7 Ways to Leave Comments and Drive Traffic Back to Your Blog

People say that to make an impression, you’ll have to open your mouth. While that is physically impossible in the virtual world of the Internet, saying your piece is not entirely difficult to do. Thanks to forums and discussion boards, you can leave a comment or start a discussion thread about virtually any topic from anywhere in the world. And yes, you can even leave comments to drive traffic to your blog and increase your readership.

Leaving effective comments

You’re probably old enough to know that not every comment that gets thrown into an opportunity for interaction creates the desired effect, much less become appreciated by those who hear or read it. If you don’t use this technique carefully, you will either waste the opportunity or simply allow it to create the wrong impression. Here are 7 ways you ought to do it: (more…)

Blogging Pitfalls Part Two

As promised today we are going to discuss the setup and layout of your blog.

Again, this is a mistake I made when I first started this blog. Even though I have been an internet marketer for over 10 years, I did not have a clue about blogging when I started therefor I made many mistakes. I ended up making several changes to the theme and layout and still do occasionally. Unfortunately, sometimes when there are Wordpress updates you may find that your chosen theme no longer works and you are forced to find a new one. Keep this in mind.

The major thing when starting a blog is to scour the internet and find a nice, clean theme. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of Wordpress themes available for free or you could purchase a theme if you choose. Just do a search for free Wordpress themes and you will see what I mean.

Obviously, this does not count if you are using Wordpress.com or Blogger or any of the other free blogging platforms available. Unfortunately, you are only allowed to do so much with those platforms which is why I always recommend getting your own domain when blogging for business.

The main thing is not to use the default themes as this will make your blog look like every other amateur blog on the web. You want to define your style and your personality in your blog. (more…)

Blogging Pitfall Part One

I am going to do a series on blogging pitfalls and what you can do to avoid or fix them.

The pitfall we are going to discuss today is jumping into blogging without a plan, as this is not uncommon amongst new bloggers. To be honest, even I fell into this pitfall when I first started.

A blog is the easiest way to get started online but it is not as simple as just throwing up a blog and adding content. This is fine if you only wish to have a personal blog but that is not what we want. (more…)

Business Idea: Blogging for Profit, No Previous Experience Required

Blogs – it seems like just about everyone has one.

If you don’t know what a blog is, it comes from the phrase “web log”, which is an online diary or journal of sorts. People have all kinds of reasons for starting a blog. They may do it for fun, because they love writing or just to have an outlet to express their thoughts, vent frustrations and more.

But you can make a blog into a money-making business, even if you have no blogging or business experience.

How to Get Started

You can actually start your blog completely for free. There are services like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com that make it super easy. But note, John Yeo, profitable blogger and creator of the Blogger’s Paycheck recommends that those seeking profit should Wordpress, but in a different way than is explained at Wordpress.com and he goes through it in detail in the course.

Improve Your Blog Usability

by Ferdinand Emy

No matter how smart your website design is, if it is hard to reach the content of your site then your site is as useful as an empty shell. Here are some tips to improve the usability of your website to insure it serves its functions optimally.

The first method is to make certain the typography of your content is suitable. If you have large blocks of text, insure to use CSS to space out the lines accordingly. The longer a single line of text is, the greater the line-height of each line should be. In addition, make certain the font size of your text is great enough to read simply. Some sites have 10-pixel-tall text in Verdana font; while that may look neat and tidy, you have to essentially strain your eyes to read the actual text.
