The Bloggers Are NOT Webmasters!

T his post is not meant to be an insult but a simple statement covering generalities. While more and more webmasters starting to realize incredible power that blog platforms offer, in general majority of Bloggers are content creators. And it’s a good thing! People share their passion and deliver their message to the world, some simply more successful then others. But this also means leaving out some of the fundamentals of website building that greatly impact your success or failure. In this post I want to talk about link building and some of the fundamental differences used by blogs and regular websites. I also want to discuss some of the ways we, as Bloggers can address and improve on it. I will only speak on most common and generic techniques and not try to cover the full spectrum of this very large [tag-tec]seo[/tag-tec] subject. Traditional Websites rely mainly on separate site sections containing links to other partner sites and build linking strategy around exchanging links with...

Making Sense Of Google AdSense

A dSense is one of the most common ways for bloggers to earn from the blog – but should YOU use it? Or the variation of the question I receive on regular bases – “ why don’t you use AdSense on your blog? ” Answer to this one simple and complex at same time and perhaps by providing it here I will save myself some time answering it and help you determine if you should use AdSense on your blog… What Is Right For You? And by that question I mean – what is Most Desired Action on your blog? Answer the question above for yourself and you will be one step closer to deciding if AdSense should be used on your blog or not. Because I’m not advocating NOT to use – I’m simply trying to say here that AdSense or any other text ads are not right for every blog… If you simply blog for fun or share information you know much about and have no other “ alternative motive ” then perhaps you should start implementing those ads ASAP. …but if you are using your blog to share your knowledge AND in process esta...

Characteristics of Good Domain Names

Image
D omain names are the real estate of the Internet. Just as a good location is vital for a bricks and mortar business, a good domain name will be the corner stone of your website’s success. But how to identify them? Below you will find the 7 characteristics of good domain names. 1. They are short Good domain names are short. It is not a coincidence that all the three-letter and four-letter .com domains are already gone, and that the five-letter ones are going fast as well. There is no definite number of characters that you should aim for, just remember that the shorter the better. If you really need some guidance, try to go below 10 characters, and never exceed 20. As for the number of words, one-word domains are gold, two-word ones are good, three-word domains are average, and above that it is usually a bad idea.

4 Easy Steps to Increase Your Blog Traffic

O ne of the most common complaints that I hear from bloggers is the fact that no matter how hard they try, they can’t grow their blogs past 200 or so daily page views. Those early days are indeed the hardest, because you need to put hard work in without the certainty of achieving results.   If you are in that same situation, here is a simple strategy that will certainly increase your blog traffic and make you break the 1,000 daily page views mark. In fact, the strategy could be used even if your are already over that number but have reached a traffic plateau lately. Just make sure to execute the 4 steps as planned and to spend the two hours and a half every day (obviously if you have more time available you can expand the time spent on each of the four steps proportionally). First Step: The Killer Articles (1 hour/day) Spend one hour brainstorming, researching and writing killer articles (also called linkbaits, pillar articles and so on). Notice that your goal is to release one ki...

A Real Model's Diet - the Inside Skinny

Image
The Supermodel Diet …  It’s not all about cutting carbs, starving or cabbage sou p. M any people ask me how models stay skinny?  Convinced of some supermodel secret to dieting, everyone wants the short cut. Truth is, there is none. Some women, believe it or not, really don’t have to obsess over their weight. However, I have noticed some commonalities to the way my model friends eat that I want to share with you because models aren’t the only ones who like to look thin.  Adhere to a Routine.  Models tend to eat the same thing every day for breakfast. One of my best skinny model friends has a bowl of hot oatmeal, raisins and skim milk … EVERY SINGLE MORNING! This makes choosing what to eat a no-brainer and takes the variable of adding in extra calories out of the equation. Brown bag your lunch. If you are grabbing something on the go, when ordering out do it the model way: Linda Evangelista has been quoted saying, “ I don’t diet. I just don’t eat as much as I’d li...
