Choosing which blogging platform to use is one of the most important decisions that you can make as a blogger. The right platform can make blogging a breeze, and the wrong platform can make blogging a chore. Because the program that you use to blog with is such a powerful part of your blogging experience, it is well worth putting in the time to find a platform that provides your ideal balance between a user-friendly interface and a flexible framework that allows you to make your blog look and feel unique. Finding the right platform isn’t always easy, but with a little bit of contemplation and a little bit of research, you will be on your way to finding the perfect blogging platform.

Deciding what your priorities are in terms of ease of use versus customization. Most highly customizable blogging platforms, like moveable type, are a bit more difficult to use than very automated platforms like wordpress. If you are new to blogs and to internet technology, you might want to sacrifice the ability to create a custom background design or to integrate a unique font into your template in order to find a program that will be easy for you to use. On the other hand, if you are a veteran web designer with knowledge of html or javascript, you will probably find the limitations of a user-friendly platform to be frustrating.

There is no such thing as a blogging platform that is objectively the best platform, because every blogger has unique needs. The blogging movement is very much about individuality, so it makes plenty of sense that there would be many different platforms available that are designed to meet the needs of different kinds of individuals undertaking different kinds of projects. This diversity is a good thing, because it means that you will almost certainly be able to find a program that suits your level of technical aptitude.

However, the fact that no two bloggers need the same thing from a blogging platform can make your search for the right platform a bit tricky. When you are reading reviews of different platforms, try to keep your priorities in mind and do your best to take into account the position that the reviewer is coming from. For example, a negative review written by an accomplished software designer who complains that a popular platform is too limited may tell you that the platform in question is ideal for a beginning blogger. There is no such thing as the perfect platform for everybody, so instead of looking for the “best” platform, look for the best platform for your specific criteria.

As a trader, you have to forget about finding a sure thing. You
must accept the fact that the stock market can do anything at
anytime. If you are not convinced, consider that there are
millions of traders trading for institutions, funds, investors,
swing traders, scalpers, etc… all acting together in different
time frames and using different types of analysis.

Fact: Trading is not about guessing the future because it cannot
be done.

If you accept this fact, then it is much easier to take losses
without destroying your self-esteem. You take a trade, you
accept that you don’t know what will happen next. You have no
expectations that this trade will turn into a winner. Your only
expectation is that something will happen.

So how do you make money not knowing what will happen next? You
treat trading as a probability game. Here is an example of a
probability game:

Let’s say I roll a dice:

- I pay $1 each time I play - If I roll a 3, a 4, a 5, or a 6
then I win $2. If I roll a 1 or a 2 then I don’t win anything.

Clearly, every time I roll the dice I have no idea what the
outcome will be. But I know that for every roll the odds are in
my favor. In the long run, I will win 4 times out of 6, which
means that I will pay $6 to win $8. I will be a consistent
winner if I play long enough.

In mathematical terms, your expected win each time you play is

(4/6) X $2 = $1.33 meaning $0.33 profit (you pay $1 to play)

Another version of this game could be that you win $3 if you
roll a 4, a 5, or a 6, and nothing if you roll a 1, a 2, or a 3.
In this case the expectation each time you play would be

(3/6) X $3 = $1.50 meaning $0.50 profit in the long run

So how do we translate this into trading?

Each time you roll the dice, you don’t know the outcome, the
same as for each individual trade. But each time you roll the
dice, you know the odds are in your favor to make money, and you
will make money if you play long enough.

So for each trade you enter, you must know that the odds are in
your favor to make money. As you can see in the second example,
it does not mean that you have to win more often that you lose.
It also depends on how much you win when you win and how much
you lose when you lose.

How do you put the odds in your favor?

You have to develop a trading edge using technical analysis,
fundamental analysis, market internals, etc.. You have to have a
number of variables that must be present before you enter a
trade and always use the same set of variables. Your edge is
your strategy to enter and exit trades and should be well
defined in your trading plan.

All that can be summarized as follows:

- For each trade you take, you don’t know the outcome, you
accept that anything can happen, and therefore you have no
expectation for that trade.

- You believe in your trading strategy, that is you believe that
for each trade you take the odds are in your favor.

- You believe that the outcome over a series of trades is
relatively certain and predictable.

To go back to the dice example: will you get mad or feel stupid
when you don’t roll a winning number? No because with a dice you
accept the fact that you cannot know the outcome. You have no
expectation. Apply the same idea to your trades and save your
self-esteem.

This idea of treating trading as a probability game made a big
difference in the way I feel about losses. I learned about it in
“Trading in the Zone” by Mark Douglas. I strongly recommend this
book.

If you have a good trading plan, with a strategy to enter and
exit trades, then a successful trade is one for which you
followed your plan, not necessarily a winning trade.

And remember, you will never know if your strategy works if you
don’t follow it.

You may have heard about the blog and ping technique that some of the guru’s are proclaiming will skyrocket your traffic into the stratosphere. Did you realize that you are contributing to spam and slowly killing your own site and giving yourself a bad name? If you are or are just curious then read on.

There are a few software programs about that are basically promoting or at least encouraging blog and ping spam. If you are new to blog pinging then you can brush up on blog ping.

The blog and ping process that I personally dislike, not to be confused with a blog ping, is where software is used to spam ping services. We all know spam is bad. The manual process they use goes like this.

• You set up a free blog account.
• Add the free blog RSS feed to your My Yahoo page.
• You post to your blog every 15 minutes for several days.
• You then ping blogging services to let them known about your Splog.

Now this process encourages spam blogs or splogs and saturates the blog services that allow pings. The idea being that this creates traffic.

Now rather than promoting blog and ping services and making a few bucks in commission I am going to let you know about some free software that you can use to complement your blogging and generate some traffic the right way.

Pong

Pong is a free desktop ping application that notifies blog tracking web services about updated blogs and feeds. There I copied that directly from the Pong site as I could not say it any better.

Pong allows you to ping the blog indexing services once you have made a new post on your blog. It’s a real timesaver and because it’s desktop based you can use it along with your web based or desktop based blogging software.

One of the Number 1 traffic building secrets is adding content to your website. Have you ever considered that a blog could be the tool that makes this very possible, fast and extremely easy to do.

Blogs are written in RSS or Atom, both very effective content managment systems. Getting a blog for free is easy at www.blogger.com. After you set up your blog you need to change your settings to archive daily so you have a new page of content every time you make a post to your blog.

Blogging daily is best if you want to add new content every day. If you archive daily, then post each day the blog software will generate a new page of content for you. It’s definately the fastest and easiest way to add content.

The best way to integrate a blog into your website is to make your website into a blog. If you have fresh relevant content on your blog then top search engines like Google will return more often to gobble up that fresh content. That means your site will be spidered more often, and if you just built another page you want spidered, just leave a link within your blog posts to that page and the spider will follow it.

This is a great way to get your pages spidered fast. But it’s important to have the pge you are linking to be somewhat related to the topic of your post. Google is getting more picky about the content of the pages where your incoming links are coming from.

Also, it is important to optimize your blog just as you would for a website if you want to get theat free targeted traffic. Optimizing is easy, include your keywords within the title and description of your blog, as well as in the title posts occasionally. And don’t forget to include the same keywords within the link text of your incoming links to your blog.

Most bloggers don’t see the traffic potential their blog holds if it was oiptimized just like any other webpage.

One more factor to consider: Google loves blogs Not simply because it’s a blog, but because of the nature of blogs; They usually have fresh relevant content on a specific topic. That’s what Google loves. Give it what it wants and it will visit you more often.

Leah J. Bradshaw is the author of the Free Targeted Traffic Report; “Jumpstart Your Traffic in as Little as 10 Days”. She also authors a Moms Free Traffic Blog to help work at home moms get free traffic.

Here is a pretty cool lesson in the structure and travel of information in the Blogosphere (that’s bloggers on the Internet talking to each other about each other). If you haven’t read the book The Tipping Point yet, then you are really missing something because it sets the foundation for how future electronic communications are going to happen in the future.

Using The Tipping Point definitions, there are four types of people that historically served to unleash a social epidemic or an “IdeaVirus” as master Seth Godin would say.

I’m arguing here that the truly successful people on the Internet (meaning the ones making a fantastic financial living and who are also communicating with the most individuals on a consistent and constructive basis) will be the ones who can hone each of these talents and essentially create an uber-information dissemination model that will work to protect our individual freedom as well as secure the public welfare!

Connectors: These are the people who have made connections with many, many people. They spread Idea Viruses by mentioning them to everyone they see and still maintain at least low quality level communications with.
Mavens: These are the people who know everything there is to know about one or many subjects. These are the obsessive bastards that we can only see on a semi-annual basis by choice because their OCD personalities drive us to the edge of our sanity. Mavens are very important because these are the people that everyone goes to when they need information. They become what Seth Godin calls “Heavy Sneezers,” which are people who, when they give advice or information, you damn well better to listen to them because it’s like it’s coming straight out of Yoda’s mouth.
Salesmen: These are people who could convince you to purchase a debilitating disease for yourself if they talked long enough. These are the truly impassioned actors of our society, much more animated than even the best movie and television actors. If you don’t believe me, then just listen to that voicemail again–I’d buy anything from that guy.
So the truly successful people on the Internet will be, in a sense, super-human with the ability to connect to people, gather massive amounts of information about topics people want to know about as well as develop a unique style of delivery that appeals to peoples’ emotions and we will begin communicating in a BlogoCentric way.

Here is how it happens: Some dumb ass takes a funny voicemail he receives as an e-mail attachment that was part of a mass forward; he changes the communication medium to something accessible to a few technologically enlightened people now (I’m talking about podcasts here). A major podcast expert, Blogger and Connecting information Maven who is also developing a particular style of communication that appeals to people at large Salesman, picks up that voicemail podcast on the unknown dumb ass’s site and directs thousands of Internet users towards this little nugget of information which just happened to be something most folks were willing to invest their time in listening to: a funny ass voicemail where a guy witnesses a traffic accident that ends up with four old grannies beating the crap out of the loudmouth who caused the wreck in the first place.

Some of these people stopping in to review a particular piece of information begin looking around your site, which contains all sorts of great content. Some of these people will even leave their e-mail address with you so that you can send them your newsletter and keep them up to date about what’s going on with you. Some people will even become lifers when it comes to you–they will put you in their circle of trust and look upon you as a necessary information resource that makes living life in modern day society easier.

And the wonderful truth is that each one of us is an expert and is passionate about at least one thing. We can each become information Mavens who Connect easily with people and communicate with them in a distinct way that attracts and holds their attention. And we can use the the current information tools which allow immediate quality exchanges of information. This communications process will completely revolutionize the way human beings share knowledge, ideas and emotion.

It’s Blogocentric Communication and I will be further exploring this fascinating changes of human social evolution in my upcoming book Flipping the Temple which will only be available through http://JoshuaMinton.com.

If you’ve been into Internet Marketing for a while, you probably remember the old traffic exchange programs and the banner exchange programs. Things change fairly fast on the Internet, and now there are blogs and blog traffic exchange programs. If you have a blog, and getting traffic to your blog is important, than you need to know about blog traffic exchanges.

First, blog traffic exchange programs work much better than the old traffic exchange programs did. If getting traffic to your blog matters, getting set up with one or more of these exchange programs is vital – no matter what your niche market is. This will considerably increase your readership very quickly.

However, there are some blog traffic exchange programs that really aren’t worth joining. Participating in a blog traffic exchange program does take time. In some cases, you will be able to purchase your credits, but in order to get the traffic without paying for it you will be required to visit other member’s blogs. This typically gets you one visitor for every two blogs that you visit – and the visitors that come from blog traffic exchange programs are not targeted. This means that there is no guarantee that the visitors coming to your blog from the program have any interest in what you blog about.

If your blog is highly specialized, meaning that it is a very specific niche, you probably won’t do well with blog traffic exchange programs. However, if your blog is of general interest, meaning that it isn’t specific to any particular niche market, blog traffic exchange programs may work very nicely for you when it comes to getting traffic to your blog.

Blogazoo at http://www.blogazoo.com is one blog traffic exchange program. However, there are many steps you must take before you can register your blog. For instance, you must visit ten other blogs before your blog will be listed. You must register to use the program. However, there are many features at Blogazoo that will be useful to you if getting traffic to your blog is what it is all about for you.

BlogClicker at http://www.blogclicker.com is also worth consideration. You visit other member’s blogs to earn credits. For every two visits to other blogs, you will receive one. You can also purchase credits instead of visiting the other blogs. Two other blog traffic exchange programs are Blog Crowd at http://www.blogcrowd.com and Blog Exchange at http://www.blogexchange.com.

The best blog traffic exchange program available today is Blog Explosion at http://www.blogexplosion.com. Like other blog traffic exchange programs, Blog Explosion is free to join, and only one account is allowed per person. However, you can add multiple blogs to your account. You can refer new members and earn 10% of the traffic that they earn. Blog Explosion has full statistical reports that you can view, and many member features and tools.

At Blog Explosion there are monthly contests with free visitors as prizes, there is a monthly traffic lottery, and the Battle of the Blogs. You can also win daily mystery credits. There is a member’s profile directory where members can find blogs of interest, chat rooms, a Podcast directory, and a knowledge directory. You can even rent your blog space to other members. This is why almost 30,000 bloggers choose Blog Explosion over the other blog traffic exchange programs. Remember if you are trying to build up a readership for a niche blog, blog traffic exchange programs may not work well for you.

Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last year, you’ve
heard the term “blog” once or twice.

To most people, a “blog” simply represents a glorified
online “diary” where geeks, computer nerds, and lonely
teenagers record their thoughts in cyber-space.

However, many people don’t realize that “blogs” are quietly
revolutionizing the way companies and customers interact
about everything from existing products to new ideas and
improvements in customer service.

In short, “blog” style communication has come of age and
anyone with an online business better sit up and take
notice fast!

In the beginning, “blogs” were basically an online diary to
record your thoughts; but “blogs” have now evolved into
dynamic websites that non-technical people can update
immediately without html editors or ftp programs.

Blogs allow their authors to make instant website updates
through a computer anywhere in the world with a Web browser
and Internet connection.

Blogs also allow readers to respond to the author’s posts,
provide additional information, links, expanded opinions,
and more.

In short, an active “blog” creates an interactive community
with the author as the hub and the readers as the spokes of
the wheel that keep the whole cycle turning round.

Unlike traditional “static” web pages where content rarely
(if ever) changes, an active blog evolves in a state of
constant and never-ending renewal.

With blogs, smart online businesses re-discovered a
principal that small “mom and pop” stores understood for
years: know your customers and stay in close tune with
their wants, needs, and desires.

Large companies throw billions of dollars down a black hole
every year to literally “guess” what people want to buy.
Most call it the “Marketing Department.”

On the flipside, smart online businesses understand that
blogs allow you to avoid guessing what’s on your customers’
minds and provide an active and up-to-the-minute means for
them to tell you exactly what they do and don’t like about
your services, products, and virtually any other aspect of
the market.

This lightning fast communication makes it possible for
small companies to literally snatch huge market share away
from more traditional companies.

Blogging also has a distinct advantage over traditional
email newsletters in that subscribers can get udpates
without having to receive an email message. Through the
power of RSS (real simple syndication), subscribers get
notified of updated content though an rss news reader.

Bottom Line: publishing a blog with an RSS feed that your
readers can subscribe to means your content NEVER gets
blocked by a SPAM filter.

Blog software basically comes in 2 flavors: hosted and
stand-alone. Hosted blogging solutions make it extremely
easy to get set up with a blog, often in just a couple of
minutes.

If you know how to type, you can create a blog. Log on to
Blogger.com and you can set up a blog free of charge and
start posting in just a few minutes.

Blogger.com (owned by search giant, Google) will even host
your blog on their servers.

Typepad.com, which charges as little as $4.95 per month, is
also an excellent hosted service offering additional
features that enable you to quickly get your own blog up
and running.

The alternative is stand-alone blogging software installed
on your own website.

A very popular solution is Moveable Type, available from
moveabletype.org, which provides a very versatile and
powerful suite of tools for creating a full-featured blog
to rival that of any size company in the world.

<-- Side Note -->

This is the solution I’ve chosen for my blog at

http://www.IGottaTellYou.com/blog/

<-- End Side Note -->

Whichever blogging solution you choose, if you plan to
successfully conduct any form of business online,
understand that a “blog” must form an integral part of your
overall plan for customer communication and interaction.

Bloggers blog. That’s what they do. A blog is short for ‘weblog’ and it’s really an online journal that can be updated easily and frequently without any knowledge of HTML code.

Traditionally, article marketing has been used by authors who are promoting their books or information products. Lately, I’ve noticed a growing trend of bloggers using article marketing to grow the traffic to their blog and you should too.

Three reasons why it makes sense for bloggers to engage in article marketing:

1) You’ve already got a lot of content produced in each of your blog posts. 200 words should be your floor for each article that you produce. In some cases, you already have enough words per post to create 10-50 articles instantly. If you don’t, then stitch posts together of a similar theme until you have 200+ word articles to put into article marketing distribution.

2) A blogger has the same traffic building problems that any typical website has, and therefore article marketing can help your blog in the same ways it can help a non-blog website. Benefits include qualified traffic coming to your site year round, quality backlinks being built without any messy recip-linking campaigns, and you’re expanding your reach to other experts that might not otherwise have found your blog.

3) Bloggers by nature are more Internet savvy than your typical author. With this said, most bloggers already understand how to create revenue with pay per click (PPC) advertising programs. As such, you already know how to produce keyword intelligent titles for their articles. This guarantees maximum traffic impact for each of your articles.

If you are already a blogger and are new to article marketing, here’s how you get started:

1) Produce a cache of 10-25+ articles from your existing blog content.

2) Submit them to the major article directories and any that are niche-relevant to your field of expertise. You may also wish to submit them to ezine publishers directly from your niche.

3) Rinse and repeat until you have 250-1,000+ articles in distribution this year. Hire a college student or editor if you don’t have time to get this strategy into practice as it’ll be well worth it.

4) Watch your traffic counter slowly rise, day by day as your articles work hard for you delivering qualified traffic to your website year round.

Article Marketing as a strategy will not break your traffic counter on your first month of investing in this strategy…but, I guarantee if you engage in this strategy, your blog will grow in traffic and popularity beyond the traffic you were already creating by simply blogging. You knows, you might even increase your sales, land a new job, or improve your rank in the search engines as a side-benefit from your article marketing strategy.

I know, I know, blog this…blog that. Seems like everyone is on the blogging bandwagon these days! I admit that I’m not quite there yet, but I’ll be joining the blogging club soon.

Why does blogging work to reel in web site visitors? Read on…

1. Search engines LOVE blogs. Blogs are usually focused on a particular niche, so they have lots of subject-specific content that’s well-organized. This makes it easy for the spiders to read the content because there’s usually less graphics, scripts, flash, etc.

2. Content tends to be updated more frequently than web sites, which the search engines love. If content doesn’t change very often, they tend to visit less often. Search engines also like that there are lots of links because they index sites by following the links.

3. There’s no special programming or HTML skills needed so if you love to write and are an expert in your field, you can be up and running in no time. Before you know it, you’ll have lots of web site visitors reading your articles with anticipation.

4. Subject-specific articles generate tons of traffic! Let’s face it. Many of us publish Ezines in order to get people to visit our web sites, and if we publish the articles on our website, we gain an even better chance of people finding us.

5. Blogs accomplish the same thing, only it’s much easier to write your article and publish it immediately than it is to write content for an Ezine, format it, test it, and then publish it, only to find out that half of the emails were blocked by spam filters!

6. Increase your subscriber list. You can subscribe to blogs in the same way you subscribe to Ezines. Simply sign up and you’ll receive notices when the content has been updated. Plus, the notices don’t contain HTML, which means that the notification will be more likely to get past the spam filters.

7. It’s cheap! Many services like Blogger offer it for free. Why spend tons of money creating the perfect web site that needs lots of search engine optimization when you can be up and running with your own blog for free, or at a very small monthly charge? What an inexpensive way of generating traffic!

There you have it. Six good reasons to build your own blog. Now what are you waiting for?

How To Create Your Own Blog… and Why It’s So Useful!

http://www.iprofitdistributor.com

First, a quick definition for those who do not know what a Blog
is. Quite simply, it’s a Web Log. In other words, a regularly
updated page of your thoughts, ideas, links - whatever.

It’s very easy to publish a Blog these days and today I’m going
to show you how in a few easy steps. Don’t worry - all the
sites, services and tools involved are fr’ee.

Before we go ahead I should first explain why a Blog is so
usefull. A Blog provides a number of benefits to you and your
site and all for very little effort.

1. A Blog will add valuable content to your site. This in turn
increases repeat visitors and increases the frequency the Google
Page Bot (and therefore how often your site listings are
updated) will visit.

2. A Blog can be updated very quickly (especially using the
technique I show you below). It’s much faster to update than
editing your Web Page or sending out an e-mail.

3. Blogs can be delivered as RSS Feeds and this means a user can
download software to have your Blog delivered direct to their
desktop as and when it’s updated. You DO NOT have to pay for
sites such as Quikonnex or the new Cory Rudl software. RSS Feeds
are NOT new and you shouldn’t have to pay for what is
essentially a fr’ee technology!

Do you now believe you should publish a Blog? If you do, just
read on, and see how easy it is!

First join Blogger.Com - this is a popular Blog service (there
are others) that makes the whole process as simple as possible.
You just register your details and a title for your Blog.

Why choose Blogger? First, the Google Toolbar has a “Blog This”
button that makes updating your Blog childs play. Click the
button, and you can publish direct into your Blog immediately -
including a link to the web-site you’re currently on!

Second, Blogger will add you it’s directory and to a
notification service AND they will let you publish to their
site, though you can set FTP settings to publish to a page at
your own domain. For now we’ll publish to Bloggers host service
“BlogSpot” since they are fast and the only thing they add is
one banner at the top. You may also get featured as one of
Bloggers daily blogs and gain massive traffic.

Blogger also has a range of templates and you can even edit
these directly to personalise your Blog, right down to adding
ads or links to your own site (Tip: include a navigation bar).
Blogger will also archive your Blog and insert links to your
archived months.

Blogger will create a Blog for you in a few steps. At the
Blogger.Com main page click on “Start Now” at the top. Enter
your Username, Password and Name and away you go.

Once you have your account validated log in and create a new
Blog. This is just as simple as creating a user account. Enter a
Title and Description, and leave it as a “Public” Blog. Then
select host at BlogSpot. Create a subdomain for your BlogSpot
then select a template. You can create your own templates but
that requires extensive HTML knowledge.

That’s it! You have an account and a Blog setup. There are other
settings to explore. You can set “Ping Weblogs” to YES in the
Settings/Publishing option to notify Weblogs whenever you
publish. You can also set “Show Title Field” and “Email” options
to provide Titles to your Blog Entries and email a copy of your
entries to you. Everything else is OK at as it is.

With your Blog at BlogSpot and your Google Toolbar installed Go
to –> http:/ oolbar.google.com <- just set the Blogger function
in the Toolbar Options and then click the `B` button in the
Toolbar intself. There you have it - one instant Blog entry.

How To Use Your RSS Feed

If you left the Blog settings as standard your RSS feed is at
your BlogSpot Address as atom.xml - the number of entries
depends on your settings in Blogger, but it’s usually a weeks
worth. Although the Atom feed doesn’t hold *every* entry the end
user’s client software stores all entries as they come in. Your
website Blog has complete on-line archives.

Blogger itself has a lot of help if you need it, so it’s time
for me to sign off. Happy Blogging!
