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.

Why Auto Blogging is such a failure

Auto RSS feeds, Auto posting, Auto plugins, Auto this and Auto that, but you know what none of it works, if you have tried it you know what I am saying is true but do you know what it does not work like they say it does?

There is a tendency of the Internet Marketing crowd to blame a products success or failure on the user, this is not only rude and insensitive but it is patently false.

The real truth is that Products fail people.

People do not fail products, now this is not to say that there are not some instances where the user may for what ever reason not be applying themselves to reach a certain goal or they may not try at all, so in these cases then it is fair to say that the user did not do everything a reasonable person would do to be successful at using a product.

However, to generically gather all users into one group and pronounce them as lazy…

As Riddick would say, Bleeping insulting…

Over the last few months Google and several other large search engines have been developing new ways to display search results.  One of the reasons why this has changed so much in the website world is that there were a lot of marginal websites that used scraped content from other websites.

These sites as you may be aware were and are still called auto blogging websites.

Why you should carefully consider the risks associated with using an Auto Blog software.

First what is it?

Well Auto blogging is the practice of using an automated scripting agent to post content to a CMS system.

like word press, but the bad thing is that the content is not unique and it is not original.

The problem with auto blogging is that it does not invite people to want to return and get more content, simply because once they see the content there is little difference between that content and other content in other places on the internet.

There are a number of reasons, why auto blogging does not work well.

The biggest mistake you can make when your talking about creating a website is to turn the lights on and then just leave all the work up to a robot.

The sad thing is that people think that they can make a million bucks by doing nothing.

Do you believe the gurus every time they tell you that if you follow their step by step plan that you too can make a million bucks in ten minutes or less?

Good, because we do not think that they are being honest either.

You know, I sort of feel the same way about this topic as I do these auto surf traffic things, you know where someone logs into a website, and the browser, automatically shows a webpage, which the user does not really see, so a hit is registered, sure perhaps they were useful at some point in the past, but so were ffa pages too right?

But hey that was a long time ago…

So here we go again, with

Auto blogging the practice of programatically, posting to a blog automated content, to make it appear that someone is home and the lights are on, however, in reality, it is all done by robot, there are many such products that claim you can make an income by using this system to generate content, while this may work in some small instances, it is by and large, un productive.

It is mostly a waste of time and money…

So if you are considering buying an auto blog think twice then think again.

Then for sure you will see that auto blogging just does not do what they say it can…

Auto blogging, that is using a program that automatically posts content, to your wordpress blog, is a popular method of loading content into a blog however, it is most often, and we will for the sake of propriety, let us state that we are estimating these figures.

90 percent of the time an auto blog will fail to achieve it end goal, simply because it will starve from a lack of traffic.

Search engines, believe it or dont, can tell when there is no human behind the wheel.

Notice that in the video this guy actually does some work, so the idea that you just set it and forget it, is just not accurate.

Building a website

So you want to create your first website?

You want to make a million bucks in ten mins or less?

Well, forget it, that just will never happen in the real world.

If you have been living in a false reality, then welcome back to earth.

If you want to build a website, then this is the way to go using word press is one of the fastest and most reliable methods of building a web presence.

Creating a website using word press is one of the best methods you can use…

You may have seen some advertisements about how you can have a website tonight, well just remember you get what you pay for, but time is money too right, so yes, if you use word press to setup your website and you spend four hours doing it how much is your time worth to you?

One of the easiest methods of building a website is to use word press, yes almost 90 percent of word press websites are not setup correctly…

Using plugins, setting up the website, posting content, it all takes time and effort.

While there are automatic methods out there all of them fall short of the mark and most of them will get your website sandboxed, or NA.

Check out our plugin website, http://www.wordpressrepost.com

Creating a wordpress website is real as easy as spending about one hour from start to finish.

Using keywords, targeting SEO, linking are just a few of the tasks, setting up plugins, getting them working…

It can be a challenge, however, once you do have it up and running, you can quickly out perform, your competition.

Moving ahead in the search engines, getting that much needed traffic.

It is all part of the game of creating content that works for the search engines.

SEO why buying links is bad

You hear it all the time, your website needs back links, but what happens when you do buy those back links?

You can even search for it on google, but google will do some allegedly bad things to websites that engage in link buying and selling.

I see people selling links on forums all the time, and at first it might seem like something that would be a good idea, but sadly, it is not, because, google can tell

Don’t Do it, because you might get banned.

if the links are natural or if they are coming from websites that as a matter of course sell links.

You see this all the time, the offering of links for sale.

So what is wrong with it, it works, you get traffic and its cool, well almost.

The problem is that you only get a temporary lift in your traffic then you usually get banned by Search Engines.

I just have to shake my head in wonderment, because you may fool some of the search engines some of the time, but you will not fool all of the search engines all of the time.

So what is the trade off here, if you buy links, your bad, and your website gets hit with a google, slap down from hades, and if you dont, google ignores you, sort of a catch 22 right, well perhaps there may be a middle ground….

Every where you look these days you see people selling links, can I say, dont do that…

It is possibly the worst thing you can do for your website.

You may have seen some of the hundreds of link services that are available these days, you can find them on every street corner, however it is a very bad thing, to do because you will get hit with a penalty and that penalty is basically putting your website into a grave which is something you do not want to do.

Buying links is easy fast and convenient however the search engines always figure it out, because it shows up as a pattern and once they identify that pattern, anyone associated with that pattern is then guilty.

For instance I have a friend that had a nice PR2 website and they wanted to get it up to a 3, so they thought they could buy links to do this, so the next thing you know they had a NA for a PR, once that happens it is almost impossible to get out of that status, so even though you may be tempted to take the short cut, do not do it because it will cost you in the long run so much more than you can imagine.

Ebay clicks is it robbing you of commissions

Will Ebay change its affiliate program or will they continue to allegedly

change the way that your commissions are determined?

its drastic and the news is out the result allegedly is a huge cut in affiliate commissions.

This is bad business and it is bad for business, just bad all the way around.

If you google, the word bad ebay commissions, you will find some disturbing news.


It looks doubtful one thing for sure, many people have jumped the Ebay ship because of the drastic changes they made in the affiliate program, in fact for the most part thousands went from making money to making nothing…

——————————————————————————————-

Well the results is in, the new Ebay pay for clicks is an alleged failure.

at least in our tests, it fails, for a number of reason, the least of which is metrics, but more importantly, what did they do?

Well it is obvious to us at least they took the focus from buying activities to clicking activities, and that was well just plain stupid.

We say that was stupid because you can literally spend all day clicking and never buy a thing, it is the buyers that make all the difference.

not the clickers, but ebay in yet another alleged stupid move, changed every thing up once again, and they paid an alleged very big price for doing so, but hey dont take our word for it, take a look at the cold hard numbers…

we have to ask this because it appears that this is indeed the end result, it may not have been the desired result, (cough, cough) but yes this is what it did, why change it all up, because what you see below is a result of the new “better” ebay system, I for one an looking for a better program…
