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.

The attraction of blog

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.

Why you should not blog?

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?

Well, I am not a super blogger and can’t write many blogs anyways. There are actually two reasons regarding this.One, I don’t produce my articles on daily basis and I don’t write much unless there’s something I can definitely deliver to my audience.

I love to visit some websites and blogs just to learn more because there are fantastic people who write absolutely wonderful articles about other things.

Anyway, today, I stumbled across this blog article about domain registration length and SEO (search engine optimization), and it is actually intriguing. The article is actually part of their 30 days SEO training. I am against with duplicate content and love to credit to the original author. So, credit to thekeywordacademy.com, here is the post about Domain name expiry date vs Google SEO.

Extend Your Domain Registration Length For Better SEO

I absolutely love it, what do you think?

There are a couple of ways to initiate page relevancy for search engines. One could be on page optimization for relevancy.

It involves placing your keywords in tactical locations of the pages on your website. Remember, you always prepare for search engines, but always think of your audience first. I will not crazily use too many keywords but no information. Always keep in mind; human beings are the most important factor in success of your website, at the same time, you would love to get the job done for search engines as well.

So, what are on page relevancy and its optimization?

The significant ones are

• header tags
• internal links
• external links
• headline
• anchor text
• bold, underline, italic text
• image names, image description, ALT tags
• page name, page body, title, description and
• keywords

Well, everytime you create a page, you will probably want to rememer these tips to optimize, for example, as a blogger, you can actually develope a lot of thing in one post, different headers, URL linkages, even different headers and a little bit effort to tag and name image descriptions, of course, carefully considering page name, paragraphs, title and descriptions that can actually become a really good keywords for search engines.

Even bold color is pretty much helpful, so is italic text. These functions are not only available for differentiate, but also point out which part is imperative and what not. As we all actually scan and screen most of the known keywords if entire text is unchanged. For example, placing Ads on left hand side could attract more as people start to read from left to right in majority of languages.

Try them, and search some of your keywords yourself after you optimize, and share your experiences because it works for me.

For we all know, twitter is coming along nicely in blogger world. However, Facebook failed to bid twitter eventually and It may be the end of the rumor for possible merger between two big guns.

Of course, the main reason is about price and structure between two companies and the most important thing is the difficulty to determine the value of the stocks of twitter.

These two companies are pretty famous for web 2.0 environment, so that people are intrigued about this particular news. However, it is actually irony that these companies do not make massive amount of revenue yet, but looks very much likely to be potential market in a near future.

In my opinion, twitter will be a next big thing for web 2.0. It is just a matter of time whether Facebook or Google will buy Twitter off.

Recently, I have installed do-follow enabled comment plugin on my sites and It works like a charm. As you may all have known wordpress and most of the blogs have disabled in default, however, if you can control your spam, there’s actually better way you can take control of do-follow links.

So, i installed this fantastic do-follow plugin for my wordpress and I have actually received more comments than before just in a few couple of days. That is awesome, isn’t it?

do-follow

What are the advantages of do-follow?

Of course, there are bunch of advantages for do-follow sites, I will summarize for both myself and the rest of my visitors.

1. Default settings are always on a safe side. Once you enabled do-follow link there’s imminent threat of spamming. LOL, all you need to have a a couple of top rated spam filters such as Akismet and so on. On the bright side, it’s massive traffic. There’s always an opportunity cost for higher traffic, that comes with higher spams.

2. Repeating comments, there are two ways to follow up repeating comments, one to reply each visitor comment, and another one from visitor’s reply. Confused? Bottom line, your blog post may earn more than 2 comments from each entry because many people will comment you genuinely, on the other hand, if your visitors are clever enough, they make sure they write more than 1 comment at your blog, or reply to the same comment so that the search engine bots will read them more than once.

3. Don’t worry about PR/Alexa, they are alternative ways to benchmark your site, especially I don’t believe in Alexa ranking. I would trade more traffic than getting better PR/Alexa ranking. That’s the truth. Do-follow blogs are actually giving legit backlinks to your commentors, but don’t worry, you get heaps of traffic and your ranking will grow because It just does it.

4. Encouraging your readers to comment is best thing for bloggers. You allow backlinks, you encourage your readers that you are giving something back , rather than expecting something, that builds a great relationship to your readers as well.

5. By sharing about do-follow to those who do not know, you take control of knowledge that your visitors/readers do not know yet. It is a good opportunity your readers are bloggers and this will also help them to get backlinks which bloggers indeed love.  The more you can help a hand, the smarter you sound, don’t you?

6. Since I have carefully built my site around big search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN , ask.com , etc etc. I have very confident that every single page of mine is properly pinged and quickly indexed. Make sure you use sitemap xml and site verifications with Google, Yahoo! and MSN to get faster search engine updates. Easy Breezy method for organic search.

7. It creates a larger community. Why? Because you have no-follow blog before, now you enabled do-follow site, that’s where you have massive members and visitors to make a geniune comments and in return they get backlinks for their PR or more traffic, it’s a win-win situation and you also get to know your readers. Spam filters will actually differentiate your readers and just those people who want backlinks and etc.

8. The quality backlinks are important and half the time, many people do not understand what they mean. It depends on the place where you put your comments as well as your niche. If you are car-sales category and make a comment on this infomm.com website, you are not getting quality backlinks, that’s for 100% sure. Maybe, a legit backlinks. You need to find similar niche for your site, so that you leave comment accordingly.

9. Okay, #9 is NONE , just start doing what I have mentioned above. You will see the difference. Now, start getting quality backlinks by leaving comment on this post.

It is believed that 97% of blogs failed because of three main things,

• They don’t write regularly
• They don’t write unique content &
• They don’t write attractively.

So, join the 3% who made the list of successful bloggers. The key to achievement on making money online is to master in demanding niches. Simply, if you niche has lower competition, you will be easily targeted, you can convert your traffic into money easier if interested visitors can find you easier. Thus SEO (Search Engine Optimization) becomes one of the most important factors.

Moreover, always deliver the tasty and theme content to your visitors. For example, if you are talking about “basketball”, make sure you always include in topics and keywords that are strong for your niche such as “LeBron James, FIBA, NBA, World Championship, Michael Jordan, and Chicago Bulls” according to the relevancy. That will not only help you indexing in search engine effectively, but also let you own more keywords as you have more contents in a particular niche. As a result, the winning formula is to create a theme-based content site for your audience. At the same time, it’s important you keep these three main things on a regular basis so that you can get repeated visitors as well.

 Conclusion: if you don’t have possession of your own traffic, you don’t own your business.
