How To Add Colorful Css Animations To BuySellAds Banners

2012-02-07T22:53:00.002Z

I'm sure you will all have noticed the effect i have added to the BuySellAds.Com ad banners on this blog.I think the effect is awesome and brings more attention to the ads which keep our advertisers happy.The first time i seen this type of effect was on the awesome Css Tricks by Chris Coyier.With the help Of Harish from Custom Blogger Templates and Way2Blogging i managed to get a version for this blog.I have had many requests for the code in the past but as the idea was originally from Chris i was slow to share it.However as Css Tricks no longer use the effect and i have seen it used on lots of other blogs which i presumed viewed the source of this blog to copy the code I think it's the right time to do a tutorial.The effect is created using only Css.

Remember this is set up to work only with ads and Advertise Here banners from BuySellAds.Com.For the 125x125 banners your sidebar will need to be at least 300px wide.Wordpress and other users can add the Css from the scroll box below to their style sheet , below i have a Blogger tutorial.

Tips And Plug-ins To Secure Your WordPress Blog

2012-01-26T16:36:00.000Z

Guest Post By Alfred Richards

WordPress is an open source blogging website that appeals to bloggers of all kinds for the many different features the website has to offer. Hackers have become increasingly common over the past few years and many people don’t secure their WordPress blog until it’s too late. Chances of an unsecured blog being attacked by a hacker are high. Many people don’t realize the extent of the damage that a hacker could cause. A blogger’s work can be completely destroyed and erased. If the blogger doesn’t have a copy of their work backed up anywhere else, their work could be gone forever.

Hackers could also have the blog placed on Google’s Blacklist, which would make the website no longer show up in search results. A blog attack could take days to completely fix, and while the blog is down, no new customers or readers will be able to view the website. Luckily though, there are numerous ways to secure a WordPress website. Some of the easiest and most important ways a person can secure their website are:

Secure the website with a strong password - It is important to come up with a good password that will make it nearly impossible for a hacker to gain access. Make sure your password is more than eight characters. Use uppercase and lowercase letters and include numbers to make it even more challenging.

Keep WordPress and plug-ins updated - When the WordPress software and your available plug-ins have been updated, this ensures that you have the software with the least amount of bugs. Having less bugs will ensure additional security.

Use only the most necessary plug-ins - Ask yourself if a plug-in is really necessary before using it. Adding too many can increase your chances of being hacked.

Use only a webhost with a reputable company - If you use a trusted webhost company, chances of being attacked are lowered. Always read reviews before choosing a webhost.

Always have backup plan in case of an attack - Having a backup plan is one of the most important things a blog owner can do. If the blog owner’s work is backed up, even if a hacker strikers, the blog owner’s work is not gone forever.

Plug-ins For Added Wordprss Security

There are also a variety of different plug-ins that can be used for added security on a website. These plug-ins detect malware and any hacker activity. They will keep a website from being blacklisted. The plug-ins will keep the blog content safe from hackers and will fix any issues that are found. They will also give the user alerts that will always keep the user updated with any threats or suspicious activity. Some of the available free plug-ins are:

Server Buddy
Limit Login Attempts
WP Security Scan
Login Lockdown
WordPress Exploit Scanner
Stealth Login

Whether or not your blog is intended to just gain readers or if your blog is a way of making money, it’s important to secure your blog before it’s too late. Many believe there is no way a hacker will ever strike their blog, but if the blog is unsecured, it’s not a question of “if” the hacker will attack, but “when”.

The Significance of Social Media, Author Verification and Engagement

2012-01-22T13:41:00.000Z

Guest Post By Erik Braunitzer

One of the biggest things bloggers and columnists are hearing about today in regards to their products, services or writing is authorship.The search giant’s Google’s results now filter with images representing authorship for each individual blog entry. This is especially helpful for people wanting to know who’s writing about what. Inherently, these writers are establishing authority. But not only can you simply establish authorship/authority through an site-specific author-bio, you can also do it through social media.

How to Make a Call to Action People Respond To

2011-12-13T16:25:00.000Z

Whether you're writing an email, blog post or the next bestseller, you want your readers to be listening and responding. Your goal may be to get them to keep reading, or maybe you're asking them to make a purchase, leave a comment or visit your website, but usually you want them to do something. Online content uses the call to action, or CTA. Don't let the fancy acronym fool you; calls to action are not some mysterious entity. Instead, they're clear, concise instructions for the reader to respond to.

So here is how to make your call to action more...actionable.

Create a Sense of Urgency

You've probably heard this a million times for titles and subject lines, but this also applies to the CTA. Online retailers use urgency by displaying “Only 2 left in stock” or “You'll save $5 today” while educators post how much space is left in their classes.

If you have something that's being offered for a limited time or is very time-sensitive, then communicate this urgency with your readers.

Reduce Friction

Don't create obstacles that prevent you from getting more responses. Obstacles include:

-Lengthy text the reader doesn't want to muddle through and asking them to click on multiple links to reach the end goal.

-Design of the page can also become an obstacle. According to KISSmetrics, a dark background with light text can be between 50% and 200% less readable than a light background with dark text.

Make sure your call to action is easy to read, respond to and comprehend.

Grab Their Attention

Getting their attention may only be a matter of changing a word or adding an image to attract more attention. One site found that changing “read more” text to more active verbs like “find” or “discover,” yielded over 50% more click throughs. Another study by MediaPost reported a large technology vendor increased click throughs by 67% when they changed a link from text to a button, while Email-Worx found just including a small, relevant image near the CTA lifted clicks by 50%.

Use active verbs to encourage readers to respond, and make your design catchy with relevant images.

Assure Privacy

Your CTA may require readers to provide anything from an email address to credit card information, or maybe you're just looking for data and need them to complete a survey. The more you're asking, the more reluctant readers will be about sharing.

Make readers as comfortable as possible about sharing their information. If you need their email address for a mailing list, link to your privacy policy and assure them you will not share it with anyone. If you're selling something, use a trusted shopping cart service or back yours up with safety protocols. For surveys, don't collect personal information that identifies them if you don't need it.

Test, Test, Test

Testing is the key to learning what works and what doesn't. Split testing allows you to test two or more variables against each other to see which one brings in more results.
The studies above wouldn't be valuable if they weren't compared against something. Whenever you plan to change any aspect of your marketing campaign, set up a split test first.

Implementing these tips will help you learn even more about your audience. You'll see what they like and what triggers a response, and you'll be able to apply this information to other aspects of your campaign.

6 Top Tips To Avoid Blog Burnout

2011-12-06T16:52:00.002Z

Being a blogger these days is not an easy task on hand.Many are required to handle multiple blogs concurrently. If you are a blogger, then you will agree that blogging is quite a time consuming process. Blogging might seem easy at first sight, but it really is a complex multi-stage process. It starts with getting together pieces of data followed by a thorough analysis and ends with a neat compilation of the required information. The bloggers are very zealous about their job and it may so happen in the process that they lose the trail of time. But one needs to be cautious with such an involvement because sooner or later, it will affect your physical and mental health.

If blogging is taking a toll on your body, and you already feel like a blog-burnout, then here are some interesting and effective ways to rejuvenate your mind and body

1. Bury the unwanted blogs

You may be emotionally attached to most of your blogs but one need to understand that if a blog is not getting a dose of traffic, then it simply means that the purpose the blog serves is no longer needed. So you might just want to end up working on such blogs.

2. Prioritize your work

Give the important tasks in your life a firsthand priority. Do not start new blogs if they are not really required. Channelize your energies towards the accomplishment of your objectives.

3. Focus on worth, not on figures

If you are frequent blogger, then you might consider reducing the amount of posts and rather focus on the quality of posts. A good read will almost always attract readers as compared to a post which is simply a streak of words.

4. Unleash your social life

Blogging can in no terms serves as an alternative to friends and family. If you have started taking your family for granted because you have been busy blogging all the time, then it is time to rethink. Scheduling your day to carve out time for your close ones can be an excellent move. After all, family comes first.

5. Give yourself a break

Do not feel guilty if you missed blogging about something significant because you had to cater to something else that was equally or more significant. The essence of blogging is that you should make your work matter. Simply blogging about any and everything that comes your way will not help the cause.

6. Escape from the web of wires

If you feel like going for a movie or a jog in the park, then go for it. Sitting in front of the PC all day will not help your brain’s creative juices to flow. But an exposure to fresh surroundings can really help to come up with those creative ideas.

On a conclusive note, blogging is not the only facet of your life. It is only an important part of your life just as many other things are. Whenever you find yourself in the blog-burnout condition, simply remember the fact that taking care of small things in other aspects of your life can make the big things take care of themselves.

Make Your Blog Sticky With Images, Aesthetics and Content

2011-11-23T12:58:00.001Z

The stickiness of your blog is one of the most important measures of its success. You may be able to drive a large number of visitors to your blog, but unless the visitors stick around and engage with your blog closely, and return repeatedly, you may not find sustainable success in the highly volatile and mercurial world of blogging.

Creative Use of Images

Many bloggers commit the cardinal mistake of over-emphasizing on the quality of written content while ignoring the importance of images in the process. Images help to arouse the curiosity of a new visitor, and get him or her drawn into your blog’s great content. An average blog visitor’s attention span is very limited because the choices for readers are too many out there in the free world of blogging.

Therefore, unless you make a creative use of images you may end up with a blog that appears drab, unexciting, and visually unappealing. Many visitors to such a blog may make a quick exit without waiting to check the quality of its content, if the design and appearance of the blog does not appear inviting, refreshing, and somewhat rewarding.

Images are easily obtained through sites like iStockPhoto, Jupiter Images or Shutterpoint. Tools like Zemanta can also help bloggers find images that fall under GPL and Creative Commons licensing.

Encourage RSS Subscriptions

In a highly competitive world of blogging, it has become very important to include an RSS feed and invite the readers to subscribe to the blog. This will help to create a loyal blog readership because the blog posts will drop directly into the subscriber’s mailbox. RSS feed is one of the biggest reasons of the success of prominent blogs around the world.

Tools like RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 are built right in to WordPress and Blogger so you can get a feed set up rather easily for your readers.

Smart Blog Design

Bloggers who are keen to enhance the stickiness of their blog for the long haul cannot afford to ignore blog design. New visitors tend to judge a blog within the first few seconds of their visit. If they find the blog confusing, cluttered, or difficult to navigate, a majority of them will not wait to stick around to read too much of the content even of the content that was read was marvellously written. If the placement of ads takes precedence over the placement of content, it can put off many visitors and kill the stickiness of a potentially impressive blog (see Myspace).

Clear Blog Branding

Your maximum effort should be invested in creating a great homepage that draws visitors into the blog. A new visitor should be able to know exactly what the blog is all about almost at the first glance itself. Blog design, title, headlines, taglines, logo, and navigational elements should all work to communicate effectively about the blog’s content.

Compelling Content

The backbone of any sticky blog, ultimately, is the quality of its content. A blog that makes outstanding promises at the outset and delivers little in terms of content is likely to fizzle out soon. The content must be relevant and sharply focused to the tastes and preferences of the target audience.

Furthermore, it is critical that the content must be updated regularly. Each time the blog should have something new and exciting to offer to the readers. In a fast-paced world of blogging, the blogger cannot afford to take it easy or become complacent about dishing out and providing new content consistently.

While any one of these techniques can help keep your readers engaged longer on your site, a combination of them will help keep your readers focused on what your site has to say to them and will develop a much stronger community around your blog.
