Blogs and Blogging

Targeted Content Is the Key - FruitfulTime

A common mistake that website owners and bloggers do is that they try to convey a message that their website or blog is a catchall website. They try to write about every topic, with the aim of ranking in each topic.

If you do this, your website is not optimised for any topic. Search engines like focused websites, with related content and internally linked accordingly. By creating focused websites, it will be easier to rank for relevant keywords in the respective topic.

Internet Marketing

How to Create the Buzz That Every Sheep Will Follow - Bart

Launch a blog, shoot the comments
Without blog & your own community you don’t look like a serious person - it goes without saying. You need to look professionally, every professional web entrepreneur should have a batch of comments below every single post. If you don’t have enough friends, at worst you can deactivate the Aksimet plugin!

Webmaster Intel Basics - Sagar Satapathy

Your rankings don’t just depend on how good your site is. They depend on the quality of your competitors’ sites as well. As a result, keeping an eye on your competition should be a regular part of every webmaster’s tactical plan. Use these 25 tools to get the lowdown on their sites.

Secret Ingredient in Your Business - Terry Dean

Take a look at all the “marketing experts” you know. They all have a different personality that comes through in their writing, their products, and their speech. Is for example, James Brausch the same as Jimmy Brown? No. Is John Reese the same as Mark Hendricks? No. While there may be a few similarities you can tell the difference from their writing and how they conduct their business.

Making Money

AdSense Psychology - Robinson Go

This post incorporates Psychology into Google AdSense! Just use your common sense and you’ll know that this is actually very practical. If you’re going to place ads in your website or blog and you’re indifferent as to where you’re going to place your ads (left or right), think! Let’s apply common sense in this scenario. Majority of the people in this world are right handed. Well that’s a fact, so what? Think deeper and you’ll imagine that almost everyone uses the Computer Mouse with their right hand. So what does this imply. This implies that the center of a prospective ad-clicker is gravitated to the right side of the page! Thus, if you’re going to place ads, place it nearer the right side of the page!

Search Engine Optimization

Google Penalizing Sites Selling Text Links - vijay

It’s for sure that Google is penalizing sites selling text links. Google is against text links as it unnecessarily brings some Google juice to irrelevant sites. The Google guy Matt Cut was pointing this major Google concern about sites selling paid and irrelevant text links. Google also added webmaster feature to report sites selling paid links. This was clearly a red flag about what is going to be in coming days and it is just happening. Matt suggested some ethical ways like if you are selling links on your site then use nofollow tag to these links. Also mention clearly that these are sponsored links.

Use the BuyMeABeer Plugin to Your Advantage - Ruchir

Almost every blogger in the blogosphere has the Buy Me a Beer plugin installed. Use that fact to your advantage. How? Let me tell you how. Whenever someone donates you a couple of dollars, you always mention and thank them in one of your posts. You link to them and encourage other people to buy you a beer so that they can get mentioned too. It’s not only you who does it like this. Almost all sites with the plugin installed mention the beer buyers at least once a month.
