10 Great blogging tips for 2009

January 13, 2009 by evl

Welcome to 2009, like 13 days late. I know but I have something great I would like to share. 10 blogging tips for 2009:

Stop sucking up. Sucking up to other bloggers, especially "bigger" or "alist" bloggers will get you no where. All it does it makes you feel important for a while and makes their blogs even bigger. If you get something out of it then great, but dont just follow and support someone because everyone else is doing it.

Leave comments because you want to. I guess people still do the comment thing. Dont leave comments unless you want to be part of the conversation. If you leave comments then really mean them and make them because you want to participate.

Write content I used to wonder why when i have such a great blog there were no people coming. You actually have to keep on writing content for people to come to your blog. No content, no visitors. If you want to be found for a certain keyword then you actually have to use that keyword. Obvious but not for many.

Trackback to your own articles Who said trackbacking to your own articles is wrong? Crap man, trackbacking is relevant to search engines and to humans. It's a win win.

Stop following famous bloggers Goes with point one, but seriously, why follow everyone and do everything they say because they are famous. It does NOT mean you will get there by doing exactly the same. Be original.

Stop following the crowd I used to read all that blogging tips and how to get traffic and all that crap. Just follow your self and aim for goals instead of messing around trying to find the "best" way to drive traffic. Blog and they will come.

Reach a goal in blogging Successful blogging is not about how many rss readers you have. Rss readers is another fail anyway. Your blog should have a goal, following that goal will keep you going after that which matters instead of following endless blogging tips.

Spell check Yeah you got me on this one. But spell check because it counts.

Stop being cocky So you make money, or you have 100 000 rss subscribers. Who cares? You are still just a drop in a over filled up bucket. Being cocky just shows that you dont know there is a world out there bigger than you.

Spy on competitors So cnn gets more traffic. Spy on em. You can only learn from those that are where you want to be, but dont become those that are where you want to be, be unique but learn from the ways they do things. And lastly, stop worrying so much. Happy 2009.

Time to make some money online

January 1, 2009 by evl

I dont know if anyone knows that reads this blog today but this blog started out about blogging and blogging tips. I kind of got bored with all that but have decided since I now get 2 million page views a month I can give my two cents and it might actually help a few people get where they want to go.

Making money on the internet is hard. That's a fact, but the thing that will ultimately enable you to become a full time blogger is persistence.

Anyway. I will share some great blogging tips in 09. its one of those new year resolutions you know. The one I hope I get to do.

Anway Happy New Year.

4 things that annoy me as a blogger

December 24, 2008 by evl

Rss feeds

I hate it when people use my rss feed. Seriously, you want to read my stuff then come to my site. I cant stand it when sites and bloggers tell how many Rss subscribers they have. I bet you not even 1% of people that are subscribed to a site actually come and visit the site.

Although I hate it when people read my rss feed on a reader I still like reading other sites on readers. I know, my right to be annoying.

Leaving url in comment

Sometimes I am amazed at people. The comment section clearly states url. Now that means you dont have to repeat your url in the actual comment, it saves you time and effort. But no, you get these annoying people that fill in a comment and then put their urls under what they've written. Maybe someone should make a comment how-to to explain how the thing works.

Telling people where you've not been before

I have done exactly this for some time until I realized how stupid I must of sound to those that really has been there and know what they are talking about. Although I now have the experience, i also blogged about how to make money before I actually made money.

its like fooling people into believing you make money to make money from them.

Link exchange

I get these really annoying emails asking for link exchange. Here's a tip. Link your one page to your other page. There you have a link. Happy now?

Where to watch and find breaking news online - For news junkies

December 18, 2008 by evl

I am a real news junkie. I dont know why but its like an addiction. I want to know things before the rest of the world knows them Also running a blog I can blog about things before others blog about it. Its just plain addictive. So here are a few places to get stuck on looking for breaking news. Some you know, some you might not. Some are obvious. Lets explore: Google News Google News is probably a crowd favorite and I can understand why. Instead of just showing one news source it shows the collective topic all the news sites are talking about. So instead of just finding one breaking news story, you'll find that breaking news story showing all the sites that write about it. One thing worth it is to customize your news on Google News. Personally I dont like sport so i removed it.

Newsvine Newsvine is like a news community where you can vote on news and share news. Its basically as I said a news community. This is worth checking out although if you are not living in the US you might not enjoy it that much since it mostly focussed on US stories.

Twitter Twitter can be a great source to find breaking news. Oddly most people that have breaking news usually use the words "breaking news" For instance doing a search on search.twitter.com and searching for "breaking news" will give you many results and mostly when bloggers and tweeters break the news, it's before the news channels and papers.

Addict-o-matic (addictomatic.com) This is a different type of way to find the news. This will not really show you all the breaking news from random topics but will enable you to find news about a specific topic. By choosing your sources and typing in your wanted word you want news for it enables you to find news or articles from various places. Although you can find breaking news here about a topic you might also find things that are a bit older.
