3 Things You Have To Do Before Submitting A Post To A Social Site
Social Media I will be writing on social sites like stumbleupon, digg, sphinn and more. Before writing posts about those social sites, you have few basic things which you need to do before starting to submit posts to the social sites. A deep thinking may bring up more than three, but if you consider the top 3 very basic things you need to do, they are: 1. A Good Image 2. Well Written Profile Page 3.

Blogging If you write several blogs either by design or for business you know how much it takes to keep on track of all the publications. It isn’t always easy to come up with appropriate ideas to keep posting on time. The longer we wait, the harder it normally gets.

WordPress Themes Today marks the first day of a long weekend for me. You see, this weekend I plan on fully optimizing all of my blog themes, cleaning up the code and adding in the final needed plugins to make them as search engine friendly as possible.

Social Networking In the last day or so I have been familiarising myself with the Sphinn community. As I mentioned yesterday, in the past I never really made the effort to become an active member in a social media site. Sphinn is definately the site to change this.

I have not put forward a prize for any of these competitions and since I still get these emails from time to time, I would like to explain why I do not (usually) sponsor any blog competitions First of all, I would like to point out that I enjoy helping out other people on the web, be it a friendly link to a good post a blogger has wrote or ...

Search Engine Optimisation I was pondering this question the other day as I wrote an article explaining the ins and outs of Technorati, Alexa and PR ranking. It caused my head to spin a bit. I’m not the most technologically savvy person around. I tend to learn – begrudgingly – on an as-need basis. But, to achieve blogging success, I’m learning to get over myself. Particularly as an SEO writer, I’m delving deeper and deeper into technology I really have no ...

Social Media I came across a new Twitter service today called TwitterCounter. The site gives you a small chicklet which displays how many followers you have on Twitter. The counter looks almost identical to the popular FeedBurner chicklet which many blogs use.
