It was a year or so ago when I began read­ing in the forum v7n.com/forums/ about the power blogs had over the search engines. Now peo­ple can tell you why they were cre­ated and how they are used now, but sim­ply put a blog is an HTML edi­tor and FTP pro­gram put into one. Every­thing is auto­mated from con­tent pub­li­ca­tion to side­bar wid­get selec­tion and updat­ing. This is absolutely fab­u­lous for those want­ing to start a web pres­ence or online busi­ness, but are not sure how to do so. The first and best tip I can give any­one try­ing to make money online is to start a blog. The blo­gos­phere has become an over­whelm­ing part of the web and for good rea­son. The major­ity of web­mas­ters who use to own old sta­tic web­sites have found blog­ging so much eas­ier when it comes to updat­ing code or switch­ing tem­plate col­ors. This can all be done within the Blog Plat­forms Dashboard.

Now if you are not already a blog­ger then you will prob­a­bly want to try set­ting one up. There are many free ser­vices online some of the most pop­u­lar include blogger.com, typepad.com, and wordpress.com. All of these will give you a free domain name for your blog, free web space, and free band­width. Prob­a­bly the best part about using these free blog­ging plat­forms is they do not require you to include their own ads on your pres­ence. If you are more inter­ested in set­ting up a blog which you own mean­ing it is not on the blog com­pa­nies space then you will need to down­load word­press, pur­chase host­ing, down­load an ftp appli­ca­tion such as fil­izilla, then upload and install the word­press plat­form. I know it may sound scary, but it is all pretty sim­ple. This is only after you have tried and tested the free blog­ging plat­forms and find they are not meet­ing your online needs.

Now if you already have a blog or are set­ting a blog up after read­ing this then I sug­gest you fin­ish out the post. First off your biggest worry and the biggest worry of any blog­ger is pro­duc­ing high qual­ity unique niche rel­e­vant con­tent on your blog fre­quently. When I say fre­quently I mean you should be post­ing every sin­gle day. There are some that argue once a week or once every cou­ple weeks is enough to keep your audi­ence inter­ested, but this just is not true. Suc­cess­ful blogs are the ones that have new con­tent on their niche every sin­gle day and in some cases sev­eral times a day. Remem­ber as your blog grows so will its pres­ence in the search engines open­ing a door to your blog with each post your write. If you are cre­at­ing good con­tent every sin­gle day and not see­ing the results you would like to see try burn­ing a feed over at feedburner.google.com.

When you are first start­ing out and try­ing to get your blog found and read there are also some other web­sites that will be help­ful. These are called social book­mark­ing web­sites and you can find a list by going to Google and typ­ing in “list of social book­mark­ing web­sites”. Try to sub­mit each post to all the big social book­marks such as digg, deli­cious, and stum­ble­upon. You will start see­ing more traf­fic the more you post. You can also do a basic back­link build­ing cam­paign by going to directorycritic.com and sub­mit­ting your new blog to the free direc­tory list.
