09 Mar 09 Facebook bid to Twitter Failed

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.

25 Feb 09 Advantages of do-follow Plugin for WordPress

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?

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.

Thanks for reading
