what is a Blog anyway??????????

‘A weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in an HTML browser.’

A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.’

‘A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a human guide who you get to know. There are many guides to choose from, each develops an audience, and there’s also comraderie and politics between the people who run weblogs, they point to each other, in all kinds of structures, graphs, loops, etc.’

‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’


‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’ .

importance of key words

It is the most important factor for on page SEO. It increases CTR (click through rate) also. It is very difficult to get higher search engine rankings without adding your targeted keywords to your web page title. Select one or two targeted keywords for each page of your website and put these keywords in page title. Also make sure that content of the page has relevant material to those keywords. If you put your most targeted keyword in the beginning of the title; there are more chances to get into the top of search engines. All the search engines take title of web pages very seriously. If you have an established website and you add a new section to it then by adding information about that section to the title; you will get quick search engine ranking.

Example: if you want to target the keyword “Antivirus”; you could have following choices:-

1. Yoursitename: antivirus solution to your pc.
2. Antivirus solution for your pc.
3. PC antivirus solution by yoursitename

Above we have three examples of site title; guess which one is best for your search engine rankings. All the examples contain your targeted keyword “Antivirus”. Here I will recommend you to use the second one because it is simple and starts with your targeted keyword.

Please avoid the following titles:
1. Index
2. Main page
3. Untitled page, etc.

all about spam

If you've turned off your comment moderation inside your blogger account, you won't be able to stop those nasty spammers. Well, it's just based on my experience. I don't know how to stop Blogspot spammers if my comment moderation is turned OFF. The best thing to do it delete all spams that was posted in each entry. Now, that's a lot of work...

To prevent this your should always turn your comment moderation ON, and approve comments that you think it's not a spam.

But, how will you determine if it's a spam or not? If your keen enough, you will notice that these spam messages are repeatedly copy-pasted over and over again. It will contain such messages like: Wow Nice Blog, You have a great article, or stuffs like, Visit our websites, or visit this with so many links containing various websites that might catch your interest. Most of these links contains adult stuff, breast enhancers, and many other links similar to it.

I hope Google will add a spam filtering feature to blogger, like Akismet or Spam Karma that is only available to Wordpress. Maybe there is one, but I still don't know what it is, or where to find it...

The main reason why I posted about this spamming thing is because I was suffering from a serious human-like comment spammer. My old posts, starting from October 2006 was spammed by this robot from titanichost.com. If anyone of you here, who knows how to stop this threat, kindly leave me a comment, and help me stop this spam

Monetizing your Blog

In order of a blog to generate income, you must develop a strong strategy for monetizing it. There are several different venues which you can employ to monetize your blog:

1. AdSense
2. Advertising space for banner ads
3. Donations
4. Affiliate programs
5. Paid third-party product reviews / pushes
6. Selling your own services or products
   Deciding on what monetizing strategy you employ depends upon the goals for your blog and its target audience. Each target audience will respond differently to your different monetizing strategies; for example, a humanitarian blog audience may be more receptive to donations, while a cooking blog audience would click through your banner ads for an organic recipe cookbook. You should develop an initial strategy, keeping your targeted audience's psychology in mind. The design and layout of your blog should reflect your monetizing strategy; for example, if you will be employing AdSense, then you may want to use a column layout with clean colors and lines. You want to ensure that your monetizing efforts are optimized in the layout of your website. As you progress with your blog, do not be afraid to test the water and adjust your monetizing strategies based upon feedback and performance results.
