Syndicate Kahuna - Stress Relief For Blog Owners

By Terry Schierer

Syndicate Kahuna means a breath of fresh air for owners of blogs. As you know the big drawback or the big killer of blogs is fresh content. Lots of fresh content delivered daily or at least two to three times a week.

Just starting a blog is no problem. The ideas abound and come out like streams of mountain water, pure and clean. Then the stream narrows, ideas become smaller and smaller and the water is not so clean anymore. Soon the ideas dry up and you really have to get out the shovel and dig to find water.

If you have reached the digging point then you know it's not fun anymore. It's a job, and that's what you were trying to avoid by doing internet marketing. The dreaded J word.

Freedom is the internet marketers dream. Freedom to do what you want, when you want and where you want. Yet most internet marketers start a blog or ten blogs and start writing, then they learn about keyword research, so now before writing they do keyword research which constitutes another job. This is becoming fun isn't it?

Not only will the post be fresh new content it will be keyword rich. Just the kind of post to give your blog monetization a kick, which means more money for you.

15 Links on Your Blog Which Decrease Page Rank

By Louis Liem

Whatever your opinion to PageRank , the higher it is, the better it will effect your blog. Especially if we concern much about PR, we have been busy in our effort to get the highest boost of PageRank in the next update. A lot of effort has gone into it, hours of creating contents, dropping comments, introducing ourselves and articles which probably spend numerous countless nights.

However, let us not forget that in order to make those link building attempts effective, we need to tweak some parts of our blog as well (some of us may find more things to optimize than others.

I'm talking about how your blog/site carries and distributes link juice it receives from another blog/site. There's one matter you need to know: patch the holes and pass on the flows.

Imagine there are 100 do follow links pointing to your front page. And on the page, you link to your individual articles, categories, date archives, tag clouds, policy page, and of course your feed subscription link. Between all those pages, which one will be the most suitable to rank the highest on the search engine result pages (SERP)? I'm sure you agree that it's the individual post pages. You don't need your policy page to rank #1 on SERP more than your featured post, do you?

You can start re-arranging how your blog handles links by adding no follow to internal pages you don't need them to appear on search engines. Or at least, you don't need them to rank high. Internal links to consider are:

  1. the link to your own homepage - people say the more links pointing to a certain page, the higher the page will rank. It's true...if the link comes from a different domain.

  2. your feed link - some of you may disallow your feed to be indexed. This way, there's no use to link them with dofollow since search engines won't list them. If no one will see it, no use to dress it. If for any reasons you allow indexing of your feed, nofollow is still needed. Unless you want to generously flow your hard earned gold links to Feedburner or Feedblitz which they already abundantly have.

  3. your tag cloud, date and category based archive - I set my robots.txt to block search engines from indexing those pages. That's why, for the same reasons as above, links to them don't need to be dofollowed.

  4. your policy page - Simply put, there's still a lot of thirsty new articles gasping for fresh link juice.

  5. your sitemap page - You don't need to have your sitemap indexed if you have submitted it to search engines. Less pages indexed means you can feed more articles the dofollow links.

  6. links to your authors page - Some of you may need the authors page to get a good SERP. Some who don't can no-follow these links.

  7. links to edit your post - Definitely no-follow in my opinion.

  8. links to categories archive - It also depends on if you'd like the categories archive page to hit the #1 page of Google or prioritizing the individual posts. I myself prefer my individual posts rather than categories archive pages.

  9. links to the comment section - It's useful for navigation, but I suggest to address them no-follow.

  10. page numbers navigation - If your categories archive is divided into multiple pages and you don't follow links to your category archives, then you need to follow it up by no-following page number links.

  11. subscribe to comments links - Usually they point to your feed service. But if they go to your own feed address, you can no-follow them for the same reason as #2

  12. links to enlarged pictures - Some of you may value pictures higher for your topic/niche, so the decision depends on your purposes with those pictures.

  13. blogroll...? - The decision is completely up to you. But don't let them know what you're doing.

  14. links to popular pages - like Google.com, Facebook.com, you name them. Again, the decision is yours. If you feel like giving them a credit, do so.

  15. commentator names - Depends on whether you're following your commentators or not, you can always switch the to no-follow/do-follow.

Before looking for more links to no-follow, I'd like to remind you of links you should follow . Not much, they are supposed to be your theme author link, your blogroll (depends on you), links your posts are referring to (if any) and sites/blogs inspire your posts.

Hopefully before applying further link-building strategy , you can provide some time to analyze your link flows and optimize them to get the best results.

The Best Blogging Secret I Ever Learned I Learned in a Blog, Go Figure

By Kevin D Browne

The best blogging suggestion I can give you is something you may already know. But it bears repeating. Blogs attached to your domain are your #1 way to dominate the keywords in your niche.

Let's say you're a local painting company. You have a website, and have been told (correctly) to throw up a blog and to contribute to it DAILY.

Why? Aren't you up to your ears in paint after a long day. Haven't you had it with colors and brushes and the fact that several of your guys keep falling off ladders?

You contribute to your blog AFTER you do some keyword research because when you do (and that research can be done for free) you can 'own' all of the keywords that will enable local customers to find you.

"Affordable Painting In San Diego."

"Chicago's Best Local Painters."

"Local Denver Painting Companies That Are Fast."

Those are all single keywords. Those are all opportunities for you to own those keywords as you contribute to your blog using those keywords on a daily basis. PS...using a Free Wordpress blog will increase your results dramatically...but that's just between you and me.

In effect, blogging correctly and religiously is like give hungry Google what it wants...because people are typing in those search terms! And it is the job of a search engine to find the results for those people. And if you contribute enough of them to your blog and make the search engines' lives easier, you get higher and higher rankings.

Higher and higher rankings mean you get more and more traffic.

More and more traffic mean you get the OPPORTUNITY to make more and more sales.

It is at this exact stage of your best blogging practices that you take a further step, a step that I am now teaching to hundreds of other web owners. And it is this next step that takes your online businesses to heights you could not imagine.

Heights those guys who keep falling off ladders would NEVER get to.

Blogging For Success and Making Money Online

By Katarzyna Greco

Blogging for success could be the mode to describe your easy start into the big world of online business and internet marketing strategies.

Blogging for Success is also training at the same time. Each time that you post a blog, you will receive a training on the three main aspects of your business:

1) The product or service you offer;

2) The Internet Tools that you use versus the others available;

3) The Online Business Evolution; a very fast moving and changing business environment where it is not always easy to keep up the pace.

Writing about your product or service, you have to think about the product or service you offer. You will want to enlighten it from different perspectives to attract new customers. You might find new ways to market your product or service simply by writing regularly about it and elaborating any comments you might get.

Another important source of information for your blog, to be a successful marketing machine, is to visit competitors' blogs and sites and identify there what comments customers (that eventually are also your potential new clients) leave there. If clients like the other services due to a specific format, tool or whatever it might be, evaluate the possibility of implementing it yourself as well, of adapting your service and offering, or maybe only the wording of any of your announcements or ads.

On the other side it is your blog that will start, if you write regularly your posts, bringing you traffic to your site, free traffic! Having and feeding a blog is an enormous opportunity for driving massive traffic to your site. It is an easy-to-go method out of so many available in the vast world of online marketing.

This will give you the important background information of having heard about, ready for the day your customers or your competitor's clients start asking for it. It is part of competitive advantage that you can earn here through knowledge and interest.

As it comes to Google and all the other search engines, they like new content and they like to know that you and your site are active regularly and not just then and now. There are six points, one the normal consequence of the previous one, that make your blog a success for you:

Getting Advertisers to Advertise in Your Blog

By Pranav Pillai

There are several ways to monetize a blog. One of the most commonly used is by selling advertising space, either through text-based advertising or banner ads. But to do either of these, you will have to look for advertisers who will pay to have their ads placed on your web pages. If you're unsure on what to do and how to do it, here are tips to help you find blog advertisers to help you generate revenue with your website:

Promote. Instead of just leaving possible banner ad locations blank, let advertisers know that they are up for grabs. Use 'Advertise Here' or 'Your Ad Here' texts to indicate their availability.

When advertisers click on these areas, they will arrive on a page where information about buying ad space will be provided. Make sure that there is a web page that will be used for this purpose specifically. This page may either contain information about your terms or it could be a link that will allow your advertiser to send you an e-mail.

Seek out advertisers actively. Other than openly promoting your blog for ads, you could also find blog advertisers by targeting them. That way, you get to choose who will place their ads on your blog. A standard letter of approach to advertisers should contain:

- a brief introduction about yourself

- a short explanation of the purpose of your e-mail

- a short explanation why you're soliciting their sponsorship or ads

- a concise explanation of the benefits of placing ads on your blog

- details regarding your advertising terms (type of ad placements, industry to which your advertisers belong, maximum number of ads in one webpage, cost, method of payment, etc.)

- important details about your site, such as your subject matter, audience, number of traffic, etc.

Offer sponsorship. Blog sponsorships are fast becoming a trend online, as the number of businesses utilizing blogs as an extension of their marketing efforts increases. Through sponsorship, you will be working closely with a company (your advertiser) and promote their products and services through your blogs. Your web pages will also carry that company's name, brands and logo.

You could also come up with a sponsorship deal wherein specific parts of your blog's content will be sponsored by the advertiser. This type of blog advertising works well if your site is quite popular already and has a considerable number of visitors.

Do a keyword search. There are many companies and individuals using Google AdWords who might be interested in an arrangement with you. Do a simple keyword or key phrase search regarding major topics on your blog. Then seek out sponsored links and find out about the companies that pay for them. Get in touch with these people and offer your blog for their ads.

Take advantage of links. Blogs and other sites that link with your blog are potential advertisers. If they find your blog interesting enough to link with, they might be open for negotiations regarding advertising. You might want to send them an e-mail to let them know your blog is available for advertising.

Tap people who use your forums or leave messages. Another way to find blog advertisers is to offer your ad spots to people who leave comments or messages on your blogs. Seek out people affiliated with a company, group or association. They might be interested to buy ads on your blog.

Tips For Marketing Your Blog Revealed - Part 1

By Paul Liew

After you have started your blog, in order to get the traffic, the most important thing you need to do is marketing. Just imagine your blog is a small shop some where located in a very large shopping mall, if your shop was not indexed in the directory, how do you expect people will find your shop? Therefore, you need to know several blog directories and submit your blog to them.

I support free services because I personally think that every blog should have fair treatment and competition especially in the blog world. With that, the following services that I am going to introduce are all for free, at least at this moment.

1. Technorati

Technorati is an index website for photo, video as well as blog. After create a free account with Technorati, you can claim your blog under the profile page. Enter your blog URL, Technorati will verify the blog ownership by sending you to your blog (using OpenID) to log in. After the verification, enter your tag for your blog. This is important because people can find your blog easily through your tag. I would strongly suggest that you can go to Google keyword to search for relevant keywords and keep it on a file so that you can reuse those keywords to describe your blog.

Technorati rank blog by authority, the more links back to your blog, the higher authority you have. This simply means that many other websites or pages out there are talking about your page.

2. My Blog Log

My Blog Log is a yahoo service, if you have a yahoo account, you can sign in directly and create a MyBlogLog account. After entering your profile information, you can add your services (facebook, twitter, friendster, etc) so that people can contact you or add you as friend from other platform and community.

You can add your blog to your page, and remember enter the correct and relevant tag to your blog. Do this just like what you did in Technorati.

After you have added your blog, add your own friends from your yahoo account so that your friends can join you. Otherwise, you can search through mybloglog and add friends so that people will visit your page and through this they may choose to visit your blog as well. If your blog has good content, visitor will join your community as a member. Simply, you have built your own community.

One nice feature that MyBlogLog provided is that you can create visitor widget, when MyBlogLog visitor come to your blog, their photo or avatar will show on your widget. This is much better than just showing the number of visitor you have.

Start a Blog and Set Yourself Apart

By Erik Gifford

Are you looking for a fantastic way to make yourself and your business stand head and shoulders above the competition? Make yourself an expert in your future customers' eyes by writing and updating your own blog.

Writing a blog is a great way to keep search engines interested in your online content. When your website's content is old and dry, you are not getting as high in the search engine results as you need to be. Fresh, new content that is useful and relevant inspires search engines to boost your page ranking.

New content in a blog also inspires your customers to actually pay attention to your website. If you have something fresh and new to share with them, they feel like you are a relevant and informed expert in your field.

Blogs build your credibility. Instead of just being a nameless and faceless corporation, you become a business owner that your customers and potential clients can get to know online before they ever contact you in person.

Imagine if you could talk directly to prospective customers and educate them about the products and services your business has to offer. Blogs make that idea a reality. If you are an expert in home siding repair, public speaking or online banking, it is time to make your voice heard.

Writing a blog isn't as intimidating as it sounds. Simply sit down at a computer in a quiet room or office, and brainstorm a list of topics about which you feel you know enough to write. It is often helpful to keep the keywords of your website in mind when you are choosing a blog topic. For instance, if you sell siding, you are probably going to want to concentrate your blog content on issues related to home repair and vinyl siding.

When you start to write, be sure to avoid typical pitfalls. Don't try to infuse your blog with too much humor unless you're a professional comedian. You want your blog readers to take you seriously. Don't write about overly complicated issues, or your readers won't understand what you are trying to teach them. Also, do not write about things that are out of your league. Make sure you keep the informative tone of an expert and educate your readers about facts they need to know.

If you are comfortable writing your blog, but you know your grammar and spelling skills are less than stellar, consider hiring a freelance writer to edit your blog before you post it. If you don't have a budget big enough to accommodate the fees of a freelancer, find a friend or family member that knows how to write well and ask them to proof your blog as a favor.

Once you've finalized your blog's content, it's time to post it on the web. If you don't get immediate rave reviews from everyone you know, be patient. It takes time for blogs to pick up readers. Traffic isn't generated overnight, but it will constantly increase if you continue to write new blogs on a regular basis. Aim to create a new blog at least once a month in order to see results.


Blogging is a good way of educating potential prospects about your products and services and also your network marketing business.Erik Gifford is a network marketing attraction marketing coach.Call 004722520239 anytime for a FREE consultation and visit Network Marketing Guidance.
