A blog is basically an online journal wherein you can digitally pen down your thoughts, ideas, opinions and practically anything that you want people to read. Blogs come in different styles, formats, and settings, depending on the preference of the user. Many blogging sites, offer built in features such as hyperlink, straight texts, pictures etc. Some blogging sites, even allow you to put video and mp3’s on your blogs.

Instead of writing texts, some bloggers choose to make their blogs more audio friendly, by using spoken word entries. This is called audio blogging.

Basically a blog contains these features:

a) Title; which allows you to label your post

b) Body; this is the content of your post

c) Trackback; other sites can be linked back to your blog

d) Permanent link; every article that you write has a URL

e) Comments; this allow readers to post comments on your blog.

One of the advantages of blogging, is that it is made of only a few templates. Unlike, other websites that is made up of numerous individual pages. This make it easier for blog users to create new pages, because it already has a fix setting that include: slots for title, body of the post, category, etc.

This is especially useful for first time users, since they can start blogging right away. They can chose from a number of templates that blogging websites provide.

Anyone who wants to start a blog can do so by becoming a member of a blogging website of their choice. Once they’ve become members, they automatically become a part of that particular blogging community. They can browse through other bloggers pages, and link them back to their own blogs. They can also make comments on other members’ blogs.

Blogging is not just limited to personal usage. There are a lot of blogs that follow a theme such as: sports, politics, philosophy, social commentary, etc. These blogs espouse on their specific themes. This way blogging becomes a medium in which people can share their knowledge and opinions about a variety of themes and topics.

Some bloggers even use their blogs as a means to advertise. Some authors advertise their books on their blogs. While other bloggers, use their blogs to shed light to currents issues, events, news and catastrophes.

Nowadays in education, blogs also play an important part. Professors use blogging to document the lessons that they have discussed and taught. This way, students who who have missed classes, can easily catch up with their assignments.

A lot of entrepreneurs benefit from blogging by promoting their businesses on their blogs, with millions and millions of people logging onto the net everyday, blogging has become a lucrative move. Some bloggers who run online businesses promote their merchandise online. While others profit through advertisement.

But by far, the most popular blog type is the one that takes the form of a personal journal. This is the kind that is usually used by first time bloggers. Individuals who want to document the daily struggle of their everyday lives, poems, rants, opinions, find that blogging offers them a medium in which to express themselves.

Bloggers usually communicate within themselves. This is one of the appeals of blogging. It creates a community of people sharing their ideas, thoughts, and comments with each other.

Blogs varying in topics, themes, and set-ups, can be found in blog directories. First time users who want to get an idea of what the blogging world is all about can browse through a number of blogs using these directories. This way they’d get an idea of what these blogging communities are like.

Blogging is popular all over the world. Blog is short for the term weblog. There are no rules when it comes to blogging. Bloggers have the freedom to express themselves how ever way they want, and the best thing about blogging, is that most blogging sites are free.

There are numerous blogging websites to choose from in the net. This give first time users the option of joining a blogging community that appeals to their interests.

Their are some good programs at my atclickbank website…………See link kelow………

Backlinks are the text links from one site to another. In effective they create the web element of the World Wide Web. Backlinks to a website tend to be either be reciprocal or one-way in nature.

Reciprocal links are so called because they require reciprocation, that is they are from websites that require a link back to their site as part of the deal for listing your web resource. Some sites may charge a fee for the listing in addition to the reciprocal link requirement. Special care needs to be taken that the site you are linking to (as well as from) is relevant and is of a suitable standard. This is because your site is in effect providing a vote for this resource to say you regard it as a quality resource and that you are happy to promote it.

Determine on what page both the outbound and inbound links are to be placed. You want to make sure you are getting a fair deal. So for example, you don’t want an outbound link on your homepage (which will have decent rankings in the search engines) and only receive an inbound link from a links page well hidden on the other site. The chances are that this page will be several clicks away from the homepage, it may not have any authority in the search engines and it could well contain links to one hundred other websites apart from yours. In this instance you would not be getting a good return on your time and effort, and possibly money.

A variation on straight reciprocal linking is something called three-way linking. This is where a website will offer a link to your site. In return they will require a link from your site to a third site. This way there is not a direct reciprocal linking arrangement. The same principles apply as those mentioned for reciprocal linking above. Only take the time and effort if it is beneficial for you.

One-way links are seen as much more valuable than reciprocal links because they do not require a link to be placed on your site in return. The link is voting for your site as a quality resource but not get a vote the other way. There are many sources for obtaining one-way links in a range of genres. For example there are numerous free and paid web directories. These tend to either general (covering all topics) or niche (focus on a specific sector). They may also be specific to a country, region or town.

Additional sources include article submission sites, press release submission sites, classified ad resources, weblogs and forums where links can be obtained. The links tend to come from author biographies or footer links in a particular post. As ever review the sites for suitability and quality and the better the site, the better quality the link – the link or vote will count more than from a lesser regarded site.

Overall, as a general rule you want to build inbound links from relevant sources, including relevant categories in directories, whilst limiting the number of outbound links, particularly on the homepage. Therefore the success of a link building campaign is to obtain one-way rather than reciprocal links.

Building backlinks to your website should be the backbone of your web promotion strategy. It is considered to be one of, if not the most, important aspect of increasing your websites visibility on the web by improving search engine listing page rank.

Because of this I have outlined some simple suggestions in order to get going with your linking strategy. There are many ways of obtaining backlinks and it is an easy process, however it can be very monotonous and time consuming. Please build your links responsibly and do not spam the following services in order to get more links quickly. The search engines can penalise sites that gain links too quickly as it is deemed that the links are not naturally built.

Firstly do a search on a search engine for site that are similar in content to yours. Go through the tops twenty results and contact as many as you can by email to request exchanging links. Some will oblige, others won’t but this is a good place to start and if you only get four links from twenty it hasn’t taken you long.

If you are a member of a forum, check their signature rules and if they allow HTML signatures add your link to it. This way every time you make a post a link to your site will be generated. Use ‘Anchor text’ too if you can for your keyword of choice.

Similarly to the above, if you post comments on blogs then add a link to you site in the post. Make sure you are allowed to do this first by checking with the blog owner. Many blog comment boxes have a section for adding your site so look out for that.

Web 2.0 or social media sites can be a good way to build links. Go to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Netvous, Delicious and Furl to add you links to news stories or bookmarking features. Make sure you always add your anchor text where possible and always include valuable and decent content when needed.

Creating a Squidoo ‘len’s is always a good idea. Create a page with information about your site and link to it.

Submit your website into the correct category of website directories. The main one is DMOZ but there are thousands of others and can be a useful link building technique. Again this is very time consuming but services like LinkBuildingElite can do this for you.

If you have more than one website or a blog of your own, then link your new site from them.

Avoid spamming link software. The best way to get links is to do it manually. Much software available for this purpose is considered a spamming technique and again could get you penalised by the search engines. Build your links slowly but steadily and you will see results over time.

There are many methods to build backlinks but those mentioned above are a very good place to start, so get going!

Link Building with Directory Submission

Link Building is very crucial in search engine optimization. It denotes the process of building external links so that a user browsing a website could easily find more or other relevant info on the same topic by referring to those links. Search engines give due weightage to similar practices and rank such websites higher than ordinary ones. In their ranking process, search engines consider links pointing to a website as ‘votes’ to the respective website, an appreciation to its relevance or importance given by other websites, and hence rates such websites higher in the order amongst search results. In short, the more the links pointing towards a website, the better will be its page rank. But, on a finer scale, it should also be kept in mind that most of the links pointing towards a website must be from high ranked pages for better page rankings. Further, out of context links does more damage than providing any real benefit.

So, how to get other websites link to your website? Well, one way to achieve that is through directory submissions. There is an assortment of search engine friendly directories available – such as open directory project, MSN and Yahoo – that will be ready to link to your website provided it includes relevant information and confirms with their guidelines and rules of submission. But, care must be taken that you are submitting your website to only relevant directories and to the right categories and not anything in random. Well, it may take a bit of research and effort to get your website submitted in the relevant and popular directories, but once your website could make a permanent listing in the popular directory or directories, soon the traffic to the website will increase and more advertisements and permanent links starts to flow in with enhanced ease. Once reached that level, the link building will become self sustaining and the search engine rankings also will improve accordingly, provided your website continues to provide useful and relevant contents in a consistent manner.

Tail Piece: The difference between search engines and directory submissions is that in the latter, it is human editors who decide on the final submission location and not any automated tool. Since it is human editors who are making the final call, chances are high that a website might reach its right destination in terms of directory/category, most of the times.

How to Get Better Acceptance in Directory Submission

It is clear from the foregoing that directory submission could contribute immensely to link building. But, how to get your website acceptable to directories? In order to get better acceptance in directory submissions, the first thing to take note is to make your website relevant to the directories. Any thing junk or random is not entertained by any of the popular directories. Further, submitting your webpage in to right categories makes the process quicker and such pages will generally gets listed without any delay. Remember, it is manual editors who accepts or rejects applications for submissions, and for a person who might be viewing thousands of web pages daily, it is far easier to reject a page than accepting it. So, how simple and straight you could make your submissions as possible, the more are the chances of it getting listed in the directories.

Another aspect that goes a long way in enhancing acceptance in directories is the way the titles, description and keywords are organized for a web page. Every directory will have their own rules and regulations, and hence web pages must also be organized around such constraints. Regarding descriptions, most directories require it to be short – in the range of 100 – 250 words that may vary from one directory to another – crisp, and to the point. Descriptions that are huge or of ‘beating around the bush’ type are generally showed the door by the directory editors. The same is the benchmark for keywords as well – it needs to be more organized and focused, and not just another group of irrelevant and relevant ones mixed randomly. In that regard, it will be prudent to make a short list of all prospective keywords first before finalizing the most optimal keyword for submission. That will ease the job for you.

Finally, do not spam your directory listings with words being used uncontrollably and insensibly. Directory editors hate such practices and similar applications are rejected outright without any chance for a second consideration.

Twitter is all the rage now; I wish I had a nickel for every time a client mentioned it. Succeeding in it is another matter, though, and at first it can be hellishly confusing.

When I first started, and was following dozens of people, I felt like I was in a busy sports bar during the Super Bowl. I remember thinking: I don’t know these people. I don’t know what they’re talking about. I must be in the wrong place.

It helps to know the rules and a little about the culture before you jump in. It’s not rocket science but it does take a little study and work.

1) Plan: First, think about why you’re even on Twitter.

Know what you want out of Twitter. Are you there for networking, building a brand, driving traffic to your blog? Determining this early will help guide your strategy and improve your odds.

2) Package yourself: First you need to pick out a Twitter ID. Consider your name first (I use @markivey); alternatively, you could use another name with your company, role or skills (example: @mediaphyte). You want something that will build your brand and/or illustrate your expertise.

And don’t skimp on your profile; make it sound engaging, and choose some nice wallpaper—this part is all about personal packaging (you can also customize your own wallpaper, using your company’s logo if you want). Study other Twitter examples because you need to get it right.

3) Follow the right people: Twitter is about following and being followed (more on connecting/conversing later) You can use the basic Twitter search or, better, one of the tools I recently reviewed like Twellow in my blog (www.ioncorporation.com/blog, date: Feb 6). These search engines can make life much easier for you by identifying the right people to follow.

Start with the influencers and industry experts in your industry. Find people with common interests and/or just people you want to track because they’re interesting. Check out some of the really big names here. Look for interesting directories and specialized lists; for instance, here’s 10 journalists worth following. And don’t forget your colleagues–you may have people all over your company tweeting. As one example, here’s a partial list of employees tweeting at Cisco.

4) Learn the lingo: Before you jump in and start tweeting, get up to speed on the lingo and abbreviations. Some common terms*:

• “tweet”: is a message.

• @ ID : A message with the @ sign preceeding the Twitter ID is a reply message; so if you want to send me a message, start with @markivey. (Note that your entire network can view this message).

• DM ID: Putting a DM in front of someone’s ID is a private message (you can only send private messages to people who follow you).

• RT: a retweet. If you find a post particularly interesting, you can copy and paste it and retweet it, as long as you give credit (tools like Tweetdeck have a RT button). (this is one of Twitter’s most interesting features, and how some Tweets go viral).

5) Manage efficiently: The last task is to download a “client” to manage your tweets and traffic. Twitter.com is ok for starters but you’ll soon want to move on to a better platform. These include clients like Twhirl and TwitterFox, which have built in search features, URL shorteners (which you’ll need) and nice interfaces to view and respond to your Tweets. Twitterfox is a Firefox extension, while Twirl is a downloaded application.

My favorite, though, is Tweetdeck.

What I love about Tweetdeck is you can arrange the people you follow into separate, manageable categories. I currently have four categories: “social media” (people who follow social media); “individuals” (business contacts, other influencers in other areas); Favorites; and “all.”

But you can set up categories for almost anything–influencers in your industry; friends/family/close contacts, sports/hobbies; special lists, like journalists or even by twitterers in your geographical area. Just add a new “pane” for each group.

You can also set up search features in separate categories to hunt for certain keywords, like your company name, personal ID or an issue or event (ex: China or World Series) . I have searches set up for “Twitter tools” and “Twitter tips.” The default search is search.twitter.com and Twitscoop, which reports on hot trends and keywords in Twitter.

One warning: Tweetdeck is a memory hog. It can also be addictive. Plan to set aside designated times, say 20 min. 3 times a day, to check it or you may wind up sitting there watching it for hours.

One way to become more efficient is to integrate Twitter into Outlook with a tool like Outwit. You can update your Twitter status and follow your friends without having to open any other applications.

Outwit allows you to schedule your Tweets to be delivered every minute to an hour, and dump them into a separate folder. This way you can check them at your leisure. You can also easily categorize them by name and save them, something you can’t do with Tweetdeck. One downside: your email box can quickly get overloaded (as if you need more email).

* Resources: there are hundreds of terms thrown around in the Twitter universe, some of the downright goofy. For instance, Twittish means “took skittish to twitter”. Check out this glossary for more.

Free Blogging Platforms
The first kinds of blogging platforms are the free variants of popular applications. Blogger.com is the one that is owned by Google and it’s very straightforward to use and completely free. The only drawback is that you don’t really own your blog as it is hosted by Blogger. While the software is great, you’re pretty much out of luck if they decide to pull the plug on you.

The other major, free blogging application is Wordpress.com (not to be confused with Wordpress.org, which is self-hosted). This is also very easy to use, and it is hosted by Wordpress. Be very careful if you are going to do a lot of affiliate marketing on your blog. Wordpress.com has been known to shut sites down without warning!

Hosted Blogging Platforms
As you can see, it is generally a good idea to self-host your blog so you have total control over it. As you begin getting good traffic you’ll definitely want to ensure that there is nothing that can be done to take your blog away. Setting up a free hosted blog is like putting all your eggs in one basket, and that’s never a good idea. Of course that doesn’t mean you cannot set one up that is secondary and meant to help you get backlinks.

Hosted blogs are much better for most people. One of the oldies but goodies is the Moveable Type software. You do have to pay for this, but many people think it’s worth it. It’s a very powerful way to blog.

The Bloggers Blog?
Most bloggers, however, seem to favour Wordpress.org blogs. You host these on your own server, so you have total control! It’s similar to Moveable Type in that it’s very easy to use, but the variety in the support and plugins available is incredible.

There is a massive community set up based around Wordpress. You can find plugins to help you with SEO, to run a membership site, to backup your blog for you, to sell eBay items, and a lot more! There are also a large number of themes you can choose from to make the blog completely your own.

The Decision Is Yours
So, which one should you select? Again, most Internet marketers tend to choose Wordpress. You might want to as well since it is phenomenal software and offers everything you need. Better yet, it’s so easy to use that you can have a blog up and running very quickly and easily.

It is also important to note that most tutorials written in the Internet Marketing arena are focused on Wordpress. It seems to be the gold standard for bloggers, and you might want to select it if only to avoid the hassle of trying to learn another system that not many people use.

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is one internet marketing strategy that any internet entrepreneur would want for their website. Well maybe except for those that really established a strong name over the web, but as for those that started out in ecommerce would really need to learn about SEO. Let’s get to the point, SEO is used as a way to raise a website’s rank in any search engine like Yahoo! and Google (any of the top 10 slots will do, but It’ll be greater if it would be in top 1). By doing so, the possibility of visitors that visits a website would increase, thus increasing sales and profit margin. So long-story-short, SEO is all about increasing the visibility of a website in the world wide web by use of search engines. Now the question is, how do you do SEO?
SEO companies are now available for hire around the world, such as SEO Philippines companies. Some companies have outsourced their SEO needs to these establishments. But it can also be done by anyone that knows basic SEO procedures, even at home. So here is a step-by-step, do-it-yourself, guide on SEO and how to increase visibility in the world wide web.
Step 1: Get Your Keywords
The first step that any SEO Philippines company would do is to research on keywords that perfectly describes the website. Free online keyword research tools like Google Adwords Keyword tool or SEO Book’s Keyword tool are popularly used by many SEO specialists. Highly competitive keywords is the main ingredient in any successful SEO dish. But highly competitive doesn’t only describe single words such as “SEO”, it also emphasizes on the keyword structure, if it really describes the website like “SEO service in the Philippines”.
Note: In a keyword research, always make sure that the keywords are relevant to the website to be optimized. Irrelevant keywords pointing to a website could earn a one way trip to “Ban“svill courtesy of search engines.
Step 2: Know Your Enemies
Well not exactly “enemies” per-se, but competitors. After doing a keyword research, It’s time to look up on your competitors by use of your chosen keywords. Try looking at what SEO tactics or strategies they’ve done. By viewing their source code (ctrl+U for Firefox), you can see the keyword density, meta tags they used, alt tags, and title tags (I’ll explain these later on). To learn the number backlinks (I’ll explain these later on) of a website, try using SEOpen’s free backlink tool, this way you’ll know what you have to beat to gain their spot. Using your competitor’s strength against them is one successful way to succeed in an SEO campaign.
Step 3: Start On-Page SEO
So here we’ll start the first pace of SEO, the on-page optimization. Actually, SEO is divided into 2 parts, the on-page and off-page (which I’ll discuss later on). On-page optimization involves making changes within the website to make it more “search engine friendly”. The strategies and tactics used here are as follows:

Content Optimization – This strategy involves changing the content of the website, particularly with it’s text elements. One way is to embed the researched keywords on texts found throughout the website, focusing mainly on the headers (those with the big bold letters). It is said that keywords used should be take about 7% of the total number of words in a content. Let’s say you have 400 words in a single page, so 7% of that 400 (which is 28) should be keywords. Note: Make sure that the content is still readable after placing those keywords. Remember that the users are still your prime target, not the search engine spiders. Site Map – Site maps are an important part of websites optimized for search engine. This way, search engine spiders (or robots) could easily crawl through the whole website by use of site map. Making it easier for spiders to crawl through the website is one way to make a website “search engine friendly”. Meta Tags - Meta tags are comprised of the Title, Description, and Keywords of the website. Other than the content of websites, meta tags are also the perfect place for keywords. The only difference is that these things are like a “Free Buffet” sign for search engine spiders, it’s the one responsible for attracting search engine spiders to crawl your website. But remember that it still depends on the structure of the meta tags. Alt Tags - Alt tags are those found in HTML image codes. Let’s say your keyword is “SEO Philippines“, your image tag should now look like this: <img src=”images.png” alt=“SEO Philippines”> Just like the meta tags, alt tags are also an appropriate place to put several important keywords. Note: Make sure that only one (1) keyword should be placed on every alt tags found all over the website to avoid keyword spamming (which is part of black hat SEO) Title Tags – Like meta tags and alt tags, title tags are also an appropriate place to put some keywords in. By adding a keyword, let’s take for example “SEO Service”, in the title tag, the HTML hyperlink tag should look like this: <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(’/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”default.aspx” title=“SEO Service Online”> Note: Alt tags are not seen by visitors, only the search engine spiders so it wouldn’t hurt to just leave it with the keyword. But title tags are seen by visitors, so make sure that the title tag is still readable after embedding the a keyword or two.

Step 4: Start Off-Page SEO
Unlike the on-page, off-page optimization involves SEO strategies outside of the website. This part of SEO is divided into two categories, backlinks and public relation strategies. Backlinks are links all over the world wide web that points back to your website. It has long been considered that the many backlinks you have, the more popular you’ll get. Another theory added is the weight or importance of the website where the link is coming from. Tools used to determine the popularity of a website is through Google’s PageRank and Alexa traffic tool. Here are some of the strategies used by SEO specialists to get backlinks.

Link Exchange - One of the earliest forms of backlinking involves exchanging links with other relevant websites. Article Marketing - This type of off-page SEO can be considered both for backlinks and public relations. An article commonly generates an average of 3 links (depending on the kind of article directory it was submitted). It’s also considered as public relations because these articles commonly promotes the business they’re trying to market. Blog and Forum Commenting – Forums and blogs are also a popular trend to generate backlinks by using their signatures as links linking back to your website. Blogging - Other than commenting on other blogs, creating your own blog and embedding links is another popular way for generating backlinks.

PR or public relation strategies of off-page SEO involves generating traffic not only through search engines but also with other types of media. This type of off-page SEO mainly works by marketing their service through word of mouth. These strategies involves the use of:

Social Media - Social media such as Friendster, FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace are the perfect place to start a buzz that could benefit the website through the marketing strategy they call “word of mouth”. Adding a link could also help in getting more backlinks. Social Bookmarking – By using the articles in bookmarking sites such as Technorati or Digg, people could easily learn about your services through your article. This is also another way for the articles to gain more importance in the web, thus increasing the chance for your websites to be visited through your articles.

Other forms of off-page SEO is submitting your website to search engine directories. Make sure to submit your URL for free to Google, Yahoo!, Alexa, www.altavista.com, www.alltheweb.com, www.excite.com, www.lycos.com, www.webcrawler.com, www.Jayde.com, www.whatuseek.com, and more. DMOZ and Yahoo Directory listings are tremendously valuable. There are a lot more free and paid search engines and directories to submit, but if you do not have time to search for and submit, you can also use our search engine submission service.Visit http://www.myoptimind.com for more information.

The use of hashtags in Twitter messages is growing in popularity. Hashtags (i.e. the “#” sign) can be attached to a keyword and added to a tweet message so that it and all other messages with the same #keyword attached can be looked up and read together.

A sure sign that this method of logging tweets is having an impact on the Twitter membership is that there is now a website that is dedicated to it, Hashtags.org. The website lists all the assorted #tags that are currently in use on Twitter.

Twitter members can easily start to utilize hashtags in their own tweets. They are best used if you want to post a regular flow of notifications and have a way to look them all up in a single search. Simply remember include a hashtag in the body of the message.

What exactly do you use these tags for? One important function they serve is to keep a group informed about plans for events and so forth. Hashtags can also be used by Internet business owners who want to inform customers about products and services. Let your client base know about your tags, and you’ll provide them with a handy method of following your tweets.

So the next question this raises is, where is the best place to look them up? Twitter recently bought a search tool called Summize and has incorporated it into their site at: search.twitter.com/. That is now the best place to run your searches for keywords with or without hashes.

Here are some ways to get the best use out of your Twitter hashtags.

Tip 1. Follow Twitter.com/hashtags and they’ll automatically follow you back and start tracking your hashtags for you.

Tip 2. As you will want to use hash tags to promote your website posts, make sure the word or phrase you use is unique to you. Go to http://hashtags.org/ to see if you’re preferred hashtag is already being used for other posts.

Tip 3. 140 characters is not a lot to play around with so keep your hashtags as short as you can.

Tip 4. Google lists Twitter tweets, so it makes sense to use relevant keywords as your hashtags, particularly if your message features a link back to your internet site or web log.

In Conclusion, a note of caution. Use #hashtags with discretion when you tweet. Don’t alienate your readership by peppering every tweet with multiple hashes. Not everybody likes them and some individuals have developed a strong antipathy to them, while others who claim to hate them use them in their “I hate #hashtags” tweets!

In short, try to avoid using more than one hashtag per post. As long as you use them with circumspection, you will find hashtags a useful tool when networking with Twitter.

You are credited for a commission by sending traffic to a specialized version of the sales page, known in Clickbank parlance as a hoplink. Your hoplink is unique to your account, guaranteeing that you’ll receive all payments due to you.
