Blogging – Ten sites you need to know

Now that you are part of the blogging phenomenon that has spread all around the world, or you simply aspire to learn something about the online community, there is plenty of assistance you can find online to help you optimize your own blog the best way you want. 

 

For instance, a host giant like www.xanga.com provides a great chance to start a blog on your own; it is a good opportunity for anyone interested in joining a world-wide community that shares pictures, videos, thoughts and points of view. Furthermore, you’ll also get precious information from many domains.

 

Another such great host site is www.myspace.com where you may register your blog under a variety of categories depending on the theme and topic. There is a wide selection of users and definitely good quality traffic if you make the blog worth visiting.

 

For those who want to make some money with their blogs, by advertising, I strongly recommend www.adsense.com, a Google-joint program that enables bloggers to make a really good income. How come? On this site you closely follow all the necessary steps to choose the ads (both images and text) that best match your blog content.

 

Blogging takes time and effort, and you can definitely avoid some mistakes other pros warn against by permanently inquiring on new stratagems to use with Adsense; after all you have to make as much money as you can. Hence, http://www.marketingquickiesv2.com/adsense-adwords-marketing.html is a site that should teach you something.

 

You should also need to subscribe to one of the many sites that provide blog lists so that you may be more easily found by interested users. http://www.blogcatalog.com/ is a good choice to promote your blog and create traffic.

 

In the same listing categories we have to mention the giant https://ecom.yahoo.com/dir/submit/intro/ that is one comprehensive directory where you’ll definitely want to have your blog subscribed. The problem here is it costs $299 per year to register. If this is a business blog it may be well worth the expense. 

 

Need inspiration on what to blog on then look on further than www.google.com/trends. We should also point out to a “blog on blogs” that is definitely worth visiting given the large amount of information on the topic: http://www.problogger.net/. For someone who is just learning the rules of the game, there is much to find out here!

 

You may want to learn more about your the website by having a look at: http://website.grader.com/ . They give F-ree web analysis report to improve your page ranking in the search engines.

 

Last but not least, there are all sorts of professional sites that can help you with the tools you actually need for blogging. Here I refer to http://asymptomatic.net/blogbreakdown.htm and other similar pages that may guide and assist you in the attempt to find the software that best matches your blog.

Good luck!

Top 3 Secret Psychological Triggers to use in article titles to attract traffic

I will probably get into big trouble for letting the cat out of the bag in sharing these secrets.

       In my opinion writing articles for ezines such as www.EzineArticles.com and leaving your blog url. in the resource box is one of the greatest ways to attract traffic and quality back links to your site. To create compelling article titles you need to use the AEDB formula that incorporate psychological triggers……

The internet surfers of the infosphere want fast and instant access to coercing data. They are constantly scanning for something to click on, you have less than 3 seconds in which to grab their attention. For this reason your article title is “king” and so need to understand and incorporate the psychological triggers that follow.

The AEDB formula.  (A= attention, E= emotion, D= desire, B= benefit)

1. Attention.

To get instant attention, the psychological trigger would be to be up front with words that either, question, shock, or are controversial, cause curiosity (what killed the cat? get your audience thinking), exciting and shows enthusiasm or tease. Use bold words and odd numbers, ” now what could the top 3 be? ” or even ” The top 10 “. From time to time try to off balance your audience by being controversial like, ” 7 ways to get your Pit bull and cat to become best friends”

2. Emotion and Desire. Powerful driving forces, so use words to match.

Warning! the 7 biggest article title mistakes you can’t afford to make… Emotions such as fear, desire, greed, compassion, revulsion, hate, love can be generated using carefully selected powerful words.

3. Benefit your reader.

You need to understand what the searcher wants and then figure out a title to match their needs. Article writers biggest need is to get a audience or traffic to that article, so after deciding where to place it, the greatest hurdle is getting attention by delivering:

 a solution,

solve or cure a problem,

find fulfilment, in the quickest, cheapest, leased painful way. Tell them ” What’s in it for them “. Tell them what they will get.

Give handy, useful, tips, lists, reasons or psychological triggers for reading your article and so attract traffic. These are article writers secret weapons that they don’t want you to know about. Use them with care in creating your titles in future.
