Install blogs fast and easy
Yes, you heard it right we are getting ready to release our second upgrade to the popular Easy WP Configuration utility that will save you time in installing and developing wordpress websites.
EasyWPConfig is a utility that generates PHP files for creating wordpress websites.
Creating and installing wordpress is really not that hard, but we have made it even easier.
Get your website Indexed Faster, than the usual suspects and make it stick.
The search engines keep a cache of every web page in their index.
In English, this means: The search engines make a copy of every web page they visit and put in their records… ummm, I think that’s what I mean.
When you use a search engine the results list relevant pages to your search, usually ten results per page.
Each result includes a live “link” to the page, and a “cache” or “snap-shot” of the page, recorded the last time the spider visited that page, at some time in the past.
If you wish to get a website indexed, first you must have a website… preferably a real one that you own, not a “free” website a’ la Geocities etc.
It only costs about $8 to register a domain name, and about $5 a month for cheap hosting, while $10 a month will get you very good quality hosting.
To get indexed fast, I recommend you start a blog on your site. This can be with any blog software, but I think that WordPress is the best…
If you get good quality hosting, it will include cPanel and Fantastico scripts. In fantastico scripts are about 50 scripts you can automatically install on your server with one click… and WordPress is one of them. The alternative is to manually install wordpress yourself.
Once you have built the basic barebones website (Main page, ½ a dozen content pages, and a sitemap linking them together, it’s time to get indexed in the search engines.
You can “submit” your site to the search engines if you wish, but that is too slow.
Here’s where the blog comes into play… post articles or messages to your blog on a daily basis, and don’t miss a day for the first few weeks at least. The posts must be interesting, and relevant to your site.
Configure your blog to automaticlly “ping” the blog directories every time you publish a new post.
Here’s what happens… Google, Yahoo, MSN and the other search engines are always looking for fresh content to serve up to their search visitors or clients, and one place they look for fresh content is in blogs. Search engines absolutely love blogs, because they are dynamic — updated on a regular basis by their owners – as apposed to normal website pages which largely remain static – unchanged for months on end.
If you update your blog every day by adding fresh articles or other content, the search engines will notice, and they will soon be visiting your blog every day like clockwork.
I include a link to my regular website pages by adding a link to either my homepage or sitemap, in the sidebar (menu) of my blog.
The second best thing Search Engines love after fresh content is “links”… they will literally die for links, and if they find a link anywhere that they’ve not seen before, they make a record of it, then follow to to where ever it may lead… and if the link they find is on your blog, youbetter make sure it leads to the sitemap of your website. Double check that it does, by clicking on it after you make
it.
Yahoo and MSN will list your website pages as soon as they visit them, and will usually index them within a few days. As soon as they are indexed, people can find them in search results.
And that’s how easy it is to get indexed fast.
Can you write.
If you can write then you can blog…
publishing your thoughts, that is what most people think that blogging is, but in reality it is really more about creating a place where people can come and not only be entertained, but informed.
Did you know that creating content is something that anyone can do and that with practice you can get really good at it.
Writing is a process, and that process takes several steps.
You may think that the first step of writing is to start putting words on a page, but that is not it at all.
The first step in writing is to do the research, that means that you need to have knowledge of what you are going to be writing about, unless your writing fiction and even then you still need to have research, because that is what makes your writing come alive, realism, is a huge part of writing well.
Now lets talk about getting that realistic, component working for you in your research and how you can do the research.
For example lets say you are writing about a garden, well you may not have to actually have your own garden to be able to write about a garden, however, it really helps immensely, to be able to know what your talking about, growing your own garden and writing about it, is also a process.
Once you have gained some knowledge, and once you have done some research, it is time to put down either on paper or on a text edit page, or wordpad, an outline.
Outlines, work to help you define what your writing about, and that is very important because you could end up talking about things that are not important to your audience and that is very bad, but dont worry if you do that, and every one does, at one time or another, you can work on that skill by editing your work.
Editing.
Now this is one of the hardest things to do, really successful writers, hire an editor, and sometimes fire an editor, but for most of us and yes probably the rest of us, we cant afford to hire someone to help us so we have to do our own editing.
Now that is a little hard to do, but it can be done with practice.
In order to edit, you need to be able to look at what you have written and decide if it need to change, if it needs to flow better, for an example, if you used the wrong tense in a sentence, then you would need to adjust that so you can improve your writing skills, that is what editing is all about.
Be on the look out as we continue to update and produce this series on writing, dont miss a word, because it can be that important to your future, writing…
