| Page Rank and Inbound Links |
| 2007-08-16 02:39:01 |
One of the problems with people who are in the business of blogging is that they do not understand Rank">page rank. They have a vague idea that Google wants lots of inbound links. At first they generate dozens, then realize that Google counts very few of these - and stop.
Unfortunately, they do not realize that it may take several weeks - to months for Google to actually apply the pagerank to their...

| PageRank: Link Words |
| 2007-08-16 02:39:01 |
In the last article I linked you to a website that talked about pagerank. Part 2 of that article also talked about internal linkes. A lot of bloggers and web owners never think of putting links inside their website to their home page (to increase its web rank). You may also want to make 'promo blogs' These are blog posts that you actively build inbound links to - from inside your site - and from...

| Why Blog Daily |
| 2007-08-16 02:39:01 |
We wrote a course that helps bloggers learn how to make $1000 a month. Basically, this number is not high when it comes to blogging. I personally know a blogger who works part time, about 15 hours a month, and makes $1500 - That is $100 an hour.
We've been talking about increasing pagerank to get more money from Google, and to increase hits. But, we are bloggers, so the blogsphere offers us...

| Why Post Often |
| 2007-08-16 02:39:01 |
Bloggers are consistently told that they should blog daily. Most of us do not have the time to do that, even if they cross post articles between their different blogs.
What the articles do not tell new bloggers is why they should blog daily. There is a lot of competition out there. Each blogger wants readers and wants hits. Most of this traffic will come through 'pings.' Unfortunately, very few...

| You Can Get Mega Hits on Your blog |
| 2007-08-16 02:39:01 |
It always amazes me how people appreaciate good writing, whether it appears on a blog, in an article, or in a novel. The thing is, anyone can write well. You can write something that receives hundreds, even thousands of views. You can write a novel that sells thousands of copies. The secret is to write something that people want to read, by writing about life.
Take a look at two blog posts I...

| Page Rank the Easy Way |
| 2007-08-16 02:38:33 |
There is an easy/cheap way to increase your Rank">page rank, but it will take a year or two. The best plan is to submit to every directory possible. Eventually, most of those blog directories will increase in rank, as they do, their PR value will increase.
Submit a link and it is submitted forever. Directories do not work like search engiens. They do not dump old sites, and wait to see who resubmits...

| Page Rank - Buying Directory Links |
| 2007-08-16 02:34:55 |
I spent most of today linking to directories. I did use one service that submitted my site to 250 PR3 and PR4 sites, but I am not sure yet if it is a scam. I will bet $30 against that. 250 links in 10 minutes is a good deal. But, most sites demand a link-back - I'll let you know if I received any value for my money.
There is a trick to paying for links. Remember that Google ranks Pages not...

| Blog Writing: Getting Started |
| 2007-08-09 00:31:11 |
The life of a writer appears to have many perks. The uninitiated envisions us working in our pajamas while writing fluff about far away places, beautiful people, and spectacular adventures. After chuckling, we patiently explain how many hours it can take to research an article, or the number of times an article is submitted before it sells.
We possess an intangible element, which prevents us...

| New Google Toolbar |

Have you downloaded the new Google tool bar. If not, you will probably do so after reading this post. I put the toolbar on my new system, and just copied over the old system, on my other computer. Both methods worked.
The toolbar you want is the Google Toolbar 2008

This includes a spyware software package that cleared 271 trackers and 4 malwar from my son's computer. It also...

| Beware of Google AdSense Clicks |
| 2007-07-25 20:44:06 |
There are a few things that new bloggers must realize with Google AdSense. The idea of clicking friend's ads, or asking people to click yours, may sound interesting - after all - who knows.
The truth is - Google does. They can track any web site visit, its duration, where it came from, how many pages each visitor viewed, what links they clicked, and now long they were on the next site.

Running an online business is frustrating. I know that there are several people here running IT businesses that can add their own horror stories to this blog post.
Building a web platform (website) on a software program that promises to do 10 times what you need, and then only produces half of what you need - and that is with continual updates, bug reports, and a multitude of widgets and plug...

| Compare Web Hosting Services |
| 2007-07-24 20:13:40 |
One question most new web owners tackle is the hosting problem. Trust me, I've been on every level. From buying into a great marketing campaign, only to find that the company is a reseller and doesn't know what they are doing, to owning virtual server space and hiring a programmer to run things (expensive!).
I've been through several hosting companies. Now I use siteground. I can host all of my...

My entire time committment has been about 100 hours - maybe 8 hours a month. Usually, Helium is where I go when I am between projects and have a down time.

| Making Your Blog Template Look Right |
| 2007-07-23 01:49:25 |
Sometimes a blog page doesn't look right. You may have put three scripts into the HTML box on blogger, or onto your web page code.
One problem bloggers face when adding their blog to directories is that they get long lists of blog names. This is okay if the code is at the bottom of the page, but not if it is in the sidebar (the menu at the side of the page).
This problem can also mess up a...

There are many directories where bloggers need to submit their blogs if they want to increase their PR and their hits. Most of these come and go regularly. Others, stand our among the crowd and actually do what they were meant to do - help bloggers increase their rank.
I use several, but the first one I am going to talk about is blog catalog

The net is becoming a social network. If you want to make money then you need to start making lenses. There are a few good places to put a lens. Many people wait for months (with no hits or money) before they click on the link and make a lens.

One of the best advertising programs is the sponsored search. This is where the advertiser buys the top spot on the search engine search results. Take a look, The cost is from $5 - $100 a month, per keyword, and if the combination of your blog/products and the keyword is right -the results will be ten times more than you invest.
This is a great way to make money before you are receiving big...

| Why You Should Continually Revisit Your Old Blog Posts |

A lot of people wonder where I learned all the advanced SEO tips and tricks that I know. simply - I took an accredited course and learned from pros. Of course, most freelance writers do not have the money to invest in 1 - 3 SEO courses a year.
I hear many people complain. Those who have smaller versions of inspiredauthor.com always complain that they do not have time to learn. Of course, if they...

There are hundreds of stat counters on the web. However, I like using http://my7.statcounter.com You'll notice it on this page. It works great with the new blogger 'add page element/HTML' feature. Just open the box and add the code. After saving the counter will appear on the page.
They have a wonderful counter wizard that lets you change a few dozen different colors and layouts. If you do...

The best spell check tool is the one you can download with the Google toolbar.
Downloading the toolbar, and installing the spell check, will enable you to spell check any text box on your screen.
However, it is still important to write all your blog posts in a word doc and transfer them to the web. This is the only way to manage your posts and cross posts, and protect you if the blog host...

| The Pros and Cons of Blogging Communities |
| 2007-07-19 05:20:58 |
There are advantages of blog communities. They receive lots of hits, and have an inherent promotion aspect. The trick is to find a good one. No professional blogger needs to be reminded of the lesson learned from writingup, or should I say the now defunct writingup.
Out of the ashes, and managed by a different host, came www.communati.com. This blog, and www.bloggerparty.com are two...

It took about three hours for a new mentor to start a Google AdSense account today, and start 5 blogs at blogger. She isn't worried about tagging, feeds, or the perks yet.
She did buy her own domain, something I do not suggest you do. But, if you want a private domain, then go to www.godaddy.com and get one. Then phone their customer service and ask for help. Godaddy is a great company, one of...

Diva Network started a forum at yahoo groups. This forum is designed to give bloggers a chance to increase their PR. This group is cash free, but will involve a time investment each month.
Bloggers will need to tag 1 post from at least 10 blogger's blogs. This means, if a blogger has 20 blogs in the site, and there are 30 bloggers in the group. You need to tag with del.icio.us, digg, technorati...

Like all buzz words, Social Media, is really nothing new. It merely is the new word encompassing blogs, podcast, video/youtube, forums, and java chats. That said, it is one of the most powerful weapons a woman owns.
Face it ladies. We are beautiful. With a little poise and artistic creativity, we can use all of these tools to our benefit. Even if we do not like the camera, the Internet is...

| Seven Years Ago |
| 2007-07-13 07:46:22 |
Seven years ago I said goodbye to working outside of the home. The frustration of working for someone with half my education, and making one tenth of their pay, empowered me to leave my job, and to repeat the cliche' I've never looked back.
I've met so many other women since then who have left high paying jobs to work in a world, free of men, free of politics, and free of abuse. Each of these...
