			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Last week on Twitter I was asked by @southrngurl6489 the following question:</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">&#8220;If you had to pick only one thing that makes a blog stand out from its peers, what would you pick and why?&#8221;</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">I thought it’d be a good question to open up to a wider audience as its something I’ve touched on quite a few times over the last year or so and because what makes a blogger distinct is often, by definition, something that can vary from blog to blog.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">What are you doing to make your blog stand out from the crowd? What have you seen other blogs do that makes them stand out?</div>
</div>
<hr style="text-align: justify;" />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">19 Starting Points for Being a Unique Blogger</span></span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Not all successful blogs will do all of these things – but in my experience, many of them do.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Problem of Clutter</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Almost every time I’m questioned about blogging I’m asked whether I think it is too late to get into the medium. There are so many blogs that have been going for so long on almost every topic – isn’t it too crowded, cluttered and noisy to start something that gets noticed?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">On some levels there’s real truth to this.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lNMgJqwiDEY/S5j2FHA7BzI/AAAAAAAAAUI/R2AAbCz2Poc/s1600-h/Be-Unique.png" imageanchor="1" rel="lightbox" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lNMgJqwiDEY/S5j2FHA7BzI/AAAAAAAAAUI/R2AAbCz2Poc/s1600/Be-Unique.png" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">There are many thousands of blogs being started each day and there are what seems like a myriad of blogs in each niche. It can be overwhelming to step back and look at the blogosphere – an organism that is churning out millions of new pages of content each month. How will your single blog rise above the rest? Isn’t it all just too hard?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Yes it is hard – but…. (and this might sound harsh) that’s life. We live in a world of billions of people, all striving to achieve. We live in a world surrounded by thousands of companies and businesses, each struggling to to succeed. Life is cluttered and congested – but it doesn’t (or shouldn’t) stop us. The key is to find a way forward that works for you.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">New Blogs DO break onto the scene and ‘make it’ on a regular basis. Yes – they’re in the minority – but it is possible. I know in the photography blogosphere that there are significant new blogs that get a hold on part of the wider niche started every year. In one of the most congested niches of the blogosphere (making money online) new players always are emerging also.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">What sets them apart?</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Of course there is no single thing that sets good blogs apart – in fact that’s the point – they usually have something about them that is unique.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>How to Be Unique as a Blogger</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Of course teaching someone to ‘be unique’ is a challenge. Uniqueness by definition isn’t something that I can really tell you how to be – your blogs uniqueness is something that needs to come from your own uniqueness as a person – at least to some extent.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">Having said that – some of the ways that blogs tend to be unique and stand out from the crowd often start with:</div>
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Voice</b> – your style of writing. Manolo the shoe blogger was the first blogger I remember reading with a really unique voice (he writes in the third person).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Topic/s</b> – Manolo again an example of uniqueness in this – his two topics when he first started were ‘celebrities’ and their ’shoes’. John Chow perhaps is another example – who ever heard of a make money online blogger who documents his food and talks about cars?</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Design</b> – the way your blog looks is a great way to make an impression, grab attention and stand out from the crowd.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Being First</b> – not easy to do but if you can be one of the first blogs in a niche it can help you stand out. ProBlogger would be my own lucky example of this – at the time no one else was blogging about making a living from blogs.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Your Blogs Name</b> – sometimes it is just the name of a blog that makes it stand out whether it be by being confronting, funny or otherwise.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Being a ‘Character’ </b>– the Fake Steve Jobs blog comes to mind as one blog that was unique not only by the content being great but by the blogger blogging as Steve Jobs and keeping his real identity secret.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Use of Media</b> – some bloggers mashups of different types of media set them apart – clever use of video, imagery, audio and text all together in a post can have a real impact.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Depth of Content </b>– a number of bloggers that I follow set themselves apart by producing content that obviously has a lot of thought put into them. Instead of quick and short posts that do nothing much more than link to other sites they carefully and thoughtfully ponder a topic and produce content that is deep and thought provoking.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Frequency of Posts</b> – it strikes me that some of the most popular blogs product A LOT of content. Engadget and Gizmodo being two examples. This high frequency of posting makes them prolific and means that if a story is breaking in the gadget space that you’d be certain that they’re covering it. On the flip side some blogs take the opposite approach – their new posts become so rare that people value them highly and share them prolifically.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Vaults of Resources</b> – some bloggers become successful because their blogs are just filled with such rich resources. These bloggers might not have as much original thought but they are passionate about gathering information and resources from others and sharing it with their network. People read them because they save them time by researching and gathering the information that the rest of us need but don’t have time to find.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Community Focus</b> – some bloggers go above and beyond when it comes to their readers. They put the rest of us to shame by the way that they pay personal attention to everyone, interact with every comment and seemingly know every person who reads by name.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Opinion</b> – one of the easiest ways to make your blog is to share your opinion. Your opinions won’t always be unique but the combination of them and the way you express yourself will be and will often set yourself apart from other bloggers who just report news.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Usefulness </b>– some blogs are insanely useful. I know we’ve covered this earlier in this series but it needs to be said again – useful blogs build themselves a solid foundation for success.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Originality</b> – its amazing how some people just have an ability to explore a topic that everyone else has talked about but put a new spin on it! I sometimes feel this way about Seth Godin’s blog – his ability to make me have light bulb moments around simple concepts is amazing.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Personality</b> – I’m finding this one hard to define but some bloggers just ooze personality. Perhaps another way to describe it would be that they have Mojo or are charismatic. They are just infectious with the way that they write and interact.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Personal</b> – as you read some blogs you sometimes get a spooky feeling that its almost like the blogger is there in the room with you. They blog in a way where you can almost hear their voice and feel as though you’re in a conversation with them. They share on a level that goes beyond just the transference of information – they share of themselves</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Expertise</b> – some bloggers rise to the top of their fields because they are simply authoritative and have real expertise in their field. They are well read, have extensive experience and have forgotten more about their topic than most of us will ever know about it.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Connectors</b> – other bloggers are successful because they are so well connected in their niche. They not only know a lot of people but they have a gift in helping others to connect with those in their network.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Prolific</b> – some bloggers are unique because… well they’re everywhere. These bloggers seem to have the ability to be in more than one place at a time – they blog, they’re active on multipole social networks, they are at conferences, they are guest posting on other blogs, they’re in forums…. they are everywhere!</li>

<p>Kids these days are very smart and are also computer savvy. They are able to understand many concepts with a computer much faster than the adults. This is the main reason for them to be able to earn money easily online.<br />
<a name='more'></a> In fact many kids with minimal training are able to design and create websites that are much better than the ones made by experienced adults. All these facts make it very easy for the kids to make money online.</p>
<p>The wide reach that is got through the internet makes it possible for a child in one corner of the globe to reach another person who is in another corner of the globe. This has also made it possible for the children to sell or provide services for which they are paid money.</p>
<p>The simplest method of earning money that can be employed by the kids is to use their hobby. There are many kids who collect stamps, coins or phone cards. This is not only the hobby of the children, but they are primarily collected by kids. They can use their hobby to earn money online.</p>
<div>
</div>
<div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lNMgJqwiDEY/S88WEoO6bTI/AAAAAAAAAeo/RPsqIK3mOKY/s1600/coin_collectoring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lNMgJqwiDEY/S88WEoO6bTI/AAAAAAAAAeo/RPsqIK3mOKY/s200/coin_collectoring.jpg" width="200" /></a>The kids on one part of the world will be able to sell their coins or stamps to those in another country and there is no need to find buyers by yourself Ebay can do it for you If you want to sell your coins you can use ebay coin shop <a href="http://coins.shop.ebay.com/">coins.shop.ebay.com</a>&nbsp;and for stamps&nbsp;<a href="http://stamps.shop.ebay.in/">stamps.shop.ebay.in</a>. Your payments can be made into&nbsp;directly into your paypal.</p>
<div>Other than making money with their hobbies, kids can also make money using their talents online. The kids can try their hand at various games online and then write a review about the game. There are many game manufacturers who are very interested in the comments of these kids as they will be able to fine tune their games to make it more suitable to the tastes of the kids.</p>
<p>And with this kids can also make money while playing free online games and participate in skill gaming to win prizes <a href="http://skilladdiction.com/">skilladdiction.com</a> can help you in this If you want to do so.</p>
<p>These are methods of making money online for the kids. The only factor that must be remembered by the kids is that they should use the internet with adult supervision as there are many anti social elements trying to lure kids.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Much has been written on the topic of search engine optimization for bloggers – but let me give you a few basic first steps:<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><br />
</span></b></p>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">1. Content is King</span></b><br />
The quality of the posts you write is the single most important factor when it comes to Search Optimization on a Blog. I suspect others will argue differently but as I look at my own blogs success in the search engines I’d say that this has been the number one factor.</p>
<p>Quality content that helps people will quite often draw a reader to want to share what they’ve written – of course they do this by passing on the link to your post and often they’ll do it in a way that helps your search rankings (on their own blog for example).<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">2. Anticipate What People Will be Searching For</span></b><br />
Every time you write a post you should be automatically be considering what words people might be putting into search engines to find that type of information. Once you know what kinds of words they’re using you’re in a great position to position yourself for that search.<br />
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">3. Titles Titles Titles</span></b><br />
There are a number of things to keep in mind when it comes to titles. Google pays particular attention to titles – so make sure you get them right:<br />
first make sure that the way you set your blog up puts the title of your post in the ‘title tags’ on the back end of your blog. This is really important.<br />
if you’re just looking from an SEO perspective don’t include your blog name in the title tags of single posts. This dilutes your keywords. Of course if you’re looking more at branding including your blog’s name in the title tags might be worth doing.<br />
next – include the keywords that you identified in point #2 in your post title<br />
also, keep in mind that the words you use at the start of a title tend to carry more weight than words you use later in your title<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">4. Keywords in other parts of your post</span></b><br />
Use the keywords you identified in point #2 within your post also. If you want Google to rank you for a term or phrase you need to use that term or phrase. Use it in sub headings in your post (use h tags where you can), use it in the content itself, use the words in the alt tags of images etc. Don’t go over the topic but do use the words where you can naturally in the post.<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">5. Link to Your Own Posts</span></b><br />
Don’t over do this one but while links from other sites are a great way to increase your blog’s rankings so are links from your blog. Interlink your posts to share where readers can find more information on your topic (where relevant) but also consider linking to key posts on your blog from other places on the blog (sidebar, front page etc).<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><br />
</span></b></div>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">6. Links from Outside Your Blog</span></b><br />
Links from other sites to yours are key in SEO but they can be hard to get. Start to linking to your blog from other sites that you have or are active on. Some (like on Twitter) won’t count for anything much as they have no-follow tags but they are all potential ways forpeople to access your site and some will help with SEO.</p>
<p>Don’t become obsessed with getting links – rather become obsessed about writing great content and the links will generally come in time. However if you’ve written a great post that you think will be relevant to another blog don’t be afraid to let that blogger or website owner know about it – they could just link up.</p>
<p>Also – take note of the type of posts that you write that do well at getting other sites to link to you. You can learn a lot about generating linkable content by doing so and might just develop a technique that will work again and again.<br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><b>7. Plugins</b></span><br />
I don’t tend to do much to the back end of my blog to alter things like meta tags – but there are some good plugins around if you’re using WordPress that can help with some of this and that may give you a small edge. Check out 9 SEO plugins that every WordPress Blog Should have for some suggestions on this.<br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><b>8. Readers Begat Readers</b></span><br />
This isn’t an SEO technique as such but it plays a part. The more readers you have the more likely your blog is to be found by other readers. There’s a certain ’snowballing’ thing that happens on a site over time – as you get readers quite often momentum grows as those readers pass on your site to others in their network. They link to you, they bookmark you, they tweet about you, they email friends about you, they blog about you, they suggest your site in recommendation engines….</p>
<p>Not all of this counts with SEO but some does and the accumulation of it over time all certainly helps to grow both organic and search traffic. I guess what I’m saying is to get readers any way you can – don’t just focus upon ‘SEO’ as such. It all counts.<br />

</span></b></div>
<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">My Hunch with SEO</span></b><br />
Before I share my hunch…. let me say that I’m not an SEO and this could be completely wrong…. but it’s a hunch that I’ve had for a while now.</p>
<p>I’ve been doing this blogging thing for almost 7 years now and from what I can see the tweaks that many bloggers do on their blogs to optimize it seem to be having less and less impact on the rankings of blogs. Don’t get me wrong – I stand by the above tips completely and would do them as a common sense bare minimum – but from where I sit Google seem to be in the business of finding the best information that they can for their users. They don’t always get it right but I think they do a pretty good job.</p>
<p>As a blogger your job should be to provide the best information that you can.</p>
<p>It strikes me that Google have an ever increasing way of working out if your information is good. It’s not just about what keywords you have or how many links that you get – but these days they own Feedburner (know how many people subscribe to your blog and what links people are clicking on), they own Google Reader (again giving them all kinds of great data), they own Gmail, Google Analytics, YouTube etc…..</p>
<p>Now they may or may not use all the data in their ranking of sites but they certainly could know a lot about your blog and the posts you write. There’s also been increasing talk over the last 6 months or so about how easy it’d be for search engines to start generating data on what content is being shared in social networks and bookmarking sites.</p>
<p>My hunch is that many traditional SEO methods are less important (NOT irrelevant though) and that other factors are increasingly going to come into play. I’m sure that some will work out ways to manipulate this (SEO 2.0?) but increasingly the way to get ranked high in Google will be that you just need to keep producing great content and making sure that it’s sneezed out to your network.</p>
<p>Help this process along by giving your readers way to share your content (and seed it to social networks) as well as to become subscribers.&nbsp;</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Quite often when a new technology concept which we haven’t yet been able to bring to reality arrives we refer back to the 2002 Tom Cruise futuristic filmMinority Report. Well this is that moment again. IDENT’s GestICtechnology is a gesture basedinterface system and they’re showing off by describing a concept cube which allows the user to turn, twist, and pinch your data in 3D.</span></span>   
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_znGT0cLNKew/S3ExeL_D1-I/AAAAAAAAALY/o7m6PYFf20Q/s1600-h/ident-gestic-3d-gesture-cube-interface-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_znGT0cLNKew/S3ExeL_D1-I/AAAAAAAAALY/o7m6PYFf20Q/s400/ident-gestic-3d-gesture-cube-interface-01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Each face of the cube serves a different function and you can access messages and the web just by slipping and sliding on the surface. So it therefore is like a mini computer encased in a cube of touchscreens sitting at your home and functions to make the user’s daily life more convenient, the sync feature with mobile devices would probably be one of my favourite. The GestIC detects movements and distances in 3D space, enabling gesture control without any physical touching of any kind (video below).</span></span></span></div>

According to some, yes they definitely do work. But do note that most of them require active effort of some sort and hence, they will work as long as long as you are consistently performing specific actions.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: auto;">
To increase your Alexa rank in the long run, I would highly recommended that one focus on <b>developing quality content</b> which attracts and maintains a large audience instead of purely focusing on artificially increasing your Alexa Rank.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Great link-worthy content will leads to an natural increase in site traffic and is an excellent way to <b>passively increase your Alexa rank</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It is important to emphasize that you should devote most of your efforts in growing your site audience alongside integrated implementation of any of the following tips below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"></p>
<div style="text-align: auto;">1).<b>Install the Alexa toolbar</b> or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. This is the most basic step.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">2).<b>Put up an Alexa rank widget on your website</b>. I did this a few days ago and receive a fair amount of clicks every day. According to some, each click counts as a visit even if the toolbar is not used by the visitor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">3).<b>Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar</b>. This includes friends, fellow webmasters as well as site visitors/blog readers. Be sure to link to Alexa’s full explanation of their toolbar and tracking system so your readers know what installing the toolbar or extension entails.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">4).<b>Work in an Office or own a company?</b> Get the Alexa toolbar or SS Firefox extension installed on all computers and set your website as the homepage for all browsers. Perhaps it will be useful to note that this may work only when dynamic or different IPs are used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">5).<b>Get friends to review and rate your Alexa website profile.</b> Not entirely sure of its impact on rankings but it might help in some way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">6).<b>Write or Blog about Alexa</b>. Webmaster and bloggers love to hear about ways to increase their Alexa rank. They’ll link to you and send you targeted traffic (i.e. visitors with the toolbar already installed). This gradually has effects on your Alexa ranking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">7).<b>Flaunt your URL in webmaster forums</b>. Webmasters usually have the toolbar installed. You’ll get webmasters to visit your website and offer useful feedback. It’s also a good way to give back to the community if you have useful articles to share with others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">8).<b>Write content that is related to webmasters</b>. This can fall in the category of domaining and SEO, two fields in which most webmasters will have the Alexa toolbar installed. Promote your content on social networking websites and webmaster forums.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">9).<b>Post in Asian social networking websites</b> or forums. Some webmasters have suggested that East Asian web users are big Alexa toolbar fans, judging by the presence of several Asia-based websites in the Alexa Top 500. I suggest trying this only if you have the time or capacity to do so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">10).<b>Create a webmaster tools</b> section on your website. This is a magnet for webmasters who will often revisit your website to gain access to the tools. Aaron Wall’s webpage on SEOTools is a very good example.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">11).<b>Get Dugg or Stumbled</b>. This usually brings massive numbers of visitors to your website and the sheer amount will have a positive impact on your Alexa Rank. Naturally, you’ll need to develop link worthy material.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">12).<b>Use PayperClick Campaigns</b>. Buying advertisements on search engines such as Google or Exact Seek will help bring in Traffic. Doubly useful when your ad is highly relevant to webmasters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">13).<b>Create an Alexa category</b> on your blog and use it to include any articles or news about Alexa. This acts as an easily accessible resource for webmasters or casual search visitors while helping you rank in the search engines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">14).<b>Optimize your popular posts</b>. Got a popular post that consistently receives traffic from the search engines? Include a widget/graph at the bottom of the post, link to your Alexa post or use Alexa redirection on your internal URLs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">15).<b>Buy banners and links for traffic</b> from webmaster forums and websites. A prominent and well displayed ad will drive lots of webmaster traffic to your website, which can significantly boost your rank.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">16).<b>Hire forum posters</b> to pimp your website. Either buy signatures in webmaster forums or promote specific articles or material in your website on a regular basis. You can easily find posters for hire in Digital Point and other webmaster forums.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">17).<b>Pay Cybercafe owners</b> to install the Alexa toolbar and set your website as the homepage for all their computers. This might be difficult to arrange and isn’t really a viable solution for most. I’m keeping this one in because some have suggested that it does work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">18).<b>Use MySpace</b> . This is a little shady so I don’t recommended it unless you’re really interested in artificially inflating your Alexa Rank. Use visually attractive pictures or banners and link them to your redirected Alexa URL. This will be most effective if your website has content that is actually relevant to the MySpace Crowd.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">19).<a href="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;hs=dfY&amp;q=alexa+autosurf&amp;btnG=Search&amp;meta="><b>Try Alexa auto-surfs</b></a>. Do they work? Maybe for brand new sites. I think they are mostly suitable for new websites with a very poor Alexa rank. Note that there be problems when you try to use auto surfs alongside contextual ads like Adsense. They aren’t also long term solutions to improving your Alexa Rank so I suggest using with caution.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;">How do some websites get thousands of visitors a day, while you try everything possible and only get a handful? How rubbish do you feel when you tweet a website link and hardly anyone clicks on it? Well, what if there was a way to get hundreds or even thousands of visitors to your website every day? What if there was a way to get loads of clicks when you tweet a link out?&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>There is a way you can do this, and I&#8217;m going to show you how</i>&#8230;&nbsp;</b><br />
<b><a name='more'></a></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know the feeling. You spend hours, perhaps days creating something on your blog or website. You put all your energy into it, you make it look good, and you release it for all to see. You tweet a link to it and guess what happens&#8230;. nothing happens. You get maybe a handful of visits. You could have got more viewers by printing it out and sticking it in your neighbors mail boxes. It makes you feel frustrated. Why is it so hard to get visitors to your site? You know it&#8217;s possible, because you&#8217;ve seen others do it. But how do they do it?&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The truth is that up until now it was quite difficult to get lots of visitors to a new website. Those that did manage to pull it off generally did it through years of hard work. Some were lucky enough to find niches where there was a lot of interest, and not a lot of competition. Others used their success in other fields to get their sites going. Before twitter came along it really was difficult to get your message out there. You had to rely on word of mouth or advertising. When you created new stuff it would only be seen by those who were already subscribed to your site, or those that stumbled across it by accident.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Today that has all changed:-</b>&nbsp;Today it is possible to reach out to thousands of people every day and get them to visit your site. Twitter has changed the game completely, and because of that your life can change completely. I&#8217;m fascinated by the opportunities it gives me these days. The possibilities are endless when you figure out how to do it. You could be tweeting a link while sipping hot-chocolate in a ski resort, or you could simply be sitting on the sofa listing to music while tapping away at the keyboard. Perhaps your dream is to work for yourself, and <a href="http://bit.ly/b4Vvit">make lots of money online</a>. Perhaps you already have your own business and you want to take it to the next level. Only you know the reasons that have inspired you on this path. Take some time to think about those reasons now, they&#8217;ll be your motivation going forward. With motivation, and the knowledge of how to master twitter, you will be living your dream. There is a way to drive hundreds of visitors to your website every day, and in a short space of time. If you&#8217;re not able to do that yet, then you&#8217;re reading the right article.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">In 2000 twitter was registered but in 2006 it burst onto the scene as a new and exciting social network. It&#8217;s benefit to website owners and bloggers was immediately real. You could tweet a link out to your followers, and they could retweet that message to others. Not only would some of your followers click on the link and visit your site, but so would some of their followers. It was good, but not complete useful yet. Only in the last year or so has twitter really started to take off, and this is due to the massive amount of people that have started to sign up. Think about the number of people that you know that have signed up in the last few months. The game has now changed, and those people that master twitter will do well.&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><i>So what is it that you need to do? It really very simple, and boils down to three things. Each of these in isolation will get you more visitors, do them together and you&#8217;ll be commanding your twitter army in no time!</i>&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">1) <b>It&#8217;s a numbers game:-</b>&nbsp;If you want to get a lot of visitors to your website through twitter, then you need a lot of followers. Only a small number of your followers will click on the links you send out. To get loads of people to click on your links you need to grow your community up to <a href="http://fillsout.blogspot.com/2010/03/build-huge-following-on-twitter.html" class="broken_link" rel="nofollow">thousands of followers</a>. And you need to do it as quickly as possible. You need to be ruthless about it. Think Rocky training for his fight with Apollo. Can you hear the theme music in your head? <img src='http://tipsforblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  You need to think of it as a land-grab and you need to be pretty focused about doing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">2) <b>Followers need to be &#8220;converted&#8221;:-</b>&nbsp;When people start to follow you they know nothing about you. They might lose interest and unfollow you or they may &#8220;switch-off&#8221; to your tweets. Look for fun and interesting ways to interact with your followers and they will start to pay attention to you. Make sure they remember you and they may think twice about clicking the unfollow button next time they do a clean-up. If you follow some of them, reply to their tweets if they&#8217;re interesting. You&#8217;ll start to form a base of followers that will never unfollow you, and more importantly, will retweet your links. You&#8217;ll feel like a real web celebrity when you see your messages retweeted every day. It&#8217;s a great feeling knowing that your followers actually care enough about what you&#8217;re saying to pass it on to their friends. But realize that it does take some time to break through into others attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">3) <b>Write attention grabbing tweets:-</b>&nbsp;Now this does not mean making everything uppercase and using ten exclamation marks at the end of the sentence! It means being smart, and it requires you blend normal conversational tweets with tweets about your website. When you tweet a link to your website make sure it&#8217;s interesting. Ask yourself this, &#8220;If I were to scan past this tweet, what would make me stop and read it?&#8221;. And then balance that with not being spammy or offensive. It&#8217;s as much an art as it is a science. Entire careers are devoted to this kind of writing. Think news paper headlines and sales copywriting.&nbsp;</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I want to focus upon the topic of <b>SEO (Search Engine Optimization)</b>.</p>
<p>While SEO is something that is well worth while focusing upon right from the start of your blog – I’ve found that it becomes particularly important once your blog is at least a few months old. In my experience it is not until a blog is 6 to 12 months old that it really begins to grow in its authority in Google.</p>
<p>I will not rehash everything I know about SEO here (I’ll link to some resources at the bottom of this post) but here are just two tasks that I think established bloggers will particularly want to focus upon (I’m assuming that you’ve got some of the basics like getting titles set up right):<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><b><br />
</b></span>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><b>1. Optimizing Successful Pages on Your Blog</b></span><br />
I mentioned this earlier in this series of posts but one of the first things to do is to identify and analyze the pages that people are arriving to your blog on from Search Engines. If you’re like most blogs you’ll find that a handful of your old posts generate a significant percentage of your search engine traffic. Identify these pages and you can then go about increasing the ranking of those pages even further in Google by doing some of the following:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Increasing keyword density of these pages – don’t add the keywords that people are searching for too many more times, but it can help to add them 1-2 times more, bold the keywords, add them to heading tags, add them to image tags etc.</li>
<li>Increase the internal links to these pages – if you find a page that is getting a lot of search traffic, any extra links to the page that you can generate (from both within your blog and outside it) can help its authority. You might want to even highlight some of these pages in your sidebar or navigation – or to link to them within other posts on your blog on a similar topic.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"><b>2. Create More Content on Related Search Terms</b></span><br />
Once you start getting a handle on what type of information that people are searching for you should begin to make a list of other related topics that you might want to write about. You can get ideas from this by looking at keywords that people use to arrive on your blog and thinking about synonyms for those words but also by looking at online services like <a href="http://www.google.com/trends">Google Trends</a> which maps what people are searching the web for.</p>
<p>Another good tool for analyzing search traffic and coming up with new topics to write about it <a href="http://103bees.com/">103bees</a> which gives some metrics on the questions people are asking to find your blog. These questions are topics your readers are actually asking which shows you what they’re typing into Google. Another great tool to try is <a href="http://www.lijit.com/">Lijit</a> which is a search tool you can use on your blog (see it in my sidebar). This tracks what terms people are searching your blog for. The useful thing about it is that they also show you what terms people searched for that there was no search results on your blog for – very handy information.</p>
<p>There is A LOT more that you can do to increase the search engine authority of your blog. Part of it just comes down to writing great quality content over the long haul (which over time increases the number of doorways into your blog and grows the number of links from other sites to it) but below I’ve listed some other resources from both withinProBlogger and from SEO experts that will hopefully give you plenty of things to work on.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align="left"></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://mybloglog.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;"><img alt="Mybloglog" border="0" height="71" src="http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac32/Rajnish357/mybloglog.jpg" width="320" /></a>Five years to the month after it was founded, cross-blog social networking widget MyBlogLog will be closed down by Yahoo! in 2010, we&#8217;re hearing from sources close to the project. MyBlogLog is a service that shows blog writers and readers the faces and profile information of other MyBlogLog users that visit their sites.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
</div>
</div>
<p></p>
<div align="center"><a href="http://mybloglog.com/"><img alt="mybloglog" border="0" height="215" src="http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac32/Rajnish357/kkkkk.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">MyBlogLog was a wildly innovative service that grew fast after launching and was acquired in January 2007 by Yahoo! for $10 million. It made a deal with users: Give us your personal information and we&#8217;ll show you the faces of people who read your blog. That was a compelling offer and the resulting data amassed could have proven invaluable, had Yahoo! chosen to cultivate it and a developer ecosystem around it. That potential was so great, in fact, that sunset for MyBlogLog is downright tragic. It&#8217;s also likely to anger bloggers all around the web. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to showing the faces of recent blog visitors, MyBlogLog also offered programatic access to activity streams from social networks that users associated with their MyBlogLog accounts. For example, Yahoo&#8217;s Kent Brewster, now at Netflix, built a bookmarklet that would display the recent bookmarks on Delicious, photos on Flickr and <em>job titles from LinkedIn</em> of the latest MyBlogLog users to visit any given blog.</div>
<div align="center"><a href="http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac32/Rajnish357/blogjuice.png" rel="lightbox"><img alt="bloglog" border="0" height="484" src="http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac32/Rajnish357/blogjuice.png" width="495" /></a></div>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Yahoo! has let the service atrophy for years and will now put it to rest. To think that this service offered publishers and developers access to personal, demographic, taste and activity data of a website&#8217;s readers &#8211; and yet that offering has in the end gone no where &#8211; that&#8217;s downright crazy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Here at ReadWriteWeb we scraped a feed from our MyBlogLog page of the new users just added to our community, then reached out to thank them for their support and welcome them personally. That was just the beginning of what could have been a very valuable source of data. Imagine getting a feed of the LinkedIn job titles of all your recent readers and presenting that to a blog&#8217;s advertisers. Both analytically and financially, there was so much potential in MyBlogLog. See our&nbsp;previous post <a href="http://fillsout.blogspot.com/2010/03/significance-of-mybloglog-api.html" class="broken_link" rel="nofollow">The Significance of the MyBlogLog API</a> if you&#8217;re a social web geek and want to have your heart broken.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Looking at the ecosystems beginning to form around Twitter, Facebook and other user data &#8211; MyBlogLog may just have been ahead of its time. The service isn&#8217;t alone among potentially world-changing technologies acquired and then starved of support at Yahoo! We&#8217;ve asked Yahoo! for comment and will update this post if we receive any. </div>
<p></p>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac32/Rajnish357/46322v1-max-450x450.png" rel="lightbox" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="100" src="http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac32/Rajnish357/th_46322v1-max-450x450.png" width="160" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">We called co-founder Eric Marcoulier for comment and he offered the following perspective: &#8220;So much of your company&#8217;s long term sucess when it&#8217;s acquired is based on the amount of executive juice it has. The only way it survives and flourishes is if you have an executive champion who promotes it internally. Shortly after we were acquired we were transfered away from our champion and under someone who didn&#8217;t feel the same way about MyBlogLog. In those circumstances, things simply slow down.</div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;For any startup that has earn outs, and this didn&#8217;t affect us, you&#8217;ve got to keep in mind that in 3 months you could be reorganized and the new guy could shut you down. The picture that gets painted early on when you have your product champions can change in a heartbeat and it&#8217;s important for entreprenuers to consider that when looking at the deal terms.&#8221;</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Update:</strong> &#8220;<em>Chris Yeh, head of the Yahoo! Developer Network, has <a href="http://developer.yahoo.net/blog/archives/2009/12/mybloglog_update.html">responded over at the YDN blog</a>: &#8220;Frankly, it&#8217;s no secret within Yahoo! that we&#8217;re actively discussing the future of MyBlogLog. However, it&#8217;s also true that we have not made any final decisions at this point. Is a shutdown on the table? Sure, that&#8217;s an option. But there are other options as well.</em>&#8220;</div>
