Newbies How to build your own blog website

Ok, so you have decided on a niche to blog on, set up a Word Press, or a Blogging account, researched your niche and started blogging using all the tips given in previous posts of this Blog.

Great…. You have found products to promote, found ways to commercialise and capitalise your blog. Now how do you find and bring visitors to your on line web site?

Other than creating interesting and relevant content, using key word rich text, the next most important topic to cover is getting BACK LINKS to your blog.

Back links:

These can be created in a number of ways. Signing up with various Forums in your niche, leaving quality comments on similar blogs ranking high in Google search results, writing articles on your subject matter, to post on various Ezine publishers such as Ezine Articles.com, and always leave your blog URL and key words to link back to your site. You want your URL on other sites but not in a way to cause spam. This is the basic HTML code that you can use on most sites to get an active back link.

<a href=”http://www.domain.com”>www.yourdomain.com</a>   will become www.yourdomain.com

You can write anything where it says www.yourdomain.com such as click here or your keyword subject title.

All this is to get the search engines coming to your site. The more relevant these sites to your niche that you link to, the better.

Another way is to set up another 4 to 5 sub niche blogs related to your MAIN NICHE. As an example: Main blog is called:” Christine’s Golden Labrador Breeding Program”. Now create other blogs around it, like “How to raise your Golden Labrador puppies the correct way” and ” Where to Finding Suitable registered Golden Labrador Males to breed with” ect.

Once you have set up and created unique content for these sub niche’s, create cross links (Back Links) as above to all these sites. The search engines will soon be crawling all over these sites bringing visitors interested in your niche. This is some hard work, but well worth it. Stay focused on this, get it right and all you have to do is keep adding fresh material to keep it interesting.

Stay tuned for more newbie blogging strategies to grow your on line business.

 Niche Blogging.

First off. Do not blog on a general topic like dogs, be more specific like “Christina’s Golden Labrador Breeding Program”.

This would be your “Niche title” or Blog title. It will be what you will be writing about in your main blog in which your expertise will be freely shared with people that will be searching for that information. Give good honest content that will be sought after by your visitors, be generous.

There are millions of websites out there with millions (and growing daily) of web searches made on a multitude of topics. The more specific you make your blog title the less competition you will have. Do not however make it so obscure that no one would be looking for it, i.e. no traffic coming to your site.

You also need to find a niche that can prove profitable. Can you solve a problem, help, give advice, facilitate in your niche? Would your visitors would be willing to pay for this service, knowledge or expertise.  People are passionate about their pets and are willing to spend in this area (even in a recession).

Use the media to get ideas on what to blog on. The Obama’s would like a family dog once they have settled in the White House. Now there is much media speculation on what breed of dog they will choose. A lot of website blogs are now coming up with ideas on what it would say about the Obama’s on their choice of a dog breed.

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record their thoughts and lives, while the select few use them as a free way to make a fortune, even for Newbies.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 3.0 system comes into play.

Rob Benwell, who is Rob?

For those who don’t know, here is his story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques. He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing their age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 3.0 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 teaches you, Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

 5 reasons to write articles to promote your blog.

From Overture, Word Tracker or Google keyword tool, (keyword suggestion tools), you will see the millions of searches done to a certain keyword. When these keywords are typed on search boxes of search engines, indexed websites containing articles with those keywords will be displayed. And this is what leads traffic to websites with keyword-rich articles. Yes, the magic word is articles.

Content is king. You can say that again. That is why writing articles is one of the most utilized Internet marketing media today. Internet surfers just can’t get enough of information on various fields. Providing information through these articles is a sure-fire way to drive hot traffic to your web site or blog.

Why is this so? Here are the 5 benefits that writing articles can give your Internet business.

Submit your articles to  http://ezinearticles.com   www.goarticles.com    www.e-topic.com     www.articlealley.com  http://www.dropjack.com  and other article publishing sites to promote your blog.

1. It’s absolutely free.

Too good to be true? Not. Okay, you have to pay for your Internet Service Provider. That’s it. All you need is your thoughts, your computer, and your hands. If you have those, nothing will stop you from typing words that will make you complete that article for your website. On which aspect of that process did you really shell out any cent?

2. Your website will be noticed in a short period of time.

Submit that article of yours to article directories that get the most web traffic and in no time your web site will be crawled. That is if you don’t forget including your resource box or by-line.

3. Obtain back links automatically.

When you submit your articles to directories, surely, other websites will make use of your article too. With the copyright terms of your articles, the URL of your website will still be in tact and will subsequently direct more traffic to your website.

4. Improve your reputation.

As an Internet marketer, if you plainly display your products on your website, you will not gain much conversion rate. Conversion is when your traffic converts to sales. You have to show that you are knowledgeable on your field. And what better way to show that than by writing articles that will allow you some bragging rights, right?

5. Promoting your name and URL as unique, builds familiarity and cause interest in further articles. This will credit you as an expert in your field.

Just make your creative juices flow and jot down or key in those ideas quickly to jumpstart your article writing momentum. With those benefits listed above, a writer’s block is the last problem you will ever be able to surmount. Go on…. promote your blog through submitting articles.
