Wrong way blogging will get your blog killed! Blogging Mistake


Blogging-Mistake

Do you blog the right and correct way? Whether it is a yes or a no, it does make a huge difference. On my last visit to Johnchow.com, I noticed an article that catch my attention. 10 Blogging Mistakes to Avoid. And Im should ask the attention of every single blogger :

Do not practise It!. Wrong way blogging will get your blog killed! Dont believe? Try it and see.

Blogging Mistake #1 You Dont Get Your Blog Updated


Nothing kill a blog faster than lack of updates! If you are serious in blogging, do show commitment to keep your blog updated. A non-updated blog is a dead blog!

Blogging Mistake #2 Blogging = Money

If the only reason youre blogging is to get rich, youll fail. Blogger like John Chow makes money because he doesnt blog for money. He really write good posts in his blog. Start filling your blog with really quality posts and put aside your money-minded thinking.

Blogging Mistake #3 Rushing a Post

There is always mistakes in your post. So take some time double/triple checks your post before you hit the Publish button to make sure your post is error-free. Doing this wouldnt kill you, but not doing this will get your blog killed! Please dont rush to get your post published, there is always cons than pros.

Blogging Mistake #4 Not Being Personal

A blog is not a CNN or News.com. People read your blog to get your opinion and your point of view. Give it to them!

Blogging Mistake #5 Being a Copycat

Whats make your blog unique and difference from others? Is your blog unique or just another copycat? There are thousands of blogs about Agloco. I am not definitely the first person writing about Agloco. You can write the same thing as the other blog, but putting your point of view will differentiate your blog and other blog.

Thats makes your blog unique. Giving your own opinion is what blogging is all about. The most unique thing about your blog is you.

Blogging Mistake #6 Not replying to Comments

Do reply to your readers comments as soon as possible. A blog is a two way communication tool, remember it!

Blogging Mistake #7 Not giving a Full Feed RSS

Unless you make 10+ posts per day, then you have no excuse for not offering feed RSS to your reader. I am using FeedBurner by the way.

Blogging Mistake #8 Not Reaching Out to Other Bloggers

The best and yet the economic way to get your blog noticed is by saying hi to other blogs in your niche. The best way is to comment on other blogs and make sure you put down your blogs link. Other alternatives includes linking to them, sending trackbacks and adding yourself to their MyBlogLog Community.

Blogging Mistake #9 Writing for Google Instead of People

You can have the most perfectly written Google optimized page in the world and still not ranked number 1 because Google follows people. And people wont read a page written for a search engine because it makes no sense. I do keep an eye on my keywords and key phases when Im writing a post, but I also keep in mind that the readers come first, Google comes second.


How To Start Your Own Website Up And Running - Tips To Start

Start Your Own Website


There are thousands of websites on the Internet. More and more people now have them. This could be to promote your offline business, run an online business or just have a platform to air your thoughts on your favorite topic.
If you are an internet lover then there may come a time when you decide to make your own website. The website you choose to make could be in many forms. This article is going to deal with generating your own site from just the windows text writer – notepad.
Here are some basics that we need to know about starting your own site.
Domain Names
A domain name is the first thing you will need to get a website up and running. A domain name is an address or URL that people will type into the address bar on their internet browser to access your site. This will usually start with the www – e.g businessonhome.com. Domain names have to be unique so finding one that is not too long and ideally, very catchy is going to be tough. Do a search on Google for Domain names and you will find loads of companies that supply them. You can search if the domain name is free and buy it for a small amount of money.
Domain names have lots of different extensions on the end of them. You have probably noticed the .com and .co.uk at the end of different websites. There are several different extensions you can choose from. a .com is generally more expensive as it is recognized worldwide. A .co.uk is a UK extension so would be ideal if your site was targeting a UK audience or based in the UK. Not to say that a.co.uk site cannot get a worldwide audience though – it is more the fact that people can easily recognize you as a UK site. There are many other extensions that you can only opt for however, some have restrictions. a .edu is only for educational establishments and a .ltd.uk is only for limited companies – so as you can see there are restrictions.
Once you have purchased your domain name you then need to think about hosting.
Web Hosting
This is where your website will reside. A domain name alone will do nothing – a hosting package will link your domain name to your webpage files for the world to see.
There are many different types of best Web Hosting For Small Business – some cheap, some expensive. If you are just starting out then I would suggest the cheapest will do the job quite nicely. You may find the people that you bought your domain from will also offer to host as part of a package but I would advise shopping around as price can vary a lot. I would suggest that a year's worth of hosting would cost you no more than £25 ($50 approx).
It is important to note that the attaching of your domain name to the hosting package and indeed the creation of the domain name can take up to 48 hours to complete. So do not be alarmed if it does not immediately work.
Building your site
So now you have everything you need to build up your site. This is where you now have a lot of options available to you depending on what you want your site to be about and how you intend to manage it. For the purpose of this article, we are going to assume that you just want a simple page online so when people visit your site they can look up some information about you or your company.
To allow us to do this we need to understand a bit of HTML – HTML may sound scary but it really isn’t It stands for hypertext markup language. This allows you to create a very basic webpage in something like your standard notepad editor that comes with Windows.
There is an alternative to this. There are programs called WYSIWYG editors. WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. These can make designing web pages very easy. There are some free WYSIWYG editors but for the purpose of this article we are going to assume that you do not have access to these programs and we will stick with HTML.
