Blogging Tips reaches 1,000 subscribers
Site News After 7 months we have finally crawled over the 1,000 subscriber mark. RSS feed growth has been a bit slower than I would have liked recently but I’m hoping that reaching 4 digits will help encourage more people to subscribe (ie. feed counts tend to grow exponentially if the blog is still being updated). I’d like to thank all of you who subscribed and more importantly, I’d like to thank all of the authors of Blogging Tips. They ...
Continue readingA new design for Blogging Tips – Suggestions & feedback welcome
Site News By now most of you will have no doubt noticed that Blogging Tips has a new design. I thought I would give you a little info about the new design and my reasons behind some of the changes on the site. Goodbye Super Kevin The first thing a lot of you will notice is that our cartoon mascot has been removed from the site. Sergio from SOS Factory did a fantastic job with the logo 5 months ago however it no longer represented the image I wanted for ...

Site News I mentioned at the end of last month that I would be selling advertising here soon. More and more emails have been coming into my inbox asking about advertising rates here but I wanted to delay selling ads here until the new Google PageRank update had taken place because it plays such a big part in the pricing of ads, particularly text links. As most of you know, BloggingTips missed out in the last update because of a change of domain (we went ...

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 ...

Site News I mentioned a few days ago that I have been looking for new authors for Blogging Tips. I have managed to secure a fantastic team of authors who will now be posting on Blogging Tips on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I had to turn down some applications from good bloggers as I didn’t want the new additions to be covering the same subjects. The new authors I hope you will join me in welcoming the following people to the Blogging Tips writing ...
Continue readingTop commentators list removed from Blogging Tips
Site News I posted in June about how the Blogging Tips top commentator list was being abused by a small number of people leaving pointless messages in order to break into the top commentator list In the last day or so I got over 50 comments from two people who left dozens of one line comments in dozens of posts. These posts added nothing to the discussion and some were completely unrelated to the post in question. Granted they did this at the end of the ...
Continue readingAnother self review of BloggingTips.com
Site News 2 weeks after I first launched BloggingTips I posted a self review, a quick post about the direction I wanted the blog to go. It’s been about 4 months since that review so I think it’s as good a time as any to have a look at how the blog has faired and what I hope to achieve in the future One of the biggest problems that I faced when I started this blog was time, or more specifically lack thereof. Since I cut my travels short time is ...

Site News The downtime I experienced last week with my current host was the final straw. Shortly afterwards I started looking into which hosting company to transfer to. Eventually I decided to go with WiredTree. I read a lot of good things about the company and so far the support has been excellent so I’m sure I’ve made the right choice. The package i went for has the following : Hardware Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 ** (Free Upgrade to E6420) ** ...
Continue readingBlogging Tips Authors – A brief update
Site News I haven’t spoke about guest authors for a while at Blogging Tips however it’s something which I hope plays a big part in the success of the blog. Although I am happy to have guest authors write a one-off post, I am looking more towards authors who can commit to writing on a more regular basis. Currently, Mani from Daily SEO Blog is the first person to commit to this. Mani’s blog has been active since September 2006 and has ...

Site News Yesterday I arrived back home in Glasgow airport after 7 months+ of travelling. I had spent a month in Thailand, few days in Singapore, 5 weeks or so in Australia and 5 months in New Zealand before i decided it was time to start heading home. I absolutely loved New Zealand but the poor internet connections and approaching cold weather persuaded me it was time to start heading home and get back to working normal hours with my websites etc. On the ...
