Time to Invest In a Profitable Blog

Advertise on blogs

Blogging has become one of the most important aspects of my life. I have been blogging for almost two years. Since the first time I started to blog, I have convinced myself to share my ideas about things that I want my audiences to know.

My first posts are about my personal life. I put many efforts to update my blog by submitting frequent posts full of original quality content. However, no one read it. Then I tried to write about finance related posts hoping that I would get some comments from audiences on the next day but still, not many visitors come to my blog. Luckily, I never gave up; I never stopped updating my blog everyday. After some period, I realized that I need to advertise and promote my blog, but I did not know how.

Nowadays, blogs are no longer recognized simply as online internet journals containing personal opinions, experiences, thoughts, stories, hobbies of their owners. Furthermore, blogs have evolved more into cheap advertising platforms that have been used by millions of people all over the net to solicit opinions, promote goods, and collect feedback from some targeted audiences.

Unfortunately, there are many bloggers out there, all over the net that are not realizing that their blogs are absolutely one of the best money making tools. They are not considering that advertising and blogs are the pillars of any successful online business. They even do not want to know that they can build their money making sites from home and blogging for profit, which will earn them extra cash for that houses they need to purchase, for that cars they want to buy or even for that trips they want to take.

There are millions of blogs over the net today with seemingly thousands starting up each month. All of these blogs are the gateway for the missing link in the online business field. It is important for a blog to show some personality and uniqueness aspect in its postings. By updating our blogs frequently and consistently, we have let our audiences get to know us. This is the key for a longer lasting relationship with them. Those visitors will come to expect more from us and at the same time, they will become our loyal audiences.

Tracking Fabulous Web Site Hosting Solutions

A year ago, I was having my other website’s domain setting problems. I have tried to share it to one of my friends who knows a lot about the technical problems when it comes to web site hosting, domains and other website settings. Perhaps, just because of he was so busy with his work, he only suggested me that I should consider getting myself a web site hosting service. It was a short suggestion, but it had a huge impact to me right now.

Affordable web site hosting is a top choice for Internet marketers taking their business to online consumers. Professional Internet marketers are encouraged to find more information on affordable web site hosting services to avoid frustrations that they will experience when looking for the best web hosting solutions. One of the main reasons that affordable web site hosting is highly recommended over free web hosting options is due to the number of unsightly and very distracting banner ads that show up on our web pages. This is an intolerant disadvantage if we are trying to sell something from our websites.

Recently, there are many affordable web site hosting companies out there touting their services. Some of them are even offered free, but the services will place limitations on what we can and cannot do. For example, we may be barred from using images or more than five web pages. Each of those web site hosting companies has become very competitive player to remain popular in the web hosting industry.

On the other hand, the online consumers need guidance to help them find the best web site hosting services that are offered by the diverse web site hosting services providers, which are the experienced and trust-worthiest Internet web hosting services. They need the best web site hosting services that can ensure them to have e-commerce hosting solution once they have their websites up and running. To be able to fulfill those needs, the online consumers need unbiased information from some kind of web hosting review sites that can provide real honest and comprehensive reviews from actual customers on their websites. By the existence of those websites, the online consumers can keep away from the eluding websites of affordable web site hosting companies that can steer them away from the best.

Interactive and Aesthetic Aspects of Website Design


"It is not the matter of taste; it is more about being the honest person we all try to be when we go to a party. We can put many efforts into our website then find out that our visitors hate it"


When it comes to website design, understanding what visitors want most is necessary, unless we do not want them to visit our website again. However, have we ever considered that our website may be annoying?

The aim of most web designers is to create an attractive, easily navigate and functional website that will persuade and convince the visitor to do something. However, to be able to create such a website requires excellent graphic design, intuitive and easy accessible website, good web copy and logical website layout.

Couples of weeks ago, my friend asked me to check one of the websites she had developed. My is a web designer and her client wanted a nice attractive flash header. Personally, it was a great website; you cannot miss it at all. Some attractive graphics elements were flying in while sound effects created just the right atmosphere. Suddenly, after starting to do some explorations to her website, the header turned into very annoying, it moved very quickly, disturbing my attention and making it hard to read what was on the page. Honestly, she is not the only one to create such annoying website design. There are many webmasters; especially newcomers are absolutely misperception with their ideas and tendency to go overboard with their design in one way or another.

Actually, it is not a mistake to have a nice attractive header. However, is it necessary to assault the visitor's mind with it? Well, in my humble opinion, definitely not! Ironically, webmasters often forget that their Website Design should reflect the website topic to the visitors. Well, it is not difficult to be annoying. Below, some of the highlights, you can decide for yourself whether you have been annoying your visitors or not.
  • Huge font size - Well, if you are doing a hard work for a website that targeted for people with a disability, then you are doing the right thing. However, if not, you are shouting. People dislike it when someone shouts at them.

  • Tiny font size - Well, do you tend to be heard? Try to keep a normal tone, you do not need to shout, try to "speak" in an appropriate volume.

  • Cheesy background music - Unless you are doing music-related business, such as sell music CDs or operating an online Internet radio station, why play a wav/midi file in the background repeatedly on every page?

  • Popup windows - Although many add on tools have blocked it, many webmasters are still using them. The bad news is sometimes we actually miss crucial information because of those anti popup tools.

  • Overlapping layers - Putting an annoying message in your visitor's face is one of the easiest ways to kill your website's traffic.

Perhaps, you have many more annoying design cases in mind. It is not the matter of taste; it is more about being the honest person we all try to be when we go to a party. We can put many efforts into our website then find out that our visitors hate it. Well, I have tried to mention couples of things that might be useful to some webmasters and web designers. You know better yourself than me, but I am going to send this post to my friend, hoping that she will send it to her client.

Small Businesses Need Colocation Facilities


The virtual explosion of the Internet continuing day after day, numerous individuals are discovering that they require websites to boost their businesses.


Nowadays, market demands that we have an online presence. Without a website, our businesses will not able to grow and keep up with the competition. Many big companies charge extremely high prices for supporting online business. However, their size does not necessarily indicate that we would be best off selecting one of them.

It is hard to be able to compete with large corporations for small businesses. Being small, they do not have adequate money or resources necessary to build their own IT infrastructures and host their own web servers. Ironically, they need to have the facilities of large corporations in order to compete with them effectively or their businesses will not be able to survive among the large companies.

Therefore, colocation is the answer regarding to the problem that I have mentioned before. I learned that colocation allows our businesses to have its own dedicated servers without the high-costs of storing and managing it ourselves. We can place our servers in someone else’s rack and share their bandwidth. The benefits that come along with colocation such as the use of the proprietor’s power generator, air-conditioning, network and other stuffs that are needed to host web servers.

One of the main reasons for people considering colocation is that of fire protection. With bunch of servers in one location generating so much heat, fire safety is a concern. The last thing anyone wants is to come in to check on his or her own servers only to find it has been destroyed in a fire. Luckily, fire safety is of the utmost crucial in most colocation facilities.

Finally yet importantly, by using colocation, we will definitely have extra protection and security for our machines. Collocations providers have secure rooms that equipped with emergency back up, power generators and other facilities that will protect our machines should a disaster occur.

Google to Dominate the PPC World


Everyone knows that Google has become the king of the search engine today. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last year or so, you probably realize that Google has become the king of the search engine hill.


Nowadays, there are two very powerful small business-advertising options created by Google. These two ingenious programs have all but revolutionized the way advertising is done on the Web. If you are thinking that the Internet Web advertising is not for you or maybe you just need a few more clients around the block, then, you better read this or are prepared to have your competitors eat your lunch.

Goolge AdSense, which is a program to allow Web site 'publishers' to add some code from Google and receive 'content relevant' ads on their site from other site owners. Here, those ads in the box on the right of the page are supplied by Google and are matched to the content on the page. When someone visits to the page and decides to check out one of those ads, the Web site owner gains a portion of the advertising revenue that Google receives.

Google was the first to figure out that ads should match with the content of the page. That is why if you go to a Web site about fishing, you will see ads about fishing and not about shopping. Google AdSense has worked so well that some Web site owners are actually developing content specific sites and paying for them solely through AdSense revenue.

The fact is the many Web site owners not considering Google AdSense as a tool to generate money, but they have found that Google is so respected and because the ads are highly targeted, they are no longer looked at by surfers as ads, they are looked at as a part of the content. Moreover, some will even go as far as to say that by placing the Google ads on our Web site, we actually better our chances of higher rankings with Google. However, Google flatly denies this claim and I do not consider it is true but I do know that Google AdSense ads should be on every small business owner's site.

The other powerful program is Google AdWords, which is Google’s program that is targeted for advertisers. Here, any Web site that wishes to bid for 'keywords' that are relevant to their service, product, or site and then creates ads to attract hits. These ads show up on private Web sites. For example, on the right side of Google search results like this search for 'Free download music', as you can see from this Google search you received the content related Web sites that you searched for but you also get some related ads that are sponsored.

So where is the genius part of those programs? Instead of simply subjecting surfers to any ads that anyone is willing to pay for, they actually police the ads that are running. On some pay per click programs, whoever is willing to pay to most is the winner. Google uses a performance model. In other words, an ad that is the most relevant and therefore gains the most clicks will move ahead of an ad that may pay more but is not as effective. This simple philosophy is why Google has quickly dominated the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) world.

Google also has a system that allows advertisers to target certain metropolitan markets only. In other words, a remodeling contractor who only wants to do kitchen remodels in say, Los Angeles, can bid on the keyword phrase 'kitchen remodel' and only have his ads show up for people who live in and around Los Angeles. In my humble opinion, small business owners can take lots of benefits by this program to dominate their markets.

Learning from Internet Marketing Gurus


Internet has become so crowded that its contents full of spam and bullshit information. Many people over the net posted and discussed about Internet Marketing, showing that there are competent in such area. More and more people are trapped with ridiculous tips that copy-paste from other sites.


Perhaps, today you are trying these tips, and tomorrow, you are trying those tips. When the time you have realized it, you are just wasting your time with unproven suggestions. Undoubtedly, network marketers need gurus, and the value of a well is priceless. Gurus should be trusted friends, partners, and advisers know the ropes. There are many gurus in my previous company, I trust completely. Moreover, I would probably jump to an ocean, when they told me to!

Fine, I exaggerate here, but you know what I mean. Honestly, there are couples of gurus who are not only successful Internet network marketers, but they are also full of integrity and honesty. Moreover, I have noticed that the best and most successful people in the online Internet business are definitely care about helping other newbie succeed. They are not only gurus for themselves. They are also good mentors for their down-line to be successful, because they reap the advantages and benefits, but it goes even further than we thought.

These gurus are seeking for the sake of great pleasure in helping others in improving their financial and living conditions. The firm receives a bad rap for many times, but I consider it is undeserved. Maybe, many of you have watched the negative side of the network marketing, but I did not. In fact, just the opposite is true. Moreover, I have realized that the majority of those who I have on the straight shooter, they are brutally honest and expect the same from you. This is the main essence of what you want in a guru.

A guru is someone who will notice us how it is. Someone who will remove us from the outset what it will takes to be successful. An excellent guru is not sugarcoated or anything convinces us to wear rose-colored glasses. They are totally donated their dedications to do everything for us to see. They will enlighten us what we have to know and understand. Moreover, we will learn how to succeed by doing what they have shown and by following those paths. Personally, excellent gurus assist us to shorten our learning curve. Yet, they will assist us to avoid the mistakes they made in the past. If we bring his words to heart and believe what they have told to us, then, we are on our way.

Key Information to Choose the Right Web Hosting Company

Choosing a web hosting service among the hundreds or even thousands available online is likely trying to find a needle in a haystack, there are just too many. Adequate knowledge and research of what best fits our needs is a great start towards making the right choice.


Once we decide to start a business using the Internet, it will probably begin with creating a website. That is the way actually should be. Having a website up and running is no different from having a place of business in our reality world. For a new or small business, choosing a cheap web hosting service is important to the future success of their websites. Undoubtedly, a cheap web hosting is always the solution for those who are tight on budget.

Nowadays, it takes at least an hour for me to download an illegally pirated movie from other websites over the net. I just cannot imagine of anything more backwards and unjust. However, I am sure that my web-hosting provider is reliable. I have seen it making it to one of the top of the web hosting rating websites.

With the massively fast growth of the Internet over the past years, web hosting has become a huge business. There are not less than tens of thousands of companies out there all competing for customers. Moreover, these companies fighting against each other by offering the lowest priced monthly payment plans while giving their customers huge bandwidth and storage limits.

The question is should we ever find ourselves needing web hosting there will be no shortage of companies willing to take our money? To the average person, plans for less than $5-per-month with “unlimited” bandwidth and storage seem like the best option. However, this is just a creative ploy to get us to hand over our money. It is all in the term of service and contracts that we agree to when we make a purchase. Should we decide to read those? We will find what unlimited really means.

As the time goes on, most people soon find out that their unlimited resources web-hosting plan is not what it seems. Usually, this happens when their website grows to a paint that is it using too many resources and the host downright shuts down their account. The question is how exactly we go about finding the best deals. Where do we go to find information on multiple web hosts? We definitely need a review site!

Nevertheless, this may not be as simple as we thought. Nowadays, most of the web-hosting review websites all over the net are influenced by how much they make off a sale when they refer a customer to a web host. Those websites will usually have a top 10-host list with the company that pays the highest commission listed at #1. In my humble opinion, such websites do not assist anybody searching for hosting since they provide biased reviews of each host. Moreover, if you were in the market to by hosting why would you want to visit one of those websites? You would not want to consider they do not provide honest reviews of web hosts.

Fear not, luckily, there are websites out there that provide real honest reviews. They determine the best web hosts by having actual customers leave reviews on their websites. Such websites are not concerned whether or not they are making the most money because they would rather serve and provide us with a high quality company. Knowing that those websites rank web hosts by how well actual customers rate them, we can be assured that we are finding the best provider.

Get Top Search Engine Ranking

There is a time when a webmasters site or blog to appear at the top of Google’s search results, especially if the site or blog is actually selling a stuff or service.


Nowadays, in a competitive industry this would mean that the orders would start rolling in with such a massive force that business would grow incredibly quickly. Moreover, the constant war to optimize a site or blog for traffic and gain new visitors in one that any serious blogger understands. In this valuable chance, I am about to tell you my own experience of practicing “Search Engine Optimization” techniques in this blog.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the art of optimizing a site or blog to generate traffic from search engines; an operation made to improve the chance for our site or blog to appear in search-engine result pages; group of techniques to enhance a site or blog so that it appears at the top of the search engine listings. Some professional bloggers consider SEO as a practice of designing web pages so that they rank as high as possible in search results of search engines, which is a tactics and strategies undertaken to improve web pages so they earn a higher ranking in the search engines. In specific, SEO is the process of improving the volume of traffic to a website from search engines via natural (algorithmic or organic) search results for targeted keywords.

A site that is optimized for search engines can have significant advantages for our site and our business. If you are still confused with the term of SEO, then you should not worry, because SEO is just all about our way to tell the search engines what our sites or blogs are relevant to. Seriously, there is not that much of fear even if you have no idea right now what is really meant by having a search engine optimization site or blog.

I am sure that if you are asking SEO strategies with other experts, you will get a different answer. However, the foundation of a successful SEO program consists of the following building blocks:

  • try to write your own unique content (original, meaning you wrote it yourself or you paid someone to write it for you) as many as you can,

  • try to provide a website with lots of original content and avoid using automatic generated software to produce contents for your site or blog,

  • try to provide simple navigation from the homepage of your site or blog to every other page of your site or blog,

  • try to provide non-static contents site or blog, which is means that you always grow with new content on a regular basis,

  • try to make our site or blog readable (search engine spiders cannot read JavaScript for instance, so you will get no credit for whatever content is in that application on your site or blog),

  • try to do your link exchange proposal with other relevant sites or blogs.


Of all those practices that I have mentioned above, content is the most important thing about a site or blog. We should strive as hard as we can to make our site or blog friendly to the search engines meaning no JavaScript or other useless stuff. Just provide excellent old-fashioned HTML is more than enough. Undoubtedly, HTML is the way most people construct their sites or blogs.

Again, we should use a good density of our main keyword phrase for each page of our site or blog within the content. If we are going after a high ranking for phrase “Fake PayPal”, then we need to have that phrase in the title of the page and throughout the content.

I admit that I am biased, as a blogger, I might claim text is the most important component. On the other hand, a web developer might claim link building is the most important. Well, the choice is up to you. Finally yet importantly, I have seen SEO scale across very large sites through automation and delegation, rather than doubtfully SEO strategies. Just like with most things, the secret lies in working smarter, not harder.

Don’t Waste Time Chasing Reciprocal Linking Partners


Perhaps, if we compared with other online writers, bloggers are undeniable the most generous when it comes to linking. Most bloggers actively link to sites they love but many times, the favor is not returned.


There are many reasons for me to link to another site in my posts. For those generous bloggers, they link to other sites because of the page they link to be relevant and important to the article they are writing and or the page is on a friends blog, which is a blog that they like or a related blog.

As a time goes on, we may notice that we are linking to certain blogs in our niche quite frequently after a few months of blogging. The authority blogs in our niche are usually the ones that break news and they stimulate many fresh discussions. Therefore, they are linked to more often. In addition, bloggers also find inspiring stimulation for posts from blogs they subscribe to and read on a daily basis.

Linking to articles or posts that relevant to the point that we are trying to make is important. In fact, it is good to show some link love too, even if the post is perhaps not as relevant. I’ve seen many bloggers all over the net do this by including links to articles or posts from other blogs in their own posts (particularly newer or smaller blogs). Moreover, some of them are totally copying whole of the post and putting some information that the post was taken from bla-bla-bla. Well, there are couple of reasons for doing this, the first is to link back to a blog that has linked to us (if we are linked), the second is to get the attention of a blogger (usually more popular blog/blogger), and finally, to get a trackback link on another blog.

In other word, the blogs that we link to frequently are usually the blogs that we visit regularly too. Unfortunately, we may catch up these blogs rarely, if ever, link back. Simply, the reason of why authority blogs don’t link back as they get hundreds if not thousands or even millions of links to their posts so unless we’ve a news-breaking story, it is unlikely they will link to us. It is a different story with blogs of a similar or smaller size to ours. If we are linking to such blogs regularly and they are not doing the same thing to us, then we might want to reconsider our linking policy. Damn, we need to take some actions, but we don’t need to buy a link to get higher pagerank.

I know that if you read my post until this part, then we are speaking in the same language here. Subconsciously, I think we all have some of linking policy when it comes to our blogs, particularly after we’ve been updating our blogs for couple of months.

My link policy is dynamic; I never set it in stoner. Whenever I feel I need to link to other pages and its relevant to the post I am writing and if I come across an interesting story via a particularly site, I will acknowledge it in the post. There are times when a link is not necessary but I may include it anyways and in such conditions, I always hope they will link back.

I find out that some bloggers are very generous with links; some of them are very stingy whereas some hardly link at all. I would like to think that I lie somewhere around the middle. I do always link to posts when they are relevant and give them credit who pointed me in the right direction, but I don’t spend time inserting links to other blogs in my posts or articles just to get trackbacks. So, what is our linking policy? I would love to hear more from you about this matter.

Blogging Success Takes A Few Months


The popularity blogging contest, gaining links and traffic does not happen in a single night. In fact, it takes lots of time and need an extra work.


Most people are arguing that content is king. This statement probably right or may be wrong. The point is whatever your idea, no matter how you choose to present it, there is always somebody out there over the net will do it as well or better.

Even Bruce Lee, the legendary martial artist, a guru of Jeet Kune Do, had understood this. While his popularity would have earned him a massive following had he lived long enough to blog, you probably do not have that cushion of love. In fact, you will not get that love, or the valuable links that feed a blog. Not without putting huge of efforts, baby.

Most of Bloggers link more often to their buddies than anyone else, including you and me. If you write a reasonably excellent piece of content that interests their audience, they probably will link to you, mainly because they like you or even admiring you.

Here are some advices on earning this adoration. Some of it seems more reasonable compared with the others, like writing a guest post on a popular blog versus volunteering to vote up their posts on social media sites. Anyone who can get into a popular blog with a guest post probably has enough high-powered buddies to get links from them already.

Commenting intelligently on their posts online, networking in person, and conducting an interesting interview of the desired popular blogger offer chances at longer-term relationships that could lead to inbound linking and the followers who click them.

Being ignored is suck, but there is no need for us to sad for such discrimination. Neither is hard work, but without the latter, it is difficult to resolve the former without some ultra-rare bit of serendipity happening for your blog. I think it is better to depend on the hard work than a fleeting bit of good fortune, because the God never create this world by throwing a dice.

Jayenigmatic: The Typical College Life


I love surfing. I mean surfing on the Internet. Blogging and surfing are the art of living in my entire life on the Internet. It cannot be separated. Blogging can rejuvenate my life; it can refresh my mind. On the other hand, surfing can add me more knowledge, I can get any information that I want just on single click.

Few hours ago, I stopped at Jayant's World and read several posts. The maintainer of this blog is Jayant Shekhar, an Electrical Engineering student in Manipal, India. I found out that this blog is covering about his daily activities as a college student. It seems that the blogger want his readers to get informed with his college life that usually ups and downs. On the other hand, he wants his readers to get informed with latest news, sports and trends in India. He is also a good reviewer; you can easily find many review posts in his blog.

Jayant always dream of the best things of life. However, sometimes he feels bored and lazy enough to make his dream come true. I am admiring his thinking methods. He confidents of challenging the best of brains, he is a quiet, reserved, introvert and shy person in my point of view. However, I am sure that he is trying to let people know about him through his posts, because most of people that I have met are trying to spread out his/her words through his/her blogs.

Search Engine Optimization: What Bloggers Should Know


Search engines are very complicated. Sometimes, you do not know why your blogs are well ranked. Sometimes, you even cannot save a good place in search engines for a long time especially for blogs. If you realize it, there are techniques that enable your blogs to appear higher in a list of search engine results. You can optimize your blogs for specific keyword phrases to encourage a better position when these phrases are part of a web search. Those techniques that make our blogs to be ranked on top of search engine results pages once a relevant search is performed is called search engine optimization.

Search engine optimization is an aspect that all of us need to place a high importance if we want to make our site to get a higher rank in the search engine for the keyword that we are targeting for. It is unfair to label a whole industry based on one shady operator. Search engine optimization is powerful; it is an important stuff. However, not too many bloggers pay attention to search engine optimization when it comes to their own blogs. I think mostly because they might not understand it. Most of the bloggers are not comprehend the offsite techniques of search engine optimization.

The offsite techniques of search engine optimization are factors from outside the blog itself (other sites) that impact the blog’s ranking in the search engines. The most powerful offsite factor are inbound links. The links that point to our blogs are one of the most powerful ways to climb the search engines results pages. If you realize it, every link to our blogs is seen by the search engines as a vote of confidence in our site. The best-inbound links are the links that came from higher ranked sites than our, the sites that relevant to our topic that we are writing about and the sites that are linking to our blogs using relevant keywords.

I have not mentioned many other techniques of search engine optimization on this post. Therefore, I have to surf on the Internet to find out more and more. When I have known it, I will post it to all of you, my great readers.

Improve Your Mind with Instant Hypnosis


As a blogger, I have always wanted to strive for success. In my dictionary, success does not come easily, and frustrate automatically builds up each time the traffic of my blog is drop. I always face problems when I am trying my best to write a good post for my great readers. Sometimes, my mind tends to float elsewhere every time when I need it the most.

I have been spending many times recently trying to relax and honestly, it is not working well. I have lots going on right now and I am not sleeping very well. This is sounds weird because my days are very relaxed. I have been reading many articles on self-development. I have tried to open my mind for many inspirational quotes, which make me think more.

Someone has suggested that I needed to be hypnotized in order to clear my mind from stress. He told me that not everyone could enjoy the advantages of hypnosis. Moreover, he said that this method is works exceptionally well for a limited section of the people. As I am always on the lookout for new methods to develop myself, then I am sure that any kind of self-improvement involving the mind is intriguing to me, and then I decided to look into things that can offer me better solution for my problems.

At this time, I would like to share a great site, which utilizes the power of hypnosis to for personal growth and self-development. I recently found myself at a site dedicated to help people, like me, with valuable self-development. It is called Instant-Hypnosis.com. This site provides various hypnosis downloads including skill-improvements, self-improvement, overcome phobias, and much more. You can find and purchase it in MP3 format or even purchase the CD versions. Finding your way around this site is a breeze. Finally, if you find yourself struggling with stress, then you should pay Instant-Hypnosis.com a visit.

Traffic and Ads: Which Do You Prefer?


Is it true that putting ads on our blogs can kill our traffic? Some people believe that putting ads on their own blogs will kill the traffic to their blogs. The reason is the ads will drive the visitors away, and they will never visit the blogs again. If that is happening to your blogs, it is means that you have killed your own blogs.

After six months blogging, I have realized that the statement above is completely very wrong. I am telling you that putting ads on your blogs will not kill your blogs’ traffic. If you want to know what has happened to this blog after put up more ads, then I only can tell you that nothing is happening with the traffic. In fact, the traffic of this blog has been increasing for the past of few months.

When we have decided to put ads on our blogs, then we must accept all the consequences of that action. In my experiences, try to put ads that not take too much times to load in your blogs. If you can pick up the right ads programs to your blogs, then there is nothing to be worried. It will not bother the visitors of your blogs.

You might want to know, why people put ads on their own blogs. The answer is very simple; to maintain those blogs, the bloggers have to take serious efforts. I have to admit it that I am not a full time blogger. I have a job as a programmer; I have to finish my own job at my office. I have tried to update this blog everyday. However, the Blogspot would not allow me to do it. I cannot set up the timestamp of each post. Moreover, I only consider maintaining this blog by myself.

There is one thing that I have not told to all of you. I do not blog on Saturday and Sunday, because there are many things that I have to finish. I have to teach on Saturday and Sunday, because I am a private teacher. I teach Math for junior and senior high students. That is why; you will not see any update on Saturday and Sunday. Whether only two posts in a week, I will always update this blog. I love this blog and I will maintain it well, although this blog is only a free sub-domain blog of blogspot.

Okay, we must back again to our discussion about putting ads. There is one thing that you should aware; you must brave to get rid of the ads that annoying your blogs, such as pop-ups and interstitials (the ads that flies across your screen). Even though those ads make more money to you, in my humble opinion, those ads has definitely annoying your visitors. They will hate it. Therefore, you must be aware to put ads on your blogs.

Blogging for Better Human Beings


Recently, I have seen many bloggers among the blogsphere are struggling to earn more and more money. However, they have forgotten the essential characteristic of blogging. Most of the bloggers are blogging for the sake of money, not for the sake of personal development. That is why I am sure that those bloggers who only blogging for the sake of money will never get very far. Your first motivation is not for the sake of blogging, but for the sake of money.

I have found several motifs from the bloggers that I have known from many blogging communities. Those motifs are make money online, relationship, personal development, improving language skill, serving the visitors, giving enlightenment to others, popularity, or even disguising him/her own face. Actually, there are many more motifs, but I cannot mention it all, you have to figure it out yourself. No matter what the purpose for us to blog, we must always remember that we need to keep our blog’s credibility.

Whether I am paid or not for a post, I will always try to keep on my mind that I am blogging because I love to do such thing. Although you might disagree with me, I just want to say that the best part of blogging for generating income is the freedom it brings. I can always work from everywhere that I want and I can set my own hours. I can spread everything that stuck on my head and I am able to spend my time to do what I love most. To help other people with great advices is equal to help yourself.

To earn money from your blog is not forbidden thing. However, if your site is just made for money, then you should be aware. Money is just adornment, our inner beauty that matters. Perhaps, your purpose for blogging is differ from me, I want to blog because I absolutely love personal development, I do not offer e-book or even begging for donation from my readers to earn some bucks. However, real maturity that makes us better human beings and that is my biggest hope right now.

Reward Your Visitors with New Posts


One of the most awesome qualities of the Internet is the ability of bringing the world close together. The Internet has enabled people who fill one tiny corner of interest to come together, promoting to each other weblog, sharing wonderful ideas, and growing as a niche community.

The best way to provide your weblog with great contents is to focus directly at niche markets. You need to identify yourself as an expert in the field that you are targeting. However, you must not leave your original thinking, just because you want to get more visitors. You have to be yourself; a weblog is created to introduce yourself to the world. Let them know more about you and you have to share with them too.

If you cannot realize it as I have mentioned above, then you do not need to feel sad about it. Like this weblog, you can see that the contents are covered with various topic areas that most likely look not focus. However, I am telling you again, this weblog is my personal shout, I do not want to be one of millions, but I want to be one in millions.

Being a Guru is good. However, a Guru is only a man who sits on the mountain, dispensing advice. Well, in my humble opinion, you do not need to sit on a mountain to dispense advice if you are going to be a guru. All you need is just sitting in front of your computer, and then you need to be connected to the Internet. Then you settle your weblog, write useful contents, attract your visitors, help them with positive tips and tricks, give them useful information and reward them with new contents everyday.

Increase the Rank of Your Weblog with Linking


You might want to know how linking can improve your rank. This statement is not persuading you to commit over-linking strategy for your weblog. To commit too many links exchange is not good for your weblog, if you want me to tell you in honest, then I only can say that excessive links exchange will kill your weblog’s traffics.

Search engines catalog your contents, they are looking for keywords and links, and then they are using those keywords and links as criteria to value your weblog with their own ranking system. However, you should notice that each of those search engines define some different algorithm to proceed the query from their users.

The search engines look at is how many times a weblog is linked to from other weblogs. Weblogs that are more frequently linked are more likely to have better information resources, which is means that the weblog is very useful for the other people that retrieve information from the search engines.

Weblogs that are well correlated with some search terms are more likely to be linked to from other weblogs. The best way to increase the rank of your weblogs is to be linked to from weblogs with identical or related keywords. For example, SurayBlog is better to be linked to from the Blogspot’s sub-domain weblogs.

A weblog that has the highest degree of correlation with a keyword is more likely to be linked with that keyword. This means that the perfect link is comes from a weblog with similar information to yours, but not competing, to maximize the effect of the link, you can pick up niche keywords as an anchor text. Make sure that your weblog are linked from many similar sites with yours.
