How will you use this information to the fullest?

 

This time I’m posting from the "Top Of The World".

I’m in Tibet for a few weeks of meditation and Vipassana, so I mustn’t talk at all for three weeks (greatmind purification), eating only natural food (trying to forget the taste of my favorite french food), based on plants and  meditating most of the time in a small village  on the Himalayan mountains.. can you picture it?

Every morning i walk for about a mile from the village to a higher point of the mountain, surrounded by green grass which is so bright green from the sun that it’s practically impossible to even imagine that such a green  color can exist. The top of the mountains are white from the never ending snow and it feels like heaven.

Sitting on my Small blanket I’m staying on the same point for about twelve hours – meditating.  I feel so clean, i don’t think anymore , just absorbing, i don’t walk anymore, I’m floating, I’m not talking to anyone including my self, i  don’t hear those inner voices anymore BUT I can clearly hear and see the grass growing and the silence, did you ever hear the silence?

I’m just sitting near God while he is the only one that can hear me playing my guitar and i am telling you he’s the greatest audience ever .

As this is the tenth day so i can do other things then meditating the whole day, just to be back to the real world for a few hours and since there’s a nice french lady here that will leave today and she promised me she’ll log in to my Getresponse account to send you an email, i took some papers with me to my favorite place and Iv’e decided that i would write about blogging.

I have some quite successful blogs and i love blogging,  I think that in our days in order to be successful online and to make money you should declare the same as i did just right now.

You should Keep people interested in your blog, whether it is a business or personal blog and the key is to attract a lot of regular visitors.

"Persistence" is all it takes   As in everything you want to be successful in in life!

Many blogs have died because people have just lost interest in blogging.
I receive many emails from my regular subscribers asking me how do you keep on blogging? How come that you have so much to write about? what’s your preferred blogging platform? what are the best  plugin’s to use on blogs? and is it worth the efforts you put into blogging? etc.

So, I’ve decided to write an ebook about it but as it not ready yet (I’m in vacation in Tibet:),  i will complete the book as soon as I’ll be back. The book is mostly about my blogging principals,  it will answer most of bloggers questions. and i promise it won’t be like most of the blogging books you’ve read before.

The main reason for the lack of interest that most of us feel is simply a lack of ideas to post as a blogger.

As I’ve a friend who you might have heard about, Jason Potash from the "Kahuna" inc, Jason is an Internet marketing pro by all means so i simply asked him to participate in posting from time to time on my blog so when i feel the lack of ideas i know that he will have one and vice versa. But, Jason as a fast action guy created the "Syndicate Kahuna" website and blogs plugin that goes with it.
Syndicate kahuna is by far the the fast, free way to feed your blogs fresh content and by joining the content syndication, bloggers can get more links, traffic, leads and influence their blog rankings. Read on..

You might be asking yourself, what is frequent posting? How many blog entries should I make on  a given week? How do I make frequent consistently good posts? What are the reasons for me to post frequently?

So, what is frequent posting?

Frequent blog posting is posting enough to keep your readers interested. Obviously, people will  not want to come back to a blog that hasn’t been updated in months. They want to see  consistent posting so that they know coming back to check the blog next week to see if there are  more posts won’t be a waste of time.
 

How many blog entries should I make each week? and Why is frequent posting important?

This is one of the tougher questions to answer. It really depends on the purpose of your blog. If it’s a personal blog, a weekly or twice weekly update is an excellent idea. A political/sports/music/religion blog should have 3-4 posts per week.

For a business and Internet marketing/blogging related blogs i would suggest to post every day or at least 4 posts per week. The thing to remember is that fresh content and quality content is what really counts. Posting frequently just for the sake of posting frequently tends to result in sub par posts which people won’t care about. It is important to find a balance/frequent, quality posts that won’t result in burnout on your part.

Blogs are meant to be outlets for individuals  or businesses. They are used to get an opinion  out on something and to engage readers. Readers need to have something that makes them want to keep coming back to a blog. That something is usually fresh content, quality, frequent posts.

How do I create quality postings on a consistent basis?

It’s all about following a consistent pattern of writing and when you’ll get into one, ideas will come and writing will be easier. Maybe you’re not a natural writer and this is difficult. That’s why i’ll give you an outline to help you.

Pick a topic that is interesting to you and to your readers. Maybe if your blog is a personal  blog, you could write about the latest happenings with you, A review about a new movie you just saw, An interesting book you’ve read etc. In a business and Internet marketing related blogs you should write about new products that you’re personally USING, Industry news etc.

But never write just just for the sake of writing about anything you;ll find in the market. To be like everyone is easy and wont benefit you in anyway.

If you are advising to your readers about a new product, a new coaching program etc.  Make sure to use it before, make sure it’ll work for them, make sure there’s really something new in this coaching program and the person you recommend  is worth your recommendations, MAKE sure you  would want someone you trust in to advice you  to use it.

Well the solution and answer to the questions above is that i use per times on my others blog of Forex, ecommerce and music related blogs, (basically niches that i’m not mastered) Jason’s plugin for regular, frequent, fresh and unique content posting, which will keep your readers interested as they’ll know that by coming back or by subscribing to your RSS feed will let them read new posts and interesting content every time they check what’s new.

Using Jason’s plugin doesn’t mean that you won’t need to write anymore, but it will help you to fill the blanks.

You must insist to write your own content as it  is your blog and you’ll need readers to identify  your writing and way if thinking. That’s the only way to become an authority in your field and  that’s is your main target by blogging.

The use of this special plugin will boost your blog’s ranking in Alexa and the search engines as it does to mine and it is essential to the  survival of any blog.

So go ahead and use this free service, install the plugin, set the categories, posting time, name of the author, set it to one post a day and you’ll have professionally written fresh content everyday on your blog to feed your readers and the search engine.

You can add your content to syndicate kahuna as well (as i’m doing) and you’ll be able to read more about the benefits of adding your content on the home page

Here’s your invitation as it’s by invitation Only

There’s two posting options to take into consideration.

The first is automatic/publishing posting and the second is waiting to approve posting.
I’m using the second one as i want to optimize the posts before publishing. In order to  understand the reason why, i will talk about..

"Deep linking strategy"

Deep linking is crucial for ranking high and by doing it we are giving the reader more related content to read while reading the post.

What i mean by optimizing and deep linking is that while reading the post, I’m trying to deep link and to optimize it, i will link the keywords used in the post to relevant inner and older post of my blog.

I can link to a single post title which carries the same keyword used as the anchor text, to a blog page or a product i would want to promote even if the post content doesn’t talk about the product.

I’m just using the relevant keyword as an anchor text to link to the same keyword used on the post/page that promoted the product.

Using the keyword is crucial as this is the correct way to use deep linking strategy BUT do not over doing it as it might hurt you. Three to four keywords deep linking in a post of 700-800 words is the right amount to consider

After you’re done with this step, insert your keywords in the tags section and fill in the SEO platinum box with the post title,description and keywords and your done, now it’s the time to publish your post.

Platinum SEO Plugin

Keywords

Before writing your content, pick out some keywords that are relevant to your blog. If you naturally use keywords throughout your  post, you will please search engine spiders which will get your blog ranked higher on search engines. Your visitors won’t mind the  use of keywords if they are used in a tasteful  way.

SEO points of view in using your keywords are..

1. If possible try to place your blog keyword that’s relevant to your blog post in the beginning of the post title. if impossible, do not insist, you must take into consideration that the post must be reader friendly in all cost.

Begin writing your post. Don’t limit yourself to a particular amount of words. Just do what’s natural. And if any blog post is hard for you to  continue writing, just take a timeout and relax.  (You can meditate a bit:) )

You should be able to finish the post a bit later on, after you’ve had some time to think things  through, you should be able to finish the post with no problems.

2. Try to place the keyword in the Post last sentence or to end the post with the keyword.

Gaining and maintaining visitors isn’t the only reason to post often in your blog. Catching the  eye of a search engine and achieving a high ranking is another valid reason for posting  frequently.

Most likely, each posting in your blog features some keywords or keyword phrases scattered  throughout it.

Logic says that the more natural keywords you have on a blog, the better. Thus, the more posts you make on your blog, the more keywords you  have on there. And the more keywords you have, the more likely a search engine bot is to crawl your site. The more your site is crawled by bots, the more likely it is that you will have a high ranking  on a search engine.

But always stay within the limit borders of your blog main subject.

Use the Platinum SEO plugin.

I could write hundreds words about it but i simply say this is the absolute SEO plugin, it’ll take care of your blog and post keywords for search engine purposes, so you;ll never have to worry about them anymore.

In your admin panel , go to "setting"  and configure it by entering your blog title, description and keywords.
On every post page you’ll see it down the page so you can add post relevant keywords every time you’re writing a new post.

Cordially,

Shhh.. I mustn’t talk, Love,

What are your thoughts on the subject?

If you cannot answer this question clearly and precisely, the task of ranking higher will be exponentially more difficult. Search engines attempt to rank the very best website(s) with the most relevant fresh content first in their results, and until your website content is the best in its field, you will always struggle against the search engines rather than bringing them to your doorstep.

It is in content quality that a website true potential shows through, and although search engines cannot measure the likelihood that users will enjoy a website, the vote via links system operates as a proxy for identifying the best fresh content in a market. With fresh content, therefore, come great links and, ultimately, high rankings.

Deliver the fresh content that internet marketers need, and the search engines will reward your website.

Fresh Content quality, however, like professional design, is not always dictated by strict rules and guidelines. What passes for “best” in one sector may be below average in another market. The competitiveness and interests of your peers and competitors in a space often determine what kind of content is necessary to rank.

Despite these variances, however, several guidelines can be almost universally applied to produce fresh content that is worthy of attention:

Research Your Field.
Get out into the forums, blogs, and communities where internet marketers spend their online discussion time.

Note the most frequently asked questions, the most up-to-date topics, the WSO’s and the posts or headlines that generate the most interest. Apply this knowledge when you create fresh content and directly address internet marketer’s needs.

Consult and Publish in Partnership with Industry Experts In any industry, there will be high-level, publically prominent internet marketing experts as well as a second tier of “well-known in internet marketing circles” folks. Targeting either of these groups for collaborative efforts in publishing article, reviewing your work or contributing (even via a few small quotes) can be immensely valuable. In this manner, you can be assured that your fresh content is both link and visitor-worthy. In addition, when partnering with “internet marketing experts”, exposure methods are built-in, creating natural promotion angles.

Create Documents that Can Serve as One-Stop Resources If you can provide a single article or resource that provides every aspect of what a potential visitor or internet marketer might be seeking, your chances for success in SEO go up.

An “all-in-one” resource can provide more opportunities than a single subject resource in many cases. Don’t be too broad as you attempt to execute this kind of fresh content creation – it’s still important to keep a narrow focus when you create your post.

The best balance can be found by putting yourself in the potential users’ shoes – if your piece fits their needs and covers every side of their possible interests while remaining “on-message,” you’re ready to proceed.

Provide fresh Information
Make sure that when you design your content outline, you include data and information that can be found nowhere else. While collecting and amalgamating information across the web can create good content, it is the unique elements in your work that will be noticed and recommended.

Serve Important Content in a Non-Commercial Format.
Creating a document format that is non-commercial is of exceptional importance for attracting links and attention. The communities of website(s) and content builders are particularly attuned to the commercialization of the web and will consciously and sub-consciously link to and recommend resources that don’t serve prominent or interfering advertising. If you must post ads, do so as subtlety and unobtrusively as possible.

One Great Page is Worth a Thousand Good Pages!

While dozens of on-topic pages that cover sections of an industry are valuable to a website’(s) growth, it is actually far better to invest a significant amount of time and energy producing a few optimized articles of truly exceptional quality. To create documents that become “industry standard” on the web and are pointed to time after time as the “source” for further investigations, claims, documents, etc. is to truly succeed in the rankings battle.

Hopefully these tips have been helpful. What do you think?

 

Article Marketing

Article marketing is one of the most incredible strategies ever to be incorporated with online advertising . It has proven to be the most cost-efficient and most effective of them.

By the term itself, you probably would know what this kind of marketing is about. By writing articles that are content-rich, you will be able to reach more people online and drive targeted traffic to your website. Not only that, you will be able to brand your company name and project a credible image to those who may have chanced upon your articles.

For a long time now there has been a lot of buzz in the online world about article marketing, but I am still frequently asked how to make it work? A brief answer is that like any large medium, the internet is hungry for fresh content.

You’ve heard the saying before that, "content is king". That’s not completely true, “Unique and Fresh content is king”.

If you have tons of truly great content that the search engines refuse to recognize because they’ve seen it before elsewhere, what good is it doing you? None!!

Search engines algorithms are constantly becoming more sensitive to, and tougher on, duplicate content. You need unique and fresh content that will produce results both with the search engines and with your readers.

However, unlike other media outlets such as TV, radio and newspapers, which generally only use content from professional writers, on the internet, anyone can publish. Article marketing is a way of taking advantage of that freedom and using the medium as a way to bring targeted traffic stream to your website or blog.

Modern search marketing trends require staying updated so that a good and fresh content from your articles marketing campaigns matters a great deal for generating targeted Traffic to your website.

Let’s think about natural human behaviour – especially natural human behaviour online. When people are searching for information online, they are really ’scanning’ words and looking for the title questions and answers that ‘pop out’ to them, Also, people that search for information online are going through a LOT of words and get a bit tired of reading all the fluffy stuff to try and find their solution.

Readers are scanning answers but what if a good question pops up from the article? What if they didn’t even thought this question is related to the basic idea they are reading your article for? What if they find a series of those questions and answers?

In this case the discussed human behaviour above is changing to satisfy the curiosity those questions raised and then your readers will take the time to close reading, take notes, even bookmark the article or better, as statistics shows that probably they will click the link to your website to get what you offer.

Yes But How To get your website pop up in the search engines when people conduct search?

One of the secrets to article marketing is that you have to ask the right questions, respond with the right answers while keeping the right keyword density rate in order that you article will pop up in the search engines when people conduct search.

So how to do it?

Write an article and put your strategic keyword in the questions/titles.

Bold the keyword. (According to my experience, it helps the search engines robots to quickly index the article based on the keyword used)

Respond with the right answers based on the keyword used in the question and try to place this keyword at the beginning of the answer phrase or up to the fifth word.

Try to keep a keyword density rate of 2% in the answer and up to 3% keyword density rate thought all the article.

For a 400-500 words article I’m using one keyword or keyword phrase while keeping 1.5% keyword density rate, For 800 -1200 words article I’m using up to four keywords while keeping 3% keyword density rate for the main keyword , 2% keyword density rate for the second keyword and 1% keyword density rate for the rest of my keywords.  Usually most of my articles are considered as fresh content for the search engines and dominate Google first page.

Very important to remember is to place the main keyword at the beginning and the end of the article body just like you can see on this article, it’s a tip that i recently learnt and it’s a good addition to article marketing seo.

Dear Reader, not long ago, one of the most estimated marketers launch “Answer Analyst” software which immediately was concede red as the ultimate article marketing tool.

What's your opinion on this?

Articles Marketing

 

 

Articles Marketingis one of the most effective ways to drive Targeted Traffic to our websites among PPC, Links building strategies, Bookmarking, Social marketing etc.  and among those i have found that one of the fastest way is Articles marketing which drives targeted traffic  and if done the right way, Articles marketing is branding your name and website.

We already noticed that the search engines are interested in fresh content, and if well written in all aspects, your article might be republished on some well trafficked/authorities sites. The more “Important” sites linking to you from your Articles resources box, the more traffic you will get from the search engines for your main keywords searches. Slowly but surly your site will be indexed as an authority website on the niche and you, as an expert on the topics you write about.

This will give you and your business extra credibility and if your website is well optimized it results in higher ranking. As long as you will maintain a steady rhythm of One well optimized article submission per week to the Articles directories (right box), Your article might be placed on the publisher’s home page which will give you some extra exposure and you will gain people’s trust.

A well optimised article must contain the right density. According to my experience, to gain Google first page and even to dominate the first page can be a fast process, days or even hours, if my article is optimize for not more then two words or one keyword phrase and it’s proven original content (copyscape).

I use to cover a topic in an article of 700-800 words and I manage to have the main keyword in the title of the article trying to keep it on 25%-30% of the title and to start the title with the keyword as well (if possible). I will start to write the article with the main keyword and if impossible, I will try to place it at the beginning of the phrase up to the fifth word.

A rule to follow is to maintain keyword density between the <body></body> Tags to 1 keyword per 100 words (1:100), and to try to end the article with the same keyword.

The Resources Box

The purpose of this post is to let you know about the fast benefits that articles marketing brings if done the right way to branding your name and website, So in order to end our article the right way we use the "Bio box" or "Resources Box" in a clever way which can result in getting the desired backlinks to our site. Our goal is to try to write it in a short way that will reflect our credentials, To include our business details such as website address and most important to follow the Directories Guidelines. You should link with deep thinking on the title and anchor text, and to conceder placing the main keyword at the beginning of the anchor text.

Those are the rules I follow when I am submitting my articles and most of the times my articles results on the first page or dominating it. The domination of a page is when my article appears on more then three or four places on the page related to the keyword I used in the article, so my article dominate 40% of the results for the keyword searches.

Articles Directories

I know that some of us think that if we submit our articles to hundreds of Articles directories, we’ll have a chance to get a lot of backlinks. Again, according to my experience, submitting my articles to the 6 – 12 main Articles directories gets the results i’m after while submitting to hundreds of directories never brought me a large number of quality backlinks.

Baklinking strategy is all about getting quality links, carrying my keywords, which will drive targeted traffic to my websites. I am not interested in getting links from Gardening websites using gardening keywords when my purpose is getting links from high trafficked/authorities websites displying my keywords in their Meta keyword tags.

If that’s Google way – It’s my way as well.

Links building is another vast topic and we’ll have the opportunity to discuss it on my next posts. Articles Marketing is very effective if we maintain a steady writing and submitting rhythm.  Google first page position for your keywords will come faster then you might think but in order to stay around the first page for long periods, we need persistence. I am aware that time management and Focus is what most marketers needs in order to succeed online so in my time management program, Articles Marketing is set for Monday after i had the weekend time to refresh my idea’s for a well optimized Monday morning article writing.

Please leave your comments and tell me about your ways to target Google first page with Articles Marketing.
