Weekly revision
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008
I have seen many blogs offer this “roundup” or revision thinggy and I thought it’s a good idea to try this too. Even if we all hated revisions at school, now it’s a good idea to bring back to your attention the articles we have posted in this blog the last week.
Get a domain! - Yes, I am a total snob and I am just getting sick of seeing free hosted sites on God knows what subdomains. I have been there too 5 years ago and I can tell you it’s not a blast. The best thing I was able to do for my sites was to put them on their own domains.
Be consistent! - There is a word in Romania: “you won’t make it spring with just a flower”. So, in order to succeed in anything we need to be consistent. Find out what this means for your site/blog.
How to make sure you don’t escape the validation filter in forums - this is a “mean” article, a parody if you like to call it like this. Some of the things that make me delete an account as soon as I see it created on my forums. Laugh a bit, but do think about these tips next time you register in a community.
Build your BRAND on the forums - speaking of forums: learn how to be easy to recognize on them as an authority, how to build your own “brand” through the communities. For 6 years this has been the BEST way I was able to get quality traffic and business to my network, I think something there does work.
Why I don’t like some star blogs - this is again a “mean” article. I do know about the big bloggers, I do visit them frequently and some of them still attract me like a magnet. Still, there are some things I just dislike and some top bloggers I don’t visit for more than 2 seconds. What to read there in the end aside of tens of paid reviews and way too many affiliate links? Read all about my “problem” in this last article we have posted.
That would be all for this week, let’s hope in a week’s time I’ll be able to link you to even more interesting articles 
And since you’re also here why not tell me which article you loved the most?
1 excellent blog is better than 30 crappy ones
Friday, March 7th, 2008I read an article about how to create a network of blogs in just few months: create some blogspot accounts, with clear niche sites, write an article daily and after some days start another blog and so on. The writer was sure that this network of niche blogs will indeed require some time, but you’ll have some 20-30 blogs in months and money will roll in like crazy.
Wait a second .. there’s something wrong in this picture.
In order for a blog to be successful and really attract attention you’d need some conditions to be met:
Blog comments: how to make sure the blogger will really hate you
Friday, March 7th, 2008This blog article is a parody, please treat it like this ;)
Blog comments are one of the few ways we can interact: bloggers and visitors. We can share similar experiences with the ones the author is presenting, we can promote our blog with that link, we can meet other interesting bloggers and in the end socialize in a very educated manner.
We all love blog comments. We write and hope people like our articles. We cherish their input and hope we can get as much feed-back as possible from the people who visit our blogs.
As a blog commenter one can distinguish from others in a good or unpleasant way. Here is a “twisted” article, a mock if you want, teaching you how to make sure the blogger will hate you and probably even ban you afterwards. Of course, do the opposite and you’ll really get near his/her heart.
How to start a blog?
Friday, March 7th, 2008I got such a question from a visitor on my Romanian Blog and I thought it would be nice to not just discuss this privately with him, but to create an article. And since that article was well received by other Romanians interested in blogging, I thought now that it would be nice to make it available internationally.
1. What does a blog need?
It’s the first thing we need to discuss: a blog needs QUALITY content, updated frequently (some talk about daily updates, most of us who want some traffic try to write as frequently as possible, 1 article per day or even more). There is a lot of work to be done most of the time in order to create a good blog.
We don’t take too much into account the revenue right now, but in time, after months of work, it’s a good idea to also earn a decent buck. You won’t be able to buy a car from the advertising revenue for instance, but it would be enough to pay for the domain renewals and maybe hosting. I can understand you think about this as a hobby, but in time it would be pretty good to also get something from it, not only the pleasure of having a good blog.
It’s very important for you to understand a blog requires work and dedication. And no, I won’t hide it from you, it’s absolutely amazing to have a blog, there is a lot of satisfaction in it, so don’t hold back.

What blogs should we comment on?
Friday, March 7th, 2008The job of keeping a blog updated and trying to promote it means writing content. A lot of content on the site and off the site. We’ll try to discuss now about the content we write outside our blog to be promoted. This can happen by putting a link in our signature and posting in the forums that allow this and also posting good comments on other blogs.
Some blogs might be worth the effort since we just like the content, others would bring in some good traffic, others are SEO friendly for our links, some even place a column with the information about the people who commented and a link to the blog we promote and so on. We’ll start from the “weakest” in the list to the “strongest” types of blogs when it comes for us to also benefit from this. (more…)
