Google Chrome Impressions
September 12, 2008
Using and testing Google Chrome for a week now, I can confirm it’s really fast. Google Chrome is opening sites much faster especially Websites that I have already visited. 1-2 seconds and kaboom, the whole page is opened. Though blogs (like mine as well) need a little bit more time, probably because of all plugins and widgets. Speed is advantage, but I have to stress a problem.

Increase Blog Traffic
July 11, 2008
„ A great site without traffic is like owning a beautiful huge store in the middle of nowhere! “
Yes, it’s MUCH about getting traffic to the web site. I am not saying it’s all about it, because you need quality content to offer as well. You see, website owner can deliver wonderful idea, amazing products, but without traffic, his business is death. So, let me say again….ITS MUCH ABOUT TRAFFIC!!! You can have fancy landing page, even forum for your website, or whatever, but without traffic, you are without a business. How to increase and get constant traffic to the blog?
If you’re just starting, you should know that blogging is a great way to increase traffic. When you are writing on a regular basis your blog will drive traffic automatically (ping and posts submission to RSS Directories). And besides that automation here are few good ways to promote your blog:
First, blog SEO
Vitally important is to optimize properly your blog for search engines. If you are new to this, I have made a weblog post how to avoid mistakes and avoid losing SEO page rank. Also I recommend putting related images to every post. You see, images are totally different type of promotion and traffic, because Google and other engines are using particular robots only for “alternative text” behind images. Discover here how properly to optimize images for your blog, and to increase traffic that way. Don’t forget to submit your blog to Google, Yahoo and MSN (although if your blog is totally new, maybe is better to wait month or two, until there is some content on the website). And above averting, if you’re using WordPress as a publishing platform or just starting with blogging watch my free WordPress SEO video tutorials (you will see which plugins are important for SEO optimization, correct permalink structure and similar matter with purpose to increase blog traffic).
Second, Article Submission
To article directories you can submit blog posts, but its better if you spin a little those articles or submit completely new. Why would you do that? Quite simple, in the submitted article, you will include a link to your web site. Submitted to many directories you are getting many backlinks and it will boost your search engine
ranking. Also it will provide direct traffic from people who visits those article directories.
Here are some major directories to submit your articles to:
Article marketing is a proven way to get traffic. It needs some time to provide results, but eventually, if done correctly and often, it will substantially increase traffic to the site.
Third, blog communities:
These sites are great way to connect with other bloggers and to use them in promotional marketing. Use tags to find your market.
Fourth, blogging traffic exchanges:
(You place widgets on your blog sidebar pointing to other blogs, and at the same time, the other bloggers are aiming to your blog).
These websites can drive traffic away from your blog, but at the same time will drive to it. Don’t worry, just concentrate on quality content. Find here some tips and techniques for making the content valuable. Also keep in mind that there is saying in internet marketing world regarding traffic “The more you send the more it returns to you”.
Anyway, these sites may not be an effective traffic generator for you. Test it. You won’t know unless you try it. If it doesn’t benefit you after a trial, you can always uninstall widgets.
Besides blogging exchanges, also common traffic exchanges, like Trafficswarm and Linkreferral, can increase traffic. They can be used for common website, but as well blog promotion.
This is end of the 6th step from How to create a successful blog. Happy blogging!
Make Money Blogging
July 11, 2008
You want to get rich quick, to make tons of money quickly? Great! You are on the right place, because in that case I want to tell you: „Go try with Lotto“! You may heard that there are people on the internet making millions of bucks. You heard well, but please realize they haven’t done that overnight. Behind those successes are good ideas, hard work and perseverance. But it’s the life, you know the story of your favorite sportsman and what he had to sacrifice until the success has arrived. Are you ready for that? Don’t get me wrong, I just want to warn you that blogging and particularly building online business is time-consuming.
So if you are starting with blog monetization right now, just few notes. Don’t blog just to blog, pick the topic on something you’re passionate about. The topic you’re confident to build business around. The topic you want to blog it anyway, for enjoy, not money, and the cash will probably come. So, blog about the topic where you can provide a value and good information to readers. Find your passion, and see is there money in the market. If there is no money in the market, then know it in advance.
In any case…persist. Persist to CRAP, which means Criticism-Rejection-Assholes-Pressure. On this topic watch this movie and see the point of these words.
Monetization options
The most important in monetizing and online business building is to have a plan. In essence, consider this before you go further: What can I offer to thrill people? -> How I offer it? -> How I can make it profitable?
The best way to make money online is to have own products. Of course, there are also alternatives. If you are promoting affiliate programs, then it’s better to create an expert website around particular topic, made full with beneficial information, in front of your selected affiliate links (rather than splashing around all different types of affiliate programs. There are always new advertisement sharing and affiliate programs, so feel free to explore. Here is just a quick list of advertisement sharing programs to start you off:
1.Advertisement revenue sharing programs:
- Google Adsence – ad revenue sharing - old timer in this field,
- Chitika – reliable ad revenue sharing, on the market since 2003,
- Text-Link-Ads – besides the site they monetize your RSS feeds,
- Pay Per Play – new kid in the block, but innovative where you get paid for audio ads playing on your site.
2. Only for bloggers:
- get paid to blog about other companies. On the network you apply for the opportunity to blog about, while accepting the advertiser prize (usually you can get 5-10$ per post). This kind of posting is not seen as a value at Google, so you should know that it can harm your Search Engines Page Rank. However Page Rank is not the most important matter, and if you are choosing this monetization option, its quite ok.
This is end of the 5th step from How to create a successful blog. Happy blogging!
Perfect Articles Writing Trick!
July 11, 2008
You’ve probably heard it, the known phrase, ‘content is king’. Fine, if content is king then how the heck can we increase the quantity of content and actually produce constant documents for our web sites? I mean we’ve all been there, writing article after article in purpose for submitting and posting to our sites, blogs or article directories. And the more we write the less enthusiastic we start to become about creating a successful online business. We have to face it, writing needs time. On the other hand, as web site owners and publishers we need constant fresh content. So, how can we bypass the one thing that all internet marketers hate doing?
This is the 2nd step from web site and blog content tips, so lets see where is the content solution.
How important is constant web site content?
Well, here’s the true. At Alexa.com (web sites traffic information company) you can check top 500 global web sites, top 100 by country or browse through top traffic sites by category. Now, pay attention. What’s common for most of these top ranked web sites is a large number of pages. There are sites with hundred thousands even millions of pages. If you don’t see correlation between large content and traffic just continue reading.
Since setting up a blog is not a pain, let me show you how blogging can be useful in driving constant traffic to the site. If you already have own blog, then you probably know that with every new article you bring out, its actually opportunity for people all over the world to find your weblog content. A single page of content you write and publish provides many different ways for someone to find it. And if you are checking your web stats, then you already know that you are getting traffic from keywords that you didn’t try to optimize for. This is just happening naturally, i.e. people are finding long tail phrases that weren’t your primary goal for that article. Well, by having a lot of different pages it increases your chances to get ranked for all different phrases. Okay, you can see the correlation among large number of documents and traffic, and the blog is probably the best way to put that content online.
So, if you’re really serious about running an online business, and if you’re serious about generating a lot of traffic you absolutely need to provide constant content on a regular basis. And don’t be afraid if you’re not a good writer or simply you lack the time, because there is a solution. The solution is to hire someone to do the job for you. Even if you’re confident with writing you probably cannot provide needful number of documents by yourself. Quite simple, the solution is in using private label articles.
PLR articles are solution!
If you haven’t heard about PLR (private label rights) articles then it’s basically this – content that someone else has been writing for you, and you are able to take and use those documents as your own. Those articles you can submit to article directories, post on your web site, blog, put in an email series or any other method where you need content. From the moment you take documents they are your private and you can do whatever you want with them (rewrite, cut them or post it entirely).
So where is it? Where can you go to find a whole bunch of documents to use as your own? First let’s see what private label content isn’t. The option of taking content from the many article directories out there is possible, but it’s NOT PLR. There is one thing that limits this method and that is the fact that you cannot rewrite articles from article directories. You are required to add the author’s name that comes attached to the article you want to use. This means their link will also have to appear on your page. The other disadvantage is the fact, hundreds if not thousands of other marketers out there would be doing exact the same thing. Having the same page on your site as thousands of other people makes it incredibly hard to rank in the search engines.
So what’s the other option? The other option would be to pay for your PLR content, services which are providing you constant content for your web site. There are many services that offer content to their members. This usually means you’ll have to share the content with a limited number of people. However there are some things you need to look out for.
First, how many people will have access to the same content as you? If the service you are looking at requires you to share their content with a thousand other members, then what’s the point? In that case, you may go out and grab content from article directories.
Secondly, work out how much you’ll be paying per article. If a membership cost $100 and in that membership you’re going to have access to two hundred articles that would mean the cost per article is going to be $0.50. Therefore a membership that offered 400 articles would make the cost per article half of that.
Who is the best PLR Articles Provider?
You can do a Google search, and you can discover many cheaper PLR services, but they are also less generous in content delivery. We know that the more is better, but we have to pay attention that its not quantity so much as it is a quality. You need both, lot of documents, but it has to be good stuff. So my recommendation
is PLRpro. Why are they special? Here’s a basic overview of what a PLRPro membership contains:
- 440 articles across 11 niches (40 articles in each niche);
- SEO optimized articles;
- Full keyword research in each niche;
- Affiliate lists for each niche;
- Header Graphics for each niche;
- 5 Website Templates each month;
- Articles done in 8 languages;
- 50 PR4 sites that you can get links from to get your sites indexed and crawled.
See for yourself PLRpro is solid company, the Worlds #1 PLR content provider, and they have very well reputation not just because of the quality they bring to the table in regards to PLR articles, but also because of the additional education and material that they provide for free.
Oh, one tip for the end…these PLR articles you do not want to use just for your website. They are your own content, so submit it to article directories, too. This way, people who find your article useful for their site, will have obligation to include your name as an author and your site link. This is constant traffic source, and it’s much better situation from opposite when you’re the one who is going to article directories to pick documents. As a writer you control the situation!
