Picking The Best Free Blogging Site

Choosing a free blogging site can feel overwhelming
because there are so many options. There are several
large free blog-hosting sites that dominate the
blogosphere, but there are also smaller sites. Whether
you decide to join up with an established site like
blogger or whether you choose to sign on with a
relatively new venture depends on what your priorities
are.

Reliability is perhaps the best reason to opt for a large
and well known free blogging site. When you choose to
have an established brand host your blog, you can feel
secure that your blog will not crash often and will not
disappear in the middle of the night. A company that
has been around for a while is likely to have the
resources to make sure that its clients aren't
unpleasantly surprised by any technical glitches.
However, many bloggers decide that this isn't enough
of a selling point. The bloggers who choose to go with
smaller, newer blog hosting sites do so for a variety of
reasons, but perhaps the number one advantage is a
fairly abstract one. Bloggers tend to relish the fact that
the internet is a place where the underdog has a strong
chance of success, and by choosing to have a small
company as a blog host, a blogger is casting his or her
vote for David against Goliath.

Learning How to Make Money Blogging

There are two major types of business models that
entrepreneurs use to make money blogging. The first
and most common way to turn a blog into a profit
making machine is to sell advertising to different
companies and brands who want to reach that blog's
readers. The second kind of money making blog is one
that helps a single brand improve its image by creating
positive associations between the blog and the product
in the mind of consumers. Both kinds of blogs can
make a lot of money, especially if the creator has a keen
mind for marketing.

If you are blogging with the goal of selling advertising,
there are two basic ways that you can go about
recruiting sponsors who want to put ads on your site;
you can let someone else do all of the legwork, or you
can do the work yourself and keep all of the revenue.
Within the first group, many people make money
blogging by selling space through Google's AdSense
program. The advantages of this program are numerous,
as it requires very little effort on the part of the blogger
or webmaster to begin raking in profits. However, most
people discover that they make less money through this
method than they had hoped that their blog would earn.

Selling advertising directly to companies who want to
put banner ads or sponsored links on your blog can take
quite a bit of time, but it is often fairly lucrative. If you
have a lot of contacts in industries that are related to the
topic of your blog, you may want to try to go this route.
People who have a strong background in sales and are
experienced at pitching proposals can make quite a bit
of money by renting blog space to interested companies.
The most serious problem with this model is that you
often have to build quite a sizable readership before you
can attract advertisers, which can mean that you have to
do several months of work before you start to make
money blogging.

As blogging becomes a more and more lucrative
business, a lot of established companies are considering
how they can get into the action. One way that
companies are capitalizing on the blog movement is by
having blogs that provide a kind of friendly face for
their corporation. Often, a company will employ an
established blogger to create a weblog designed
specifically to appeal to that company's customers and
to create positive associations with the brand in
consumers' minds. More than one writer who never
even dreamed that he or she could make money
blogging has been approached by a company and
offered quite a pretty penny for this kind of gig.  

If You are Already Blogging, Money May be Just a Click Away

If you already spend a fair amount of time blogging,
money may come to you literally as soon as you ask for
it. Once you have an established blog with a regular
readership, it is easy to turn a profit through advertising.
By hosting sponsored links or banners, you can see
income from your hobby almost overnight. Even if you
did not start your blog intending to turn a profit, making
supplementary income from your blog may be easier
than you think.

Of course, even for people who have spent months or
years blogging, money from advertising revenue may
not add up to a large sum. The amount of money that
you can make as a blogger depends on a lot of different
factors, but perhaps the most important element of the
equation is the topic of your blog. If your blog is on a
subject that appeals to a demographic that advertisers
have a strong desire to reach, you will be more likely to
be able to turn a large profit on your blog than if your
blog is on a fairly obscure subject that does not draw
the kind of audience that advertisers need to appeal to.
Of course, the only way to find out where you fall on
this spectrum is to try hosting some ads. If you are
already blogging, you have nothing to lose. 

Blogging News Stories as They Happen

Blogging news stories as they unfold is one of the most
exciting and controversial applications of technology
that bloggers have discovered. One thing that makes the
blogosphere so active is the fact that it is possible to
update a blog instantaneously, so the news on blogs
tends to be more current than the news in the paper, or
on television. Unlike news delivered by these other
media, news that appears on blogs does not have to
travel through a series of editors and administrators
before it reaches the public eye. This has some
advantages, and some distinct disadvantages.

One of the most notable cases of news hitting a blog
before appearing in other media took place in July 2005
when terrorism struck London. As passengers were
evacuated from a subway car near an explosion, one
man took several photographs of the scene with his
cellular phone, and within an hour these images were
posted online. First-person accounts of the catastrophe
began appearing on blogs soon after these photos
appeared, and people all over the world learned about
the events in London by reading the words and seeing
the photos posted by bloggers.

The fact that these stories and images were being spread
directly by individuals operating without the added
filter of a reporter helped to make the crisis feel very
immediate to people across the globe. When it comes to
blogging, news often appears in a very personal context.
This has the potential to be the beginning of an exciting
new era of reporting, one that takes "New Journalism"
to it's logical next step by putting the power to shape
how the news is written and read directly into the hands
of the public.

Many bloggers and cultural commentators who are
champions of the weblog movement feel that this
growing trend of individuals who getting their news
from blogs is a good thing, because it makes the flow of
information more democratic. By decentralizing the
control of news, blogs allow more voices to enter the
field of debate about important current events.
However, many people are adamantly opposed to the
use of blogs as news outlets, and there are plenty of
good arguments on this side of the debate. Unlike
newspapers or television stations, few blogs have fact-
checkers, and there is little attention paid to journalistic
accountability on many blogs. This can lead to the rapid
spread of misinformation, and more than one falsehood
has taken the blogosphere by storm. The questions
about whether blogging news as it happens is ethical or
not are very complicated, but no matter where you stand
on the topic of current events blogs you are almost sure
to agree that this movement has the potential to
revolutionize how modern people get their news.

Blogging for Profit Begins With a Long Term Plan

Many people dream of blogging for profit, and this goal
is not far beyond the reach of someone with average
intelligence, a willingness to work hard, and a basic
grasp of blogging technology. However, very few
people manage to reap the profits they want from their
blog. Most people who attempt to make money with
their blogs do not succeed for two reasons. Often,
bloggers have unrealistic expectations of how fast their
readership will grow and how much money they will
make, and when these expectations are not met the
disappointment can crush the desire to continue
blogging. The other trap that many bloggers fall into
has to do with lack of planning. If you want to turn a
profit as a blogger, the key to success is to make a
realistic plan and stick with it.

To succeed at blogging for profit, the main thing that
you will need is a large readership. The higher your
traffic, the more advertisers will agree to pay you.
However, cultivating the regular visitors that you will
need in order to make a profit isnt easy. As more and
more blogs appear each day, having a great idea or a
wonderful writing style is no longer enough to get
attention. You need to be able to market your blog
effectively.

Too many bloggers spend all of their time writing posts
and almost no time marketing their project. To be
certain, updating as often as you can is a great way to
keep your blog high on blogrolls and high in blog
search engines like technorati, and once your readers
know that you update frequently they will return to your
site on a regular basis. However, it does not matter how
often you update if nobody is reading your page, so dont
skimp on the time that you spend drawing visitors to
your site. To make your dreams of blogging for profit a
reality, try decreasing your number of posts and using
some of that time to draw new visitors by setting up
link exchanges with other bloggers, making contacts in
the blog community, and following other established
modes of winning traffic.

Of course, even if you are a marketing genius or have a
really great idea for a blog, success is not going to
happen overnight. Building the kind of readership that
blogging for profit requires takes time, and in all
likelihood it will be at least several months before you
are able to turn much of a profit. Try to stay committed
to your blogging project during this initial rough period.
To stay motivated, set goals for how often you will
update and how many readers you want to attract, and
then reward yourself for sticking with your plan.

Social Bookmarking for Blog Advertising

Social bookmarking sites are a growing trend and are
becoming more popular each and every day. They are a
great place to share your bookmarks with everyone and
to be able to access them from any computer. They are
also a great place that you can post a link to your
blog.

There are over fifty social bookmarking sites that you
use to submit your link to your blog. Digg, Digo, Blue
Dot, and del.ico.us are just a few of them that are
the most popular. Each site has its own guidelines and
rules for posting links, so it's important that you
want to read the rules that they have before you post
any links.

Because social bookmarking isn't as targeted as other
forms of advertising for your blog, you may find hta
tit will take longer for it to be effective. But it's
also a good way for you to get your blog noticed and
it may bring in people who may not have found your
blog another way.

Since social bookmarking doesn't always give you the
opportunity to know who it is that has seen your site,
or get to know other people, it's always a good idea
to keep track of the visitors who say they were linked
to your site through a bookmarking site. If the site
allows you to put a comment, ask people to let you
know on your blog that they found it through a social
bookmarking site and which one. That will help you
know how effective it is.

Blogger Forums - A Great Place To Advertise Your Blog

No matter what type of blog that you have, one of the
best places that you can advertise your blog is to
join a blogger forum. After all, everyone who posts
there has a blog and thats the main subject.

It's a great place to meet other bloggers and to
advertise your blog.

There are quite a few blogger forums that you can sign
up for on the Internet. One is known as Bloggeries,
where you can show off your blog, get your blog
reviewed or review other blogs, and find lots of tools
that you can use for your own blog.

Another good place to go is to Blog Forum.

Blog Forum, like Bloggeries, has spots for you to
market and show off your blog,

Blogger forums are a great place to advertise because
everyone in them are of the same mind and want to make
certain that their blogs get noticed and read.

If you use your blog to advertise something that you
are selling, or you want to get a lot of traffic to
your blog in order to make money, you want to go
someplace where it can get exposure.

When you advertise on a blog forum, you know that you
are placing your advertisement in a place where
blogging is something that people enjoy.

Just remember when you are posting to a forum to read
the rules and abide by them. That way you'll get your
blog noticed and you will know that you are doing the
right thing.

Setting Your Own Blog Advertising Rates

Sooner or later, you will be faced with the decision

of whether to use advertising on your blog or not.

Advertising isn’t mandatory for keeping your blog

interesting; in fact, it's merely an optional tool you

can use in case you want to take advantage of your

blog's popularity. But once you've decided on placing

ads on your site, there's one more issue you need to

consider: setting your blog's advertising rates. So

how much can you expect to charge or be charged?



With blog advertising, there are no set rates. It is

up to the blogger to design the correct ad payment

scheme that attracts advertisers and allow him to

generate a reasonable income at the same time.



To help you determine the right advertising rates for

your blog, it's important to consider doing some

research first, particularly about similar blogs and

to consider your traffic and perform some simple

experimentation using your site.



Playing with figures If you think that setting your ad

rates at low prices will attract more advertisers, you

couldn’t be more mistaken. Your $300 a month rate may

not stand against another blogger's $600 a month rate

if you only have 50,000 page views monthly and he

enjoys 600,000 page views.



An advertiser will look at the ratio between the cost

of advertising on your blog against the amount of

traffic that your site generates, the same traffic

that will potentially click on the ads.



A good 'constant' to consider when determining ad

rates is the CPM or Cost-Per-Mille - mille being

equivalent to 1,000. Let's say a blog receives 150,000

page views monthly. For a 125x125 sidebar ad (usually

the most common), the blog charges $250 monthly.

Divide $250 by 150 (that's 150,000 divided by 1,000 to

come up with the CPM) and you'll get $1.66 CPM.



The same arithmetic is used by some of the most

popular blogs, including JohnChow and Copyblogger. For

your blog, you might want to consider how much traffic

you generate and the number of genuine page views you

get. These figures will help you evaluate your blog

and come up with the appropriate ad rate.



Since these blogs are well established, you could

start at far lower rates if you're still building

traffic. Consider a starting figure of about $0.5 CPM,

which is friendly enough to your advertisers and good

enough for you. Raise this rate gradually as your blog

becomes more popular and as more advertisers and

sponsors buy ad space from you.



Size and location Advertising rates also vary

depending on the size of the ad and where it will

appear. Larger ads and those that will be placed in

prime locations or 'hotspots' will cost more. Ads will

also be more expensive if they will appear along with

content or on your blog's header. Cheaper locations

will be those found on the page's footer and the area

located after the fold.



Factors that influence ad rates Not every blog can

enjoy strong advertising support. That's mainly

because not every blog has the right amount of site

traffic, the right visitors, market demographics or

niche. These are just some of the factors that affect

your eligibility for ad placement and the rate you can

charge on your blog.



Blogs, by the way, do not pass through the same

channels as traditional print media. The cost of

providing information in blogs is low enough that

bloggers can offer low advertising rates and still

earn a profit.

Choosing The Right Free Blogging Tools

There are many free blogging tools on the market, but
loading up your blog with all of the free accessories that
you can find isn't necessarily a good idea. While it may
be tempting to add a visitor counter, a flashy
background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of
quirky animated gifs to your blog, this kind of plan can
easily backfire. The key to getting the most from free
blog tools is being selective.

It is a great idea to learn about all of the kinds of free
blogging tools that are available so that you can make
an informed decision about what to add to your blog,
but try to remember that just because you can have
something doesn't mean that you need it. Practice
restraint and only choose the options that you think will
really be useful. If you can find out how many visitors
are reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics,
a visitor counter is likely to add unnecessary clutter to
your page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy
background can be more of a distraction than an benefit.
Be realistic about assessing what kinds of blog
accessories will help you realize your vision and
improve your site. Remember that even a blog tool that
doesn't cost you any cash may not be an asset in the
long run.

Blogging: Consolidation, Debt, and New Information Technology

If you are interested in blogging, consolidation, debt, and
other financial topics are sure to appear in many of the
blogs that you regularly read. Techniques to make and
manage money are some of the most popular topics for
bloggers to explore on the web, so it is little wonder that
so many bloggers turn their attention to dealing with
debt. Falling into debt is all too easy, and getting out of
debt can be very difficult for people who do not have a
lot of financial expertise. For people who have a knack
for dealing with finances, blogging about their insights
and knowledge can be a great way to literally and
figuratively share the wealth.

If you are considering getting into blogging,
consolidation, debt, savings, and investment topics can
prove to be very fruitful things to write about. Many
professional bloggers who make a living off of their
blogs spend their days writing about money. If you
know how to court advertisers and build a blog fan
base, you can make money just by talking about money.
If you are familiar with loan consolidation, negotiating
settlements with credit card companies, or any other
financial topics, consider using your knowledge to
create a successful blog. By sharing your expertise, you
may be able to help your readers get out of debt while
you reap sizable monetary rewards for your time and
knowledge

Blog Advertising

 How Do You Know If You've Done Too

Much and Gone Too Far?



Advertising is good. It offers information, gives you

access to a product or service you otherwise won't

know about, it earns people money and fuels several

different industries. But you know how anything

excessive breeds discontent and greed and neither one

is pretty. The wrong use of advertising on your blog

could send your traffic south - not exactly the

direction you want it to take. So when is blog

advertising bad and when is it just right?



Is your blog succeeding? The key indicator that you're

probably doing something right with your blog

advertising is when you're actually succeeding. You

get the traffic you want, you earn for a few simple

efforts you made and keep your advertisers happy.



But don't get carried away by your success. You might

think that placing many ads on your blog can help you

earn exponentially. What it will do is earn you a spot

on your advertiser's black list. Advertisers have

guidelines about how many ads you can place on one web

page. Generally, this can range from 3 to 5, depending

on the sponsor.



If you don't want to break the good will that exists

between you and your affiliate or advertising program,

learn what the policies are and respect them.



Is that a blog or a splog? One of the worst labels

your blog can be slapped with is 'splog'. That's a

blog that contains spam. If your blog is nothing more

than just pages upon pages of advertising and little

content, you'd probably be better off publishing a

fashion magazine.



Too many ads on a blog can bury your content, distract

your visitors and even frustrate them. Some, such as

the very wary ones, will leave your blog in a hurry.

If your blog resembles an infomercial, forget it. It

will look annoying and take away from the good

reputation you're trying to build.



Too many choices Another challenge you will be facing

when it comes to blog advertising is persuading your

visitors to pay attention to the ads long enough to

actually do something with them. Otherwise, these ads

will be useless.



The problem with a blog that has too many advertising

units is that it can confuse the visitor. When they're

confused, they're less likely to click on an ad, much

less subscribe or buy anything. That leaves your

advertisers - and you - empty-handed.



Managing your advertising A blog page can easily

handle an average of three ads, which is something

most advertising and affiliate programs will allow.

Placed strategically, these ads can easily catch the

attention of your visitors. Since there are only a few

ads to look at, your visitors can easily decide which

one to click on.



Now imagine if there were 10 to 15 ads running on the

same page at the same time. You've probably seen blogs

like these before, with ads splattered all over,

rivaling a NASCAR race car.



To use blog advertising correctly, first consider the

type of programs you will be running. If you will be

an affiliate to a brand or company, there are certain

restrictions you have to work with. Some companies,

for example, prefer not to have a competing brand's ad

placed in the same blog.



Second, placement and aesthetics matter. Consider some

of the highest-rated blogs and study their ad

placements. Where are these ads placed on a page, what

are their sizes relative to one another and to the

content box and what do these ads contain? If you've

seen enough of these successful blogs, you'll have

picked up enough lessons to know how to use blog

advertising to your advantage.

Advertising Your Blog on Other Websites for Free

 HowYou Can Take Advantage of a No-Cost Strategy



There are several ways you can advertise your blog on

other websites without paying a single cent. The trick

is to find these channels and determine which ones

will work for you. Here are just a few techniques you

can use:



Advertise on other blogs. You could build a reciprocal

relationship with other bloggers, particularly those

whose content are related (but not necessarily

similar) to yours. If your blog is about gadget and

industry news, for example, you could advertise it for

free on another blog that offers gadget reviews.



By becoming partners with a non-competitor, you take

advantage of his market for the right type of exposure

without alienating anyone. It's fair, it works and

it's for free.



Use social media. Social media revolutionized many

aspects of the Internet, particularly because it

presents a new way of communicating and sharing

information. It broke many barriers, allowing people

from across the globe to build and join networks, both

for personal and business purposes.



Social media are sites that can be used to advertise

your blogs for free. Nearly all types of businesses

that exist on the Internet use social media for

promotional activities. The demographics here are

clearly defined, people can communicate in a more

personal manner and since social media is an accepted

platform for marketing, people who read your ads

regarding your blog are more likely to be receptive to

it. Best of all, advertising your blog on these

websites is free.



Use a network. To build buzz and gain momentum in the

blog universe, you need support from likeminded

individuals. Bloggers don't really advertise

themselves actively against other bloggers. Instead,

they compete with one another by ensuring they have

better content and easier to use sites.



Although simply maintaining a good blog will help

attract other blogs wishing to link up with you, you

might also want to actively pursue associations with

other popular blogs. Many of the best bloggers around

are generous enough to give you a bit of support and

will gladly mention your blog in one of their posts.

Best of all, a network helps you increase your reach

for the same amount of effort.



Use article databases. Article databases are

repositories of write-ups that bloggers and site

owners use. If you choose this route, know that this

is a rather indirect way of promoting your blog. It is

quite effective nonetheless, particularly if you want

to build buzz regarding your ability to provide useful

information.



Try to search out a specific topic online and chances

are, you will find an article written by blogger in an

article database. Read this article. At the end, you

will notice that the blogger had included his/her

name, a short description of himself, what he does,

the name of his company and a link back to his site.



Sometimes, a blogger might even include a few links to

some of his write-ups within the text of the article.

This is to entice the reader to click on the link and

find related information on the writer's blog. Using

links in this manner allows you to advertise your blog

for free on a separate website.



There's no cost involved here, particularly if you

wrote the article and performed the submission

yourself. If you prefer to spend a little bit, you

could also use copywriting and submission services for

a reasonable cost. While this isn’t free advertising

for your blog, you still get to expand your presence

using another website.

The Right Blogging Platform For Your Needs

Choosing which blogging platform to use is one of the
most important decisions that you can make as a
blogger. The right platform can make blogging a
breeze, and the wrong platform can make blogging a
chore. Because the program that you use to blog with is
such a powerful part of your blogging experience, it is
well worth putting in the time to find a platform that
provides your ideal balance between a user-friendly
interface and a flexible framework that allows you to
make your blog look and feel unique. Finding the right
platform isn't always easy, but with a little bit of
contemplation and a little bit of research, you will be on
your way to finding the perfect blogging platform.

Deciding what your priorities are in terms of ease of use
versus customization. Most highly customizable
blogging platforms, like moveable type, are a bit more
difficult to use than very automated platforms like
wordpress. If you are new to blogs and to internet
technology, you might want to sacrifice the ability to
create a custom background design or to integrate a
unique font into your template in order to find a
program that will be easy for you to use. On the other
hand, if you are a veteran web designer with knowledge
of html or javascript, you will probably find the
limitations of a user-friendly platform to be frustrating.

There is no such thing as a blogging platform that is
objectively the best platform, because every blogger has
unique needs. The blogging movement is very much
about individuality, so it makes plenty of sense that
there would be many different platforms available that
are designed to meet the needs of different kinds of
individuals undertaking different kinds of projects. This
diversity is a good thing, because it means that you will
almost certainly be able to find a program that suits
your level of technical aptitude.

However, the fact that no two bloggers need the same
thing from a blogging platform can make your search
for the right platform a bit tricky. When you are reading
reviews of different platforms, try to keep your
priorities in mind and do your best to take into account
the position that the reviewer is coming from. For
example, a negative review written by an accomplished
software designer who complains that a popular
platform is too limited may tell you that the platform in
question is ideal for a beginning blogger. There is no
such thing as the perfect platform for everybody, so
instead of looking for the "best" platform, look for the
best platform for your specific criteria.

Using A Free Blogging Web Site

For first time bloggers, a free blogging web site is a
great way to get started in the blogosphere. Popular
blogging web sites like blogger and eponym allow users
to set up and host a blog without paying any fees at all.
This encourages people to start blogging, because the
fact that one of these sites can provide you with all of
the tools that you need to get your blog up and running
without spending any money means that you have
nothing to lose by starting a blog. The fact that it is so
easy to find a way to blog for free is one of the reasons
why so many people who have never had any other kind
of web presence before find themselves drawn to
blogging.

By signing up with a free blogging web site, you may
find it easier to get listed in search engines that you
would if you were starting your own blog from scratch.
For example, google runs the free blog hosting site
blogspot and crawls its pages very often looking for
updates, so if you have your site hosted by blogspot you
are almost guaranteed to be listed on google's blog
search engine. This easy access to search engines can
take some of the work out of promoting your blog, and
can help you gain a following with a minimum of
marketing effort.

If your blog attracts a large readership, you may want to
consider moving your site. Many people feel that being
hosted by a free blogging web site gives a blog a kind of
amateur flavor that is fine for a new member of the
blogosphere, but is not appropriate for a high-profile
blog. Having your own domain can help you make your
blog feel professional, and finding a company that will
host your domain is not difficult or expensive. Once
your blog takes off, you will probably be able to sell
enough advertising space to be able to afford to buy a
domain and pay for a hosting package, and still have
money left over. However, it does not make sense in
most cases to invest in these glossy luxuries before you
have a sizable readership.

Starting your blog on a free blogging web site is a great
way to build a following before you spend any money
on your blog. If and when your blog becomes popular
and you are ready to take the next step and purchase
your own domain, your readers will follow you to your
new home. The fact that it is possible to use a free blog
host like blogspost, blogger, or eponym as a kind of
incubator for your blog is great news for bloggers
everywhere.

What Is a Blogging Tory?

The term Blogging Tory refers to any one of the many
authors affiliated with the conservative Canadian
community known as The Blogging Tories. Today,
there are over a hundred and fifty text-based blogs
associated with the group, and there are new Blogging
Tories every day. The Tories stand as an inspiring
example of a successful online community where the
ever-increasing numbers of affiliated members enjoy a
fertile environment for discussion and debate about the
ideas that shape the face of Canada.

The majority of Tory bloggers do make political events
and topics the focus of their blogs, but not all of the
content that a Blogging Tory creates and publishes is
overtly related to the movements of the Canadian
parliament or the prime minister. Although the
community members were brought together by a shared
conservative viewpoint, the fact that not all of the
postings on all of the member's blogs focus on political
topics is one of the most exciting things about the
Blogging Tories. On any given day, the main website's
blogroll may feature postings about Olympic medalists,
a James Bond film festival in Quebec, or a comical
personal experience with a telemarketer. The idea that
having a political affiliation in common makes it
possible to have a fruitful discussion about other kinds
of topics has interesting implications for how online
communities are established and how they grow.

Blogging Teens

Every day, blogs are created by people of all ages and
from all walks of life, but when it comes to blogging,
teen writers are truly on the cutting edge of the
movement. Because today's teenagers are the first
generation of people to have grown up using the
internet at every stage of their development, many
adolescents have a seemingly innate sense of how to use
web technology to express their innermost thoughts and
ideas. Older writers often experience a kind of learning
curve when they begin to blog, but many young people
find that using a word processor and blogging software
feels more natural and direct a mode of communication
than writing in a diary ever could.

One of the reasons why blogs have undergone a kind of
explosion in the teen community and are growing by
leaps and bounds is the fact that they provide a unique
mixture of visibility and anonymity. A teenager can
invite friends and peers to read his or her blog with a
simple email, thereby winning attention or possibly
even praise. Of course, with visibility usually comes the
possibility of embarrassment, but the fact that it is
possible to blog anonymously with an invented handle
or nickname negates a lot of the potential for
humiliation. Many a blogging teen lives in fear that a
parent or guardian will discover his or her blog, but by
publishing under an alias a teenager can spill his or her
secrets without fear of being traced.

Outside the world of blogging, teen writers often have
very limited opportunities to be published. Magazines
and journals are often reticent to publish young writers
who may not have as much credibility as older writers
with a lot of experience and extensive credits to their
names. This can discourage adolescents from writing or
from seeking chances to publish their work. By
blogging, young people can begin to gain a following of
readers without first having to win the attention and
support of an editor or publisher who may not be very
interested in teenaged authors.

Between the fact that blogs provide young people with a
chance to exercise their impressive technical aptitude,
to gain visibility without compromising privacy, and to
build a readership for their writing without having to
jump through the traditional hoops of the publishing
industry, it is little wonder that are so many teenagers
with blogs. For some teenagers, blogging is even a very
social endeavor that allows them to meet people with
similar interests from all over the world. Many a
blogging teen has discovered that having a weblog on
the internet is a great way to explore self-expression
and, often, to win positive feedback from new friends.

SEO Importance In Blog Advertising

Having a blog on the Internet that gives people some
good informaton doens't do a lot of good if people
don't know that it's there.

If you want people to be able to find your blog,
something that is important is that you have good
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO.

Whenever you put one or more words into a search bar
to look for something, the SEO of a website is what
helps bring up those websites.

For example, if your blog is about Harry Potter, you
are going to want to be sure that your blog includes
popular terms such as Harry Pottter, JK Rowling, and
other things that are related to Harry Potter.

Think about the things that people look for when they
are interested in Harry Potter, and the kinds of
things that come up when you search.

It's always a good idea to use your own experience
when you are optimizing your blog for searching.

Think about what has worked, what hasn't worked, and
use them for your own blog SEO. This way, when someone
puts one of the terms that you put in your blog into a
search engine it will be one of the sites that comes
up.

Of course, there are other factors that come into play
that determine where your blog will come up in the
list, but everyone starts somewhere.

The more keywords that your blog uses, the more people
will come to your blog. It just takes time and
patience.

Advertising Your Blog: 4 Ways to Do It at Little Expense





During your initial foray into web logging, you'll

find that it will take some conscious effort on your

part to promote your blog. Of course, you could just

simply write feverishly and hope that your blog takes

on a life of its own.



But that's putting your hopes on randomness which

might not work in your favor. If the thought of

advertising your blog has never crossed your mind,

it's time that you gave it some consideration,

especially if you've only begun blogging.



Here are ways you can start advertising your blog at

little or no cost:



Share information for free. Don’t expect or demand to

be paid for information just yet. You're still trying

to build your reputation and nobody knows you. Focus

on putting out excellent quality entries or posts in

your blog. Good content, coupled with enough

promotional activity, will put you in the blog

universe's map.



The way to do it is to write articles about your

specific topic, articles that are related to your

chosen content. Include a short introduction about

yourself and your blog and place a link back to your

site. Writing articles helps establish your reputation

as a reliable source of information and makes you

recognizable.



Take article writing a bit further and send it out to

article databases or social bookmarking sites where it

can generate more buzz and get free promotion. Social

bookmarking sites allow visitors to vote for your

article, so the more it gains in popularity, the more

exposure your blog will receive.



Target online forums Online forums are today's

bulletin boards, the equivalent of the office water

cooler. These are sites or pages on the internet that

people frequent to ask or answer questions, share

their opinions, tell a story, rant, rave or just

simply say something.



Seek out online forums where topics related to your

blog are found. Forums offer free advertising

opportunities for your blog and let you network at the

same time.



Link up with other blogs Never underestimate the power

of a good connection. Many bloggers form associations

with other bloggers and reap the rewards of a

symbiotic relationship in the process. They do this by

swapping links, allowing themselves to share their

audience with other bloggers like you.



Bloggers can also actively promote your blog by

mentioning it in their posts while at the same time

providing links back to your site.



Frequently, blog owners will often allow you to guest

write an article or post for a day or a week. This

helps expose you and your blog to that blog's

visitors.



Give your two cents' worth Don't always treat other

blogs with content similar to yours as bitter

competitors. Sometimes, they could work as silent

partners to help you promote your blog. It may sound

sneaky or unacceptable to your idea of good ethics but

if you look closely, it's not only practical, it's

also legit.



Each time you visit another guy's blog, consider the

niche market it targets. Simply take a look at the

prevailing topics and sentiment and you'll have an

idea whether it's a match to your needs or not. Leave

a short but meaty comment on a relevant article that

you truly found interesting. Then leave your name and

a link to the blog page where a related topic can be

found.



What this does is simply promoting your blog to a

market that already exists. You're not exactly

stealing another blogger's audience - you're simply

providing them an alternative. And that's not so bad

for advertising your blog.

Advertising Your Blog In Your Email Signature

If you have a blog that you are particularly proud of,
and that you want to share with other people, there
are a lot of free ways that you can get your blog
noticed.

One of those ways is something that you do everyday,
and that you may not even consider as a way to share
your blog. Put the link to your blog in your email
signature.

Chances are that you send out emails more timese that
you can count during the day, Each time you send out
an email, you can advertise your blog by putting the
address of your blog in your email's signature.

It's always a good idea to write something catchy
like, See what I am up to now, or Read my latest
chapter of my fanfic here, depending on what type of
blog you have.

The thing to remember about putting an adveritsement
in your signature for your blog is to make it short,
but eyecatching.

You want people to be interested enough to want to
click on it, but you also don't want to scare them
off.

Just like it is with any adveritsement, you want to
give them just enough to be interested and take a
closer look at what it is that you are advertising.

Think about what it is that your blog is about. What
is really going to interest people abuot it and want
to visit? That is what you should include in your
signature, and that is what is going to get people to
go to your blog.
