Build Blog

Want to have your own blog?
In this material you will learn step by step how to make a blog.
I will present you 3 solutions for building a blog:
1. using Blogger.com
2. using WordPress
3. using Joomla
1. Using Blogger.com (www.blogger.com)
Blogger.com was launched in August 1999 by Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan (Pyra Labs) and purchased by Google in February 2003.
Blogger.com is one of the most popular solutions for blogging.
To use Blogger.com you must make an account on the site. This is easy, simply fill a short online form with your email address, name, username and password.
You will get access to dashboard, the place from where you create blogs and manage them. Click create a new blog and choose a blog title (must be unique) and a blog address. I suggest putting your keywords in the blog title and address.
After that just choose a template that you like and you have your blog.
Blogger strengths:
• Is free
• Open source
• Easy to use
• Don’ t need a domain name or a web host
Blogger weakness is that you can loose the information from your blog. So keep every post on your hard disk.
Example of blogs build with Blogger: http://affiliatesecretsrevealed.blogspot.com, a blog about affiliate marketing and http://funnygiftideas.blogspot.com a blog about funny gifts.
2. Using WordPress (www.wordpress.org)
WordPress is publishing software with a focus on easy of use, speed and a great user experience.
WordPress is a powerful personal publishing platform, and it comes with a great set of features designed to make your experience as a publisher on the Internet as easy, pleasant and appealing as possible.
For using WordPress you must have a domain name and hosting.
To find a good web hosting service visit www.web-hosting-advisor.info.
If your hosting service has the cpanel application installing WordPress is very easy: just go to cpanel, Fantastico, WordPress, and click install. Just follow the info on the screen.
If you don’t have cpanel don’t worry, download the install kit from http://wordpress.org/download. You can find WordPress online manual on http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page.
Read the manual and follow the instruction, installation is simple.
WordPress strengths:
• Is free
• Easy to use
• Powerful
Weakness WordPress demands minimal computer knowledge.
Example of blogs build with WordPres: www.plasmatelevisionadvice.info a blog about plasma television advice, tips, shopping guide and www.gadgets-club.com a blog for gadget fans.
3. Using Joomla (www.joomla.org)
Joomla is a free, open source portal solution.
With Joomla you can build a portal and a blog.
Joomla is recommended for a person who wants more than a blog.
You must have a domain name and hosting to be able to install Joomla.
Installing Joomla is very easy: just download the install kit from http://forge.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/viewRelease/projects.joomla/frs.joomla_1_0.1_0_12, upload it on your server and click install.
Follow the on screen instructions you and will do fine.
Joomla strengths:
• Is free
• Open source
• Easy to install
• Builds an entire website, not just a blog
Weakness of Joomla in the complexity. It may take a while to learn how to use it.
Example of blogs build with Joomla: http://www.giftideasblog.net a blog that presents cool gift ideas and http://www.killdeal.info/content/blogsection a blog about hot offers and kill deals.
Now it is up to you to choose the solution that fits you best.

Very often a blog is a sort of the side medium and the blog owner does not have enough time to build the required amount of backlinks. So it is very useful to know that the job can be automated.
This article tells about 5 backlink building techniques, which I have used successfully for my blog.
1.The Article Marketing.
It is easy to write articles if you are a blogger, the two jobs are so close to each other. The articles will bring a lot of backlinks rapidly, if the writer uses a mass distribution system to hundreds or thousands of websites and article directories.
These written articles must be optimized using effective keywords. This is cricial, because people will find the article using the same keywords than what the article writer has used.
The article writer, a blogger, has to remember that a mass distribution means a lot of dublicated content. This means that these widely distributed articles will not climb to the first places on the result pages of the search engines but will work effectively by bringing a lot of visitors and backlinks.
2.The Reciprocal Link Building
This is another effective way to get targeted visitors and links. The term reciprocal link means that your blog and another related blog both has a link pointing to each other. It is a sort of a co operation.
How you can get reciprocal links? Okay, first you can use a manual system and join some link exchange program or you can mail to a single blog owner and ask if he wants to change links. These both ways are relatively slow.
Then you can buy some software, which is a powerful way to build a lot of related links. However a blogger must be careful, because if the linklist will be too big, the search engines will see it as a sort of a link farm and punish the blog.
3. Take Your Blog To The Groups Of The Search Engines.
The biggest search engines have different groups and you can join some of them and get the blog url there. By writing some quality post you can get traffic to the blog and some backlinks.
4.The Blog Content Quality Is Still The King.
The most effective short and long term backlink builder is the quality content of the blog. This means that a blogger must take the blog seriously. It is not a diary but a business tool. When blog visitors like the content, they will bookmark the blog or even quote the posts, which both mean a good amount of backlinks, visitors and a nice image.
A blogger must never use his own articles as blog posts, because they are dublicate content.
5.Writing To The Forums.
The same topic forum posts work effectively in backlink building. Here also the quality works best. Every single post builds credibility and does the preselling work. When the blog url is in the sig file, every post build a backlink to the blog.
The posts can also be optimized, which makes it possible for the search engines to rank them on the result pages.

I want to show you the different ways that you can make money with your blog. A Blog is a shorter name for “Weblog” and it is simply a website that you can get for free and use for various things. You can use it for Internet marketing – which means selling products as an affiliate marketer and to make money from visitors clicking on ads that they are interested in: like ads revenue from  Google Adsense, Bidvertiser or FairadsNetwork. You can get a free blog from Blogger.com. They are owned and operated by Google. If you have a Gmail account or a Google Account, you can use the same login name and password that you use to log in to your Google Account so you don’t have to create a new account at Blogger.com If you do not have an account with Google, it is very easy to create one free, at Blogger.com or Gmail.com. Once you log in to Blogger you can create a blog immediately! You get your own blog domain name that will look something like this: www.YourDomainName.Blogspot.com You just replace “YourDomainName” with whatever you want your URL to be. You should consider choosing keywords that are popular search terms, so that your blog will rank higher on the search engines. Use the free Google External Keyword word Tool to see what search terms are popular. For Example: If you are in the health and fitness niche, you might want to choose names like “fitness4u.Blogspot.com” or “besthealth.blogspot.com” because the term “health fitness” is a very popular search term and brings up 823,000 results for one month. One of the quickest and easiest way to make money with a weblog, is with this simple formula: RBS + AL + AM + T = $$$.Let me explain what this formula is:RBS = “A Review Blog Site” – This is a blog that you create at Blogger.com and you will use it to post product reviews, about products that you are promoting as an affiliate. AL = “Affiliate Links” – At the end of your product review, you simply include your affiliate link to the product you just reviewed so that visitors can click on your affiliate link and be directed to the product site, and if the purchase the product you will earn a commission from the sale.  AM = “Article Marketing” – By writing articles or getting someone else to write them, you can generate high quality, targeted traffic too your blog. T = “Traffic” – This is the high quality targeted traffic you will receive from your articles, as well as people who are searching Blogger.com for blogs in your niche. The more popular a market you choose, the more traffic you will be more likely receive.$$$ = MONEY! – I think you know what this one means? This of course represents the cash you will earn when you make affiliate sales!The entire Blogging process won’t cost you a dime. The blog is free, with blogger.com. Becoming an affiliate is 100% free with Clickbank, Paydotcom.com, Amazon, Cj.com, Ebay and many more. Writing and submitting keyword optimized articles to the article directories is also free, directores like: Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, Articlesbase.com, Isnare.com, Ideamarketers.com and hundreds more. The big name marketers use the this method to make a lot of money…and the more articles they have out there, means more. If you prefer to outsource articles you could take a look at Elance.com or Guru.com. You can get articles written for you from about $2 – $15 per article. The higher price usually means a higher quality article.

Once you have made a sale on your eBay auction, it is important to maintain the same friendly and professional rapport with your customers. Remember that repeat customers and good reviews can make your eBay career successful! It is important that you inform your customers of the progress of their purchases every step of the way. First, contact them to thank them for making the purchase, including any payment information. Then contact them to let them know that you have shipped the merchandise, how it shipped, and when you expect it you arrive to them. You might also want to include any tracking numbers so that your customers can see when their packages are due to arrive to them.

It is vital that you conduct your eBay auctions and business transactions with the utmost professionalism. In addition to honesty and communication, that means that you should wrap and ship any merchandise that you sell in a way that it will not be damaged, for more information logon to www.auction-words.com. And that it will show that care was taken in the preparation for shipment. Include a “receipt” that shows what the customer purchased, the price paid, and even include a thank you note, which is always a nice touch. Again, customer satisfaction and feedback can make or break your eBay auction experience and seller reputation.

Customer feedback and ratings on an eBay auction can mean that either you will be a highly sought after seller, or that no one will want your stuff at all. Take those ratings seriously, because the buyers on eBay certainly do! That is why it is so important to work to satisfy every customer, even the difficult or demanding ones. If that means negotiating the price of certain merchandise, or doing something else a little extra for a customer, then you need to do it. If you want to turn your eBay auction into a successful business endeavor, your pride might have to take a back seat. Try to remember that the buyer is taking just as big (if not bigger) of a chance as you are in shopping for merchandise on an eBay auction. Therefore, the easier you make it for them, the more often they are likely to be your customer.

Bloggers for peer-reviewed research reporting, or BPR3, was conceived by scientists and others who write informally about research on the Internet as a simple way to denote that a blog post or website article is discussing peer-reviewed work. Their mission statement: “Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting strives to identify serious academic blog posts about peer-reviewed research by offering an icon and an aggregation site where others can look to find the best academic blogging on the Net.”As well as creating an icon for bloggers to denote when their posts concern peer-reviewed research, the organization will host a central web site where snippets from these posts will be displayed, with links back to the original posts. For more resources visit at www.atoz-about-rss.com. Readers will be able to choose topics of interest and view only those posts, if they wish.Eventually, the intention is that bloggers will be able to enter a DOI (digital object identifier) or other unique identifier, and automatically generate code to post the icon, link to the post to the BPR3 site and its aggregation tools, and generate a properly formatted research citation which links to the original article.Now, the first stage is complete — the icons have been created (with a lot of helpful input from large numbers of science bloggers). They must be popular, as the site from which people can collect their code has been down for a couple of days due to excessive traffic, presumably. However, it is now up and viewable, so if you want to pick up an icon for your own blog, or just find out more details of the project, please visit this posting. From this post (29 October): “Anyone can use these icons to show when they’re making a serious post about peer-reviewed research, rather than just linking to a news article or press release. Within a month, these blog posts will also be aggregated here, so everyone can go to one place to locate the most serious, thoughtful analysis and commentary on the web.”Inevitably, given the engagingly self-referential and gossipy nature of blogging, release of these icons attracted a lot of comment and discussion in the blogosphere. Dave Monger, the driving force behind BPR3, has collected links to all these articles into one post here.Perhaps in some of this discussion, this question has been addressed already, but as I am afraid I do not have time to read all of the 26 (so far) articles, I raise it here. You can also login to www.building-blog-empire.com. The icon seems to me an excellent way to indicate that the subject of a blog post is a peer-reviewed research article (so long as there is a mechanism to report abuse and remove the icon from posts that use it incorrectly). And the intentions of BPR3 in providing links to the original research article being discussed are admirable. However, these indicators in themselves do not seem to me necessarily to be an indicator of quality of the blog post itself. On a blog, anyone can write anything about anything, whether or not the topic under discussion is peer-reviewed. A lot of traffic to, or comments on, a blog post are not in itself an indicator of quality. (It could, indeed, be the opposite.)After the blog posts are themselves linked to the original research article, it will be possible for them to be formally cited, making them eligible for aggregation into citation databases. Blog posts that enter the mainstream scientific debate in this sense would have a quality indicator associated with the post itself rather than the research they describe. Is this the intention?
