1. It's not just technology
Geeks pioneered blogging so people think it is all about the technology. It isn't. Focus on people. It is people who read, subscribe, comment and tell their friends, technology is merely the tool you use to bring your content to the people.

2. Content is only the start
Yes, content is king, but without an army, what is a king but a simple man in a funny hat? If content is your king, promotion is your army. Saying all you need is content is like saying all a pie needs is flour. Success comes from several ingredients in the right measures; consistent, quality, valuable content, with good promotion, community and most of all patience!

3. It's not just WHAT you know
Networking is the key to success in blogging, and probably in life. Yes, it is not just what you know but also who. Get out and make friends.

4. Be nice on the way up
As a continuation of the previous point, I have seen so many people use and abuse their contacts and readers only to find when the proverbial hits the wind making device they are all alone. Do not make this mistake, be nice on the way up and you might get some friendly help when things go rough.

5. Give to receive
What you get out all depends on what you put in. Over the years, I have seen the idea constantly reinforced that before you try to take any rewards, you need to give, give and give some more. All too often people think blogging is a route to riches, so they slap ads all over their theme, push dodgy affiliate offers and generally try to extract every last cent from their blog before even creating any useful resource. Remember, garbage in, garbage out.

Let's Enjoy!

Yes, you read that right. Why you should NOT blog.

Blogging is not for everyone.

There are some good reasons I have seen suggested why you should not blog:

• You don’t have the time to do it justice.
• Blogging would add nothing to your business or life.
• Writing is too difficult or unpleasant.
• Your company is struggling to keep up with current order levels.
• Customer contact can never be in the culture.
• Change is out of the question.
• Colleagues can’t be relied on to behave.
• Lawyers, PR and Brand team have to sign off on every communication.
• If you created blog for earning the it may "Adsense CTR is too low"
  … And so on
  

Some of these are more valid than others, some have counter arguments and some are harder to solve than others. I can think of tactics that suit certain businesses better than blogging purely from an ROI basis.

One example would be a local swimming teacher who is booked up three years in advance and barely has time to spend with her own kids. A blog might give her opportunities to sell her expertise, gain private bookings, make more money and free up her time, or it might just create more work, a chore that takes her away from family quality time. It depends on the person and nobody can decide for her.

That all said, fact is there is only one reason you should never blog. You should never blog if you are not interested in communicating.

Blogging is all about your interaction with an audience. It is not a passive advertising platform. Creating a blog is not a magic ticket to the top of search engine results, and it will not suck eyeballs like a vacuum cleaner.

To succeed in blogging you have to be interested in your audience, you have to be there, be authentic, interact, and you have to consistently serve and delight them. If this is too much like effort, do anything else but blog. It just won’t work for you.

On the positive side, blogs are very good at attracting, educating and interesting audiences. You can get very fast feedback, gain a better industry profile, create sales leads, and have fun doing it.

It all depends on your mindset and motivation.

There is no point in having a new website that looks beautiful and is unknown to the internet community unless you take some active steps to promote it,oe else all your efforts will be futile and useless.If you are not sure where to begin, here are some steps that are bound to prove useful.

1. Tell Your Associates:There is no need to reach the unknown millions of people out there surfing the Internet,instead it would be wise if we contact our friends and associates.Look at your e-mail address book and get the word out, tell your business contacts, friends, relatives and tel them to tell their friends too. Channelise them in a proper way.

2. Link to Your Own Site:If you already have one website, make sure that this site is linking to your new site. A website without any incoming links to it will have a very low page ranking in the all-important Google search engine and will face an uphill battle to be seen in Google search results, especially if you are in a very competitive category.Even when your site is in the construction stage you, or even your web designer can link to the new site from another already well-established site, mentioning that the new site is under construction. If you already have several sites, then link them to your infant site. It will help the new site to be seen in competitive search engine listings even in its debut period.

3. Get a paid inclusion in one of the big search engines:It takes 4-6 weeks to get listed in Google, and other search engines are equally slow. However there are a few fairly important search engines that have inexpensive express inclusion programs. If you join these programs, then your site will be listed in 48 hours. Inktomi, which provides results for MSN and 100 other search services, has an inclusion program which costs $39 for the first URL that you submit, and subsequent ones cost $25. The value of the Inktomi submission is that they revisit your URL every 48 hours and if you make changes on the page you can see the results in the MSN listings very quickly. Thus, you can tweak your pages and see how it affects your position.

4. Add your site to the Open Web Directory and the major search engines:Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to search engine submission. Forget about the sales hype that tells you to add your URL to 300, 000 search engines. Only a few search engines and directories provide the lion’s share of Internet traffic. If your site is in good shape, no longer under construction, then go to www.dmoz.org. This is the Open Web Directory. Find the category where your site fits, and make a submission. If you are accepted here your site will appear in the many search engines and local directories that use the results from the Open Web Directory. Inclusion in this directory usually takes time but it will help you a lot. Similarly submit your site to Google, Alta Vista and All The Web, these are the remaining giants where you can submit for free.

5. Start a reciprocal links campaign – Once you have given yourself a link from your other sites or from your designer’s page, you can go out and ask other complementary sites for links.Always try exchanging links with sites that have a good page rank for it indicates that the site has good hits and is often visited.By having a trackback link chances of your site having hits is enhanced.

6. Write an article about your product or service – If you have a website the chances are that you are an expert in the field that your site is all about. Write an article about your product or service, or write an article related to the subject matter of your site. Submit the article online to various websites and e-mail lists dealing with your topic. The publication of your article in a big e-zine, or on a popular web site can get your new site off to a roaring start.

7. Promote Your Site Off-line – Now that you have a site, put the URL brochures, business cards, TV advertising, and circulars.The cafepress.com has a program enabling you to put your URL on these items and even sell them online.Last but not the least be unique and be promotionally inclined initially for traffic generation.

Who is Hot? Mom Or Daughter

Yesterday, I was searching some free utlities and just popped into IconicCo's ColorPic. ColorPic is an easy program to pick any color from the screen and to store it in different palettes automatically (single XML file), ready to be used. Colors are shown in hex and decimal. It can show and modify many values (Hue, Saturation, RGB, and so on).It also uses a resizable magnification area and collapsible sections. It can calculate web-safe colors.

The ColorPic also sports a magnification area that allows you to get super detailed when picking a color. Version four has major speed improvements and an easier to use magnification slider, and now allows you to select either a point sample or a 3x3 or 5x5 average color from any place on your screen.

I am sure Iconico.com is still happy to provide the ColorPic as totally free software with no catches, even though ColorPic's features now surpass many of our competitor's commercial applications. So, I recommends every professional to have this tool.

There is no specific reason for this post but I just came out of a painful slump following my struggle with Joomla, another excellent open source content management system similar to (but certainly more extensive than) Wordpress.
While it was relatively easy for me to understand the inner maneuvers of Wordpress, my Joomla journey was laden with several false starts and an overwhelming desire to give up.

I finally did get the hang of it. And the results are spectacular. But I have come to the conclusion that in terms of self publishing platforms, nothing still beats Wordpress. Joomla, on the other hand, is superior in terms of data management and content flexibility.

I do understand, however, that these two platforms are meant for entirely different functions. Wordpress is primarily a blogging system, whereas Joomla is geared towards more complex websites, web portals, and the like. However, several bloggers do use Joomla, and some developers do use Wordpress for non-blogging sites. (Note: There’s a component that bridges Wordpress and Joomla, but I have heard some pretty ugly horror stories about it. Here’s hoping it would evolve soon.)

I would not recommend one over the other. They are both great platforms with excellent documentation. But, as one reviewer puts it, they are different conceptually. One must bear this in mind when trying to decide between the two.
In the meantime, here’s my two cents’ worth…

Use Wordpress if:

1. You’re a blogger.
2. SEO is your foremost concern.
3. You have little or no design and development skills.
4. You want a simple and easy admin-side interface.
5. You have no patience for PHP hacks.
6. You have little time to spare on extensions (plugins).
   

Use Joomla if:

1. You’re running a portal, a web community, a complex corporate website, or an educational resource.
2. You’re an experienced designer or developer.
3. You need to manage and moderate several users.
4. You can devote time and energy to study the system.
5. You trust yourself with PHP.
   

I am going to register a domain soon, and will go with Wordpress, as in my view SEO is the most important.

Weblink Popularity Working Tips

It is no secret that having more quality Weblinks pointing into your site will help to improve its ranking in the search engines. Here are a few tips to help build the Weblink popularity levels of your site.

Tip 1: Write and Distribute articles
Article marketing is a proven way to increase the ranking of your site as well as build credibility and establish your site as an authority in its niche. All you need to do is write a good quality article around 500 to 700 words and submit it to top article directories. You can use an article directory submission service like Article Marketer if you want to save time submitting by hand.

Tip 2: Submit to directories
There are many Weblink directories online that you can submit to however submitting manually can be tedious which is why you should use some type of directory submission service.

Tip 3: Improve the content of your site
The better the content is on your site, the more people will Weblink to it over time. Also do not forget the power of word of mouth advertising as it is still the most powerful form of advertising. If you create a really great site, the word will spread and people will visit your site even if you have little to no search engine presence.

Content really is king so work hard to create the best possible content. Mastering the search engine game can be tough. Contact me to get a free e-book via email.

Hmmm.... It is the creative instinct which makes a person to write and express himself, his thoughts and ideas to others. If you wish to be a writer, you must learn to develop your own view point and try to elaborate on it. All good writers make us see things in a different light and perspective. Mostly people tend to write on the same subject, but your presentation must reflect your personality and individuality. Perhaps your ideas and thoughts must be original and interwoven in such a manner so as to attract the readers attention instantly.

There are countless interesting subjects on which you can write about in different forms but blogs that catch the attention of readers and bloggers are mostly current subjects, sports, short stories, jokes, small happenings in day to day events, our feelings and observations about life etc. There is a good market for he humorous stories and adventurous stories, the domestic tales and mysteries from ancient times and also stories related to animals and about strange experiences.

Don’t worry if your story turns out to be too short. Sometimes short stories are all time hits. The best blogs need not be very big as very few have the time to read the whole article. The content must be what the readers fear, desire, expect or best of all don’t expect at all. Hope you guys will come up with quality content because in the game of Google there is only one rule.... "Content Rules"...........
