Blogging For Money

For those who don’t quite grasp the idea of how link building is possible for SEO (search engine optimisation), the infographic above should give a clear idea of how the concept of link building can be done, courtesy of Datadial London. Link building is considered as the “currency” of the World Wide Web. Without relevant links pointing to your website in large numbers, search engines such as Google will not be able to find and quickly index your web pages or rank your website well in their search engine results page. Your website will be buried under the plethora of other websites which have done their SEO homework well through link building. If you have no idea how to begin building links to your website, you can easily hire London SEO agency, which can do the relevant SEO work for you.

Anyone who has been involved in building and developing websites online knows that one can make a profit from buying and selling websites. Selling a Website, however, requires that you take into account several important things before you decide to pitch your website to a buyer for a sale.

The first step you should undertake is to get a Website Valuation. After that, all you need to do is to weave in your personal touch in your sales message. Nobody wants to be sold to by a total stranger, but many people will buy after seeing a strong recommendation to them. If you can convince your audience that you are a personal friend who has their best interest at heart, they will be convinced to buy your website. Website due diligence must always be kept into mind.

You should also publish testimonials and comments from your customers after every website sale. A good idea would be to publish both good and bad comments; that way prospects will be really convinced that these testimonials are real. When prospects see the testimonials of your past successes, they will have the confidence to buy from you because human beings follow the herd mentality. When others have bought and proven it authentic, they will jump on the bandwagon and buy websites from you as well.

Many websites have very long URLs for their articles, especially more so with blogs that rely on automated permalinks which reuse their titles. For example, a URL can be as follows:

http://www.bismikaallahuma.org/archives/2008/resolving-the-christian-i-know-nothing-multi-problem-in-textual-criticism/

Such long URLs can actually break if you try to repost them in forums or e-mails. So what is the solution? You use a URL shortener, of course! With a URL shortener, the long URL example I gave above can easily be shortened into:

Short and sweet, right?

I have been poking around Aaron Wall’s SEO Book after subscribing to its membership and I’ve certainly discovered some important things which cuts through the hype about it. The fee is $300 a month, which is definitely way overpriced after I’ve checked out the material available. Fortunately, I didn’t have to pay for the full amount and the subscription will be cancelled at the end of this month, so….

I personally feel that unless you are a total newbie or just beginning to start into search engine optimization (SEO) and want to expand your knowledge of the industry, SEO Book is not for you. Its not to say that SEO Book is totally worthless….I am still printing out tons of material from their “Training” programme which are relevant to my current SEO and SEM needs. Their community forum also has some interesting case studies and SEO-related articles that I am printing out for future reference (and simply because I can). However, let’s just say that after being in the industry for 2 years or so, there’s really nothing major in the content that I don’t know already. After all, experience is certainly the best teacher of all, not a closed “elite” community which charges a ludicrously high fee per month for membership.

Since the forum is pretty much completed now, I think the story can now be told. I have started a new webmasters forum at VCTech Network, my company website. My original intention was for it to serve as a support forum and discussion for our online products and services, i.e. our blog aggregator service, URL shortener and PageRank checker, among other things. But since its pretty much close to what webmasters would want to use for their sites anyway, I thought why not expand on it? I’ve always wanted to run my own webmasters forum. Considering the recent spate of incidents involved in me getting banned from webmaster forums, I think that the timing could not be better.

I hereby take the opportunity to cordially invite you to the VCTech Network Forums.

I need to search for a new web hosting provider because my current reseller UK account is quirky and has been giving me some issues. Looking around for cheap web hosting, I chanced upon Host Nexus, a web hosting provider. It appears that this company is fast becoming among the most popular places for webmasters to host their sites. They are able to offer you various types of hosting packages as per your requirements, such as shared hosting, blog hosting, VPS hosting and even Windows Reseller hosting. They’ve built-up years of experience and very good at what they do. Host Nexus also offers a large assortment of ten different web hosting packages for your to choose from for your site, all ranging from $34.95 annually or as low as just $6.95 per month. The ability to host sub-domains is included with some packages, as well as their their MySQL database offering. If you have no idea where to begin, there are no worries about that. Host Nexus also gives its clients an entire portal site of self-help tools along with its customer service, so you will be able to always find the facts that you need quickly.

With all of the great characteristics and its money back-guarantee, Host Nexus web hosting is a sure winner for sites just starting out or large businesses needing to have a serious host provider.
