I have Being using a Link Building Program on another Blog and all I can Say is that it Sucks. I spent Most of My time Submiting links when I could Be Creating Content that is Link Bait.In just a Few Days I Had Requests for So Many Links that I could just not Find time to Write Content and I think Link Building Sucks as your Content is What Creates Links and When you Use a Link Market as a Non Paid member there is no Way to Check if that Site is Still Linking to you because they Have burried your Links where there is a One in a million Chance of them Every been found if Any.
So I am Sorry that I have not Updated Latley because I was Stuck doing this Crappy Link building Job have you Tried this or Maybe you Know a Good Link building Site that does not require you to Create links all day and making this Process Very Repetitive.
I had been trying to make A Sticky page to Increase Page views on my Blog.This was Because if I had one Good landing Page I could get more page-views so I thought.But there could be a problem for returning Visitors that are not Subscribers to my feed as they might Not notice the Difference.
Also from now on when you visit here you will land on what I call the Blog Homepage. This was much needed as most new visitors have a very short attention span and you have only a few seconds to impress them enough to view another page let alone subscribe to your feed.
As many new visitors come from Referring sites due to comments that somehow interested them in my blog. But they expect something else and they don't use site Search very much and are gone without looking any deeper into your Blog. The landing page now will increase page-views a little but you can't make everyone happy, like I have seen people coming to one of my pages for a Tutorial on How to Put a Slideshow on your Blog. I have seen that they did not stay long enough and so I rewrote it and I can't explain this any better than it is written.If they Email me with their Username and Password then I could put it on the Page but I can't Do anymore with the Post.
We may all have posts like this, No matter how well you Explain it could be Because they are not impressed with your Template. This is Where Desing comes in using Free Templates is Easy but not Original and they Don't help Brand your Blog.
How many Blogs have you Read that Tell you,In order to Succeeded You Need to Get your Own Hosting ?. This seems to be a topic that Many Blogs write Reviews about,Now What are the Benefits of Having your Own Blog hosting and, can Having your Own Host mean More Visitors ?.
Now of Course there are Business Advantages to Hosting your Own blog,Because if you are In Austrialla and your Blog is Hosted on, An American Server it may Not be a Good Idea. But I am Talking about Normal Blogs that are Internationally Targeted,and not for a Regional Audience.
Is there Any Real Advantages for you to , Host your Own Blog,And How can you Choose which host is ,The Right one for your Needs. And Chosing the Correct options to Host your Own Blog.The Problem Being Many Bloggers are Affiliated with Hosting Companies, and It's hard to Know the Truth about Hosting from Other Blogs that you Read.
...
...
I think I will Leave this Blog Hosted on Blogspot for another While,One of my Reasons is If I were to Choose a Hosting Package I have Heard of Hosting Services Showing Ads on your 404 Pages and Other Strange Activities.Especially, free web hosting Companies.So how do you know that Hosting your Own blog is for your Blog,It's a Big Choice to Make and There are Many Options like bandwidth,cost and Space
Switching to your Own Hosting is a Massive Step in Devloping and Branding your Blog,Something that you Can't Jump into,because it's Cheap or Free.Other Factors to Think about are , Do you Need unlimted bandwidth ? and if not How Much Bandwidth do you Need for your site?.
The Best way to Find out Which has an Affordable and Relible Service that Suits your Hosting Needs.
The Main Reason to Make your Blog Load faster in my Opinion is that People have very Short attention Spans and if there are many Objects on the Page they will be gone very quickly as an Entrecard user I have seen Many crazy blogs that never seem to Load.
Here are Some things you can do To increase Page load times
First Check your Page Size if it's any More than 75k you will have to start cleaning it up a little.
Next Put your Banners in Posts about the Programs you are Promoting this will have a far Greater effect than leaving them on the Page as people will know what they are about and will be more interested in them.
If you have many Gadgets or even worse Autoplaying Videos and Music on the Page it's time to Do something with them. Make the Video box small as people can watch the Videos in Full Screen anyway if they wish. Music should never be on Autoplay it's simple Do you Want people to Read your Post or listen to song as Both at the Same time are Difficult.
It could also be your Template that is causing the Problems as a badly written Template can Cause the Page to Load Slowly. Check the Size of your Raw template it could be very nice but way to big.
Put a maximum of 3 posts per page 5 if you are a microblogger, If you have more than 200 words then better just put one Post on the Main Page.
There are Many Other Ways to Speed up loading Time like Turning off Image and Multimedia ads which can Be very annoying any one that uses Hotmail will know this. Other things Include Page Load Time Scripts and CSS Validate which I can't Advise on so you may do a little Research on these. Here are Some tools you can use to check and Improve Page load Times.Web Page Analyzer - Free web page analysis tool calculates page size, composition, and download time. Gives speed recommendations based on best practices for usability, HCI, and website optimization.
We are all looking for Ways to Promote Our Website and Even more Ways to Promote it For free and Increase Link popularity. But they methods we a subjected to are not always the Correct way and there are many misleading sites out there who say they will Submit to many search engines. even Meta tag Generators seem to Be pointless I don't use them myself as I find most SEO is just a waste of time that I could be spending looking for Related Blogs and Writing more content.
How many Videos are Out there Claiming to bring in the Visitors and Telling tales of Great website search engine submission and website optimization tutorial Tactics. I mean they all saying much the Same thing that you Have to Pay for Traffic which is a Complete lie Paying for Advertising will help increase Traffic but Will it be Target Traffic.
John Chow said in a Recent Post about Using Mailing Lists as a website promotion tip but this is Because he Gets Referrals from Aweber but thousands of others are Doing the Same. I don't think there is a free website promotion software and if anything works you will have to pay lots of money for it. I think the only way to Increase Traffic is To Get out there Commenting and Linking your Blog to Related Posts
I think the Only way to Get better traffic is to have something to Promote. As I have no Actuall Product to Sell as Such Most of these Methods do not work for me so I have to join an Affiliate Program to Be able to Write in this Kind of Way and use these Traffic Generating Tools.
The Best way For Normal Blogs to Increase Viewers is to be Known in the Blogosphere and if you Don't have a Garvatar Get one as it's the first step in Branding which I have yet to Focus on but Will be Doing in the Future .
If you use entrecard you know about not only the High Bounce Rates but also the fact that entrecard users do not look any further than your Homepage So how do you change this ?
You Can change this By Setting the Landing Page of the Entrecard to A Post about Entrecard as this will have a Bigger Impact on the Visitors From Entrecard and will Lower Bounce Rates on your Blog.
It Might Also Increase Comments from Entrecard
Another thing is That it May Increase Comments as the Droppers will be Interested in this Topic because Most People who Have Entrecard on their Blog have a Very High Bounce Rate and Most Entrecard users Don't Comment on Blogs but in this Case will be More Interested and it would be A Very Good way to Increase Comments on your Blog for your Blog to Have a High Bounce Rate and No Comments and theywill Understand this Topic and May Share their Opinion on this
Navigating through the website of Mybloglog can be anoying to join the 15 communities. Now I have built a list and this will be a faster way of finding and Joining the 15 communities.
What you do is Goto this Page Right Click on the communities open in new Tab and join them. This will save you Lots of time as the Mybloglog page is Slow and also there are many sites with labels applied to them so will find target Communities easier. Now when you have joined these communities Bookmark the Page and come back the Next Day pick another From the Archives or Tags this Way there is lots of time saved.
I have put all of my communities in there and I hope that you will find some that you can join.At this time they go Directly to the Communities but I hope to make a small Directory from it. So if you see you blog in there Post a comment and A short site description and I will add it to the list but not a link to your community but direct to your blog.
I had Went Days Without earning anything with my Blog until I discovered what was Wrong. There Were things on my Page that were of no financial Benefit to me and this is Where visitors were leaving my Site from. So what I done was take these off and leave as little Extras as possible on my Page that were of no Help to me or my Visitors.
Take flag Conters for example these Banwidth Monsters are Maybe Causing your Biggest Traffic Problem as they are Large on the Page and How many Sites Have you Visited From Search engines that Had Snow on the Screen I think None. They may All Look Cool but they are costing you Traffic Big time. There is no Point writing Great Posts, Having all your Keywords Correct and Keyword Destiny is of no Help if your Page is Too Large it will not show in Search. Some people told me that my Commenting System Disquss Had Made their page load a little Slow so they took it off. But this was another Template and that can Happen fortunately in is not the case with Mine. But there are other thing I know will not work with my Template and I don't Put them on there. Widgets that Have pictures on them tend to Increase page size and Ruin chances of your site Appering in Search. Other things include Twitter Counters Add to TechnoratiGadgets. If I really Like a Blog then I will add it to My Favorites.
Now one of the Most important thing on your Page if you Want to make Money is Not just High Paying Keywords or High Traffic Phrases it's your Advertising itself they Must be Optimised for Top Performance and Placement is Important. If the Ads are in the middle of a page Hidden in Between Flagcounters and Live Visit Feeds then they are Not going to be seen and will make Zero no Matter how Many visitors you Have.
So Remember Less Gadgets more Traffic Keep the Internet Uncluttered Remove Badges for Directories and Put them All in One Post unless you are Getting Visitors from them. Another thing to do Is use third parties to Optimize and Blend your Ads there are Many of These. Which Test different ad formats and Placement Automatically and will increase Revenue from Many Advertising Networks. Some of them Require a small Commission while Others are Free just look around for Which one is Best for your Blog.
Test your Page to See if it loads Fast enough make it Smaller forget about Cool Widgets and Optimize your Site for Traffic and Earnings. A few Simple Ways to Start making Money Online
I have seen many Bloggers talk about how Great entrecard is or not. Now many believe that you can get lots more traffic from this I am not so sure because I have read about high bounce Rates and they can be a problem with Entrecard . I drop where I see one but As for it being a main source of traffic. Personally I don't think it should be used as a main Traffic source. It is mostly targeted at only the Drop and not actually Reading the posts. Another thing is when you go from site to site making drops you will land on sites that make your Browser Crash or Far worse.
Going about trying to get credits having to visit all these sites just say about 100 a day for 100 visitors there is one question that comes to mind. What way will your mind be after going to 100 sites and looking for these drops this many times. And will you able to think straight enough to write something after doing that I don't think so. These are a good Short term solution but far from the Answer to getting Readers and traffic as most Visitors will only be there for the Drop.
So I think when you see one Drop it but Don't go looking for them, Because your blog will not Develop with this tactic, As you will be too busy going everywhere except to your Post composer and it's important to have fresh content every few Days. But if you are going blogwalking all the Time you will not be feeding your brain with Ideas for new posts.
Writing about other Blogs can be another way of Creating content for you own and gaining backlinks. If you wish to do a link exchange with another blog there are many ways of doing it. One is to put in a small banner another is to put an intext link which can be made even more effictive as a small banner is not going to stand out very much but an intext link will because it's inside the contents of the post and attention is drawn toward that piece of text.
The is also a better way to do this by planning with the linking party because if you were to preplan post that would link to each other. This would have Great possibilties. Just for example I done a Post on Keywords and the Other done A post on Keywork Destiny and these were to link both ways to each other this would improve page rank.
But I am not writing about this topic as there are way too many SEOblogs in the first place. I need to write about something like tips on paying off a student loan or ways for students to make money .This would be a better topic because I have only seen a few blogs like this one of them I came across today for example mentioned Selling Old things that you may have in your room as a way to raise funds in difficult times of the month.
This Idea for a blog was Original and we should see more of these kinds of blogs even if it's intended for Broke students it could also be helpful Advice for anyone who was looking to make a little extra cash without working. So you could know more about what is actually inside a Poor Man's Treasure Chest.
Being bored looking for something I came across a Question on yahoo answers asking is there a search engine that instead of Searching with words you could use an Image. Well my first impression of this Question was go look yourself.
But I decided to look for it anyway as If I found something it would be Good to Blog about. now retriver about is a search engine in beta you can search by image or making a simple sketch the Database is mainly Flickr. Now don't get excited it does not do Face recognition so you can't play james bond with it the same goes for objects. The site owners say that it is quite accurete. So if you want give retriver a try it's part of some projects made by a company called systemone and looks quite exciting for the future of search engines.
You could also use it to test your artistic abilities if you wish to try them out also.It's not a new site but maybe it went un noticed before like many sites do and Remain almost unheard of. I never heard of it but I was never searching for a site that search not for words but images. What about you did you know of such search engines ?
I think I will have to stop posting on Saturdays it looks like the so called best day of the week happens to be my worst day for traffic. And most of my Saturday posts will go unread looking at my stats I can see a decline in the weekend and slowly rising Monday and Tuesday maybe people are out although some sites will see increased traffic at the weekends but not mine apart from once where I got 88 visitors which allmost all og the Bounced but that was Readdit traffic and it is known to have high bounce rates.
So how can I improve weekend traffic or do I just accept this trend because many people are doing their weekly shopping on Saturday or are visiting freinds and family so they are not online so I can't bring in traffic anyway because it's just not there. It could also be that people are searching for things like night clubs and cinemas at the weekend and not bloggin related topics. I think many will be looking for things like Recipes at the weekend because they have more time to cook so the weekend would also be good for this kind of site.
I think every blog has a bad traffic day so it could be normal but there are days when you get more traffic than others. Is it that you are not paying enough attention on these days or is it just the way the weekend is. Like for example a football based Blog will get more hits on the weekend but a Insurance site will get less as people are not interested in purchasing Car Insurance on a Saturday. This is more of a midweek search term. Saying that many people go out to buy cars on saturday and they could be looking for Quotes on their Insurance so that could help get more Traffic at the Weekend.
I read an Interesting Post the other nite that Wednesday was the most depressing day of the week according to some research that was done using Twitter. This Could be True so if it's a Wedensday you could write something to cheer people up a little or write about bad monday mornings on a monday I think there are many ways to increase blog Traffic for days of the week but remember everyday is not going to be good all you can do is try and improve on that.
Yes I visited your Blog after seeing your Comment on my Blog.But What I do not Understand Is that When I visited your Page it was So Full of Interesting Information about Many things.So It Makes me Wonder that if you Can Write such Interesting Information on Making Money,Mobile Phones and Computer Software even Tell me How to Make My Blog look cool and Get lots of Traffic.I have Just a Few Questions for You.They are just a few Questions on this Short survey.
1*Did you know when you commented with your Blogspot profile that will Automaticly Bring me to your Profile So you Don't Have to Post your URL in the Comment Box
2*Did you know that you could also have Commented with name/url If you had a Related Post on your Blog
3*Did you Notice that in My Post I said I hate people that Ignore what I am Saying and just put there comment in to try and get a Link
4* Do you know What this means meta content="'index,nofollow'" name="'robots'/"
Please feel free to leave your Comment Below and Thanks For Reading
Feeling tired of people posting messages in my Blogcatalog profile I have began a Small breakaway Group.The Idea of it Is to just Post your Blog Address and Visit the other people in the Group and stay look around for a minute or so and you skip all the channel hopping so you can cut out the middleman and get traffic to your blog.
I would like the members to stay and look around the other Blogs because bounce rates affect Ranking.And things like Blogwalking are killing you page rank if everyone in the group just visited each blog for 30 seconds everyday it could increase Alexa rank also.So would you visit 10 sites a day for 10 visits and Watch your alexa Rank go up I think it's a good deal so visit the group it's called put your site in here only and visit the members for a little time and they will visit back.
Little steps like this will get you a few visits a day and maybe you could get backlinks also but remember to visit each site at least once a day if not a few times a week.Because this method would get you more traffic than Blogcatalog.So why not join in a get some visitors even if it's only 10 a day but Remember only 1 url per person.This is because of people who have 10 blogs and we can't visit them all so just one person 1 blog and 1 visit for each blog you visit.
This Week I have Been using tags to find similar interests and it's Working Page Views are increasing Visits are not but who needs Visitors that are Not looking around Plus I have Been Gaining Good Backlinks by
searching like Articles and just adding a link to them.No we are all greedy with Linking.This is because we give to receive this is not always a good thing you need links from a A-list Blogger so you think.What about linking to your so Called Contacts ?,But you Don't Link to their Blog Directly unless it's Content is Very Similar to yours,what you do is link to a post on the blog from a post similar on the other blog.So many blogs have different topic but maybe there is one post related to a post on your blog.
Here is what I done this Week,I have some interest in Comics but I don't have many posts on cartoons but I do have one or two.So I placed a link to another members page on this post
So now these posts are connected and it's a part of my network of future comic posts.But you can Also do it with most of your articles if they linkback nice if they don't who cares ?.The point of it is that your post has more exit points for Visitors to choose From and I am not creating a trap for people from the search engine.
Now you can do this also if you wish but just think about what you are linking to.I you search through my lijit engine you will find people and posts on my network.This is why Today I did not keep him as a contact.Because his Request to a Person who had 12 or so communities Which were all Affiliate Programs why Bother joining such nonsense he should promote this Kind of Thrash in Traffic Exchanges.So there is No Point of me Joining him Because I don't Sell E-Books.
What I also Got was A Technoratti Favourite from Someone who Has a Very Funny Site and I favoured him Back this is How you are Supposed to use this Program to make contacts and Increase Rankings and Traffic.So if you want to Favour me on Technoratti I will return your good Deed.And do the same with your Community if they don't favour Back Delete them from you Best list and as a contact because they are useless to your Network and are not Friends also leave their community.But Before you do this Leave them a Message that you favoured them and when the come back Crawling on their knees you will get a Visit from them at least.
I hope this was of help and please feel free to share you Opinion on this Topic.mybloglog

You can Find Xp Tweaks,Dial up Tweaks and Mobile broadband tweaks here Just Search here.The Engine Focus is on Tweaks Not Programs so you find what you are looking for faster I have to filtered out Sites that will not help you and are asking for a download and Not interested in finding what you are looking for.
An Example is you are looking for Windows Registry Tweaks. Just think how many Crappy Registry Cleaners there is 1000's of them.But you want to know "How to tweak the Windows Registry".This is Where the Sites I excluded don't come up and you find only Registry Tweaks.This will Save you lots of Time and you won't have to read through all these Search Results that are Irrelevant to you Search.I have previewed All the Sites that i have Excluded I took me Lots of time But the Results Are much More of User Interest Than Commercial. So you Will Find More "Tweaks Not Scam Downloads" Resulting in a Cleaner Search.These Registry Cleaners Are Not the Only Things filtered Out, I Also Filtered out Things Like Speed up you Internet Connection,Cnet and More.That Are Trying to Sell not inform You.I try to filter out as much as i can by visiting the sites and Seeing if they are promotional or Informative by Informative i mean that they will help not informative about Selling Propaganda such as Newspaper Reports and Magazine Reviews Only Tweaks Interest This Search Engine.
The Other Sites Excluded Are Paid to Promote sites that claim to do Research on products But these Sites are only Reviewing for Sales purposes Claiming that one product is Better and so on So when you Search for "getting more traffic" you should have Little or No. "SEO Scam Sites" Just Blogs and Real Information.To learn more about Seo scam sites "click here"Here is a site with many tweaks Start Menu Missing Items (Ask Bob Rankin)
Out of the Can marketing yes we have seen it all Someone is trying to sell you an Ebook that will make you Rich how many pages are there like this.There is a problem i have with this, the first is if someone knows how to make money online they are not going to tell you for free.Secondly I hate Ebooks they fill your Hard drive with Crap and i don't want them for free and i will Surely not pay for one.
There is only one way to get traffic that is "hard work" .One must promote their site where ever they can Forums are useful for this but this is what Bugs me about Posting on Forums. I post on a Forum and it comes up in a result.If i promote my Site in the post i Could get kicked out so, Somebody has to 1st Find my forum post in the search and look at it. But maybe the forum is not open and they cannot Read the post. Then i am counting on the chance that they like my post and want to know more that they will click on my profile and view my page. so this is ok if i am that very lucky that the person searching does this.Just read this from Why forums suck
"For example, someone in a forum might say that he’s had a lot of good experience with Product A to solve a specific problem mentioned in a forum. A proponent of competing Product B might come forward and accuse the other person of being stupid for using Product A, or that Product A is for morons. He won’t provide any facts to back up his argument or, if he does, the facts will be, in reality, more opinions. His purpose is not to provide useful information to other participants or even to answer the original question. His purpose is to bash Product A and the person who suggested it as a solution."
Now your link is lost because two guys are bashing each other what do you do next ?.Another Problem With Forums Is that some have rules About You Must Post 25 times to leave a message this results in Millions of Quick Posts Just so the User Can Send a Message.Because if they Digg Up an Old Thread they will be Called a Troll my advice is If you are Really Interested in A Forum Join it only takes a few Minutes.But the problem is if you join and don't get results "You only Have Trash in Your Mailbox".To avoid these Registrations "click here"
