Blog And Ping

What is it and how can it help you?

Blogs and ping are the most frequently used words in the IT sector today.

These two words are on everyone’s lips today. So why are blogs and pinging getting so much importance today? Blogs and pinging can get you very good profits in the wrong run. So what exactly are blogs and pinging?

A blog is a website where members can discuss online their views on a particular topic. There are some blogs that are general in nature where people can discuss anything and there are blogs on which you can discuss only on a particular topic. However it is advisable that when you start a blog it should not be generalized but it should be opened on a particular topic. For example instead of starting a blog on the Information Technology you can start a blog only on Microsoft Technologies. There are a lot of blog softwares that you can use on your server and then run it independently.

Blogs are increasingly used for SEO marketing. Through blogs you can advertise your internet site on the blogs. Blog and ping is a process through which you can post a snippet of information from your site to a blog to increase your SEO. When you post snippets of your website information on the blog, search engine sites like Google and Yahoo will find it more easily. The search engine will be able to track your site more easily due to spidering and indexing. You can blog and ping only very important information from your site and not all information. You can also rent links to your site which makes the work of spidering easier for search engines. There were many aggressive marketers before who used to blog and ping all their web pages and that also repeatedly. As a result the search sites termed the individuals spammers and then banned their websites from ranking.

So how is blog and ping done successfully?

The tasks can be easily done with the help of softwares like WordPress and RSS to Blog. Using these softwares you can submit your links to over 50 blog directories at a click of a button. You can download WordPress and RSS to Blog and then install them on your computer. Once you have installed the programs on your computer you should them customize them according to your needs.

The list of blog entries are automatically modified when you make more entries.

Hence we see that blog and ping are one of the best methods to make your website more famous in the search engines. You can use them and also modify their configuration according to your needs.

Ebay new affiliate program ends profitable relationships?

Is this the end for Ebay affiliate programs that used to be profitable?

Looks like a flat line to me, pronounced dead at 1201 am oct 1 2009

May ebay rest in pieces, as commissioned sales flat line across the board.

do you notice how your commissions are gone now?

Why not tell about it we would love to compare notes, and more so if you happen to know a good alternative to ebay because we have taken down all our ebay related advertising.

In the past our network was profitable however with the new affiliate system it appears we will not profit at all, so we went from a good profitable situation to a zero profitable situation, so we will be pulling all of our Ebay partner advertising over the next 2 weeks.

If you find that you also have been eliminated, and can no longer retain profits then you should seriously consider alternate networks that are not so hands on in the process of pushing the little guys out of business.

Here is a previous screen shot of how we profited before the change and below that will be a screen shot of how it looks now, the difference is obvious and it is obvious why this has been done, personally and my opinion only here is that this will hurt Ebay in the long run, a shame really but no surprise when people who have no training make business decisions.

Before

As you can see in the after picture there is nothing under Earnings, this is what we expected, however we wanted to wait, and if there is a change we will post that change, however we feel like the new changes were designed to eliminate small vendors like our network from being profitable, again that is just our opinion and may not be accurate, but so far it sure looks like a bad thing, much like the mistakes that amazon made recently, followed by a drop in revenue, I expect to see a drop in ebay stock and quarterly profits as well.

So why do they get greedy? no one knows for sure but one thing is clear the people in charge at Ebay are not in the right place with regard to vendors and sellers.
