Update Penguin (Penguin) from Google: 5 types of problems that are harmful for websites

If you own a website, then surely you have been surprised to see that the position of your site dramatically decreased immediately after the release of Google Pack, codenamed Penguin? As shown earlier analysis, one of the main factors is the links leading to your website.
The main objective was to freeze the upgrade Penguin Web spam in search results Google. In addition to being a great piece of web spam, and links were with low-quality sites.

Natural links

First of all, Google considers links as "votes". So, in theory, the sites that get the most "votes" should be given the highest rating on Google, as more people find this a valuable resource.
Google analyzes the quantity, quality and relevance of the sites that link to your site. When Google looks at your profile link, it looks at what type of websites link to you how fast you are accumulating these links and anchor text (the combination of words to which you link), used referring website. When the algorithm of Google determines such things as a huge number of new options or as a disparity in the anchor text, he thinks of the sanctions.
How Google and many SEO-experts for many years taught us, you can get more options by creating a unique, authentic content, to which other people naturally want to refer.

Unnatural links

Sites that fall under the "punishment" after upgrading Penguin unites them is the lack of natural links. 5 major problems that are present in all sites in this category:

1. Paid up links with anchor text exactly match the key : the wish to promote your site on a particular key, there is only one way to move - buying links on other websites using the key exact match. Google determines that it is paid up links created just for the fraud-rated PR, rather than to provide valuable information to visitors.
   
2. Spam in the comments : The following two problems for sites that are trying to accumulate unnatural links on specific keywords crafty ways, are the captions in the comments, which contain the text of an exact match key, as well as in people who used the logins with the exact key.
   
3. Guest posts on questionable websites: guest posts, and although the permissible manner of use are the links to the site, updating Penguin subjected to punishment, even those sites that are referred to other sites with low quality content, which are more focused on the use of anchor text, rather than the provision of important information.
   
4. Catalogues Articles : lean content, containing links to the key as an exact match is another common factor.
   
5. Links to unsafe websites : if you have any incoming links from sites that were identified as malicious, sites with endless pop-up ads or sending out spam? This is another factor that led to the loss of the websites rankings in Google, so that links to and from spammers or "bad neighbors" are also dangerous.

Overall, the Penguin does not update brings changes that Google could be regarded as inappropriate. Google has implemented this algorithm just to catch hackers attempting tricky ways to get into the search results. If any (or all) items fit your case, you probably applied your efforts to obtain the rating is no longer enough.

How I Started Making $3,000 a Month Blogging About Travel

It has been about one full year since I started blogging about travel, and I have started to generate $3,000 or more a month via my travel blogs.

My very first post was published on May, 4th, 2010, and it was nothing but grammar mistakes and partaking in an activity that I really don’t enjoy: writing. I’m telling you this because even though I am a horrible writer, English os not my first language, and I need other people to proofread my work, I’m proof that you really don’t have to be the best at something in order to do make money via your blog. I have started to make at least $3,000 a month via my main travel blog, wanderingtrader.com.

Initially, I started my blog to capture traffic for a day trading business that I was running. I wanted to get more people interested in day trading and, well, get more sales. What it turned into was my own personal travel blog about my passion for travel, and tips about day trading and travel. My whole blogging strategy is based on exposure; you might have read my post about focusing on quantity of traffic instead of quality when you first start out.

There are a million posts on ProBlogger about making money blogging online and frankly almost everyone online makes money the same way. It seems there aren’t very many new ways that bloggers can make money from blogs. Darren wrote a great post on how bloggers make money from blogs if you are interested in learning your different options.

Instead of talking about ways to make money blogging I’m going to share how I managed to start making $3,000 a month via my travel blog in less than a year. I consider it ten months, really, since I took two months off when I got extremely frustrated by a small change in my blog design that crippled the traffic to my main blog. The list below is what I started focusing on, in order of importance.

There are some instances where you find advertisers, but for the most part advertisers find you.

Once you have the right criteria you are eligible for a range of money making options with your blog. The most important thing is getting your name out there. You want to try to focus on guest posts, SEO, and getting on every single blog list that’s related to your niche. The more people who see your blog, the more likely it’ll be that advertisers will find you as well. Below are some examples of the travel-related lists that my blogs are listed on on.

By working on exposure, authority will come naturally. You want to be careful how quickly you build your authority online, because you can’t become an expert in your niche if you only launched your website yesterday.

Creating solid authority for yourself, and advertisers will know that you have a website that is both legitimate and powerful in the niche you’re covering. If you achieve enough exposure, and have good authority, then you may be considered for things like a press trip. That’s a bonus that might be restricted to the travel niche, but you get the idea.

How we measure authority is something of a debatable issue, since most of the lists on the web have some kind of limitation. Either way, when I have asked people specifically about this they have repeatedly given me the same information:

As I explained earlier, there was a time when I got extremely frustrated and just gave up. A redesign to my blog caused me to take a giant hit from Google, and I was extremely annoyed. I just gave up!

If I didn’t take that two- or three-month break, I might have been on my way to making double what I make now. The tactics I’ve outlined so far helped me in the very first month that I started to make money with the blog. I’ve now nearly doubled my income using the strategies I’ll share below.

When you get started blogging, you have to understand that you are the new kid on the block. There are people I know personally who have been blogging for five to ten years, and I call these people the Rat Pack. They’re the cool kids on the block that you want to get to know and work with.

How did you feel when you met that new kid in your class back in school? The way for them to succeed was to avoid being pushy or asking for too much. They had to be part of the community.

I made the new-kid mistake of approaching people the wrong way, and asking for things I shouldn’t have. Luckily I had a few bloggers point me in the right direction, and that allowed me to get to where I am today. Be engaging, but not demanding. Be interested, but not needy. It’s all about being part of the community and not trying to force your way into the cool kids’ group.

By interacting with the Rat Pack, you’ll open yourself to an extensive group of people who already know how things work and can share best practices. Since these people already have exposure, that may allow you to take a shortcut when you are ready to start making money with your blog. By talking to other bloggers in the field, I went from zero advertisers to having a list of over 60. Use the tools above for exposure and authority to find the Rat Pack in your niche.

I’m busy, the guy at Mcdonald’s is busy, your kids are busy. I get it, you’re busy. When I first started blogging I was running a day trading business, traveling around the world, day trading, and running my blog. How did I handle all of this? I hired help. I found what now is a team of employees overseas that I pay to do a lot of the admin and back-office work for me.

The old adage is really true: it takes money to make money. While you may not have hundreds or thousands of dollars to invest in getting someone to help you, you may be able to afford, say, $100 a month. Understand that your time is money. By outsourcing mundane tasks—even if it’s just a few hours’ work a week—you will free up your time to do more important things, like creating quality content and thinking of better ways to make money with your blog.

The one goal I had for my blog was to break even. Any business or blog that you create should at least break even. You’re not going to be doing something for very long if you keep losing money. I pay a team of two people a total of $510 a month for roughly 45-50 hours a week of work. Just imagine the things I can accomplish during that timeframe!

After you have successfully started making money with one site, you can continue on to other ventures to increase your income and your online empire.

Think about expanding to other niches online. My main niche is travel which is absolutely massive. I now am branching out to my other passion, which is day trading. I have started an Online Day Trading Academy to help others, and now I can blog about day trading and travel across two sites, which will significantly increase my exposure online.

What about you? Are you making money from your blog yet? Which of these strategies do you use?

Guest Posting: Link Building VS Familiarity

I enjoy guest posting when I find the time as it allows me to write about subjects I can’t cover on my own websites. More importantly, it’s a great way of raising my profile, pushing traffic towards my websites and connecting with an audience that I have not had any dealings with as yet.

I’m sure you are all aware of the benefits of guest posting so I won’t speaking about that too much today. What I would like to do is compare the benefits of guest posting on a small selection of blogs and websites regularly against guest posting on new websites every week.

Obviously, it benefits you more to write on large traffic websites that have a large audience. That’s a no brainer. For the sake of argument though let’s assume that all websites you will be writing for will have the same traffic and give you and your website the same level of exposure.

So which do you think is better: Guest posting on a regular basis on 3 or 4 websites or writing a guest post every week for a new website (remember that we are assuming all websites have similar traffic levels etc)?

From a traffic point of view, guest posting on different URLs is better. It will increase your authority on search engines and raise awareness of you, your website or brand, as they will be exposed to a larger audience. The main objective with guest posting is primarily promoting yourself and your website so guest posting on a large number of websites is surely better, isn’t it?

My answer to that question would gear more towards yes. If I was employed by company to guest post online so that traffic was pushed to their new website then publishing 20 articles across 20 websites would likely bring more traffic than publishing them across 3 or 4 websites. However, there are benefits to guest posting regularly over a small number of websites and it’s something you should bear in mind when planning out your guest posting strategy.

Currently I guest post semi regularly for Blogging Tips, John Chow, ProBlogger and Noupe. I have guest posted on many other blogs over the last year or so but those are the websites I have published several articles on.

There are many reasons why I enjoy writing for a small selection of blogs:

I don’t waste a lot of time arranging guest posts

Arranging guest posts on new websites regularly can be time consuming. You need to email the owner, introduce yourself and explain why they should let you guest post. This process can involve a lot of back and fourths. Time is something I hold with high esteem when working online so I don’t take this added work lightly.

I have a good relationship with the owners and editors of the blogs I write for regularly. They are happy with the articles I write and publish them without modifying what I wrote. They are also very professional and quick to respond to my emails. When I want to write an article I email them with a suggestion, they usually email back quickly saying that they are happy with the article topic and then I email them the article. The process is painless.

I know the audience

When you write for a new blog you need to spend some time reading older articles on the site to get a feel for the type of content they publish and the type of content that gets a response. I have been a subscriber for the blogs I guest post regularly on for a long time so I know what type of article is suitable and what isn’t.

The audiance knows me

Guest posting isn’t all about getting a link back to your website at the end of an article. You need to connect with the readers of the blog you are writing for. By doing so they will be much more likely to visit your own blog and much more likely to subscribe.

One of the best ways of connecting with readers is by building familiarity. By posting on a regular basis they will get to know the type of person you are, the type of articles you write and find out more about the websites you run. A one off guest post can be a hit or a miss but if you write regularly for a blog you will be able to engage with readers. They might not agree with your viewpoint on one subject but they may on another.

I’ve not yet directly compared the benefits of guest posting on many websites against posting on a select few. Perhaps the best solution for those of you who do guest post a lot is to guest post on a small selection of blogs regularly in addition to guest posting on new blogs every now and then. Traffic is something that you will be able to monitor accurately though it would be interesting to see if you get more comments or tweets on the articles that are published on your ‘regular blogs’.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this subject.

5 Ways to Improve Your Writing and Become a Better Blogger

When it comes to being a better blogger and building a successful blog it is important for you to realize that your communications skills matter a lot. Working on improving your writing as a blogger can result in great rewards for you since writing is one of the major modes of communication for bloggers.

Whether you like it or not as a blogger you have to write everyday. Your writing can be in the form of articles on your blog, it can be in the forms of guest posts on other blogs, it can be in the form of your contribution on forums and it can be in the form of comments on other blogs. This article will be giving you a few tips to help you improve your writing and make you a better blogger.

1. Write Everyday

This can be something extremely difficult to do but is something that can help improve your writing significantly. While reading is one of the best ways to improve your writing skills it is very important for you to know that practice makes perfect, and no amount of reading will help make you better unless you start writing regularly.

Try to write at least one article everyday, no matter how short. You don’t need to publish that article, you don’t need to submit it as a guest post to another blog but writing constantly makes it easy for you to see what you’re doing wrong and as a result work on improving on it.

2. Read Everyday

Another way you can improve your writing as a blogger is by reading everyday. It doesn’t matter if it is a book, if it is a top blog in your niche or if it is comment made by your readers. You will be able to notice a significant improvement in your writing skills if you are able to read any good thing you lay your hands on. You shouldn’t be restricted to books or blogs in your niche alone, but anything that is written in the English language, and anything that is written by an author you trust.

3. Learn from the Leaders in Your Field

It is also very important for you to realize that, as a blogger, while reading a lot of great books and articles in magazines can help improve your writing, learning from the leaders in your industry can also have a significant impact on the results you get. The leaders in your niche have been blogging for years now, they have experience with writing for your field and they have improved their skills over time. By observing how they write and why they do so you’ll be able to develop your skills and write perfectly for your audience.

It is important to realize that you don’t just have to copy them blatantly though. The best way to build a successful blog is by being unique. Don’t try to be what you are not but make effective use of every opportunity to learn from others.

4. Write Your Mind

Another thing you should realize as a blogger is that the best way to succeed isn’t just to write, but to write well. Learning to write well isn’t just enough, but learning to write your mind might make a whole lot of difference.

In most cases a lot of people who read books today do so because it is necessary and in most cases it isn’t necessary for your readers to read your blog so don’t write like you are writing their next school book. One of the key to writing content that gets results as a blogger is by connecting to your readers emotions, and the best way to do this isn’t by trying  to write the next perfect article but by writing exactly what is on your mind.

The key to writing content that gets results isn’t to write the perfect content but to write to your true self. I have seen bloggers without perfect English get great results and I have seen people write posts with perfect grammar that goes nowhere. The reality is that if you learn to write your mind and do it regularly (tip #1), and you also follow the second tip in this article you will be able to improve your writing skills significantly.

5. Get Feedback

As bloggers and writers it can be quite easy to deceive ourselves with the hope that our writing is great when it indeed isn’t, it can also be easy for us to believe our writing sucks when it really doesn’t. When you do the same thing over and over again you get used to it and hardly notice the changes and writing shouldn’t be any different. The only way to know if your writing is improving isn’t just by writing and telling yourself it is, the best way to know if your writing is improving is by getting feedback. Try to get your readers to give you feedback about your writing. Try to get them to give your suggestions and over time work on writing the perfect article.

At the End of the Day, It’s Still About People

Sure, you want to make money. You want to make a lot of money. Maybe you’re doing all of these things to help you make money. But, you know what? Without people, there is no money. You absolutely cannot make money without people, unless you’re a bank robber, and I don’t suggest that.

Your online business is about people. It doesn’t matter how great your report is or your new product or your blog, if there’s no people, there’s no sales. You have to cater to the people. It doesn’t matter if you sell information, offer a service or even what niche you’re in. It ALL revolves around people–the consumer.

You’re told to build traffic so your site will be a success. You need traffic or it will fail. What is traffic? Yep, people.

You’re told you need a list so you can promote your products to. Without a list it will fail. What is a list? Right again, it’s people.

In reality, you are not generating traffic or building a list. You are attracting people.

No people, no traffic, no list, no money.

The best way to make money online? Attract people.

What do you do with them after you attract them? Build a relationship. Sure, you can have crappy products and no people skills and not build a relationship, but that will only last so long. Building a business that way is equivalent to the life cycle of a fly. It’s very short-lived.

If you want to build a successful business online, you need to set aside the money issue and focus on people. Put your focus on serving them and helping them solve their problems. Then, and only then will the money come. People will want to buy from you and they will be loyal customers if you give them value and solutions to their problems.

Keep people in the forefront of your business and at the end of the day your bottom line will be a reflection of how well you served people.

Take care of people and they will take care of your business.

4 Tips For Writing A Great Blog Post

Contributed by a comprehensive education system today, it’s not a strange sight to see young kids able to churn out Shakespeare worthy poems on an everyday basis. However even so, their eloquence doesn’t always automatically translate to an article that is able to leave an impression on people from all walks of life. In this case, the essence of a great blog post is often related to the personality imparted on it and thus as elaborated below.

1. Use catchy yet short titles
In the effort to create an enjoyable read, the blog post title is more often than not underestimated as simply a title. Borrowing from the phrase “Never judge a book for its cover”, it is precisely the anti-thesis of the phrase that stimulates the initial desirability of choosing the blog post to read. The ideal format of a title should always be short yet catchy and of course include a couple of keywords. This is because like how most products are chosen based on branding, the same can be applied in the deciding factor for a blog post. Therefore in regards naming a post’s title, always keep in mind that titles are doors that serve as precursors to the blog post and not the opposite.

2. Concise and easily understandable content
Another tip in ensuring your blog post deserving more than just a quick glance from visitors, blog writers are always reminded of a natural law that not every visitor to their respective blog is a living dictionary. Despite providing the feel of a professional outlook, bombastic verbs are generally frowned upon in the community as it serves merely to reflect the writers need to flaunt his language prowess instead of sharing their thoughts.

Hence, writers should practice applying simple English to allow the intention of the post to be relayed with ease across the board. Using short paragraphs wouldn’t go amiss as well as it encourages readers to continue reading as opposed to long elaborative paragraphs.

3. Aesthetically pleasing blog layouts
As compared to traditional word essays, the distinctive difference that sets it apart from blog post is the ability to use visual appeal to improve the reading experience. This is because by employing visual elements such as photographs, readers are not digesting thoughts & facts but also relieved of the effort to create a visual reading experience in their imagination. This in short as according to a saying of how a photo is worth a thousand words, it allows the writer to more effectively convey their personal emotions & thoughts across the web.

4. Infuse some humor to create an engaging piece of reading!
When we are writing, it is mentioned previously that we are not only imparting our thoughts but also our distinctive persona into a blog post. Whether in real life scenarios or in vast cyberspace, a sense of humor would go a long way in ensuring an enjoyable experience.

Though one might argue that tone of humor often at times doesn’t reflect the nature of a serious content post but the fact remains that, majority of online blog readers are recreational readers. The readers does not expect bloggers to possess a sense of humor of a stand-up comedian, however they are more entertained when the blogger discards conventional writing style in favor of a more personal and care free approach.

All in all, to create a great blog post from scratch doesn’t require an extensive collection of PhD’s & master degree. The art of creating an enjoyable experience when reading a blog post is simply the art of being truthful and simple when conveying personal thoughts and experience. As it would seem, writing a great blog post should always be considered to an equivalent experience of sharing a conversation with a long lost friend.

What Makes Windows 8 Wonderful

Here’s something that makes Windows 8 beautiful, delicious and the OS of future!

1. Innovative Design

Windows 8 is blessed with an intuitive and an innovative design. The design though basically made for touch screen netbooks or a few desktops, runs wonderfully on normal computers i.e. the computers without touch equipment as well.

If you have had a look at the Windows 8 interface, the user interface is totally tile based just like you see in Windows 7 powered mobile phones. The tile based interface is quite attractive, but if I am not wrong you will get a phony experience even in your desktop! Some might like it, while some might not. I somewhat like the interface as it’s something I haven’t ever seen in a desktop, but I am not sure if with time it will prove boring.

2. Security +1

Have you ever seen a computer with a “factory reset” option? Well if you haven’t, you can see it in Windows 8! Windows 8 comes with a factory reset option which refreshes your entire system and takes your computer back to when you had bought it! This ensures that all your personal data is removed and all the bugs or malware which have accidentally entered your PC are removed as well!

Thus, if in future you decide to sell your computer or laptop, Factory reset feature will prove to be a boon!

3. Speed… speeder… speediest!

Windows 8 is awesomely fast! Windows 8 uses less than half amount of memory Windows 7 used. Accordingly the system is very fast and some have even commented that Windows 8 loads in less than 8 seconds! Yeah, you read it right – 8 s-e-c-o-n-d-s!! At first I couldn’t believe it, but seeing the screenshots and the construction of Windows 8, I was forced to believe it!

So one thing that is guaranteed with Windows 8 is SPEED! You can expect a very fast experience even on an older computer with low specifications.

4. App Store?!

Windows 8 has a dedicated app store as well. Just as Android, iTunes Windows 8 comes with an app store! This allows you to take your computing to the next level. The app store will permit you to find the latest applications, install them on your device and start experiencing it immediately! I am soon expecting them to offer coupon apps which presents latest coupons on my desktop for example TRX coupons & diamonds USA coupons. I am sure the future release i.e. public release will boast of many apps!

I am assuming the apps to be very light-weight and thus fast loading. After all the system itself uses less than 300MB RAM!!

5. Runs On Tablets, Notebooks, Laptops & Desktops!

Hardly do we see an OS running on all platforms, fortunately Windows 8 is among them! Windows 8 can run on your old desktop computer, your past time laptop, your present netbook and even your future tablet! Of course, they have to be supported by Windows!

6. Mobile & Computer Mixed?

I somehow think that Microsoft has mixed mobiling with computing and the result is Windows 8! Having image locks, pin code as passwords, sensor support, app marketplace, etc. The interface hardly makes me feel that I am using a desktop! It looks a lot like my Windows 7 powered mobile phone, but it’s attractive!

What do you think? How will people take on Windows 8? Do you think it will attract people or will it just come & go. Do you think Windows 8 is a great competitor to Mac? Do let us know your views. I, Microsoft & Apple all want to hear you say!

4 Effective Strategies For Boosting Blog Traffic

Nothing beats SEO when boosting your blog’s traffic. SEO after all was designed for one thing and that’s to get your website more visibility. Getting to the top of search engines can be considered the holy grail of any SEO strategy. Sometimes it’s not what your competition is doing but what you as a blog owner fails to do.

1. Links, Links, Links
They always say that you just can’t get enough links. These are like tiny votes for your website and more votes get you ranked higher. There is no other way for search engines to know your website’s reputation but by looking at other websites that link back to your site. This increases your websites value and increases your ranking.

Guest PostingBlog CommentingArticle SubmissionsSocial BookmarkingForums

It would be a good idea to diversify your link building campaign. Nobody really knows how much PR juice is passed from these strategies so using different techniques helps you maximize the benefits. Recent changes in how Google determines the quality of links generated from different techniques has only reinforced this. Submitting hundreds of articles to directories has long been a popular way of getting back links. But with the recent changes some say that the value of this has decreased. Using a variety of linking strategies ensures that you keep a steady flow of PR juice going to your blog.

2. Optimize your Content
Quality will always be king but integrating keywords into your article doesn’t hurt either. Build your keywords around your content and not the other way around. This gives your content a more natural flow. One technique that I use is to write the article first before inserting the keywords.

Keyword Research – keywords play a crucial role in helping your blog become more visible. There are a lot of applications that could help even novice bloggers determine the right keywords for their post. Some of these include Google’s AdWord Tool and WordTracker. Keyword Density – the next step after determining what keywords to use is to know how many times you should use it on your post. Some experts place the figure at 3-5 %. This means using your keywords 3 to 5 times for every 100 words.Keyword Placement – it would also be a good idea where to place these keywords. Placing a few keywords at the start of your post and decrease its frequency at the end. Search engines usually place great importance in crawling the first few sentences and the last paragraph of the post.

3. Optimize Post Titles
Every blog post starts with a title. It is also a great place to put your target keywords. A title only consists of a few words or a single phrase but this is also one of the first places where search engines crawl when looking for relevant content.

4. Social Networks
This is probably one of the easiest ways of getting people to visit your blog. All it takes is to place a link on your tweets or shouts. A simple way of keeping your fans and followers updated about your latest post. One thing that makes social networks so effective is its ability to get viral. One follower or friend could easily turn into hundreds.

Get Great Content Ideas For Your Blog [How-To]

As bloggers the content we put out on our blog is a very integral part of our success. Building a successful blog is not just about pumping out just any content at anytime, it is about finding out what works and what people really want to read.

I have been achieving a lot of success with my blog where I talk about nutrisystem and medifast lately by leveraging some time-tested and proving tips I will be sharing with you below. You will be able to see your results go over the roof by implementing the tips below alone.

Leverage the Power of Blog Comments

Whenever I’m really desperate about writing link bait and viral content on my blog the first thing I do is look for the top blogs in my niche. For example, I talk about medifast and nutrisystem on my blog. I know a lot of people are willing to learn more about nutrisystem and medifast and that a lot of them spend the most of their time in the comments section of the top blogs in my field. So instead of looking for one great formula the first thing I do is visit these top blogs, look at the most common comments and write a post on what a lot of people want to read.

It is quite easy to look for solutions elsewhere, but the only people who can tell you the kind of blog post they want to read are the readers themselves. By reading the comments on the top blogs in your niche you will be able to understand what people want and therefore tailor your content to it.

Survey Your Readers to Learn More about what they want to Read About

Another way you can get great content idea for your blog is by trying to get into the mind of your readers yourself, and the only way to do this is by asking them.

Your readers are the only ones who know what they want to read the most and a great way to get great ideas from them is by asking them what bothers them the most. It can be in the form of a single web form on your blog. It can be in the form of a blog post asking them what they want to learn and it can be you asking them whenever they subscribe to your blog email list. Either way, surveying your readers can be a great way to get them to tell you what they want to read.

Make Effective Use of Social Sites

The final tip to help you get more content ideas is by using social networking and bookmarking sites. A lot of us spend the most of our day on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Stumbleupon and Delicious. All these websites are great online portals with a huge user base and you can effectively leverage them to your success as a blogger.

Try to take a look at all the updates on your favorite social media sites everyday and try to look for which of that content is the most successful. Model your blog post after that successful blog post and you can get a lot of results.

8 Lessons growing from one Site to a Million monthly page views

Mark pages views some time ago one of my sites crossed the$ 1 million each month. Below is the screenshot of Google Analytics for the month of August.

While I know, there are thousands of other Web sites out there with much higher traffic, reaching that milestone made me very happy, as it is a Web site, I built from scratch (i.e., I still remember when I registered the domain).

Below are the eight most important lessons I learned then:

Most of the who read this blog probably think this is my site more and more cost-effective. Well, is not. The reason? Tips traditional blogs, to make the money online, SEO or Internet marketing trucs traditionnels les blogs, faire de l' argent en ligne, referencement ou Internet marketing assez en comparaison avec des comme blogs sont petites enough assez en comparaison avec des comme blogs sont petites compared with en comparaison avec des comme blogs sont petites comme blogs sont petites as blogs blogs are small in comparison to That is why my "money" sites are placed in these niches, as I write on Daily Blog Tips, especially because I have the pleasure to do so.

While it is important to pick the right niche, relatively important, I wouldn't recommend you can start another blog tech or cars, where you will get most of your content sites and other blogs, more. Most of the traditional niches are crowded and if you write will just on what everyone is written, after them, the people have no reason to visit your site. The solution? You must find a unique angle. You must have an idea that will differentiate both your site and your content to others in the same niche. Step easy, but possible.

There is a metric that very few people pay attention to the, and yet I believe that this is one of the best indicators of the potential of a Web site: repeat visitors. Basically if the amount of repeat visitors on your site is increasing over time, that this means that you convert some of your occasional visitors more loyal and your total traffic will increase overtime. However, if the amount of repeat visitors is not growing, it means that your content is not able to engage visitors to the point that they will remember your site a few days after visiting it. In this case, you need to rethink your strategy.

If you need to choose between quality and quantity, go with quality. In the words of order, you will get much better published an article of high quality per week than five medium-sized ones of Edition. It is the quality of your content that will increase the amount of repeat visitors you get, after all, and the amount of backlinks you will receive from other sites (more on that below).

If you like it or not, Google is the main driver of traffic on the web, so you better friendship with her and use her help to grow your site. This means that you need understand how job search engines (e.g., how Google analyses Web, how he decides which Web sites to be used when people search for stuff, etc.) to optimize your content pages and promote your articles in a way that will increase their exposure with search engines. It will take some effort from your end, but the results are certainly worth it.

When it's referencing and promotion of your Web site in General, you will need to research and collect data (as opposed to trusting your gut or a hunch). That is, you will need to understand what are the hot topics in your niche, what search terms are sending you more traffic, that visitors are more likely to stay on your site and so on. With the numbers on your part, you will be able to make much better decisions, both in terms of content and promotion.

Although there are many people who manage to grow large sites only, I found that some help along the way makes all the difference. On most sites, these days I concentrate exclusively on aspects of the strategy and promotion, while leaving the development of the web design/content to other people. You will need to spend the money, although it is one of the most effective ways to grow any website (and any other company, for the case).

It took me about three years to go from zero to one million monthly page views. During this time, no there was no event which catapulted the popularity of my site, no large spike in traffic. It was a gradual and slow process, where each month I would promote the site a little more, make a few guest posts and so on. What mattered to me was to see the numbers of traffic increasing, albeit slowly, month after month.

The tax Man comes

No one should be surprised by the fact, there was more legislation introduced to force merchants to collect sales tax online. People in Washington need money so that they can waste more time to discuss the debt ceiling next increase when returning. They need to live comfortably and we know where came from money - anyone who has had the sense to start a job online. What is the name of these fish swim on the underside of the shark and only hitch as well as for the journey? Anyway, I'm just outside Toronto, and the Government here has been squeezing hard for some time now. Welcome to the club.

The main street of fairness Act (first aid) would change the existing law requiring only merchants pay taxes that they had a physical presence. BTW, do you love the title of this Bill? Talking about the PRD with double Orwellian type we come to expect from our politicians Jackal on two sides of the border. In this new totalitarian piece of tripe, same affiliates will pay sales tax. Notice how none of the involved politicians to speak personally to cuts in their pay to help rebuild the tax coffers?

Politicians are the cons same that keep arguing the merits or the horrors involved with Internet gambling and online. Currently, this industry is illegal in the United States, even if it is worth billions and the same Bills keep introduced and defeated as the back course Fryer in New Jersey.

It is not a question of paying taxes. I pay mine and retain records detailed all my transactions as I am sure that most of my colleagues on the Internet do. There is just something wrong in the modern equivalent of the gold rush and the politicians of the old school and Government agencies have come to us with their hands off so that they can spread their lifestyles of soft Government and clunky dying ways.

Most of us came to other places online, because we knew that the world had changed and ceases to change. She aspires to hear cases where people who are clinging to the hollow of Government old-school telling us that we must pay our fair share. We do this. Perhaps it is time that they have learned to pare down and stand on their two feet. Gravy train has long been over.

Find your Passion for your ideal business

I wanted to talk to you passion and how it can make or break your online business.

Most online entrepreneurs create squeeze pages and blogs that target desperate niches and those seeking answers to their problems. But how many of these entrepreneurs is really passionate about what they do?

Ask yourself these questions:

That is what prevents from me going?What motivates me to do better?What comes naturally to me?What fills me?

I want you to be successful, and following your passion is one of the key steps of how to get there.

The thing is, if you do not believe in what you do and you simply are in this for the money, you'll never build a solid, sustainable business and you will never be filled.

How can you make money doing something that you do not believe in?

For example, if you don't like to play golf and not know anything about it, you should not continue any business is to play golf because your Web site and the content will be lack of passion and purpose, and your visitors will know.

When you have a true passion for something, money doesn't matter and time regardless.

Nothing will matter much but indulging in your passion.

You have heard: "do what you like".  If you really like what you do, you will work with passion, voluntarily and without fear.

It is easy to tell when someone is truly impassioned by their business because they have taken the time to provide valuable, in-depth content for their readers.  Their passion shows in everything they do.  They go out of their way to over-deliver amazing information.

Here are the key, your passion, what you have been wanting to make forever, will lead you to your ideal clients:

for those who want what you have offeringthose which will return again and again because of what you're offeringthose that pay gladly for what you are offering.

When you have found a company that makes you really happy, who lit a fire under you and you are motivated to want to do better, you've found your passion.

You can work your tail off the coast.You can daydream.You can expect the best.You can survive.

However, you do not live until you follow your passion.  And once you have found, to go after it with enthusiasm!

Here are some exercises that will help you find exactly what your passion.

First, you must:

delete all fearremove all unforgivenessremove all the expectationsremove all judgments.

Now, enter a pen and paper and answer these questions (and be honest!):

What you daydream about?What you would do if you could be a kid again?What motivates you?  Inspires you?  Makes happy giddy?What are you passionate?

You must use this passion to speak to your subscribers. To infuse your written with words which go beyond the surface.

You need to speak their language.

You need to understand what it is they want and need, and then use this same passion to give them.

To do this, you need to work on yourself.  To be totally and brutally honest with what you do and how you approach your business.

Your ideal client should you be fascinated by what you do.

This beautiful glow you get when you do what you love will shine as a beacon in everything you do.

The fire is followed by what people and passion, it's the only thing that will help you achieve the life and the business of your dreams.

Take a vacation from your Blogging business

I did something recently that I don't have long. I have almost entirely vacation of my blogging business. For a time on holiday, I did step spend evenings of lost time. I did not write the blog articles. No tweeting, no blog commenting, none of it, for a whole week.

Of course, I used yet my computer for fun. I brought along, and I even had internet access almost every day. I just did not use it for work and made relatively few leisure tips on it. I was too busy at the beach, the zoo of places like that to bother with my computer.

Taking holiday of my blogging business is something that I have too little. My laptop still moves with me, and most of the time, I spent my evenings of work. The only problem with that is that I do not give me enough of a disruption of business, thus finally get tired and even head towards brule processing in all.

Many owners of home-based business to do the same. It is all to easy to work long hours and more rarely take a break to refresh your body and your mind, even for a few minutes during the day, regardless of a whole week. Yet, it is necessary.

Take a vacation from your business of blogging is not something you can do just on a whim. Well, you could, I suppose, but most of the time it is only an idea. You need to understand how things are going to go without you.

What email? Cleaning the blog comments or forum spam if you have on your site? What happens if your site breaks down or gets hacked?

You must understand how much stuff, you can remove your business for a week, how much you can handle in a few minutes each day while you are on vacation, and which should be handed over to a virtual assistant or close friend or a member of the family while you are gone.

The big thing of many home businesses, especially if they are online, is that you can often drop a little on what you do take vacations. Many things will wait. Others do.

You can schedule blog to run in your absence. I always like to do this, even if it means extra work while preparing holiday. He keeps running just a little bit of things and then I do not feel rushed to prepare the articles of the blog when I get because I have spent a week and it positions of ready for the next week either. I can take a little time and ease in my work with only a small gap in my posting, or even nothing at all if I have to date before I can schedule some just for after I return.

It is not always easy to leave your home-based business, only once you are on holiday, especially if you like what you do. There is always that temptation to do a job just during your downtime.

Do not. Find another way to enjoy your time of inactivity. Read a book for pleasure. Play with your children if you have some. Out with your spouse, significant other, friends or on your own simply. Keep your mind off the coast of your business. It will be still be there when you get in return.

If you need to check on your business, try to keep it to just a few minutes a day, perhaps first thing in the morning for the rest of your day is clear. If you get involved too much, you may not be well enough plan for your break and need to rethink how you can you away for a while.

I feel much now that I'm back from my vacation. It was wonderful not thinking about this next post blog for some time. When you do not take real breaks, all you know that you need to do is more like clutter in your head. This is, and you really cannot deal with effectively. A holiday gives you time to sort, even if you are not actively think about the time.

Holiday can also refresh your ideas. Too long work on a project, and you stuck with certain kinds of ideas. Vacation gives you time away from everything it, and you could find new ideas more easily come after, even though it is only a new perspective on the same things you are working on before.

You must also be more relaxed after the holidays. Now is the time where you should not be focussed on whatever constraints are in your life. Most of the things that cause stress in your life can expect this week too.

Take a vacation from your blogging business is not always the easiest thing to do, but it may be a good idea. You do not have to make your business and every time you go on vacation. It is sometimes best to leave all behind it.

Blogs at home? Fight the lethargy with a solid morning Routine

For those of you who work at home, lethargy may be your greatest opponent. It is not always easy to get your head in the game when you are sitting on your couch in your tighty-whities eating fruity pebbles Bowl. But be not so quick to blame the pebbles fruity - fruity pebbles are delicious. The problem is something psychologists call languid Syndrome of costume.

All rights, I made up that. Jokes side, the truth is that I see no good research on the positive effects of clothing business (please let me know in the comments if you can track down some relevant studies). What I can give you, is my personal experience.

I have recently graduated college, where I studied, among other things, pre - law. Currently, I spend most of my time to write for my blog and the preparation for my Law School Admission Test (LSAT). You get, and you would be wrong, I do all this in the comfort of my home.

Sometimes a little too comfortably.

I found it difficult to get out of bed roll, switch on the tube and hammer some advanced linear logic games. Here are my new and improved routine in the morning:

Get up to 9: 00 a.m., to take my Macbook and analysis of RSS. Send intriguing articles to Instapaper to read more later.My morning coffee brewing. To begin to realize the breakfast.Struck A the gym at least a hourShower around noon and get dressed - this button-up shirt, tucked means jeans, sleeves rolled up, tie optional (half-Windsor).Sit at my enormous Office and turn on a classical music: it's time for the company.

Now, of course, you must find a morning routine that works for you. What is important is that develop you a routine and make it a habit. The same way that hit the pillow signals to your brain that it is time to go to sleep, make a habit to get dressed in the morning, even when you do not have to go, signals in your brain that it is time to seriously.

I heard a story of a man who get up every morning, put on a combination and link, leave the House, get in his car, walk around the block and come back home to the "work." A day at work was completed, he would pack up his things, come back in his car, walk around the block once more and return "home". Perhaps, this is an extreme example of the failure of the day between work and play, however, it is not quite absurd. Assuming that this man actually exists, he found a routine that works well for its needs.

So try this. Out a pad and paper and dash off a routine morning for yourself. Specify time for each task and stick to them as much as you can.

Do not overload yourself - start small, otherwise you can never make a habit of such a calendar difficult. My routine is just waking up, breakfast, go to the gym room and a shower. Easy stuff, but it makes all the difference. Oh, and it is wonderfully rewarding the day where I loosen my necktie, deboutonner my necklace, relax and relax.

8 Tips for the use of quotation marks and the Dialogue in your blog

Quotations and dialogue are one of the most powerful tools in the Toolbox of the writer. They bring your writing to life. They give your piece voice and make the words jump page. As already stated by the famous writer Stephen King, "" what people often say passes their character to other ways in which they - speakers - ignore completely. ""

While most bloggers understand the power of the quotes, they do not know how to properly format. This position is an intensive course of how to use and punctuate quotations in your writing.

Please note that there are exceptions to some of these rules (depending on whether you use the American standard or the standard UK). But for the most part if you follow these rules you will be fine.

All citations should be capitalized, except for fragments. If your quotes are not capitalized, your readers may think that this is a partial quote with the points of suspension failed.

Even when quote you someone from environment, you must take advantage of the citation.

As George Santayana has so well said, "those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat."

Let's say you want to break the following quote in two paragraphs:

"I always say to people," said Archer in an interview, "do not write on the Goblin;" write assistants simply because they are in. Write what you feel comfortable with. Always remember Jane Austen. [It] has lived in a small village and has written about his mother being unable to get rid of the four girls. Then, she wrote about her mother being unable to get rid of three girls. Then she wrote about her mother being unable to get rid of two girls. »

Most people open and close the citation for each paragraph:

"I always say to people," said Archer in an interview, "do not write on the Goblin;" write assistants simply because they are in. "Write what you feel comfortable with."

"Always remember Jane Austen." [It] has lived in a small village and has written about his mother being unable to get rid of the four girls. Then, she wrote about her mother being unable to get rid of three girls. Then she wrote about her mother being unable to get rid of two girls. »

The right way to do, it's not step to close the quotation at the end of each paragraph, only the last time:

"I always say to people," said Archer in an interview, "do not write on the Goblin;" write assistants simply because they are in. Write what you feel comfortable with.

"Always remember Jane Austen." [It] has lived in a small village and has written about his mother being unable to get rid of the four girls. Then, she wrote about her mother being unable to get rid of three girls. Then she wrote about her mother being unable to get rid of two girls. »

It's amazing how many mistakes make us when speaking. It is only when transcribe you the speech of paper that you see these errors. As a writer then you are authorized to clean up the citations.

For example, consider the following quote:

"There are 1,000 people in the room, and everyone love what I do."

Clean so that the verb agrees with the "people" in the plural.

"There are 1,000 people in the room, and everyone love what I do."

The only exception is if you want to sound author without instruction that you leave the citation in its original form.

If you need to add a citation, not just include additional words in the quote. Use the "[]" marker to display your additions.

As he said in an interview, "[the Crown] was lower than the claim of Columbus that China was 10,000 miles more closely as the popular belief of the time".

Say you want to insert a quote incorrectly written in its original form (whether by design or by mistake), but you do not want your readers to think that you are the source of the error.

The poster read, "Old skool remixes are the koolest."

"Skool" and "koolest" are written incorrectly. To fix this, simply include [sic] after each word.

The poster read, "Old skool [sic] remixes are the koolest [sic]".

This allows the reader knows that you are not the source of the error.

If you want to insert a quote that has a citation within it, use a pair of single quotation marks (' ') to enclose the sub-quote.

"The pilot said me ' where you want to go today?" "

You place commas and periods (full stops) the outside or inside the quotation marks? Answer: It depends. The American standard is that commas and periods go inside quotation marks, regardless of the logic:

As my grandfather used to say, "better get out as a tenant in anger."

The English standard is that the commas and periods following logic:

As my grandfather used to say, "better off as a tenant in anger".

If you do not know what standard to follow, include periods inside quotation marks and commas.

When it comes to question marks (?) and points of exclamation mark (!) standards both American and English follow logic. So if the question is in the quote itself, place the within quotation marks. In addition, place outside quotation marks.

At that time, he asked himself, "is worth the effort.
Do you agree with the adage, "familiarity breeds contempt"?

Follow these rules and your writing will look more professional, to help you establish an authority in the minds of the readers of your blog.

If you know other errors that I have not covered here (I know, there is a little more) Please share with us in the comments section.
