up to Google Adsense or Clickbank. Google adsense provides you with advertisement which you can earn money when people click on the sponsored links. Clickbank you can actually browse through there marketplace and select a product that is relevant to your blog. They will give you a commission when the product is sold.

If you want to increase your online profits from your blogs, avoid the four mistakes presented above.

WordPress and Blogger are the two dominant internet blogging systems. So it’s only natural that there be heated debates over which one is better.When people want to create a blog they basically have a choice between WordPress or Blogger.  And often times because they don’t want to waste any time figuring out which one is better, they just go with the one that they found out about first or heard about somebody else using.  But as they go around looking at other blogs they start seeing and hearing about other people using the “other” blogging software and start to wonder why they choose that service.  If your creating your blog for business purposes it’s especially essential that you understand the advantages and disadvantages between the two. Blogger….Advantages• You can put Google Adsense into your blogs. • You can promote anything that you want, any way that you want, as long as it’s not illegal or against there rules and regulations• It’s free!Disadvantages• Unless you have your own blog template or know how to design one your not going to get a top notch looking blog. • Adsense and other ads add a lot of clutter to pages and this can turn off visitors to your blog. • Very basic software that you can’t do much with unless you have advanced blogging technical knowledge.WordpressAdvantages• Has great templates to choose from so even if you don’t know much about designing blog you can still make a nice looking one. • Very User Friendly• Excellent for use on private domains• It’s freeDisadvantages• Your not supposed to advertise products using wordpress, but they will allow you to advertise a few links if you don’t over do it.• You can’t personalize your blog to much unless you have your own hosting and domain.And the winner is…. WordPress!!With the exception of adwords, WordPress offers everything that blogger has and more.  And if you really want to have ads on your blog you can join some ad networks.

The “Fake IPL Blogger”, a Kolkata Knight Rider player, blogging under an anonymous pseudonym who has been making waves in the journalistic circle with his sharp critiques of the Knight Rider franchise, will be making his first live internet appearance when he appears on the community-owned cricket site, CricketVoice.com.  For many weeks, the KKR management has been trying to figure out the identity of the unknown blogger and his agreement with CricketVoice.com has come about from a written contract that prohibits the non-profit company from storing or revealing the IP address of the player. The Q&A session will take place on an interactive chat interface which will allow all users present to ask questions.  The moderators of the session will pick questions and field them to the blogger, who has agreed to answer any and all questions short of those which ask him to reveal his identity or give clues about his identity due to the inherent risks involved in revealing the information.As an independent, non-commercial website created with the aim of promoting healthy cricketing dialogue, CricketVoice does not endorse the Fake IPL Blogger’s crude critiques of his fellow-cricketers, however, it does firmly support the right to have free and unadulterated discussions.  To further its commitment for open dialogue, the website has also invited the KKR captain, Brandon McCullum, the KKR owner, Shahrukh Khan, and the KKR coach, John Buchanan, to join the live session.The live interview will take place on the May 2nd, a day after the Knight Riders take on the Mumbai Indians at 9 AM IST/ 4:30 AM GMT.

Blogger is a very popular free Blogging platform, but each free blogs comes with the same exact default favicon that Blogger is using.

She asked about Blogger blogs having their own favicon.Creating or finding your faviconIf want to create your own favicon, you can follow my guide on creating your own favicon.

I’ve used both unique and free favicons, I just try to use a favicon that represents what my website is about or something that is rememberable.Uploading your faviconYou will need to find an alternative host for your favicon because Blogger does not host custom favicons. A lot of free file hosting services will not host .ico file types, so these are not good options. If you don’t have your own web hosting account, there is a service called myFavatar that will host your favicon for free. Flickr will allow you to host .ico files also, so if you have an account there already that may be a good choice.Linking to your faviconYou will need to do some updates to your templates in order to get your favicon to show up. This part might get tricky, so if you need any additional help please don’t be afraid to ask. To edit your Blogger templates, after you login go to “Layout” –> “Edit HTML”.

Whether you’ve been marketing your business on the web for years or you are just starting out and recognize that web marketing will greatly contribute to your business success, there’s one thing that’s key to keeping your company name on people’s minds: keeping a blog. With a blog, you’ll be able to keep fresh content on your website which adds values for site visitors and draws in the search engine spiders.
What many business owners find – those whose companies are well-established as well as those who are just starting out – is that it takes time to keep a website up to date. They also find that keeping a blog can take a chunk of time out of their day, time that could be used for any number of other activities from taking client calls to checking on production to making sure that the bills are getting paid. Often, despite their best intentions, business owners give up on posting to their blog whether they just give it up all at once or let their posts trickle off slowly.
All of a sudden, even though you know that you should keep a blog for your business, you’ll find that it slips off of your priority list and on to your list of things to do. And then you’ll find that it slips to that part of the list where things just stay either forever or until everything else on the list is something .
There’s a good way of avoiding the problem, however: hire a professional blogger to write the blog for your business.
Why would you hire a professional blogger? Well, to begin with, when you’re working with someone who operates a business dedicated to blogging that is staffed by trained bloggers, you’ll know that the person writing your blog knows the tips, tools and techniques that will draw attention to your blog. Not only will you be able to benefit from the blogger’s experience, but you won’t have to spend time learning the techniques or writing the posts.
While those are, in themselves, great benefits, the list doesn’t stop there. When you contract with a blogging company, you’ll know what you’re getting. If you hire a blogger who will post to your blog daily, you can be sure that there will be fresh content added to your site each day. If you hire someone to post five times a week, you’ll have five posts each week. A professional blogger makes a commitment to you, a commitment that the job will be done.
As a result, you get all of the benefits that come with having a blog for your business – increased site traffic, incoming links to your website and a relationship with current and prospective customers – without any of the hassle. You don’t have to worry about days without posts, coming up with content or staying on top of all of the latest tips and tools that bloggers use to get their work noticed. In no time, you’ll find yourself reaping the rewards of a well-written blog.

Blogs are the modern computer-based way of communication. Expression has never been made better. They are mission critical as they pass the message the way was intended to be. Blogging has become a part of our lives and people simply love it. The blog lovers act as suppliers of innovation, energy and laughter. What we do not know is that dating a blogger can be quite challenging since like all human beings, they have their baggage too. The Internet has become a major center of interaction and you might fall in love with a person who writes or reads. You need to court this person appropriately if you are hoping to take the relationship to the next level. This people attract a lot of crowd and so a little mess with their lives will be known by many. You can be sure it will be documented for all to see.While dating a blogger, you can all the same avoid being stood up, publicly depressed or dumped for that matter. To keep your reputation clean on line nurture the relationship to be the way you want it to be. The first rule for dating Blogs is to avoid doing something silly because they have the talent to express everything with excellent clarity. They read in between the lines and will never miss a bit. Therefore to avoid blog embarrassments, carry yourself with dignity because a small mistake can be magnified to amazing levels. Another thing common with the bloggers is that they are fond of sharing information. If you are dating him/her you must accept this concept. His whole social network will be aware of every little detail.Blogs change as many times as possible depending on the hot topic in town. Dating a blogger who is always a breast with the news you have to keep up the pace. Keep one eye open even at night so that nothing passes you by. Your assistance in offering information can prove to be very beneficial on your part. It is only sharing his interest that can keep him interested and that is the blog. Dance the bloggers tune and you are out for a lifetime moment with the love of your life. If you are dating him, you have to develop skills of dealing with the rebellious spirit. They love being controversial and they like it when the status quo is disrupted. If you are planning to be with a blogger for a long time, avoid naivety. He will use tricks to try and capture your inner self. They are not ready to open up to someone whose intelligence they can question. They are generally addicted to online tricks that it sometimes becomes hard to do anything without tricks. They have to do search engine optimization and deal with google AdWords and all these have corrupted their thinking. While dating a Blogger, be not quick to judge, listen to them and then correct them while you can. Remember people will write to appreciate the blog and so do not be damn jealous when they express their love.
