These days, I am a regular reader rather than a blogger. It is because writing a blog can be sometimes time consuming. Besides, I have been relocating countries and it took about 6 months of my regular blogging habits. So, Yes, I will have to practice to blog again.

To be honest, nowadays, I like to read and review other sites because I find that facinating for other bloggers who have been brilliant with their blogs. I would not rather get an idea or copy/paste other people work, but I actually like to share with what I read, because some of the blogs may not be in your reach while I have done my SEO/SEM works, So, at least, this will reach out to my readers as well.. As you know reviewing is one of my interests while I am blogging.

Today, I read about the title 10 Things Your Blog Doesn’t Need. And It is simple but yet fantastic read, so that you will enjoy like I did.

Reference: Jill Smokler blogs about parenting; the good, the bad and the scary at Scary Mommy. She can be found at on Twitter as @scarymommy.

Yes, That is right. If you are reading my blog post, that means you want to find Tweeple that will always follow you back. I have been using Twitter for a while and I plan to offer something for my readers by collecting the list of Twitter followers who will actually follow you back. But there is always one trick, you are really supposed to follow them as well.

Twitter is basically a micro-blogging tool that you can have 140 characters to type in and let others share with your thoughts, status, being and news. So, make sure you always follow them while they are willing to follow you back, I don’t want to bore you with long list, because I actually maintain the list who would actually follow you back in return.

So, go get the list http://twitter.com/NandaLinnAung/followers

You won’t be disappointed with the outcome. Especially you are a newbie to Twitter. Enjoy and Leave a comment below with your Twitter account, so that more people can be able to follow you. So would I.

99.259% accurate 5,621 spams caught, 455 legitimate comments, and an overall accuracy rate of 99.259%.

Yes, that’s my Akismet stats as of today after a little over a year of my blog. Normally, it makes me very happy that Akismet is pretty good software, I hardly missed legitimate comments and it’s pretty awesome. It is imperative that wordpress has built in for Akismet and I am really thankful for it.

How about your Akismet stats if you ever use wordpress?

Now there are two additional features in Competitive Ads Filter that have been improved now.

I will directly quote from AdSense Blog, so that you will not misunderstand the meaning.

Faster filtering
In the past, the Competitive Ad Filter sometimes took up to several hours to block URLs you’d entered. Knowing you’ve wanted a faster filtering system, we’re excited to let you know that URLs added to your Competitive Ad Filter are now usually blocked within 30 minutes. We hope that this will help you quickly make changes to maintain a positive user experience on your sites.

Increased filter list size
At the same time, a growing number of you have let us know that you’re running out of space in your Competitive Ad Filter. Now, you can add up to 500 sites to your filter list, more than double the previous limit. As you add new sites, please continue to keep the possible revenue impact of filtering in mind.

So, this is actually a big improvement for me, because It is always good to use filter service from AdSense and it will improve and give you safety for your website as well.

There are many techniques to plan for keywords in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) world. It is critical to use all the techniques so that search engines can index your site better than others. It is actually called on-page optimization which is important part of SEO.

Typically, the choices of keywords are to target traffic to your site relevant to keywords that internet users will search. However, each page can be optimized for different keywords, but the most important thing is not to focus on search engines, but to focus on the content of your materials. So, here are details keywords that you can actually optimized on page and they should be done on each and every single page of your site. Especially when you have a blog, it is very effective to optimize as blogs are content based and pretty easy to implement your SEO.

Keywords density

Let’s say, if you are writing about SEO, you will probably write more than once on the word, SEO. But too much is never good and always follow your heart to write rather than worrying too much about search engines and how they will index. Sometimes, when you try so hard, it makes visitors not only to feel confused but also not to come back for next time.

Long tailed keywords

Long tailed keywords are usually very long keywords and sometimes it is good to implement on possible long tailed keywords on your site. For example, “how to make a good plan on summer holidays” are long tailed keywords and you can actually optimize for headers, titles and rhetorical questions. It is important to know that generally, search engines will omit more of the conjunction words, but if you include them, they can be searched and match up according to the relevancy of search as well.

Overlapping keywords

This is basically associated with long tailed keywords search, the best way to highlight your keywords are H1, H2, paragraph html, bold, underlined, and italics, but not overkill it, of course. For example, the keywords that can search well on “make money online” could also be searched well in “make money online information”.

Misspelled keywords

They are to avoid at all costs for me, I have some contradictions with some of the SEO masters that you can actually intend to use misspelling, however, I do not follow their suggestions because most of the search engines no longer use meta tags because of keywords spamming and 90% of top search engines have already filtered with spelling checker for search results especially in English language search.

Plural keywords

Some people actually use plural keywords to search. So, it’s sometimes good to construct your site with both singular and plural number for commonly used words. Therefore, you can actually cover both when search is sought.

Localizations of your targeted audience and keywords

If you actually install Google analytics, you can actually geo-target or alternatively know who are your frequent visitors. The selection of words can actually give them easier to understand meaning and more feel like to read it more. For example, use toilet, loo, bathroom, lavatory or restroom according to your visitors to get acquaintance with your site. If you are promoting for products or services focused on particular country, it is vital to use these localizations for your potential buyers/visitors.

Caps and Hyphens

Usually, capital and hyphenated keywords are not mentioned much in on page SEO. But they are actually practical to use. Many people overlook SEO but build millions of web pages and they do not know what they are missing. In addition, capital keywords are not treated for special but it actually looks very professional, however, with good spelling checker website such as Yahoo! and Google actually make use of the importance of capital, because in some cases, capital plays a role, for example, internet and Internet. For hyphens, most search engines consider as a space, however, indexing with or without hyphens are different, so the best thing is to use both intentionally, so that you can cover both. Or you can do some research on what type of usage and search is used on particular keywords and examine whether e-mail or email is used more if there’s a case.

So, there you go, these are fantastic methods for on page optimizations and I am sure you do not miss these, so that you can generate more visitors than your competition. Because once you have started a website, you have millions of competition and the most important thing is to offer uniqueness and attractiveness to your potential visitors. Good Luck.

Reference: SEO Book by Aaron Wall 2006, an e-book which I really like. I am not affiliated with the author and you can actually Google to buy his materials if you want.

Lately, I have seen thousands of blogs and they are basically writing pretty much all the same. I love to read blogs as much as I like to write about it, but I cannot produce like 1 entry a day because it is simply that I cannot write 1 entry a day. Why some blogs are pretty famous and some blogs are not is basically straightforward. If we all take the ideas of others, it will never stand out among the crowd.

For me, the attraction of blog is to write what you experienced, rather than writing out all the techniques and terms most of the time. Of course, it is not so bad to write techniques and ways but the ones that are attracted to audience will be new ideas and personal experiences. It depends on the niche what types of person experiences are ideal as well. For example, if you are writing a blog about sportswear, it is very critical that you voice the particular sport product in your own way; especially it is useful with reviews. Rather than saying what others have said in the past, though it is a good idea to reference it.

Well, hope you can attract more visitors than ever to your blogs after reading this entry. Good Luck.

On the contrary, there are also some reasons you should not blog as well. It is pretty bad to jump in the blogging bandwagon without knowing what to do. Of course, if you don’t care about who is reading and write whenever you like, that is not the case. But if you want to make some money online and do not have the determination, passion and time to do, it will be just like many millions of dead end blogs that people will come once and will not pay a visit anytime soon.

First thing to ask whether you should blog or not is very simple, are you a blogger or a bloggie, there are millions of people who love to read but never attempt to write for themselves and sometimes they also felt like, “oh, I can also write this and that”, sadly it doesn’t work that way especially in the long run. Then, they become neither blogger nor bloggie.

I love to read blogs as well as writing my own and I think it is actually critical to read other blogs as well. I actually enjoy reading a lot of great blogs just not for blogging or making money. I would read many sort of blogs for many types of interests. And it’s amazing how many good blogs you can actually find across the internet.

Okay, back to the topic, I have stumbled across this blog about why people should not blog, and it triggers me to write this post. So, without further ado, take a look at this fantastic post from blogussion, “Seven Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Blog”, and credits go to Blogussion.

I actually agree with all the points there because it’s sad but true. What do you think?

There are many blogs coming out nowadays and I see some of the blogs are actually just made for AdSense and it is becoming more and more typical. It is always good to earn money while you blog however; you should prioritize what is actually more appealing to you while you blog. So, following are the reasons in order why I blog.

To share what I experience and know

It’s just simply to share what I know and give you the best options to create wealth online, it is not easy task, but it’s already short cut because I would have tried many other techniques and will not mention if it’s not important.

To learn in areas of what I generally blog.

Everything is about learning since we were born, we all learn to learn. Toddler, kid, adult, we have to learn everyday as a human nature. If I want to be expert in my area, I also have to learn to improve myself too.

To interact with my readers

This is definitely enjoyable experiences of blogging for me. Apart from comment spams and auto commenters that are automatically deleted from the system, I enjoy interacting with my readers who are willing to give honest and truthful comments. Also, I got more solutions to solve on particular issue with commenting and I love it.

To earn money while I blog

This would be my last intention, however, it is always good to earn while I blog which is what I love to do.

So, the bottom line is blog the things you love to write about, enjoy and share your experiences, interact with new friends and also you can basically earn from you blog. Of course, if you want to create great money making site, it is better you should try with some sort of business plan before you start writing any. To be honest, blog can make you pretty good money, at the same time, it can also consume too much of your time. So, you need to know your limits and schedules if you want to start blogging. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome.

Want to get Twitter followers efficiently? These are some of the facts you actually do not be able to find. Because I do experience myself in order to share my knowledge to you. Not to take some points from other people’s work. And yes, I do things slowly, but do it right to make the best out of it.

But you will not definitely find my post short cut or gain 20,000 followers within a week, but you will have steady increase number of followers, let’s say 50-100 members of followers a day if you build a good relationship with your followers.

Things you can’t easily find out on Google search about Twitter?

You can see thousands of blog articles written online, but when you hit 2000 following, not followers, you are stuck.. Why? because twitter put limits on following at 2000, unless your followers are properly ratioed. I am shocked to learn that internet gurus hardly talk about twitter limit. It’s probably one of the most important things you need to know about Twitter, read more here about twitter follow limit.

Twitter marketing?

Twitter is probably one of the hottest tool for internet marketing people. I do little bit of marketing for my websites, but never spam on your status. The point is you have 140 characters to do marketing on your status, the more follower, the better chance that they will see your status quite intriguing and click your URL (your URL can be shorten, meaning, no matter how long your blog post or URL is, it will actually be reduced to 18-20 characters). Moreover, you can actually hide if you are posting affiliate links, so that drives you more possible sales conversion as well. So, be wise for your 140 characters and make use of best possible punch line.

Twitter following and followers?

You will probably see have 15,000 followers in 3 weeks or I make 20k followers in 1 month thing around. My suggestion is not to spend a dime and get consistent and real followers for you. Remember, more than 50% of twitter members follow to get followers consequently can broadcast our status to the followers. It is neither geo-targeted nor niche-targeted. But always keep in mind, people want to build up relationships in Twitter, simple build up your relationship with your followers and following members.

My Motto @ Twitter

Follow me, follow you attitude. I always try to follow anyone who followed me. This is the right way to build up relationship with your followers. Of course, some people cannot follow you back right away because they probably reach twitter limits and stuck with following limits. Some people may not actually follow you permanently too. But that’s okay, you win some, you lose some. But once you build a good relationship to anyone, it does not matter, you will slowly build your Twitter network stronger than ever. Take a look at my follower at Twitter, you will see my total followers. If you want effectively gain twitter follower fast, just follow the people who followed me, because they actually followed me right away and they keep their following permanently. Check out my followers.

Here comes the most important thing, you would want to build your list slowly, so that you will not be stuck with twitter limits. So, make sure you follow like 100 members a day. Next day, you keep your following. Even you have 1000 following limits, you can actually get stuck if your following and follower ratio is not propotionate. So, follow properly, but not aggresively. While following maintain good relationship and RT other tweets, so that people will actually get to know you.

I made a lot of friends in Twitter, I barely know, But If someone Tweet such as “Share me some of your SEO tools”, and I just gave back RT (re-tweet) or DM (direct message).. In a couple of hours, i will get “thanks for the tools”, etc etc.

Nevermind about too many interests?

No, people don’t mind, they want what they want to. Sometimes, I tweet about myself. Once I tweet, This is so boring day, I will definitely get back “same here”, “rainy day and sleepy”, in a couple of minutes. Sometimes, direct to my Twitter login. That’s how you create your relationship, Now, I even search blogs on Twitter rather than Google, because you get more filtered as people would share or announce some good articles. When you focus on marketing alone, I don’t think it gives you real joy of using twitter. I gained heaps of friends in Basketball tweets, but never disappointed in my SEO/SEM discussions too.

Requirements for Twitter Members?

No, I am just being cheesy with the subtopics. There’s no requirement needed, but always treat other people with respect and have fun. Don’t just login to share your blog post with alot of URLs. Because many people check out your profile before they add you and when they see very few updates, they know they cannot do any interactive relationship with you and perhaps will not add you in their list. And some people get annoyed by constantly advertising your URL every single update of yours. So, be involved in community while doing your marketing at the same time.

So, Good luck and hope you get good Twitter campaign for your marketing, social networking, jobs, searches or even fun stuff to read.

I am a big fan of do-follow sites, I also allow do-follow on all my websites because it is actually something we can give back to our valuable visitors for their time. So, if anyone comments, you will get one do-follow backlink to your site as long as they are not spams.

Usually, I like to format my computer every once in a while, because I like my computers fresh and fast. And I normally lost all my bookmarks since I frequently forgot to back up.

Since online social bookmarking websites have started, it’s actually now much easier for me to have it kept. So, with this post, I will share 10 do follow social bookmarking sites I like.

1. Blinklist PR8
