It has been a long time since I last discussed about blogging here on my blog.

Well, I thought it might be boring for my readers to read blogging and making money online tips having the same idea, again and again.

Most Internet marketing gurus these days are not attracting to me, especially when they talk about SEO or Search Engine Optimization.

After more than 2 years of blogging, I can say that I am still far from being an expert. However, I think I can already share some of my knowledge and experience on how to promote a blog especially for beginners. This is also with the help of the blogs I read as well as from the Darren Rowse’ Problogger Book which I won from a contest.

But I must remind you that promoting a blog effectively does not necessary mean that you will make good money, not unless you treat your blog as a business. Nevertheless, most high traffic blogs are making good money from advertisers and Google Adsense.

Since this topic is very wide, I decided to make it a 3-part post and here is Part One. This post might be long for you but I will try to explain each item as simple as possible. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, my dear readers. I now own a Problogger Book, and it is such a great honor to have one. Late last year, I proudly announced that I won a Problogger Book by sharing the Best Blogging Tip. It was from a contest at Kevin Muldoon’s forum. Kevin is the humble owner of Blogging Tips, who was kind enough to allow me to guest post on his blog for four times. Since then, my confidence in sharing blogging tips increased.

By the way, the judge was no less than the Problogger himself, Darren Rowse. It was such a privileged for me to be chosen. Actually, I already got the book some few months ago, but it is unfortunate that I have no time to read it thoroughly. However, I tried to took a peek on it and I would like to share to you some interesting things about it. Read the rest of this entry »

Inspire others, and be useful to them. This is the best strategy so far, even better than search engines and all the social sites you can find.

This is my official entry to Kevin Muldoon’s contest held recently on his Blogging Tips forum, in which the judge was no less than the Problogger himself, Darren Rowse. The contest was quite simple though. Contestants were asked to share his best blogging tip in 140 characters or less.

So what now if I won? Well, the Problogger book may be old to some but still is ageless to me. It was launched last April of this year, with Chris Garrett as the co-author. It has a wide collection of blogging tips of the Problogger, which include the following topics. Read the rest of this entry »

Visitors are the life of our blogs and without them, we are nothing. All of us are trying our best to have visitors especially the unique ones. Some are even spending money just to invite them. But what good is a visitor if he is just passing by? If you are an Entrecard member, you do not want to have plain droppers, don’t you? In addition, your bounce rate will be very high. So if you think you are not convincing them, here are some of my ideas that may help.

Inspire them

It is not enough that you give them what they need. Unlike portals, blogs should contain more than just useful information. Note that most blogs are made by simple individuals and visitors are expecting to learn from others point of view. This is not an easy task because each visitor has different taste. You must find their weak points. Sharing your success stories on your blog with humility is a good example. It is easy to remember someone who can inspire us. Read the rest of this entry »

I am been blogging for more than a year, but I must say that I still have a lot of things to learn. I have been reading a lot by joining some forums and visiting other blogs. But while I am learning, I also learned some dirty tactics or should I say how some bloggers can fool fellow bloggers.

They might be mad at me, but I do not care. All I know is that fellow bloggers especially newbies must be aware about this. Besides copying posts from other blogs and posting them on their own, here are other smart things some foolish bloggers do. Read the rest of this entry »
