How To Make Logo in Blog And Use Blog Priorities?

The Logo :-

When you get some money available to invest in
your blog, spend it on a logo. Why? Because a logo

can be attached to any template or design, and it
will give a unique look to your blog and
reinforce your brand.
By far the best website to purchase a logo from is
99designs.com.

 

You basically create a contest for your logo,
 

specifying a prize, and their community of designers
 

will submit entries. You will be able to interact with
 

the designers, and after one week or so you will
 

choose the winning entry. I have seen awesome
 

logos being submitted for prizes as low as $150
 

(which is the minimum amount).

Priorities : -
 

There are literally hundreds of things that you could
want visitors of your blog to do. Examples include:
 read at least one post,
 read as many posts as possible,
 read your most popular posts,

 subscribe to the RSS feed,
 subscribe to the email newsletter,
 click on affiliate links and make a purchase,
 click on ads,
 submit a post to a social bookmarking site,
 check your profile on social networks,
 check the blogs on your Blogroll,
 leave a comment,
 bookmark your website on the browser,
 email one of your posts to a friend,
 download your ebook, and
 purchase your product.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to design a blog in a
way that all of those things will be encouraged.
Some people try, but the result is a lot of clutter that
only confuses visitors, creating a terrible user
experience.

This means that you will need to prioritize. I
recommend that you write down five top priorities,
and then design the elements of your blog around
these priorities.
Whatever does not support the priorities should be
removed, or at least moved to a place where it won't
get in the way of the user experience (e.g., the
footer).
Obviously the number five is just a rule of thumb, so
feel free to change it. The key message is: the
fewer things you “ask” your visitors to do, the
higher the chances that they will actually do
them.

There Is an Ideal Posting Frequency?

When people start blogging, they often wonder if
there is an ideal posting frequency. The answer is
“no.” There are popular blogs out there where the
author only posts once a week, while others get
updated several times per day.

 

If you need to choose between quality and quantity,
therefore, go with quality. In other words, only
publish a post if you believe that it will add value to
your blog and audience. A bad post is worse than
no post at all, because it might damage the image
of your blog and make you lose readers.
That being said, if you want to make significant
money with your blog, you will need to have both
quality and quantity. It is no coincidence that
most blogs on the Technorati Top 100 list publish
new content every day.

 

If you can't publish daily posts, at least make sure
that you have a regular schedule. For example, post
two times per week and stick with it.
It would also be a good idea if you could post on the
same days every week, and even at the same hour
of the day. This regularity would give your readers
the confidence that they will always find some fresh
content on your blog.

How To Get a Lot of Content Ideas to Some Places For New Post

Sooner or later most bloggers struggle to come up
with ideas for new posts. The first step to combat
this problem is to develop the habit of writing
your ideas down. Whenever you come across
something that could lead to a blog post, write it
down. Use pen and paper, a white-board, or even a
text processor in your computer. Just make sure to
have a place where you can store and organize your
ideas.

 






















 Another tactic that you could use is to leave many
post drafts ready to go. Once you are sure that
one of your ideas could indeed be a good post, go to
your blogging software and write the draft for that
post. Include the headline as well as the main
points. Then whenever you feel like writing on that
topic, open the draft and finish it.
If despite using the methods above you are still
lacking ideas for new posts, here are some tricks
that you can use. The first one is the Google
AdWords Keyword Tool. Simply go there and input
some keywords related to your niche. If you have a
video game blog, for instance, run the tool for
keywords like “video games”, “playstation”, “xbox”
and the like. After that you will just need to check
the long tail of results to identify topics that you
could write about.
You can also use social bookmarking sites to find
what is hot around the web and get ideas for new
posts. Here is list with some popular ones that you c
an use:
17
 Digg.com
 StumbleUpon.com
 Reddit.com
 Delicious.com
Finally, take a look on external places and try to
identify ideas that could be adapted inside your own
niche. This include mainstream websites, blogs on
other niches, newspapers, print magazines,
television programs and the like.

How To Get Valuable, Unique and Engaging Content By Website and Pdf

 Quality content must be valuable, unique and
engaging.
 

It must be valuable because people need a reason
 

to visit your blog. This value will have different
 

forms, depending on the type of blog that you have.
 

Readers of a tech news blog, for example, will get
 

value if the posts keep them informed and up to
 

date with the latest tech developments. Readers of
 

a humor blog, on the other hand, will get value if the
 

posts entertain them and make them laugh. The
 

important thing is to make sure that your readers
 

will get something in return for the attention they
 

will lend to you.
 

Quality content must also be unique, else people
 

won't need to visit your blog to read it. If you start a
 

news blog and simply write about all the stories that
 

appear on the New York Times, for example, you will
 

have a hard time finding readers, because most
 

people will prefer to visit the original source.
 

Finally, quality content must be engaging. Blogs
 

became immensely popular on the Internet because
 

they transformed monologues into conversations. If
 

you want a popular blog, you need to build a
 

community around it. Practically speaking, this
 

means that you should write with a personal touch,
 

share your opinions where appropriate, ask direct
 

questions to your readers, use their comments as
 

base for your posts and so on.

How to Use Bookmarking Websites and Social Networking Website For Increase Site Traffic

Social bookmarking sites allow users to store and
 

share bookmarks of pages from around the web.
 

Most of them use a ranking system to determine
 

what bookmarks and submissions are popular
 

among the community, and usually those get
 

displayed on the front page.
 

One of the most popular social bookmarking sites is
 

Digg.com.
 

If one of your blog posts gets featured on the Digg
 

homepage you can expect to receive anywhere from
 

20,000 up to 100,000 visitors in a matter of 24
 

hours. The drawback of Digg is the fact that it is
 

hard to get promoted to the front page, as there is a
 

lot of competition from larger websites.
 

StumbleUpon.com is another large social
 

bookmarking site, and it works around a toolbar that
 

users must install on their browsers.
 

The advantage of StumbleUpon over Digg is the fact
 

even a small number of votes can bring some traffic
 

to your site, and that traffic can last several days.
 

Other social bookmarking sites that you could try
include:
 

 Reddit.com
 

 Delicious.com

 Mixx.com
 

 Propeller.com
 

 ShoutWire.com
 

 Fark.com
 

 Buzz.Yahoo.com
 

 Newsvine.com
 

 Faves.com
 

The important thing is to dedicate some time
 

to using those sites and trying to understand
 

the tacit rules around them. Analyze what kind
 

of content gets promoted to the front page, how the
 

headlines are crafted, what kind of comments the
 

users leave and so on.
 

4.5 Social Networks
 

Social networks are useful marketing tools because
 

they allow you to interact with your existing
 

audience on different channels and because they
 

can also be leveraged to attract new visitors.
 

The first network that you should use is 

Twitter -

 

given its exponential growth on the web.
 

You could create an account with the name of your
 

blog and use it to share posts from your blog and
 

relevant links from around the web. Your goal is to
 

create value through your tweets while interacting
 

with as many people as possible.
 

Facebook is another popular social network you
should try.
 

Create a personal profile for yourself there, and then
 

a page for your blog. Make sure to explore the other
 

features as well, including the ability to post
 

pictures, videos, articles, and to interact with
 

groups.
 

Finally, consider using niche social networks as well.
 

They will probably be smaller and have less traffic
 

generation potential, but you will be able to find a
 

very targeted audience on them. Here is a list that
 

you can use with over 400 niche social networks.

4.6 Promoting Killer Articles
 

Your promotional activities should focus on two
 

points: promoting your blog as a whole (i.e., by
 

leaving comments on related blogs) and promoting
 

your killer articles.
 

In the first chapter of this ebook I already covered
 

the concept of killer articles, but here are some
 

tactics that you can use to promote those articles
 

after you hit the “Publish” button:
 

 Email all the people in your network to let them
 

know about the article.
 

 Email the owners of blogs and websites in
 

relevant niches and let them know about the
 

article.
 

 Ask a friend to submit the article to a suitable
 

social bookmarking site.
 Give the submission an initial push by asking
 

other friends and contacts to vote on it.

Mention the article and link to it from your
 

social networking accounts.

Link to the article from other blogs and
 

websites that you might own.

If the article has a good chance of ranking high
 

for a keyword, do some linkbuilding focused on
that keyword.
