Using Blogs To Turbo-charge Your Seo Efforts!

Today I am going to finish off my mini article series by showing you a specific back door route, if you like, to topping the search engines.

You may or may not have heard of blogs, which are sometimes called web blogs. These are essentially online diaries and at this moment in time everyone from 10 to 100 years of age seems to be blogging. Why? Because its simple, easy and fun.

We, however, will want to blog for another reasonto make money! Let me explain

Blogs, or online diaries, are set up in a way that the search engines just love. They have good and relevant content, and they can often get tons and tons of links back to them.

The great thing about a blog is you can set one up without any web site experience whatsoever. If you go to blogger.com you can set up your own blog within five minutes. From there, using what you have learnt in these articles, you can start promoting either your own products or other peoples products (in exchange for a commission).

Another difference between a blog and a web site is that with a web site, each time you add a new article you have to create a new web page. With blogs each new post is a new web page in the search engines eyes. Bearing in mind that you can add a new blog post in less than five seconds Im sure you can see the power of blogging for the search engines!

So how do you go about blogging for profit? Well heres a simple five step approach you can use to go and start earning today:

1) Go to blogger.com and set up a blog. Use your main keyword as the title of your blog. If its already taken call it niche world or niche planet. For example rose gardening world, rose gardening planet

2) Hire a writer or write your own optimised articles on your niche subject that specifically focus on one set of keywords. Create or have created at least ten articles.

3) Post an article a day to your blog.

4) Write a press releases about your blog and submit it to prweb.com

5) Use the blogger search function and find blogs related to yours. Make genuine comments on their blog and link back to yours.

Using this simple formula you can do very well in the search engines with minimal effort or technical know how.

Have you enjoyed these articles on SEO optimisation for the beginner? I hope you have, as Ive loved writing them. This is a subject that both fascinates and excites me because I know how much is to be made!

Online Articles - Don't Write Just For Readers

Online articles have to written in a way that gets the readers attention, holds it through the article, and gets the click through to your web site. Writing for the reader may be the most important part of online writing. However, it isn't the only important part.

Who else do you need to write for? If you want your articles to go beyond the directories in which you post them, you have to write for newsletter and web site owners - potential publishers of your articles. Ideally, your online articles should spread around the internet, creating more and more incoming links for your website. Each of these links is a potential stream of income.

For example, when I wrote an article for my web site, The Secret Information Site .com, I posted it in several directories. I didn't get much traffic directly from the directories, but soon a decent web site took and published the article in their newsletter and on the site. Within weeks, they had generated dozens of sales of my ebook for me. This was almost a year ago, and I still get sales from there every week.

Writing Online Articles For Webmasters

Newsletter publishers and web site owners like an interesting article, the same as any readers. However, they have other concerns as well. They are running a business, so they want an article that helps generate income. Here are some of the specific things they look for.

1. They have few links. Generally one link in your author's resource box should be enough for your purposes. More than that, and you are likely to scare away potential users of your article. Site owners don't want too many non-paying ways for visitors to leave their site. They get your article without direct cost, but they "pay" you for your article with that link, and three links my be too expensive. It is also bad form to put links in online articles now - keep them to the resource box.

2. They are not sales letters. Your "Why My Site Is Best," and "Ten Reasons To Buy My Product" articles will not be used. For the sake of the publishers of your articles and the readers, articles should be informative or entertaining, but not a sales pitch. Selling should be limited to the "About The Author" box.

3. They are short. Long article mean slower loading times for the pages they are published on. There also has to be room for the publishers advertising, navigational links, and more. If you keep your online articles between 300 and 800 words, they will be published more often.

4. They have simple HTML. Many publishers just copy articles from a directory without copying the HTML code. They know how to make the link active, but they may not want to recreate your highlighting, side bars and graphics. Use bold tags and italics, and not much else.

5. They are keyword optimized. The publisher should be able to recognize the primary keyword in the title, and see it in the first and last paragraphs of the article. Notice that "online articles" is used in the title, and body of this article. A publisher hopes that your article will generate new search engine traffic to his site, so decent keyword optimization makes your article more likely to be chosen.

Windows Vista: Secure Or Just Frustrating?

Modern operating systems such as Mac OS X operate under a security model where even administrative users don't get full access to certain features unless they provide an in-place logon before performing any task that might harm the system. This security setup protects users from themselves, and it is something that Microsoft should have added to Windows several years ago.

Here's the good news. In Windows Vista, Microsoft is indeed moving to this kind of security model. The feature is called User Account Protection (UAP) and, as you might expect, it prevents even administrative users from performing potentially dangerous tasks without first providing security credentials. Sounds good, right? Before you agree, remember this is Microsoft were talking about. They made a royal mess of UAP.

The bad news, then, is that UAP is a sad, sad joke. It's the most annoying feature that Microsoft has ever added to any software product, and yes, that includes that ridiculous paperclip character from older Office versions. The problem with UAP is that it generates an unbelievable number of warning pop-ups for even the simplest of tasks. The frequency with which these warnings pop-up for the same action would be comical if it weren't so amazingly frustrating. One could almost laugh thinking of the millions of people rushing into computers stores to purchase a new PC preloaded with Vista, completely unaware of what they are getting themselves into. Its almost criminal in its insidiousness.

To fully appreciate just how frustrating Vistas implementation of UAP truly is, well look at a simple example. One of the first things I do whenever I install a new Windows version is download and install Mozilla Firefox. Overlooking, for a moment, the number of warnings during the download/install process still leaves us with one glaring issue. Once Firefox is installed, there are two icons on my Desktop I'd like to remove: The Setup application itself and a shortcut to Firefox. I simply select both icons and drag them to the Recycle Bin. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Here's what you have to go through to actually delete those files in Windows Vista. First, you get a File Access Denied dialog explaining that you don't, in fact, have permission to delete a ... shortcut?? To an application you just installed! Seriously? OK, fine. You can click a Continue button to "complete this operation." But that doesn't complete anything. It just clears the desktop for the next dialog, which is a Windows Security window. Here, you need to give your permission to continue something opaquely called a "File Operation." Click Allow, and you're done. Hey, that's not too bad, right? What's the big deal?

What if you're doing something a bit more complicated? Well, lucky you, the dialogs stack right up, one after the other, in a seemingly never-ending display of stupidity. Indeed, sometimes you'll find yourself unable to do certain things for no good reason, and you click Allow buttons until you're blue in the face. It will never stop bothering you, until you agree to give up and leave that file on the desktop where it belongs. This will happen to you, and you will hate it.

The problem with Vistas security implementation is that lots of warning dialog boxes don't provide security. Users get frustrated and eventually stop reading them altogether. They think of them as annoyances, an extra click required to get a feature to work. Is Windows Vista really more secure than the operating systems that preceded it, or simply more frustrating? Since Microsoft left us with no choice but to buy a PC with Vista pre-installed, were inevitably stuck with it. Let the frustration begin.
