Steps To Proper Blogging After Google’s Over-Optimization Penalty

April 26, 2012 By 10 Comments

Steps To Proper Blogging After Google’s Over-Optimization Penalty

As you probably already know, the Over-Optimization penalty was introduced the other day. If you are like me and most of the internet, then you felt the impact of the penalty. Just to give you an idea Google’s, Matt Cutts said that this would effect roughly 3.1% of all English sites but from reading other blogs, forums and even getting emails I am convinced that this effected much more than that.

Now, Google is not going to come out and say they are going back to the pre over-optimization days, so we all need to get ready to change our sites and do things the Google way. Below, you will see a video that outlines what you should do first in order to get your site ranking again in Google’s search engine. It is highly recommended that you start there and then follow the steps below in order to blog the way that Google wants you to blog.

Steps To Proper Blogging

Write Quality And Unique Content

If you are not already doing this, then you need to start right now. The benefit of writing quality and unique content is that you will not be able to get more natural links and that is what Google wants. What you need to remember is that we are all playing Google’s game now and you have to follow their rules. Google loves quality and unique content and now, so should you.

Create A Community

Do you participate in Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and all the other community driven sites? If not, then now is the time to start. We all know that social media will be the future of the internet and Google is smart enough to consider that in their rankings. Whether they go by Twitter followers or Facebook interaction isn’t sure yet, but what is sure is that they love social interaction.

Build Quality Links

Google has always stated that they rank quality over quality and that is a for sure thing now. Instead of creating hundreds of article links or blog comments, create one web 2.0 article and link to that. Doing this will take the risk away from your website yet you will get all the benefits from it. I know this sounds a little strange but creating one PR2 link on a web 2.0 property is much more valuable than 50 PR0 links pointing directly to your site.

Blogging after this most recent Google update will be different but that doesn’t mean you won’t make it through. Just stick to what Google has told us already and make sure your site is compliant with Google’s best blogging practices.

Some advertising companies also advertise other’s products to expand business connections and to extract more chances to build a stronger relation with the customer.

Social media has taken many routes as people like to be aware of what is happening in their surrounding, what is in and what is not, to carry on a social conversation. This human nature is very favourable for social media techniques as all the strategies are based on it.

Best Way To Get Social Media Love

March 12, 2012 By 11 Comments

Best Way To Get Social Media Love

Did you know that there are bloggers out there that are getting 1,000, 2,500 and even 5,000 visitors per day just from social media? Although, this doesn’t happen to every blogger, there are still a bunch of people out there that get this kind of traffic.

What does it take to get this kind of social media love?

The first thing that you need to know is that social media is as much about connections as anything. The reason I say this is because you need a following in order to get hundreds or thousands of visitors to your blog in a single day.

Ways To Get Social Media Love

Stay Connected

One thing that you need to do in order to get the social media love that you want is to stay connected. By this I simply mean that you need to share other bloggers content, link to other people and just do everything that you can to connect yourself and your blog to other people. If you can do this, then other bloggers will reciprocate this behavior and that is where you will start to see traffic coming from social media sites.

Write About Other Bloggers

Do you ever write about other bloggers and then link to their website? If you don’t, then you should start doing that. The reason for this is to show other bloggers that you are following them and that you like what they have to say. If you keep this up, then the other bloggers will see that your site is sending them some traffic and therefore they will most likely share some of your posts or link back to your site. Just know that when you write about other bloggers they will quickly appreciate you for it.

Become A Fan Of Other Blogs

How often do you read other blogs? Are you spending at least 15 minutes every day looking for some great content online? If you want to get on the radar of other bloggers, then you need to be commenting on their blogs, submitting guest posts, liking them on Facebook, following them on Twitter and joining them on Google+. As long as you are a fan of the other blogs out there and show them how much you are a fan, they will start to do the same thing. Just remember, the more bloggers you are friends with the better off you will be.

Get Personal With Bloggers

Do you share stories with other bloggers? Are you talking about other bloggers and how they effected you and your blog? If not, then that would be something you might consider. Something that many people don’t do enough of is thank the bloggers that they learned things from. This is something that I plan on doing more of in the future since I am thankful for all the people that have helped me along the way.

Advice: One way to get personal is to send a heartfelt email to a blogger that has impacted you and let them know what they have done to help you. I would recommend doing this after you write about them and link to their site, doing this might get them to comment on that post or even link back to it from their site.

As you can see, there is not a lot to it. As long as you follow the things that I just outlined, then you should have no problem getting hundreds of visitors to your site every once in a while. Just keep this up and you will be very happy that you did.

Wait, before you go I have one last tip for you.

Tip: Write every post as if you are trying to get it to go viral. If you can do this, then that means that each post you write will be filled with lots of good information and therefore people will gladly share your content with others.

Traffic Generation Day Three – Socials Networks

March 7, 2012 By 11 Comments

Traffic Generation Day Three - Socials Networks

Ok, so how did the last couple of days go for you? Did you get a guest post done and send an email to your subscribers?

Hopefully you did but if not then you have some work to make up. Just to recap where we are right now, I showed you how to build backlinks to rank higher in the search engines. I told you why you should use email marketing and guest posts to help get more traffic and today I am going to talk about 2 traffic generation methods that are actually really fun. When most people think about getting traffic, they think it is a lot of work when in reality, it is not.

So what are the fun traffic generation methods that I am talking about? The two methods are social networking and social bookmarking. Both of these methods will get you more traffic and they are very easy to use.

Social Networking

Social networking is sites like Facebook and Twitter. There are more social networking sites but in my experience these are the only 2 that you really need. With social networking you are given a platform to actually communicate or network with other people and that is how you get more traffic.

Facebook

I am sure you have used Facebook by now, right? Facebook is great for social networking and the reason is because there are almost a billion people that use it. With Facebook all you need to do is establish yourself or your website and then interact with your following. Most people think that it is tough to get traffic from Facebook but it really isn’t. Being that most people that use Facebook are there for fun, they will click on almost anything.

If you want to get the most traffic with Facebook all you need to do is get more fans or friends. The reason I say this is because people will click on what their friends or fans post and because of that it is very easy to get traffic.

Twitter

Using Twitter is a great way to get more traffic and the reason is because it is so easy to get followers. With Twitter you need more people to follow you in order to get more traffic and exposure and because of the fact that most people will follow people that follow them, Twitter is very easy to manipulate. Think about it, all you have to do is follow more people in order to get more followers. How simple does that sound?

Since most people know about Facebook and Twitter, I am not going to spend a lot of time talking about them. What you need to understand is that social networking and social bookmarking don’t take a lot of work to get traffic from. Trust me, if you want to get traffic from either one you just need to be consistent.

Social Bookmarking

Since there is not a lot that you need to know about social bookmarking I will not spend a lot of time with it but I will give you a couple tips that you should always remember. What most people don’t realize is that social bookmarking is done more by your readers than by you. The reason for this is because there are a lot of social networks and you probably just don’t have the time to bookmark every single page or blog post that you create.

Digg

Digg is a very easy social bookmarking site to use. The best way to get more traffic via Digg is to simply add more friends to your friends list. The reason you do this is because most people that you add as a friend will add you right back and the reason you need friends is because every time you submit a URL all your friends will see it.

Stumbleupon

Stumbleupon is a site that many people know about but don’t use. Stumbleupon probably gets the most traffic out of all the social bookmarking sites and the reason is because it is one of the biggest and oldest bookmarking sites on the internet. If you have a website then what I highly recommend is that you add bookmarking buttons to your site. The reason you do this is because like I said before, your readers will do more regarding social bookmarking than you will do yourself.

Now, for today and tomorrow I want you to get on Facebook and Twitter and start to be more active. Not only that but go and get more fans and followers. And as far as social bookmarking is concerned, you need to ask people to Stumble or Digg your articles so that other people can see them too.

That is all for today but remember that there are still 2 more emails you will be getting to complete my traffic generation techniques. Just be watching for the next email because this is one traffic generation technique that I really love.

Blog Monetization – When Should I Start

January 29, 2012 By 3 Comments

Blog Monetization – When Should I Start

When it comes to monetization there are a lot of things that you should know. Being that most people use Google Adsense to start making money online, it is a good idea to know when the best time to place Ads on your blog would be.

If you are creating a niche site, then I would place Adsense ads on the site right when the site goes live. For personal blogs, such as this one you should do things differently. With a personal blog you have to worry about your readers and their preference before you even think about making money with your blog.

So when is the best time to monetize a blog?

When you have 50 blog posts

If you have more than 50 blog posts live on your blog, then it is about time that you put some ads on it. The reason why you should wait until you have more than 50 blog posts is because you don’t want your blog to look empty when you add advertisements to it. A lot of people do this and readers don’t like this.

4 months after going live

Another time to place ads on your blog is after four months of going live. The reason why I highly recommend waiting at least 4 months is because by then you should have at least a small following and you should have enough blog posts to fill up your site. Some bloggers out there will recommend only waiting 3 months but I have found that after 3 months you are still not where you want to be with traffic and if the traffic isn’t there then there is no point to place ads on the site just yet.

100 unique visitors per day

When you get 100 unique visitors to your blog every day then that is a great time to place ads on your site. The reason I say this is because 100 unique visitors will mean that you should make some money from Google Adsense every day. Not only that but 100 unique visitors is where most blogs will stay for the remainder of their existence so if you don’t place ads on your site now, then you may not ever do it.

100 email subscribers

Do you have 100 email subscribers yet? If you have more than 100 email subscribers, then it is time to monetize your blog. With 100 email subscribers you should be able to send out an email and get at least 20 of those subscribers to come to your blog. This is a benchmark that I use because email subscribers are much more reliable than general traffic you get from the search engines or social media.

1000 cumulative fans/followers on Facebook and Twitter

The last thing that I would recommend is to go by your fans/followers on Facebook and Twitter. The reason I recommend going off of these is because getting a decent following on both of these sites could mean residual traffic month after month. With social media being the new hotspot for traffic you can’t ignore what you have. If your new blog doesn’t meet any of the requirements above but you do have more than 1000 cumulative fans/followers on Facebook and Twitter, then it is a good time to monetize your blog. Just remember, these have to be actual blog readers, not just a bunch of your friends.

When it comes to monetization you need think about the following you have as opposed to the money you could be making. The problem that most new blogs have is they try way too hard to earn money online. If you want to have a successful blog, then you will need to prove to your readers that you care about them more than you do your own wellbeing.

How To Market Your New Product

January 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment

How To Market Your New Product

Did you just create a new E-book or software? A lot of people are creating new E-books but the biggest problem they have is they don’t know how to market it. What you need to understand is that if you don’t know how to market your new product, then there really is no point to even make it.

Something that I would highly recommend is before you ever create a product you should first come up with the marketing plan for it. This is something that most people don’t do and that is why they have trouble selling the product that they just spent weeks or even months on. Trust me, you will be better off creating a marketing plan than putting another hour or two into the product itself. When you create a product you can always give updates to it, with your marketing strategy you can’t do this.

How To Market A Product

Facebook Ads

The very first thing that I will do to market my product is to use Facebook ads. The reason I would use Facebook ads before anything else is because they are easy to track, they are cheap, you can customize everything that you need and best of all Facebook has almost a billion people on the site. Did you know that there are almost 500 million people on Facebook each day? This is a huge number and if you can market your product to even a small fraction of that number, then you will be doing really well. Marketing a product will take time but with Facebook that time is cut in thirds because of how much traffic they get.

Twitter Updates

If you have a Twitter account, then you are hopefully doing updates on a daily basis. The nice thing about Twitter is that you can give a little introduction to your product and then a link pointing your following to it. A lot of people use Twitter for the wrong reasons but if you do things right, then you will see some traffic and hopefully sale from it. Just remember that not everybody has a Twitter account and most people don’t use it on a daily basis so you will have to send a few updates at different times to ensure that all your followers see your update.

Emails

Do you have an email list? Do you have a bunch of friends that might like what you have to offer? The best part about emails is that you can send an email to your list as many times as you need to in order for them to see it. What most people don’t realize is that sending somebody an email will be much better than getting them to show up on a site all the sudden because with an email they will know who you are and what you have to offer before even opening it up. This is why using emails is a great way to market a product.

Guest Posts

Another thing that you need to do in order to market your new product is to get other people to know about it and the best way to do this is through guest posts. The nice thing about doing a guest post is that you don’t have to worry about promoting to the same people over and over again. With a guest post you will be promoting your product to people that you don’t know and who probably don’t know you. Doing a guest post is also a great way to show that you are an expert in your field and this will make it a lot easier to sell something to somebody you don’t even know.

Blog

The last thing that I would do to market your new product is to use your personal blog. If you don’t have a personal blog, then it is time that you get one. The best part about using a personal blog to get more sales is that you will probably already have a following and that means that you will be able to turn your following into money. Trust me, using your own blog to promote your new product may seem like too much but your readers want to know about what you have been doing too.

Another thing that you can do if you have a really good product is to enlist the help of affiliates. This is something that is a great source for marketing later on but for right now you should stick to the methods above. Just know that in order to make any money from the product that you just create you will have to market it somehow. My advice is to make sure you are using every marketing technique that you can in order to make the most money in the shortest amount of time.

Reasons Why You Keep Losing Twitter Followers

January 24, 2012 By 16 Comments

Reasons Why You Keep Losing Twitter Followers

Are you tired of losing more and more Twitter followers every day? You don’t have to lose them but it will require you to change what you are doing. What most people don’t realize is the reason they are losing Twitter followers is because they are the ones doing something wrong. I know you don’t want to believe it but this is a common thing that Twitter users do and unless you figure out what you are doing wrong you will keep losing the followers that you have.

Reasons You Are Losing Followers

Too Many Tweets

How many Tweets to you do every day? Are you doing too many that your followers are getting tired of seeing your updates? A lot of people Tweet too many times but if you are Tweeting things that people like, then keep doing it. Just know that some people would prefer to see fewer Tweets so make sure you figure out what your followers like the most.

Repeat Following

Do you follow and then unfollow a lot of people on a daily basis? It might be a bad idea to follow hundreds of people in a single day and that is why a lot of people will stop following you. Although this is a great way to get more followers, your actual followers might not like it. Just know that it would be better to get your followers the right way as opposed to using the system to get as many followers as you can.

No Profile

Do you have a profile on your Twitter account? If you are not using your profile to actually say what you talk about, then people will start to unfollow you. The problem that I see quite a bit is that Twitter users will add a profile that doesn’t even represent what they will be Tweeting. Just do yourself and your followers a favor and create a Twitter profile that shows what you will be Tweeting.

Affiliate Links

How many affiliate links do you post on your Twitter account? Do you add an affiliate link every few hours or do you place affiliate links every week or so? The amount of affiliate links that you Tweet will make a huge difference in the amount of people that follow you. My advice is to make sure that you are using affiliate links sparingly because this is one of the worst things that you can use in a Tweet.

Constant Replies

Are you constantly replying to Tweets other people do? Do you use hashtags whenever possible? These might be the reason for you losing your Twitter followers. The problem with putting @XXXX in your Tweet is that most people won’t know what you are talking about, this goes for hashtags too. If you want to keep the following that you have, then you need to use replies and hashtags sparingly. Trust me on this one, this is a common reason people will unfollow you. I know this for a fact because this is one of the reasons I will unfollow people as well. Most people don’t like to see a bunch of gibberish so make sure that whatever you are writing will make sense to everybody that is reading it.

Being that Twitter is a great way to get more traffic to your website you need to use it but make sure you are aware of what you are doing. I know that there is a lot of stuff that you are worried about right now but Twitter should not be one of them.

Get Visitors To Your Old Posts

January 23, 2012 By 6 Comments

Get Visitors To Your Old Posts
How many blog posts do you have on your site? If you have hundreds of posts like I do, then you are not getting visitors to all of those posts and this is a real shame. If you find it tough to get visitors to your old posts, then don’t worry because I have a few tricks to get more visitors to your posts without actually building backlinks to them and pushing them up the search engines.

Should you build backlinks to old posts? Yes, this would be the ideal thing to do but if you don’t have the time then there are other things that will work just as well. My advice would be to use BuildMyRank to do this because all you have to do is write a few short articles and then add a link to an older post. Anyway, lets get started with how you can get visitors to your old blog posts.

Repost Your Most Popular Posts

Do you have certain posts that continue to get more and more traffic each month? This is common with a lot of blogs because every once in a while you will write something called a “Pillar post” and these always work to get more backlinks which in turn get more traffic. Am I saying that you need to write more pillar posts? Well, you can but this is something that most people are not capable of doing because these posts require a lot of time and expertise in a lot of fields.

The great thing about reposting your most popular posts is that you can use this time to update that post and add anything new that may not be in it. A lot of bloggers don’t realize that they can do this but if you have a post that people like, then you know they won’t mind getting more out of it sometime in the future. Just make it known that you are reposting an article and there is more content inside because sometimes readers will click off your site the second they see a post they have already read.

Note: If you repost an article make sure you don’t change the URL of it or else you will lose all the links to that older article and the traffic might not be there anymore.

Use Related Post Plugins

There are a lot of related posts plugins that you can use with WordPress so why not use them. This is something that many people do but often times they are not using the plugin the right way. If you are going to be using related post plugins, then you need to make sure that it stands out. I know you may not know much about html or coding and if that is the case, then find somebody that does. Trust me, using a related post plugin that stands out will really make it worth your while.

Share Your Old Posts

Do you have a Facebook or Twitter account? If you don’t, then it is about time that you get them both. If you do have a Facebook and Twitter account, then I would recommend sharing some of your older posts every once in a while. If you are follow PLRInternetMarketing.com on Twitter, then you know I already do this and that is why I get a lot of traffic to some of my older posts. Just know that the more posts you have the more links you will be able to share.

Do you have an email list? If you have a decent sized email list, then maybe they want to see what you have to offer them. A lot of times the people that read your posts are the people that are on your email list so send them an email filled with some of your most visited blog posts of the past few months. I know this might seem weird but it really does work.

Top Ten Posts

Have you ever created or seen a top ten post? These are simply posts that compile a list of the top ten best posts of the month, year or whatever you decide. Sometimes these posts will be the top ten posts of a certain category. What you need to understand is that all that matters in this post is that you will get people to click through to some of your older posts. Being that this is not the type of post that you can create all the time, you should create a plan in order to do it.

There are a lot of things that you can do to get more visitors to your old post but the key is to stick to it. A lot of bloggers will say that they are going to do more to get traffic to their older posts but then they don’t do it. If you are going to try and get more traffic to your posts, then create a plan and see it through.

One other thing that I want to leave you with that isn’t a secret or anything is to just interlink to your older posts in your new articles. This is something that a lot of A-list bloggers do really well and if you can take a page out of their book, then I would recommend this to be it.

Get Your Blog To Stand Out

January 7, 2012 By 1 Comment

Get Your Blog To Stand Out

If you don’t get a lot of traffic to your blog, then it is time that you do something about it. Traffic is a big part of any blog but you can’t get traffic unless you put your blog out there. Giving people the option to view your blog or not is what you want to do but the key is to make your blog stand out.

So, how do you make your blog stand out?

There are several things that you can do to make your blog stand out. One of the things many people have done for years is search engine optimization (SEO). Although organic traffic is the best, it takes the longest to get.

Being that so many people struggle with standing out from the crowd and getting the traffic that they deserve, I have decided to give you a little secret that I use. There is actually 4 parts to make this happen. I am not going to go into detail about using SEO to get traffic and make your blog stand out because that is a given. What I am going to talk about is other ways to get traffic and set yourself apart from everybody else in your niche.

Get Your Blog To Stand Out

Twitter

If you are not following us on Twitter, then I highly recommend you do that now to see how we set ourselves apart from everybody else in the niche. Twitter is a great way to get your blog to stand out and the reason is because you can network with other people. Networking has been around for a long time but with Twitter it makes everything that much easier. All I am saying is that you need to use your Twitter account to take your blog to the next level.

Twitter is a great source for traffic but even without the traffic you can still establish yourself and your blog as an authority in your niche. No matter what you talk about on your blog, there will be people on Twitter that will follow you. Just put yourself out there like I have done and see for yourself.

Facebook

Just like Twitter, using Facebook is a great way to make your blog stand out. Again, if you are not following us on Facebook then I recommend you do that too. There is a lot of great information that you will find from some of our followers on Facebook and that is why I recommend it.

The best part about Facebook is that almost everybody in the world has an account. If you want to make yourself know as an expert in your niche, then using Facebook is a must. I am not saying you need to spend hours on Facebook each day but you do need to interact with your following and give them things they won’t find anywhere else. Trust me on this one, if you can stand out on Facebook then making your blog stand out will be no problem.

RSS Feeds & Email

Did you know that some people will check their email 10+ times per day? I know you may be wondering why this is relevant but just give me a second. The reason this statistic is relevant to you is because you can send your blogs RSS feed directly to their inbox. Not only that but you can also send your readers emails. RSS feeds and emails are a great way to set yourself apart from everybody else but most people don’t use them correctly.

In order to get your blog to stand out you need to increase your RSS subscribers as well as your email subscribers while at the same time giving people want they want to hear. Where most bloggers go wrong is they send out affiliate link after affiliate link without any good solid tips or advice on their subject matter. What I recommend is that for every affiliate link you send out that you write at least 3 good emails/blog posts. This is the number I would stick to if I were you and it will help you grow your blog into an authority in your niche.

Guest Posts

Guest posting is always a tough thing to do and the main reason is because most people don’t know what to write about. As a blogger you need to know your niche like the back of your hand. Not only do you need to know your niche, you need to know who you are targeting and why.

Depending on your niche, it might be tough to find a blog where you can write a guest post and that is why you need to use all of these methods to get your blog to stand out. What you need to remember is that you are the face of the blog and because of that you need to stand out in order for the blog to stand out. This is part of the reason why I highly recommend writing and submitting 1 guest post every week. I know that this number is not huge but it will get you started on the right track.

Now, if you have any questions about any of these things then just comment below and I will help you as much as I can. Just know that nobody is going to help you stand out from the crowd, you have to do all of that on your own.
