Passionate Blogging Works

October 14, 2008 By Sherry Tingley

Have you ever wondered why some blogs become wildly successful while other blogs become ghost towns that no one visits?

In a recent interview on Breakfast Television, expert blogger John Chow was asked what is the biggest mistake that new bloggers make when they start blogging. His response was that it is a big mistake to start blogging just for the money. He recommends doing a blog just for fun.

When people start blogging just for the money, they neglect the passionate side of themselves. People like to read good content from others who are passionate about their topic. Choosing something to write about that you feel a lot of passion for basically makes the job, well, not a job. John said, If you are passionate about it, it’s not really work, is it?

Blogging experts reveal their blogging tips

October 1, 2008 By Sherry Tingley

Learning To Blog Class Sessions

One of the fun things about going to BlogWorld Expo 2008 was listening to expert bloggers reveal their personal blogging tips and tell us how they make money with blogging.  Jim Kukral lead a question answer session with four very successful bloggers, Brian Clark, Zac Johnson , Darren Rowse  and for a brief time Jeremy Shoemaker.

Each guest was asked questions about what made their blog successful and what they recommended to others who are starting out a new blog.  They discussed issues such as which programs were making them the most money, whether Google Adsense was really Webmaster Welfare, and what topics are the best to blog about. They talked about how long it takes to establish a good blog and what to expect from your blog at the beginning.  All of them agreed that you need to have a passion for the topic you are going to be blogging about to avoid the dreaded “abandoned blog.”

Blog World Expo 2008
Blog World Expo 2008

BlogWorld Expo 2008 was held last weekend, Sept. 19-21, 2008, in Las Vegas, U.S.A. More than 200 expert presenters in the field of blogging and internet businesses spoke at the 2nd annual Blogging Convention.

With so many great presentations, the hardest thing about attending the conference was being able to decide which speakers to listen to.

The conference started off with Richard Jalichandra of Technorati presenting the State of the Blogosphere.  Technorati.com allows users to submit their blogs and provides people with a system of tracking their blog popularity.

This may take some time, but it’s worth it to get a global picture of the sphere of your influence.

You can log all of your favorite addresses and then click on satellite view.

Keyword Strategies for WordPress

September 7, 2008 By Sherry Tingley

Keyword strategies are becoming easier to create with new tools available to WordPress bloggers and to individual web site owners.  Ranking on the first page of Google results is not as difficult as you might think. With a little research and some good strategies in place, you can do quite well.

A keyword tool that is popular among many website developers is the  Word Tracker Free Keyword Tool. You will find that it does the brainstorming for you by giving you alternate suggestions for other keyword phrases.

A tool you can easily use to help you determine which keywords to focus on is listed below:

Search engine optimization using good keyword strategies will help your site gain top positions on Google, MSN and Yahoo search engines. Just this weekend I tested some keywords for my site. I logged in to my Google Webmaster Tools account and found out that I was getting traffic from a variety of key words that I wasn’t aware of.

The keyword results are listed below:

Key Word Date Position Number of Page Results
loved by many 9/7/2008 7 135,000,000
word mortgage 9/7/2008 18 26,200,000

places to advertise a wordpress blog 9/7/2008 1 356,000
blog submission plugin 9/7/2008 1 194,000

WordPress is extremely search engine friendly and with a Google Webmaster Tools account you can look up your results quickly and easily.

A very good key word strategy to use is to add a little hittail code to your site.  www.hittail.com has a service that will track every keyword people use to get to your site with and it will create a long tail key word list for you, listing up to 300 key words. All of this is done with one line of code.

Another very useful site for overall search engine optimization is at: http://www.webconfs.com/
They host 20 powerful key word tools free for anyone to use, so be sure to take advantage of them.

With all the good key word tools available for WordPress bloggers and web site owners, there are numerous opportunities for you to rank high in the search engines.

If you have a tool you like to use, please suggest one.
