How To Get Your Pages Indexed By Google


Provided that you respect some basic SEO guidelines, 100% of your posts should be indexed by Google. The basic SEO guidelines are:

1. All your posts must have unique and quality content. By unique I mean that the content of your posts should be found only on a single place (i.e., avoid duplicate content both inside and outside your domain). By quality I mean that the content should be useful to potential visitors. If you repeat the letter “z” one thousand times you would end up with unique content, but it would have zero quality so Google would probably not index that.

What is Niche Marketing


What is Niche Marketing

If you are one of many people who are trying to get on the Internet and try to make money out of it, you probably might be asking the same thing, "What is Niche Marketing?".

As I am sure you have encountered that phrase a lot of times now, when you are in the Internet Marketing field, it is highly common for you to see questions, see articles about Niche Marketing, but if you are still unsure of the real meaning of Niche Marketing, let me tell you something about it.

Niche Marketing is a term used by a lot Affilliate marketers, it is a process done by getting a partial segment of a wide market, and then focusing on that particular segment to reach maximum profits, or atleast a steady flow of income.

When you go into Affiliate Marketing, you sign up for an account, let's say Amazon. Having signed up for that affiliate account you are greeted with a whole bunch of different merchandise to sell, and now you will be confused of what to choose, now by using the principles of Niche Marketing, you can focus on just one particular type of merchandize in order for you to have a more clear desicion on what product to sell, for example you choose technology, of course there are a whole lot of different sorts of technology stuff, there are watches, there are cellphones, Tv's, cameras, and so on and so forth, but if you choose just one particular product let's say cameras, and focus on it, build a website only for cameras, promote it, then the people who are more likely to look at your site, browse your pages, will be targeted audience or possible buyers, resulting in having a steady group of audience and a steady group of buyers.

Then you can start selling, accessories for cameras, lenses or stuff that is related to cameras. You build a world for cameras, you build a reliable looking site, professional looking site, a site that would make your audience feel as if you are the camera authority.

People will go looking for you in the Internet, people will start to notice as you as the person to look for when it comes to cameras. They will start to look for your opinions, they will be eager to have your opinions about cameras.

But before you choose a specific niche to market, you must have a passion for that product, or for that specific niche.

In essence, niche marketing is selling a product or service to those who want or need the product the most.

How to make a Quality Blog Post

For bloggers this has been one of the toughest jobs one needs to overcome. For a few months that I have been blogging I have created some post that did not catch a lot of readers and I have also copied some content during the earlier days of my blogging career. I have created this post because I want to place it on my blog for other people to read it and I want to keep myself reminded of it from time to time.




So here are my own tips on HOW TO MAKE A QUALITY BLOG POST:

  1. Best way to start creating your post is of course is to select a topic. While you are still planning of writing a post for you blog, try to think a topic as well. 
  2. Research on the topic that you want to write about, try reading on some of the bloggers post and compare all their comments and reviews, and then come up with your own opinion and make your own review about it based on your own research. 
  3. After you are done with your research, create a plan on how you would want your post to look like, prepare all the necessary stuff like bookmarking buttons and links to the blog post that you have visited or refer to them on your post. In short create a concept on what you post should be. 
  4. After all that is done, it's time to write, and when you write something there is always an introduction, now when you write your intro, make an intro that would make your readers want to read more, make them interested, best way to do that is to write it in your own words, no fancy-shmancy, just plain writing, just like talking to a person, think what is the reason why I have created this post, what made me write this article, and then after that everything will follow.
  5. When you are done with your introduction, don't forget to review it as it is important in convincing your readers to continue on reading the whole article. Now, writing the body of the article, when writing the body of the article, this would not be hard because you already have researched about it, but still try to put your thoughts in words more plainly, just use small paragraphs, easy to understand words, and also remember the links, this is where you put your links to other blog post, don't forget to put all the necessary stuff in here, pictures, videos, but don't put unrelated videos or pictures. This would be important because it will help put more value to your post. 
  6. After that is done, don't forget to review the your article. 
  7. Now it's time to create a Title to for your article. How to create a Good Title for your Blog Post? Okay, this one is hard to do as this is also one of the biggest factors in blogging, it will determine where your blog post will rest in Search Engine Results. My tip for this one to think about a catchy phrase which you think will make the reader think it is an interesting article. 
  8. Now, after that here comes tagging or labeling, use Google Adwords if you are unsure of what labels to put that is related to you article, Adwords will help you in that field. Just use meta keywords and descriptive tags.
  9. Finally, Publish it!! 
So, those are my 9 tips on HOW TO MAKE A QUALITY BLOG POST. Hope it will be of good use to you.. Thanks! :)) Just keep on posting.

Follow Me and I will Follow You


For the past months that I have been using Twitter I really didn't know the real purpose of Twittering. I just signed up for it because I thought it was hot and everybody seems to be doing it. Now after months and months of posting updates and just posting something for my product, because I really wasn't into it at the time I only had like 20 followers. And now it is growing little by little which makes me a little bit amused. This post will be pointed towards how to know if a person is following you or not.

In my case I really don't have that much people following me but I can see that every day there are at least one or two persons that are becoming my followers. In my case when I decided to really put some more time on my twitter account and take it more seriously, I followed every person that I think has some connection to my website which talks a lot about technology.

So now here are the steps:

The first step is of course you have to login to your account. And then, click on the following link below the following no. and that will take you to the page where you can see all the people that you are following. Now, you want to see if that particular person is following you or not, here is how you would know, click on the actions button on the right next to the name of the person you are following. A drop down menu will appear, on the menu you will see @mention, an option that will enable you to message a person, and then below it is the direct message option which is similar to the @mention option. And then below it is the unfollow option which cancels your link to the person, and then finally the last option is block, with this you can block a person message or direct message.

If you wanna check the person if he/she is following you or not you can just see it if you can find the direct message in the actions menu. If that option is there that means that that person is following you. But if it is not, you might as well just unfollow that person. Okay, so that's it. Thanks.

Earn Money thru Blogging




This post is a compilation of all the stuff that I have encountered within the months that I have been blogging.
I'm gonna post something that I think is worth the time posting, this post is going to be pointed towards how to
make money thru blogging.

Now, to make money thru blogging is not an easy task and it is definitely not one of those get-rich-quick-scheme bogus
that some other people brag about. If you have spent countless hours and days trying to make your blog look better and attract readers to subscribe to your feed, well the money part won't be that far away from you.

You would have to have a descent number of readers, maybe 50 or a 100 would make the cut. You can earn money from that thru putting ads by Google on you Feedburner feeds. But first, you must have a good topic for your blog. Something that you think is a bit interesting, something that you think people would look up for in the internet. And then you must do the SEO thing too. SEO could be the trickiest part in the whole process.

Then, after you succeed in making your blog exist in the blogosphere or atleast in the category that you intended for your blog. That is the time that you can slap some banner on your blog. But remember to not place ads if your blog is not yet getting traffic or else it would make it harder your blog to rise up. Adsense can be a weight to your blog and drag it down if it doesn't have enough traffic yet.

The amount of money that earn from blogging depends on a lot of different factors, because actually there a lot of things on the internet that you do to make money using your blog. You can put banners, you can do affiliate marketing, or you can make sponsored reviews, but you have to sign up for those sites first and pass all the requirement for you to get some assignments.

Now, getting an assignment from a sponsored review site is also a hard thing to do, because there are some sites that has a lot of requirements just for your blog to pass the screening process. Editors will screen your blogs, and they will look at your blog to see if it passes. Then after that your on your way to earning some serious cash. I am not sure if I have included everything there is to know about blogging in this post. But these is are all I can think of as of the moment. Thanks.
