Interview With Garry Conn

Rishabh Sood — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:31:34 +0000

I’m really glad and very honored to have Garry Conn as my first interview candidate on RishabhSood.Net. Garry is a authority figure in the blogging world and he was willing to share his experiences with us here on RishabhSood.Net, I’m sure it’ll be very helpful to you guys, as he’s been into blogging from a very good time and is well experienced. Here’s the interview :

Rishabh Sood: What inspired you to start blogging and built up your interest in it?

Garry Conn: I have had an interest with the Internet and building websites since the mid 90′s. When blogging started to become more popular I slowly started to gain more interest in it due to the high level of simplicity it was to take a site online. WordPress in paticular is my favorite web publishing software.

Rishabh Sood What was the main challenge that you faced when you newly started as a blogger?

Garry Conn: Promotion was a challenge. It was really difficult to get my name out there on the Net and climb the rankings. Blogging is very competitive and other bloggers within you niche naturally tend not to lend a hand in helping you surpass them.

Rishabh Sood: Garryconn.com, Could you please throw some light on it how you came up with it and how did you help it reach the level.

Garry Conn: Well, as you know, my name is Garry Conn and that’s how I secured the domain name. While I own and operate many different blogs and sites, GarryConn.com is a site that’s personal to me. It’s a site that I continue to build and grow, and one that reflects a high level of quality content. People are able to acquire a lot of very useful information from reading my blog.

Rishabh Sood: According to you, what would be the major challenges that a blogger would face today?

Garry Conn: Competition is a very huge challenge. Finding a unique and untapped niche is another. Ultimately, a blogger wants to become the leading source of information for their topic. It’s quite hard to do that today. Don’t get me wrong… it can be done, but it was much easier in the early 2000′s.

Another challenge is the constant changes to SEO. While years ago, it was very simple to rank for keywords in search engines. Today, search engines, such as Google, make the process much more complex.

Rishabh Sood Have you ever had a thought that, Now you should quit blogging and you can’t take it anymore? If yes,When and why

Garry Conn: Of course… however, that goes with any challenge individuals take. I must say though, conquering the challenges faced with blogging is quite rewarding, also it can be quite profitable as well. The point is, no one should quit at anything that set goals at achieving, whether that’s with blogging or becoming a pilot.

Rishabh Sood: What common mistakes do you find newbies make while promoting their blogs?

Garry Conn: New bloggers tend to try to take short-cuts. There’s no short-cuts with becoming a pro blogger. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, motivation, and a geniune desire to help people. New bloggers also tend to follow other bloggers of higher authority towards learning. This, in some cases, can be bad, because many bloggers have an aim to earn a profit from their readers. Many times, bloggers promote products and services that fail to cater to their reader’s best interest.

Rishabh Sood: According to you, What are the top 5 ways to Promote your blog?

Garry Conn: The top five ways to promote your blog is by organic ranking in Google for long-tail keywords and phrases. This is achieved as your blog increases the number of published articles. Also, as your blog ages, your articles to rank better in the search results. The second leading way to promote your blog is with an email mailing list. Aside from that, social networking sites do fairly well. StumbleUpon, Digg, and Twitter would account for the third, forth, and fifth source.

Rishabh Sood: What is your opinion on using Blackhat ways for blog promotion and to gain rank?

Garry Conn: You’ll get busted and all your other hard work and energy will get wasted.

Rishabh Sood: What is your Golden rule in blogging ? Is it the content the design, or something else ?

Garry Conn: The content is by far the most important aspect of blogging. The higher the quality the more likely people will enjoy reading it and the more likely search engines will rank it high in the search results. Content, in many cases, is viewed via RSS, which has no design implementations at all. So while the design of your blog does play a role towards first impressions, many people tend to over-look design for quality in the content and confidence in the author.

Rishabh Sood: Have you recently been in any other projects other than garryconn.com? And are there any future plans to start something new?

Garry Conn: I am always staying ahead of the curve. I always stay busy with multiple projects. As mentioned before, GarryConn.com is nothing more than a personal blog that caters to the needs of the people reading. However, frequently use the site to aid and jumpstart many of my online projects.

Google in every way supports blogging, from helping us create free blogs(Blogger) to promoting them(Google Orkut) to monetizing them(Adsense).And here are the 10 google tools you can use to have a better blogging experience.

The 10 Google Tools are:

1.) Google Blogger

Though WordPress is the most prefered blogging platform. If you are new to blogging then Blogger is the platform you should get your hands on.Blogger provides some features of wordpress like static pages, and you dont have to worry about hosting charges as the blogs are hosted by google.

You have the option to either use your own domain or get a free domain from blogger itself.You can get a .com domain with privacy protection enabled under 10$ at godaddy if you use the coupon code chill10 .The default templates that come with your blogger blog are quite primitive and simple, you can change to a template of your choice later.To get them you can visit www.btemplates.com.

Once you have started your blog and have quality content with some threshold Visitors(100+) then you might think of monetizing your blog.There are different ways to monetize your blog in-text ads, affiliate marketing, merchandising, etc but according to me PPC(Pay per click) is the best way to monetize one’s blog.In the realm of ppc industry Google Adsense has made itself a mark and i personally use it as it offers the best CTR.

To monetize your blogger blog just click on “Monetize” and choose where your ads will be displayed.Google pays a decent amount of money every time a person clicks on the ads.

4.) Google Analytics: Track your Blog’s Growth

You can let people subscribe to your blog via Feeds, and feedburner allows you to make it easy and fast.When a person is subscribed to your feeds he gets notified whenever a new post is posted on your blog.You can even monetize your feeds using Adsense.

6.) iGoogle: Connects you to other Blogs.

A blogger should follow other bloggers and be updated with the industry news and learn new tactics and skills.Once you are logged into Blogger you will automatically be logged into iGoogle and the feeds of all the blog you are following will appear on your page and you can keep track of the stuff going on related to your niche.

7. Google Docs: Embed Documents in your blog.

Google Docs is essentially MS Office on cloud.The only difference is unlike Ms Office it stores your documents online and lets you access them anywhere in the world.Using this tool you can create Spreadsheets, Presentations, and Text Documents and embed them on your blog and add to its value.

2) Copying Content Without Giving Credit - First of all copying content is really bad, you should always writing your blog posts yourself rather than copying, if you copy once in a while, Don’t forget to give credit to original writer.

3) Spellings and Grammer Mistakes – This is the most important thing you should keep in mind, sometimes even I make a lot of spelling and grammer mistakes as english is not my first language. But still you should always read the content you write once and check for spelling and grammer mistakes.

4) Comment Spam – Spam makes your blog look very ugly, You should enable Akismet on WordPress and also use some other plugin which can help you reduce spam on your blog.
