Continue readingFighting back against the scrapers
Blogging I’ve caught one or two blogs scraping BloggingTips in the last week or so. Unfortunately, it’s something that is becoming more and more common. Truth be told, there is no foolproof way to stop someone taking your content, if someone is completely committed to ripping you off they will! However, scrapers are by their very nature very lazy people who would rather plagiarize someone elses work than get off their ass and write their own ...
Continue readingSnarky Blogging – Part 1
Writing Snarky, aren’t we? More people are snarky than ever before thanks to blogging. Some people even take pride in this manner of speech. After all, this type of verbal expression allows bloggers to take great liberty with their opinions. It is virtually becoming a literary phenomenon . . . in the blogosphere, at least. A search of the web will find snarky mommas, snarky literary agents, snarky gossip, snarky tofu, those who profess to be ...

Writing Elaine Ramos recently offered some excellent suggestions on how to combat “blogger’s block.” I’d like to follow up on her idea by offering ways to prevent it before it happens.

Continue reading10 things to imitate from A-list bloggers
Blogging During my initial days of blogging, my thoughts were always along the lines of – What’s so special with the A-list guys? They seem to write the same stuff all the time, nothing special. Why do people prefer an A-lister’s blog after all ? I have better ideas, better content – but why doesn’t people read my blog? And a million more similar questions. I’m sure you would’ve ...

Site News I spoke in June about the importance of having keywords in your domain name. Google has certainly been updating a lot of it’s search results lately and I have seen BloggingTips.com jump higher in the SERP’s for several keywords, most notably the search term I spoke about in my previous article ie. the term ‘Blogging Tips’. There are still some search engines which I am not top of the results for this search term and a top ...
