Blogspot.com domain and its spam etiquette

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 09:58:00 +0000

Starting from not so long ago, and in recent times in particular, I’m sure that many of you, bloggers that use Blogger platform, have noticed that often (and this “often” is what makes me think about it) when you’re posting a comment in others blogs (mostly wordpress) or articles directories, it happens that you can’t effectively post anything if you add your site like yourdomain.blogspot.com, why? Because they added blogspot.com domain in their refused list, cause they received a lot of SPAM from this domain.

I wouldn’t say that this is a catastrophe, except if you point all your backlinks source from comments on other blogs. Yes, because not only many of them have a Nofollow tag, now the few Dofollow remarkable blogs are even more restricted for blogs with a blogspot.com domain.

From a point of view is more than understandable to preserve your blog from spam comments, but on the other hand this harm the honest bloggers who just try to participate in the debate with the chance to present their site, maybe just opened.

What can be done about this?

There are softwares that allow you to search for Dofollow blogs or search engines for do follow blogs, the firsts give to you more information (like PR), the seconds are FREE and more simple to use. Some example:

Search engines:

Softwares:

Fast Blog Finder [you can try this for free, limitation: just for 50 searched items]
Blog Buzz | Blog Finder [free trial HERE]

In alternative you can buy a domain and redirect your blog to that new address. This, which seems the most simple and fast solution, in fact conceals a major hitch, if your blog is well placed in search engines with the blogspot domain then all the process can be long and arduous, you have to start promotion all over again.

In the end, the free blog platforms become more and more penalized in one way or another, so if you can, you that are just thinking about entering the wonderful world of bloggers, take immediately into consideration the idea of buying a personal domain, because it's all another thing.

How do I Find Something to Sell?
Written by SaleHoo.com
Many people wanting to start an eBay business spend a lot of time fretting over what they will sell. Perhaps these questions are familiar: Where do I find ideas? Should I sell the most popular items? How do I know a good idea? These are important questions everyone faces.
eBay already contains so many items for sale that some sellers feel overwhelmed from the start wondering how they can possibly find a product idea when the market appears to be full anyway.
So where should you start then?
1. Your hobbies
This can be a great way of establishing a niche. Perhaps you love embroidery or making model airplanes? Chances are a lot of other people share this passion and are looking for related supplies. Crafts and hobbies is big market - however, before you jump in headfirst, make sure you do some research to back up the feasibility of your idea. eBay is a numbers game and no matter how great your idea is, it won't work if not enough people are interested. So be sure to use the completed listings search and test the market with some of your own supplies first.
2. Listen to what your friends and family are talking about
Sometimes the best ideas can arise from your friends and family. One seller says she overheard some women at the table next to her talking about the trouble they were having finding a particular brand of baby slings. This got her thinking, and, after a bit of research, she realized they were a foreign brand and hard to find in the USA. A wee bit of research later and she had found a supplier and was successfully selling online. So keep your eyes and ears open! If people you know are looking for a particular item, chances are others will too.
3. Research newspapers and magazines
Newspapers and magazines can provide a ton of information on trends and styles. Just browsing the headlines can often be enough to spark a new idea. Try sitting down with a pen and notebook and skimming the pages of popular magazines and daily newspapers. You should have a list of at least 10 ideas by the end.
4. eBay Seller Central
eBay itself has a fantastic resource in the Seller Central area 'What's Hot'. Every month, a list of super hot, very hot and hot items are published. This is a great way to find ideas but remember that everyone on eBay also has access to this information! The merchandising calendar is also a useful resource.
All successful sellers sell several products, rather than putting all of their eggs into one basket. Not only can trends change with the wind, but some products are only popular during a particular season. For example, dehumidifiers are more popular during winter than summer, while lawnmowers are super hot in spring and have a practically non-existent market in the winter.
5. Find out what your buyers are buying
A good way of expanding your product range is by 'spying' on your buyers. After making a sale, check your buyer's feedback and find out what other items they have been purchasing recently. This will help you get to know what your target market are interested in and expand your range accordingly.
Finding something to sell can seem daunting at first, but I guarantee that once you think of one idea, plenty of others will quickly follow!

Traffic is not everything to make money online, 8 suggestions

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 10:26:00 +0000

Although the main concern is to get more visitors as possible, is not enough to ensure success. Previously we have talked about good content and useful tips, but gain and amount of hits towards a site does not promise an equal number of profits. How to get the most out from visits?

Try to see your site by the visitor view. I know it’s hard to imagine to see your site for the first time after opened it for the umpteenth time, but you can ask for help to one of your friends of relative. So you can correct any problems about the graphics definition. What seem nasty to you, will probably also annoy others.

Eliminate confusion. A website can contain a sea of information, but must all be connected and divided in following pages, it’s unthinkable to store a quantity of information equal to a book only on a home page, for example. I have often visited web pages that also weighed 1 MB, only the text, a little discouraging to read, don’t you think?

Each site has its own needs. There are sites that sell products and those who rely on advertising all the revenues - Better point on PPC Advertising or Affiliation to make money online? - they have to be organized in different ways.

Give to visitors what they expect to find on the first visual impact. If they are images, videos or text, the important thing is that immediately jumps to the eye.

Less Popup the better. More than one I think is really annoying. Ensure the visitor the freedom to choose where to go is a good thing.

Clarity. If you have to say (write) something, say it without turning around it for too long, the periphrasis are tiring.

Capture visual/mental attention. Banner goes for the visual of course and text for the mental attention. Mix the two things? Text within images, banner. Do tests by yourself, visit some web sites and note what catches your attention first.

Moderates the use of superlatives. Many are fed up with reading words like the best, the greatest, the fastest, etcetera. Simply people just tend to take more superficial words like these matched with online products, especially today, unless justified by valid proofs.

Another PR update | June 2009

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:54:00 +0000

When was the last update? May. Google is really accelerating time this year. Now, maybe Google has seriously potentiating the action of its algorithms, the last time I wrote:

[…]recently Google PR is updating very fast compared to past times. Who knows if it continues at this rate or is it just a temporary thing.

Well, at this pace, it will be a lot better to webmasters. More frequent the updates will be and more realistic will be the PR value on the green bar of the browser. Maybe in the near future there will be updates in real time.

Internet business, how to build an e-commerce site

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:03:00 +0000

Often in this blog we talked about how to make money online, how to optimize a website, or a blog, how to get traffic, about scams and honest opportunities; now it’s time to learn something about how to open an electronic commerce site without too much work. Why e-commerce? I’m sure that you already know that people buy online a lot, a lot more than I thought three years ago. So, if you have something to sell and don’t want to invest a big amount of money to open a shop in your city, nothing is better than electronic commerce. E-commerce is still growing year after year.

Key-factors for success in e-commerce:

Valuable and competitive product(s)
Provide a detailed description for every single product. You have to be more explicative of a bored salesman in the shop along a city street.
You need to build a good website with a good graphic. The right choose of colours is the major key, not too bright or too unfriendly. Ii is better to present each product with a photo.
The discounts are always welcomed by customers.
Reliability and security. See last periods of this post: Online shopping | relationship between scam, buyer and seller
Payment protected. Paypal, HTTPS. Money back warranty for a limited time.
Entrust your consignments to good postal services
Know the law about online shopping and e-commerce websites in your country

E-commerce Script:

osCommerce FREE
CubeCart v3 FREE
Zen Cart FREE
CosmoSoft (fx) F-Cart Paypal Standalone (commercial) license price: $59,60
CS-Cart (commercial) license price: $265

Now, some other tips about the products you’re going to sell. What could you vend through an e-commerce site? Well, think about e-bay or Amazon, what they are if not e-commerce websites?
If you don’t have anything in mind yet, I can show some suggestions:

Sell original items. To owe, or give like a gift, something unique is often the preferred choice by people:

Embroideries, tablecloths, rag dolls, vintage fabrics
Paints made by you or your family, jewellery made by you, trinket
Wooden models, wooden boxes, etc.

Sell clothes (You must have the rights to sell)
Sell Books (You must have the rights to sell)
Sell Personalized Item. T-Shirts, caps, key rings (you have to have professional machines for printing on fabric, like serigraphy)
Sell Internet merchandise (You must have the rights to sell):

Software, hardware
Web Template
Script
E-books

Etcetera, etcetera.

At last, there is no need to be an internet expert to run an e-commerce site and there is no need to spend a lot of money to find a good host: E-commerce hosting (Hostmonster and some others in the list have Simple Script, it will install and update CubeCart, ZenCart, OSCommerce automatically).

Articles, blogs and search engine conflicts. Hubpages, squidoo, ehow, zimbio.

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 10:02:00 +0000

What happens if you post the same article, that was previous posted in your blog, on one, or all, of these services? It will engendered what might be termed a conflict of interest, because this article will be considered like duplicate content by the most famous search engine.

How to avoid this? Yes, just what you’re thinking, the best thing to do is write different articles for each one of the service mentioned, with the same infos and links but changing the periods and some words.

How to do it? If you don’t want to write down, one by one, the articles there is another solution, automatic speech recognition softwares for dictation:

IBM ViaVoice – price: from $30 (standard) to $200 (Pro)
e-Speaking – price: $14
Dragon Naturally Speaking – price: from $99.99 (standard)

Otherwise, you can buy original articles at constant-content.com for example - see Constant Content: where to sell your articles, photos and video online.

Constant-Content is the place to purchase unique, original content. Browse through the large archives of articles that authors have listed for sale, request content for your project and liaise with new writers

– then add your links and post it, severals are really cheap.

How to optimize your new Wordpress blog

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:18:00 +0000

Wordpress is a great free platform for bloggers but can’t be left as it is just after installation. It needed to do some SEO adjusting.

Don’t leave your post links like this: http://yourblogdomain/?p=152
Settings --> Permalinks --> Custom Structure, add: /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html

Post title, it’s better to place the title of your post before the blog’s title, or even better if it is showed just the post title: in your template header.php, delete whatever there is between <title></title> and add:


<?php

     if ($paged!=0) {

        echo "Pagina ".$paged."  - ";

     }

if (  is_single() || is_page() ) { // single pages are the most visited; => top IF

 $post_custom  = get_post_custom($post->ID);

$custom_desc_value  = $post_custom["title"][0];

if($custom_desc_value)  {

echo  $custom_desc_value;

} else {

wp_title('');

}

}

else {

if  (is_home()) { bloginfo('name'); }

 else {

if (  function_exists("is_tag") && is_tag()) {

if  (function_exists('single_tag_title')) single_tag_title();

 } else {

wp_title('');

}

}

}

?>

Add this canonical plugin to prevent duplicate content: Canonical URL's for WordPress (duplicate content is penalized by Google)

Bing.com, new search engine by Microsoft

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 11:03:00 +0000

Bing, already with millions of pages indexed, the new search engine by Windows Live, created to replace the old Live Search, has a very simple interface like Google, with the difference of a background image that is randomly changed.

Keywords like "make money", "make money online" and "make money business" have millions of results, although in different positions, you will find the same sites on the first pages just like in Google.com

Bing is still in beta version, waiting for the definitive version, Microsoft says that in the coming months will ensure an improved service. According to the reports, Bing, in just few hours after its launch, May 31, reached 6% in the global market and on June 1st Bing handed the 6.35% of all searches made in the world.

Bing gives the impression of becoming a powerful rival to Google and Yahoo!.

Online shopping | relationship between scam, buyer and seller

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Thu, 28 May 2009 07:42:00 +0000

Unfortunately there is a sea of scams on Internet, today there is a greater attention on preserving the buyers, but still some unscrupulous people can not wait to steal money from the others. Although for the purchase of ebooks, software and virtual material (direct download) there is greater safety (support is another thing), unfortunately we can not say the same for material objects.

When you go into a shop near your house to buy something that interests you, if the item you're buying is broken or damaged, once at home where you notice it, you may always go back and talk face to face with the seller. But online? If something is not going good you can’t go through your PC monitor and kick the seller a$$. Buying online is often very convenient and according to some measure you can reduced the risks to zero.

What should do a person who likes to buy online? First, there are some key things we should know and relate these websites:

Ciao.com [where you can search for products, best prices and reviews] – Why is so important to read the opinions of other buyers? Simply because you will know in advance the average evaluation of the item that you'd like to buy, with pros and cons.

Bizrate.com [where you can find products price comparisons & store ratings] – This is a resource a lot helpful if you have found an online store and you are uncertain to trust it. Amazon.com is rated 9.1 for example, safe enough.

Check if there is a padlock when you are making a transaction online for any shop. If not the site is suspicious.

And sellers, what should they do to get the trust of potential customers? Being honest and available to dialogue, whether the customers send you an email to ask explanations about something, not disappoint them by ignoring them.

Better to say things just for those who are, not lies or false promises. If a buyer is satisfied with the item that has bought from you will speak well about you to other people. If not, the buyer will speak evil of you to many other people.

And this is likewise valid to make money online with a website.

SearchWiki: Google buttons to Promote and Remove website

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Sun, 17 May 2009 11:32:00 +0000

SearchWiki lets you customize your Google Web Search results by ranking, removing, and adding notes to them. You'll see your changes whenever you do the same searches while signed in to your Google Account, or until you decide to undo them. You can also see how other users have tailored any given search results page with their own notes and changes.

Some time ago, browsing through the pages of Google, appeared something new. Usually, when something changes on Google pages, you immediately detect it, Google home is so plain. But somethimes the little changes may escape. Did you ever notice this two new icons?

What are they? Can those two buttons affect the position of the web pages? No.

Your rankings and comments are associated with your Google Account, so they affect only your search result rankings. A listing of your changes is visible on your 'SearchWiki notes' page, which is visible only to you.

In fact, you can see those two icons just when you’re logged in a Google account. In practice they may be useful to build a search engine with your preferences always activated when you log in your Google account.

It’s a pity, at the start some webmasters were just thinking to resolve all their promotional campaign pains with just one or two clicks ;)

Adbrite plus Snap LinkAds

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Thu, 07 May 2009 08:10:00 +0000

From a few months Adbrite started to show Snap LinkAds a lot more than the previous text ads (Adsense style) in its publishers' sites.

Snap is one of the largest distributed media networks on the Internet, already reaching 9% of the US audience and 35 million unique global users each month in 48 languages. Over 100 times per second, we reveal the content that users want, in the best form possible, and deliver it to them right where they are, without forcing them to click links or conduct searches.

Our Snap Shots products are used on over 2,000,000 websites and blogs, who appreciate the improved experience we provide their users along with the additional advertising inventory we create. Our Engage products help major content owners add depth to their own offerings and extend their reach across our network to build awareness, traffic and revenue. Together, they comprise a complete solution that’s helping to reaggregate content and users in an increasingly fragmented Internet.

Launched in 2006 by Founders Bill Gross and Tom McGovern, Snap is backed by Mayfield Fund and Idealab. We are always open to build new relationships with Publishers, Advertisers and building our Team.

Adbrite is a great alternative to Google Adsense, never had any rethinking on this fact. I'm using both righ now, Adbrite ads on this site made me earn an average of 0,30-1,00 dollars per click, just lately the gains are varied to worse (maybe is just my case) since Snap LinkAds appeared in the place of the classic ads. Now I do not know what to think, if this is a test from Adbrite team or if they have permanently changed their publishers option to make money online.

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Sun, 03 May 2009 14:33:00 +0000

Writing on money. Handy, funny or just disrespectful?

noreply@blogger.com (GiDi) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:01:00 +0000

Often happened to receive cash with a written note above. People write several things on money, phone numbers, lists, meaningless words and not very nice words, dedications of love, and much more. Here there are many examples - throughout this premise the point is, what is the average life of a banknote and for how many hands passes before stopping circulates?

Supposing to write anything on a banknote, most likely millions of people will touch it and maybe half of those will read what is written on. Imagine to write a web URL on ten-dollars bill, above all the people who will read these two lines, how many will reach your URL address?

This is what made a friend of a friend of mine. But, is it illegal to write on money? Yes and no, it is not persecuted in many countries if that writing does not alter the banknote itself to confuse its true value.
