Bloggers R Us

There is nothing better than quick and easy money. And there is no quicker and easier money than putting up a certain kind of blog. This is a down and dirty, no muss, no fuss process. It’s not pretty and nobody is going to award you style points for it, but when you start to see the traffic coming in, you’ll thank me for sharing these killer tips. So let’s begin.

First thing you want to do is head on over to Google Trends. Every hour, they update with the latest hot searches. This is what people are looking for right now. For example, as I am writing this, everybody and their grandmother is looking up the Michael Vick press conference since he just signed with the Eagles for two years. Simply go to the site, find something hot that can be monetized in some way (with Vick you can always sell football related stuff) and then move on to the next step.

That next step is getting yourself a Blogspot blog.

The reason you want a Blogspot blog is because you don’t have to wait for getting a domain propagated to your hosting. With Blogspot, it’s instantaneous. I can get a blog up and running literally within 10 minutes…and that’s with all that’s going to come next.

What comes next is the article you’re going to write for your blog. It should relate directly to the news event. In the case of Michael Vick, you might want to write a summary of the press conference. People searching for this phrase are going to want to know what went down. A good summary will attract a lot of traffic.

Finally, there is the actual monetization. There are two easy ways to monetize something like this. For starters, you can put some AdSense blocks on your blog. This is a great way to make some money without people having to buy anything.

If you choose your keywords correctly, Google will display the relevant ads. In addition to AdSense, you can go to Amazon and get some links for football related merchandise. Just place them under your article and you’re bound to make a few sales from it once you get enough traffic.

That brings us to the final piece of the puzzle…getting traffic. You want to do this quickly, so the best quick ways are through social bookmarking and social networking. Go to places like Digg and Twitter and bookmark and tweet about your blog and you’ll have quite a few people going there. If you also have a relevant list to the niche, you can email them and let them know about your new blog.

Like I said, this is a very quick method that can, in many cases, bring you results in a matter of hours. So if you want to make money quickly, this is one great way to do it…with a free Blogspot blog.

To YOUR Success,

In this blogger manual I’ll show you the basic off all SEO technique. I don’t like to chit-chat, so let’s straigth to the point. You must know that we have two kinds of optimization that can be done by ourselves. First, is On-page Optimization, and the second is Off-page optimization….Do you know anything about On-page optimization? It’s everyting that you can do to your blog to make it suitable for the search engine. We have several things to do for our on-page optimization:1. Choose the keywords of your new blogUse Google External Keywords tool to choose your keywords. How to use this tool? It’s quite simple. Consider that you want to use “Blogspot tutorial” as your keyword. All you need to do is to type this keyword in to the keyword box. Fill the Captcha code and click on Keyword Suggestion. You will see a list of keywords that related to your first keyword. You will see that the competition of BLOGSPOT TUTORIAL keywords is to fierce for a new blog. Try to choose other keywords with the lowest competition but still have a good enough search volume. It’s better for you to start with the lowest competition level, then slowly but sure you climb up by the number of visitor. If you can take a lot of visitor to your blog, you’ll see that you can aim a new keyword with higher competition level. In this tutorial, let’s consider that the keyword you choose is “BLOGGER MANUAL”2.Choose your URL address that suits with your keywordsFor example…if it’s possible …why don’t you use this URL … http://blogger-manual.blogspot.com3. Choose Blog Title that suitable for your blogFor example…use this title…”Blogger Manual for Blogspot”4. Use title tag in your html Use title tag that contain the combination of your keywords, if it’s posibble…use 7-10 words as your title. For example …. Blogger manual | blogspot tutorial for newbiea title tag should seen like thisyou can put this tag right under the tag in your LAYOUT — EDIT HTML page5. Use meta tag in your HTMLmeta tag is a code that contain the summary of your blog data. There are meta description, meta keywords, & meta author that you should optimize….6. Use your keyword in your posting title7. Use your keywords in your articles and spread those keywords at the first sentences, and the last sentences. Don’t forget to add your keywords each 2-3 paragraphs.8. It’s better for you, if your main column (the place where your article displayed) float at the left side. It’s because the spider will crawl your page from the top left to the botom right. If you put your main column at the right, then the spider will crawl your sidebar and each navigation links inside your sidebar, before it arrives to your article. Your competitor will left you behind. You may say like this “O yeah, than why there is a left float main column website defeated by the center or right float main column websites?” Simple,….It’s because the off-page factor that we should talk later.If it’s possible…it will be better if you put your keywords at the end of your page or right in the footer of your webpage.If you do this, then you can boost your position up to 400 positions. If you were in the 1200 , now you may hit to the 800th position….. Now, you may already bend your face and say “Yeah, and what does it use for?” I’ll say “Nothing,…it still can’t help you” you have to complete the OFF-PAGE optimization to be the king of the Search Engine Result Page….Oh, and what is off-page optimization? Simple, it’s all about everything that you can do to promote your blog.1. Increase the number of your visitors. You can do blogwalking to invite people. Or do some promotion in facebook, to invite people visit your blog2. Build links to your blog. But before you do a link building process, you should know the type of links:a. Link from shoutbox….it has no credit for youb. Link from Comment box… it has credit if the blog has relevant content to your blogc. Trackback link….It’s a link that appear if you review any webpage in your blog and leave your link at the comment column of the webpage. It has more credit than a common link from the comment boxd. Reciprocal link is a kind of links that appear if you do some link exchange. It has a very good credit if both of the oage has relevant content. But, has no credit at all if they don’t have any relevant contente. One way link…. If you have one way link that is directed to your blog, then it will be the most perfect link you can haveSo what is the criteria of a good link?1. It connects the relevant pages2. It comes from a higher Pagerank page3. It’s a one way linkAt this poin, is there any conclusion you get? Well, my blogger manual will continue with the biggest question mark….”HOW CAN I GET THOSE BACKLINKS?”It’s quite simple, but I tell you that it won’t be easy at all. Your solution is to send a request message to every webmasters that you want to ask for a backlinks. The badnews is A high pagerank Webmaster will be very selective to accept any link exchange offer. It’s because…if they make a bad decision of which page should be connected to their website. It can kill their pagerank instantly. Let’s consider like this if you accept to link your blog to other website … and you don’t know that the website has been banned by google….than you will take a risk to be banned also by Google. Or at least Google will penalize your blog by reducing your pagerank 1 or 2 points. Well, It’s still the basic knowledge, but I thinks it’s enough for you to develop your SEO skill by following this short blogger manual. If you have any question….feel free to visit blogger manual. And you can contact me at contact form that I have provide for you. —-THE END OF BLOGGER MANUAL – SEO SUMMARY —

Tip #1: Write about what you know

Visitors to your blog are only interested in your blog if your blog has interesting content.  Do you stay intrigued in a website if the content is boring?  And what better way to make content more exciting than to add content about a topic you know?  If you know a lot about motorcycles, start a block about it.  Topics can include changing the carburetor or redoing the chrome on the headlights.  If the topic is something you know, your writing will flow more naturally and hence read more naturally to visitors.  The content will also be more informative and intelligent. 

Tip #2 – Stay on topic

Using the motorcycles, your blog should not stray from motorcycle related issues.  Do not start talking about the latest real estate news or golf carts.  Talk strictly about motorcycle topics.  Google AdSense parses the keywords in your blog and uses those keywords to place ads on your blog that are relevant to the content.  The aim is to get visitors to click those ads.  You want motorcycle readers to click ads on motorcycle topics.  Cross topics, such as mixing motorcycle content with real estate and golf carts will result in ads that cover all three or public service ads that pay nothing.  Keeping the topic centric on one topic will result in relevant ads.

Tip #3: Quantity over quality?

This may seem counterintuitive.  You want visitors to be interested in your site because the content is great.  So quality is important, right?  But, in order to get visitors, the quantity of content should be large meaning more keywords detected by search engines, which translates to higher spots in search results, right?  Well, yes, they are both right.  The ideal situation is a lot of high quality content.  Although this is not entirely possible all the time, you must have a high quantity of content on your blog because the more content means the more searchable material from search engines.  There is a balance that must be met.

Tip #4: Recycle

No news is good news.  No news really means nothing new to post on your blog.  You do not necessarily need to keep posting new content.  That is the perfect circumstance, but there is also a lot of information available on almost every topic ever written on the Internet.  Taking that content, rewording it and posting it on your blog is recycling.  It is not actually new content, just recycling old content and making it look new.  That takes some writing skill but can be learned after practice.  That way, you blog will have the appearance of new material and hopefully keep your visitors coming into the future.

Tip #5: Post on a regular schedule.

Our posts have a schedule written on them, usually an “updated every week” bulletin.  And guess what?  We stick to it.  There may not always be new content for such a posting schedule, so you can use the recycling idea.  While a weekly schedule is hard to keep (everyone has a family), when you stick to a schedule, visitors can really on updated blog content, and they will return more frequently to your blog, increasing the likelihood of an AdSense click.

Tip #6: Be clear and simple

This is more of a know you audience concept.  If talking about motorcycles, using motorcycle jargon is okay.  Make your content understandable.  Use easy to understand words, and make the format user friendly.  You are talking to a large and varied audience, and it should not require an advanced engineering degree from MIT to read a blog.  We have seen highly intelligent people be confused over blogs that contain simple topics because the blog was written in a confusing manner, overly wordy, or weirdly formatted.  The goal is to get a click, and having a confusing blog will ensure visitors/clickers will not return.

Tip #7: Keywords, keywords, keywords

Google parses through the blog’s content to not only find relevant ads to put on the blog but also to rank the blog in its search results.  If your blog is about motorcycle repair, the keyword set “motorcycle repair” should be mentioned at minimum three times every blog post.  Google will see the density of those keywords and associate your blog with motorcycle repair sites and include the blog with other motorcycle repair sites or blog when returning search results.  This will drive traffic to your blog.

Tip #8: Check your blog for spelling and grammatical errors

All modern word processing software include spell checkers.  Many blog sites, including Blogger.com and WordPress.com , also have spell checkers.  We admit that we are not the best spellers, but considering the availability of spell checking tools, there is no reason to have misspelled words on your blog.  Checking for grammar may be more difficult, but if you have questions, copy your blog into a word processing program and run a grammar checker.  Then repost the grammatically correct blog.  Having bad spelling and poor grammar shows a lack of care for your blog and, quite honestly, stupidity.  No one wants to read a blog laden with misspelling and poor grammar.

Tip #9: Multiple blogs

Publishing multiple blogs increasing visitor traffic and AdSense clicks.  You do not want to post multiple blogs using the same exact content, but you can publish multiple blogs using recycled content.  However, your multiple blogs of the same content should not be on the same blogging site.  Publish one on Blogger.com and another on WordPress.com.  Publish a third to another blogging site.  And, include a link in each blog to the others.  It will increase backlinks to your site, therefore increasing page rank, as well as traffic.

Tip #10: Why should I come back?

Getting one visitor to your site is great.  Getting two visitors even better.  Getting those two visitors to come back is excellent.  You want repeat visitors, because they are more likely to spread the news about your blog, increasing traffic.  What does it take to get repeat traffic?  How about an RSS feed?  Or another subscription list?  It takes a combination of the tips mentioned above as well as utilizing other methods mentioned on this site to drive traffic to your blog.  Traffic is the only way to get clicks on your AdSense ads, and you want traffic.

I started blogging for personal reasons: to keep in touch with long distant friends and relatives. Then I added a Q&A blog (http://thedabblingmum.blogspot.com) for my magazine (http://thedabblingmum.com) to host interviews I conduct with authors and entrepreneurs. Now I get paid to ghostwrite for blogs and you can too!

Tip #1

Understand the industry you want to be paid to blog for.

Let’s assume you enjoy health and nutrition and have read up on this topic for years. In fact, you know many facts and “insider secrets” by heart and often share this information with friends, relatives, and strangers in your local health food store. That’s a topic you could easily be paid to write about. Because of your vast knowledge, the posts will come easy and when they don’t you’re magazine subscriptions will offer plenty of food for thought.

Tip #2

Never accept a non-compete contract.

As a blog writer, you will make your living writing for various blogs. A non-compete clause will prevent you from writing about the same topic on another blog and that’s not good for business.

As a health and nutrition specialist, you may write for a vegetarian blog, a holistic treatment blog, a vitamin company’s blog, and even a diet blog. There’s no competition there, right? And no “conflict of interest”, correct? The non-compete clause won’t even apply.

But what if you’re asked to write for another vegetarian blog? That’s when the non-compete clause kicks in and prevents you from earning a better living. Is there really a conflict of interest? Not if you don’t post the same information on both blogs. You can write for five different vegetarian blogs and still not show a conflict of interest. It’s all about choosing a different angle on the same idea and writing about it.

Tip #3

Never rely on revenue sharing as your sole source of income.

You’re job as a blog writer is to write about topics relevant to the blog’s theme and interact with commenters. Your job isn’t to market and advertise the blog. That’s the company’s job. If the company isn’t pulling its weight, the ad revenue will not exist and if the ad revenue doesn’t exist, neither does your salary. It’s best to be paid a flat fee, but if the company you truly want to work for only pays in ad revenue, negotiate a monthly stipend plus a percentage of the ad revenues.

If you’re going to get paid based on ad revenue or clicks, and you’re job is to also promote and market the blog, you should start your own blog. That way, you get to keep all the income you earn and don’t have to share the revenues with a company who isn’t doing anything to help promote the blog—aside from hosting (which you can get for as little as $7 a month and free if you stick to blog networks.)

Tip #4

Get paid in advance.

Negotiate a contract to get paid at the beginning of the month for that month’s blogging. That way, you will never be out money for a project you’ve completed. And remember, if the company can pay the web host, the electricity bill, the web designer, the internet provider, and so forth, the company can afford to pay you!

Tip #5

When writers’ block hits, to a search online.

Sometimes bloggers get what’s known as “writers’ block”. Writers’ block simply means you’ve run out of ideas to write about. It happens to the best of us, but it doesn’t have to hurt your career as a blogger for hire. When writers’ block occurs, get online and search for blogs, websites, and forums related to your blog’s topic. After a half hour to an hour of reading, you’ll have plenty of ideas to write about.

Have you been bitten by the blogging bug like millions of others in this world? Then, you must undertake treatment straightway by publishing your first blog entry. In order to make the treatment more responsive, you need to have certain supplements such as quality and interesting content with an eye-catching title and a blogging space to post your content. Wannabe bloggers with limited or no computer knowledge face difficulty in creating their first blog on the Internet, though they have their content ready. For their convenience, some easy-to-understand tips are mentioned below.

· Resort to major search engines like Google, Yahoo or MSN to look for free blogging websites or services. Initially, a free service can serve your purpose well. WordPress, Blogger and Blogspot are some of the popular free blog sites. However, there are hundreds of other websites that offer you free blog space.

· Register the name of your blog that is quite unique and attention-grabbing. But, be careful about using exaggerated words. Philosophically correct words can do the trick.

· Make use of the built-in blog templates offered by the website or create your own, if you’re not interested in free-for-alls.

· Invest a good amount of time in designing your blog template from the scratch. Stay away from potential disturbing factors like children, neighbors, pets etc. Microsoft FrontPage is an effective tool to aid in your design.

· After getting your template ready, the next important task is to upload it to your new blog’s URL address. Make sure that it is loaded properly with all your necessary features.

· Now make an auspicious beginning by clicking on the ‘Create Post’ link on your blog. The window will reload to come up with a number of text boxes to fill in.

· Put your fingers into operation on the keyboard to insert your first blog post information like post title, summary, body etc. If your content is yet to be written, you can look around to find great post ideas. You can go down the memory lane to write about a particular incident or event that is worth-mentioning.

· Once you make your first blog entry, waste no time to let your friends and family members know about your blog URL. This act is quite helpful as it brings your initial readers.

· While posting your first blog entry, you might have come across a text box called ‘Tags’ where you can put in a number of keywords related to your post. Visitors can get to know about your post if they use these keywords while searching for information over the Internet. This brings more traffic to your blog.

· If you own a website that deals in a specific product or service, you can promote it through your blog. Write relevant posts highlighting your product or service. Don’t forget to link keywords to your website in the post body. Put only an appropriate number of links in the body.

· Links can be easily put by selecting a particular word and then clicking on the ‘link’ button above the ‘body’ text box. A small dialog box will appear with the selected word. Simply put your website URL e.g. http://www.xyz.com/ in the appropriate box and you’re done.

These are the simple steps you can take to create your first blog and first blog entry. The successful posting of one entry can definitely allure you to add more posts to your blog. Blogs are now a powerful medium to express your views, ideas and opinions. They can also promote your business in a big way. So, HAPPY POSTING!!!

To enrich your knowledge on blogging as well as other intriguing topics such as CSS, Web Design, AJAX and Web Applications, you can visit the popular informative website – http://www.css-faq.com/ that contains plenty of articles, news and videos.

As you know, blogging is one of the best ways to increase traffic flow to your new online business website (“Um, what’s blogging?” – if you don’t know much about writing blogs, please read this article first.) Once you write your first entry, you start wondering, what is the best place to post a blog? What are the top blog sites that could aid the marketing of your online business?

Here is a list of the best free blog web-sites that I use myself and recommend to my team members:

“Oh no!” – you say. – “So many sites to sign up for! I hate that!” No worries – I recommend you use the free version of the software called Roboform (http://www.roboform.com/) for all of your Internet sign-ups. Roboform fills out your forms automatically with a push of a button, which reduces your sign-up time to a few seconds per website.

Generally, it’s good not to make your blog sound too promotional, with no more then 2 links to any one web-site per entry, but WordPress and Hubpages are especially strict when it comes to blog content. Make sure you don’t put anything that sounds like a “direct sell” onto those websites – otherwise your entries will get deleted and your account could get suspended.

If you like to write your entries in Word Document and then post them to the blog web-sites, make sure you preview your blogs before posting them. Blogs imported from Word tend to show up with a bunch of gibberish HTML codes, visible on top of the page. You would have to go to the blog edit window, and remove those manually. Once you post your entry on one of the websites I would recommend to copy and paste it from that site for when you start putting your blog on others. That way, you will be rid of the Word HTML codes forever.

Posting your blog manually to all of the above web-sites will take anywhere from an hour to 3 hours, depending on how fast you can work. My team and I have cut our posting time to 30-45 minutes, using a great free blog disseminator (a service which auto-posts blogs to various web-sites for you). I strongly recommend blog disseminators to anyone who values their time.

A quick note about the disseminators: they don’t auto-post blog tags – only the body of the blog – so make sure you put your tags underneath every entry. I advise my team against using simple one or two-word tags, the reason being, that they act as keywords for search engines and if they are too general, your posting will not get nearly as much traffic. For example, try googling the keywords “blogging”, “blog” or “online business”. There are millions of search engine results for each of them. What is the chance that YOUR blog will show up on the first page?

Instead, try using longer tags. Think of something an actual person would search for in Yahoo! or Google. For example, good keywords/tags for this particular blog are:

Where to post a blog, best websites to post a blog, top blog sites, top blog web-sites, the best place to post a blog, marketing a new online business, online business marketing, blogging for a new business, writing a blog for a new business, how to post a blog, new online business marketing tips, best free blog sites, best free blog websites

If you haven’t yet joined an online business opportunity, make sure you ask your team leaders for help with blogs, as they are extremely important to your development as a marketer. For example, I provide my team with links to various blog directories and with detailed tips on how to avoid common blogging mistakes. Remember that the more blogs you write, the more people will go to your website. I would recommend writing a blog every other day for the first month after your start/join an opportunity.

I hope this was helpful to you! I wish you best of luck in your blogging endeavors.

Here’s how to get the most from your blog.There’s more to blogging than you think.

Have you started a brand new blog and you are wondering why nobody is visiting your blog, even though you have been dutifully posting content on a regular basis? You see, your blog is like any regular website – you need to get the word out that your blog is online before anyone will start visiting your blog. The best advice I can give you is to do the SEO part of your blog right. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Most blog software like WordPress is already search engine optimized. That means with minimal tweaks, your blog is already search engine friendly. What is challenging for most bloggers is that they find it hard to build inbound links. Inbound links is a big part of SEO. These are links that are pointing to your blogs from external sites. They can come from other websites, blogs, forums, web directories, etc. But since you have no control over these blogs, you must have a strategy to somehow get others to link to you. Now there are many link building methods that you may wish to try out. One link building method that is gaining popularity quickly is Blog Content Syndication. Blog content syndication works in a similar fashion as article marketing. The idea is to contribute to other blogs, and in exchange for the content, you will get 2 or 3 inbound links. These links can be anywhere within the content, with your target keywords. Your target keyword phrase is very important. For instance, if you are aiming to get better rankings for “Blog Promotion”, then your anchor texts should be “Blog Promotion”, and not “Click Here”, or “Visit Website”. Anchor texts are the texts within your links. Many new bloggers believe that once they build the blog, the visitors will come. So they keep adding new content regularly, firmly believing that fresh content will attract the attention of the search engines and flood their blogs with tons of traffic. It wouldn’t take long for them to realize that it’s not going to happen. A new blog, like any new website, has to be promoted for it to start receiving traffic. When it comes to blog promotion, there are many ways of doing it. A blogger can try to network with other bloggers, submit some quality articles, or promote the blog on a bunch of web directories. All these methods involve link building. The key idea here is to build as many inbound links as possible so that (1) the links will send traffic directly, and (2) the blog will start to rank well in the search engines. All the major search engines pay a lot of attention to inbound links. However, do be careful not to get your blog associated with low quality websites. That may hurt your blog instead of helping with the rankings. Today, more and more bloggers are turning to what is know as Blog Content Syndication. The idea of posting content on other blogs is not new. You can post your links on other blogs by blog commenting, or by being a guest poster. You may even buy a blog post. A paid blog post is when you pay a blogger to include an article with links pointing to your own blog. Blog Content Syndication works in a similar fashion as article marketing. The concept is simple enough – get your content out to as many relevant blogs as possible. That will help drive targeted traffic to your blog, and help you achieve the search engine rankings that you want.
