<br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-to-successfully-use-giveaways-to.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Promotions and giveaways are effective means to attract more visitors to your site</span></a>, and a way to give thanks to your loyal readers. Here are seven of the best tools that you can use for your next blog giveaway:</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;">1. Giveaway Tools</span><br /><br /> http://giveawaytools.com/<br /><br /> Tagged as the first entry form that automatically confirms entries, Giveaway Tools allows users to create an entry form which can be embedded on your website. Apart from the integration with social media tools, there is also an option to create a new way to enter a contest. However, since it is still in "closed alpha" mode, not everyone is familiar with Giveaway Tools' platform.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">2. Rafflecopter</span><br /><br /> http://rafflecopter.com<br /><br /> Rafflecopter is one of the most popular giveaway tools available. Coming up with a raffle is made through simple configuration. You can add "steps" that people will have to accomplish in order to qualify, such as liking a page on Facebook or tweeting something about the contest. Aside from the steps, you have to supply the duration of the contest and the announcement date of the winners. You can also indicate the prizes you're giving away in the widget.<br /><br /> The only downside to Rafflecopter is that it cannot automatically remove incomplete entries. This can be attributed to the fact that most of the steps are externally completed and is beyond Rafflecopter's control and scope. You can manually remove the incomplete entries before running the randomizer.<br /><br /> By the time you need to select a winner, all you have to do is to click a button, and Rafflecopter will randomize all the entries for you to generate the name of the winner.<br /><br /> All of those features mentioned above are available at no cost. However, should you want to customize the embedded widget, you will need to pay a fee. The paid version allows the user's branding to be displayed in the widget.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">3. PunchTab</span><br /><br /> http://punchtab.com<br /><br /> Similar to Rafflecopter is PunchTab, yet another giveaway tool that bloggers and webmasters can utilize. You can customize the entry methods as a step. The difference lies in the required fields which include entering the contest via email or Facebook.<br /><br /> Additional steps can also be added to make a giveaway a bit tougher -- attaching a file for download can also be one of the steps! The code is displayed after you have finished customizing your giveaway. To establish a wider audience, you can also link the widget to your Facebook account or obtain a widget for added promotion. What's more, you can even award badges to your loyal fans!<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">4. Wildfire</span><br /><br /> http://blog.wildfireapp.com/<br /><br /> Wildfire is one of the most powerful giveaway tools there is, but is comes at a premium, divided into four plans. Going beyond the usual features of a giveaway tool, Wildfire also integrates website promotion into the mix. Setting Wildfire apart from the widget-based giveaway tools mentioned earlier is its toolbar-like design that is displayed on the top of your blog. It opens up into a form when clicked, wherein users can indicate their details for the giveaway. The same form can also be pasted on Facebook for a wider reach.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">5. PromoSimple</span><br /><br /> http://promosimple.com<br /><br /> Another simple and user-friendly giveaway tool is PromoSimple. Aside from the usual details for entering a contest, PromoSimple can also require users to provide personal information, which you can use to analyze your demographics.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">6. Your social networking accounts</span><br /><br /> Sometimes, all you need is your social accounts to mount a giveaway. Come up with a tweet coupled with a hashtag and watch your brand become part of Twitter's trending topics. In Facebook, ask your fans to tag your official page and answer a question or two. You can then select the best entry randomly or based on creativity.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;">7. Your own site/blog</span><br /><br /> Another giveaway tool that makes use of manual filtering is by holding the contest in your own site or blog. One of the biggest advantages when it comes to using your own site is that you make your readers stay longer on your site because they are compelled to read the entire instructions set.<br /><br /> Make your giveaways successful and convenient with these giveaway tools online. Not only that you can make people happy with prizes, these giveaways can also help you discover more about your readers and how to keep them coming back to your site.</span></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04763326655516881672noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296329007802475295.post-1068032855020844552012-12-19T11:40:00.002-08:002012-12-19T11:40:33.584-08:00How to earn $ 100?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X6r-_kllPS8/UMh3noBFwhI/AAAAAAAADTg/XLRzRL79QLA/s1600/untitled.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X6r-_kllPS8/UMh3noBFwhI/AAAAAAAADTg/XLRzRL79QLA/s1600/untitled.JPG" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Picture the following: you have two plates of food in front of you, both containing cheeseburgers. One plate contains a large but rather greasy fast-food chain burger and a side of stale fries. The second contains a micro-burger: a small, pesto and truffle oil infused patty in a small brioche bun with a side of four thick cut appetizing Belgian fries and a small decorative carrot carving. Which one would you choose? <br /><br /> Odds are you said the latter (unless you were really, really hungry…). That’s because while <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/11/dollars-in-details-creating-quality.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">content is one of the most important things</span></a> to take into account when trying to attract traffic to your site and rank better it is not the most important thing. The design, layout and ease of use are far more important.<br /><br /> Think of it this way: you might have Pulitzer-worthy content on your page but if the layout is awkward or simply unappealing, very few people will actually make it to your content. Good can help you get potential customers or readers to your page but their efforts will be squandered if the customers just click back after taking a look at your site design.</span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: orange;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">The Age Of Skimming</span></span></strong></span></span><br />
<br /><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The age of use.net has come and gone a long time ago and studies have shown that modern Internet browsers actually read rather than skimming content in less than 20% of the cases. This means that if you don’t have some way of visually enticing and directing browsers to the content that you want them to see it’s not going to get seen at all. <br /><br /> A good example of blending good content and great design is MailChimp’s resources page. Many sites offer white papers and how to guides for download as part of their content but the way the mailing list website has organized its resources and the fact that they went the extra mile to create cool and attractive covers for each of their white papers and guides instantly makes visiting traffic linger on long enough to read the titles and possibly choose to download them. Imagine the same site with a bunch of bold script on white background PDFs.<br /><br /> Not as eye-catching, is it?</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: orange;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Outside Your Blog</span></span></strong></span></span><br />
<br /><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Design is important and you shouldn’t limit yourself to having an attractive webpage or blog. Your social media should be equally attractive to passers by. A custom, original background for your Twitter page, an eye-catching Facebook Timeline photo, these are all essential to get the most bang for your social media buck. After all, if someone took the time to check out your social media pages, odds are that they’ll take a look at your main page as well, particularly if you have a handy link.<br /><br /> Design matters. Regardless of your field, regardless of whether you run a commercial site or a blog, design matters. A good-looking site with average content with have more people browsing than a terrible looking site with great content. So re-vamp your site today !</span></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04763326655516881672noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296329007802475295.post-8213468840754222542012-12-10T04:25:00.000-08:002012-12-10T04:25:25.431-08:00Danger with Facebook: Do not fall for these applications!<br />

<div style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With the myriad of recent changes to Google's algorithm it can seem very difficult to navigate yourself through the stormy waters of Search Marketing nowadays. <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/11/3-ways-to-not-build-links-for-your-blog.html" style="outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Recent Penguin and Panda updates have turned previously accepted SEO practices on their head</span></a>. <br style="outline: none medium;" /><br style="outline: none medium;" />For example, the once widely accepted technique of using exact match domains to target specific keywords has now been targeted and devalued by the search engine. It has to be said, though, that this particular change has been on the cards for some time, and actually does make a lot of sense. It's another fairly recent update that I want to focus on in this post, however, an update that penalised sites that were too reliant on keyword anchor text links. I’ll explore our real life experiences in this area and offer some practical advice that you can apply to your own sites.</span><br style="outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-size: 16px; outline-width: medium;"><a href="" name="more" style="outline: none medium;"></a></span></span></span></div>
<h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Wild West SEO</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Let's start with the basics. In the old 'Wild West' days of </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">SEO</span></a><span style="line-height: 19px;"> if you wanted to rank for a particular keyword all you had to do was stuff the page in question with your target keyword (as well as your meta title and description), and then build backlinks with the keyword as the anchor text. This pretty much guaranteed success, as long as you put the work in. Fast forward to today, and the days of such cowboy SEO practices are pretty much over - the Wild West has been tamed by Sheriff Google. Indeed, a lot of sites that have a high percentage of keyword anchor text links in their profile have dropped considerably in the rankings. One of my early sites, an affiliate site promoting photographic products literally dropped from the rankings overnight. Upon further analysis I identified that 70% of the links used keyword based anchor text - a percentage that is way too high, and consequently unnatural in its appearance to Google.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Fortunately, my more recent sites were built on a much firmer foundation of predominantly brand-based links, and hence they have flourished. But what exactly should you do if you find that one of your sites has been affected in a similar way?</span></span><br style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span><h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A Natural Link Profile</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The first thing to do is remain calm. Put yourself in Google's position and really think about what they want to see in a link profile - a natural profile is one that appears organic, one that has grown and developed over time and has a wide variety of link types, from a diverse pool of domains. A natural link profile would also feature a fairly high percentage of brand links, and (horror of horrors) even a few mundane 'click here' links. What a natural profile wouldn't feature is tons and tons of artificially manipulated keyword anchor text links. When we carry out link building work for our clients we generally build at least 70% as brand links, i.e. those that are brand names, the site URL or variations of these.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;"> In numerous experiments published online the sites that have benefited most from recent algo changes are those that have 80%+ brand links in their link profile. I’m not saying you shouldn't build keyword based anchor text links, just that these should be a small percentage of your overall profile. So, if your site has suffered from having too many keyword rich anchor text links, you need to build a more balanced link profile. Focus predominantly on building brand links, and get these from diverse, quality sources such as guest blog posts for example. It can take a long time for your site to recover from such a penalty, but if you work patiently at 'correcting' your link profile you have every chance at making it.</span></span><br style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span><h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Google Disavow Tool</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">If upon further analysis you find that you have some questionable backlinks in your profile, you may improve your chances of recovery by removing the links in question. First of all, try to contact the relevant webmasters with a personalised link removal request. If this doesn’t work you can utilise Google’s new ‘Disavow tool’ at:</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main</span></a><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Another tip that has worked well for clients is building a small percentage of 'hybrid' anchor links. These combine your brand name with the keywords you are targeting. For example, let's say that you are an electrician based in London and your company name is 'Smith & Sons Electricians'. You could then build a hybrid link such as 'Smith & Sons- London Electricians'. This is a much more balanced way of weaving in elements of your target keywords to your link profile.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">To sum up then- make sure you think about your link profile carefully, and ensure that is built upon diverse, natural, quality foundations with a natural balance of brand and keyword based anchor links. Above all, be patient!</span></span></span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04763326655516881672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296329007802475295.post-46526771541227220312012-12-03T10:03:00.002-08:002012-12-03T10:03:18.767-08:00How to make fake virus!?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Every link in your blog is not only seen by the readers but also by the search engines.When Google and other search engines crawl your blog they take note of each link and follow the link to it's source.Of course as your blog grows their will be hundreds and eventually thousands of links scattered through the archives.Having search engine bots follow links is helpful in most cases.If in your current post you link to a post in your archive you are not only sending readers to that post but also search engines.However many links on your blog lead to a dead end like Log in pages, Download links or links to bookmark posts on Digg or Stumble Upon.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Did you know you can add a small attribute to links on your blog telling Google and other search engines to not follow a link ?</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">This can also be added to links to sites you may be telling readers to avoid, you don't want to be sending search bots to these sites.The small attribute that we add to a link to tell Google not to follow it is called the 'No Follow' tag.</span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As your blog grows and becomes more popular, along with the benefits of increased traffic and depending on the nature of you blog increased <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/search/label/Adsense%20tips" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">AdSense</span> </a>earnings or sales comes some dilemmas.People will want to try take advantage of your success in a number of ways.One way unscrupulous marketers may try to take advantage of an Unwary blogger is an approach with an interest in buying a text link within a post.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">A text link or hyper link is the name given to links you probably add to all your posts.If you write a post about Spice Up Your Blog you might add a link to Spice Up Your Blog within the post.These links help the site you link to in a number of ways, as we have previously covered </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/09/building-backlinks-do-follow-comments.html" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Google follow links</span></a><span style="line-height: 19px;"> so if you add a link to this blog Google will follow that link and crawl this blog.Google also use links to determine the importance of a site, the more links Google find to Spice Up Your Blog the more importance they credit to it, </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/search/label/SEO" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">basic SEO</span></a><span style="line-height: 19px;">.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Problem With Selling Text Links</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">There are billions of links throughout the Internet and most are natural.I might like your blog so i link to it, i might like a service or gadget so i link to it.As this blog has a page rank of 3 and many posts have a page rank of three a link from here could be very helpful.So what if you could Buy a link from my blog to your blog ? Simply send me a few bucks and i add a link to your blog in one of my posts.Well understandably Google don't like this as it effects the search results in an unnatural way.The search results you see are carefully generated using in dept technology to make sure the most relevant results are displayed highest.If someone could simply buy lots of links this would push them up the search rankings even though the site could be of poor quality and little relevance.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">OK so you can see why Google don't like the sale of links and if you are suspected of selling links you will be penalised.In fact your </span>Page Rank<span style="line-height: 19px;"> could be taken away and you could loose all search traffic from Google, a heavy penalty considering the potential traffic from Google.Currently over 70% of traffic to this blog comes from Google.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">So if you get contacted by someone looking to buy a link within your blog as tempting as it may be (I have been offered $750 for one text link on a post) your answer has to be no.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<h2 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Nofollow Text Links</span></h2>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">It is worth mentioning Nofollow text links.Some time back i covered </span>how to create Nofollow links<span style="line-height: 19px;"> that will not be followed by search engines.It is actually OK to sell a Nofollow link but it kinda defeats the purpose for the buyer so they wont be interested.Below is a video By Matt Cutts Of Google on the subject.</span></span></span><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-011XdRQq1C8/ULjAWG5t2oI/AAAAAAAADIQ/qKT_-Dxco58/s1600/q.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-011XdRQq1C8/ULjAWG5t2oI/AAAAAAAADIQ/qKT_-Dxco58/s1600/q.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Before the late 1970s, it was nearly impossible for independent musicians to tour and release albums without major label backing. Punk came along and changed all of that in a few different ways. Kids saw that they could, in fact, play music without looking like rock stars or playing like virtuosos. Punk bands also set up concrete DIY models for releasing their own records and setting up their own tours that anyone could follow. The major labels were cut out entirely, and it actually became a case of “you can do this if they put the work in.”</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">The Internet, in that way, is in those exciting golden years. The infrastructure has been set up and there are several credible models available for reference. There are a staggering amount of resources available to independent bloggers so they can, in fact, do it themselves. That might seem obvious, but it also becomes a valuable thinking point when you start to incorporate the ethics of DIY, independent music into blogging.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><a href="" name="more" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"></a></span><br />
<h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Networking, Not Money</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">After my band played a show the other day, I was sitting around having a beer with another band’s singer while the bar closed up. We were, of course, talking about music. He said something that I knew I already believed—but when he said it, it made an immense impression on me. “Dustin, guys like you and me aren’t playing music to make money or become famous. We do it because we love actually playing music and because we might make some good friends along the way.”</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">Networking –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: orange;"> </span>Bloggers write because, fundamentally, they want their words to be read. In theory, they also want to connect with the people reading those words. They want to talk about what they wrote and why they wrote it. When you begin those conversations, you’ll naturally find some kindred spirits. People let bands sleep on their floors and cook them spaghetti—people comment on your blog and ask you to guest post. You’re making some friends along the way.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">A Living –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"> On a small scale, independent level most “career” musicians have a hard time making ends meet. Some of them are even miserable, homeless in between tours and working dead end jobs. “Career” independent bloggers are the same way—just generally without the touring and the homelessness. There are good times to be had in blogging. There is great art to be made. There are new friends to meet. There’s even some money in it—it’s just a hard life to live. If you want to dedicate your life to blogging and make it your primary job, know that there’s a rough road ahead. Dedication is the key. Just as most working stuffs can take a week off go on tour and dedicate some evenings (and sleepless mornings at the office) to play some local shows, know that you can produce great blog content without having to live in your van.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">Recognition –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"> There’s a difference between recognition and fame. Famous people make vapid pop hits. Good bands make amazing albums that are recognized by dedicated fans and music lovers. A good blogger strives toward that recognition, but also knows it’s more about the work being understood and appreciated more than it’s about becoming a household name.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><a href="http://www.badsandwichchronicles.net/" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">Brendan Kelly</span></a><span style="line-height: 19px;">, front man for The Lawrence Arms, The Falcon and the Wandering Birds sums up the difference between artists seeking some amount of recognition and people who are hungry for fame at any cost, “Frankly, I don’t need to be hanging out with anyone who needs that much attention, and that’s really saying something because I, as well as a lot of my best friends, like to stand on elevated platforms in front of crowds and loudly shout things into amplified microphones. That’s some serious attention seeking behavior, but there’s a difference. Namely, it occupies a time and a place and there’s a certain point where it shuts off.”</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">The difference between the quest for fame and the quest to be recognized for doing good work is knowing when to shut it off, which is an important bit of knowledge for a good blogger.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span><h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Book Your Own Tour</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">In the 1980s, American punk pioneers Black Flag set up a network of small venues, promoters and housing options for touring bands. Indie bands still follow that network to this day. Likewise, intrepid Internet trailblazers have set up some amazing resources for the independent blogger.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">Location –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"> Just as a real indie band does, a good blogger decides where s/he wants his/her content to go. It doesn’t matter what the “pros” and “influencers” say, because as a blogger it is completely up to you. You make your own destiny, and thankfully there are a ton of good maps lying around to guide you to wherever your end destination may be.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">Audience –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"> People will tell you “where the money is” and “how to succeed as a blogger.” A good blogger knows, however, that selecting the right audience is imperative. It’s not always about money or the most retweets—it’s about finding the people you actually connect with. Just as Brooklyn indie pop band Hospitality might not go over well at a popular metal club, your content might not be a great fit for every “good” site.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span><h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Make Your Own Merch</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">For DIY bands, it takes a little bit of time and money to get going. They usually spend some cash on their first t-shirts and front the recording bill for their first demo—whether they buy the equipment to do it themselves, or find another local, DIY artist who specializes in those fields to help. Similarly, a good blogger knows that there’s an upfront cost associated with blogging, and that payment can come in the form of either time or money.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">Site –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"> There are people out there with good advice, but you should decide what works best for you. Free WordPress and Blogger sits work well for plenty of people, as do bare bones affairs with easy interfaces and inexpensive-but-elegant themes. The people that shout “you must always spend thousands on a web designer!” are full of baloney. Web designers are awesome and do great work, but you’ll know exactly what suits your purposes—which might be a free blog or even just a Tumblr account.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">Marketing –</span></b><span style="line-height: 19px;"> Again, there are a ton of marketing professionals and firms out there that can help you get anywhere you want to go, but they’re expensive. If you take the DIY approach you can still make a pretty good run at marketing yourself. There’s plenty of great advice out there, and if you’re a blogger then you’re already a creative person. Who knows—maybe someone will be asking you for marketing advice pretty soon.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">The essence of the DIY ethic is this—you make the rules for yourself and put your work out on your terms. No one can tell you where to put your blog posts, what to name your site or who to make friends with. As an independent blogger, you make the choices and put in the work. At the end of the day you might not be raking in cash and writing a regular column for Gawker, but you just might write something innovative that people will actually remember and talk about.

Further you can display image or logo with your header too. Does it bugging you? The way <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">how your</span> header is. Do you think you could have done more to your header if you can use a custom header instead of default one? If you are not prefer the default header style, you will seek around a way to customize or add a custom header for your blog. As far as if you have tried it by yourself, you may have find that current blog header is cannot move a bit or remove it. So you might have wonder why you can't remove default Blogger header and add a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5" style="background-attachment: scroll !important; background-image: none !important; background-position: 0% 50%; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; border-bottom-style: dotted !important; border-bottom-width: 1px !important; cursor: pointer !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px 0px 1px !important; position: static;">new custom</span> header to your blog.

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It seems you can't touch or remove default header to use custom header, but you are absolutely wrong until you find how to do it.<span style="color: #222222;"> </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/search/label/Blogger" style="text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Blogger</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> </span>made the header element locked by itself to not to remove by general users. So they have to use default header with blog title, description and eligible header image. But it doesn't mean Blogger doesn't let you hack it and implement a new one. You just need to find how to do it. Here we will discuss how to remove your current header safely without affecting to your existing blog and let you implement your own header on it. I hope you would love to </span><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">go through and add your own custom header to show off to your visitors.

<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">By now if you have a blog you’ve no doubt heard all about Google’s Penguin update. If you haven’t, here’s a quick recap from an earlier post on Create the Blogger, <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/how-google-penguin-update-will-affect.html" style="outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">How Google Penguin Update Will Affect Your Blog ?</span></a> .It’s been many months now since the hammer fell on some webmasters and it always takes a while to adjust and learn how to go forward. Of course every major update has its casualties and you rarely hear about people having Panda issues any more. Strategies change and every new update strikes even worse fear in the hearts of some webmasters. If it wasn’t clear before it’s pretty obvious now that if you want to succeed on the web, then you need to be ‘doing it right’. So without further ado I’m going to explain what strategies you shouldn’t be doing and explaining how to ‘do it right’.</span><br />

<h4 style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Directory submissions</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">This was always the easy ‘go to’ </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/organic-link-building-vs-paid-link.html" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">method of building links</span></a><span style="line-height: 19px;">. There are literally tens of thousands of web directories out there, and many people used these to get ‘easy links’. Now I’d say that easy links are the ones you don’t want. It’s a zero sum game. If everybody can get easy links then where’s the advantage? The links you want are the harder to acquire links.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Google has de-indexed a huge amount of directory sites and you certainly don’t want to be on any of these. SEOMoz has a curated list of quality directories (http://www.seomoz.org/directories) that adhere to higher standards. You need to be a member to see the full list, but you can sign up for an account for free for 30 days and get access.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">You will have to pay a small fee to be on some of these directories but you need to remember that to maintain the integrity of the directory they will need to charge a fee. For now in the Penguin era you need to stay away from low quality directories but quality ones do still have their place. Now you know where to find them. I hope that helps you.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Here’s what Google’s head of webspam </span><a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Matt Cutts</span></a><span style="line-height: 19px;"> has to say about this.</span></span><br />

<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Blog posting/article marketing</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">We’ll fit two algorithm updates into this section. Do you remember back in the day people posting their articles to article sites like ezine articles? It worked for a while until Panda came along and destroyed many of these types of sites. Just as this was dying off the next step in link building/spamming evolution was blog networks. If you don’t know, these were huge spam networks where you could post your articles and get links. The major ones all got de-indexed right before the Penguin update.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">I’m sure that many webmasters of quality blogs got caught up in this and paid the price that was the Penguin assault on their rankings and livelihoods. Again just like the spam directories, it was all too easy. There’s nothing wrong with marketing yourself by sharing your knowledge on other sites but it needs to be on quality relevant legitimate sites with a real readership. If the link is easy to get then it’s probably not worth it.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">The way to get quality links through sharing your knowledge is to find sites with real readers that have actual quality standards. In my opinion you should avoid the many sites springing up where webmasters exchange their articles. I won’t name names and say who these sites are as that wouldn’t be right. They are a step in the right direction, but as a blog owner you need to be looking for quality. Would it make sense for your content (and link) to be there if Google didn’t exist? If so, then it’s a good choice and you should go for it!</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">If you want to find quality sites to share your content and ideas as well as getting links, then Google is your friend. Try using these two simple search terms (footprints):</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">inurl:”write for us” [insert your niche]</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">“guest post” [insert your niche]</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Those footprints should find you sites that accept sharing of content and ideas, but don’t forget to evaluate the site itself. If it’s a spam setup you should easily be able to see it. Aim for quality and relevance. Relevance is more important than ever now. Black Hat SEO’s pre penguin used to think that any link counts and relevance is, well, irrelevant. This couldn’t be further from the truth. If you can find quality relevant sites and pitch content ideas that would resonate with both your audience and theirs then you’re onto a winner.</span></span><br />

<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Blog commenting</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">This old low quality SEO trick has been around forever. Essentially the plan was to ‘get the link’ and make one blog comment on the site and then move onto the next. The more linking root domains that your blog has the more power it has for ranking, or at least that was the theory. Again, when Penguin came along then this method of getting backlinks got absolutely destroyed. It was already seriously devalued before then, but now you risk getting a penalty on your blog if you carry out these tactics. So, my SEO suggestion to replace this in the Penguin era is to comment on blogs.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Yes you heard that right. I’m not looking for you to get penalised, don’t worry! There’s nothing wrong with these techniques and there never was, it’s just that way that they were used and abused that was the problem. Relevance and quality is the key and it always will be, but even more it’s about building relationships.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">By commenting on blogs you can get links and good ones if you do it right. I’m also NOT talking about the link within the comment. I’d suggest linking to your Twitter account in the comments. Find the highest quality relevant blogs in your niche that write the best content for their audience. When you find an article that you have enjoyed, make a quality comment. I’m not talking, “thanks, nice post”, I’m saying make a super high quality reply to the themes explored in the article itself. Think of your comment as an article in itself (although don’t go too crazy!). You’ll certainly get the attention of the webmaster and he’ll thank you for it, especially if you do this a few times over a few weeks. So, how do I get a quality link I hear you ask?</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Building links is all about connecting with people and ideas. Build a relationship slowly with your link targets. Follow them on Twitter, retweet their tweets, and comment on their blog. Maybe later on send an email and start an exchange of ideas. Finally when the time is right, make your approach for the link. You can do it many ways. You could ask for a guest posting opportunity even if they don’t normally do guest posts, and you’ll probably get it, but that’s too easy.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">By now you should know the kind of content and ideas that the webmaster and his audience enjoy. Create that content on your own website (which helps you even more) and ask the webmaster to link to it. If you’ve worked hard on the relationship then you’ll likely get a great link to your site. Not only will you have earned a quality link the hard way, but you’ve built a relationship which may well last much longer than the time it takes to get a single link. Not to mention that your link target was the type of site that won’t link to your competitors or others in your niche.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">This strategy of course should be used for the highest of the high quality sites. The ones where you’d dream of having them link to you. It works.</span></span><br />

<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A final note</span></span></h4>
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">The key with all of this is relevance and quality. There’s no point doing any of this on low quality or irrelevant sites. Create a list today of all the sites in your niche that you’d love to get a relevant link from. Then work out a strategy of exactly how you can approach them and get the link. Outright asking for it upfront is going to get you nowhere. However, if you build real relationships then you can achieve the hardest of goals.</span><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">What tips do you have to do the link building side of SEO better? Everybody can surely see that today it’s all about quality and relevancy, and lack of creativity is your only roadblock to blogging success.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">A friend had asked me for help implementing some social icons using a sprite technique she had seen a tutorial for on </span><a href="http://robcubbon.com/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Rob Cubbon's blog</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">.I came to her aid and the result was great and using sprites has some advantages.By using a sprite image we can easily display the icons in black and white they then change to color on hover.Also we only use one image instead of 14 which helps with the load speed of your blog.It worked so well I decided to provide the tutorial for all our readers.Once added to your Blogger sidebar it will display icons for Google +, Your Rss Feed, Email Feed, </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/add-brand-new-facebook-send-button-to.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Facebook</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/using-twitter-to-find-guest-post.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Twitter</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, LinkedIn and YouTube.</span></span><br />

While all those things are important, I grant you, what are most important in blog writing are two things: passion and consistency. Unlike any other type of writing, with blog writing you get an audience based not only on WHAT you write but on HOW OFTEN you write it. No one will follow a blog that is only updated every few months. With that in mind, here are some writing tips for you:</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Write often </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">–</span></span></span></span></span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> You have to keep up with blog readers. They demand a certain level of post updates. It is just a fact of blogging. You cannot abandon your blog and expect it to survive. You cannot take a hiatus and expect to come back to the same number of readers. You have to write often enough to keep up with your readers. On some blogs that means once or twice a week, but for some blogs they require daily or even more frequent updates.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Write regularly</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> –</span></span></span></span></span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> You can’t just toss up four or five posts on one day and call it a week. It will not work. You must, must, MUST write on a consistent basis. That may mean that you post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or every Tuesday and Thursday, or every day but Sunday. Whatever your method is, if it works then stick with it. If it does not work than change it up. But whatever you do keep it regular.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><b style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Write short –</span></span></span></span></span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> No one wants to read a novel on your blog. If you like to write long meandering posts and people seem to like them than great. Just break them up for me, will you? A bunch of shorter posts is better than one long post that is all over the place. You can even separate it is not part one, part two and so one so that people can easily follow along. This is a great method for making the most out of your how to posts as well, as they have to keep reading to find the next direction.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Write clearly</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> –</span></span></span></span></span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> All the </span></span></span></span></span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-effectively-write-for-specific.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">writing and posting in the world is not going to cut it if your writing is junk</span></span></span></span></span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">. You have to be clear. Some things that can mess you up are jargon that readers might be unfamiliar with, undefined acronyms, and just a lack of good writing skills. If you are not a native speaker please, please, please have someone who is look over your work before you post it. There are some things that are just hard to translate. I know you have a lot to share, but be careful that you do not scare away readers with your lack of clarity.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Keep it simple</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> –</span></span></span></span></span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> Along with being clear you have to be simple. Unless you have an audience that consists only of highly intelligent and talented people familiar with what you are writing about, then I will agree that you can take it up a notch. But otherwise make sure that your posts are accessible to the average reader. Remember that a lot of people can’t read very well and do not have a large vocabulary, so if you insist on using big words try to use them in a way that others can pick up on their meaning for the context of the word.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><b style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Spelling and Grammar</span></span></span></span></span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><b><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> –</span></span></span></span></span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> Okay, now this is something that should not be an issue anymore. I assume you are typing your blog posts, right? Sure you are! Now, you see that little button at the top of the page that says spell check? CLICK IT every time before you post. Thank you.

Read your post aloud before posting also to make sure it flows right and that </span></span></span></span></span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/top-14-grammatical-offenses-of-bloggers.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">you did not mix up any words</span></span></span></span></span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">. Things like horse and hoarse, hole and whole, and right and write tend to get skipped over in spell check. I am not a huge grammar Nazi. Just make it sound good, okay?

A plain font is fine, believe me. Also, watch your font colors. A bright color is eye catching, but it is also painful to read after a while. Do not make the font color similar to the background color either. If you have a black background do not use a charcoal font color! If you have a white background do not use a cream colored font! It is simple- take a look at your blog and make sure you can read it easily and without eye strain.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><b style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Break it up</span></span></span></span></span></b></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: orange;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> -</span></span></span></span></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> No one wants to read a huge paragraph, or worse yet a run on sentence that goes the entire page. Break up your post into smaller paragraphs and insert images here and there to break up a lot of text.

The 10 Best ____, the 5 Scariest ____, 15 Cool and Free ____, and the 25 Weirdest _____ are all things that readers will stop and take a look at. Why? Because they do not have to read! Readers are essentially lazy people that would rather scan a list than read a page. Use that to your advantage and make list posts when you can.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;"><span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Use pictures</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> –</span></span></span></span></span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"> Did you ever hear the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”? Well, now you have. It is true. A picture can bring in more readers than almost anything else. If you can get an image that is funny, cute, or weird then you will get readers. Now, do not mess this up. Do not just stick random pictures in your blog post. They have to match the content to be effective. But if you can use a great image you have a greater chance of your post being picked up on social media, especially ones like Pinterest.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">These are just a few tips I can share with you about blogging. I know when I first started out everything seemed twice as hard blogging as it did writing anything else. After all, there are no hard and fast rules.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">However as you go along you will pick up what works and what does not work in your blogging niche. If you spend some time looking at successful blogs in your niche then you can pick up the things that help make them successful. Do not forget to become a part of the blogging community and interact with other bloggers. They can offer you valuable tips and information that you may not be able to find out quickly on your own.</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Also remember that tagging and categorizing your posts is important.

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/p/write-for-us.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Become a guest author on Create the Blogger</span></a><span style="color: red;">.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The primary goal of most blogs is to develop a loyal <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-grow-your-readership-when-you.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">readership</span></a>, and the best way to do that is to identify a specific audience that you want to reach and write specifically for them. You'll find that by better connecting with their needs and interests your blog is able to grow faster and your visitors are more engaged.<br style="outline: none medium;" /><br style="outline: none medium;" />But how do you decide who to target? And what can you do to get them interested?</span><br style="outline: none medium;" /></div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Who are your writing for ?</span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">You want to be specific about what your blog will discuss. You don't want it to be too broad since you won't be speaking directly to anyone's needs, but you also don't want it to be so narrow that the number of people you can reach is too small.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">For instance, there are hundreds of mom blogs out there and millions of potential moms to reach, so if you wanted to start your own mom blog, you need to find a way to differentiate yourself from the crowd. You could share experiences as a work-at-home mom or an African-American mom to hone in on a more specific group of moms.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Learn more about this group</span></h4>
<a href="" name="more" style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"></a><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Let's say you've decided to write a blog for work-at-home moms. You now want to learn as much as you can about the people who might be reading your blog.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span><ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Do they live in rural, suburban, or urban locations?</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What types of work do they do?</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is their average salary?</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Are they married or unmarried?</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is their race or ethnicity?</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How many kids do they have? What ages?</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">By getting this demographic information, you can better tailor your writing. For instance, you might learn that many work-at-home moms have part-time jobs, not full-time, so the tips you offer on how to manage your average work day might be better based on 20 work hours rather than 40.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Interact with the audience elsewhere</span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">It's likely that you're not the only website or blog catering to this specific audience, so head over to the other places on the Internet where these people are visiting. Join conversations on forums. Stay up-to-date on relevant news and blogs. Read and respond to comments. This will help you get a better sense of the style of communication you can best use to communicate with this audience, as well as their current concerns and trends.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Look to your site statistics</span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Another strategy is to find out who is already visiting your site. You can use services like </span><a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Google Analytics</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> and </span><a href="http://www.quantcast.com/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Quantcast</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> to get a detailed picture. Alternately, you can use this information to see if you actually are reaching your target audience. If you're trying to reach work-at-home moms but find that much of your audience is male, you may want to shift your content to focus on work-at-home parents to take advantage of that.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Ask your readers</span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Of course, there's always the direct approach! Find out what your audience likes and dislikes. You can do so by simply posting a blog entry and asking for people to leave their thoughts in the comments. Or you can run a more formal survey with a service like </span><a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">SurveyMonkey</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. And don't rule out social media as a method of testing the waters. Twitter and Facebook are great ways to get instant feedback.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04763326655516881672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296329007802475295.post-56529722320749524842012-11-16T13:39:00.000-08:002012-11-17T03:38:50.823-08:00The Key Factors To Guest Posting For Authors And Publishers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/p/write-for-us.html" style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">Become a guest author on Create the Blogger</span></a><span style="background-color: #fafafa; color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For the last year or so Guest Posts have made up the majority of content on Create the abalogger .A guest post is a post submitted by a blogger, webmaster or content writer representing one of the aforementioned.We have covered the subject of guest posts previously, we even have <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-7-deadly-sins-of-guest-posting.html" style="outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">guest posts about guest posting</span></a> ehh...But a short description is the guest author gets valuable links to their sites in the author section and the publisher gets quality content from a new voice.<br style="outline: none medium;" /><br style="outline: none medium;" />But while the majority of content on Create the Blogger is now written by guest authors I don't just accept and publish every post submitted.Even though I have published 103 guest posts so far in 2012 you will be surprised to learn I actually reject about 85% of posts submitted.<br style="outline: none medium;" /><br style="outline: none medium;" />So what are the key factors that make the difference between posts been accepted and rejected.</span></div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What Publishers Want</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6296329007802475295" name="more" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"></a></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">So why are posts accepted or rejected and what can you are either an author looking to get your guest posts published on blogs accepted or as a publisher learn ?</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">First up you must remember most publishers like myself will have to review a number of posts daily so you need to grab our attention quickly.Within seconds I can tell how much effort has been put into writing a post.</span></span><br />
<ul style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Has the post been formatted with sub titles and headings.</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Has the author included relevant images.</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Have they used lists.</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Is the content broken into paragraphs.</span></li>
<li style="outline: none medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Has the author linked to reliable sources.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">These are just small things but when I review a post these are the factors that make a first impression and you know what they say about first impressions.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Now I have to admit when I first review a post I do not take the time to read it word for word.It's a known fact that when we are online we scan content rather than taking the time to read.This is why sub titles and headings are so important.If after quickly scanning a post I feel it does not fit that's it I send the reject Email.If after a quick scan I think the post has some potential I will take the time to read it in full and make my decision.</span></span><br />
<h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What Publishers Don't Want</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">So lets look at some of the reasons posts are rejected after the first scan.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Content is off topic -</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> This is one of the most regular reasons, I have had posts on everything from Insurance and Credit to Firearms and Fitness submitted.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Content Looks Spun -</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> This really is the scourge of guest posting.Spun content is basically an author writes a post then either manually or with the aid of software make minor changes.This way they can have what is in essence the same post published on a number of sites.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Author links in the body -</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> On Create the Blogger and on most blogs the author will be allowed to add a set number of links in the bio section.I do not allow 'Self Serving' links in the body of the article.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Just a rubbish post -</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> Finally we do get a lot of posts that lets be honest are just rubbish.</span></span><br />
<h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Learning From Posts That Made The Cut</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Finally some posts are great but we have already covered the subject.As the number of posts increase the number of topics we have covered increases.So take the time to check if a site you are submitting content to has already published content on the subject of your post.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">So that's the main reasons posts are rejected lets look at what gets accepted.Using examples from Guest posts I have published these are </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Short, Sweet And To The Point -</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> In January 2011 I had only published a few guest posts when Edward Stern sent in "</span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/anatomy-of-engaging-blog-post.html" style="background-color: white;

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Don’t judge a book by its cover is such a trite adage. While there’s merit to it, most people—especially in the blogosphere—don’t heed it. An ugly blog with scrunched up images and missing links aren’t going to get awards. Similarly, readers who come across boring <a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/10/anatomy-of-engaging-blog-post.html" style="outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">blog post</span></a> titles will say, “Meh,” and go back to Facebook. Like it or not, your post title is your book cover, and unless it’s made of gold, your post will go unread, unappreciated, unloved.Make sure your posts get the love they deserve by giving it an appropriate title.</span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">6 Tips To Heart-Stopping Post Titles</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">1.</span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> Be friends with your </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">thesaurus</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. Instead of writing “5 Great Ways to Blahblahblah,” look up words that convey more urgency, thrill, and drama. For example, instead of </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">great</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, use</span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">awesome, striking, jaw-dropping, heart-stopping</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, etc.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">2.</span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> Note that </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">some words are just inherently more eye-catching than others</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. Many comedians agree that some words (or even some letters) are funnier than others. For example, Dave Barry in his book </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Dave Barry Talks Back</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> takes one phrase (“Richard Nixon wearing a necktie”) and then makes it funnier: “Richard Nixon wearing a neck weasel.” In another example, the word </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">brouhaha</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> is funnier than </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">uproar</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Canoodle</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> is funnier than </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">hug</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Smithereens</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> is funnier than </span><i style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">pieces</i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. You get the point.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">3.</span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> Keep it </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">short and simple</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">, unless long, complex, and tongue-in-cheek is the angle you’re going for; this does have its place, but that place is probably not your particular blog post title. Needlessly complicated titles indicate similarly complicated blog posts and are a sign to readers: this post was written by a) an amateur blogger or b) a self-indulgent blogger.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">4.</span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">Take risks</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">.

Instead of “Ways to Make Your Blog Not Suck, “ readers will instinctively gravitate to something more substantial: “7 Ways to Make Your Blog Not Suck.” Moreover, numbers are promising: they promise a certain number of things, and readers love certainty. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Besides, most readers like to open a blog post, read the key points, and go on about their day. Few people in the blogosphere are interested in a novel at that particular point in time. Lists of some sort break up long, boring text and draw in the eye. Even if readers don’t read the rest of the blog, they’ll at least read the list.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange;">6.</span><span style="color: #990000;"> </span></b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Keep it </span><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">honest</b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">. Don’t promise something to the reader in the title and fail to deliver it in the post.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">If you are </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/11/diy-earned-media-how-to-get-free.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">looking to promote your blog</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> one of the most prominent methods currently being employed by many blog owners is to write guest articles on other sites. There are </span><a href="http://createtheblogger.blogspot.com/2012/11/diy-earned-media-how-to-get-free.html" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">several benefits of guest writing</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"> including…</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">- Reaching out to the blog owner’s audience</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">- Driving relevant traffic to your site</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">- Increasing awareness of your brand</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">- Building links from related sites</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">However to be successful at this you need to deploy the correct methods both in terms of how and who you approach, as well as deciding which type of content you want to produce. Do this process incorrectly and you will fail to enjoy the maximum benefit from your guest posting activities. Below we have compiled the top 7 things you need to avoid when guest posting…</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><a href="" name="more" style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;"></a><br />
<h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1. Approaching the wrong sites</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will find that there is an increasing number of sites that are open to guest bloggers. The reason for this is that a high quality guest blog will benefit not only the guest blogger but also the blog owner through increased traffic to their site, a greater number of social media citations and an increase in the volume of backlinks. With so many blogs to choose from it can be tempting to take a ‘scattergun’ approach and fire out hundreds of guest post requests to see how many you can get accepted. This is without question entirely the wrong approach to take. Instead, you should be looking to approach quality sites within your industry or niche. This may be slower and you may get fewer acceptances; however the ones you do get will count much more than having lots of low quality guest posts pointing at your site.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. Sending a template email</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Anyone who runs a popular blog that accepts guest posts will no doubt have been a recipient of this kind of outreach email at some point..</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /></span><hr align="center" color="#ddd" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" width="50%" />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Dear Webmaster,</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">I noticed you accept guest blogs and I would like to ask if you would allow me to write one for you. I can provide a quality and informative article of at least 500 words that I am sure will be of interest to your readers. All I request is that you allow me to place one backlink to my site from within the article itself.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Looking forward to your response on the matter,</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Yours faithfully,</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">A Site Owner,</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">www.awebsite.com</span></span><hr align="center" color="#ddd" style="line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" width="50%" />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">Notice how it says “Dear Webmaster” because the person who sent the email cannot be bothered to find out the name of the person who owns the site. Not only is this impersonal, it also demonstrates they have not had a proper look through the website itself to see if it would be a good match. Remember that popular blog owners receive dozens of requests to guest post so you need to catch their attention and make your email standout from the crowd. Sending out hundreds of bulk, templated outreach emails will result in a much lower response rate, so make sure you invest time and effort into each one you send.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Dictating the format of the article</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">One thing blog owners do not appreciate is when the person sending the outreach email specifies in advance the proposed format of their guest article, specifically with regard to the linking policy. Therefore you must avoid making any such demands, particularly, with regard to which links appear in the article. This again can be a source of frustration as the majority of blog owners publish guidelines that cover their own sites linking policy and trying to openly flout these rules only proves once again that you did not take the time to research their site properly.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">4. Not giving a good reason why should be allowed to post</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">A good guest blog post should add value to a website, and importantly provide something that has not already been covered by the blog owner. Thus when approaching a site owner you need to give them a good reason why they should let you be their next guest blogger. Why does your guest blog title suit their site, why will the article be of interest to their readers? Remember the owner of a quality blog will not be short of people offering to write for them which means webmasters will only ever want to publish content that enhances their site. A good tip is to always check through existing posts to ensure what you are proposing has not been covered already. If it has, ensure your proposed title has enough differentiation that it will add value to the site. For example you could take one topic that has already covered and then provide a counter argument or critique.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">5. Not proving your worth and writing ability</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">In your guest post email you may want to state that you are a competent writer that can produce high quality content. However the site owner has no means of verifying this, unless they happen to have read one of your existing posts (unlikely). In which case you should, where you feel it is appropriate, offer previous examples of guest posts that you have written. If you have written for another notable blog within a particular niche this may help reassure the blog owner that you can provide them with a worthwhile piece of content. Remember guest blog posting benefits both parties and sites that accept guest posts will want more content if it is of a high standard.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">6. Stating the obvious</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">The vast majority of blog owners are fully aware of the benefits that high quality, unique content can bring to their site. For this reason it is not necessary and in fact wholly inappropriate to start lecturing them about the benefits your guest blog will bring to them. Do not on any occasion mention the fact that your guest article will help them to ‘improve their search engine rankings’, ‘deliver more traffic’ or ‘gain them more backlinks’. If you are to mention any benefits, explain how your guest blog idea will benefit their readers specifically.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><h4 style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;">
<span style="outline: none medium;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">7. Being overly formal in your approach</span></span></h4>
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Philosopher, arial, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; outline: none medium;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Most blogs are operated by an individual or a group of individuals, rather than by a business or corporation. Therefore it is not necessary to approach them in a formal manner such as “Dear Owner of abc.com”. Most blogs have an ‘about’ section where you can find out information about the site owner, including of course their name. As you are attempting to strike up a relationship with that blogger you should create an outreach email that is polite and courteous rather than one that is formal in tone. Avoid being overly verbose in your approach or writing reams and reams about why they should let you blog on your site. The correct approach is to be concise, informal and friendly without of course being too casual, for example using slang or bad language.</span></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04763326655516881672noreply@blogger.com0
