Would Google plus help your blog?

If you are also going to blog about Google plus, never write as Google +.

How bloggers can make use of Google plus to attract more targeted visitors? This question is widely raised in the Internet marketing forums and as expected, answers are diverse. Though the number indicates that there are already 10 million Google plus users, I feel it would take a long time to make the Facebook loyalists to betray Facebook.

Here are some answers that I gathered from various places in the web:

* Google allows to place links to your blogs. This means you can also link to your digital foot print.
* Sharing of information is allowed like any other social networking sites.
* I find it easy to add friends and people with similar interests.

Due to lack of patience, I give below a link to a blog post that has pointed several features of Google plus.

It will help you to grasp the full potential of Google plus.

Travel guest bloggers invited.

Getting fresh and unique visitors to your blog is not a rocket science. If you write what people are looking for, then, you are sure to achieve your goals even if you don't write as well as an English blogger.

Of all the blog traffic generating ways, I believe guest blogging is the most productive one. Your guest blog post on related blogs of your niche will get you new visitors. Once they read your blog post, then, your content should take over to retain them and convert them as regular readers.

I intend to write a series blog posts on guest blogging, a review of blogs that invite guest bloggers and link to such blogs.

Guest Bloggers invited by a Travel Blog.

I know many travel bloggers who are passionate about writing their world travel experiences. If you are a travel bloggers, then, please visit www.afilipinadollblogger.blogspot.com

Quick Tip:
In order for your travel blog post to attract lots of visitors, include a stunning photo.

Trackbacks-where have they gone?

Do you remember how bloggers were urged to use trackbacks a few years ago? Every famous blogger, every SEO professional took time to emphasize the utility of the trackbacks in blogosphere.

Bloggers made use of the trackbacks to know who links back to their blog posts and genuinely reciprocated by linking back to other bloggers. This resulted in targeted traffic to the bloggers.

Of late, I find bloggers are becoming selfish and not reciprocating inbound links. Either they are too busy or simply not bothered about who mentions their blog posts in their blogs.

I have been linking to all the blog posts that I mention in this blog but I don't see any improvements in my blog's inbound links.

Do you have any comments on the subject?

Why targetted blogging is difficult?

Even after 5 years of blogging, I find I am still learning the nuances of targeted blogging. Thus far, I have been blogging what comes naturally to me without seriously looking into the aspects of inserting frequently searched keywords.

Every time, I come across profitable keywords, I note them down only to use them in my next blog post but always forgetting to incorporate.

I find I am even lagging behind blog promotion that I was actively involved a year ago. I think I am getting contended with the money I get for doing blogging assignments as a ghost blogger.

So what I planned to do to attract targeted traffic?
I intend to convert keyword rich PLR articles into unique blog posts without disturbing the keyword density. I tried it several times earlier but my natural blogging interfered always.

I have already identified several bloggers who boast of over 2000 email subscribers to their blogs' RSS feed. They are my inspiration. I planned to use their blogs' topic in my blogs.

What do you say? Will it work?

How to increase blog traffic in simple ways?

One of my friend has been desperate to increase his blog readership and another friend of mine got Google PR4 without doing any Internet marketing at all! How did this happen?

Hey, I know Google PR doesn't mean big traffic. It also didn't mean that second friend's blog as no traffic.

So, how to increase blog traffic simply?

* I have learnt that the topic of the blog decides the traffic. There is really no point in blogging about a subject that has no search volume at all.

* Participate in revenue sharing sites where you get instant readers o your post.

* Submit to RSS feed directories.

* Use Facebook effectively

* Use Zemanta as your main blogging tool.

* Use Google groups to increase visitors.

* If you can write a press release, it will be a great traffic puller.

Try all these one by one and you will certainly see results.

How to build loyal readership?

How frequently you check your email daily? I check my email more than 10 times a day.This has proved to be beneficial for me as I am able to spot the current hot topic in the world of Internet.

I have subscribed to so many RSS feeds, set up several Google Alerts that inform me what is being talked about by a majority of people and what is being searched by thousand of people all over the world.

I am able to pick up a very hot topic almost instantly as it is known to the rest of the world. I quickly blog about it or weave an article. The articles thus I wrote have fetched me a decent number of visitors.

Over the years, I have thus developed an image as an internet writer and built my loyal readership.

You can also do this!

Wonderful analysis of your blog's performance.

Every blogger who are committed to their blogs would like to know how their blogs are received in the blogosphere and who reads them.

They also would like to know:
* Who is linking to their blog posts
* The number of page views
* In how many social bookmarking sites their blog appears
* How many comments were received for their blog posts

Google Analytics produces some performance data but it is not always sufficient to know all the above information.

I read that analytics.postrank.com/ gives you these important analyses. It also gives your blogs a score of engagement. That will definitely be an useful guidance to improve our blog promotion effort.

Free traffic site for bloggers.

Right now, I am experimenting with a new website that is said to increase blog traffic free of cost. In fact, we can earn money to use that web site.

Yes, I have seen some negligible amount against my name but I am satisfied with the numberof visits my blog got so far.

I have asked some questions to the site's support staff and I have been receiving polite replies promptly.

The reason I am not mentioning the site name here is, I am still not very clear about the user interface. I hope to understand it in a day or two.

Tomorrow, I will be attending the mega event of Chennai Bloggers Meet organized by indiblogger.in I will look into the free traffic site again on Sunday and get back here with my experience.

Please stay tuned to this blog post.

Generate Fast and Easy Misspellings of All Your Keywords

“Uncover Thousands Of Profitable Misspelled Keywords Instantly To Drive Tons Of Qualified Visitors To Your Websites!”


Xtreme Typo Generator is a freeware software utility allows generating the keywords which are intentionally mistyped or misspelled.

Xtreme Typo Generator

But, why use misspelled keywords?
If using mistype keywords does not make sense to you, then you have to reorient yourself and look at the issue from the different perspective. In fact, misspelled or typo keywords are as useful as those which are correctly spelled or typed. Many internet users mistype or misspell words or phrases in their search boxes. An SEO-smart website must also meet this fact and adjust to this reality.

About 20% of all searches contain keyword misspellings, and there are those which are more common. Webmasters can take advantage of these misspellings to use in his or her own website by adding them to the website’s keyword list. Having these misspelled keywords would actually raise the traffic and popularity of the website.

Allowing the misspelled words in the body of the article does not look too professional, but using misspelled keywords for labels and categories assignment does not harm the site, especially, if the list of the keywords is hidden.

Thinking of thousands of keyword combinations can be very time consuming and very draining. Double the effort and time, and you can probably make a short list of all the possible and common keywords in typo mistakes. That is why a tool like the Xtreme Typo Generator becomes essential.

What can Xtreme Typo Generator do for you?

• Create a list of thousands of misspelled keywords in just a few clicks.
• Up to 6 options for you to choose from on how to you want the keywords to be misspelled.
• Add your own keyword list in the software for more flexibility.
• Export in TXT file for easy reference later.
• Adwords keyword wrapper feature to easily prepare your Adword campaign.
• Organize keywords in broad, exact, phrase, lowercase and negative case.
• Saves you a ton of time, effort and spare you from spending thousands of dollars in competing for expensive keywords in the search engines.
• and much more…

* Click on 'Settings' tab you will find on the next screen.
* Click on "Other Services" that appear besides "You can automatically import activity from YouTube......
* Click on "Blog/RSS" and submit your blog's home page URL and that's it.

When you publish your post again in your blog, you will a snippet of your blog post. When Facebook members visit your profile, they will be able to see your blog posts as snippets.

Quickly build readership to your blog.

How to increase marketing conversion rate?

Every blogger is striving hard to promote his blog to get more and more visitors daily. I am tapping several blog marketing resources like actively participating in bloggers forum and blogging communities.

I also do social bookmarkings and outsource blog directory submissions. But I don’t get the desired results due to low conversion rate. When I hired a SEO specialist for just one hour, he reported that my advertising efforts are not enough to get a better response conversion rate.

In order to get a higher conversion rate optimization, the SEO person suggested a series of steps o be taken immediately else I will lose even the current blog traffic though I blog about useful matter to Bloggers.

I realized what I should do to achieve a higher conversion rate of up to 100% if not 900%.

10 powerful ways for blog traffic.

I am sure you might have read a blog post with the same title as here at least a dozen times and like most bloggers never bothered to read it again and try to implement one of the ways in your blog.

Well, never mind. The effort from serious bloggers goes on and similarly the 'no effort' from serious bloggers also goes on.

Here is the third point:

"Sell Things via Your Blog

With that said, you want to provide them with the opportunity to buy something while reading your blog, whether it be your own items or ones provided by outside companies through affiliate programs and pay per click programs."

What do say about this? I think it is worthwhile to implement it. Say, why not join Amazon affiliate program and include a link to any of the blogging world products?

Well, I did so and below is a product that many will be interested.

The reason for blog traffic drop.

* So, the oil price is galloping towards $150 per barrel.
* Petrol bunks are shutting down.
* Freighters are off the road

New blog promotion idea!

Never ignore these headlines. You don't know what is in store. If you keep an open mind, you may find something worthwhile. This post itself is a proof of it.

Blog Reporter is a social website meant for all of us to report blog posts that interest us. You can use it like any bookmarking website and post blog teasers. (it is my term )

Just register for free and start using the site. And don't be selfish by posting your own blog post and exit. View others' posts and vote for them. And it need not always be a vote of excellence.

Remember Blog Engage? Well, Blog Reporter is a similar website that we can use for blog promotion. If your blog post receives more number of votes, it is moved to their front page. Once that happens, your blog will get a fresh bunch of visitors.
