If you are doing pro blogging, you certainly want to increase your google page rank or alexa rank for your site to get more traffic. Google Page Rank and Alexa Rank is the traffic indicator for your site. If you have google page rank high or alexa rank low, it means that your site receives lots of traffic.  Google page rank index is from 0 to 10. The higher google page rank indicates that your site is popular and receives more traffic. Facebook has google page rank 10 and it is indeed a very popular media social site.  Alexa rank indicates that sites with lower number are the more popular site and receive more traffic.  Sites with rank below 200,000 in alexa rank are considered popular.

3 signs that you will notice when your blog is getting popular:

1. You receive more comments and other sites give you back links automatically.
2. Google Adsense and other text link advertising will approve your application once they notice you have traffic. Private advertisers will contact you for banner or text link advertising.
3. You start to earn online income through advertising and affliate programmes. You can even start to sell your own products.

The following are tools to check Google Page rank or Alexa Page Rank for websites or blogs.

1. Check your Google Page rank,  Page Rank Checker
2. Check Alexa rank, Alexa.com
3. Install google toolbar. If you have google toolbar, you know the page rank  from the bar next to bookmarks. The bar will show green color and the index.
4. Or you can install SEO Quake to give depth analysis.

You have to work to increase your google page rank and alexa rank from time to time. It depends on how smart you work and you shall apply the following pro blogging tips and strategies to increase your blog google page rank or alexa rank:

1. Always ping your own blog post, interlink between posts and pages and if you have other blogs, interlink them as well.
2. Don’t target the popular keywords with high number of results in google or yahoo search. You can’t compete with the current popular blogs. Look for your niche market and low number of results in google or yahoo search. This way will earn your blog high rank fast.
3. Sign up with as many as social bookmarking sites. Once you publish post, share it to all social bookmarking sites. You need to add/share plugin in your blog.
4. Write to article directories and don’t forget to leave your blog URL.
5. Participate in forum and leave your blog URL as a signature.
6. Exchange links with other blogs for blogroll links. You certainly want to exchange links with bloggers which share relevant topics and have equal or higher rank than you do.
7. Leave comments particularly at popular blogs and blog which use do follow links

Pro blogging is not about writing for your own blog only. You need to socialize with sites of higher ranks in order to have back links for your blog.

Blogging is all about writing. Pro blogging is about how to write good blog content that deliver value in blogosphere. Some bloggers may not know that it is illegal to be a copycat, to copy articles and to paste it in your blog without giving a credit to the author and author’s URL link. Search Engine will not index duplicate content and you falsify the content by claiming it as yours. You can track the duplicate content by using Copyscape. I have found that my blog posts were copied by others as well. Though I did write to them that article copycat  is not right, they continued to ignore it.  Although I can’t bring them to the court, they will face the consequences. The search engine will ignore duplicate content and their blog can’t crawl the search engine rank.  I don’t say that you can’t include people’s articles in your blog. If you find a good article that you think will benefit your readers, you can copy and paste the article without any changes but don’t forget to include the author’s name and URL.  You can do this occasionally but you also need to write your blog content because a blog is to represent  you.

If you are a newbie blogger and have no idea how to write good blog content, of course you can read other people’s articles to get ideas how to write good  blog content. Take a look at the following resources which you can use to write good blog content:

1. Ezine Articles or Articles Directory. Get ideas from ezine articles or other articles directories. The articles published in ezine article are quality articles and you shall learn from these articles how to write good blog content. You can note down the ideas and rewrite on your own. Of course, you may have your own opinion and ideas to add. This is the trick to produce a new article. You learn about the subject and you learn to write as well.
2. Yahoo or Google Search. Type in the search box: “….”  to look for exact phrases. You can get ideas what people talk about the topic. Check out the top sites and maybe you can combine the ideas from 3 to 5 articles to create a new article.
3. Shared articles. When you become affiliates, sometimes the person provides articles for sharing. You can copy and paste the articles exactly. You still credit the article to the person’s name but the URL link is your affiliate link. This way, you get benefits to promote affiliate products.
4. PLR (Private Label Rights) Articles. There are free and paid PLR articles. Some retired PLR are given for free or at reduced rate. You must read the content if the topic is still up-to-date. Some are very outdated and odd. With PLR, you can claim these articles under your name. You can copy exactly or modify. I would recommend to modify or tweak it a bit so it becomes a new article. The good and fresh sources of PLR articles is All Private Label Content.

It is much easier to write if you use the resources above. As you read and learn from other people’s articles, you may be able to generate your own ideas and to write good blog content.  Pro blogging is different from casual blogging. You need to have value in your blog content.  Learn Blog Profits videos tutorials so you understand the complexity of pro blogging and how you can make income online from blogging.

I must say that phrase earn money blogging or blogging for profit is the attraction for people to start their blog. They are eager to find out if pro blogging can make real money.  I can say that superstar bloggers can earn money blogging. If you don’t want to be just another amateur blogger, you need to build yourself to be a rising star blogger first before you can reach the level of a superstar blogger.  What does it take to be a superstar blogger? I would share some advices that I  put them into practice.

Technical Aspects

1. Learn blogging via blog tutorials.

Well, if you are serious to make pro blogging as your career or your business, you need to understand the techniques and the complexity. You have to learn from blog tutorials.

2. Use paid hosting blog

If you are using a free hosting blog, the blog is not yours. You don’t want to put your blog on the risk of being closed right? You need to take a good paid webhosting to host your blog. Don’t use redirect in order to continue your blog in blogspot. You can export the blog content from blogspot to worpress blog. I have a friend who kept his blogspot blog and use redirect when he used paid hosting blog. When google closed his blogspot blog that he had built for months, he had no longer blog in his domain name. There is cheap personal webhosting which costs $3 monthly but my advice is to choose a good reliable webhosting which starts from $ 5 onward monthly.

3. Invest in software

Don’t be frugal if you need to spend for softwares. You need softwares to increase your blog rank and popularity in search engine. Magic Article Software will help you to spin your article into different versions to be submitted to articles directory. Someone asked me if there was an automation software to produce articles. There is no such software. I would say that your articles reflect your expertise, you need to write them by yourself. If you want to spin them into different versions of articles, I would say yes. You also need  Email Marketing to retain your readers  or build your list. I installed Email Marketing for my other blogs, Resources for Moms and Kids and my training centre, Internet Business Strategy.

Non Technical Aspects

1. You must have a passion to write

I guess not everyone is a writer when they start blogging and they still search for the right profitable keywords. You need to exercise using keywords for writing your blog content. Practice will make perfect.  Ideas are around you, you need to dig around.  You can do research from yahoo or google search and articles directory  to get ideas what other people write in your niche.

2. Discipline and Persistence

You are enthusiastic to create a blog  for the first time. Do you still have the same level of enthusiasm over months or years to maintain your blog? I have seen people abandon their blog because of boredom and lack of enthusiasm. Blogging is a lonely world, you need to exercise self-discipline to update your blog and have a persistence to go for your goal.

I believe that the money reward will come eventually if your blog have traffic.  You can sell blogging products because you know them well.  It is impossible for a person to promote a webhosting package and other softwares if he himself is using free hosting blog.  When you aim for pro blogging or blogging for profit, you will sell products and show your  expertise through your blog.  People will buy from you because of your expertise and you know the products well.

1. Earn from Advertisements
Most bloggers are blogging for information and the advertisers love information blog. You can apply google adsense or textlink advertising in your blog. Once your blog has steady high traffic, the advertisers will look for you or you can propose to advertisers with the proof of your page rank or Alexa rank.

2. Selling E-products
If you have knowledge or expertise, you can create e-book or software to sell. You can recruit thousands affiliates to promote your products. There are lots to take care if you create your own products such as a compelling sales letter, market survey, promotion etc. I believe not everyone can create e-product easily. A short cut will be to sell Private Label Rights or Master Resell Rights products.

3. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is excellent way to make online profit by selling people’s products. You don’t need to create products and they provide marketing tools such as banner, email, sharing articles. What you need is to write a review and attach their link or banner.

4. Blog Flipping – Selling Blogs/Websites for Profit
This becomes the trend for pro bloggers. They design a nice blogs and websites, put some contents and sell them to other people to make online profit.

5. Network Marketing
Network Marketing or MLM are used to be offline marketing. With the internet and technology, network marketing companies adopt Internet marketing strategy and we can market them through the Internet. Let’s take a look at GDI. GDI provides excellent marketing tools, attractive videos. You need to take a look at 2 factors when you want to make online profit from network marketing: the product trend and the marketing tools. With network marketing, you can make online profit not only at the selling point but a multi tiered income which can go up to 5 to 7 levels.

You can’t earn much if you just use advertisement to make online profit from your blog. You need products as well. I have observed the trend that people have switched from affiliate marketing to network marketing as their online home based business. Blog is your marketing platform. You have products and marketing tools with network marketing. Marketing tools in network marketing have been developed by leaps and bounds. You don’t only find banners but videos, websites and follow-up newsletter. You can even set up a Professional Lead System to educate prospects about network marketing. Visit my blog Mompreneur Journey, I share my journey in network marketing.

I WAS NOT A WRITER 9 months ago. I only wrote occasionally for product reviews for Kidzpuzzle blog if there were new products. I did have a personal blog in blogspot because I followed the herd of bloggers who blog about their personal life. I let my good friends know about my blog and only one or two left comments. How devastated I was. I made conclusion that:

• My life was boring; there was nothing to tell to the World
• I didn’t know what to write
• I have no talent in writing

The turning point happened when I decided to learn professional blogging and Internet Marketing by making investment in e-learning. I know that blogging is one of powerful marketing tool if we learn professional blogging techniques. I was forced to write under the watch of my mentor. I was in doubt whether my grammar was correct and whether the readers would understand my messages. I improved my writing skill through practice and having a mentor really motivated me. My writing reveals my personality and I become more articulate in my writing. I realize when I have knowledge; I have lots of topics to discuss about. My blog topic doesn’t have to be about my family and personal life again.

My advice to bloggers who want to blog but they do not like to write  and they judge themselves of having  I WAS NOT A WRITER syndrome like myself 9 months ago, I have pro blogging tips solution:

1. Look for a role model. The role model can be your mentor. Learn his writing style.
2. Invest in learning so you have a broad knowledge.
3. Decide the topic. Do the research in yahoo search, google search and Ezine Articles to get ideas what to write about.
4. Write your title first.
5. Make bullet points. This will be the list of your ideas.
6. Write short blog post in 250 words.
7. Write in simple language as long as readers get your messages. Don’t worry about grammar mistakes.
8. Write from your heart. Don’t just write about the facts. Give your blog content a personal touch from your experience and voice your opinion.
9. Include photos or videos to make your blog interesting.
10. Write everyday until you get used to it. If you skip a week then a month.  Finally,  you will get demotivated and abandon your blog.

I realize how essential writing skill is.  I encourage my young kids to start creative writing from now on. Through pro blogging and Internet Marketing, I learn how to write articles or blog posts for SEO, analyze the right profitable keywords before I use the words for my blog posts and articles.  I had “I AM NOT A WRITER” syndrome 9 months ago and I’m  having  4 blogs now. The other 2 blogs: parenting blog, Resources for Moms and Kids and my self-branding personal blog, Mompreneur Journey. I also coach people in Internet Network Marketing Home Business and teach them about pro blogging.

My advice to bloggers: get a pen or start typing now and apply my pro blogging tips above  to exercise your writing style.

It is not easy to create a domain name. Some good domain names are taken and most of domain names with dot com extension is the most favourable.  If the domain name is taken, I recommend you to use these pro blogging tips and tricks for choosing domain names:

1. Use plural or singular keywords. Please check if your keywords in plural or singular are profitable.
2. Use another extension: dot net, dot info, dot biz and so on.
3. Use numbers instead of words, two becomes 2, and four becomes 4.
4. Use short form instead of full word. Biz instead of business
5. Use hyphen but not too many. One hyphen is enough.
6. Add prefix before domain name or suffix after the domain name. The examples of popular prefix: the, my, all, best, super, top, e, pro, basic. The examples of popular suffix: central, center, guide, a to z, 101, place, point, hub. The suffix can be a company extension such as Inc.

Ideally, we choose a domain name with dot com, without numbers and without hyphen but we also have to follow the main rules for choosing domain names:

• Shorter domain name is the better. For an example: 7rulesimprovement.com is better than sevenrulesimprovement.com which the latter is too long.
• Easy To Spell: if the domain name has triple letters, the name will confuse people and hyphen may do well. For example:business-strategy.com is better than businessstrategy.com
• Easy To Remember: Use simple and less words, 2 or 3 words are better than 4 to 5 words.

Ask for a second opinion from your mentor or your blogger friends and you may find more pro blogging tips and tricks for choosing your domain names. You can register your domain name at Name Cheap Domain and add Whois Privacy if you want to.
