Add subscribe to social bookmarking button for blogger

2007-03-20T16:24:00.000-07:00

As a new blogger I rather confused how the way I can dress up my blog with some buttons or widgets of social bookmarking sites. I don't want lost my readers and I want to drive my readers to add my blog at their favorite social bookmarking sites like Digg and other such sites. What I learned that by submitting a blog to bookmarkers can drive massive traffics for our blog.

It’s the strategy of using social bookmarking sites to publicly share information about your websites. And
that, of course, leads to whatever methods are used to generate income (product sales, Adsense revenue, affiliate promotions). The truth is, more and more people are getting frustrated with the inaccurate nature of search engine results. Because of that, there’s been a substantial rise in the percentage of people who are turning to bookmarking sites to find what they’re looking for. So here the social bookmarking sites power, to drive peoples for more relevant contents.

So I found and I use these two free tools to put cool widgets in my blog with bookmarking badges or widgets (other name is chicklet). The first is a free service from AddThis.com and the second is a free bookmarking chicklets from PopularBlogspot.com, both are cool enough for me. Even the aim of both services is kind like the same that offering to put some bookmarking buttons to a blog. As far as I know that some CMS and Blogging platforms such wordpress or Typepad had provided any add on or additional module to put up bookmarking widgets. But how about a blogger.com hosted blog like what I currently use now? With these tool above now we can add some bookmarking widgets to a blog hosted at Blogger.com with only copying some codes given and paste it to blog template.

But which one of both tools I should use? can I use the two of them together? Just choose the more suitable for your blog that can fit more blended to dress up your blog with these widgets. Yes of course you can use the two of them together coz they'll display different buttons for your blog. Oke I'll explain it more below with all what I knew.

Add This! Social Bookmark and Feed Button - Web2.0 Social Media Optimization

with the main slogan "Simple and recognizable widgets to help your visitors save and promote your website or blog to the social bookmarking and feed reader services". This website provide subscribtion to most major social bookmarklet sites from digg, delicious, reddit, until tailrank. Diplayed Buttons: Addthis.com will display only a single cool and interesting button inside a blog pages, it will be looked like this or as what you can see in the end of this post. So when your blog readers see this buttons it will encourages them to bookmark your blog post to their favorite social bookmarking sites that are able to be selected at addthis.com page after they click the button. Yeah that is mean that your visitor will be redirected to addthis.com sites before they go to the bookmarklet they like. Until this article posted addthis.com still provides to submit your blog to 30 different social bookmarking sites. Here the list of those sutes; Delicious, Digg, Reddit, MyBrowser, Stumble upon, Ask, Simpy, Raw sugar, blinklist, backflip, Spurl, Mister Wong, Netvouz, Diigo, Segnalo, Google bookmarks, Furl, Newsvine, My Yahoo/ Yahoo myweb, Technorati, Live bookmarks, Blogmarks, Netscape, Shadows, Wink, LinkaGoGo, Feed me links, Magnolia, Blue Dot, and TailRank. Sorry for not displaying direct link to the site if you interesting you can go to the link pages directly by testing to click a "Bookmark" button below this post.

PopularBlogspot.com add bookmarker chicklet to your blog.

What is PopularBlogspot.com? This is only a site that will helping you to make your blog popular by adding cool social bookmarking chicklets. This website provides the Lite version and the complete version of bookmarklet widgets to use in our blog. The Lite version is displaying 8 social bookmarking buttons and the complete will be diplaying 30 chicklets, both are Free. The main difference of Popularblogspot.com with AddThis.com is that Popularblogspot will not redirect your readers to the site at first like what addthis did, but it will display the true social bookmarking chicklets right away inside our blog pages. Than your visitor can choose what is their favorite bookmarklet should be to use without going to open and redirected to the other site. Suggest you to use The Lite version coz it only diplays 8 badges, the complete version will display 30 badges at once in a single raw or even in a single coloumn. You can choose four different styles for each version (Lite or Complete). The Lite version includes Delicious, Digg, Google bookmarker, Yahoo MyWeb, Blink list, Spurl, Furl, and Simpy. The complete version is aproximately the same like Addthis.com

So which one you will use? if you enjoyed this post don't forget to leave me your comments below. You don't need to login to Blogger account to add comments.

How to add emoticons and smilies in blog posting

2007-03-19T15:14:00.000-07:00

I was wondering before, how can I add emoticons and smiley inside my blog post but I'm using a blog hosted at Blogger.com? There is no complete WYSIWYG editor to post my articles, contents, and some reviews such in wordpress powered blog or other blog platforms and several articles CMS. So I start searching away in Google and I found many sites provide Free emoticons and cool smilies. Then I download them to my hardisk but I still confused how to put it inside my blog posting. So I try to upload it to Imageshack and other free image hosting. Than I realize that it is not an effective way to add smilies inside my posting.

Do you ever feel like what I did? so I recommend you to try this ;

[1] Visit eMoticonizer, this site provides free ready to use emoticons and cool animated smilies for forums and blog posting. This site is great coz of its simplicity in adding smilies inside posting.

[2] Find the suitable emoticons or smiley face according what you want to express your words of your post.

[3] As what you see this site provides two kinds of code, html and BbCode. Because the title of this article is how to post smilies in a blog (blogger.com hosted) than copy the HTML code and paste it directly inside your post. The BbCode is aimed for forums posting.

[4] Then you are done. But as this site provides many smilies in their page so sometimes you will get to slow accesing this side, especially if you are using a dial up connection. So how to get instanly posting smilies without accesing this site? you can download the emoticonizer tool here for direct use. By using this tool you will not need to open the site to get cool smilies for your posting.

Skyrocket Earning from a dump blog, how to.

2007-03-14T15:18:00.000-07:00

This is not a SEO black hat way. This tutorial is a tricky tips how to get some earning from blog and skyrocket them. The concept of this article is to get more earning from any ads putted at your blog with easy way without confusing for content writing. So we will make a dump blog with a weight of contents quantity is bigger than contents quality.

With only a dump blog you can generate revenue and earn money from adbrite, cliksor, adsense, chitika, bidvertiser, and (put your revenue maker and favorite contextual ads here!! – Website/blog Monetizing program)

They are lots of articles how to increase earning from many PPC ads and much of them suggest making quality content on a specific topic, but what will I explain is DON’T MAKE QUALITY CONTENT TO MAKE MONEY. If you don’t understand how blog can make money online, ProBlogger has much explanation for this. But please, me myself do not responsible and do not encourage you to do such things written below.

Ok now let’s go thru the dump blog cooking receipt.

[1] Always remember the concept, DON’T MAKE QUALITY CONTENTS TO EARN MONEY from your blog. But just make a content rich of keywords.

[2] Now make your blog at first. For cost saving reasons so you can only make it at Blogger.com or at Wordpress.com and dress up a little to make your ads blend with your blog template and content.

[3] Now the core of this nice receipt, how to get contents? How to write contents? What contents to write about? You can get contents from various website sources at internet. They are available free articles or even paid articles. But I’m sure you agree with me that we don’t need the paid what isn’t it? Before searching for articles, you must decide what topic or what is your blog theme? Is it about computers, hardware, software? Or anything you want. The important line here that is your blog must be still focused on a specific topic.

[4] And this is the cornerstone of how to dress up a little of contents you’ve got to make it a little different and not considered as a copycat contents. Read the content or articles you’ve got and write it down by your self but remember don’t explain it too hard (remember to not making quality content). The goal of your writing is to make your blog readers anxious and pretend what you explain is unclear. So that your readers will not satisfied with your articles and then they click ads provided by you that was blended with your content. Here you have to tweak your template and ads locating at first to blend with your content of course. Beware in writing your content; do not write useless content with filling it with useless words. Make what you write as keywords rich content.

Courtesy of my unnamed friend (he don’t want to show his name) who ever makes a blog with computer hardware as his blog theme, he said that he got very huge traffics to his blog (from search engine) and his earning increased from zero to $186 only in a half month after launching his blog. You will not imagine what did my friend write about, and here it is the example;

“Today I meet my friend Andy. He buy a new computer from eBay with specs; AMD Athlon 3200 with 256 DDR, dual channel, bla bla bla…til the end.” All what they write is kind of like that. But he put lots of computer peripheral in his contents from Processor name, computer brands, hardware specs, new hardware technology and so on. But he never give a useful information about the hardware it self. Then every readers will not be satisfied what already shown in his blog. So what next happens? Readers will click on displayed ads blended with the content. He chooses ads service that is always displaying relevant ads and he sure so much that computer hardware themes have many relevant ads to display.

Of course by using that way many readers will dissatisfied of visiting useless dump blog they’ve got from search engine result. That way tagging becomes so popular recently. Once more I said, I don’t encourage you to make such blog but this article I for learning purpose and knowledge only.

I ever see this words in ProBlogger [quote here] If you enjoyed this post Subscribe to the Free ProBlogger Newsletter [/quote]. But what will I say to you is “If you not enjoy and not satisfied with this articles so you know what to do.. haha..lol. Yeah bookmark us.”

Blog page rank and SEO status check

2007-03-14T15:08:00.000-07:00

Does your blog rock? It is nice to launch a blog at first time. But monitoring procedure is always needed to see blog traffics or to see how success is your blog. You may feel happy or satisfied when you see your first traffic comes to your blog. So day by day you still optimize your blog, submitting your blog to some directories, building link network with other bloggers, etc. Then its time to see does your blog rock or not.

How can I know if my blog is rockin’ already?

[1] Did Google Bot visit your blog? Getting listed at search engine result is the first step you must to do. Many peoples come across Google searching what they want with specific keywords. By default your blog will appear at Blogger blog search which is utilizing Google bot data. Google Bot aka Googlebot is a robot searching engine that will index your blog. You can use a free service from Mypagerank to know when do Googlebot access your blog. Yet, the service can display the result as a cool button in your blog pages. Just copy and paste the code given onto your Blogger template. Googlebot last access is my favorite tool for me ;)

[2] How do Google look around your blog? What Googlebot view at every pages visited is not as the way how human view. You can try to pretend to be Google bot and look at your blog page by yourself here.

[3] How is your blog status at Google data bank center? If Google Bot has visited your blog than it is time to see your blog status at Google data bank center. One of the cool Google data bank checker is also available for free at Mypagerank.net

Make keywords such description tag

2007-03-14T15:04:00.000-07:00

Generally the meta keyword formed by some words separated by commas (such; SEO, tips, tutorial, webmaster, traffics, etc). But recently I found weird phenomena of some sites I’ve visited and viewed its source code. MyPagerank makes meta keywords such a phrase describes about website, just like the meta description tag. But MyPagerank also make the description tag simpler and looked like just a tips for me, something like this "meta name="Description" content="Increase Your Google Page Rank!"". Now look at keywords tag :"name="keywords" content="Google is the world's leading search engine and it measures link popularity as a key component of its ranking algorithm, using what is calls PageRank"".

So what’s the point? Here we can see that one more tricky optimization of web or blog page is to make the keywords tag line with some words combined together in a form like something describes your site. Even the recent search engine technologies ignore this Meta tag, but don’t worry. Still put a Meta name will not hurt your site.

They are no guaranteed using this article will increase your traffics. All depend on how you make it.

Earn money with only one good blog post.

2007-03-14T15:03:00.000-07:00

They are good blogger out there (I mean here a person who blogging away) and they are able to pay for blogs bill such hosting and domain, and some of them spent money buying traffics to get traffic, they have huge reader but some of them only have very few readers and what they already paid was not the equal of what they’ve got. I found website said that to make money requires money as well. But of course, with the versatility the internet offers, there are many ways you could find that could help optimize the potential of your site or business in generating traffic.

This topic started from the main idea of making money with only a page of each websites, this thread posted at Adsense-id. The concept of this idea is to make dozens of website with each domain has it each specific focused content in a webpage only (one page). The content must be focused and unique.

That was inspiring me to divide some steps to earn money from blogs with utilizing free stuff only. So Aim of this article is to make several blogs with only one post of each blog.

[quote]
While there are ways to jumpstart your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.
[/quote]

[1] Seek for some contents, please make sure you get contents with quality topics. What we want to make here is several blogs, so how many blogs you would to make is an equal number of how many articles you should have. Blogs number is not blogs pages.

[2] Make account at Blogger, of course this I the best free blog platform and blog hosting. You do not need to make a blog with your own domain name and buy domain plus its hosting service. Why you should use Blogger? One coz it is free and owned by Google. And the second is considering this statement at Aviva Directory ; Witnessing the launch of a blog as successful as Performancing’s first two weeks might lead you to think that launching a successful blog is easy… well, it’s NOT. Thousands of new blogs are launched every day, but only a handful ever get read by more than a few hundred people, and even fewer ever make a dollar’s profit. While a site can survive a terrible launch (see Instablogs’ surprising turnaround) the cost is high, and the truth is, most never recover.

[3]Start blogging and write a post. At Blogger you can make several Blogs with different URL (start with your own subdomain.blogspot.com). Please make sure you have your own quality content.

[4] Optimize your content, because this topic is about blog so I don’t explain more about onsite SEO optimization. But I just want to say that you have to make sure that what you are writing in your blog content is always focused in one topic. Optimize it for only unique topic then your blog will be a unique blog and deserve to bookmark. And make sure your subdomain name is unique and reflected the content of your blog content.

[5] Promote your blog, the simple way to do this is to put your blog keep linked in each other of each blog you’ve made. Then submit one of your blog to Google and any other search engines. Just sit down and relax and your money will come over and enter your pocket in less than a month.

But please remember that above article is not about how to promote your blog or how to get traffics of your blog. Goal of this post is explaining concept how to earn money from several optimized blog not from a high traffics blog. It is just collecting the tiny pieces to be a big one. Don’t forget to put your ads in every blog (Adsense, Abrite, and so on) and make it blend with your content. You may look for some resource about tweaking ads layout in website out there, I’m sure they are some.

To blog or to blog not.

2007-03-14T15:01:00.000-07:00

Most peoples are going to blog because of their interest of articles about earning money from blog. Getting some money from blog is an easy way to do, that what some articles and tutorial about bloging.

Which one is the truth; blogging or bloging?

I say it as Blogging coz it sounds so real for me. So let us go to the topic. If you are a first time blogger then you should find a reason or reasons why you should blogging away. Of course and I’m sure you already read the blogging about and weblogs that said like this "With weblogs-or "blogs"-exploding all over the Web, the only thing lacking for power users and developers is detailed advice on how choose, install, and run blogging software." But remember that blogging is not so difficult like that. Just like a blog you read it currently.

And as what said in the definition of blog at Essential Blogging that ; "A blog is a web page that contains brief, discrete hunks of information called posts. These posts are arranged in reverse-chronological order (the most recent posts come first). Each post is uniquely identified by an anchor tag, and it is marked with a permanent link that can be referred to by others who wish to link to it." So you can find your own reasons why to start blogging by considering what some peoples do while they are in world of blogging. Some are nothing but pointers to other web sites, while others run long essays; some are personal diaries, others feature technology; some are edited by one person, others by teams. The most important here is to get specified and more focused contents. Diaries kind of blog with uncategorized contents will get no means for readers even it still drives traffics generated from several major search engines just if it has lot of articles.

So what’s the point? You’d better not start blogging if you don’t have any single reason for why you should blog and what to blog. Nowadays bloging world become so revolutionary changed. Even Blogger had launched their new Blogger. Just like the Tagging world become popular and I believe it beat function of keyword, world of blogging equipped by many tools and widgets to dress up display page of blog. And that would be part of what I want to talk about in this blog. They are more than enough resources in the internet about basic of blogging, about world of blogging etc. But what I want to discuss here in my blog is about any resources to make our blog known by the world. Is it just to be known? Known by the world means all peoples over the world shall know your blog. How they know your blog? the easiest way is came from search result of Google, Yahoo or even some tagging sites. Don’t worry and don’t hesitate to start blogging coz it will never hurt you a pity. And aim of this blog I to provide any resources to help you blogging. But remember that success in any kind of activities is decided by efforts it self.

About 2bePopular Blog and Sasha the author

2007-03-12T14:56:00.000-07:00

The first word I should say it to you is “Welcome” to my simple blog. My name is Sasha and you could call me that way. This simple blog is named 2bePopular and if you wonder why this blog named that way, than I will give you the answer. Actually the answer is simple; 2bePopular word came from my desired and my will that I must be popular. So I start to try with blogging way. Since the blogosphere became so crowded and popular then I think it’s the best idea to write what I learned to write a blog.

2bePopular is a place where I post (read; blog) my idea in blogging system. To accomplish my mission (that to be popular), I keep searching every ideas, tutorials, tips, tricks, and articles of blogging every single day and I share it with you. Hope I can be online every day so you can keep in touch with me.

Ok now it’s about my self. My objective is to establish a popular blog in 365 days start from when I post this text. I am just a small nineteen years old cute girl (I thought) and currently live in Yogyakarta. Some peoples said that my city is a never ending Asia (even I know that a Singapore slogan) but as far as I know Jogja is still a beautiful city. I like anyone who wants to be my friends. Just leave me a comment in this post with your email in it and I will contact you soon. I set up my comments area to email me when a new comment posted then I’ll know quickly.

I run my daily life as usual, sleeping, going away to college (at economic faculty), eating, socializing, browsing internet, and now I just start blogging. I really hate when someone call me a little childish silly girl (that must be my big bro), then I warn you do not call me that way. But he (my big brother) really helps me so much, he is the one who suggests me to start blogging and he told me that I can earn money with it. So I will try hard to proof it and I’ll share how much money I earned from Adsense with this blog once a week. Just remind me if I forgot about this one. But the one thing made me asking is that my brother doesn’t like bloging so much, he rather makes websites to earn money even blogging is easy and free at blogger. However welcome again to my blog and enjoy your visits.
