12 ways To A Better Website or blog.
2007-05-01 10:27:00
1. Know Your Target Audience Before any development can take place you must know your viewers browsing habits. It is critical to your website?s success that it reflect the values of your viewers. If your target market is the affluent business professional then it should reflect that with a clean easy to navigate and read design. If your website?s viewers are younger adults then a more relaxed and informal look may be acceptable. The key is to know your market and build accordingly. It?s your target audience that dictates the design of your site- not you. 2. What?s the Theme of Your Site Your website should have a clear and decisive theme. A viewer should know exactly what your website is all about after reading the first paragraph of the index page. If you are selling a product or service it should be evident within the first30 seconds what that product or service is. If your business offers multiple products, it?s best to dedicate a unique page for each product rather than try to...

What Are Spam Blogs?
2007-05-01 10:14:00
As with many powerful tools, blogging services can be both used and abused. The ease of creating and updating webpages with Blogger has made it particularly prone to a form of behavior known as link spamming. Blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site. Spam blogs cause various problems, beyond simply wasting a few seconds of your time when you happen to come across one. They can clog up search engines, making it difficult to find real content on the subjects that interest you. They may scrape content from other sites on the web, using other people's writing to make it look as though they have useful information of their own. And if an automated system is creating spam posts at an extremely high rate, it can impact the speed and quality of the service for other, legitimate users.Source:blogger help

Why Blogs Have Become So Popular?
2007-04-30 18:24:00
It seems that blogs have come to the daylight just a few years ago. But in reality, it?s nothing new. Webmasters were using blogs for many years. The buzz started recently, because a few internet marketers discovered that it?s a great way to make money with blogs and started telling and selling another ?how to blog? product to the rest of the world. Now, blogs have really started dominating the web. As some researches say, the popularity of blogs is going to increase in the next few years and even more people will start making blogs.There are actually few reasons why blogs are so popular now. First of all, they are search engine friendly. As long as posts are made very often and regularly, search engines spider them and index them very often. Second of all, it?s very easy to set up a blog. Lots of folks who don?t have a website want to get one. But they face a major problem. They don?t know HTML and how to create a website. Blogs eliminate this problem entirely.You can set up a blog...

What Makes a Successful Blog?
2007-04-30 18:22:00
I have just searched for the title of this post in Google. It returned 329 results. Some of them align partly well with what I am going to write. Others simply offer tips to do more specific things with your blog, namely increasing traffic, feed subscriptions, how to write regular content easily, and so on. So, what makes a blog successful? Here?s my take on it from another perspective. Just like a goal or generally life, you?ve got to have a purpose ? a measurable milestone to cearly define what is success and otherwise. Having a successful blog is no different. As we know, there are many different uses of a blog. An individual may consider a blog successful if s/he is able to publish his/her daily public journal to the blog. In that case, a blog has been successfully established once s/he can easily make his/her thoughts available on the web. That aside, even if we narrow the context to just small business blogging, as this blog implies, still you have to clearly define your purp...

8 ways to make money online
2007-04-29 11:44:00
Lately, i have been searching for better ways of website monetization. I think Google Adsense alone is not good enough. It is normal to chase for more online earning, right? I have found a few ways of monetization, but almost all of them doesn?t sound too good, unfortunately.1. Contextual Advertising. The best of these services seem to be offered by Google, with their Adsense program and by Yahoo, with YPN. Other services aren?t quite contextual and offer really low bids, in comparison with those. But, if you are banned by Adsense and outside US ( YPN allows only US Publishers ) you will have to choose from Clicksor or Bidvertiser, which seem to be the best, excluding Adsense and YPN.2. Affiliate Marketing. This means putting affiliate banners or links on your website and getting paid for lead or sale. For sales you will be paid a percentage of the sale or a fixed amount. Of course, for many sales and signups, you have to put ads related to your website?s content ( e.g. Don?t try to...

Design and Layout - Google ads? Affiliate Programs? Links to other sites an
2007-04-27 17:58:00
Design and layout seem easy with a blogger blog. You're able to choose from a number of templates and be up and blogging within 10 minutes. You can easily add page elements, ads, and links. That's the advantage of blogger for you, but it's very telling to your blog's readers. Most blog readers are bloggers themselves and they can tell from a mile away if you're serious or you're just playing around within 2 seconds of visiting your blog.How can these masters of the Internet tell if you're a serious blogger in such a short time? Simply by looking at the design and layout of your site, and the placement and number of ads you have posted. If you set your site up, chose a default template, threw in a few AdSense links, and left it alone, we know you are just playing at blogging. There is so much more you can easily do to put your personal mark on things and make your blog a great experience for readers.In the tips below, I'm going to stick with tools and tips that a non-programm...

Increase your techorati rank - Tip from www.earnersblog.com
2007-04-27 15:01:00
I found this on Earnersblog.comYesterday my Technorati rank was around 40,000, today it?s hovering at about 4,100. So how did I manage to increase 35,000 positions in just one day? Simple really. Potentially you have way more links out there than technorati gives you credit for. This probably goes for a lot of the guys that are in the top 100 aswell. I used Xenu to fully spider & grab all the URL?s from sites I knew had a Sitewide link to Earners Blog. I loaded all the URL?s into a text file & got rid of any externals. I then loaded the full list into the pinging tool that comes with Blogger Generator, fire the technorati ping server into it: http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping Then just let it run on the entire list. This technique increased my link count from 888 to 3,100 within the space of around 60 minutes. Why?s this important? Well, whilst having a high technorati rank isn?t overly important, it can help increase your value in Textlinkads & Reviewme. But for people who are...

Increase your techorati rank

First of all technorati ranks you on how many blogs link to your site. Potentially you have way more links out there than technorati gives you credit for. This probably goes for a lot of the guys that are in the top 100 as well. The HackFirst of all you need to find a site with site wide links to your site. this means that everyone of their pages links to your website. If your in a blog?s blogroll then you have sitewide links from his blog. Once you find a site use a program like Xenu to fully spider & grab all the URL?s from the site or sites that have a Sitewide link to your website.Then load all the URL?s into a text file & get rid of any external links. once you have done that load the full list into a pinging tool and ping the entire list to technorati. The Analogy Behind The HackWhen you Ping the list to technorati it makes them believe that each one of those urls is an individual blog and then credits you for the links.

What is Google Page Rank
2007-04-27 14:18:00
Google Page Rank is a numbering system that Google gives to your website based on a variety of different factors. It?s a fluid ranking, meaning that it can change from update to update, going up or down. It?s also a way that people judge your website, especially in the blogosphere. Unless you?re well known in blog town, your Page Rank is the quickest way someone will be able to tell if what you?re saying is worth their reading. From Google?s explanation page rank is PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page?s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves ?important? weigh more heavily and help to make other pages ?important Now that may seem a bit confusing at first look an...
