Beginner’s Guide: Start a blog, get 100,000 page views and make over $100 your first month

If you’re a blog reader, chances are you’re also an aspiring blog writer. Launching a for-profit weblog is extremely attractive because it has the potential for endless profit with practically no overhead. Launching a blog is a quick and easy process even for the absolute beginner. The following is what I learned from my pre-lifehack.org blog in which I earned over $100 and received over 100,000 page views my first month blogging. I did it and you can too! Make the jump to find out how.
Technical stuff
First things first, you’ve got to get the technical stuff out of the way. The “technical stuff” I’m talking about includes choosing a blogging platform, choosing a hosting service, and choosing a domain name. Chances are you’re well aware of the various blogging platforms so I won’t spend time going over them. I think the best blogging software to use is WordPress. Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger.net has an excellent post that describes the features of WordPress 2.0. After you’ve decided on a blogging application, you need to chose a domain name and a hosting service. If you have never blogged before (or even if you have) you will find that it is easiest to chose a domain name and hosting package from the same service provider. GoDaddy.com has 24/7 technical support (although you will pay a premium compared to other hosting providers) and it will completely automate the installation of WordPress for free. If you are not a technical person, this frees you from messing around with all the technical junk.
Domain name
It is extremely important that you think long term before picking a domain name. After you establish your blog, you aren’t going to be able to transfer your domain name without losing your readers, really! Think of your domain name as being permanently attached to your blog. Your domain name should be as short as possible, easy to remember, easy to speak, and not include any part of your name unless you’re a celebrity (which you’re not). You should avoid using any part of your name because if your blog becomes popular enough to sell, having your name as part or all of the domain name will drive down some of the blog’s value.
Get advertisements immediately
Sign up for advertisements immediately. You’re not going to make any money without advertisements. Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and many others offer advertisements that you can easily integrate into your site. I had great success using Google Adsense. Despite what you may have heard, you can make some pretty good money with Google ads. Checkout Darren from ProBlogger’s survey about Adsense income. I also recommend signing up with PayPopUp banner ads. PayPopUp pays you every time their ad is displayed, you don’t have to rely on users clicking the links. This will not make you nearly as much money as Google Adsense, however it is guaranteed money even if no visitors click your advertisements. After your blog is established, the goal should be to ditch third party advertisements and sell advertising space directly to companies.
Get Google Analytics immediately
You will want to track as much information about your visitors as possible, the easiest and most detailed way of doing so is with Google Analytics. Amongst many other things, Google Analytics lets you see the referring URL of your visitors, your top content, what Google searches are landing users at your site, how long users are staying, and their exit points. Knowing this information will help you customize your content so that you can maximize your readership. You should also consider using Site Meter to publicly display your site’s up to the hour traffic to potential advertisers.
Write 50 posts
That’s enough talk about setup, it’s time to talk content. That’s right, you need to write at least 50 posts your first month. That’s 2-3 posts per day, everyday for 30 days. It may seem tough, but it is absolutely necessary. The number one way that you will lose potential readers is to not update your site regularly. You need to establish readership, and get your Google Page Rank up, if you can’t come up with 50 posts the first month, you may want to consider finding another topic for your blog. Adding several posts per day will help increase the amount of Stumbleupon traffic your site grabs.
Submit every article to Digg
This recommendation is going to bring some negative comments, I’m sure. Regardless, digg.com is a tremendous way to advertise your site for free. Honestly, submit every article you write to digg. When you are starting a brand new blog, besides exchanging links with more establish blogs (which I recommend) there will be absolutely no links to your site. Even if you think the article is no good, submit it to digg. Let the digg community decide what is good content and what is not. You might as well let your work get some exposure. Some of my most popular posts through Stumbleupon got less than 4 diggs. Every article that doesn’t make the front page of digg will land you about 100 page views. If you do make the front page of digg (it’s a great feeling, believe me). You will get anywhere between 3,000 and 20,000 page views per day.
What would you do differently ?
I know some of you have been blogging for a very long time. What would you add that I didn’t mention? Is there anything I suggest that you disagree with? Please share your opinion in the comments.

5 Link Building Mistakes

Link Building is an important aspect of any website SEO campaign. Lots have been written about it and that’s why we are not going to discuss here “how to get backlinks for your site “. As clear from the title of post, we are concentrating on things which should be avoided during link building campaign.

Why does anyone try to increase the backlinks? Obviously to increase SERP of site and to improve SEO and page rank. But what if same process acts in the other way? Wrong link building strategy can really hamper your site in search engine rankings. So while increasing backlinks try to avoid the these basic mistakes

1. Same/Single Anchor Text

In link building tips you will always find to use anchor text and put your keywords in anchor text. But what if you start using single anchor text in each link building technique e.g commenting, forum signature etc?

Search engines algorithms are much refined and smarter now. It would signal that they are not the natural links, rather they are manipulated for improving search engine ranking for a specific keyword. So use a set of anchor texts instead of using single anchor text.

2. Rapid Increase in Backlinks in Short Period

There are many link building companies offering their paid services to increase the inlinks in short time. By using such services your links might increase in a short time but again would it be look natural that you have 1000 links at start of January and 10000 links at the end of January?  Obviously, no.

So if it’s not looking natural to you, same is the case with the search engines. Link building is an ever going process and should be increased at natural pace.

3. Major Chunk of Links from Single Site

Your link should be well distributed over different WebPages. I have personal experience of it. My blog was having Google Page Rank 2 after few months of its creation; it was free Blogger hosted blog at that time, I tried to increase the inlinks by joining a SEO forum and took part actively on the forum and after few days my links increased, but at next Google pagerank update my blog rank came down to zero. After trying to asses what has happened actually, I came to the conclusion that it’s because my major inlinks (about 90%) came from a single site.

4. Excessive Link Exchange

Link exchange is another link building technique in which two publishers exchange their links to have good ranking. Do not exchange link excessively as it will not look natural. Google Matt Cutts said in an interview that

“At first we said avoid the reciprocal links. Really, what you need to do is avoid the excessive reciprocal links. So we added the word excessive.

Because, if you look at the Google directory, which is like the open directory in Dmoz except with PageRank and the Yahoo directory, it’s almost certain that Google links to Yahoo and Yahoo links to Google on some level.”

So one can exchange the link but if your site has excessive links to sites which have your links, then it can cause trouble.

5. Excessive Links from Low Rank Sites

Its one of the basic things in link building that a link from a quality site is better than 100 links from low rank sites. So try to get the quality link by using methods like interesting and topic related comments, writing guest posts etc. It’s better to invest time to have the permanent quality links rather than to waste hours in getting low links.

How to Get More Traffic from Delicious ?

The social media websites are the source of alternate traffic that helps us to increase traffic and business. A social bookmarking website allow us to save our favorite news and share useful and interesting information with other users. Building a large network and participating regularly will give you lots of traffic with similar interests. Some of the popular social bookmarking websites from where you can recieve hundred and more traffic depending on the topic. Some of the social media websites with lots of users are delicious, digg, stumbleupon, reddit, propeller, etc. I want to share some tips helpful if you want traffic from delicious. For this, you must spend few minutes and participate in delicious. Below are the useful tips mentioned :

Make Friends Regularly : Regularly add few friends in your network. Login in your account and click "See more Popular bookmarks" to see the popular stories. Watch the profile of the person submitted the news or link in the delicious, you will find lots of people added in his network. You can add friends from his network.

Spending Sometimes Will be Beneficial : Regularly spend 30-40 minutes here and soon you will have a good network of friends with hundred or more bookmarks. Try to add two, three or friends and 4-5 links to your favorite sites. Now calculate, if you add 4 friends and 4 favorite links then within a month then you will have 120 friends and 120 favorite links.

Bookmark Daily : You should be active regularly else people will not add you in the network and even not vote your link. It is important to get traffic daily. If you bookmark something regularly, you will be active and people will notice your regular activity and they will add you in his network.

Bookmark Others Links : Add the links of others in your favorites if it is interesting and helpful to the others. This is the best way to attract the others and these members regularly visit your profile.

Bookmarklet Save Time : Add the one-click add on to your browser to save bookmark in just one click and it is the time saver and no need to login again and again. This option is provided by social media websites and it is time saving option.

Tags are Helpful : Don't forget to add tags relevant to the link you have added. The more tags means better to increase traffic but should not be unrelevant. Suppose if you want to submit seo tips for the beginners then your tag should be seo, internet marketing, seo tips, beginners seo tips, best seo tips, seo techinques, etc.

You can also use look up a URL option to check how many people save the page you entered in the box. If you want to save your favorite pages, click on "Save a new bookmark" and enter the URL including title and description and save it in your favorite list.


I hope this article will be helpful for the beginners. Delicious is very popular social bookmarking website and it can be a very beneficial tool for you to increase more and more traffic.

SEO tips - E-mail marketing

E-mail marketing is a form of direct marketing which uses electronic mail as a means of communicating commercial or fund-raising messages to an audience. In its broadest sense, every e-mail sent to a potential or current customer could be considered e-mail marketing. However, the term is usually used to refer to:

• sending e-mails with the purpose of enhancing the relationship of a merchant with its current or previous customers, to encourage customer loyalty and repeat business,
• sending e-mails with the purpose of acquiring new customers or convincing current customers to purchase something immediately,
• adding advertisements to e-mails sent by other companies to their customers, and
• sending e-mails over the Internet, as e-mail did and does exist outside the Internet (e.g., network e-mail and FIDO).

Comparison to traditional mail

Advantages

E-mail marketing (on the Internet) is popular with companies for several reasons:

• An exact return on investment can be tracked ("track to basket") and has proven to be high when done properly. E-mail marketing is often reported as second only to search marketing as the most effective online marketing tactic.
• Advertisers can reach substantial numbers of e-mail subscribers who have opted in (i.e., consented) to receive e-mail communications on subjects of interest to them.
• Over half of Internet users check or send e-mail on a typical day.
• E-mail is popular with digital marketers, rising an estimated 15% in 2009 to £292m in the UK

Disadvantages

A report issued by the e-mail services company Return Path, as of mid-2008 e-mail deliverability is still an issue for legitimate marketers. According to the report, legitimate e-mail servers averaged a delivery rate of 56%; twenty percent of the messages were rejected, and eight percent were filtered.

Companies considering the use of an e-mail marketing program must make sure that their program does not violate spam laws such as the United States' Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM),[6] the European Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, or their Internet service provider's acceptable use policy.

Legal requirements

In 2002 the European Union introduced the Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications. Article 13 of the Directive prohibits the use of email addresses for marketing purposes. The Directive establishes the opt-in regime, where unsolicited emails may be sent only with prior agreement of the recipient.

The directive has since been incorporated into the laws of member states. In the UK it is covered under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and applies to all organisations that send out marketing by some form of electronic communication.

In addition to satisfying legal requirements, e-mail service providers (ESPs) began to help customers establish and manage their own e-mail marketing campaigns. The service providers supply e-mail templates and general best practices, as well as methods for handling subscriptions and cancellations automatically. Some ESPs will provide insight/assistance with deliverability issues for major email providers. They also provide statistics pertaining to the number of messages received and opened, and whether the recipients clicked on any links within the messages.

The CAN-SPAM Act was updated with some new regulations including a no fee provision for opting out, further definition of "sender", post office or private mail boxes count as a "valid physical postal address" and definition of "person". These new provisions went into effect on July 7, 2008

Search engine optimization (SEO)

"Doing a good seo is crucial ... but the key is to offer quality content."

In general, users do not make much use of the lists of favorites or bookmarks browsers provide systems and rarely directly typed the URL of the page you wish to go, because he might not know it.

Given this dynamic, web positioning strategies are critical . Since on the other hand, after a search of less than 40% of Internet users reached the second page of results that provides a search engine, and only 10% check to the third. This is where it is clear the need to achieve visibility and to achieve this we need to think like search engines to better communicate with them.

Google, Yahoo, MSN and company order their results through mathematical algorithms that undergo analysis hundreds of factors. Each company uses a different formula and the idea is not decipher.

The answer lies in the SEO . SEO is the acronym for "search engine optimization (Search Engine Optimization) or" search engine optimizer "(Search Engine Optimizer), which gives us a series of clues and techniques to interpret the mode of operation search engines.

1. Content

What users see vs. what are the search engines. Users can watch and / or read the website but search engines can only read the programming code with which they are developed and, even today, still can not read them all equally, for example, Flash has recently joined Google results but can not be optimized as HTML.

Graphics, sounds and videos are part of a page that search engines can not decipher it is for this reason that the positioning work is based on HTML tags and text.

2. Indexability

This concept refers to the ownership of the page to be properly indexed by search engine robots, allowing access to all corners, facilitating navigation and showing all its contents clearly.

"The meta tags

The Meta Tags are code in the header is not visible on screen when displaying the page. There are several types of Meta-Tags and they do a description of the content and features we want that search engines take into account.

    * Meta Robots :         This tag is only necessary if you want that page is not indexed in search engines.

    * Meta Description :  This tag is important because it allows us to make a more profound than in the title, which we refer to the page content.

    * Meta Keywords :    Perhaps the most important, she put the key words through the schools want this page to be found on search engines. Any other Meta tag is not considered by most search engines, only for some very specialized. It is noteworthy that Meta tags are not a magic solution to position a site in search engines, you must use all the techniques to be successful.

 

In conclusion, the main goal HTML tags to keep in mind for a good positioning are:

- Title.

Before entering into any other theme or gimmick positioning is important to define the titles of our pages, which should make a brief reference to the content of the page to which you are assigning, taking care to include the most important word describe the page or section to which we refer.

- Description.

Individual short description or abstract of the document as a meta tag that summarizes in a brief and concise content of the document and that may appear below the title in the "SERP's (search results pages of search engines.)

- H1, H2, H3, ... Hn

Correspond to the holders of any websites, so that the text you include in this tag will be taken into account for the contents of the page. Its importance depends on the number that accompanies them, H1 being the most important and so on until H6. You should only use a single level page and not found much use beyond the H4.

"The relevance

Relevance is an important point, this means that any word used in the title and meta tags of the page in question should be included within the text content of the page. It is noteworthy that some practices are penalized by search engines such as using hidden text and word lists.

"The URL

You try to be as descriptive as possible and semantically also facilitate proper indexing of the document. As an example: www.nombreempresa.com / activity-main.html

To strengthen the content of the page and improve your position in search engines is important that labels view the URL above and have the same content.

»Photos

Are not read by search engines, but you can rename them or give them descriptive attributes to facilitate indexing. A picture of a cat whose name is "12345.jpg" is not very descriptive, but if you change it to "gato.jpg" and you're telling the search engines what is that picture. And you can add the ALT attribute, very important for accessibility of documents and for proper indexing, with a description of the photo, in this case ALT = "a gray cat," and that will also serve people with disabilities be aware of their visual content.

"The outgoing links

They are also an important factor in the confidence that generates a site. Always try to add value to the user through the content with outbound links. Since your users can not navigate all the available web pages: Convert your reference page with unique content and a number of resources that extend and complement the information.

"The map

Finally, your site should include a file sitemap.xml , a map of your site to facilitate proper indexing by search engines.

 

3. Keywords

One of the most crucial factors in the management of the natural results are the key words, as in any book we are informed of the contents of the page and to be text, are perfectly understood by search engines, you should avoid using text as: "Home Page", "Home," Name of the Institution. "Search engines are the main gateway to cyberspace. A person who wants to find a page on the Internet, usually done through a search engine.

All positioning campaign must begin with the analysis of the keywords or keywords for which you want to optimize the website. Keywords means those words such as "hotel" or strings of words such as "hotels in Barcelona, and your choice will depend on the content of your campaign goals, and finally, the target or target to which you want to address .

The SEO is roughly 4 points:

* Content. Basis of SEO, without content you have nothing to position . The aim is that the content created, has quality and is accessible and readable by search engines. You      can use SEO-Browser to view your site as you would a search engine.

* S.E.O. (search engine optimization)Keywords (keywords) . The basis for the classification of any form are the key words, for according to the words that we include on our site, we store the search engines. So choose the best keywords for your site is one of the great challenges of SEO . The typical procedure for choosing and finding keywords is that   once chosen the theme on which we write, we make an investigation of possible keywords, through research on the topic to see what kind of concepts and words are which      are more related to it and then brainstorm ideas related words (can be via a tool like Google for keywords ). Once you've identified several key words then check the      

frequency with which they are searched and choose according to your target market and existing competition for that keyword. It should be noted that the term " keyword "does not necessarily refer to a word and in most cases refers to phrases .

* Optimization. Once you have the list of keywords you're using should try to take the best advantage of optimizing your content using tags , as the title (title), headers (h1, h2, h3, ...) and description (mini-summary of your page.)

* Authority. The way you show the search engines that our site is relevant, is through the sites we link. Making other sites link to us is what is known as link building . In addition, since the content is not sold by itself is important to promote related sites, portals and social networks and eventually cultivate relationships with other bloggers and with your own readers, it is these that can help you promote you by word of mouth.

4 . Professional Services

Hiring an SEO is a very important decision that can improve your site and save time, but also risk damage to your reputation. Make sure to research the potential benefits and the damage that a solvent can cause little SEO on your site. Many SEOs and other agencies and consultants provide useful services for website owners, including:

    * Review the content and site structure.

    * Technical assistance in the development of web sites, for example, hosting, redirects, error pages, using JavaScript, etc.

    * Content Development.

    * Management online business development campaigns.

    * Keyword research.

    * SEO training.

    * Experience in specific sectors and geographic regions.

Advertise on Google does not influence the position in which your site appears in search results. Google never accepts money to include or rank sites in our search results, appear in organic search results is free.

There are free resources such as Google Webmaster Tools, the Webmaster Central blog and the official forum, which can provide a wealth of information about optimizing your site for organic search. You can find many of these free resources and information on paid search in Google Webmaster Central .

 

 

Basic SEO for beginners

The role of keyword in search engine optimization is very important. The target keyword of the page must be in the page including heading, anchor text and meta tags. In the age of internet, it is very tough to get top rank in search engines for a particular keywords even if your website has good PR and back links. It is due to lack of SEO techniques.

Remember these points when targeting the keywords:

1. First of all do not target your page with single keyword. Use keyword combination. If your website is related to travel in India, target it by "India Travel" not by India or by travel.

2. Use keyword suggestion tools to find the idea of appropriate keyword for a particular page. The popular keyword suggestion tools are google, keyword discovery, etc.

3. Must use your keyword in heading tag, 1-2 times in title and description, means not more than 7-8 times. Do not repeat it excessive to get higher in search engine ranking. It is against the search engine guidelines and your website can be penalize.

4. Use misspelled words in the page. If your one of the page is providing tour information on Taj Mahal then use "Tag Mahal" because people from outside India using it and will be beneficial for you.

5. Title tag should not more than 5-15 words, description should be up to 200-225 words and keywords should not more than 150 words.

6. If you are using images then insert alt text relevant to the image name. Use short text and if possible use keyword in the alt text.

Two of the three biggest search engines (Google and Yahoo) place great importance on internet more than ever, if you want to own a successful business needs a successful website you should know what it means to be friendly to search engines. And one of the main rules for optimizing your website for search engines is to create inbound links - links (links) from other sites pointing to your site. 10 years ago, when Google started changing the code to content (including inbound links) as the preferred way of determining the "relevance" of a website, the world changed. Webmasters immediately began trying to capture every link they could get. But this no longer works well although the inbound links are still important. In many ways are more vital than before. How then, got to get those precious links with text link? We are those 10 strategies:

1. Comments on Blogs

    Change the way you read blogs of other people. It was always said that reading is good. But it's better if it interacts with bloggers. This

    makes them feel good. Validates what they are writing. Start a relationship between the two. And, here's the best part, gives an inbound

    link to your site.

2. Blog Trackbacks

    Start a blog and relate to all those blogs you're reading in the form of a "trackback" in their post. Do not know what that means? Search for

    "trackback" on Wikipedia, or go deeper with a Wordpress.org tutorial. Implement this strategy, is an elegant way, easy and effective way of

     getting inbound links.

3. Pay Per Click Ads

    PPC advertising is in fact an aggregate cost of marketing. However, it is a controlled environment for building reliable ROI, and a great way

    to build inbound links where you have control over the text used in the link text.

4. Forum comments:

   Similar to participate in forums comments and trackbacks to blogs, participating in forums in your industry will enable relacionarce with

   other professionals, we keep abreast of current trends, and allow you to build inbound links in line with the signing of their posts.

5. Build Other Pages

   some social sites allow you to create content and post it on their domain as new pages. A great example of this is Seth Godin's

   Squidoo.com. Creating content that focuses on a particular subject will engage readers and create more inbound links to your main site.

6. Wikis

    The concept of a wiki (like wikipedia.org) is that readers are also contributors of content. Anyone who is logged can log in and change

    content. Understand that other readers of this content have zero tolerance for advertising and sales tactics, be careful with this. Be purely

    informative and helpful to its content. If the content passes the screening, you will have a small link at the outset that potentially will be

    seen by millions.

7. Social networks

    MySpace and FaceBook in fact, but there is an explosion of social sites on the web. Come in and participate. Doing this allows you to

    interact and interact with other professionals, build inbound links.

8. Social Bookmarking

    Different than social networking, social bookmarking is similar to how you add sites to your browser bookmarks with the difference

    that you add your favorite sites in one place, at sites like de.licio.us, ma.gnolia. com, spurl.com, rojo.com, Google bookmarks ... The

    goal is to help people discover these bookmarks, and find your site. An additional advantage of social bookmarking (and blog posts)

    is that you get"tag" their content with label words and phrases that are relevant to the content. These tags are used to identify the content

    in the search process.

9. Sites organized navigation

   This is a variation of social bookmarking. There are sites that organize how people surf the web in an effort to make the process of

   finding content quickly and focused. StumbleUpon.com (available as Firefox plugin) is one of my favorites but others like Technorati

   (blog content), Digg (blogs, articles and news stories) and newcomer Trailfire (another Firefox plugin) allow a power surfing users,

   finding your site via inbound links.

10. Request a link will not discard it yet

    Asking another webmaster a link still works. (Always good to have a link page) However, with all the other options listed above, you

    quickly learn that this tactic is largely a waste of time and unproductive. There is a saying that goes: "Plan your work and work your plan"

    and this applies in the creation of links. The success of your website - and ultimately your business - depends on it! INKS-way to determine

    your ranking. Each link to your site is like a vote and the more votes you have, the higher ranked. In this article I will share important

    information and strategies to help you in the art of creating inbound links.

Do not make these mistakes:

    * Do not waste your time getting one way link service site Page Rank. One or two links from sites with Page Rank 5 + may be worth more

      than 100 links to sites with no PR.

    * Be careful about buying links or you banned. If your website has only a few backlinks a day and the next day has hundreds, Google will

      see this and penalize you.

    * Do not waste your time getting one way links are links that URL, you have to get text links.
