Blogging to the Bank 2010 Review

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record their thoughts and lives, while a select few use them as a free way to make a fortune.
One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 2010 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is, like me, you’ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don’t, here’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 2010 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

I got my copy and so did my friends, now its your turn.

Note – At the time of writing this, I experienced a sharp increase in profits after using the methods found in Rob Benwell’s newest Ebook Auto Blog System X - Read My Full Review Here

Blogging To The Bank – Click Here

Given below are some Power Tips to get your blog rolling!

1.) If your blog is new, create at least three to five posts per day. People who visit will want something to read. Also, focus on keywords in your niche topic for “natural” search engine optimization.

2.) Add your blog to your My Yahoo! page. If you haven’t setup a My Yahoo yet, just go to yahoo.com and click on the My Yahoo! icon near the top right. After your setup, go to your My Yahoo page and click on the “add content” button found near the upper right. You will be presented with a form to enter your RSS link.

3.) Add your blog to your Google’s Reader. When you submit your own blog RSS to Google’s Reader the Google Blog Search will index your site. To do this, goto google.com, click on the “personalize home” or “my account” button in the upper left. After you account is setup, sign in and click on the “add content” button in the upper left of your page.

4.) Add a link directory to your blog and trade links with sites that share a similar niche. At this point, you want to trade links mainly to get direct traffic. In the long term, this will help with your rankings in the search engines as well. Use software such as seo elite to speed up your link trading and optimize you blog for the search engines.

5.) Use ping, Ping your site every time you add a new post. Check to see if your blog software is already doing this. WordPress and B2Evolution do this automatically and is a real time saver.

6.) Submit your blog to conventional search engines such as Google, AltaVista, and MSN.

7.) Submit your blog to traditional directories such as DMOZ.com Directories (particularly DMOZ) increase relevance with Google. DMOZ is very picky and can sometimes take months to get listed.

8.) Submit to as many RSS Directories as possible. This is a simple but repetitive process that can be done automatically with software.

9.) Comment on other blogs and forums. Do not just leave short, lazy comments. Try to really answer questions or give opinions on subjects you know. You can also visit us at www.atoz-about-rss.com. How long your post will be depends on you. Normally, five to ten sentences is enough to explain you on someone else’s blog or forum. Most forums require you to register, so include a link to your blog in your profile and/or in your signature file. But be sensitive about it; some forums get annoyed with those who selfishly drop a few links to their own site and leave.

10.) Use track backs. If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases your link reputation and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site.

Blogging is becoming one of the most popular ways to market a company, brand, personality or product on the Web. Why? Because search engines love content, and there is no better way to create and manage content on the Web than a blog. According to Technorati, there are over 60 million blogs on the Web, with over 100,000 being created every day. A lot of people have caught on to blogging, and there is plenty of room for more.

What is a Blog?

The word ‘blog’ is a slang compilation of two words; ‘web’ and ‘log’, or ‘weblog’. Initially established as a way to publish computer log files, the original pioneers of blogging began publishing more and more interesting content. Today, bloggers post news, commentary, and even real time descriptions of events using blog software.

Think of a blog as an ‘online journal’. ‘Posts’, as they are called, are short articles that are listed on your blog site in chronological order. Visiting a blog, you will notice that the most recent article is presented at the top, and earlier stories are listed below, or in an archive.

Blog software is available all over the Internet. Some of the more popular sources are WordPress and Blogger. Our favorite is WordPress because it is an ‘open source’ application that can be installed on your own server and customized.

A custom blog allows you to have more control over the look of the interface, and event to incorporate the blog into your existing site. This is of particular interest to companies who want to use blogging as a way to communicate with customers and keep fresh content at the forefront of their site; a great search engine strategy.

Blogging and SEO: Why is it such a Good Idea?

Search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, scour the Web looking for new content to index. In particular, they are looking for content that is ‘keyword rich’; content that is full of relevant keywords. When content is keyword rich, it provides relevance for the site and allows a search engine to properly categorize your blog site into a particular market.

Keywords can be anything from the name of your product, to the name of your company, or the type of services you offer. Refining keywords with geographic specificity is a popular way to climb to the top of a search page in your particular region, even though you may be competing with a lot of sites on a national level. (For instance; ‘lawn care’ gets over 5.5 million hits, while ‘utah lawn care’ gets a more reasonable 1.2 million. The more times you can use a keyword in each post, the better.)

Websites that regularly update keyword rich content are considered ‘alive and active’ by the leading search engines, and are given priority over sites that are considered ‘dormant’ or ‘stagnant’. If your site has not changed in over 60 days, you are in danger of being considered ‘stagnant’, and falling out of favor with the search engines.

Search engines gain popularity with users based on their ability to direct people to relevant sites that are alive and active with current content. How often do you want to visit a site that hasn’t changed in over a year? The search engines feel the same way, and are reluctant to refer a site that hasn’t been updated for a while.

Again; a blog is a great way to add content management to your existing site, and is a terrific way to get started on the Web with a basic web presence that can become a very effective marketing tool.

What Else Can a Blog Do?

Aside from writing content, you can do a lot of creative, and even productive things with a blog.

Blog systems provide the ability to upload files and attach them to your posts (articles). Having this ability means you can add your own graphics to each article, dressing them up with photos of people, places and products. You can also add full motion video, slide shows, and even link to You Tube or other streaming video hosting services.

Podcasting has become popular, and is a fun way to add audio to your articles. You can include music, sounds or interviews; virtually anything you can record can be added to your blog as an audio file.

One of the most common things to add to an article is a file such as a PDF or even a Word document. Linking files to your articles allows your readers to download those files, which can be anything from a photo, instructions, or a form to slides, video and audio.

There are also advanced marketing functions you can perform with a blog. By incorporating a subscription function, you can collect leads from your blog, and communicate with your audience via an automated email system. Each time you post a new article, your subscribers will automatically receive an email notification. Instant newsletter.

Getting Started

Blogging can be done in a number of ways; there are free options out there that allow you plenty of space to write all you can at no cost. If you are interested in creating a custom site, with your own graphics, extensions, and management options, you will want to establish a custom blog on your own domain.

If you already have a domain (such as www. yourname. com), it is best to establish your blog on a ‘sub-domain’. Your Web guy will know how to do this. Name your sub-domain with a keyword for the best search engine optimization (such as widget. yourname. com).

If you are the technical type, or you have someone who takes care of your Web systems; take a look at wordpress. org and download a copy of their latest open source blog software. Once installed you are ready to go.

These days now that you have blog software that can drip out content, an auto responder services that can drip out email messages, there is no reason to start everyday with nothing new written. You could in fact, begin on Monday, spend the day writing the entire week of content, set it and forget it. Write it all on schedule on Monday, then Tuesday’s post will appear on Tuesday, Wednesday’s blog post on Wednesday, and so on.

If your blog has the appropriate social media plugins, then it will also make a post on your Twitter accounts. Letting your followers know that you have made a new blog post. Basically, you write it, you set it on a timer and the blog itself does the work of automatically putting your content online. How do you do this?

With the WordPress blogging software, it is very simple and it is possible with no additional plugins. When you make a new post, you can tell the posts to appear immediately. You can also change the date on the post so it is backdated as if you wrote it months or years ago. But you can also change the post to appear in the future. That means if you change the date on your blog post to one week in the future and you save it, that post will be in a scheduled state. And after a week has passed and it is now the date you have set for that blog post, it will become live one week from today.

Keep in mind this strategy will work if you self-host your blog, and also if your blog is separately hosted for free by WordPress themselves! Pre-scheduling works for both methods.

Of course, you can change the date to become tomorrow, next month, next year or whatever and schedule as many blog posts as you want in advance. What I like to do is schedule at least one blog post per month, ahead of time. That way I know that for the next six months, I will at least have one new blog post every month without me having to do anything.

With a blog, pre-scheduling is a must if you want to produce content consistently. Just write it all now, schedule it in WordPress, and then let the blog do the hard work of making the appropriate content live when it’s time for that.

That’s how you pre-schedule blog posts but how do you write the content for your blog? I am glad you asked! Go to http://www.makeaproduct.com/blog to find out more.

The majority of online marketers don’t even know they have duplicate content on their websites.

And the most exposed types of websites are thin affiliate sites, ecommerce sites, submission sites with few submissions and blogs.

So how can you tell?

A good place to start is to quickly inspect your site’s general layout. This includes the header, footer, navigation etc.

Because they do not change or replace each other as one navigates your site, these structural elements form the site’s template.

Although it’s easy for human eyes to disregard repetitive blocks of content (text and images alike) and focus only on the unique content in a webpage, the Google spider sees all and indexes all.

Ecommerce websites.

The problem with ecommerce sites is that they sometimes contain brief product reviews and producer guidelines (reduced only on a generic text phrase and a descriptive picture).

At this point the problem is forthcoming – when the webpage/website template exceeds the actual content container, duplicate content red flag are raised.

When using images to design of fill in your page layout, consider the fact that the Google bot can’t read pictures.

The problem can be easily fixed. Of course, with a decent amount of time invested.

All that’s required is to calculate the proportion of text template relative to the text in the content container. Here’s how:

All you need to is copy and paste the entire web page into a word process eliminate all commercial related text so that you remain with only the template; count the number of words contained by your template. Hold on to it!

Your next move is to supplement the content already placed in the content container so that it outranks (numerically) the words placed within the template. If you take the time and do the work be sure to create some really unique content comparative with the rest of your product webpages; it’s beneficial from search engine’s perspective and also resolves the dupe content issue on your site, hopefully once and for all.

No other onpage factor is more predisposed to generating duplicate content as the title tag is.

Most certainly you’re well aware not to write the same title for two separate web pages.

Important tip: When working to differentiate two or more title tags don’t rely on stop words. Stop words are a distinct word category that Google overlooks when establishing keyword relevancy. It basically doesn’t count them.

Duplicate content was pointed out as appearing on ecommerce sites also when the same product reviews appear on more then two websites.

All the how, when and why are revealed in the next mini-chapter of this article.

Affiliate websites.

Because of the immense number of affiliates, search engines are constantly refining their search results and exclude satellite sites from ever ranking for that group of key terms.

First on Google’s list of priorities is to return relevant search results. And common sense dictates that the strong relevancy is claimed by the webmaster with the biggest budget to invest in SEO, generally mother websites and couple of privileged affiliates.

The reality is that duplicated, ten-page affiliate websites are of no good if you plan to market them with the search engines.The cause lies in the simple fact that they are all identical – the name used to describe this situation is off site duplicate content.

Your affiliate site will rank if you use this exact formula:

1. Re-formulate your entire offer and write unique content. This is vital if you want SEs to consider appointing your site with a decent ranking to start with;

2. Bring conceptually unique content – argument what separates you from the other affiliates competing for the same product/service; give the product a new perspective, associated with you as a marketing brand – this build authority throughout the community and helps build inbound links;

3. Increase the content volume of your site by launching multiple new and unique webpages. Don’t make your site all about sales pitches.

Blogs.

Without doubt the best CMS or content management system for young or tech-illiterate online marketers. But with all built-in automation, duplicate content can slip unnoticed among your content pages.

What you need to consider to prevent duplicate content from showing up on your blog:

1. Include each post in the category that best suits it’s tone and theme. Never cross include the same article on separate categories;

2. How to use the “More” feature. First, Always use it. Second, use it precociously in the post;

3.  Forbid major SEs from indexing parts of your blog used to enhance visitor experience like: popular posts and featured authors. You have two options: either use the rel=”nofollow” attribute to prevent any link juice being passed or you place a permanent stop sign in the robots.txt file.

AutoblogGreen writers recently got the chance to hear the Chief of Mazda’s US design team, Franz von Holzhausen, give an insight into the style and design culture at Mazda. Though the name sounds like a European stylist, Holzhausen was born in Simsbury, Connecticut and is now based in California.

He reveals that specific models and concepts at Mazda are taken from nature with designs that are more likely flowing and organic than the blocky shapes seen in most production cars today. But in his designs, Mazda’s persistent “Zoom, Zoom” philosophy, as always, will continue to play a big role in the designs of future automobiles. More RWD and AWD models will be coming in the lineup, and there will also be a departure from its current range, plus greater highlights on interiors, too.

For the past 2 years, Franz has been the US Chief of Design for Mazda and is working out of their Irvine, CA design center, one of three design centers Mazda that has, the others being in Europe and in Japan.

An Autoblog writer describes this designer as young, informal and tall. Accordingly, he also resembles a southern California surfer. But when he speaks, according to the writer, he really speaks of design.

For the past few years, the Mazda corporate theme has been “Zoom, Zoom”. And since then, the company is delivering the motto with attractive exterior design, quality interior design, and excellent engine performance as well as handling. And because of this, Mazda is growing in worth and in sales in the market, which is a good thing for a firm in the Ford family of nameplates.

Franz talked about the show cars that were recently displayed at different auto shows. Like what he revealed on Mazda designs, each car he discussed was as organic rather than geometric or on steroids as some “muscular” production vehicles look today. The cars’ designs are flowing and integrated but not really ergonomic. Each car will be a front engine, rear or all wheel drive vehicle, a departure from the front wheel drive of most existing Mazda vehicles.

These designs will likely be a starting point for future Mazda cars that have to comply with the new US Energy bill (with targets of 35mpg proposed for cars and trucks by 2020) when it gets passed. The industry still has to wait as to how green the cars would be.

About Mazda

Mazda’s vision is to create new value, excitement and delight to their customers through the best automotive products and services. Their mission is to actively communicate with passion, pride and speed with their customers to deliver insightful automotive products and services that exceed their expectations. Aside from making sure that each Mazda OEM part is quality based, the company values integrity, customer focus, creativity, efficiency and nimble actions and respects highly motivated people and team spirit. It positively spurs environmental matters, safety and society.

Blogging is a concept that started in late 90s. It used to be a way to comment an existing webpage, an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or voice out one’s opinion on the said page. What started as a single-sentence commentary has evolved into pages of personal take on just about anything and everything under the sun. As it continues to move forward, online advertising has tapped into the blog’s potential. Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

1.Blogging is simple. The simplest way to get your piece on the net is through blogging. No skills are necessary… an average adult can read and type, or at least click a mouse. It’s like having a virtual piece of paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new products, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your product. If you have a PC and an Internet connection (who doesn’t?) then you can blog and advertise.

2. Blogging is authentic. In this day and age where advertising saturate our lives, we question the credibility of promoters’ claims. However, in blogs, real people share their real-life experiences, unscathed by paid advertising. Reading blogs about first-hand product use is like talking to people about their first-hand experience. You definitely want to buy a tried and tested product.

3. Blogging is free. Because blogging is yet to be proven as a mainstream online advertising media, most sites see it as something to augment current marketing tools and thus offer it for free. Any opportunity for free webtime is definitely a bonus especially to businesses that are starting up. Needless to say, paid blog pages can generate more income for your seriously growing business.

4. Blogging builds credibility. As you get more and more into writing your experiences on a particular product or industry, your readers come to realize that they can depend on your posts for their own information needs. As such, you become an expert on it; as a consequence, more readers visit your site and more bloggers link to your blogs. As companies and professional organizations notice the growth of your readership base, they may soon get in touch with you for advertising on your blog page, or make you an affiliate, which pays for every referral generated from your blog site.

5. Blogging builds your market. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of friends, so she lets her friends know how interesting your blog site is. But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging:

-By using your e-mail. Today, blogging is overcoming the e-mail’s popularity in quickly and effectively reaching and expanding a market. In this age of speed and quick access, logging in and downloading e-mail is simply taking longer than clicking into a blog site. Let them explore your site by using a short e-mail message as teaser to your blog site. If your e-mail is on an entirely different subject, use your e-mail signature to give a link to the site.

-By using subscription. An easy way to get your readers e-mail is to give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blogsite. Keep some exclusive information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer.

-By understanding your readers. Conduct a simple survey for your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask consumers to give you feedback on a post, an ad link, or a trial that you shared. In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview.

-By joining a blog network –A network of blogs maybe a collection of blog sites that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one.

-By using RSS. RSS is the fastest growing technology on the Internet today. As such, having RSS feeds to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog site.

Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

WordPress is a fantastic tool for publishing your content on the web – although it is ostensibly a blogging tool it has now developed to become almost a fully fledged content management system (CMS). Having sung the praises of WordPress it must also be pointed out that it has areas of weaknesses. Fortunately WordPress is extensible through the use of plugins – small pieces of code / software that enhance the basic functionality of WordPress.

This article exams seven of the key plugins that you can add to your WordPress site to enhance its functionality. Plugins are very simple to add – simply go to your admin page, click on plugins then click add. The plugins outlined in this article can all be added to your site using this straightforward method. To find the actual plugins mentioned here simply type in the name of the plugin to the search box that appears after you have followed the simple steps listed above.

1)      Advertising manager

A plugin that allows the flexible placement of adverts within your blog, I use it for managing adsense, click bank and other adverts.  Very flexible and really takes the pain away from managing site advertising

2)      All in one SEO Pack

Probably one of, if not the, most important plugins you can use. It radically overhauls the ability of WordPress to manage page titles, meta tags (particularly description and keyword tags).  Although WordPress provides reasonable facilities to carry out search engine optimization on your site you will be leaving a lot on the table SEO wise if you do not install this plugin.

3)      Automatic SEO links

This plugin automatically searches you posts as they are published and creates hyperlinks to either other internal pages from your site or to external pages dependant on the rules you have created. It can create these links based on single words or phrases, the target can be specified (i.e. does the link open a new window etc) and a title can be set for each link (appears during a mouse over of the link). A fantastic tool for ensuring that you have a good internal linking setup within your site and also for linking to such things as affiliate sites to help generate revenue for your site.

4)      cbNET Ping optimizer

Out of the box WordPress can be setup to send out “pings” every time you update your blog, however there are some weaknesses with this inbuilt system. These weaknesses include sending out pings when a post is created even though it has been scheduled to appear at a future date rather than immediately and also sending out pings when existing posts change – this can lead to too many or inappropriate pings being generated.  cbNet Ping Optimizer overcomes that problem and provides a more flexible and robust pinging platform – a must have plugin.

5)      Contact Form 7

Every site should have a contact form to make it easier for users to get in touch with you – ContactForm 7 does exactly this in an easy to administer and flexible fashion. There are other ways of achieving the same functionality but none are as straightforward as this.

6)      Embed iFrame

From time to time it will be necessary to embed external content into your blog – a nice way to do this is to use an iFrame. Unfortunately WordPress does not allow you to use such functionality and hence the need for the Embed iFrame plugin. It is not fancy but it does exactly what is says on the tin and adds an extremely useful piece of functionality to WordPress.

7)      Google XML sitemaps

Having a sitemap can contribute to an improved search engine ranking. The Google XML sitemaps plugin is an extremely configurable and powerful automatic site map generation tool. It can be configured to regenerate the site map every time there is an update to your site, the contents of the sitemap can be specified, the output type can be set and many other factors are also configurable.

Of Course these are not the only plugins available; there is an extremely large and varied range out there for you to choose from. We will be producing more articles that look at other plugins that add useful features and functionality to your WordPress installation.

Development and production Design This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding reliable references. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (September 2009) The Panther was a direct response to the Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks.

First encountered on 23 June, 1941, the T-34 outclassed the existing Panzer III and IV. At the insistence of General Heinz Guderian, a special Panzerkommision was dispatched to the Eastern Front to assess the Soviet tanks. Among the features of the Soviet tank considered most significant were the sloping armor, which gave much improved shot deflection and also increased the effective armor thickness against penetration, the wide track, which improved mobility over soft ground, and the 76.2 mm gun, which had good armor penetration and fired an effective high-explosive round.

Daimler-Benz (DB) and Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nrnberg AG (MAN) were given the task of designing a new thirty to thirty-five-ton tank, designated VK30.02, by April 1942 (apparently in time to be shown to Hitler for his birthday). Panther on the Eastern Front, 1944. Panther Ausf. G in Houffalize, Belgium. The DB design was a direct homage to the T-34. It resembled the T-34 hull and turret form. DB’s design used a leaf spring suspension whereas the T-34 used coil springs. The DB turret was smaller than that of the MAN design and had a smaller turret ring which was the result of the narrower hull required by the leaf spring suspension which lay outside of hull. The main advantages of the leaf springs over a torsion bar suspension were a lower hull silhouette and a simpler shock damping design. Like the T34, the DB design had a rear drive sprocket. Unlike the T-34, the DB design had a three-man turret crew: commander, gunner, and loader. But as the planned L/70 75 mm gun was much longer and heavier than the T-34′s, mounting it in the Daimler-Benz turret was difficult. Plans to reduce the turret crew to two men to stem this problem were eventually dropped. The MAN design embodied more conventional German thinking with the transmission and drive sprocket in the front and a turret placed centrally on the hull. It had a gasoline engine and eight torsion-bar suspension axles per side. Because of the torsion bar suspension and the drive shaft running under the turret basket, the MAN Panther was higher and had a wider hull than the DB design. The slightly earlier, Henschel designed Tiger I heavy tank’s use of a “slack-track” Christie-style pattern of large road wheels with no return rollers for the upper run of track, and with the main road wheels being overlapping and interleaved in layout, were design concepts broadly repeated with the MAN design for the Panther. The two designs were reviewed over a period from January 1942 through March 1942. Reichminister Todt, and later, his replacement Albert Speer, both recommended the DB design to Hitler because of its several advantages over the initial MAN design. However, at the final submission, MAN improved their design, having learned from the DB proposal, and a review by a special commission appointed by Hitler in May 1942 ended up selecting the MAN design. Hitler approved this decision after reviewing it overnight. One of the principal reasons given for this decision was that the MAN design used an existing turret designed by Rheinmetall-Borsig while the DB design would have required a brand new turret to be designed and produced, substantially delaying the commencement of production. Production The MAN design also had better fording ability, easier gun servicing and higher mobility due to better suspension, wider tracks, and a bigger fuel tank. A mild steel prototype was produced by September 1942 and, after testing at Kummersdorf, was officially accepted.

It was put into immediate production. The start of production was delayed, however, mainly because there were too few specialized machine tools needed for the machining of the hull. Finished tanks were produced in December and suffered from reliability problems as a result of this haste. The demand for this tank was so high that the manufacturing was soon expanded beyond MAN to include Daimler-Benz, Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen-Hannover (MNH) and Henschel & Sohn in Kassel. The initial production target was 250 tanks per month at MAN. This was increased to 600 per month in January 1943. Despite determined efforts, this figure was never reached due to disruption by Allied bombing, manufacturing bottlenecks, and other difficulties. Production in 1943 averaged 148 per month. In 1944, it averaged 315 a month (3,777 having been built that year), peaking with 380 in July and ending around the end of March 1945, with at least 6,000 built in total. Strength peaked on 1 September, 1944 at 2,304 tanks, but that same month a record number of 692 tanks were reported lost. Allied bombing was first directed at the common chokepoint for both Panther and Tiger production – the Maybach engine plant, which was bombed the night of April 2728, 1944. Production was shut down for five months, but a second plant had already been planned, the Auto-Union plant at Siegmar, and this came online in May 1944. Targeting of Panther factories began with a bombing raid on the DB plant on August 6, 1944, and again on the night of August 23-24, 1944. MAN was struck on September 10, October 3, and October 19, 1944, and then again on January 3 and February 2021, 1945. MNH was not attacked until March 14 and March 28, 1945. In addition to interfering with tank production goals, the bombing forced a steep drop in the production of spare parts. Spare parts as a percentage of tank production dropped from 2530 percent in 1943, to 8 percent in the fall of 1944. This only compounded the problems with reliability and numbers of operational Panthers as tanks in the field had to be cannibalized for parts.

This compared with 82,500 RM for the StuG III, 96,163 RM for the Panzer III, 103,462 RM for the Panzer IV, and 250,800 RM for the Tiger I. These cost figures did not include the cost of the armament and radio. In terms of Reichmarks per ton, therefore, the Panther tank was one of the most cost-effective of the German AFV’s of World War II. However, these cost figures should be understood in the context of the time period in which the various AFVs were first designed, as the Germans increasingly strove for designs and production methods that would allow for higher production rates, and thus steadily reduced the cost of their AFVs. For example, another source has cited the total cost of the early production Tiger I in 19421943 to be as high as 800,000 RM. The process of streamlining the production of German AFVs first began after Albert Speer became Reichminister in early 1942 and steadily accelerated through 1944; production of the Panther tank thus coincided with this period of increased manufacturing efficiency. German AFV manufacturers at the start of World War II utilized only heavily labor-intensive and costly manufacturing methods unsuitable for the needs of mass production; even with streamlined production methods, Germany never approached the efficiency of Allied manufacturing during World War II. Design characteristics The Panther had a five man crew The weight of the production model was increased to 45 metric tons from the original plans for a 35 ton tank. Hitler had personally reviewed the final designs and insisted on an increase in the thickness of the frontal armor – the front glacis plate was increased from 60 mm (2.4 in) to 80 mm (3.1 in) and the turret front plate was increased from 80mm to 100 mm (3.9 in). The Panther was rushed into combat before all of its teething problems were corrected. Reliability was considerably improved over time, and the Panther did prove to be a very effective fighting vehicle; however, some design flaws, such as its weak final drive units, were never corrected due to various shortages in German war production. The crew was made up of five members: driver, radio operator (who also fired the bow machine gun), gunner, loader, and commander. Engine The first 250 Panthers were powered by a Maybach HL 210 P30 engine, V-12 gasoline engine which delivered 650 metric hp at 3000 rpm and had three simple air filters. Starting in May 1943, the Panthers were built using the 700 PS (690 hp, 515 kW)/3000 rpm, 23.1 litre Maybach HL 230 P30 V-12 gasoline engine. The light alloy block used in the HL 210 was replaced by a cast iron block to save aluminum. Two multistage “cyclone” air filters were used to automate some of the dust removal process. The HL 230 P30 engine was a very compact design which kept the space between the cylinder walls to a minimum. The crankshaft was composed of seven discs, each with an outer race of roller bearings, and a crankshaft pin between each disc. To reduce the length of the engine further, by one half a cylinder diameter, the two banks of 6 cylinders of the V-12 were not offset – the center points of the connecting rods of each cylinder pair in the “V” where they joined the crankshaft pin were thus at the same spot rather than offset; to accommodate this arrangement, one connecting rod in the pair of cylinders was forked and fit around the other “solid” connecting rod at the crankshaft pin. (A more typical “V” engine would have had offset cylinder banks and each pair of connecting rods would have fit simply side by side on the crankshaft pin). This compact arrangement with the connecting rods was the source of considerable teething problems early on. Blown head gaskets were another problem which was corrected with improved seals in September 1943. Improved bearings were introduced in November 1943 to replace the faulty ones that had failed frequently. An engine governor was also added in November 1943 that reduced the maximum engine speed to 2500 rpm. An eighth crankshaft bearing was added beginning in January 1944 to help reduce motor failures. The engine compartment space was designed to be watertight so that the Panther could be submersed and cross waterways. The result was that the engine compartment was poorly ventilated and prone to overheating. The fuel connectors in the early models were non-insulated, leading to leakage of fuel fumes into the engine compartment. This led to many engine fires in the early Panthers. Additional ventilation was added to draw off these gasses, which improved but did not completely solve the problem of engine fires. Other measures taken to reduce this problem included improving the coolant circulation inside the motor and adding a reinforced membrane spring to the fuel pump. The Panther had a solid firewall separating the engine compartment and the fighting compartment to keep engine fires from spreading to the crew. The engine became more reliable over time. A French assessment of their stock of captured Panthers in 1947 concluded that the engine had an average life of 1,000 km (620 mi) and maximum life of 1,500 km (930 mi). Suspension Interleaved wheels on a Panther The suspension consisted of front drive sprockets, rear idlers and eight double-interleaved rubber-rimmed steel road wheels on each side, suspended on a dual torsion bar suspension. The dual torsion bar system, designed by Professor Ernst Lehr, allowed for a wide travel stroke and rapid oscillations and high reliability, thus allowing for relatively high speed travel by this heavy tank over undulating terrain. However, the extra space required for the bars running across the length of the bottom of the hull, below the turret basket, increased the overall height of the tank and also prevented an escape hatch in the hull bottom. When damaged by mines, the torsion bars often required a welding torch for removal. The Panther’s suspension was complicated to manufacture and the interleaved system made replacing inner road wheels time consuming. The interleaved wheels also had a tendency to become clogged with mud and rocks and ice and could freeze solid overnight in the harsh winter weather of the Eastern Front. Shell damage could cause the road wheels to jam together and become extremely difficult to separate. Interleaved wheels had long been standard on all German half-tracks. The extra wheels did provide better flotation and stability and also provided more armor protection for the thin hull sides than smaller wheels or non-interleaved wheel systems, but the complexity meant that no other country ever adopted this design for their tanks. In September 1944, and again in March/April 1945, M.A.N. built a limited number of Panther tanks with steel roadwheels originally designed for the Tiger II and late series Tiger I tanks. Steel roadwheels were introduced from chassis number 121052 due to raw material constraints. From November 1944 through February 1945, a conversion process began to use sleeve bearings in the Panther tank, as there was a shortage of ball bearings. The sleeve bearings were primarily used in the running gear; plans were made also to convert the transmission to sleeve bearings but were not carried out as production of Panther tanks came to an end. Steering and Transmission Repair of the transmission of a Panther Steering was accomplished through a seven-speed AK 7-200 synchromesh gearbox, designed by Zahnradfabrik Friedrichshafen, and a MAN single radius steering system, operated by steering levers. Each gear had a fixed radius of turning, ranging from five meters for 1st gear up to 80 meters for 7th gear. The driver was expected to judge the sharpness of a turn ahead of time and shift into the appropriate gear to turn the tank. The driver could also engage the brakes on one side to force a sharper turn. This manual steering was a much simplified design compared to the more sophisticated dual radius hydraulically controlled steering system of the Tiger tanks. The AK 7-200 transmission was also capable of pivot turns, but this method of turning could accelerate failures of the final drive. Throughout its career, the weakest parts in the Panther were its final drive units. The problems of the Panther’s final drives were from a combination of factors. The original MAN proposal had called for the Panther to have an epicyclic/planetary (hollow spur) gear system in the final drive, similar to that used in the Tiger I. However, Germany at the time suffered from a shortage of gear-cutting machine tools and, unlike the Tiger tanks, the Panther was intended to be produced in large numbers. To achieve the goal of higher production rates, numerous simplifications were made to the Panther’s design and manufacturing. This process was aggressively pushed forward, sometimes against the wishes of designers and army officers, by the Chief Director of Armament and War Production, Karl-Otto Saur, who worked under (and later succeeded, in April 1945) Reichminister Albert Speer. And so the Panther’s final drive was changed to a double spur system. Although much simpler to produce, the double spur gears had inherently higher internal impact and stress loads, making them prone to failure under the high torque requirements of the heavy Panther tank. In contrast, both the Tiger II and the US M4 Sherman tank had double helical (herringbone) gears in their final drives, a system that reduced internal stress loads and was less complex than epicyclic/planetary gears. Germany’s wartime shortage of key alloying agents for making high strength steels also meant that to reach the desired high production rates a more readily available lower quality steel had to be substituted in the production of the double spur gears. Compounding these problems was the fact that the final drive’s housing and gear mountings were too weak, because of the type of steel used and/or because of the tight space allotted for the final drive; the gear mountings thus deformed easily under the high torque and stress loads, pushing the gears out of alignment and resulting in failure. The final drives of the Panther tank were so weak that their average fatigue life was only 150 km. In Normandy, about half of the abandoned Panther tanks were found by the French to have broken final drives. Plans were made to replace the final drive, either with a version of the original epicyclic/planetary gears planned by MAN, or with the final drive of the Tiger II. These plans were intertwined with the planning for the Panther II, and like the Panther II, never came to fruition. It was estimated that building the epicyclic/planetary gear final drive would have required 2.2 times more machining work, and this would have affected the manufacturing output. The mechanical unreliability of the Panther, a characteristic shared with the Tiger tanks, meant that long road marches would result in a significant number of losses due to breakdowns, and so the German Army had to ship the tanks by rail as close to the battlefield as possible. Armor Armor layout Initial production Panthers had a face-hardened glacis plate (the main front hull armor piece), but as armor-piercing capped rounds became the standard in all armies (thus defeating the benefits of face-hardening, which caused uncapped rounds to shatter), this requirement was deleted on March 30, 1943. By August 1943, Panthers were being built only with a homogeneous steel glacis plate. The Panther front hull had 80 mm of armor sloped back at 55 degrees from the vertical, welded but also interlocked for strength. The combination of a steep slope and thick armor meant that few Allied or Soviet weapons could penetrate this part of the tank. The armor for the side hull and superstructure (the side sponsons) was much thinner (4050 mm thick). The thinner side armor was necessary to keep the tank’s overall weight within reasonable bounds, but it made the Panther vulnerable to attacks from the side by most Allied and Soviet tank and anti-tank guns. German tactical doctrine for the use of the Panther thus emphasized the importance of flank protection. Five millimeter thick skirt armor, Schrzen, intended to provide protection for the lower side hull from Soviet anti-tank rifle fire was fitted on the hull side. Zimmerit coating against magnetic mines started to be applied at the factory on late Ausf D models beginning in September 1943 ; an order for field units to apply Zimmerit to older versions of the Panther was issued in November 1943. In September 1944, orders to stop all application of Zimmerit were issued, based on rumors that hits on the Zimmerit had caused vehicle fires. The rear hull top armor was only 16 mm thick, and had two radiator fans and four air intake louvres over the engine compartment that were vulnerable to strafing by aircraft. Panther crews were aware of the weak side armor and made unauthorized augmentations by hanging track links or spare roadwheels onto the turret and/or the hull sides. As the war progressed, Germany was forced to reduce or no longer use certain critical alloy materials in the production of armor plate, such as nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, and manganese; this did result in lower impact resistance levels compared to earlier armor. Manganese from mines in the Ukraine ceased when the German Army lost control of this territory in February 1944. Allied bombers struck the Knabe mine in Norway and stopped a key source of molybdenum; other supplies from Finland and Japan were also cut off. The loss of molybdenum, and its replacement with other substitutes to maintain hardness, as well as a general loss of quality control resulted in an increased brittleness in German armor plate, which developed a tendency to fracture when struck with a shell. Testing by U.S. Army officers in August 1944 in Isigny, France on three Panther tanks showed catastrophic cracking of the armor plate on two of the Panthers Armament The main gun was a 7.5 cm Rheinmetall-Borsig KwK 42 (L/70) with 79 rounds (82 on Ausf. G) with semi-automatic shell ejection. The main gun used three different types of ammunition, APCBC-HE (Pzgr. 39/42), HE (Sprgr. 42) and APCR (Pzgr. 40/42), the last of which was usually in short supply. While it was of only average caliber for its time, the Panther’s gun was one of the most powerful tank guns of WWII, due to the large propellant charge and the long barrel, which gave it a very high muzzle velocity and excellent armor-piercing qualities. The flat trajectory also made hitting targets much easier, since accuracy was less sensitive to range. The Panther’s 75 mm gun had more penetrating power than the main gun of the Tiger I heavy tank, the 8.8 cm KwK 36 L/56, although the larger 88 mm projectile might inflict more damage if it did penetrate. The tank typically had two MG 34 machine guns of a specific version designed for use in armored combat vehicles featuring an armored barrel sleeve. An MG 34 machine gun was located co-axially with the main gun on the gun mantlet; an identical MG 34 was located on the glacis plate and fired by the radio operator. Initial Ausf. D and early Ausf. A models used a “letterbox” flap opening, through which the machine gun was fired. In later Ausf A and all Ausf G models (starting in late November-early December 1943), a ball mount in the glacis plate with a K.Z.F.2 machine gun sight was installed for the hull machine gun. Turret Panther with regular mantlet. Panther with flattened lower (‘chin’) mantlet The front of the turret was a curved 100 mm thick cast armor mantlet. Its transverse-cylindrical shape meant that it was more likely to deflect shells, but the lower section created a shot trap. If a non-penetrating hit bounced downwards off its lower section, it could penetrate the thin forward hull roof armor, and plunge down into the front hull compartment. Penetrations of this nature could have catastrophic results since the compartment housed the driver and radio operator sitting along both sides of the massive gearbox and steering unit; more importantly four magazines containing main gun ammunition were located between the driver/radio operator seats and the turret, directly underneath the gun mantlet when the turret was facing forward. For the Ausf D and Ausf A models, a total of 27 rounds were stored in these magazines, which was reduced to 18 rounds for the Ausf G model. From September 1944, a slightly redesigned mantlet with a flattened and much thicker lower “chin” design started to be fitted to Panther Ausf G models, the chin being intended to prevent such deflections. Conversion to the “chin” design was gradual however, and Panthers continued to be produced to the end of the war with the rounded gun mantlet. In most cases the Panther’s gun mantlet could not be penetrated by either the M4′s 75 mm gun nor the T-34s 85 mm gun but could be penetrated by well-aimed shots at 100 m by the M4′s 76 mm gun, at 500 m by the Soviet A-19 122 mm gun on the IS-2 and at over 2500 yards (2286 m) by the British 17-pounder using APDS-ammunition. The side turret armor of 45 mm (1.8 in) was also vulnerable to penetration at long range by almost all Allied tank guns including the M4′s 75 mm gun which could punch through at 1500 m. These were the main reasons for continued work on a redesigned Panther turret, the Schmalturm, discussed later. The Ausf A model introduced a new cast armor commander’s cupola, replacing the more difficult to manufacture forged cupola. It featured a steel hoop to which a third MG 34 or either the coaxial or the bow machine gun could be mounted for use in the anti-aircraft role, though it was rare for this to be used in actual combat situations. The first Panthers, the Ausf D model, had a hydraulic motor that could traverse the turret at a maximum rate of 360 degrees in 60 seconds independent of engine speed. This slow traverse speed was improved in the Ausf A model with a hydraulic traverse that varied with engine speed, with a maximum rate of 360 degrees in 15 seconds if the engine was running at 3000 rpm. With the engine at 1000 rpm, the maximum traverse speed was 360 degrees in 46 seconds. A hand traverse wheel was like in any other tank, Axis or Allied, provided for the Panther gunner to fine tune the aim. This arrangement of the turret traverse mechanism was a slight weakness, as traversing the Panther’s turret rapidly onto a target required close coordination between the gunner and driver (to rev up the engine to maximum speed). By comparison, the M4 Sherman turret traversed at up to 360 degrees in 15 seconds and was independent of engine speed, which gave it an advantage over the Panther in close-quarters combat.. Ammunition Storage The locations for ammunition storage for the main 75 mm gun were a weak point of the Panther. No ammunition for the Panther was stored inside the turret, a positive given the weak side turret armor. However, a significant amount of ammunition was stored in the sponsons. In the Ausf D and A models, 18 rounds were stored next to the turret on each side, for a total of 36 rounds. In the Ausf G, which had deeper sponsons, 24 rounds were stored on each side of the turret, for a total of 48 rounds. In all models, 4 rounds were also stored in the left sponson between the driver and the turret. An additional 36 rounds were stored inside the hull of the Ausf D and A models – 27 in the forward hull compartment directly underneath the mantlet. In the Ausf G, the hull ammunition storage was reduced to 27 rounds total, with 18 rounds in the forward hull compartment. For all models, 3 rounds were kept under the turntable of the turret. The loader was stationed in the right side of the turret. With the turret facing forward, he had access only to the right sponson and hull ammunition, and so these served as the main ready-ammunition bins. The thin side armor could be penetrated at combat ranges by many Allied tank guns, and this meant that the Panther was vulnerable to catastrophic ammunition fires (“brewing up”) if hit from the sides. Combat use Panther tanks of the Grodeutschland Division advance in the area of Iai, Romania in 1944. Panther Ausf. Ds on rail cars in April/May 1943. Panthers were supplied to form Panzer Abteilung 51 (Tank Battalion 51) on 9 January, and then Pz.Abt. 52 on 6 February. The first production Panther tanks were plagued with mechanical problems. The engine was dangerously prone to overheating and suffered from connecting rod or bearing failures.

Gasoline leaks from the fuel pump or carburettor, as well as motor oil leaks from gaskets easily produced fires in the engine compartment; several Panthers were destroyed in such fires. Transmission and final drive breakdowns were the most common and difficult to repair. A large list of other problems were detected in these early Panthers and so from April through May 1943 all Panthers were shipped to Falkensee and Nuernburg for a major rebuilding program. This did not correct all of the problems, so a second program was started at Grafenwoehr and Erlangen in June 1943. Eastern Front The Panther tank was seen as a necessary component of the upcoming Operation Zitadelle, and the attack was delayed several times because of the mechanical problems of the Panthers, with the eventual start date of the battle only six days after the last of the Panthers had been delivered to the front. This resulted in major problems in the Panther units during the Battle of Kursk as tactical training on the unit level, coordination by radio, and driver training were all seriously deficient. It was not until the period of June 2329 that a total of 200 rebuilt Panthers were finally issued to Panther Regiment von Lauchert of the XLVIII Panzer Corps (4 Panzer Army). Two of the Panthers were immediately lost due to motor fires upon disembarking from the trains. By July 5, 1943, when the Battle of Kursk started, there were only 184 operational Panthers. Within two days, the number of operational Panthers had dropped to 40. On July 17, 1943 after Hitler had ordered a stop to the German offensive, Gen. Heinz Guderian sent in the following preliminary assessment of the Panthers: Due to enemy action and mechanical breakdowns, the combat strength sank rapidly during the first few days. By the evening of 10 July there were only 10 operational Panthers in the front line. 25 Panthers had been lost as total writeoffs (23 were hit and burnt and two had caught fire during the approach march). 100 Panthers were in need of repair (56 were damaged by hits and mines and 44 by mechanical breakdown). 60 percent of the mechanical breakdowns could be easily repaired. Approximately 40 Panthers had already been repaired and were on the way to the front. About 25 still had not been recovered by the repair service… On the evening of 11 July, 38 Panthers were operational, 31 were total writeoffs and 131 were in need of repair. A slow increase in the combat strength is observable. The large number of losses by hits (81 Panthers up to 10 July) attests to the heavy fighting. A later report (generated every ten days) of the inventory of Panthers on July 20, 1943 showed 41 Panthers as operational, 85 as repairable, 16 severely damaged and needing repair in Germany, 56 burnt out (due to enemy action), and 2 that had been destroyed by motor fires. However, before the Germans ended their offensive at Kursk, the Soviets began their counteroffensive, and succeeded in pushing the Germans back into a steady retreat. Thus, a report on August 11, 1943 showed that the numbers of total writeoffs in Panthers swelled to 156, with only 9 operational Panthers. The German Army was forced into a fighting retreat and increasingly lost Panthers in combat as well as from abandoning and destroying damaged vehicles. The Panther demonstrated its capacity to destroy any Soviet AFV from long distance during the Battle of Kursk, and had a very high overall kill ratio. However, it comprised less than seven percent of the estimated 2,4002,700 total AFVs deployed by the Germans in this battle, and its effectiveness was limited by its mechanical problems and the in-depth layered defense system of the Soviets at Kursk. Its greatest historical role in the battle may have been a highly negative one – its contribution to the decisions to delay the original start of Operation Zitadelle for a total of two months, time which the Soviets used to build up an enormous concentration of minefields, anti-tank guns, trenches, and artillery defenses. After the losses of the Battle of Kursk, the German Army went into a permanent state of retreat against the Red Army. The numbers of Panthers were slowly re-built on the Eastern Front, and the percentage of operational Panthers increased as its reliability was improved. In March 1944, Guderian reported of the Panther: “Almost all the bugs have been worked out”, although many Panther units continued to report significant mechanical problems, especially with the final drive. The greatly outnumbered Panthers came to be used as mobile reserves to fight off major attacks. The highest total number of Panthers listed as operational on the Eastern Front was achieved in September 1944, when some 522 Panthers were listed as operational out of a total of 728. Throughout the rest of the war, Germany continued to keep the great majority of Panther forces on the Eastern Front, where the situation progressively worsened for the Germans. The last recorded status of Panther forces, on March 15, 1945, listed 740 Panthers on the Eastern Front with 361 operational. By this time the Red Army had entered East Prussia and was advancing through Poland. Western Front – France At the time of the invasion of Normandy, there were initially only two Panther-equipped Panzer regiments in the Western Front, with a total of 156 Panthers between them. From June through August 1944, an additional seven Panther regiments were sent into France, reaching a maximum strength of 432 in a status report dated July 30, 1944. The majority of German panzer forces, six and a half divisions, were drawn into the British Second Army sector in the open country around Caen; the numerous battles became collectively known as the Battle of Caen. US forces in the meantime, facing one and a half German panzer divisions, mainly the Panzer Lehr Division, struggled in the heavy, low-lying bocage terrain west of Caen. Against the M4 Shermans of the Allied tank forces during this time, the Panther tank proved to be most effective when fighting in open country and shooting at long range – its combination of superior armor and firepower allowed it to engage at distances from which the Shermans could not respond.. However, the Panther struggled in the bocage country of Normandy and was vulnerable to side and close-in attacks in the built-up areas of cities and small towns. The commander of the PanzerLehr Division, Gen. Fritz Bayerlein made these comments about the weaknesses of the Panther tank in the fighting in Normandy: While the PzKpfw IV could still be used to advantage, the PzKpfw V [Panther] proved ill adapted to the terrain. The Sherman because of its maneuverability and height was good…[the Panther was] poorly suited for hedgerow terrain because of its width. Long gun barrel and width of tank reduce maneuverability in village and forest fighting. It is very front-heavy and therefore quickly wears out the front final drives, made of low-grade steel. High silhouette. Very sensitive power-train requiring well-trained drivers. Weak side armor; tank top vulnerable to fighter-bombers. Fuel lines of porous material that allow gasoline fumes to escape into the tank interior causing a grave fire hazard. Absence of vision slits makes defense against close attack impossible. Through September and October, a series of new Panzer-Brigades equipped with Panther tanks were sent into France to try to stop the Allied advance with counterattacks. This culminated in the Battle of Arracourt (September 1829, 1944), in which the mostly Panther-equipped German forces suffered heavy losses fighting against the 4th Armored Division of Patton’s 3rd Army, which were still primarily equipped with 75 mm M4 Sherman tanks and yet came away from the battle with only a few losses. The Panther units were newly formed, poorly trained, and tactically disorganized; most units ended up stumbling into ambush situations against seasoned U.S. tank crews. Western Front – Ardennes Offensive Burnt out Panther Ausf.G at the Battle of the Bulge, penetrated in the sponson. A status report on December 15, 1944 listed an all time high of 471 Panthers assigned to the Western Front, with 336 operational (71 percent). This was one day before the start of the Battle of the Bulge; 400 of the tanks assigned to the Western Front were in units sent into the offensive. The Panther once again demonstrated its prowess in open country, where it could shoot its victims at long range with near-impunity, and its vulnerability in the close-in fighting of the small towns of the Ardennes, where there were heavy losses. A status report on January 15, 1945 showed only 97 operational Panthers left in the units involved in the operation, out of 282 still in their possession. Losses were 198 Panthers listed as total write-offs. The Operation Greif commando mission included five Panthers assigned to Panzerbrigade 150 disguised to look like M10 Tank Destroyers by welding on additional plates, applying US-style camouflage paint and markings. This was carried out as part of a larger operation that involved soldiers disguised as Americans and other activities. The disguised Panthers were detected and destroyed. In February 1945, eight Panzer divisions with a total of 271 Panthers were transferred from the West to the Eastern Front. Only five Panther battalions remained in the west. One of the top German Panther commanders was SS-Oberscharfhrer Ernst Barkmann of the 2nd SS-Panzer Regiment “Das Reich”. By the end of the war, he had some 80 tank kills claimed. Fortification Pantherturm fortification in Italy, mid 1944. From 1943, Panther turrets were mounted in fixed fortifications, some were normal production models, but most were made specifically for the task, with additional roof armour to withstand artillery. Two types of turret emplacements were used; (Pantherturm III – Betonsockel concrete base) and (Pantherturm I – Stahluntersatz steel sub-base). They housed ammunition storage and fighting compartment along with crew quarters. A total of 182 of these were installed in the fortifications of the Atlantic Wall and West Wall, 48 in the Gothic Line and Hitler Line, 36 on the Eastern Front, and 2 for training and experimentation, for a total of 268 installations by March 1945. They proved to be costly to attack, and difficult to destroy. Panther battalion organization From September 1943, one panzer battalion with 96 Panthers comprised the panzer regiment of a Panzer-Division 43. Panzerbefehlswagen Panther Ausf.

Actual strengths tended to differ, and became far lower after losses. The Allied response Soviet The importance of the tank on the Eastern Front led to an arms race between the Germans and Soviets to produce AFVs with ever greater armor and firepower. The Tiger I and Panther tanks were German responses to encountering the T-34 in 1941. Soviet firing tests against a captured Tiger in April 1943 showed that the T-34′s 76 mm gun could not penetrate the front of the Tiger I at all, and the side only at very close range. An existing Soviet 85 mm antiaircraft gun, the 52-K, was found to be very effective against the frontal armor of the Tiger I, and so a derivative of the 52-K 85 mm gun was developed for the T-34. The Soviets thus had already embarked on the 85 mm gun upgrade path before encountering the Panther tank at the Battle of Kursk. After much development work, the first T-34-85 tanks entered combat in March 1944. The production version of the T-34′s new 85 mm gun proved to be ineffective against the Panther’s frontal armor, meaning the Soviet tank had to flank the Panther to destroy it, while the Panther’s main gun could penetrate the T-34 at long range from any angle. Although the T-34-85 tank was not quite the equal of the Panther, it was much better than the 76.2 mm-armed versions and made up for its quality shortcomings by being produced in greater quantities than the Panther. New self-propelled anti-tank vehicles based on the T-34 hull, such as the SU-85 and SU-100, were also developed. A German Army study dated October 5, 1944 showed that the Panther could easily penetrate the turret of the T-34-85 from the front at ranges up to 2000 m, and the frontal hull armor at 300 m, whereas from the front, the T-34-85 could only penetrate the non-mantlet part of the Panther turret at 500 m. From the side, the two were nearly equivalent as both tanks could penetrate the other from long range. The Battle of Kursk convinced the Soviets of the need for even greater firepower. A Soviet analysis of the battle in August 1943 showed that a Corps artillery piece, the A-19 122 mm gun, had done well against the German AFVs in that battle, and so development work on the 122 mm equipped IS-2 began in the fall of 1943. Soviet tests of the IS-2 versus the Panther included a claim of one shot that could penetrate the Panther from the front armor through the back armor. However, German testing showed that the 122 mm gun could not penetrate the glacis plate of the Panther at all, but it could penetrate the front turret/mantlet of the Panther at ranges up to 1500 m. The Panther’s 75 mm gun could penetrate the front of the IS-2s turret at 800 m and the hull nose at 1000 m. From the side, the Panther was more vulnerable than the IS-2. Thus the two tanks, while nearly identical in weight, had quite different combat strengths and weaknesses. The Panther carried much more ammunition and had a faster firing cycle than the IS-2, which was a lower and more compact design; the IS-2s A-19 122 mm gun used a two piece ammunition which slowed its firing cycle. American and British The Western Allies’ response was inconsistent. The Panther was not employed against the western Allies until early 1944 at Anzio, where Panthers were employed in small numbers. Until shortly before D-Day, the Panther was thought to be another heavy tank that would not be built in large numbers. However, just before D-Day, Allied intelligence investigated Panther production, and using a statistical analysis of the road wheels on two captured tanks, estimated that Panther production for February 1944 was 270, thus indicating that it would be found in much larger numbers than had previously been anticipated. In the planning for the Battle of Normandy, the US Army expected to face a handful of German heavy tanks alongside large numbers of Panzer IVs, and thus had little time to prepare to face the Panther. Instead, 38% of the German tanks in Normandy were Panthers, whose frontal armor could not be penetrated by the 75 mm guns of the US M4 Sherman. The British were more astute in their recognition of the increasing armor strength of German tanks, and had by the time of the Normandy invasion started a program to mount the excellent 17-pounder anti-tank gun on some of their M4 Shermans (Sherman Firefly). British and Commonwealth tank units in Normandy were initially equipped at the rate of 1 Firefly to 3 Shermans or Cromwells. This increased until by the end of the war, half of the British Shermans were Fireflies. The 17-pounder had slightly more punch at long range than the Panther’s 75 mm gun. The US armor doctrine at the time was dominated by the head of Army Ground Forces, Gen. Lesley McNair, an artilleryman by trade, who believed that tanks should concentrate on infantry support and exploitation roles, and avoid enemy tanks, leaving them to be dealt with by the tank destroyer force, which were a mix of towed anti-tank guns and lightly armored AFVs with open top turrets with 3-inch (M-10 tank destroyer), 76 mm (M18 Hellcat) or later, 90 mm (M36 tank destroyer) guns. This doctrine led to a lack of urgency in the US Army to upgrade the armor and firepower of the M4 Sherman tank, which had previously done well against the most common German armor – Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs – in Africa and Italy. As with the Soviets, the German adoption of thicker armor and the 7.5 cm KwK 40 in their standard AFVs prompted the U.S. Army to develop the more powerful 76 mm version of the M4 Sherman tank in April 1944. Development of a heavier tank, the M26 Pershing, was delayed mainly by McNair’s insistence on “battle need” and emphasis on producing only reliable, well-tested weapons, a reflection of America’s 3,000 mile supply line to Europe. U.S. awareness of the inadequacies of their tanks grew only slowly. All U.S. M4 Shermans that landed in Normandy in June 1944 had the 75 mm gun. The 75 mm M4 gun could not penetrate the Panther from the front at all, although it could penetrate various parts of the Panther from the side at ranges from 400 m to 2600 m. The 76 mm gun could also not penetrate the front hull armor of the Panther, but could penetrate the Panther turret mantlet at very close range. In August 1944, the HVAP (high velocity armor-piercing) 76 mm round was introduced to improve the performance of the 76 mm M4 Shermans. With a tungsten core, this round could still not penetrate the Panther glacis plate, but could punch through the Panther mantlet at 800 to 1000 yards, instead of the usual 100 yards for the normal 76 mm round. However, tungsten production shortages meant that this round was always in short supply, with only a few rounds available per tank, and some M4 Sherman units never received any. The 90 mm M36 tank destroyer was introduced in September 1944; the 90 mm round also proved to have difficulty penetrating the Panther’s glacis plate, and it was not until an HVAP version of the round was developed that it could effectively penetrate it from combat range. It was very effective against the Panther’s front turret and from the side, however. The high U.S. tank losses in the Battle of the Bulge against a force largely of Panther tanks brought about a clamor for better armor and firepower. At General Eisenhower’s request, only 76 mm M4 Shermans were shipped to Europe for the remainder of the war. Small numbers of the M26 Pershing were also rushed into combat in late February 1945. A dramatic newsreel film was recorded by a U.S. Signal Corps cameraman of an M26 stalking and then blowing up a Panther in the city of Cologne, after the Panther had knocked out two M4 Shermans. Production of Panther tanks and other German tanks dropped off sharply after January 1945, and eight of the Panther regiments still on the Western Front were transferred to the Eastern Front in February 1945. The result was that for the rest of the war during 1945, the greatest threats to the tanks of the Western Allies were no longer German tanks, but infantry anti-tank weapons such as the Panzerschreck and Panzerfaust, and infantry anti-tank guns such as the ubiquitous 7.5 cm Pak 40, and mobile anti-tank guns such as the Marder, StuG III, StuG IV, and Jagdpanzer. A German Army status report dated March 15, 1945 showed 117 Panthers left in the entire Western Front, of which only 49 were operational, ).

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (September 2009) Panther II on display at Patton Cavalry and Armor Museum, Fort Knox, KY. The turret on display was not originally fitted to this hull and was installed later. The early impetus for upgrading the Panther came from the concern of Hitler and others that the Panther lacked sufficient armor. Hitler had already insisted on an increase in armor to the Panther once, early in its design process in 1942. Discussions involving Hitler in January 1943 called for a Panther tank with further increased armor, initially referred to as Panther 2 (it became the Panther II after April 1943). This upgrade increased the glacis plate to 100 mm (3.9 in), the side armor to 60 mm (2.4 in), and the top armor to 30 mm (1.2 in). Production of the Panther 2 was slated to begin in September 1943. In a meeting on February 10, 1943, further design changes were proposed – including changes to the steering gears and final drives. Another meeting on February 17, 1943 focused on sharing and standardizing parts between the next Tiger tank and the Panther 2, such as the transmission, roadwheels, and running gear. Additional meetings in February began to outline the various components for the Panther 2, including use of the 88 mm L/71 KwK 43 gun. In March 1943, MAN indicated that the first Panther 2 prototype would be completed by August 1943. A number of engines were under consideration for use in the Panther II, among them the new Maybach HL 234 fuel-injected engine (900 hp operated by an 8-speed hydraulic transmission). Thus, plans to replace the original Panther design with the Panther II were already underway before the first Panther had even seen combat. From May to June 1943, further work on the Panther II ceased at the various manufacturers gearing up to produce the tank as the focus was shifted to expanding production of the original Panther tank. It is not clear if there was ever an official cancellation of the Panther II – this may have been because the Panther II upgrade pathway was started originally at the insistence of Hitler. The direction that the Panther II design was headed would not have been consistent with Germany’s need for a mass-produced tank, which was the goal of the Reich Ministry of Armament and War Production. One Panther II chassis was completed and eventually captured by the U.S.; it is now on display at the Patton Museum in Fort Knox. An Ausf G turret is mounted on this chassis. Panther Ausf. F After the Panther II project died, a more limited upgrade of the Panther was planned, centered around a re-designed turret. The Ausf F variant was slated for production in April 1945, but the war ended these plans. The earliest known redesign of the Panther turret was dated November 7, 1943 and featured a narrow gun mantlet behind a 120 mm (4.7 in) thick turret front plate. Another design drawing by Rheinmettall dated March 1, 1944 reduced the width of the turret front even further; this was the Turm-Panther (Schmale Blende) (Panther with narrow gun mantlet). Several experimental Schmalturm were built in 1944 with modified versions of the 75mm KwK 42 L/70, which were given the designation of KwK 44/1. A few were captured and shipped back to the U.S. and Britain. One is on display at the Bovington Tank Museum Model of Panther Ausf. F with proposed Schmalturm The Schmalturm had a much narrower front face of 120 mm (4.7 in) armor sloped at 20 degrees; side turret armor was increased to 60 mm (2.4 in) from 45 mm (1.8 in); roof turret armor increased to 40 mm (1.6 in) from 16 mm (0.63 in); and a bell shaped gun mantlet similar to that of the Tiger II was used. This increased armor protection also had a slight weight saving due to the overall smaller size of the turret. The Panther Ausf F would have had the Schmalturm, with its better ballistic protection, and an extended front hull roof which was slightly thicker. The Ausf F’s Schmalturm was to have a built-in stereoscopic rangefinder and lower weight than the original Panther turrets. A number of Ausf F hulls were built at Daimler-Benz and Ruhrstahl-Hattingen steelworks; however there is no evidence that any completed Ausf F saw service before the end of the war. Proposals to equip the Schmalturm with the 88mm KwK 43 L/71 were made from January through March 1945. These would have likely equipped future German tanks but none were built, as the war ended. E-50 The E series of tanks E-25, E-50, E-75, E-100 (the numbers designated their weight class) – was proposed to further streamline production with an even greater sharing of common parts and simplification of design. In this scheme, the Panther tank would have evolved into the E-50. A conical spring system was proposed to replace the complex and costly dual torsion bar system. The Schmalturm would have been used, likely with a variant of the 88 mm L/71 gun.

(August 2009) Although a technologically sophisticated vehicle for its time, the Panther’s design had only a very limited influence on postwar tank development. The Panther was (arguably) an early precursor to the modern Main Battle Tank, but apart from this debatable distinction only the French postwar AMX 50 tank prototype was directly and significantly influenced by it. While the AMX 50 never actually entered series production, the French did produce a modified version of the Panther’s 75 mm KwK 42 L/70 gun, as the 75 mm DEFA and CN75-50 gun. This gun equipped the first iteration of the AMX 13 light tank as well as the EBR armored car, and was also used by the Israeli M50 Super Sherman.[citation needed] The Panther itself also saw some limited use outside the German military, both before and after 1945. During the war, the Red Army employed a number of captured Panthers. These were repainted with prominent Soviet emblems and tactical markings to avoid friendly fire incidents. The Red Army still used a few Panthers as late as spring 1945.[citation needed] During March-April 1945 Bulgaria received 15 Panthers of various makes (D. A and G’s) from captured and overhauled Soviet stocks, they only saw limited (training) service use. They were dug down, with automotive components removed, as pillboxes along the Bulgarian-Turkish border as early as the late 40′s. The final fate of these pillbox Panthers is unknown but sources indicate that they were replaced and scrapped sometime during the 1950′s. One captured vehicle (nicknamed “Cuckoo”) also saw service with the British Coldstream Guards for some time. Japan reportedly bought a single Panther Ausf. D for reverse engineering purposes in 1943. However the tank apparently never actually made it to Japan. The Panther’s sloped armour and turret design nevertheless did influence the design of Japans last wartime tank prototypes; the medium Type 4 Chi-To and heavy Type 5 Chi-Ri. After the war, France was able to recover enough operable vehicles and components to equip the French Army’s 503e Rgiment de Chars de Combat with a force of fifty Panthers. These remained in service until about 1950, by which time they had all been replaced by French-built ARL 44 heavy tanks. In 1946, Sweden sent a delegation to France to examine surviving specimens of German military vehicles. During their visit, the delegates found a few surviving Panthers and had one shipped to Sweden for further testing and evaluation. Testing continued until 1961.

After testing more than 10 different traffic strategies for my blogs, my results shows me the there are 3 sources of traffic every blogger should get is:

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

You might already heard SEO. And would probably love to get traffic from Google. However, you are also convinced that it is hard and complicated. Well, blogs have lots of advantages in SEO. Google love blogs because blogs always provide fresh and lots of content. I rank high for many keywords with blogs easily. All you need to do is learn and apply the SEO basics. The first step is to optimize my blog for SEO. Next, I’ll start writing original and valuable blog post consistently. Finally, I’ll build backlinks by submitting articles and web directories. This is not hard but it takes time to reach. Probably 2-3 months.

2. Blog Commenting

Give valuable comments to other blogs which are related to your blog. The purpose of this is not to get readers to click on your link to your blog. Of course, it will be some bonus traffic. However, the main objective is to make new friends who share the same passion- blogging and talking about the same topic. When you have more blogging friends, all of you could help each other. They could recommend your blog to their readers if you write something good. You can do the same to provide more value to your readers too.

3. Word Of Mouth

Believe it or not, blogs are very powerful at word of mouth. Since the day I’ve learn about blog, I shared many blogs to all of my friends. I didn’t share that for some ‘Good Blogger’s Practice’. I shared them because I love those blogs. Their content helps me and I think it will help my friends. My friends thank me for sharing with them and I bring traffic to those blogs. If you are interested in people spreading the word for you, always remember this: ‘Provide Valuable Content’. Write contents or put up your own video that provide values to others.

4. Article Marketing

This is my favorite. This traffic strategy doesn’t takes months. You could start getting traffic from Article Marketing within days. All you need to do is write articles your targeted visitors want to read. Submit those articles you wrote to 5 popular article directories. You could start getting some traffic within a week and automated traffic over years. However, it is important to write a lot and not just few. Another benefit from using article marketing is that you can simply rewrite them in an informal style and post it on your blog. Both articles have similar contents but looks different. With this method, you are able to get traffic and update fresh content for your blog as well.

5. Forum Marketing

Forum marketing is fun and easy to many blogging beginners because all you need to do is chat in an online forum. Register an account and include a link to your blog in your signature. You might get some traffic if you reply often to the members’ post. But if you are interested in more traffic, learn to start a new topic. Start an interesting topic with an attractive title. If your topic draws people’s attention and replies, people would like to check out your blog to see anything more from you.

These are the 5 traffic strategies I recommend all beginners should start with. Although all of them take time to grow, it will grow into huge traffic streams and it is effortless to maintain.

My name is Katie, and I am here to talk briefly about my experiences with online marketing through blogging. For any of you looking to start your own online income stream, my advice is to listen to what Im going to say. I’m a simple person, and I dont make hyped up claims or misleading statements. These are the methods I use to make money, not anyone else’s.

Now as I said, I’m a stay at home mom. I live at home and no longer have the luxury of a dayjob. So after giving birth to my son, I began my venture into online marketing. Like many people, I dove into Affiliate  marketing, as it is a great way to make money and has a pretty low learning curve. I’m not a marketing genius, so I wasnt going to put time and effort into something I had no skills at. Simple is safe, and I live by this saying.

Despite what you may here out there, making money on the Internet isnt hard like many tell you. There will be people out there who do everything in their power to convince you that creating an online business is a complex task, and that in order to do it you will need to buy their product. The product usually costs in the thousands. Dont fall for schemes like this. If you can read, then you can learn, and eventually make money. Period.

So I jumped into blogging as a form of income after reading a few stories about other people who had made thousands, if not millions of simple blogs. Now I dont have to tell you what goes through a persons mind when reading a story like this. You want a piece of the action, and rightly you should. Blogging is a profitable market, especially with the huge wave of social networks like facebook and youtube. People want information, and furthermore, they want YOUR opinion.

As I am running out of space, I will cut to the chase. If you are looking to create a profitable blog online, and get traffic within literally a week or two, then I suggest getting your hands on the ebook below. Its called Blogging to the Bank, and its by Rob Benwell, a young UK man who made millions off one simple blog. In his ebook he lays out the exact system used to do it, and coincidentally the same system I used also.

This is a blog marketer’s Bible, and if your serious about doing the blog thing, then you need to get Blogging to the Bank. And while your at at, get any of Rob’s other ebooks too, as they get better each time they come out. I have my copy, so get yours.

There are a variety of sources to select where the content of an article marketing blog will come from.  For starters, you can do the writing yourself or if you have the resources you can hire someone to do the writing.  You can save some time when you have several writers working for you.

You have to remember some important factors when writing your own content.  You must use significant keywords in your article in order for the search engines to locate your blog.  It is also vital to choose what topic you are going to write about.  Choose a topic that is currently making the news whatever that might be and when you have chosen a topic, browse the popular websites containing similar topic as yours.  In that way you can get ideas on how they became popular.  Pursue trends and remark on what you come across.  In the world of internet being popular always equate to high volume of traffic.

An easy option for getting your article marketing blog content is by purchasing a Private Label Rights article or PLR.  You can find many sellers of this product on the internet.  A good thing about PLR articles is that you can divide them into many parts so that you can capitalize on their worth to the fullest.

Another resourceful way to get content is from RSS feeds.  Since these feeds are routinely amended by their owners, you do not have to update your own article because all you got are links to these feeds, unless they have edited the link itself.

When you have an article posted somewhere on the internet it is but natural for you to wish for more traffic.  In order for that wish to come true it is imperative that keywords be placed in your article so that when people search for something that has your keyword the search engines will be able to list your article for them.  There is a feature of some blogging software that will somehow automate some part of your article but it is still best to control the contents yourself.  Keywords are really the key towards a successful blog.

Lastly, there are article directories to help you produce traffic.  You can post your article on the sites of these article directories for a certain fee.  Pick an article directory provider that is listed on the first page of a search engine so that you maximize what you paid for and enjoy the benefit of their good reputation.  Be definite to follow their policies and submit a good article that meets their conditions.  When your article is already listed on an article directory you now have a link back to your blog.  In that way you will get greater chances of having large volume of traffic to your article marketing blog.

Because this site is meant as a frequently asked questions site, we thought we would help out our readers by giving them a quick browse glossary of common blogging terms and words to help those who are new to blogging figure out what’s going on. Nothing is worse than trying to figure something out and not understanding any of the jargon! So, without further ado, here is the Microblog Blogging Terms FAQ:

Blog: Short for Weblog, or a list of entries that are posted in reverse chronological order, with the newest entry or “post” located at the top of the site. Blogs began as lists of links and then evolved into lists of links with explanations before becoming what they are now—a variety of types of sites that are updated regularly.

Photoblogging: A blog or weblog that consists almost entirely of photos that have been taken by the blogger. Photo blogs are a great way to launch your career as a photographer or to supplement an already existing website. Sites like Flickr make online photo storage and upload easy for photobloggers.

Captcha: is a code that a person must type in when they want to fill out a form online. Many bloggers use them in their comments section to keep spam bots from filling up their comments sections with a bunch of junk that nobody cares about.

Trackback: Blog A links to Blog B. A pinging service alerts Blog B to Blog A’s reference. This ping is called a trackback and is displayed in the comments section. It is a way for a blogger to notify another blogger of being linked to or referenced.

Widget: A piece of code that gets plugged into the coding of a blog to make certain functions easier. Widgets are often used in sidebars to display photos or links or other elements. Their job is to cut down on the amount of time it takes the blogger to change various design or content elements of the blog.

Dooced: The act of getting fired for talking about your job on your blog. Heather Armstrong the author of the uber popular blog: Dooce was among the first to be fired from her job for talking about her job on her website. Her firing was talked about all over the internet and the term “Dooced” was coined.

RSS: Really Simple Syndication. It allows blog readers to “subscribe” to a blog to be alerted to new blog posts via an automated system—either by e-mail or in a “feed” reader.

Podcast: An audio recording made that can be downloaded and played in a portable mp3 player or via a computer. A podcast feels quite a bit like a radio show and can be about any subject. Many bloggers get together to do podcasts as a supplement to blogging.

Traffic: The amount of visits a blog site sees in a day. The higher the “traffic” a blog sees, the more popular that blog is.

Looking for a WordPress newsletter plugin that can increase your subscribers and build your email list fast?

I recently did an intensive test-drive of a brand-new WordPress newsletter plugin and here’s why I think you should check it out:

First of all, ‘Subscribers Magnet’ is a wordpress plugin from Max Blog Press which will rapidly build your email list by using the technology in some unconventional and unique ways.

To see it in action, watch this video
http://www.maxblogwordpress.com

Briefly, let me tell you about some of the key features. You have the option to add your opt-in form anywhere on your blog, and actually ‘entice’ your visitors to join your list in a very friendly manner.

You can add your form to your blog’s sidebar, footer, within the post itself and even in the comments section — where people are already responding to your content.

The most exciting part about this little WordPress newsletter plugin is that you have full control over the look, feel, location and functionality of your forms; the plugin works with any major autoresponder (like AWeber, GetResponse, etc.).

In the hands of responsible bloggers who understand the value of building a list of email subscribers, this plugin is so powerful, it could triple your sign-up rate almost overnight, without you having to get more blog visitors than you’re already getting.

For example, if you actually get 100 unique visitors to your blog on a regular basis and you convert 5% (on average) to subscribe to your list, meaning 5 visitors opt-in, then using this new auto-filling WordPress newsletter plugin, you could get more like 15 new subscribers instead, from the exact same amount of traffic!

So if you understand the power of optimization, you’re going to love this subscriber’s magnet plugin — that’s for sure!

Imagine your visitors landing on your blog… this plugin will automatically fill the visitor’s name and email into the opt-in form on your blog. They won’t have to type in their email and name anymore. It’s all done for them, on auto-pilot.

See the WordPress newsletter plugin in action in this video here:
http://www.maxblogwordpress.com

You should use this WordPress newsletter plugin only if:

1. You want to double, triple and even quadruple your subscription rate ‘overnight’ – and do it over and over again, day and night, week after week, month after month.

2. You are sick and tired of not getting optimum list conversion and want to get the maximum from your blog’s real estate by placing your opt-in form in strategic, non-intrusive locations, where anybody can see it.

3. You want to show the opt-in form on the footer bar, which is highly visible but not obnoxious. Very good for turning first time visitors into subscribers.

4. You want to SEND an “automatic” and highly-personalized ‘thank you message’ by email, on the first occasion someone comments on your blog. Think of the possibilities! In that message you can invite them to join your newsletter or rss feed. It’s another “friendly” reason to bond trust with your readers and get them on your list, in a non intrusive way.

5. You want to take advantage of the unique tracking available for each subscription method – you will know for sure which forms perform better than others; with this new found knowledge, you’ll really be able to boost your sign-up rate like never before.

Blogging is an important tool in the Auto Traffic Avalanche system. Here we take a look at a few reasons why.

First, running a blog is simple. The simplest way to get your piece about the net is via running a blog. No abilities are necessary… an average adult can read and type, or at least click a mouse. As shown in Auto Traffic Avalanche course, it’s like having a virtual piece of paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new items, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your product. If you have a PC and an Web connection (who doesn’t?) then you can blog and advertise.

Blogging is free. Simply because running a blog with Auto Traffic Avalanche system is yet to become proven as a mainstream online marketing media, most sites see it as something to augment current advertising tools and thus offer it for free. Any opportunity for totally free webtime is certainly a bonus particularly to companies which are starting up. Needless to say, compensated weblog pages can generate much more earnings for the seriously growing business.

Running a blog builds your marketplace. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of buddies, so she lets her friends know how interesting your weblog site is. But you need not depend on Mom to improve your readership base. Using Auto Traffic Avalanche methods to construct your marketplace via blogging:

-By using subscription. An simple way in Auto Traffic Avalanche course to get your readers e-mail is to provide them an opportunity to subscribe for your blogsite. Keep some exclusive information for the subscribers to entice visitors to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last point you would like is a comment in your weblog that you are a spammer.

-By joining a blog network – A network of blogs maybe a collection of blog sites that share the same business, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to a number of real bloggers about just one subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one.

Give your business a boost by successfully utilizing running a blog as an Web advertising tool of your overall Auto Traffic Avalanche marketing strategy.

The title now belongs to – Toyota!

According to Robert Farago of the Truth About Cars who claimed to have parroted what a Toyota spokesman said, Toyota has finally achieved the status as the world’s largest automaker. The Japanese giant’s victory comes after nipping at the General’s heels at number two for a good while now. Mr. Farago’s point has been verified by those arbiters of all info relevant and accurate – AutoBlog.

But the numbers are still very close. GM could snatch back the title by posting a strong second quarter. But that, of course, remains to be seen.

In 2006, The General and all his yes-men (Hummer, Opel, Saab, et al.) sold 9.18 million units. Toyota and all its subsidiaries (Daihatsu, Lexus, et al.) parted with 9.02 millions, comparatively. The Japanese juggernaut plans on churning out as many as 9.34 million sales this year. The figure was about 160,000 cars which represents last year’s difference in global sales between General Motors and Toyota according to Detroit News.

Toyota Motor Corporation not only unseated Ford for the World’s No. 2 spot last year, but it also managed to unseat the General for top automaker du monde, according to a Detroit News report sited by Reuters. The report suggested that General Motors tried to bulk up its total sales tally by counting the vans it sold in conjunction with Chinese firm Shanghai Automotive – a company in which GM owns less than a 50% stake. Ouch.

Rather than contesting its top spot, ToMoCo just quietly did what ToMoCo quietly does – make and sell lots of cars (8.8 million last year), efficiently. By the new numbers, Toyota outsold GM by some 128,000 units.

Since Toyota is known the world over as mass-market maker of cars, trucks, and SUVs that go from A to B reliably (unless your Tundra or Sequoia have been suffering from suspension troubles). What Toyota is not known for – not since the days of the Supra at least – is for being the motoring enthusiast’s carmaker of choice.

But that is set to change with the premiere of the Lexus LF-A “supercar,” Toyota’s efforts in F1 racing, and the Japanese carmakers bold entry into that previously all-American driving sport – NASCAR.

While it’s unlikely that Toyota will turn a cold shoulder on its core clientele of Consumer Reports subscribing pragmatists, the company’s overtures to the racing set marks a new direction for the world’s second largest car manufacturer. This may help keep them in top position.

Question: Is your blog listed in Google’s Blog search?

What is Google’s Blog Search?

Blog Search is a special Google search engine that indexes nothing but blogs. Whether you’re looking for book reviews, entertainment, sports talk, recipes or anything else, Blog Search enables you to find information on literally any subject you can think of.

And the results you get back are fresh. The blog index is continually updated, which means you’ll always get the most accurate and up-to-date search results.

And here’s a handy feature.  Not only can you search for blogs written in English, but also Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, French, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Swedish, Malay, Polish, Thai, Indonesian, Tagalog, Turkish, Vietnamese and many other languages.

A really cool feature I like are the stories that are featured on the Blog Search home page. Blog Search uses a computer program to determine the most popular stories in the blogosphere.

What kind of blogs are included in Blog Search?

Blog Search lists every blog that publishes a site feed (either RSS or Atom).

How do I get my blog listed?

If your blog publishes a site feed in any format and automatically pings an updating service (such as Ping-O-Matic or Google Blog Search Pinging Service), Google should be able to find your blog and list it. To ensure your blog gets found, you should definitely set up automatic pinging. You can also submit your blog manually for inclusion here:

http://blogsearch.google.com/ping?hl=en

How can I find out if my blog is listed?

If your blog publishes a site feed in any format, chances are it’s listed. But if you want to know for sure, visit Blog Search and search for your blog at:

There are many benefits that we heard about making money on the internet such as we can stay at home and be with our families all the time and enjoy more flexibility lifestyle. Luckily, there are many ways that you can make money on the internet. Below is one of the methods of making money on the internet which is using a blog. Is this method sound familiar to you?
Starting your own profitable blogs might sound great to you. It does take a lot of work but the work itself is very rewarding. You have to have a great plan before you decide to start a blogs which are profitable.

Before you start your own blogs, try to found a niche market / industry that you are able to research and write about. Try to search for the similar theme of the blogs online and research on how the author can create an informative blogs that have many contents. This is a very important factor because your interest / profession on a particular niche lead you to create a promising effort on developing and maintaining your blog. Many bloggers makes this mistake during their blog creation, they tends to dominate all the niche available and create a blogs with multiple theme, hence they cannot manage to create and maintain the contents on the blogs, and somehow they will lose visitors on visiting their blogs because of poor and un-focused contents. Please remember this, your blog must not be “everything”, but it must be “something”.

Secondly, after you decide your theme / niche. You might have to research the suitable keywords for your blogs. Search for the competition on the niche according to the amount of website or blogs that are created using the same theme with you. Try to use long tail keywords for blogs as this will help you to get more exposure on the search engine. Long tail keyword such as “make money online using blogs” will be better than “make money online”. There are some online tools that you can use to research for good keywords for your blogs such as Free wordTracker tools.

After you research for the suitable keywords for your blog, you have to choose the web hosting services where you can host your blogs online. There are free blog hosting services online, but it is recommended that you choose to host your blogs on your own hosting account because you will gain more flexibility and control over your blog. Blogging software such as WordPress is one of the popular blogging tools uses by thousand of bloggers because of its flexibility and its automated installation features supported by most web hosting company such as iWebHosting.com.my using CPanel control panel systems.

These are few planning steps before you start your own profitable blogs. It is recommended you follow these steps and host your own WordPress blogs before further development on your blogs.

Do You Need High Google Rankings? Start Creating Content…

Content Creation is one of the important factors in ranking well on search engines such as google. When building a marketing plan to promote your sites or blogs, the articles that you create for your sites is the main factor to opening online success because search engines like Google, love unique and fresh content sites and reward them with good rankings.

Before writing your content, you have to consider making a good keyword research study. Keyword research tools (later on this) will show you which keywords the users are looking for, so you can make articles for them. Once you have interesting terms for your niche, it’s time to create articles related to those terms.

You Need 3 or 6 Articles Per Day.

In order to succeed with your article writing strategy, you have to keep in mind that creating as many articles as possible is something really important. Writing more articles means a greater chance to get more and more traffic.

The key is to deliver many articles per day. Creating 3-6 articles per day is something great to start. To put it simple, you need to create about nearly 150 articles per month. This action, may bring you good traffic to your sites (and more sales, of course)

How to Create 150 Articles Per Month (or more) Without Wasting Your Time.

This may sound like a lot of work. And you may think that creating so many articles per month it’s something that’s beyond your imagination. Well, you need to create them. Now, how can you do this?

Good news is that you don’t need to do that hard job if you don’t want. You can use a ghostwriter to outsource your content creation (but this may be not something cheap if you need a big number of articles) or you can get private label rights articles and then rewrite them to make them unique.

You need to make them unique since search engines hate duplicate content (a single plr article can be used by 1000′s of websites).

Rewriting Your Articles with a Couple of Clicks

A good way to automate your rewriting is by using a content rewriting software to make your plr articles unique. There are content rewriters to make save you time and money. One that makes a big difference is Smart Article Generator.

This is the only all in one system for content development: It’s a unique article generator (you can create multiple articles on different subjects in minutes) and a 1 click article rewriter (creates lots of unique articles from one plr article).

It also comes with a niche research tool (tells you what to write about). It also has an affordable price (no monthly fees) and comes with free lifetime updates. A must have tool.

Once you are ready to automate your content creation and create 4 to 5 articles per day, you can start getting more and more traffic to your sites and blogs (while increasing your sales and revenue).

In 1938, when Harley Earl designed the Buick Y-Job, the auto industry would never be the same. The said car became the first concept and the first of the numerous concept vehicles to this day.

Concept cars or show cars are generally designed to demonstrate a new concept whether in the design, performance or features. These are commonly displayed on auto shows where car manufacturers can gauge the level of acceptance among the countless auto show attendees. These vehicles are considered to be some of the best looking cars given the fact that they are designed not for production meaning car makers can spend a lot of money in producing a single prototype. In recent memory, there are at least ten “coolest” concept cars which are not expected to be mass-produced anytime soon. These ten concept cars were listed by ign.com, a multimedia news and reviews website which also cover cars.

One of the ten coolest concept cars is the Chrysler Firepower – a concept car based on the iconic Dodge Viper. The said concept car was developed by DaimlerChrysler back when the German and the American companies were still together. One of the most pleasing attributes of this concept car is its sleek styling and luxurious interior. Not only does the Firepower boasts of its looks but also of its power which comes from a 6.1-liter HEMI V8 engine.

According to Chrysler, the Firepower concept’s engine can produce as much as 425 horsepower and can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. With Chrysler facing reduced sales and being separated from its parent, the production of the Firepower is almost impossible indeed.

Another concept vehicle on the list is the Ford SportTrac Adrenalin. Just like the Chrysler Firepower, the Adrenalin was also announced to be produced by the Dearborn-based company. Unfortunately though for those who were expecting the production version of the Adrenalin, production was called off for undisclosed reasons. The Adrenalin would have been part of Ford’s Special Vehicle Team which specializes in the production of tuned version s of Ford production vehicles. The fact that the Adrenalin was supposed to be a “tuner” production vehicle shows how the concept car got into the list. Its production version was, before it was called off, would have been a V8 engine which reportedly can produce 390 horsepower.

Another advanced concept vehicle which made the list is the Jeep Hurricane. This concept vehicle is unlike the Firepower and the Adrenalin in the sense that this vehicle was never intended to be mass produced. One apparent reason for that is the cost of production since the Hurricane comes equipped with two HEMI engines. Both of these engines can produce as much as 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque. That means that the Hurricane has access to as much as 670 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque.

If the vehicle had been mass-produced, its engine could have produced more power if fitted with Jet chips aftermarket parts. The two engines are placed on both ends of the vehicle to give the rear and the front wheels equal power. The two engine configurations are not the only “cool” things about the Hurricane though. The vehicle has the ability to turn all four of its wheels inwardly which allows it to have a zero-foot turning radius. With those features, the Hurricane would have become the supreme off-road driving vehicle in production.

Next on the list of the “coolest” concept vehicles is the Maserati Birdcage. This concept vehicle was produced by the Italian car manufacturer based on the MC12/Enzo chassis. This means that the Birdcage not only has good looks but it also has the power under its hood to back up its sleek styling. A real statement in the exterior design of the vehicle is its canopy which opens and closes similar to that of jet cockpit. It was designed by Maserati to pay homage to the Birdcages of the 1960s which won races even against German cars.

Another concept vehicle on the list is the Nissan Terranaut. While it differs among the other concept vehicles on the list in terms of exterior styling, the Terranaut offers the most advanced interior among concept vehicles. This is a roving scientific lab complete with advanced workstations. This is one concept vehicle that will not be seen on any showroom in the near future. When it comes to the interior of a concept vehicle, the Saab Aero-X is on the top of the list with its cockpit resembling that of a jet fighter. Similar to the Birdcage, the canopy of the Aero-X is operates like that of a jet fighter.

Another concept vehicle on the list is the Suzuki P.X. This concept vehicle is arguably the biggest in the list. According to its manufacturer: “For people who want to indulge their sense of enjoyment without compromising family mobility, Suzuki presents the P.X. Inside it has a streamlined form that’s refreshingly modern but comfortingly familiar, to give a roomy, high-class environment equipped with everything you need for enjoyment. Three rows of limousine-style Recaro seats combine relaxing comfort with a second-row function that creates even more space. The P.X. is the ideal compact minivan in which to chill out and enjoy the ride.”

In terms of size, the concept vehicle Toyota F3R is not left behind by the P.X. This minivan exhibits the same characteristics of the Scion xB. Both the xB and the F3R are boxy but quite appealing in their boxiness. The F3R is also loaded with cool features such as ambient lighting, a lounge in the back, and a high-end AV system.

Another concept vehicle on the list is the Volkswagen EcoRacer. This concept vehicle is not only in the list for its good looks and high level of performance. That is because its 1.5 liter turbo diesel engine is one of the most efficient in its class. The fuel efficiency of this car may have given Volkswagen the green light to mass produce this vehicle but due to unknown reasons, the company does not plan to mass produce the EcoRacer.

Last but not the least on the list is the Volvo 3CC. This concept vehicle runs on an electric motor which makes it a cleaner car than the EcoRacer. Similar to the EcoRacer though, the 3CC combines its environment friendliness with stunning good looks and a performance level to boot.

One of the more recent secrets people are using to get their
websites in the search engines, the last couple of years, is
with Blogs. Blogs are short for web logs and are like daily
dairies on the web.

Blogs started out as ways for Internet reality types to share
their lives with other people on the web, without having to
learn very complicated web design applications like Dreamweaver
or Microsoft FrontPage.

Dreamweaver, the standard professional web design program takes
a least 6 months to master. While FrontPage on the other hand
looks a lot like Microsoft Word, and therefore can be used a bit
more quickly by people just starting out.

Blogs are much easier to use than any web design software. They
can be used to change web content from a browser, email, and
even simple desk top software. Blogs are web pages created with
automated software that date stamps all changes to content.

One of the secrets the web marketers use to get their new
websites into the major search engines like (Google – Yahoo! and
MSN) is called blog and ping. So many Internet fortunes are
being built on this simple technique.

If you want your new website to be indexed (or included in the
search engine database) you shouldn’t submit it to the search
engines — instead you should blog and ping.

There is a new feature with Google and Yahoo! known as sitemaps,
which will also get your site indexed, but most of us will do
fine with learning first to blog and ping.

Blogs index and file your web pages automatically according to
the way you specify in advance.

Google loves blogs and has its own web based application called
Blogger. You can set up a Blogger account for free at
Blogger.com.

You should use Blogs for your business to give updates to your
customers and supporters every few days on your company’s news
or inside information. You can also reflect on industry trends
with your business blog.

What’s nice about blogs if you want to get your site in the
search engines or keep the search engines up to date with your
latest optimization or content efforts. You can post your new
website or page to your blog page and link to that page.

The search engines will visit the blog page more frequently and
index your new pages or web sites some times in a day or two.
Also make sure when you post a new blog in Blogger.com you set
up your account to ping (or notify) the other major blog
directories that your blog has been updated.

Or if you want to get your new site into Google go to a high
ranked blog listed in Google. If the Blog allows comments give a
good comment on the blog. Then link back to the page you want
indexed in the Blog.

Make sure you give a worth while or useful comment or it will be
considered blog spam by the website administrators. Sometimes
blog publishers disable the comment feature for this reason,
therefore it is important to have your own blogs especially if
you have more than one site. This will get the Google spider to
index your new sites or web pages within a few days and consider
your site for its database given the criteria of its algorithm.

If you are looking for a fast, inexpensive and efficient way to
build a lot of content on your site, which the search engines
will pick up, go to Blogger and open up a free blogging account
and join the blogosphere.

- The Love Affair between the Search Engines, Blogs and RSS I
have been extolling the SEO benefits of Blogs since almost two
years ago. Although blogs and search engines don’t seem to enjoy
the free for all love affair they once had, the search engines
and blogs seem to still be married “for better or for worst”.

The romance and infatuation phase between search engines and
blogs has waned because of blog spam. However search engines
dare not divorce blogs because they tend to cook up regularly
updated content.

Blogs are also search engine friendly in design. As publishers
we love blogs because it is an easy way for us to update our
sites with new content.

Many top marketers are extolling about the power of blogs and
their natural extension RSS feeds. Almost every successful
Internet Marketers today is using some variation of blogs and
RSS feeds.

Everywhere you go the web gurus are talking about the great
upside potential of blogs and RSS. RSS for the purpose of
discussing this issue stands for Really Simple Syndication.

RSS is presently being used by Internet marketers to share their
blog headlines with websites and desktops all over the world.
Think of RSS as giving you the ability to blog without
boundaries.

People on other websites and with downloadable RSS newsreader
software can read your newest blog posts without visiting your
site. Sites that value your expertise will in a viral fashion
feature your RSS feeds and help generate traffic to your site.

This allows you to leverage traffic from other peoples sites who
feature your blog. Moreover, your subscribers who read your RSS
headlines on their desktop software will avoid email filters.

Before you explore or upgrade to RSS marketing experiment with
desktop newsreaders like Tristana or News Gator. If you prefer
to read RSS from your browser download and install Mozilla’s
FireFox Browser.

RSS feeds will be the next phase in Internet marketing following
the search engines, email marketing, affiliate marketing, and
joint ventures.

By having people subscribe to your blog’s RSS feeds, or having
them syndicated on other people’s websites you will be getting a
running start on the explosion in blog and RSS marketing once
Internet Explorer integrates RSS into its browser

Like advertisers, marketers and business professionals from many states across the U.S. (and beyond), the amount of resources invested by online Utah advertisers in Internet advertising services are growing every year. After all, Utah has a large entrepreneurial base and a cache of business experts who have made offline business in Utah a rather fierce affair. As truculent as the war has been however it seems that the most cutthroat battle is still ahead: the battle of Utah Internet Advertising.

Leveraging Advertising Power for More Effective Utah Internet Advertising

If your business has been rated well by major search engines or if you have invested in a successful PPC or affiliate marketing campaign you’ve probably glimpsed the awesome power the World Wide Web can have on the success of your humble business. When it comes to advertising and a meagerly small budget however it is hard to know how can you invest in the palmy Utah Internet advertising campaign that every Utah business professional could benefit from.

Utah Internet Advertising that Works

The answer to the Utah Internet advertising question may not be the answer that business professionals want to hear and by no means is it the only one. There are a variety of ways to tackle advertising challenges but the obvious way to be successful in advertisement is to create associations between your products/services and the needs of your customers. Finding the best way to make these cagey connections isn’t easy (especially if you want to remain ethically impregnable) but a simple way to begin is to decide which advertising methodology you want to utilize by observing the current trends of popular and propitious advertisements. The observation of these trends doesn’t have to be expensive. Watching T.V. Commercials for instance can be an easy and inexpensive way of creating your own analysis for your next Utah Internet advertising campaign.

This remainder of this article will focus on one of the current (i.e. From about the 60′s or 70s until the present) advertising trends that is working (and working well) in the United States today. You of course do not have to implement this technique in your own Utah Internet advertising campaign (some Utah professionals might even consider it unethical) but this analysis may help you to observe additional advertising trends that would prove more beneficial to your own Utah Internet advertising campaign.

The Current Advertising Trend of Rights to Indulgence, Self-Importance and Superiority: Would it work for a Utah Internet Advertising Campaign?

Consumers know that advertisers (some advertisers that is) are quick to use the basics of self preservation such as material goods (i.e. greed) and physical intimacy (i.e. sex) greed and sex to attract the average consumer. After all, every person is “susceptible” to these self-preserving needs. However, an online article1 by Richard F. Taflinger, PhD also points out that the concepts of self-esteem or a sense of “self” can contribute to successful material accomplishments and sexual intimacy which makes advertising to the “self” a popular way to kill two birds with one advertising stone! Of course, you might think this type of advertisement might not be used in Utah but if those are your thoughts, think again! Arctic Circle, a Utah based company has already used the technique for television (see below) based advertising and it is very likely that Utah Internet advertising examples are also (or will soon be) made available.

Examples of Self Importance and Self Indulgence Advertisements

A very popular method of advertising today is to create a sense that every human being whether a man or a woman has a right to indulge a sense of self or a sense of self importance and superiority as long as he or she has the means to purchase certain objects (of course the purchase requirement is NOT usually explicit). Examples of this zeitgeist of indulgence and superiority include examples such as the L’Oreal campaign slogan, “Because you’re worth it,”2 which of course infers that every woman (regardless of how much she has to spend) has the innate right to purchase mascara, foundation, eye liner and sparkled lotions. Additional examples of the right to indulgence campaigns include the following examples:

Dove Chocolate– “My Moment, My Dove”3
Hummer– “Restore Your Manhood”4
McDonald’s– “Your Deserve a Break Today”5
Johnny Walker Black Whiskey– “Honor Thyself”6
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate– “Award Yourself the CDM”7
Acura– “The True Definition of Luxury. Yours.”8
Braniff Airways– “When you’ve got it, flaunt it.”9

The right to indulgence or superiority doesn’t end with individuals however. Groups can be persuaded to superiority as well. Take for example the United States Army slogan that says, “Some of Our Best Men are Women.”10

Utah self importance advertising includes the Arctic Circle commercial where the young boy drags a trash bag from his home out to the garbage barrel. Once the trash is deposited he is awarded with an Arctic Circle milkshake. Essentially the slogan is “Reward yourself even for small accomplishments.”

What does this mean for Utah Internet Advertising?

For your Utah Internet advertising campaign, you might not choose to invest in the trendy right to self indulgence campaigns. However, it is important to notice what people need and what people respond to in advertisements.

Whatever you choose to focus your Utah Internet advertising campaign on, make sure to do your advertising research first!

As fancy as the term “blog” sounds, it’s actually just a website that uses a content management system. While most blog software is more search engine friendly out of the box than many web sites, the opportunities for blog optimization are readily available.

Here are 10 tricks that will increase your visibility in search engines and eventually drive more traffic to your blog.

1) Use keywords in your blog post titles – This is a given for SEO. Most blogging software uses the post title as the url so take advantage of it.

Example: “10 SEO Tricks to Attract More Traffic to your Blog – Search Engine Journal”
Search Engine Journal is included on every blog post title tag automatically.

2) Optimize your blog categories – When you create categories for your blog, be sure to use keywords in the titles. When you post, be sure to default to a general category that is relevant no matter what the post is about. Choose multiple categories on each post when appropriate. This will create a “SEO-friendly” url for each post you make.

3) Syndicate your blog – Make it easy for people to subscribe to your blog. Sign-up with a free service like Feedburner and then create a “syndication” area on your site.

4) Offer RSS to email. Anywhere from 10% to 40% of your blog traffic can come from individuals that perfer to read blog posts via email. RSS readers and aggregators can be confusing. Adding email services to your blog isn’t. There are several free services available for this including: FeedBlitz, Squeet, and Zookoda.

5) Ping blog search engines – This can be configured with blog software such as Movable Type or WordPress to work automatically. If you’re using Blogger.com, then you can do this manually with Pingomatic.com or Pingoat.com.

6) Make comments on other blogs. Your name will be linked to the blog url that you enter. Don’t make comments that offer no value to the blog post. Don’t use keywords in the field for your name, use your name or blog name.

7) Submit your blog directories. Also submit the blog to regular directories such as (DMOZ, JoeAnt, GoGuides, Google Blog Search, etc) that have categories for blogs.

Targeted advertising – Now this doesn’t really drive traffic to your site but will make you money. It’s possible by using Google AdSense to display highly targeted ads on your blog. Once you’ve setup an account and placed the ads on your site, just sit back and watch the cash come in. Cha-ching.

9) Snatch up hot keywords – Now before you place ads on your blog, be sure your keyword density is good for the right terms. A great tool to improve your traffic for high-paying keywords is to use a product called Keyword Elite (http://www.seojuice.com).

10) Use track backs – If there is a blog that you refer to or quote and it is highly relevant to your subject, leave a track back. It increases your link popularity and may even score a few interested readers from the linked site. A TrackBack is a mechanism used in a blog to show, around an entry, a list of other blogs that refer to it.

Summary
The important thing to remember is that no matter how many optimization tactics you employ with a blog, there is no substitute for quality content. Blog optimization is only as effective as the quality and usefulness of the content you’re optimizing. So do not limit yourself to tips and lists. Use your imagination and you will come up with thousands of ways to drive traffic to your blog!

This is a method of making money online through blogging. You need to do a few things in order to lay a foundation for establishing a money making blog. The first method you can look into is the flagship method. This is where attention is given to a few blogs with an aim of popularizing them for them to generate maximum traffic. The main aim being to make these blogs as popular as possible in their niche. Blogs of this type do have large audiences. In this type of blogs direct sales advertising is one of the options of making money through such a blog. Such a blog is for people who have the capacity in terms of networking skills and also they understand everything about the market. These kinds of blogs are advantageous in that they are famous and due to the fact that they are big they market and promote themselves once they have attained a certain level of growth. On the other hand you should expect to use a lot time on these blogs looking for content and searching for marketing ideas.

The other method you can use to make money blogging is the one popularly known as the pay per post method.Using pay per post method you will use your domains or you can still use the available free blog hosts like blogger to establish multiple niche blogs and build their Google page rank and also their link profile through their maintenance and writing quality content. From here you can do submission of blog posts to blog websites like Blogsvertise, blogotive and pay per post among others and henceforth you can move on to writing of sponsored posts. The best one to use here is the pay per post because it contains the most paid offers. One of the reasons why people may prefer such a blog is because not many people are required to visit your blog for you to make money. Even a small number of people are enough for you to make a substantial amount of money. On the other hand these blogs are time consuming in their initial stages as much of your time will be needed to write multiple blog posts and also in maintaining these posts though such work will gradually be reduced after the optimization of those blogs and after they have been in operation for some time.

The other method of blogging is the automated blogging where you have your blogs set such that they will automatically receive content from different news sources and search engines for use in your website. These blogs do not demand a lot because no maintenance is needed in these blogs as they do not require your direct involvement for example in writing of content. Such blogs have a lesser chance of making profit unless you have a very good understanding of how they work.

You created a blog now what?

If you want to make money with your blog you’re going to need traffic.

Traffic is the life of your blog. Visitors will visit your blog day after day, sometimes even multiple times throughout the day.

With millions of blogs online, the greatest challenge is generating traffic – getting those blog visitors to find your valuable and insightful content in the first place.

Even if you have the greatest blog on the planet with the latest information available for your readers to discover, they are not going to find your blog on the blogosphere unless you take specific steps in letting those visitors know that your blog exist.

There are a number of ways to quickly and easily generate a lot of traffic to your blog, but all traffic is not created equal – some traffic is free and some costs money.

A thorough traffic-generating campaign will ensure that the first visitors will see your blog and spend sometime there. But remember your content will keep them coming back again and again.

So, now let’s take a look at some of the easy and fast ways to jump start your blog and start making money with blog.

1.Submit your blog to search engines.
– MSN

Submitting your blog’s URL to MSN’s is very simple.

All you have to do is go to MSN submission page type in the form the characters that you see in the picture – this helps to ensure that a person is submitting the URL and not the automated program. Then type in your URL of your blog in the form below and click submit. MSNBot follows links from your blog to find other pages on your site. It’s that easy.
– Yahoo

When you get to Yahoo submit your site page you’ll see various submission options. For the purpose of jump starting your blog to start making money with it you only need to submit your blog’s URL to Yahoo Search for free (first link on the page).

In order to submit your blog to Yahoo all you have to do is go to Yahoo’s site submission page and click the ‘submit your site for free’ link. When you click the link it will take you to the yahoo account page where you have to enter your Yahoo ID and password. If you don’t have an account with Yahoo just create one, its free.

After your enter your Yahoo ID and password you come to the page where you can submit your blog’s URL and your blog’s RSS Feed. After you submit the URL and the RSS Feed you’ll see a confirmation messages letting you know that the URL has been added to Yahoo list of URL to crawl. You’re done here.
– Google

Submitting URL to Google couldn’t't be easier.
All you have to do is visit Google’s submission page and let Google bot know that you blog is ready to be crawled.

Enter your full blog’s URL including http:// prefix. You may also add comments or keywords that describe the content of your blog. These are used only for Google information and don’t affect how your blog is indexed or used by Google.

For more in depth submission process check out the resource box below.

2. Another great method that I have found that gets spiders quickly come to my new blog is to create 5 posts and pre-date them for the period of 1 month going back.

Let me show you how easy this is.

If you have a new blog you can predate your posts.

To predate your posts remove all pinging services located in the ‘options’ writing category in your WordPress admin area.

In each post use your blog’s main keyword in the title and the body of the post. Also add the main keyword separately on the line on the bottom of each post.

If your blog is new write first post and edit the timestamp back but not longer than one month. If your blog is on the domain that you have had for awhile you can predate posts for longer than a month.

The last post you make have it dated for today and before you make a post put all the pinging services to be contacted. Then publish your new post.

That’s all it is to it. This method allows you to notify pinging services that your blog has been updated and already has content created on it.

3. Submit your blog to blog directories

Blog directories organize and categorize the thousands of blogs listed in its database so readers can find your blog more easily.

Blog directories are generally free to add your blog to. Some blog directories require you to insert a small banner on your blog.

To get listed in a blog directories, visit them and submit your blog, accurately describing your blog. Make sure that you have an appealing benefit-oriented description about your blog that will entice visitors to come and read your blog and you make money with your blog as the result.

Check blog directories requirements for banners and be sure to add the link they generate for you – this will ensure you get credit if another blogger joins from your page.

Here’re a few of the more popular blog directories:
– Blogarama – Blogwise – Blog Catalog – GetBlogs – Globe of Blogs – LS Blogs

4. Next step you need to take in order to jump start your blog and start making money with your blog is to submit your blog to free web directories.

Web directory is a directory on the Internet. It contains links of multiple category websites, which makes searching more efficient and effective to its visitors looking for specific websites.

Also submitting your blog to web directories is a great way to get links to your blog for free. Top web directories have PR ranks of 5 and higher and your blog benefits greatly from having a link to your site from such a high PR ranked site.

To submit to web directories all you have to do is visit the web directory website, choose the category best described your blog and click the add a site link. Follow the instructions of the page. Web directories have various instructions for submitting the site so make sure you read them before hand.

Here’s the list of the top 7 web directories with high PRs.
– DMOZ – Librarian’s Internet Index (LII) – ExactSeek – SoMuch – AbiLogic – Pedster’s Planet – The SEO King – MPS – Most Popular Sites – LinkCentre – Jayde

5. And the last but not least way to jump start your blog and start making money with your blog is to advertise your blog on Pay-Per-Click search engines.

Using PPC advertising method is a really fast way to get traffic to your. You pay PPC search engines to list your blog in the paid listings section on their page and pages of their network partners.

Here’re some of the benefits of using paid listing for your blog:
– Paid listings allow your ads for your blog to appear instantly on the search engine result page. (When using Google AdWords program your ad will show up sometimes 20 minutes later after you submitted your listing to them for approval. Overture, MSN, Miva and others take anywhere between 2 to 10 days to get approved and showed on their search engine pages.
– Paid listings place your ad in prominent areas on the search engine page giving your ad a great exposure to potential prospects.
– Paid listings allow you to choose the keywords under which you want your ad to to show.
– Paid listings let you control how much you pay per click to your blog. (Word of caution here. Keep a close eye on the numbers when you just set up a campaign and make sure that your blog starts making money with traffic that you receive from paid listings otherwise you’ll be losing money pretty quick).

Here’s the list of the most popular and mostly used PPC programs. – Google – Yahoo (formerly Overture) – MSN Ad Center – GoClick – Miva – 7Search – Kanoodle – Mamma

Ok, that’s all for this article. I hope you learned something new and useful for you to start making some money with your blog.

Finding information about past, current, and future car offerings used to be a task that involved wading through countless glossy magazines, perusing bulky sales brochures, shifting through inky newspapers, and skimming through a host of other print material of varying sizes and depths. How many of us have subscribed to 2, 4, or even 5 or more publications just to get the latest information about our favorite cars? Today, thanks to the internet, there are a host of sites available to learn more about your classic and to take a look at concept cars. I will list some of my favorites here; I hope that you will enjoy scrutinizing them as much as I have.

The Detroit News – I doubt that there is a single newspaper in the USA that matches the depth and breadth of coverage that The Detroit News provides on a daily basis about the automobile industry. It certainly makes sense that they are the leader, given that the Detroit area has long been the bastion of American automotive might. Visit www.detnews.com for more information.

Car and Driver – One of my favorite print magazines shares a lot of useful information right online. My favorite feature is their break down by make and model of every single car on the market. C&D even gives visitors full access to some really great road tests they have performed on a whole host of vehicles. Very informative: www.caranddriver.com

Auto Blog – Some of the best and most honest information can be read through this particular blog site. Vehicles of every stripe and persuasion are covered; breaking make/model information is shared, and readers are quick to add their personal comments. Sometimes the responses are hilarious, while other times they seem politically charged. No matter, the information given is certainly useful: www.autoblog.com

Edmunds – Good information on current models and they seem to have a grasp on upcoming offerings too. Compare what they write about future models and they generally have the best “off the record” information of anyone: www.edmunds.com

Car Survey – Similar to the Auto Blog, Car Survey allows users to blog in information about their vehicle. If you own a ’74 Monte Carlo, an ’83 Fairmount, or a ’95 Intrepid, then comments about your make/model are featured by owners who have the same car as you. A good place to trace the history of specific models, foreign and domestic too: www.carsurvey.com

Assorted Sites – Lastly, several smaller sites dedicated to specific car brands such as www.allpars.com can be extremely helpful as well as are certain commercial sites touting car parts. I also regularly refer to various car clubs and automaker sites for detailed information. So, what is the best part of conducting research on the internet for car information? Well, two actually: it is both fast and it is usually free.

Now, Google your way over and find out all the information you need about your cabriolet, your pocket rocket, your off-roader, or your minivan. Everything you need is right at your finger tips and certain to pique your interest.

Blogging to the Bank 2010 Review by Tyler Thomas

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record their thoughts and lives, while a select few use them as a free way to make a fortune.
One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 2010 system comes into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is, like me, you’ve probably made a killing using blogs.

For those who don’t, here’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where blogging to the bank 2010 comes into play.

It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make easy money online.

I got my copy and so did my friends, now its your turn.

One of the uncommon search engine optimization (SEO) tactics is the maintenance of a Google sitemap for a particular website.  A Google sitemap is an XML file that outlines the pages and subpages of your website so that Google’s own search engine spiders will have an easier time in indexing your pages and tracking changes and updates implemented therein.  Many SEO veterans claim that the inclusion of a Google sitemap has spelled the difference in their websites’ positions in relevant search engine queries.

In the highly competitive world of search engine marketing (SEM), every action – no matter how seemingly small – counts a lot, after all.

This is true for blogs, as well.

WordPress blog owners have to contend with the fact, however, that such blogging platform does not generate a Google-compliant sitemap. 

Thankfully, the Google Sitemap WordPress plugin has been released to, well, “plug” such a deficiency.

By installing the Google Sitemap plugin, you will be able to make your blog more competitive in fighting for a top slot in relevant search engine results.  80% of the traffic you will be able to generate for your pages will come from the search engines, after all.  Every move you’ll make for your blog matters.

The Google Sitemap WordPress plugin will automatically generate Google-compliant sitemaps for your blog.  Additionally, the Google Sitemap WordPress plugin also generates sitemaps that Yahoo, Ask and MSN can read.

The plugin also automatically calculates the priority of each blog entry, based on the number of comments posted therein.  This prioritization system can be overridden, however, via a menu where the user can input the parameters he wants the sitemap to follow.

The Google Sitemap WordPress plugin generates XML files in many languages, which is perfect for the regional indexing that Google has introduced in recent years.

Also of notable importance is the fact that the Google Sitemap WordPress plugin pings search engines that can read the sitemap it generates every time a change therein is made.  No need to manually resort to an external pinging tool.  This plugin takes care of such a task.

Installing the Google Sitemap plugin is as easy as installing other plugins.  Simply unzip the components of the file to your wp-content/plugins directory.  Thereafter, go to your WordPress administration page and install the plugin via your plugin menu.  Access the plugin and click on “rebuild sitemap” to generate your sitemap for the very first time.  Make manual changes if necessary.

One of the main reasons why blogs have quickly become the main marketing weapons of many online businessmen is the fact that they can easily win the favor of search engines.  Blogs fare better than ordinary websites when it comes to placing in top results of search engine queries.

By using the Google Sitemap WordPress plugin, you will be able to make blogs even more powerful tools in your quest for the number one position for the keyword/s you’re targeting.

Six steps you can take to keep cut-rate competitors from stealing your customers

In the last article, we covered the top mistakes sales people make that can keep them from closing more business. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at an all-too common problem: what you can do to close an existing customer when your competition keeps lowering their price.

All sales reps face competition. And nothing is more frustrating than having your competition offer to sell to your existing client base at dramatically reduced prices.

Consider the following scenario: Your biggest client calls to tell you that they’ve been offered a cut-rate price on the very same products you’ve been selling to them for years. They like doing business with you, but with the pressure on to save money and increase profits, this new lower price is just too attractive to pass up. No matter how much you preach value to the customer, they continue to come back with the lower price and tell you they are working from a strict budget.

To make matters worse, your competition is also trying to offset the lower price with a longer contract, which will hurt your chances of ever getting the client back if you lose their business now. You know this is a risky move for your competition, and that they will probably lose money on the deal.

What can you do to close this business without taking a huge bath on your profits?

Step One: Focus on testimonials.

Testimonials are the most powerful weapon sales people have to prove their value to their customers.

Clients tend to believe other clients more than they believe you. So find customers who already switched for a lower price and then came back to you because their experience with the competitor was less than satisfying. Or find clients who were considering moving their business, only to change their mind when they realized that the long-term implications were less than positive.

These client stories will add firepower to your case and help you convince your customer that doing business with you truly is a better and more profitable solution in the long run.

As a side note: you should be collecting testimonials from every client you do business with regardless of how well your business is currently doing. Testimonials are your most profitable selling tool, and you can never have too many.

Step Two: Learn from history.

As your team’s manager, show your sales people that prospects who only buy on price are not the best customers for your business because, in the long term, they are not profitable customers.

If your sales team is confident in selling based on the quality of your service, they will seek out prospects who value quality over those who only care about price. Your team may have to be willing to endure the short-term pain of letting a customer go, in order to make long-term gains with other, more profitable clients.

Step Three: Reward loyalty.

Show your long-term customers how much you value their loyalty by creating an account management process that rewards them for keeping their business with you.

Most companies make the mistake of only offering discounts and bonuses to new customers. Instead of devising a scheme to reward new business, create a program that rewards loyalty. For example, perhaps your customers can receive a lower price after 2 years of continuous ordering. Or maybe longer-term customers can be the first to receive special new products or access training at reduced prices (or maybe even free).

Take a look at your current client acquisition plan, and make sure it’s not “sweeter” to become a new customer than it is to stay an existing customer. After all, long-term customers are far more profitable than new customers. Some studies show that acquiring a new customer costs as much as 15 times more than it does to sell more to existing customers.

Ask yourself: can you increase your profits by spending some of the money you currently allocate for landing new customers, towards keeping your existing clients instead?

Step Four: Give yourself some breathing room.

Make sure you’re never in the position of having to save an account at any cost, simply because it’s the ONLY account you can close this month. If you don’t have other options, you will feel enormous pressure to close business at any price.

What can you do to avoid this scenario? Always be prospecting. The best sales people manage a full funnel of leads (at least 3-4 times your quota of active qualified leads) at all times. This gives them the freedom to be able to walk away from an unprofitable deal, and focus their attention on a profitable one instead.

Step Five: Do your research.

A company’s website is a great place to do a little pre-sales call research. However, most companies only put what they want you to see on their sites.

If you’re trying to save a deal, you might want to dig a little deeper to find out more about your client’s past, present and future, what their customers think of them – and their reputation in the industry.

Start by using Google or any of the other countless search engines out there. You may be surprised how many blogs, message boards or other websites you’ll find that may provide you with some deeper insights you can use to ask your clients about the price issue. Just be sure to consider the source. After all, most message boards are unfiltered, and you can’t trust everything you read online!

Step Six: Don’t add value if your customer won’t value it.

Last but not least, don’t randomly add value unless you know for a fact that your customer will appreciate it.

Sales people often make the mistake of piling on extras that the client may not want or need. The result is that it will cost you more to give the customer something they couldn’t care less about in the first place – a perfect lose-lose proposition.

When I ask many of the sales people I coach why they do this, they usually tell me it’s because they “think the customer will like this.” Thinking the customer will like something is the same as assuming they will like it. You only need to think back to grade school to remember what happens when we assume.

Value, like beauty, is in the eye of the buyer. Ask questions to find out what, besides price, would keep the customer from giving their business to someone else. Then set to work to provide them with as many of those concessions as you can.

If the client doesn’t want any extras, then you can’t use the value vs. price argument to win this business. Quit trying and go on to something else.

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, pricing pressure is a constant menace. If you want to be successful, you need to make sure the deals you are closing are profitable ones. Although your first goal should be to keep your existing customers, be careful of offering so much that the client actually ends up costing you money. If your client base is too price sensitive, go out and find new clients that want the value you have to offer – not just the lowest price.

It’s not easy, but it is simple to do if you have conviction. The first step to finding better clients – ones that focus on value and not price – is making sure you are 100% confident that you are delivering such a high value to the marketplace, that all buyers will want to own it at full cost.

There are heaps of alternatives for individuals working from home and one of them, obtaining and selling vehicles is a wonderful way to earn money and with appropriate assistance from wanted ads exhibited on classified sites, you can ultimately make lucrative amounts of cash.

Generating sales from trading used vehicles has historically been connected with car vendors. A number of us, in spite of our positive sentiments towards this sector, plainly do not have the resources to get or rent the parking area and office to built a authentic and profitable used automobile dealership and support the staff, promotional funds to take care of this kind of a business. But lower vehicle rates and the large number of free online automotive classifieds means you can in reality make a living off used vehicles based out of your home, even if it entails operating on a smaller scale.

Salaried families relentlessly searching for a special type of automobile name and model are the ones who are prepared to give a premium on their purchases, car buyers who are enthusiastic about cars. So where do you come across these people? Online classifieds. Classifieds can be wide-ranging catering to numerous categories including used vehicles or can be devoted simply to automobiles. Search for ‘vehicles required’ advertisements in both kinds of classifieds sites utilizing the Alexa toolbar is a good technique to make your search more useful and distinguish which sites in your search results rank high on normal regular traffic. You will be shocked to find out that sites on the second and third page of your search results very often have superior rankings and so, are of better use to us.

Once you have selected the sites start looking at the ‘required’ advertisements and determine which of the vehicles are in demand and rare, but not impossible to locate. You ought to be able to obtain at least a handful of vehicles and models being pursued by more than one individual. When you’re finished at this end commence looking for used vehicles for sale and try and attain a fit. Speak to dealers and also execute a broad search for the automobile in Google. You can also ask the car manufacturer for help.

After you have performed this frequently enough you’ll observe that your contacts have expanded and it will become simpler and faster for you to search for rare cars. Your contacts should include car dealers, rare car dealers, car manufacturers and other people that share your keenness for vehicles.

Another wonderful place for you to obtain contacts is social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.. These sites have groups devoted to all sorts of vehicles and they are considerably simple to enroll in. You frequently stumble on advertisements for rare vehicles on sale in these group forums. Be an keen player and get to know people who share your hobbies. Once you’ve made an adequate amount of links on separate networks you can also initiate your own group. Do not forget to make it dynamic, attractive and advertise issues, links and photographs on a regular basis. You can even add opinion polls and RSS feeds to your most cherished autoblogs.

Once you’ve located a handful of cars that correlate to the ‘required’ advertisements criteria begin phoning the concerned car buyers. Make sure to pay attention on vehicles that are required by approximately five to six people. In this way you guard yourself in two ways. Firstly, if one of the people has found the automobile on his own you still have three to four extra car buyers to advertise your product. Second, you are more likely to obtain the rate you choose if you pitch to a wider number of purchasers. Do not forget that you are trading a requested item and you can charge a lucrative profit.

Once you get used to this method you will realize that buying and selling a substantial number of vehicles a week will enable you to generate a significant amount of cash in comparatively less time. You can also make this a weekends only or after work business, bit by bit extending your base and understanding. Who knows, you just might someday save ample cash to grow into a authentic vendor and earn a living off used vehicles for sale. Wouldn’t that be remarkable!

There is a lot of buzz about blogging software in the news these days, as well as stories about steroids. What do they have to do with one another? We will see in a moment!
Blogs come in three basic types, though there are no rules or standards to follow, just general categories.
Types of blogs
1.Cat blogs
2.Community blogs
3.Business blogs
A cat blog describes the type of blog you might have just because you want to have one. It could be about cats, travel, your family, or anything else that is of interest to you personally. Cat blogs are not intended to make any money, they are like an advanced personal journal.
Community blogs are there to communicate to groups such as teams, schools or businesses. Announcements, schedules or plans can be given to everyone at the same time, which is a lot better than a phone tree! People can check in at work, or from school, or at home at their own convenience.
Business blogs are those that are intended to make money. Often business blogs are used in conjunction with a regular web site as a way of providing fresh, up to date information relevant to the business.
Business blogs can also be a sort of hybrid of a traditional web site and a new media blog. This means that the better blogging software has features that enable the blogger to add advertisements, affiliate links, images, navigation tabs, videos, audio recordings, podcasts, and just about anything else you can imagine.
This is the part about steroids
Imagine if you could have a business blog that was like an athlete on steroids, without the bad side effects! You would be miles ahead of your competition and hopefully more profitable with less effort.
There are numerous steroids you can put your blog on without getting into any black hat trouble. Black hat means underhanded, sneaky methods of trying to trick the search engines into liking your site or blog. It is a futile game of cat and mouse and should be avoided.
Some of the ways you can put your blog on steroids is by efficient search engine optimization of your posts ( just as with a web site), using podcasts, video and encouraging reader participation through comments. The comments are a great way to gather in-bound links from many sources, which will help your blog to gain page rank.
Here is the best part
What if you could automatically send your posts to many reputable blogs and web sites with the click of your mouse? That would get your post out there instantly, people could add it to their RSS feed and add it to their favorite list or send it to their friends.
Imagine how quickly word of your great content would spread through the community of like-minded readers. People who are interested in what you offer would be much more easily connected and very quickly.
My own business blog has provided me with a massive amount of information relative to my interests. I can see what people are interested in, what they read, how long they read it, where they came from and all kinds of useful data. This blog is a good example of how quickly you can get good page ranking and be indexed by Google.
The problem with feeding all those social networks takes a lot of time because you must manually submit each post to every single network. Somebody figured out a way to do this automatically and ethically, and the search engines just love it! Maybe everybody already knows about how this works, but none of my colleagues seem to have any idea.
I have no idea how the blogging software works, but I do know that it works! When I make a post I get a report of where it has been sent. If I check in at Technorati, for example, I can see instantly what is going on with my post.
This seemingly small ability of the blogging software is just like putting a blog on steroids because the performance is dramatically enhanced. Of course, you need to have good content and integrity in your intentions in order to succeed in your online business.
There is no magic bullet or hidden secrets, just a lot of honest, hard work to provide a useful service that meets the needs of people.
As you build your community, the effects just continue to grow and one thing leads to the next. It is well worth your time to investigate this blogging software to put your business on steroids.
Have you ever wondered, How do I start blogging?

The internet is full of marketing systems claiming to put your business building on autopilot. Sadly, most of them don’t offer the high level of functionality you will need to build a substantial and informed organization. Sign up for a few free trials and you will often be backended with pitches to join affiliate programs, buy leads, invest in additional autoresponder setups, or purchase traffic.

Here’s the rub. All these automated marketing systems with slick flash presentations, attractive compensation plans, and so forth generally lack a solid set of tools to drive high-quality, targeted traffic to your site. The site may do the “selling” for you, it may be the hottest thing around. When you find yourself going up against other marketers promoting the same thing with Pay-Per-Click campaigns, your rate of return on your marketing dollar will plummet as the market for the product gets saturated and more people promote it with paid advertising.

A recent case in point is a costly automated marketing system which has a call team to follow up and close sales. I spoke with a few people who were selling this automated system and making money with it. One woman told me that she had to get about 700 hits to make a sale. Its important to know that this lady is an extremely savvy and experienced marketer with a lot of blogs and credibility. Many of the hits to her automated marketing system were driven through friendly informational sites, not paid advertising. This marketer was no doubt making money promoting this marketing system primarily because she already knew how to market it when she signed up.

Do I hear the sound of a catch?

In fact I do. I researched the automated system being promoted and found that 73% of the people who had purchased it were not yet qualified to even make money. I observed that many marketers are brazenly promoting it with PPC, with more jumping in all the time. More people promoting makes for higher marketing cost and a lower rate-of-return on your advertising dollar. I concluded that at present, this particular system is one where only sophisticated, experienced marketers will succeed. The promises of easy wealth without work or skill seem unfounded.

On the net today many people are looking for that magic product that will make them money without skill development, talking to people, spending on advertising, etc. Is it any wonder that scams abound? Are there systems that can drive targeted traffic to a flash presentation and make passive sales? Yes, but building that kind of traffic base takes a commitment to learning and practicing marketing skills.

A few people will always succeed by jumping into the newest programs, but many more will be victims. These victims are created because many of these automated marketing systems prey on human weakness.

The solution: education. Successful internet marketers are not born that way. Marketing like any other skill is learned through experience and diligence. Seek out a marketing system which provides ongoing support and training workshops. Because the internet is constantly in flux, ongoing training is the only realistic way to keep up with the latest marketing trends.

A sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL (when it was last updated, how often it usually changes, and how important it is, relative to other URLs in the site) so that search engines can more intelligently crawl the site.

This is a method of making money online   through blogging .You need to do a few things in order to lay a foundation for establishing a money making blog. The first method you can look into is the flagship method .This is where attention is given to a few blogs with an aim of popularizing them for them to generate maximum traffic. The main aim being to make these blogs as popular as possible in their niche. Blogs of this type do have large audiences. In this type of blogs direct sales advertising is one of the options of making money through such a blog. Such a blog is for people who have the capability in terms of networking skills and also they know about the market. These kinds of blogs are advantageous in that they are famous and due to the fact that they are big they market and promote themselves once they have attained a certain level of growth. On the other hand you should expect to use a lot time on these blogs looking for content and searching for marketing ideas.

The other method you can use to make money blogging is the one popularly known as  the pay per post methond.Using  pay per post method you  will use your domains or you can still use  the  available free blog hosts like blogger  to establish multiple niche blogs and build their  Google page rank  and also their  link profile  through their maintenance and  writing  quality content. From here you can do submission of blog posts to blog websites like  Blogsvertise,blogotive  and pay per post among others and henceforth you can move on to  writing of  sponsored  posts. The best one to use here is the pay per post because it contains the most paid offers. One of the reasons why people may prefer such a blog  is because not many people are required  to visit your blog for you to make money. Even a small number of people are enough for you to make a substantial amount of money. On the other hand  these blogs are time consuming in their initial stages as much of your time will be needed in writing multiple blog posts and also in maintaining these posts though such work will gradually be reduced after the optimization of  those blogs  and after they have been in operation for some time.

The other method of blogging is the automated blogging method where you have your blogs set such that they will automatically receive content from different news sources and search engines for use in your website. These blogs do not demand a lot because no maintenance is needed in these blogs as they don’t require your direct involvement for example in writing of content. Such blogs have a lesser chance of making profit unless you have a very good understanding of how they work and how they manage to attract traffic.

Mike Koenigs CEO of Traffic Geyser is launching probably his best info product yet called: Main Street Marketing Machine. This will be a supersized version of their Firepower program launched in 2009.

The goal of this product is to target 2 main issues nowadays:
1. The increasing amount of online marketers trying to make a legitimate income online
2. An overlooked but incredibly big market needing online marketing services: the small local business.

Koenigs saw a huge opportunity meeting the needs of these 2 niches creating a new step by step paint by numbers type of opportunity in a box solution.

How does traffic geyser’s new product correct these problems?

If you have been online longer than 2 weeks you will understand that the key obstacles that regular people face trying to make money online are: lack of direction, a large amount of competition or many things to understand and setup before you start seeing any money.

Main Street Marketing Machine addresses this since the user of this info product, (online marketers), do not need a product, list, website, join-venture partners, business or marketing experience.

On the other hand it is targeting a niche that has a huge demand but little competition. Only 1 of every 38 online marketers is marketing small local businesses.

On top of that, this product deals with another large problem that we are living in this economy, the small local business have been suffering and struggling to survive. Even though they realize that internet is the future, most of them are losing tons of money due to the lack of online presence.

Traffic Geyser’s new concept not only shows online marketers how to build an online presence for small local business, get them ranked in the first page of google, listed in local directories, etc. but also gives you a step by step training on how to get clients, how to educate them and how even to outsource it all.

Now the main difference between Mike Koenigs’ program and anything else is that it doesn’t only focus on the know-how, but also and most importantly gives you all you need to automate the whole process: the tools, templates, software, etc. including a revolutionary feature the opportunity finder.

The opportunity finder will show you to find prospects, the competition these prospects have, their contact information and most of all, it even gives you the FAQ that people have about those niches.

This amazing resource alone will save you lots of time and effort allowing you to focus your time on what makes you money.

The feature I like the most that sets the Main Street Marketing Machine apart is that they include marketing strategies on how to apply all these resources: how to start, what to charge, the campaigns you can use, what and how to offer it.

This without mentioning an incredible support: constant webinars, Q&A sessions, to help members to actually apply these strategies in the real world.

If you are new in online marketing or you haven’t found success yet, this program is highly recommended.

A lot of small business owners are jumping on the blogging bandwagon and there is a very good reason for this. A blog is a very effective tool for your small business, if used correctly. You’re probably wondering if a blog can really help your business or if it is just another fad. There are several reasons business owners are blogging about their business. Blogging helps not only their bottom line, but also their customer relations. Below are the top 5 ways a blog can help your business:

1.  Helps potential customers and the media find you- Search engines love blogs! If you post to your blog with search engines in mind, potential customers and the media will find you and your content rich information much easier. But be aware that just because you set up a blog and post a few times does not mean the search engines will find your blog right away. It does take a little bit of time to grow your business blog. Just keep posting content related to your expertise and the press, clients, and search engines will come.

2.  Establishes your role as an expert in the field- A blog is a great tool to set yourself apart from the competition as establishing yourself as the expert in your industry. By sharing your opinions on industry news or topics your customers are interesting will automatically generate public speaking invitations and a general perception of your clients as “the expert”. For consultants and coaches being viewed as “the expert” is essential. This allows you to raise your rates and never have to worry about where your next client will come from.

3.  Creates a dialogue between you and your customers- A blog is different from a website, because it creates a dialogue between you and your blog visitor. As long as you allow comments on your blog, which I highly suggest you do, your blog sets up a unique dialogue between you and your customers. Wondering if your next product or service will be a success, just look to your blog for the answer. If you’re already blogging, but haven’t received comments yet try asking questions at the end of your blog posts to get the conversation going.

4.  Another format to constantly reach your customers- With spam filtering and junk mail settings, sometimes your emails never make it to your customers. But with a blog and a RSS feed, a geeky term for how your blog is delivered, your customers can receive your blog content automatically. It’s best to reach your customers in multiple formats whether it’s mail, email, blogging, or public speaking. Blogging just adds another tool to your follow-up methods.

5.  Free advertising- Who doesn’t want free advertising for their small business? A blog is a great way to advertise your services and products without spending a dime. But be careful not to hit them over the head with a hard sales message. It’s best to just give great content and mention a few of your services or products within the posts.

There are a variety of alternatives for individuals working from home and one of them, acquiring and selling vehicles is a good way to earn money and with appropriate assistance from wanted ads exhibited on classified sites, you can inevitably make significant amounts of cash.

Generating sales from trading used vehicles has historically been connected with car vendors. A number of us, in spite of our devotion towards this sector, plainly cannot sustain the cost of having to obtain or rent the parking area and premises to established a real and profitable used automobile dealership and support the salesman, promotional funds to continue this sort of a business. But diminishing automobile rates and the significant number of free online automobile classifieds means you can essentially make a living off used vehicles based out of your home, even if it entails starting on a smaller scale.

Working people earnestly searching for a specific type of automobile producer and model are the ones who are prepared to give a premium on their purchases, drivers who are enthusiastic about cars. So where do you get hold of these people? Online classifieds. Classifieds can be broad catering to a significant number of categories including used vehicles or can be devoted just to automobiles. Search for ‘vehicles required’ advertisements in both kinds of classifieds sites utilizing the Alexa toolbar is a good technique to make your search more meaningful and identify which sites in your search results rank high on usual regular traffic. You will be alarmed to hear that sites on the second and third page of your search results frequently have higher rankings and so, are of better use to us.

Once you have pinpointed the sites start looking at the ‘required’ advertisements and verify which of the models are in demand and rare, but not impossible to locate. You ought to be able to come up with at least a handful of vehicles and models being pursued by more than one individual. When you’re finished at this end commence looking for used vehicles for sale and try and acquire a fit. Speak to dealers and also execute a broad search for the automobile in Google. You can also ask the car manufacturer for help.

After you have performed this frequently enough you’ll observe that your contacts have expanded and it will become simpler and faster for you to identify rare cars. Your contacts should include car dealers, rare car dealers, car manufacturers and other people that share your excitement for vehicles.

Another magnificent place for you to get contacts is social networking sites like Facebook and Linkedin.. These sites have groups devoted to all sorts of makes and they are considerably simple to sign up with. You regularly come across advertisements for extraordinary vehicles on sale in these group forums. Be an energetic member and get to know people who share your hobbies. Once you’ve made sufficient links on distinctive networks you can also commence your own group. Make a concerted effort to make it effective, exciting and advertise themes, links and photographs frequently. You can even add opinion polls and RSS feeds to your most cherished autoblogs.

Once you’ve selected some cars that correlate to the ‘required’ advertisements criteria begin phoning the concerned car buyers. Make sure to pay attention on models that are required by about five to six people. In this way you safeguard yourself in two ways. Firstly, if one of the people has found the automobile on his own you still have three to four extra customers to push your product. Second, you are more likely to obtain the rate you choose if you pitch to a broader number of purchasers. Do not forget that you are trading a requested item and you can ask for a hefty profit.

Once you get used to this method you will appreciate that buying and selling a number of vehicles a week will enable you to generate a significant amount of cash in comparatively less time. You can also make this a weekends only or after work enterprise, gradually widening your base and experience. Who knows, you just might inevitably save sufficient cash to grow into a full-fledged vendor and earn a living off used vehicles for sale. Wouldn’t that be fantastic!

I\’ve been trading currencies for some years now and love to visit forex forums and blogs at least on weekends when there is no trading. I\’ve found out that one of the most popular subjects discussed there is how to find a perfect automated forex trading system. That quest is also called looking for the “Holy Grail”.

Why is that such important issue?

The answer is simple. Trading currencies can be very profitable, however, to achieve great results, you need a proper combination of resources (trading capital, time, and skills/knowledge) and you have to remove emotions (fear, greed, etc.) from your trading. The best way to do that is by using a right automated forex system.

What are the benefits of using an automated forex system, or in other words, how can it make your trading consistently profitable? Well, the right automated forex system will make your trading stress-free and will help you make the best use of your trading capital, will save you time and energy. And often money too…

Trading with automated forex software is almost like earning money on autopilot. You do your initial setup, e.g., regarding what currencies to trade, when to trade (time/day), what time frames to use and profit/loss settings (most important!) and after that all you have to do is to ensure that your computer stays on.

Three most important advantages of using automated forex systems are: 1/ removing emotional factor and human error from your trading; 2/ taking over management of your trading capital by using consistently (automatically) precise profit targets, stop losses, entries and exits; 3/ finding trading opportunities (trading signals) 24/7 for every currency pair and every time/day/time frame combination and for various styles of trading (news, swing, position, etc.).

With such important benefits of using automated forex systems, it\’s obvious why so many traders or potential traders are ready to pay significant amounts of money to get hold of such powerful tools. And, with such promising opportunities for profit, they are not concerned too much with drawbacks of using the automated forex systems.

But using automated forex trading systems does have some disadvantages, although they are not serious enough to discourage potential buyers.

For example, some of those autopilot systems don\’t work too well during news releases. Some experts comment that it\’s due to the fact that news trading is based on fundamentals, while the trading systems are based on technical analysis (indicators). That\’s true in most cases, but what also needs consideration is the fact that most of the brokers do spread adjustments around the time of the news announcements. It\’s not so easy for the systems to account for that, unless a system incorporates interdisciplinary theories, such as chaos theory, fractal geometry, etc.

The other drawback often mentioned is the fact that a system performed well in the past doesn\’t guarantee that it will do the same in the future. Well, it\’s true and no software developer can make any claim to the contrary. In fact, any sales letter has to disclose that forex trading has both large potential rewards and potential risks and that past performance of any trading is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Those disadvantages seem to be minor when compared to potential profits from trading currencies on autopilot. That\’s why automated forex trading systems are so popular.

The relationship between internet usage and car purchases have consistently increased over the last decade and have now become part of the car buying experience as consumers look for local car dealerships.

Auto manufacturers, dealerships and the auto industry in general have accepted this reality and incorporated the internet and related technology as part of their marketing and advertising efforts. Some of these business entities have embraced the power of the world wide web, while others are struggling to keep up with the constant upgrades, developments and latest trends. Becoming aware of internet behavior of auto buyers is important in developing and maintaining cost effective and money making marketing strategies.

Billions of dollars are spent on website development and maintenance, software, tools, gadgets, widgets, search engine optimization, social networking, on and on. This does not take into account time spent trying to figure out what works and more importantly, what does not work. Spend only a couple of hours online reading blogs and forums about online marketing and one quickly figures out that even the so called “experts” disagree and sometimes just can’t keep up themselves with the warp speed of technological developments, whims and algorithms of online corporate giants.

There is one way to tame the wild west of the online world and that is to become familiar with research findings regarding internet behavior of auto buyers. Being armed with this valuable knowledge will enable car related businesses such as auto dealers, insurance agents, lenders, and after market retailers to tailor not only their advertising budgets but time spent on understanding the multitude of marketing services. Here are some key findings and discussion about the data.

Research Findings

JD Power and Associates conducts annual surveys to measure online usage of auto buyers. In 2008, JD Power and Associates found that 75% of the public spend on the average close to seven hours on the internet when making a new vehicle purchase. They also found that consumers focused on three types of websites for information.

1. Third party auto websites were used for referrals and recommendations.

2. Auto manufacturing websites were used for product information.

3. Auto dealer websites were used to search for inventory. (source: theautochannelnews)

This same trend is also seen when it comes to used car purchases and other auto related servies such as insurance and loans.

Web Rides TV in 2008 conducted a survey of their users titled  “User Attitudes Toward Cars and Automotive Content” which found that consumers were most likely to turn to third party reviews over other information sources when it came to auto products. The findings showed that there was a decrease in using auto manufacturer websites as a primary source in one’s decision making (source: emdiawire).

Another interesting statistic is the amount of time the average consumer takes to make a vehicle purchase. According to a study by Kelly Blue Book, these figures range anywhere from six months or longer to less than a month. Embedded within this time frame are the different stages of decision making. In the same study, Kelly Blue Book found three groups of car buyers:

1. “Just looking” group consisted of consumers planning to make a purchase within a two to six month range

2. “Ready but undecided” group consisted of consumers planning to make a purchase within one month and

3. “Ready and decided” group consisted of consumers planning to make a purchase within one week

Kelly Blue Book concluded that “vehicle shoppers look to the third-party sites as a relevant and necessary source of objective information that spans across all makes and models. While consumers seek information and opinions, what they really come to the third-party sites for is confidence– that they are making a good choice, that they won’t have ‘buyers’ remorse’ after their purchase, that they won’t pay too much, that they are buying a safe vehicle, that they have weighed all their options” (source:imediaconnection).

Keynote Systems, a company that studies attitudes and behaviors on the internet, found that auto buyers prefered to conduct research about vehicle capabilities over price comparisons. In fact they found that price comparison ranked the lowest in online satisfaction. In addition, only 20% of participants in this particular study reported a willingness to request an online quote. Frustration over uncertainty about the end user of submitted information was a main concern of the 80% of respondents who declined an auto quote request (source: Keynote Systems).

Comscore, another company that measures consumer behavior and attitudes conducted the first study of blog readers back in 2005. While this study is now dated, we can assume that blog usage is even more influential today due to their growing popularity. One of their key findings were demographics of the average blog reader. Blog readers tended to have above average incomes, shopped online, and spend almost twice as much time online over regular internet users. “The fact that we found 30 percent of the online population to have visited blogs clearly underscores the commercial importance of consumer generated and driven media” (source: comscore.com).

Looking toward the future in trying to predict trends on the horizon, KRC Research and Microsoft conducted a study that focused on the “millennial generation.” The eldest of the millennials are now becoming established in their professions making them a sought after consumer. Who are these millennials? Consider these statistics:

“Millennials are born from 1982 to 2003. They are the largest generation in U.S. history; they are also the most ethnically diverse generation. Forty percent are African-American, Asian, Latino or mixed race. One in five has an immigrant parent. There’s a million more Millennials than boomers. Though no more Millennials are being born, some are immigrating, so the generation keeps getting bigger. Boomers are leaving us and Millennials are still gaining in size” (source: Mercury News).

This generation has already transformed our society. If you doubt their awesome power just ponder the immense popularity of social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter. The millennials do not know life without the cell phone, internet or MP3s. We can predict that their social behaviors will carry over to consumer behaviors. Microsoft found that this group of consumers want an interactive online shopping experience. This includes interaction through blogs, instant messaging, and social networks. While over 90% still want to visit a showroom in person, once there they expect an automated rather then in-person experience. Additionally, “large percentages of millennials were open to seek advice from third-party consumer website (65 percent), third-party consumer blogs (45 percent), friends or colleagues via social networking sites (61 percent), and friends and family (87 percent).” (source: CXO Today).

Discussion

In examining the above findings, we can see a few patterns emerge.  Whether due to the overwhelming presence of the internet in our daily lives or current economic conditions, the traditional print media is fading and may even become extinct in the not so distant future. An overwhelming percentage of consumers rely on a combination of online resources for information. This means that auto dealers who network with a variety of websites can expect positive returns since the data shows a trend toward third party websites such as All About Cars Online.

The data also suggests that instead of spending resources on third party sales leads, dealerships might focus on developing technology that captures sales leads from their own websites since consumers find third party quotes less then trustworthy and actually visit dealer websites to find inventory.

Another significant trend is the emergence of social networking through a variety of online tools. As more millennials come of age, this trend will quickly become a norm in the world of business and sales. One of the greatest advantages of social networking websites and blogs is that they are free and easy to start. However, this is also the downside for companies. Trying to keep up with maintaining blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Squidoo, Digg, Youtube, wikis, and one’s own website is overwhelming to say the least.

Marketing Strategies

With all of this in mind, it is clear that auto dealers must have an online strategy that takes into account internet behaviors of auto buyers. Through the analysis of the above influential studies, one can use the data to develop effective marketing strategies. Using Kelly Blue Book’s stages of decision making can also be helpful in targeting specific groups of consumers:

1. Just Looking – since this consumer has no immediate plans to make a purchase, this group will most likely not be interested in viewing the dealer’s website. They are however most likely seeking information and conducting research on makes, models, and options. Older consumers are more likely to want to read (blogs) and younger consumers are more like want to view (videos).

2. Ready But Not Decided – This consumer is actively seeking referrals and recommendations. They have their antenna up for reviews on makes and models and are asking questions. Older consumers are more likely to interact in forums (blogs) and younger consumers are more likely to twit (twitter, facebook). Both age groups are also seeking information from third party websites.

3. Ready and Decided – This consumer is ready to make a purchase. They are actively searching for dealerships that offer their chosen make and model. This group will go back to third party websites, online directories and search engines. Once they find a number of dealerships, consumers in this stage will then visit these dealers’ websites to view inventories. Car dealers should have a reliable system in capturing visitors and use live chat software to satisfy the need for instant messaging behaviors of the millennial generation.

Car dealers and other auto related businesses measure the effectiveness of advertising strategies through sales and leads. However one thing to keep in mind is that leads and sales only come once the consumer is in the third stage of decision making. By not investing in websites that capture the “Just Looking” and “Undecided” groups, one ends up with a shortsighted strategy. According to a study conducted by cars.com and Synovate in 2008, “”tracking email and phone leads alone gives dealers an incomplete picture of how their internet initiatives perform” and “one-third of car buyers cited independent websites as a significant influencer affecting their decision to visit a dealership.” The study also found that a third of these consumers do not contact dealers prior to visiting showrooms (source: cars.com).

Furthermore, investing and networking with third party websites also has a hidden advantage. Investing in a multitude of third party websites that publish links to dealer’s website will increase that dealer’s search engine rank. This becomes immensely valuable when the consumer is ready to make the purchase in stage three. The rule is to get as many different websites to link to dealer’s website. Even if the third party website may not necessarily be the perfect fit for targeted audience, links play an important role in search engine ranking.

Blogs definitely are also valuable because they serve as an important source for education and information. Posts are usually set up with forums allowing visitors to comment and ask questions. An ideal situation would be to create multi-blogs with different URL’s (different website locations and names) all linked to the dealer’s main website. This increases one’s presence on the internet, improving one’s ranking with search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing as well as increasing the odds that a consumer will find the dealership. Creating multiple blogs is a much more cost effective method compared to microsites. Microsites are generally used for the same purpose, come with contracts and have significantly higher fees that when compared to blogs seem unrealistic. Automotive consultants advise that “every dealership should have one or more blog focusing on current dealership happenings, service specials, seasonal car care tips, car buying tips, customer testimonals and highlighted inventory” (Paul Rushing).

Blogs and multi-blogs are a cost effective marketing strategy although very time consuming. Many entities start blogs but quickly abandon efforts because one has to make regular updates. Anywhere between 60% to 80% of blogs are abonded within one month of creation (source: Caslon Analytics). Software exists that automatically generates multiple blogs, but search engines recognize this as “splogs” which are frowned upon like spamming is in the world of e-mail. Multi-blogs have to be maintained by humans.

Analyzing internet behavior of auto buyers is imperative in today’s economy because this knowledge goes a long way in saving valuable advertising and marketing monies and increasing sales.

Last year I authored an article entitled, “Log home automation? Excuse me?”. (
http://www.logcabindirectory.com/articles/home_automation.htm) The article was picked up by scores of blogs and syndicated services and since then I’ve received tons of email asking questions about home automation and the company whose products I mentioned, X-10 (see: http://www.home-automation.us)

First, I will discuss the company; X-10 was a pioneer of online ‘in-your-face’ marketing. Anyone who was aware of X-10 in the early days of the Internet can remember the mind-numbing garish ads this company seemed to have pinned to every website in the universe. Heaven forbid if you opted in to any of their newsletter or advertising solicitations, as you would get blasted daily with offers and eleventh-hour deals.

That company, and the vast majority of regular Internet users learned the hard way how NOT to get involved with such marketing techniques. Companies who practiced these tactics eventually lost the support of their customers, and prospective clients learned to avoid these businesses. I don’t blame X-10 for their unconventional approach to marketing. When the Internet was first made available to business, no one knew what would work or what was needed to attract customers. That was the ‘Wild West” of online marketing. Good companies made some bad mistakes, but eventually most learned that good products promoted properly will yield positive results.

X-10 is a survivor of the “dot-com meltdown” and the early marketing blunders of online promotion. Today, they are a 30+ year-old company offering quality products, with excellent warranties and free shipping to USA addresses (orders over $50). Today they are one of the world’s leading Web retailers and a manufacturer for several lines of best-selling consumer electronics products.

Revisiting Log Home Automation

Home automation is about making things easier and improving convenience; it is about what you want – and when you want it to happen. Home automation is ‘green’ and good for global warming.

Although my primary focus is log homes, what follows pertains to all houses whether they are constructed of log, brick or even manufactured. Home automation is about making things easier and improving convenience; it is about what you want and when you want it to happen. With X-10′s ActiveHome Pro, your imagination is all that is needed to make your home “your automated castle.” Using this system you can program your thermostat to turn on or off to suit your schedule and wake up to a hot pot of coffee, and have your lights turn on or off at preset times.

This electronic brain for your home is managed by a system-control package for Windows PCs, but your computer does not need to stay connected for the system to work after it has been programmed. Once you download your behaviors into the computer interface, you can plug it into almost any electrical outlet in the house and it will run unassisted. The software permits you to program the behavior of any number of devices in your house, and is quite robust, yet easy to use. Set-up of the hardware components is a breeze. Outfit lamps or appliances that you want to control with small inexpensive modules that allow the ActiveHome Pro computer interface to communicate via signals that are broadcast across your home’s electrical wires.

You can even program the system to do tricks using the ActiveHome Pro software. A download plug-in is available from X10 (for $50) that allows modules to be controlled on an “if-then” basis. For example: If it’s past dusk and the motion sensor module detects movement in the living room, then turn on the lights. Or, if you have some programming experience, you can download a free software development kit and write a control program that interfaces with your e-mail.

Your imagination is the only limitation with this home automation system. You can create the mood you want with a push of a button. Produce a romantic atmosphere with dimmed lights, soft music and your aroma lamp, and make it a night to remember. When you come home after dark the system will automatically turn on your lights providing you a safe and visible entry. Ensure a fun and worry free vacation by turning lights on and off at different times, making your house look occupied. When it comes to peace of mind, convenience and comfort are paramount.

Home Automation is ‘Green’

Now you can control your home, get control over your expenses and conserve energy. With a home automation system you can manage countless small tasks that will add up to huge savings of both money and energy. Your smart home can be programmed to turn lights off with the dawning of the day, your television to shut off at night after you fall asleep and your furnace to power down at night or when you are away at work. Managing lighting, heating and air conditioning components and appliances can make a significant impact on your household expenses and contribute to fuel conservation.

Will home automation solve the “global warming” problem? Doubtfully, but any measures we take to reduce energy consumption is good for everyone who inhabits this planet whether they live in a log home or a straw hut. Imagine the impact if fifty-million homes in America turned off their furnace and a couple lights for a few hours every day.

In summary, home automation is not just a toy for affluent geeks, but a reasonable consideration for anyone who owns a home and wants convenience, increased security and to save money and energy. If you are contemplating home automation or security improvements, I recommend you investigate X-10′s ActiveHome Pro system. A starter kit with the software, interface and several modules, remote controls and sensors costs just $100. Additional modules cost between $15 and $50 from X10 and other vendors. ActiveHome Pro was selected as the Editors’ Choice by PC Magazine making it their top pick among all home automation systems!

Article Marketing: Boring, But it Pays.

Using Article Marketing is something boring, but it’s maybe the most reliable method of getting free targeted visitors to your site or blogs and has become very hot for boosting sales and traffic.

Even if you dont have your own product to promote, you can still make money using article marketing. You can use affiliate marketing, which doesnt require having your own webpage, dealing with clients product creation and maintenance.

And using article marketing has lots of positive benefits, it has a massive seo impact if you have your own website.  This is a strong source of getting visitors and generating back links to your website and getting more backlinks to your site will boost your rankings in search engines like google.

Creating Unique Content – Alternatives

You can use outsourcing as a positive alternative to reduce your article marketing efforts, but if you need unique content on a regular basis, this could be something expensive.

Another option is to work with plr articles. There are many websites that offer plr articles (private label rights), but if you don’t some significant modifications to them, they won’t help you so much since search engines will ban them for being duplicate content (using fresh content is a very important part of your site if you want to get good traffic from major search engines).

On the other hand, manually rewriting articles works great could be a a time consuming process if you have a lot of articles to rewrite.

Automate Your Content Creation

A good way to automate your content creation tasks is to get some article rewriting tool to rewrite your plr articles with 1 click and to create unique content on different subjects in short time.

Good thing is that there are different tools out there to automate your content creation, and a good all in one software (rewriter and generator) is Smart Article Generator.This is a 1 click rewriting tool + an article generator generator (to create articles on different subjects from scratch within minutes). A good all in one tool to reduce your article marketing efforts. Automation is the key.

I love blogging it gives me my spark, a way of expressing myself to my readers and I have a huge range of blogs on the internet today in a variety of niches. They all let me speak out and be counted and if I was starting again online today this would be an amazing stepping stone.

Most importantly blogging is fun and anybody can do it no matter what their own level of internet marketing is, there is a place for them in blogging.

I have mentored many people into the blogging niche and I have learn’t many amazing tips as I have watched their blogs florish. What people fail to realise when they take on blogging is that there are many ideas to get their work of art started.

Therefore here are five amazing great ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

1.   Set up some niche blogs and monetise them with google adsense. Write a few pages of content and carry out some basic promotion and you will soon see those google adsense clicks mount up to generate a sizeable amount each month. Once you have finished one blog and carried out the necessary promotion simply start another. It is a cheap and easy method of generating another stream of income by making money blogging.

2.   Set up a blog for a local business in your area and rent the blog to them. Use a general search term for the domain name such as yourtownbusiness.com and use your seo skills to get to the first page of google and then simply rent out the website to the businesses in your area.

3.   Use a blog to promote affiliate programmes. This is basically the same technique as used with google adsense but this time with an affiliate programme. If you go and sign up with a website such as cj.com you will see the wide range of opportunities that are available and also take into account the well known companies that are involved in this industry. This really is a great way to make money blogging.

4.   By using blogs, especially blogger.com blogs, to link to your main money website is an indirect way of making money blogging. Having links back to your main website will mean that it will rise in the search engine rankings and this will have a direct effect on your money making opportunities.

5.   Have a look at the auto blogging software that is available. There are a couple available on the Warrior forum at the moment with glowing reviews. These are basically a set and forget system where blog posts will be made automatically and before you know it you will have a great number of pages on your blog. If each page is monetised you could see yourself making a great deal of money blogging.

Just think of what you could do with your blog and if you don’t already have one what is stopping you from jumping on board today?

Toyota Corolla is a line of subcompact/compact cars founded by the Japanese automaker Toyota. It has become one of the world’s most famous line of cars since the time it was introduced in 1966. Corollas are manufactured now in more than 15 countries. It has released ten generations of subcompact and compact cars. And from these generations, the AE86 which was from the fifth generation, excelled. It is because, the Toyota AE86, together with AE85, are unique compared to other Toyota Corolla car model. Both have the rear wheel drive or FR layout. But too sad, they happened to be the last Corollas with that layout.

The AE86 generation is a product by the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno. It is a small and lightweight coupe that is being introduced by Toyota in 1983. But the production has permanently stopped in 1987. AE86 was a rear wheel drive and is among the last rear drive car of its type. The entry of this car was also the time when most passenger cars were being switched to front-drive. On its last year in 1987, Toyota only had a limited variant of the AE86 which was called “Black Limited”. But in the same year, the unit ran out and was replaced by the front wheel drive AE92 Corolla/Sprinter range.

Car enthusiasts from all over the world got fascinated by the AE86, especially in North America, they came up with specifications of the unit. But even though this is the scenario, its end was not halted.

Now, a rumor is spreading that the Toyota Sprinter/AE86 is going to be revived in 2010. according to a Japanese Magazine called Best Car, the Toyota Company is working on a possible spiritual successor to the AE86, of course, retaining the rear wheel drive. The excitement of Toyota Corolla car fans was hyped even more when newspaper Asahi Shimbun broadcast that Toyota is going to have a partnership with Subaru for this project. They also added that the target release date is 2010.

As posted in AutoBlog, the successor of the AE86 is an entry-level sports car to be tagged as Toyota. It will feature a FHI-sourced boxer engine of 2.0 liters or less underhood. When it comes to the pricing, the maximum worth would be ¥2,000,000 or lower.

Before this reports, there have been a news that was spread saying that the revival will happen in 2008. But it has been more than a year and nothing came out. As for this news, we just hope that everything will come as smooth as it was first released going back 26 years. With all the Toyota AE86 and rear wheel drive fans waiting, this car really something we should anticipate.

WordPress plugins can make or break your blogging experience. Being fairly new to blogging has been a real learning experience, not so much writing articles and sending them out to all my social sites, but in trying to optimize the wordpress site so that it’s hitting on all eight cylinders, so to speak. As I read other bloggers articles I pick up bits and pieces of what they have experienced so far, and I’ve decided that having the right wordpress plugins working for you can make life a lot easier. I’ve got a list of 12 plugins, that I’m going to recommend and hopefully shorten your learning curve, and make your blogging a more enjoyable experience.

No 1. Do Follow…This removes the evil nofollow attribute that WordPress adds in comments. You need this to keep visitors coming back for more.

No 2. AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget…Help your visitors promote your site! The widget allows any visitor to bookmark your site easily with many popular services.

No 3. All in One SEO Pack-Pro Version…It’s setup and ready to go right out of the box. It will optimize your site for search engine rankings, plus shorten your url’s by adding a number at the end, versus having a url that winds up being a mile long.

No 4. CommentLuv….Plugin to show a link to the last post from the commenters blog by parsing the feed at their given URL when they leave a comment. It’s rewards your readers and encourages  them to return and make more comments.

No 5. Commissions Automator…..This plugin is really needed but if you’re interested in making money on line, it’s helpful. It automatically post instant commission promotions to your blog, with your affiliate ID included, so when someone buys the product, you get the commission. Sweet!

No 6. FD Feedburner Plugin….Redirects all feeds to a Feedburner feed which then sends your blog post out across the entire internet.

No. 7. Onlywire… This is a social bookmarker that will send your blog post out to millions of sites, with only one push of the button.

No 8. PostSwapper.com Plugin…..You can swap links with other bloggers to posts that are related to yours. Build link popularity automatically and easily. Backlinks are one item that is considered when webcrawlers and search engines are looking at ranking your site.

No. 9…Scribe….This plugin quickly checks your new blog post content against SEO best practices, utilizing the Scribe Content Optimizer. You get a readability score, plus see what your keyword density is so you can add more or remove some.  This tool makes a huge difference when it comes to SEO Optimization.

No. 10….Tweetmeme….This plugin simply adds a button to your blog which allows your guest to retweet your blog post out to their list of tweeter followers. Nice way to take advantage of someone Else’s list.

No 11….What Would Seth Godin Do….This plugin allows you to display a custom welcome message to a new visitor and a different custom message to a returning visitor. Pretty neat. People like to be treated special so what better way to do that.

No 12…Wordspinner…This Free plugin allows WordPress to “spin” the content in your blog. Spinning is a SEO term which means that you write articles in a way so that when they are viewed, some words or sentences are replaced with synonyms to produce a “randomly” worded, but still grammatically correct article.

To find more information about the plugins do a Google search, download the plugin into a temp directory and then go to plugins in your wordpress blog, click new and upload the zip file and then install.  Pretty simple process and now you up a optimized blog that should bring you hundreds of visitors thanks to your new wordpress plugins.

It use to be that the most important thing for a blog was to capture a lot of RSS readers.  But today that is no longer the case.  RSS readers have proven very hard to monetize (make money from), don´t participate in the comments, and even the introduction of Google Adsense for RSS feeds hasn´t changed things.

Newsletters on blogs

Today most of the popular blog, the so called A-list bloggers, offer an email newsletter.

Blog designs have also changed in order to capture more email newsletter subscribers.  Most blogs now have a newsletter opt-in form in a very prominent position, usually on the header.

It is also becoming increasingly common to see blogs that have pop-up forms to capture email newsletter subscribers.  They are a little annoying, but the fact of the matter is they work.

Blog newsletters become popular

Blog newsletters became increasingly popular in late 2008, when a-list blogger Darren Rowse, revealed how he increased the number of daily newsletter subscribers on his digital photography blog after installing the Aweber pop-up.

After this other bloggers followed suit, and today, most major blogs offer email newsletters.

Reasons why you should have a blog newsletter

If you are still looking for a few reasons to install a newsletter on your blog, take a look at these great reasons:

When a new visitor finds your blog and subscribes to your RSS feed, he will receive any future posts you publish.  He will not however have access to any of the great content you already published on your blog.  Nor will he sign-up to the all those affiliate programs you promoted in the past.  Contrast this to what would happen if this same visitor subscribed to your newsletter.  In this case, not only would he receive any future posts you publish, he will also be able to receive all the great content you published in the past.  You do this by setting up an auto responder that will deliver some of your best content.  You can also deliver posts (emails) where you promoted affiliate programs and thus keep getting sign-ups for these programs, earning you more money.  And the good news is you can do all this with very little additional work. The other great reason to have a blog newsletter is in the event that you suddenly decide to stop blogging.  If that happened all those regular RSS readers you had so much trouble signing up will never here from you again.  Any new visitor that finds your blog through the search engines and subscribes to your RSS feed will also never hear from you.  Your newsletter subscribes however will continue to receive all the emails you have in your auto responder.  They will even keep signing up to all those affiliate programs, and this will in turn keep making you money.  What will also happen is that any new subscriber you get will receive the emails set-up in your auto responder, even though you are not even posting any more!

As you can see, with an email newsletter your blog will keep making more money for you even if you decide to stop blogging!

Choosing the colour of your car may be  a matter of personal taste or a conscious decision to either minimise or maximise the attention you and your vehicle get on the open road – or you could simply want to restore your vehicle to its former glory by matching the colour as close to the original as possible.

A century ago, selecting colour schemes for your pride and joy would have been pretty straight forward as the variations were fairly limited compared to today’s wonderful array of paint colours to choose from. According to SifyNews.com “choosing a car’s colour these days presents a veritable menagerie of options: Anaconda Green, New Sable and Truffle Mica, to name a few”.

Today’s colour palettes are purposely engineered to “reflect a specific aesthetic and then tailored to a vehicle’s exact size, style and segment” or merely owners interests, reports SifyNews.com – which begs the question what kind of person drives a canary yellow Ferrari? A bird lover perhaps?

Reactions to the Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS concept car were universally the same across the motoring press: “awesome car, strange colour choice”, according to Autoblog.com. For such an aggressive styled and powered supercar you would expect “dark silver or British racing green”, but Aston went with a baby blue hue instead – later revealing the reasoning behind such an unusual colour choice was that Aston were “reviving the classic Gulf racing livery for its Le Mans-challenging DBR9′s” – the same racing machine that donated its engine to the Aston Vantage concept.

The huge response from the bizarre car colour provoked Aston to open up a contest to “name that hue”, with the winning name chosen as “Mako Blue”, which is not only the name of the fastest most agile of sharks, but also the Maori name for “blue lightning”, which obviously is “descriptive of both colour and car – a very befitting name”, according to AstonMartin.com.

Modern day society allows us to express ourselves, whether it’s through our clothes, music or colour of our car and it has been noted that “people are tired of the same old mood of what’s been going on for the last few years, so they’re going to want to express themselves in new and unique ways”, according to Sify.com.

In some cases, car colour names are often synonymous of the brand heritage, for example, Maserati’s Bianco Eldorado, which was named after a famous race car from 1958, the “Stirling Moss”, which incorporated the Eldorado Ice-cream company logo on it, with a beautiful eggshell white exterior.

Spamming blog’s can also be known as blog spam, comment spam and splogs. All of these are known as spamdexing. Any website that accepts and displays hyperlinks may well become a target of blog spamming.

The spamming of blogs, forums, chat rooms, etc is when comments are automatically posted that are promoting spammers sites. These comments rarely feature any text and normally just consist of the spammers link.

By doing this spammers are increasing there search engine ranking, which can result in the spammers site being listed ahead of other sites. Spammers use these chat rooms, forums, blogs, etc to post links back to their site because it is a way of getting people to visit their site and, sadly, sometimes spend money on the spammers products.

Blog spamming originates from guestbook spamming. Spammers would visit sites only to fill the sites guestbook up with numerous links taking you to their site. Guestbook’s were intended to be used by genuine visitors to the site, for them to comment on the use of the site. Spammers rarely even bother to add a comment to the various links they are posting; if they do it would simply say something like “cool site.”

In 2003 spammers really started to take advantage of the fact they could get away with posting in blogs, forums, etc. Many blog sites and forums started to add software to try and stop the spammers, but as the technology grew so did the spammers knowledge of how to get around it. Spammers started using tools such as Trackback Submitter, which allowed spammers to get around comment spam protection.

There are certain things that site owners can do to stop spammers posting. Validation tests are a way of blocking spam comments on forums, blogs, etc. A validation test is a way of showing that an actual person is posting a comment and that the comment isn’t just being automated.

A Captcha test is like a validation test, again it makes it clear that a comment is being posted by a human and not just being automated. A captcha is a combination of numbers and letters that are embedded in an image. The combination of letters and numbers has to be entered correctly in order for your comment to be posted. Spammers are already trying to get around the captcha test, with many spam tools having text recognition built into them, this is why the numbers/letters that are embedded into the image are slightly distorted so they can’t be picked up by the text recognition. However site owners have to be careful when using a captcha test as some of them are case sensitive and with the distortion of the letters it can become difficult to recognize if the letters are in lower or upper case.

Validation tests can also put some people off posting comments because the tests can sometimes be seen as a nuisance.

When spammers post comments containing website links as a way of trying to get their site at a higher ranking in the search engines, they will be faced with the possibility of their efforts failing as many links relating to spam sites, are getting altered to that Google, amongst other search engines won’t include them in the search engine ranking at all.

Spam is something that the Internet could do without but will never truly get rid of. It is important that you protect your email account and website as much as you can against spammers.

The continual demand for content has become a nightmare for most bloggers. There are two choices and neither is palatable. Write the content yourself, or outsource it. Either way it’s a considerable cost.

For most of the people I know, blogging would become their principal—if not their only—road to marketing if only…

If only they could find a way around the two problems associated with article writing… time and/or money.

Those same people would be ecstatic if they could swap hours (or potential hours) of daily article writing for the privilege spending minutes a day once a week to achieve the same result. Minutes a day—not writing—but simply using a mouse to access a simple process in Firepow 2.0

A program that uncovers news items, articles, even videos—and posts them to your blog or blogs, either randomly or in a planned, systematic way of your choice.

That sounds good doesn’t it? I can understand if you are thinking that it’s too good to be true.

Well, fact is, it is true.

It’s part of the new Firepow 2.0, and it’s being used right now by hundreds happy and excited Firepow 2.0 members—all over the world.

I used it for the first time myself a few days ago. My reaction? Sensational… simply sensational!

I believe that once you get used to using it, you’d simply whizz through getting you content into a blog in under 30 min. – max. And that would set up content dribbling into your blog not just for now, but for tomorrow… for the rest of the week… for the rest of the month… and longer if you wanted.

This astonishing Firepow resource, Content Blitz—an innovation of that sensational young Australian Internet marketer, Andrew Hansen, is already altering the world of ‘blogging marketing’

How to make money blogging? Hey, many of us over 45 may seem old and on the verge of toppling over from the perspective of the youthful Web 2.0-ers, but some of us do actually know how to earn money on the internet!

In fact, many of us have quite a serious incentive to know what’s going for what in the world of Internet Marketing, for the simple reason that we ARE nearly keeling over, and we NEED to make a fast – and lasting – buck to provide for our upcoming retirement…

To be more precise: we need a consistent, secure, low-maintenance – even automated – source of income that will outlast us in our twilight years.

Well, if you have a couple of years left till retirement and you know how to make money blogging, it’s entirely possible to provide for a comfortable supplemental retirement income, or to even enhance it significantly!

Here are two important methods to consider:

1. Start blogging for AdSense dollars

Start a niche site using one of the blogging programs available, such as WordPress. The advantage of using something like WordPress is that it’s free, you can install it on your domain within minutes, and there are Adsense ready templates available to add ads automatically to your blog.

If you do some research, you will find many, many profitable topics to write about. Try doing product reviews for items that are in great demand. These will always attract lots of advertising for your AdSense income.

If you post and promote your articles regularly for a year or two, you will receive a steadily growing income that will eventually require very little maintenance, and that can sustain you for a long time, while you happily go on your world cruises!

Don’t know how to blog? You will find lots of info on the web to make it quite easy to teach yourself blogging! Before you know it, you will be an expert on how to make money blogging.

2. Start an opt in email list

While a blogging site with AdSense income can provide a really good long term passive income, it is always good to spread your risks, especially when it comes to retirement! One of the best retirement assets you could build up is probably an opt in email list, or a double opt in leads list, as it is also called.

The idea behind this method is that you will have a ready market at your (arthritic!?) fingertips for a long time to come. Once you have a good list of say a couple of thousand leads, you can market affiliate products to them as often as you need to supplement your retirement income.

How does it work? A very effective way to build an opt in email list is to set up a squeeze page on your site. This can be done within a few minutes if you use one of the many available templates specially prepared for this purpose. The squeeze page captures the contact details of your visitors, mostly by offering them some kind of bonus in return.

You also need to set up an autoresponder follow-up system which sends out information and offers at regular intervals – all of this can be fully automated to leave you the freedom of enjoying your walks or books or the visits from the grandchildren!

Now, just settle in and drive traffic to your squeeze page and see your list grow over time!

If you stick it out diligently for a couple of years, you will be surprised at the income stream you have at your disposal for those lazy years ahead! Who knows, once you discover how to make money blogging, retiring may not seem like such an inviting prospect after all…

2) You have to confirm that he doesn’t sell those articles to other people.

3) If you’ll need new content on a regular basis, this will be expensive.

On the other hand, you can utilize plr articles as a source of content.  The most usual problem with private label articles is the duplicate content penalties imposed by search engines.  With plr articles, you will also be sharing them with hundreds of other people.  Instead of using the plr articles that you obtained as is, you have to rewrite them to make them unique and get traffic from different search engines like google.

Using Automation Tools: Content Rewriting Tools / Generators

Another option is to use a content rewriting software to immediately rewrite your existing plr articles (making multiple unique copies from them) or you can also use a content generator to make unique articles on different subjects in minutes.

There are some programs out there but the only software that combines a 1 click rewriter with an article generator is Smart Article Generator. By using this program you can make your plr articles unique in seconds and you can make new content on different topics with some clicks. A Must Have.

It doesn’t matter if you do ghostwriting or you use a generator/rewriter. All you have to know is that automation is the key.

There are many ways of building links to one’s site but blog commenting has ironically been overlooked by many webmasters. Most of them deem blog commenting as waste of time because in their thinking, it is one of the weakest forms of link building.

On the contrary, blog commenting is one of most effect and natural link building method that can skyrocket one’s site popularity because of the fact that the blogs may possibly be in the same niche. This is because your comments are flowing with the link to your site or blog which the search engines would see as one way backlinks and the blog visitors who are naturally interested will also click-in to your site to see what you are offering. This is why you must ensure that you ONLY post valuable comments in the relevant blogs so as to get the best benefits from your participation.

Many savvy marketers do not see blog commenting as natural link building method but they usually want to bulldoze their ways into the terrain by making use of blogging software to post ‘useless’ comments to as \many a thousand blogs at once! Because they do not know what is being discussed, what they normally do is simply write something like ‘GOOD POST’ and use the software to broadcast to as many blogs as possible even to those that aren’t relevant in any way. This is one major reason most of them aren’t getting any useful result from their blog commenting efforts.

You have to always bear in mind that blogs are created so that people would read, share their opinions about the subject that is being discussed and generally interact. This is absolutely absent in the auto-blog commenting and it yields very insignificant or absolutely no results. Note that you are commenting on the posts made by real human so your comments should be relevant to what was posted without being distractive or off the point. You simply have to take time to comment on the top ranking blogs in your niche. You have to add valuable comments so that you wouldn’t just be getting g one way backlinks to your site but your will begin to realize targeted direct traffic from such blogs.

You can actually use blog commenting as natural link building route but there are things you must always remember.

The first things you should is to do a simple search on Google to discover blogs in your niche that are ranked high in the search engines’ result page. These are the type of blogs you will take to comment in for more positive results.

You have to read the posts made before you comment. It would amount to waste of time or even become counter-productive if you post comments without addressing what is being discussed. Read what others are saying and the questions that ere being asked so that you will know how to tailor your comments to suite others.

Do not too technical while commenting in any blog but write as if you are talking to your immediate friends. This will help you to build trust while the blogs would also serve as a natural link building route which your site needs for higher search engines’ Result pages ranking.

Word Press has so many great Plugins, that its sometimes hard to decide which ones you need.

Here is a list of the plugins I use on my Word Press Blog.  I will also explain why I use each one.

To find the plugin, copy the plugin name and in your WordPress Admin area, on the left bar under Plugins, click on “Add New”.  Paste it into the Search Box and click “Search Plugins”.

You can find all of them except the first one, “Add Sig”.  Just do a search in Google and follow the instructions on how to install it.

Add Sig: This is one that I love.  Add a custom signature to the bottom of posts with the author’s information.  You can have links in the signature and anything with HTML in each Post.

Add to Any: Share/Bookmark/Email Button :  Help readers share, bookmark, and email your posts and pages using any service.  Everyone needs this so your readers can share your posts with their Social Media sites.

AdRotate:  Make making money easy with AdRotate. Add advanced banners to your website using the simplest interface available!  This is great for testing which of your banners get more clicks.  Remember TEST TEST TEST!

Akismet:  Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.  Everyone needs this plugin on their blogs.

Best Post Page:   This plugin creates a page of your best posts based on views and comments.  Great little plugin, shows the posts which get the most traffic on you site.  You can set how many posts show up.

CommentLuv:  Plugin to show a link to the last post from the commenters blog by parsing the feed at their given URL when they leave a comment. Rewards your readers and encourage more comments.  This is one I am just starting to use, but it is recommended by some of the top bloggers.

Google XML Sitemaps:  This plugin will generate a sitemaps.org compatible sitemap of your WordPress blog which is supported by Ask.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO.  Another must use plugin, as it will help the Search Engines find and index all your blog posts.

OptinPop:  OptinPop is designed to help you build your blog subscriber list by showing your visitors a pop-up window containing the optin form of any webpage you create. You can tune the appearance of your pop-up window and other parameters on the OptinPop Settings page within the Plugins menu.  This is a great plugin, as you can use it to build your list.  As all great Internet Marketer’s should know, “The Money is in the List”.  I use this on my blog to help build my email list.

Publish To Facebook:  Publishes posts, pages or both to your Facebook Mini-Feed directly from WordPress.  Great plugin that automatically publishes your blog post to your Facebook account.  I love this plugin.  Check out my Facebook Page and send me a Friend request.

Sidebar Photoblog:  Share your daily photos on your blog sidebar easily.  Great plugin that is easy to use and your pictures show up in your blog.

Smart Youtube:  Insert YouTube videos in posts, comments and RSS feeds with ease and full customization.  Great way to post YouTube Videos in your blog.

StatPress:  Real time stats for your blog.  This is another one that is a must have for everyone.  You need to know where your viewers are coming from, what search terms they are using to find your blog, and what they are doing on your website.  Great way to find keywords that people are using to find your site and then you are able to use them more in your posts.

Twitter Tools: A complete integration between your WordPress blog and Twitter. Bring your tweets into your blog and pass your blog posts to Twitter. Show your tweets in your sidebar, and post tweets from your WordPress admin.  I like using this plugin as it automatically posts a tweet to twitter, using a URL shrinker to make your tweet the right size.

Ultimate Google Analytics: Enable Google Analytics on your blog. Has options to also track external links, mailto links and links to downloads on your own site.  Here is Google’s Analytics, plugin that works just like “StatPress”, but you can get a lot more useful information.  I like to use both, as StatPress is for a quick look, but I use Google Analytics for a more indepth look at my Stats.

A blog helps you to reach people you can reach in no other way because your frequent updates mean that you’ll automatically get niche visitors – those people who have no clue about you or the product that you’re selling, but who happened to type in a search engine query that mentioned words you used in a single post. But put in its most simplistic terms a Blog is an online discussion web site that allows both you the web owner and your visitors to voice their opinion on a specific subject.

So if you’re publishing the family blog, this one might offer more of the user-friendly options you need. Blogger enables you to set up a functional blog in about 5 minutes and start posting your thoughts, rants, or family facts with the world. And can be easier to use then other blogging platforms such as wordpress.

A blog helps you to reach people you can reach in no other way because your frequent updates mean that you’ll automatically get niche visitors – those people who have no clue about you or the product that you’re selling, for more details visit to www.your-own-blog.com but who happened to type in a search engine query that mentioned words you used in a single post. And a blog with several posts (pages) on the same subject with the same key words but unique content will give you search engine traffic that you can learn to funnel to your own website or direct sales company website. So to those with even the most obscure interests or hobbies, a blog search powered by a top search engine gives ready access to fresh information on any subject that someone can blog about.

A business blog can do the SEO magic when it is embedded to your business website. Companies looking to develop a network or community around themselves: as a networking tool, for more details visit to www.blogers-guide-to-profit.com a business blog can help in many different ways but one of its most powerful is when it allows the creation of a network of like minded people interested in a particular area.

With adsense, the truth of the matter is that the blog is a very easy way to make money with Adsense. And the reason being, blogs turn to rank higher on search engines then general websites.

Since Google allows you to add 3 Google Adsense blocks only to one page, no more than that, so I recommend one at the Top, one in the Right or Left sidebar depending on the template you choose and one at the Bottom of your blog. And since with a Adsense blog it is so easy to make quick money because of several reasons ranging from the fact that one does not need to accomplish a sale to earn.

Actually you will quickly learn that there are dozens of ways to make money from your Adsense blog, other than the Adsense program. Many bloggers make the mistake of sticking to Adsense only and are leaving money on the table if they cannot take the time to learn about other alternatives they can use to make cash from their blog.

Political blogs are rampant, and groups of bloggers across the globe post regularly on every topic imaginable. Posters get to see the results of a post immediately, as the post appears simultaneously after posting. And if you have your blog set up correctly, every post will update several pages of your site giving you more readership and revenue.

Hey, many of us over 45 may seem old and on the verge of toppling over from the perspective of the youthful Web 2.0, but some of us do actually know how to earn money on the internet!

In fact, many of us have quite a serious incentive to know what s going for what in the world of Internet Marketing, for the simple reason that we ARE nearly keeling over, and we NEED to make a fast and lasting buck to provide for our upcoming retirement…

To be more precise: we need a consistent, secure, low maintenance even automated source of income that will outlast us in our twilight years.

Well, if you have a couple of years left till retirement and you know how to make money blogging, it s entirely possible to provide for a comfortable supplemental retirement income, or to even enhance it significantly!

Here are two important methods to consider:

1. Start blogging for AdSense dollars

Start a niche site using one of the blogging programs available, such as WordPress for help visit www.feed-reader-links.com. The advantage of using something like WordPress is that it s free, you can install it on your domain within minutes, and there are Adsense ready templates available to add ads automatically to your blog.

If you do some research, you will find many, many profitable topics to write about. Try doing product reviews for items that are in great demand. These will always attract lots of advertising for your AdSense income.

If you post and promote your articles regularly for a year or two, you will receive a steadily growing income that will eventually require very little maintenance, and that can sustain you for a long time, while you happily go on your world cruises!

Don t know how to blog? You will find lots of info on the web to make it quite easy to teach yourself blogging! Before you know it, you will be an expert on how to make money blogging.

2. Start an opt in email list

While a blogging site with AdSense income can provide a really good long term passive income, it is always good to spread your risks, especially when it comes to retirement! One of the best retirement assets you could build up is probably an opt in email list, or a double opt in leads list, as it is also called.

The idea behind this method is that you will have a ready market at your (arthritic!?) fingertips for a long time to come. Once you have a good list of say a couple of thousand leads, you can market affiliate products to them as often as you need to supplement your retirement income.

How does it work? A very effective way to build an opt in email list is to set up a squeeze page on your site. This can be done within a few minutes if you use one of the many available templates specially prepared for this purpose for help visit www.rss-announcers.com. The squeeze page captures the contact details of your visitors, mostly by offering them some kind of bonus in return.

You also need to set up an autoresponder follow up system which sends out information and offers at regular intervals all of this can be fully automated to leave you the freedom of enjoying your walks or books or the visits from the grandchildren!

Now, just settle in and drive traffic to your squeeze page and see your list grow over time!

If you stick it out diligently for a couple of years, you will be surprised at the income stream you have at your disposal for those lazy years ahead! Who knows, once you discover how to make money blogging, retiring may not seem like such an inviting prospect after all…

I expect you are all aware of what a blog is. Let’s face it – you can hardly go on the internet or switch on the TV these days without running into blogs. They are literally everywhere, and you’ve probably also heard that there is a lot of money to be made with them too. I’m guessing you’d like to get in on the action…

Content is the key to making money from your blog. You can have all the widgets, plugins, bells and whistles, but if your content doesn’t make people stick around, then it’s all in vain.

Write the content Yourself and Give It Your Personality If you can write a letter, you can write a blog post. Think about your readers as friends, who you are writing a letter to. You will want to make them laugh, recommend a product that has helped you and infuse your personality throughout the letter.

How can you fill your content with your personality?

Tell your reader your story. Let them into your life by providing snippets of information. Let your reader know that you are human – a human that they can relate to and more importantly trust. People love reading stories, so make sure your blog posts have some. This can be the story of how you achieved something, how you overcame something, how you developed your interest in the topic your blog is about. You can also ask your readers to share their stories as well, that way everyone can learn from each other. That interactivity should be the ultimate aim in your blog writing endeavours, and is hard to achieve unless you write the content yourself.

Other types of stories can include things happening around you -
A conversation you might have overheard that relates to your blog topic
Your take on something happening in the news, and how it affects you.
Something you read that gave you inspiration.
What your children did to make you laugh and how it reminds you of something important in life.

Those are the secrets to good content on your blog.

Outsource Your Blog Posts

If the thought of writing and even rewriting scares you to death, then you can consider outsourcing. It can take a while to find a good writer, but find one and it can be a massive time saver.

Probably the best ways to find good writers is to ask for recommendations, or take a trip to the Warrior Forum (http://www.warriorforum.com), where there are plenty of writers waiting for an exciting new writing opportunity like yours. If the person is any good you’ll be able to see it by the comments they are getting and the feedback from other forum members.

Auto Blog Content

If you want a REALLY hands off approach there are several plugins out there which will automatically post content to your blog. Plugins such as AutoBlogged take content from RSS or Atom Feeds and posts it to your blog. Cool huh!

Extra Content Tip: Putting Video in Your Blog

Everyone loves videos. Adding videos will make your readers stay on your blog for longer – and they are great for traffic too.

You can either create your own videos or you can find a good related video on YouTube, which you can embed into a blog post.

If you would like to know more about creating a profitable Blog from the ground up check out my step by step guide “Blogging Profit Formula” . For the price of a good steak dinner you could have your own money making blog up and running in no time

When it comes to Internet Marketing, are you a newbie, a semi-expert or expert?

It’s easy to know where you belong, because the difference between them can be seen in the money that’s been earned so far: If all you have to show for in your Internet Marketing efforts are three sales in three months, then consider yourself a beginner who needs to learn the ropes from someone who’s already there.

Fast Track Cash: Best Internet Marketing Book Written by Ewen Chia, Fast Track Cash is one online marketing book that serious marketers should read. Why? Because of Ewen’s credibility. It’s not no secret that many affiliate marketers consider Ewen their “secret weapon” for earning a full-time income from the Internet.

He’s earned millions from his Internet business. He’s written a self-help book to boot entitled, “How I Made My First Million on the Internet and How You Can Too”. In this Internet Marketing for newbies book, Ewen lays out a simple plan of action that anyone can follow.

What This Book is Based On and What It Teaches

The book basically teaches its readers how to “repurpose” five articles so that they generate continuous sales. These five articles should present a solution to lingering, “hair on fire” problems of your niche. You can, for example, write a five-part series of articles outlining tips on toilet training for pets if you’re selling a book on toilet training for pets.

From these five articles, Ewen gives step-by-step specific instructions on what to do with these articles for:

-article marketing, -video marketing, -autoblogs, -link wheels, -forum marketing, -classified ads marketing, and -social marketing (Facebook, etc.)

Who This Book is Good For

This book is really for people who already know something about Internet marketing, but are stuck because of information overload. This book is also very good for people who have been working very hard but have yet to see consistent results, i.e., consistent monthly paychecks.

The Article Marketer’s Ultimate Guide

I have been doing article marketing for three years now, and I must say that up until I read book, It never came to me what I could do with the articles that I’ve already written and submitted to article directories.

If you’re an article marketer, I seriously recommend that you invest some dollars in this guidebook. Why? There may be a lot of free “how to make money” information online, but after some time, you’ll feel there’s something more?”

Trust me, I’ve been there.

More Content = More Chances to Get Great Results.

When creating a marketing tactic for your sites or blogs, the content that you prepare for your site is the key to acomplish online success and this is for the reason that search engines like Google, love unique and updated content sites and reward them with better rankings.

Before writing content for your sites, you require to commit a proper keyword analysis. Doing a proper keyword analysis (later on this) will tell you which keywords the internet users are seeking for, for you to write content for them. Once you have some extended terms for your niche, it’s time to start writing content related to those terms.

Preparing 4-6 Articles Per Day.

In order to be successful with your article writing tactic, you have to keep in mind that making as multiple articles as possible is something surely important.. Writing more articles signifies a trmendous chance to get multiple visitors from search engines. The secret is to build multiple articles per day. Preparing 4-6 articles per day is a good way to begin. To put it simple, you require to make about closely 150 articles per month. This action, may bring you good traffic. And sales, evidently.

You do not have to waste your time establishing that content.

Creating 4 or 5 articles per day may sound such as a lot of work. And chances are that you won’t have enough time to deliver that number of articles per month. Well, you have to make them. Now, how can you systematically create closely 150 articles per month? Thankfully, you do not have to do that stressing job if you do not want.

You can utilize a ghostwriter to outsource your article writing (but this could be not something inexpensive if you require a trmendous number of articles) or you can buy articles with private label rights and use them after making a couple of changes to them. You have to make them unique since search engines hate not unique content (a single plr article can be utilized by 100′s of websites).

Creating original content within Minutes (Content Rewriters)

A good alternative to automate your rewriting is by the utilization of a content rewrite tool to make your articles with private label rights unique. There are multiple programs to rewrite articles. One that generates a trmendous difference is Smart Article Generator.

This program is the only all in one system for contet generation: It’s a unique article generator (you can create numerous articles on different subjects in minutes) and a 1 click content rewriter (creates multiple unique articles from one plr article).

It also comes with a keyword research tool (tells you what to write about). It also has an affordable price (no monthly fees) and comes with free lifetime updates. A must have tool.

Once you are prepared to automate your content creation to and make 4 to 6 articles per day, you can start accomplishing more and more visitors from search engines to your sites and blogs (while raising your sales and revenue).

So you want to start a blog but you are afraid you do not have the time to devote to it? If you want to have your own space on the internet and have the opportunity to show your inner self to the world, blogging may be the answer. Consider these five tips to making your blog as time efficient as it is exciting.

1. First of all, you may want to consider setting up a community blog. A community blog is one that is run by many people who are like minded, instead of simply by one individual. This helps to eliminate the needs for constant posting by one person. With several people comprising a team of bloggers, each person can post a couple of times a week and result in a blog that is relatively active.

2. If you do not want to create a blog with a community of bloggers working together, you can also choose to hire a team of bloggers. This is similar to the way newspapers use contributing authors for articles. In fact, many successful blogs are successful because they do just that. This helps to insure active posting and timely posting, thus making your blog more appealing to visitors. This also helps to increase your audience because each blogger will bring with it his or her own group of influence. Like this idea but not sure about the expense? You can offset the cost by allowing the display of Adsense advertisements. This can, in fact, even turn out to be a profit making venture as well.

3. Next, you can recycle content to save time. Search for relevant articles on your topic(s) and break them down into segments appropriate for a blog. You can also use partial interviews and other things. Consider selecting a longer piece and breaking it down into smaller blogs that could last a week. You can set this up and post parts daily as a series.

4. Another way to save time is to use audio in your blog. Some people simply find it easier to speak into a microphone than to write something. It is perfectly acceptable to mix things up and use a variety of both in your blog. Use an MP3 recorder or phone to record your blogs. This is convenient for those who stay on the go or those who are held up in traffic or an unexpected meeting. You can record thoughts as soon as they come to you instead of having to wait and try to remember it all later.

5. Finally, you can automate your blog. Many blog programs allow you to create blogs ahead of time to be published at a future date and time. So, if you have some free time, you can create blogs for the rest of your week. Automate them to post each day, and your blog remains updated with no extra work on your part. This can be a huge timesaver if you do not have to sit at the computer to type every single day. There are days when we do not have enough time or space to say everything we want to say. There are other days when we would prefer not to talk at all. Instead of having several entries on one day and then nothing for the next two or three days, you can write it all at once and have it post each day.

Whether it’s a corporate blog, a news-type blog, or even a personal blog, optimizing your blog for the search engines is a must. There are some simple changes that you can make to WordPress and Moveable Type that will make your blog more search engine friendly and make the search engines beg for more (more post and content, that is!).

Optimizing a blog is just like optimizing any other website. The content and pages (posts) must be unique, they must be search engine friendly, and it needs links from other websites. If it’s a new blog, then you first need to make sure the blog software you’re using is set up so that it takes advantage of all of the possible optimization features. Then, announce it to the world, work on getting some links to it, and start making posts.

WordPress Optimization

If you’re using WordPress for your blog software, it’s important to make sure that your site is search engine friendly, meaning that it can easily be spidered by the search engine spiders. Just like optimizing a website, it’s important to have good title tags and meta tags. Keep in mind that blog software usually uses the title of your post as the title tag, so include keywords in your titles as much as possible. It’s important to set up your blog’s software so that the URLs don’t contain a lot of variables. Instead, use URLs that include the post title or post name in them. For example, if you’re using WordPress you’ll need to set the permalinks so that it uses %postname% in the URL. You can also set up a specific category for the post archives, and you might consider using a keyword that’s related to your blog instead of the default, which is typically the word “archive”. Fintan Darragh of www.dech.co.uk has a great blog post called “Ultimate WordPress SEO Tips” (http://www.dech.co.uk/2005/11/ultimate-WordPress-seo-tips/). Mr. Darragh talks about permalink optimization and says, “The goal: stick more keywords up into the URL and remove the faff which nobody uses, to make the URL search engine and people attractive. Having keywords in your URL is an absolute must, especially when it’s as easy as WordPress makes it.” He also goes on to talk about getting rid of useless tags like the month, day, and year, as well as one important detail: whatever you do stick with the site structure you choose—otherwise you might end up with a lot of useless links to your site. Other tips that Mr. Darragh mentions are optimizing your page titles and your post titles–and installing a few plugins that are useful such as the “Related Posts Plugin” and the “Technorati Tag Generator”.

There are several other places where you can get specific tips about setting up WordPress in a search engine friendly manner, including: * SEO at Aleeya Dot Net – http://www.aleeya.net/category/WordPress/seo/
* The Best WordPress SEO Possible – http://WordPress.org/support/topic/49168
* Search Engine Optimization for WordPress – http://codex.WordPress.org/Search_Engine_Optimization_for_WordPress
* Search Engine Optimization for Blogs – http://www.blog-maniac.com/blog-seo.htm
* DYI Search Engine Optimization – http://lorelle.WordPress.com/2006/01/15/dyi-search-engine-optimization/ One of the best tutorials out there is one called “DYI Search Engine Optimization” by Lorelle VanFossen. Specifically, Lorelle (lorelle.WordPress.com) has some great tips, including how to optimize your code, develop strong intrasite links, write with strong keyword usage, use categories and tags, and how to use ping services. Lorelle says that “the goal is to help search engine crawlers move through your website collecting information to be stored in the search engine’s database. The key to your blog’s data making it successfully into a search engine’s database is to: 1) Make sure there are no road blocks in the path of a search engine crawler.
2) Make sure the crawler can move through your blog, examining all your web pages.
3) Provide adequate keywords and key phrases which clearly help categorize your content.
4) Provide clearly labeled tags and categories recognized by tagging service crawlers and many search engines today.
5) Take advantage of pinging services.” There are several WordPress Plugins available that will help you take advantage of internal linking (like the Related Posts Plugin) which will link to other posts in your blog that are on the same topic.

Other plugins that might be helpful are plugins that automatically generate a Google Sitemap file as well as plugins that help you categorize the site such as the WordPress Subdomain Plugin (http://www.webguerrilla.com/WordPress-subdomain-plugin/).

Movable Type Optimization
If you’re using Movable Type for your blog software, then it’s also important to make sure that your site is search engine friendly and can be spidered by the search engine spiders. Just like optimizing a website, it’s important to have good title tags and meta tags. Keep in mind that blog software usually uses the title of your post as the title tag, so include keywords in your titles as much as possible. Miles Evans (http://www.webpronews.com/expertarticles/expertarticles/wpn-62-20060310Movable TypeSEO.html) says that “Movable Type is optimized quite well out of the box, but there are a few quick tricks to easily providing the spiders with some dynamic content.” He goes on to say that you need to optimize your template. “For my main home page and category index pages I hardcode most of my meta data. Your meta tags will be at the top of the template within the tag. You can get fancy on your index pages but I cannot really see why. Optimize these two templates by hand for whatever keywords you are targeting site wide.” Mr. Evans also has another article titled, “Best Movable Type Plugins” (http://www.webpronews.com/expertarticles/expertarticles/wpn-62-20060310BestMovable TypePlugins.html) that talks about his favorite plugins that help him get great search engine rankings. His favorite Movable Type Plugins for SEO are Dashify, MTPaginate, MT Blogroll, MT InlineEditor, MT-Textile, BigPAPI, as well as Ajaxify (a set of plugins that adds several ajax/javascript widgets into the Movable Type interface), CheckLinks, FormatList v1.0, and Better File Uploader for uploading files. Nicholas Carvan (http://www.nicholascaravan.com) has a great article about Movable Type optimization called “Optimizing your Movable Type blog for Google” (http://www.nicholascarvan.com/blog/optimizing_your_Movable Type_blog_for_google.html). In it he talks about PageRank (and how it relates to your internal linking on your blog), having keywords in your URL (which is important for all blog optimization) and blogrolling. He defines the term blogrolling very well, saying, “Blogrolling: Inbound links are gold, but in Google’s eyes, not all links are equal. In particular, Google isn’t wild about links contained within JavaScript – apparently they can index them, but that doesn’t mean they always want to.”

Once you’ve set up and configured your blog’s software, it’s important to make sure that you leave it alone—if you change your page URLs then any links that you’ve received from other bloggers may not be valid anymore. If you need to change your site’s structure (perhaps you’ve been blogging already and wish to use the tips from this article to optimize your blog), then you might want to take a look at the Objection Redirection WordPress Plugin(http://WordPress-plugins.biggnuts.com/objection-redirection-WordPress-plugin/) if you’re using WordPress. The Objection Redirection Plugin gives you a simple interface to redirect users (and search engine bots) to the proper page, especially if you’ve changed your site’s structure.

Start Blogging
The best thing you can do is to start blogging. Go ahead and post to your heart’s content and write, write, write about your topic. The more content you can provide the better—and it seems as if adding content on a regular basis really helps, as well. Feel free to link out to other blog posts that are related to the topic you’re writing about. For example, before you publish a post, go on over to your favorite blog search engine and find another recent post on the same subject—and link to the post. Linking out to other bloggers will get their attention, and hopefully they’ll end up linking to you as well. If other bloggers have trackbacks turned on then their blog will link back to your post. Some trackbacks are moderated, so it might take some time before your link shows up on the other blog. And some bloggers have trackbacks turned off, so a link back to your site might take some manual intervention. Categorize your posts as much as possible, and feel free to add categories as you blog—it will help the internal linking structure of your site, and help the search engines and users find on-topic posts.

Promoting Your Blog
Whenever you make a post in your blog, your blog software will attempt to ping certain sites to let them know that you just updated your blog. There are many blog ping services out there, including Ping-O-Matic and Pingoat. Your blog software can be configured to ping sites automatically, and I’ve posted a list for WordPress of ping services on by blog (http://www.corporatewebsitemarketing.info/cwm/WordPress-ping-list). If your blog is new or you would like to get some more links, you can submit your blog to blog directories as well as other sites that will list your blog (don’t forget to submit to DMOZ.org, Yahoo! Directory, and the Best of the Web Blog Directory). About.com has a great article about promoting a blog (http://weblogs.about.com/cs/blogpromotions/a/promoteblog.htm) and even Biz Stone has great tutorial about promoting your blog (http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1060). Lastly, don’t forget to turn on your blog’s RSS feed. And if you’re looking to promote your RSS feed, try searching your favorite search engine for “promote rss” to find a lot of good tutorials.

Promoting your blog is just like promoting a website—you need good spiderable content, links to your content, and you need to set up your blog software to take advantage of all the great features. There are also plugins that will help make blogging easier for all of us.

Blogging has been fully embraced by the business world as a “must have” for any business. However, many business owners fall into the trap of building a blog and not being able to keep the content fresh, start visiting company websites and when you click on the blog link sometimes you find that they have not been updated in weeks, months or years. While business news or update blogs are important, they help with the search engines, etc… they are not the only way to use blogging as a platform for getting your message out. We are going to focus on other aspects of blogging…

Contributing, PR distribution, and Enthusiast Blogging.

Most businesses are members of a trade organization like SEMA or ASD and the supply you with a list of press contacts for the industry. While that is a great list to have, it is not the whole picture when you factor in the power of the internet. Lets break it out and look at each tool and the benefits of each.

Contributing: Many bloggers blog because they are passionate about a subject be it Travel, Cars, Sports, Clothing, or any other subject. Regardless of what kind of business you are in, there is a blog or web-magazine (some have started to call themselves that) that reaches your target demographic. Find these blogs, find the ones that are most active, and contact the blog administrator to see if they would be interested in having you contribute to their blog. Most of them will be excited about the opportunity to have an industry insider or expert write a story for their blog. If not offer to make your business available for an article and offer a tour if they are local. Most bloggers will be excited to work with you as it validates them as a actual news or information source, industry functions are starting to recognize the power of blogging and have extended press credentials to major blog authors.

PR Distribution: Bloggers are often overlooked when it comes to sending out press releases, many will dig up that information from a publication that has received your press release and post it on their site if it is relevant industry news. Why not make it easy on them and send them the press release directly, most likely you will see a major increase in your footprint on the web right away. Find as many blogs as you can, if you are using a bulk mailing service anyways it does not take any more time to send a press release to the bloggers who will likely post the story with a link to your website.

Enthusiast Blogging: If you are a true enthusiast about a subject that relates to your business start your own blog that talks about the industry you are passionate about. I love everything on wheels so about 10 months ago I started a blog called TheGentlemanRacer.com TM that is dedicated to the news and stories I find interesting in the automotive, motorcycle, and transportation world. The first few months required a lot of writing to get all the stories I wanted to tell and I back dated them to the time that they took place. This gave the blog a more establish appearance. The site also has space for advertisers that more than cover the operating costs, however, it also gives me a forum to place ads for the companies I am involved with, post press releases, and do feature stories on the businesses I work with.

So How does Enthusiast Blogging work? Well in 10 Months TheGentlemanRacer.com TM went from zero traffic to on average 3,000 people a day visiting the site for one reason or another, people from over 93 countries have visited the site. In the last 5 months the Facebook Fan Page has grown from just a handful of fans to over 2,600 with more joining each day. The blog is not dedicated to any one company, product, style of car or motorcycle, it is just a carguy site. Linking a your blog into a good social media strategy will only amplify the reach, to give you an example the very popular mainstream Auto-Blog has just over 375 fans.

Now let me remind you that under new Federal Laws you have to disclose any relationship you may have with a product or service you are promoting.

So get out there and start looking for some blogs that have impact or just create one of your own, now remember content is king so don’t dive in unless you are willing to really work at it. The rewards are there if you are willing to work the blog-o-sphere…
