Creating A Blog
Before reading this make sure you have read the below
articles in the order listed. It is very important to get this
right.
Once that is done then read on...
Why Do We Need To Create A Blog
Despite all the fancy terms, a Squidoo Lens is really just a
hosted blog.
It is structured differently and has many options for you to
add content to it, so that it looks nothing like a plain simple
blog.
Fortunately, it’s not the only blog in town. You have many
platforms to choose from and wordpress is probably the
favourite and most used.
It is understandable if you don't fancy putting up a
wordpress blog. Without Fantastico in your armoury it is not
easy if you are new to the game. But if your host has
Fantastico which most now do, it is a very simple process.
Please be aware that once you have built your blog it will
need content on a regular basis to make it worth your while.
Failure to do anything with it will send it directly to the
scrapyard, never to be seen again.
There is a nice piece of blogging software that can be
adjusted to help you with your website. All you need to do is
install it onto your blog platform, change a couple of txt
files, and it will post unique links direct accossiated to your
website.
This is a superb tool for all wordpress bloggers as it also
places unique and keyword content on
your blog. This tool is
Caffeinated Content. It is the best piece of blogging
software I have come across. It is backed with a
LIFETIME GUARANTEE, so you will always have
the most upto date version.
On top of that it is not expensive. At $70 for the full
version it is money well spent.... Take a look at Caffeinated Content and
get the most from your blogs..
But there is an easy way to start blogging, and it’s likely
to give you more SEO juice right away than creating your own
blog will. This is yet another SEO loophole Google gives
you…but most people don’t notice it, even though it should be
obvious.
A few years back, Google bought Blogger.com. You will here
many stories of people having had blogger blogs and suddenly
thy are gone. This has happened to me.I lost 3 in a month all
connected to cars.
Blogger assumes that if they are all connected to the same
idea they are spam blogs. This was not the case, so be aware
about what you write with a blogger blog as google can take
them down at anytime.
There is a box there for you to tick to try and get them
back. I ticked mine over 6 months ago, and even though they
acknowledged it and stated it was probably not a spam blog,
nothing has happened.
A Blogger blog when built correctly can become a powerhouse
blog just like and other blog or website. The advantages
are:
- Google owns Blogger
- A Blogger Blog is Free
- You can build as many Blogger Blogs as you wish
- Google constantly updates and improves the
platform
- You can build your own platform as long as it
complies.
- You can start straight away without any start up
costs.
As you can see a Blogger Blog has some great advantages. But
they need to be updated on a regular basis and you need to get
traffic to the blogs. Its not as easy as a website or wordpress
blog to add great modules, but progress can be made.
Creating a Blogger blog is easy.
