blogs? Blogs are very powerful when it comes to Search Engine Optimization. We all know - Google loves blogs because they're always updated with fresh content. Blogs contain all the ingredients necessary for a perfectly optimized site.
Blogs are also very popular because they often link to other blogs writing about the same topic or niche. Search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN find it extremely appealing to index fresh and useful content for their users.
Bloggers just don't blog for the fun (of course, blogging is so much fun!) but they also get to socialise, make friends and also make money while doing all these things that they really love! Wouldn't it be nice if everything that we loved to do paid us?
Blogging is one of such rare things that can pay your bills while you enjoy blogging.
I'll be updating this lens with more juicy information regarding blogging and how YOU - yes you, can make money from blogging.
Blogging has exploded over the last few years. It's not very surprising for a more than average internet savvy user to have more than a couple of blogs.
Not only casual people with exciting information but even everyday companies are making blog as a mainstream communication platform to keep up with their consumers. Blogs give corporates a cutting-edge that is hard to miss by their competitors.
Companies and Mom-and-Pop shops have setup blogs because it's very easy to write and maintain a blog. A blog is more personal because it is setup in a chronological order - the latest post appearing first and older posts appearing behind them.
When you blog, don't just blog as if it's your duty - and that you have to meet blogging deadlines. When you blog personally and try to communicate, your readers relate with you.
Having a special page on your average blog devoted to your profile with a nice photo is better than a blog with amazing content but not personality behind it.
When people search something online - like some product or software they want honest opinion from people just like them. If you just copy paste the text from the product website don't expect someone to visit your blog and even if they mistakingly do don't expect them to return, of course unless by mistake!
People want opinions - good or bad! They want to know what others have experienced with the same product.specila guest: nick from
