HTML 5 Video

Two features that make html 5 a big consideration for the average user.

Media playback and offline storage.

Simple HTML tags, like “<video>” and “<audio>”  you can do this with no additional plugins required, which is sort of a bad news thing for some software vendors that have produced a poor interface for years dependent upon an overpriced software product that only corporations can usually afford.

file formats, what is in a file and how does it make a difference?

One thing is that Ogg format is free and H.264 is not free…

HTML 5 is drag and drop, ) right out of the box.

Managing files by dragging and dropping them into place is something that is a real time saver.

Now the down side, as there almost always is, all that glitters is not gold.

The problem with the beauty of HTML 5 is that for the most part, it has been reported that firefox is the better browser for this new standard.

Typically Microsoft is behind the learning curve (allegedly) coming in dead last, in its latest version of its Internet browser.

So with the latest and greatest technology still sitting around waiting for the browsers to play catchup it may be some time before that happens.

Auto Blogging why it fails every time.

Concept blogging, is all about finding a niche and producing content that people want to read.

Managing content is not easy, it is not push button, it involves working and doing research…

however, developing this type of blog could hurt your business more than help, learn more about that now.

The use of Auto blogs, has been very popular for about the last 4 years.

Google may be about to start targeting more marginal websites, could auto blogs be next

The number one thing to remember when thinking about developing a website is not what to put on your site but what not to put.

Why Auto blogs just do not work and why you should avoid using them.

About every day on Flippa you can see an autoblog for sale, sometimes the websites go for a few bucks but more and more we are seeing a decline in the perceived value of what auto blogging actually is.

The lights are on but no one is home, sounds like an old song, well it is, and like the song, auto blogging is just the same way the lights are on but no one is at home and google knows it too, dont think they dont.

The reasons are numerous but it all comes down to just one thing.

Are you willing to operate a website?

It is not about the website or the design it is all about the material and the content.

If no one sees it they will not come…

If the lights are on but no one is home, you cannot sell anything.

The simple truth about auto blogging is this if the light are on but no one is home, they just will not come.

The tragedy of the auto blog is that it can never succeed.

Imagine an ant hill, where all the ants did the same thing every day, they eat the same food every day, they listen to the same music every day, never a change, always a grey existence that never changes, that is what most websites are like these days, they just sit there withering away because no one is really visiting them, they are like that ant hill, full of ants, but for the most part no one in the entire world knows about those ants so they go about their lives, oblivious to the rest of the world.

That is what an Auto blog is like, an ant hill where everyone is busy busy busy, but no one knows about them…

Are you lazy?  If you are thats ok, lots of very successful are lazy, but there is one big difference.

They work smart, lazy but smart…

Chances are  you have seen these, ads that promise the moon for the auto blogging life style, the set it and forget it mind set.

But guess what, you already know, it does not work at all.

There are so many of these auto blogging platforms, from WordPress to literally more than you can imagine, each one claiming that they can give you what no one else can deliver.

The truth is that Auto Blogging does not work…

Perhaps that is not what you wanted to hear, but sadly it is the truth, I ran several blogs manually, posting every single day sometimes 10 to 12 times a day, sometimes more. I was able to achieve some success, I started getting some traffic, I started making a little from affiliate commissions, like ebay and amazon and yes even adsense.

But then I made a huge mistake, I got lazy…

I started looking for an easier way to do the same thing and get me here there is nothing wrong with that ok, but and here is where I went wrong, you have to know that what you are doing is the right thing to do.

My mistake, cost me several High PR website ratings.

I paid more than $150 for an auto blogging platform, which was reputed to be better than anything out there, it was touted to work when everything else failed to work, but after loosing my PR ratings where I used this auto-blogging platform, I finally realized what I had done wrong, I trusted what someone else told me, just so they could make a few bucks.

So actually I spent a lot of money trying out different systems, I even tried paying a Virtual Assistant to post for me so I could see if that would work, but sadly that too failed, because I found that you have to have at least some interest in what you are posting about.

If you have ever had a good PR ranking then you know how important it can be to building your level of success, because once you get one good ranking, you can use that to link to lower ranked blogs and in turn improve their rankings, it really is a building block to your success.

There may be a few that are successful with auto blogging, but so far I have not see the first one that can say they are successful for more than 30 to 60 days, because, I saw some good traffic in that period, but after that it all went bad, and then it went from bad to worse.

So why does auto blogging software fail to achieve what the people selling them claim?

One of the most important things you can do for your blog is to give it that human touch and that is not often easy to do with automated software, the reason for this is that every single one of these auto blogging software solutions, leaves behind a trail, usually it is something small, like the same type of formatting post after post.

It is this trail that alerts the search engines that something is not right about the blog you might wonder why it matters, all I can tell you is that it does matter and it matters a lot, because you can go from a great rank to no rank and you can go from great traffic to no traffic and that is definitely not what you want.

So the next time you see an auto blogging software special and you read about how you can just set it up once and just forget it, just remember that you read it here, it is a waste of your money and unless you plan on monitoring and baby sitting your blog, you will never see any measurable success.

Using social book marking

Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, digg,

Are you wasting your time with these social bookmarking websites?
and Does it really work?

How effective is it, if you spent hours and hours trying to get back links would it really benefit your website?

Can you really achieve SEO goals using social websites?

Finding the best way to generate back links

using social marketing.

Do you use Social sites like twitter and facebook to produce back links to your websites, and if you do how effective is it?

Do you book mark, if not you should did you know that for every min you spend working on natural linking you can benefit your website ten fold, now that is a big deal, take a look around, we have PDF, information, Video, and even free software, if a man or woman wants to get ahead in this world all they have to do is read, or fish, and the fishing pole is right here.

Are you tired of working for hours every day and never getting ahead…

———————————————————->

Have you book marked until you fingers bleed and still you dont get the results they claim you will get?

Are you tired of all the promises and all the work but no results…

Staying up to date can be a daunting task, in fact, it can be an all day task, writing, posting, and more, but the question remains.

Is it Worth it?

If you are like most marketeers today, your time is limited, in fact we are all faced with that issue, Time is a limited resource.

If you could have back one hour for each day of your life you have wasted, would you not be wealthy beyond all imagination…

Do you spend a lot of time trying to develop linking to and from your wordpress blogs?

Linking and SEO how it all works, we all know that this is one of the best ways to create more traffic but how often do we act on that information, how often are you tempted to just buy those links, well let me tell you that it is not a good idea, to buy links, never do it, even if you think you know what you are doing…

Everyone says that you need to use social book marking to help out your websites and for the most part they are very right, but how do you really get out there and do it, and keep up with all the information you need in order to login and take advantage of this type of book marking and linking?  Well there are a lot of interesting systems out there but for sure there are no easy solutions, because experts warn that using a book marking service can be harmful to your back links plans.

One method which apparently does work well is to join a co-op where members help each other book mark content.

Now that is a good idea, slow steady growth of social book marking links is a great way to push your website with much less risk than using any paid services, which is odd in so many ways, because with google, they will rather quickly charge you for services, but if you pay someone else for a service look out they will blast your website to he double tooth picks.

So doing social work with other web masters can really help you.

Blogging and writing

Developing good website content is more than just the sum of its parts, it is much more.

Do you blog and write copy online?

Are you constantly challenged with how to create compelling content?

Creative thinking is all about what you can do with the time you have in a day.

Generating unique valuable content.

Producing content is a full time job.

The more you blog, the more traffic you can get.

The more you write, the better your website will become.

How much time do you spend writing every day?

An hour, Two, Five?

Tempus edax rerum – Time is the devourer of things

You could say it devours everything. . .

If you are like most people you only have so much time to get your work done during the day and if you are like even more people you work a second job, in addition to the main work that you do.

In these challenging times, one of the most important things you can do for your self is to make the most of every moment you have to blog and write effectively.

Getting the most out of your time spent blogging.

Do you enjoy writing and producing content and

How much time do you think you need to spend in order to really keep web site visitors interested?

You know what takes the most time and energy is keeping your website updated and running smoothly.

What do you do when you write, do you just put down a few words or have you not done anything to your blog for months?

Is your website optimized for getting the attention of the search engines?

Are you doing everything you can to create a successful website experience for your visitors?

Do you have a plan to achieve success in your business?

How much time do you spend working online?

Do you blog on a regular basis, if so how much time do you spend blogging, 10 min a day, 30 min a day, an hour?

Literally it could be a full time job and for most people there is little or no reward at all, low traffic counts makes it difficult to find the right balance and mix of content, these days it is not just about writing, though that is important, but also about media, videos, audio, pictures, and more.

There are literally hundreds of social book marking systems, out there, which ones do you spend your precious time using?

Stats, tell us that for every one successful blogger there are literally ten thousand that are not successful.

So how do you stay ahead of the curve, how do you keep up with the jones, of the internet world?

That may be harder than it sounds, but one thing for sure is that you keep on working you keep on adding content to your blog, and you keep on keeping on, you dont quite, which is what 90 percent of bloggers do, they quite.

For one reason or another, they get tired of working for hours and hours and accomplishing little or nothing in the way of recognition.

It makes sense really and it is understandable after all it is not for everyone, but for those that manage to get the ingredients just right and the magic happens, it can be a lot of fun, so keep on, you never know when you might just be right around the corner from success.
