Seven Blogging Tips In contrast To Content Sites.

Image representing Blogger as depicted in Crun...Image via CrunchBasePerhaps a lot of people to understand what a blog is. However, just in case for a few newbie readers, I’ll try to explain what it really is. A blog is a site which has articles after articles written one after the other. The content is not being written all at once upfront. Although it is quite being updated along the way.

A blog lists the articles in a chronology manner, being the most recent, the initial. Money Clicking. Net is a blog. A blog is normally supported by way of a system or perhaps a script. You should use Blogger. com (remote hosted), Wordpress (PHP script), Movable Type (Perl script), etc .

Anyway, back to this issue. I was on the phone with my friend; we concluded it’s best to have a blog because it’s best to get traffic with it.

Why? Well, there are a few mechanics of a blog and also the culture of blogging that means it is easier.

To begin with - it’s better to get incoming links. Let me tell you how.

Tips 1: Blog Ping

To begin with, there’s this thing called - PING. With a blog ping, if ever you write a fresh article in your blog, you can set addresses to some ping sites to tell them which you updated your site. Once you do that, you’ll get a link back to your site. Ping sites are like Technorati. com and BlogRolling. com. News sites like MSN News, Yahoo News and MoreOver, also have to ping addresses.

Now, perhaps you won’t be listed very long on that page, because a great many other blogs are also pinging to the websites. Other than pretty much, it’ll help. I’ve been through my web statistics, and traffic did result from the websites that I pinged.

Tips 2: Trackback

Secondly, there’s also TRACKBACK. Now, I was with a friend explaining how trackbacks worked the other day. Right now I’ll let you know. With blogs, for every article that you write, you will see a unique URL for it. And for each article, there’s also a distinctive trackback URL. Once you are in another person’s blog, look for trackback URL, and you'll desire to copy it.

Now here’s the method that you work with a trackback URL. Let say you're at somebody else’s blog. And that he just wrote about something about cat grooming. And somehow, you feel that you have something to say about what that he wrote - and you also know, what you would like to say will be very long, which might not be ideal for a comment. So you write your own message at your site, and lower down the interface, you enter another guy’s trackback URL, and you hit the Submit button.

Now, that new article can look on your blog. And because you devote a trackback URL, an integral part of your article may also come in another guy’s article as a comment. And that comment links directly back to your article. So that’s how trackbacks work.

Tips 3: Blog Comments

Now, my third point on why blog is better than content-site - Blog Comments. That's where you're able to go around at other blogs and write some comments on articles. And you also even leave a link back to your site. Apart from here’s finished ., merely ensure that your comments are genuine, because nowadays, you can find the way too many people spamming blog comments just to get a link right back.

Tips 4: Bloggers’ Linking Habit

OK, here're even more. This is more a blogging culture thing - bloggers prefer to connect to one another. If your blog is interesting, it’s easy to get other bloggers to link back to you. Whether you require it on your website, or sometimes they just simply offer you a link right back. I’ve got this often, and most of the times; they connect to right back write to a specific message. And once in a while they just list blogs that they like on the website.

Tips 5: Faster SE Indexing

This is getting quite long already. However, I am not done. With regards to getting traffic, may very well not realize this, but it’s better to get indexed in the search engines with a blog. I don’t know why - perhaps it’s because incoming links are more natural, and you also don’t really go around requesting them. So when the incoming links are more natural, I believe search engine will prefer it a lot more.

I've experienced were new contents on my blog was indexed in under seven days.

Tips 6: Repeat Visitors

Now, once you get traffic from search engines, ping sites, along with other blogs, later you’ll begin to recognize that 80-90% of one's visitors repeat visitors. It’s normal with a blog. So the point has been this one - it’s better to retain visitors with a blog.

You obtain huge traffic from multiple sources - and those you already have you can keep. This is not the same as content-sites, where you truly so much on search engine traffic.


Tips 7: RSS(Real Simple Syndication) 

RSS is a very powerful technology that has been around for quite some time and when used correctly, can build an audience overnight.

Creating BLOGS and using RSS as a vehicle to syndicate your Blogs content is a Sure-Fire way to get your content spidered more frequently by search engines and the exposure it deserves, which in turn, will build you a large audience of buying customers who TRUST you.

Recommendation Reading: How to put Rss feed to your website

Blogging Seems A lot more Fun...

If you ask me, starting from scratch, in six month, a content-site may or may not reach to mark of 1000 visitors per day. Furthermore, it takes serious hours writing content and building incoming links. I've multiple sites consistently doing 100-200 visitors per day, after six months. Although with a blog, it’s not unusual in case a blog reaches 3000 visitors per day, provided you give good content.

Except Perhaps, everything boils down to that you are comfortable with.

Realizing this, I might be planning differently in the foreseeable future - but I am not certain on that yet. From the looks of it, blogging seems a lot more fun. You reveal everything you like, as well as your network with other bloggers. And the writing part becomes much, easier with scripts like WordPress and Movable Type. Not much designing, no uploading files, fewer link buildings, etc. ....

With building content-sites, you still have to create the website again, upload them around your web hosting, build incoming links, etc. ....

This is my opinion. And you'll not think exactly the same way I do, based on your individual experience and knowledge. I respect that.
