How To Do Blogging
Blogs are becoming a bigger and bigger part in the advertising world. A Blog used to be used mainly for informational purposes. People used blogs like a little journal. However, times are changing and blogs are now popping up left and right promoting business programs. And, they are bringing a ton of free traffic. Right now there are three places that I would recommend for getting a blog.
Wordpress.com is for advanced bloggers who know a little more about blogs and want to have more control and freedom with their blog.
Wordpress.org is for those who have a website and would like to host their very own Blog on it. So, your Blog would look like this: http://www.yoursite.com/blog. I only recommend this for people who are very advanced with websites and hosting.
Blogger.com is a Blog for beginners. If you�re just starting out I recommend that you use blogger.com.
What Is A Blog?
A Blog is a place where you can submit information and keep it either private or have it open for everyone to see and read. If used correctly, a Blog can become a HUGE money maker for you and your business.
Blogs allow you to talk about any topic you wish to, post movies, images, and so much more! If you haven�t had the time to sign-up for a Blog, I suggest you do so because you�re missing out on a great and free way to draw traffic to your website.
Blogs are also a very powerful tool because they can get ranked very high in popular search engines for very good keywords. We will discuss how to do this later on.
What To Write On Your Blog:
Once you�ve got your Blog set-up, the next step is to start writing on your Blog. So what exactly should you be writing or talking about?
Well, pretty much everything and anything! I would suggest writing about working at home and how to make money online, since that�s why we are all here.
Do the same thing you would do for when you write an Article. First, research a topic and educate yourself on it. Once you know enough about the topic, then write a small 200 to 300 word Article about it and post it to your Blog.
A good thing to do is to write an Article or Press Release, and post it to your Blog. Everytime you write an Article or Press Release post it to your Blog. You can also use your Blog to write reviews of other programs or businesses you�ve been involved with.
Always remember to keep your Blog very informational, and never try to sell people, this is a huge turn off.
How To Get Your Blog Ranked:
You want to get your Blog ranked high up in the big search engines like Google. It�s actually a very simple and easy thing to do.
First, you will want to pick a keyword you wish to target. Remember, when you pick your keyword to make sure it doesn�t have millions of searches.
Once you find a good keyword to use, the next thing you�ll want to do is make sure to use this word in your Blog title. Putting your keyword in your Blog title will help it stand out in Google, and other search engines, greatly increasing your rank.
Next, you�ll want to use the keyword in the body of your post you made at least 10 times, but remember not to over do it, because this could possibly do more harm then good.
Then, you should bold or underline your keyword three or four times. Also, make sure you use your keyword within your first and last sentences of your Blog post. This is another small trick that will greatly help increase your ranking.
Finally, use your keyword in your link back to your website. Make sure you always leave a link back to your website after every post you make on your Blog, and ALWAYS have your keyword in the link.
After you�re done with that, you will then want to ping your Blog. We will go over that next.
How To Ping Your Blog:
The next step to help getting your Blog ranked is to ping your Blog. When you ping your Blog you�re telling search engines and directories that you�ve just updated your Blog with fresh new content, and we all know search engines love fresh new content!
So, here is what you�ll want to do: Right after you've made your post on your Blog, you�re next step will be to visit either:
http://www.pingoat.com or http://www.pingomatic.com
Once you�re at the website, enter your Blog's name followed by the Blog URL. Next, you�ll want to make sure you check all the boxes.
After all the boxes are checked, all you have to do then is simply hit the submit button and wait about 45 seconds for the process to be completed.
Once this process is complete, you�ve just sent a message to all the search engines and Blog directories telling them you�ve updated your Blog!
