Blog Traffic Tips: 20 Easy Ideas
February 24, 2010 by Mike Gates
Filed under Blogging
Follow these simple blog traffic tips, and you will have a loyal following of readers!
Create interesting content.
1. Be unique. This is perhaps the most important thing you can do for your content.
2. Post often. Post once a day when you are a new blogger. The content of the internet is constantly updated, so constantly updating your content will give it legitimacy. Let people know that your blog is a reliable information source.
3. Be consistent. Once your blog is established you can decrease your posting to 3-5 times a week, but don\’t drop below that! Consistency is key in frequency and in voice.
4. Show your humanity. Whether you are blogging about politics, recipes, business, or horseshoe variations, you don not have to be afraid to share who you are as well. People may be interested in your content, but they will be loyal to you.
5. Post pictures, videos, and links. This will add to the richness of your content, and also increase its SEO (search engine optimization) rating.
Get involved in the online community and make your blog feel like a community to your readers.
2. Encourage comments. Newbies judge a blog as much by the amount of comments as by the actual content, if not more. Think about what you look for when you go to a new blog. So make sure there are comments! Engage your readers. Always ask questions. And if you want some extra insurance, talk your non-blogging friends into adding comments. No one will know the difference.
3. Host a contest. Reward your loyal followers and gain some new ones by offering a contest related to your theme. This is especially helpful if you have a product you\’d like to promote. Promotional giveaway of your first book, anyone?
4. Exchange links. Find a website which shares your niche and participate in a link exchange.
5. Use social networking. Take advantage of Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on blog activities.
Become known as an expert.
1. Go to Yahoo Answers and LinkedIn Answers, and start answering questions.
2. Join online communities and forums, and join in the discussion.
2. Get involved in online communities and forums.
4. Create a Squidoo lens. Share your knowledge via Squidoo to hook them in, and link back to your best blog posts (a couple blog posts) to keep them coming back for more.
5. Publish an ebook. Once you\’ve amassed a solid stock of blogging material, create a book. With easy online, self-publishing options, this is an easy tactic to increase your standing as an expert and your revenue.
Promote your blog in the \”real world.\” Offline promotion can be a useful tool, and when strategically employed, it can give you a great advantage.
1. Enlist your friends. Whatever you blog about make sure they know to casually mention your url whenever the subject comes up. \”You\’re interested in raising exotic animals? Well, there\’s this great blog…\”
2. Find your niche in their offline hangout. Is your blog political? Go to a coffee shop and make some new friends.
3. Find allies in local leaders. Much like Tip 2 above, this is all about finding out where your target audience goes when they get out into the real world, but with less spectacle. The goal is to make contact with local leaders and encourage them to endorse and recommend your blog. A leader could be anyone from a doctor to a florist depending on your audience. Just make sure they tell your potential audience that you are a great online resource.
4. Use fliers. Put them up where your niche hangs out. Give them to experts to give away. Advertising on paper still works if you know your target.
5. Read aloud from your blog at an open mic night. If you don\’t mind public speaking, this can be a great tool, especially for a blog with a creative bent.

Bengals Beat Pats In Lackluster NFL Preseason Contest
February 22, 2010 by Ross Everett
Filed under Blogging
When the biggest play of a NFL football game is an extra point, theres a good chance it was a dull contest. Such was the case in rainy Foxboro, Massachusetts as the Cincinnati Bengals edged the New England Patriots by a 7-6 score. The big play of the game? A point after touchdown by the Bengals backup kicker, none other than wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.
After the game Ochocinco was in rare form talking about his love for European soccer:
\”\’Esteban\’ Ochocinco is back, the most interesting footballer in the world. Everyone has to remember, I\’ve always said that soccer is my No. 1 sport. I think Ronaldinho would be proud of me right now.\”
To punctuate his fondness for the sport known as football in the rest of the world, Ochocinco whipped out his iPhone to display a picture of him with former England captain David Beckham. He then continued his comedy routine:
\”Soccer\’s my first love, Kicking\’s easy … like riding a bike. I can kick them from 50, 60 yards, left or right hash mark. … I kicked all through high school.\”
Ochocinco was pressed into service as a placekicker when Shane Graham complained of a sore groin in pregame warm-ups. Rather than take any chances, head coach Marvin Lewis let Ochocinco take his place.
Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker, another emergency placekicker, wasnt buying Ochocincos talk about kicking being easy:
\”It\’s not easy. To kick that is something, and he got real good height on it.\”
The Patriots could only manage two FGs, while Cincinnati scored their only touchdown on JT OSullivans 24 yard pass to Chris Henry. OSullivan was also amused by Ochocinco\’s PAT, but emphasized that his receivers athletic versatility is no joke:
\”Nothing surprises me. All joking aside, he still kicked the ball through the uprights and it ended up winning the game. Some people might think its funny, but it\’s important.\”
The Bengals continue their NFL preseason play on Thursday, hosting the St. Louis Rams. New England will be back in action on Friday night as they travel to Washington, DC for a game against the Redskins. Cincinnati will kick off their NFL regular season schedule on Sunday, September 13th as they host the Denver Broncos. The Patriots will get their campaign underway on Monday, September 14th as they play the Buffalo Bills at home.

Jets Win Their First NFL Preseason Game By Beating Giants
February 22, 2010 by Ross Everett
Filed under Blogging
A week after being named the New York Jets starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez rewarded his first year NFL coach with a victory. Rex Ryan got his first win at the helm of the Jets as his team held off a 4th quarter comeback to nip the crosstown rival New York Giants 27-25.
NFL preseason betting enthusiasts who took the Giants as +3 point underdogs were rewarded with the outright victory. The Jets improved to 2-1 against the pointspread, while the Giants dropped to 1-2 against the money as they dropped their second straight ATS verdict.
Sanchez finished with 149 yards on 13 of 20 passing and a touchdown pass to former University of South Carolina standout receiver Chansi Stuckey. After the game, he was pleased with his effort and the victory:
\”You get a little more confidence when you know your coach believes in you and has named you the starter. It was similar to that at SC. Once you\’re the guy, you talk a little different, you walk a little different and you act a little different.\”
Giants defender Mathias Kiwanuka was even impressed with Sanchezs touchdown play, which came with two defenders right in his face:
\”I thought we had him. It was a great play. You have to give him credit for seeing down the field with two guys in his face.\”
Sanchez remembered it thusly:
\”It was one of those plays where you get hit throwing it and you don\’t really see what\’s going on. You kind of listen. I knew if it was a big roar, it was probably a big play by the Giants, maybe an interception and I\’d have to get up quick. But I heard a quiet roar and I said: \’Oh boy, I think he caught it.\’\”
Winning coach Ryan was pleased with his young QBs effort:
\”He was poised. He is what we thought he was.\”
Giants QB Eli Manning finished with 91 yards on 9 of 21 passing with a touchdown and interception. He also had receiver Steve Smith drop a wide open pass that would have gone for a touchdown. Afterwards, he sympathized with his receiver:
\”Sometimes it\’s good to get those out of the way now. I know Steve feels bad about that. He hasn\’t done that all training camp. I know he won\’t drop it next time.\”
The Giants finish up the NFL preseason slate with a trip to Foxboro, Massachusetts to take on the New England Patriots on Thursday night. The Jets wrap up their exhibition schedule by hosting the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants will get the NFL regular season started with a big game against their divisional rivals as they host the Washington Redskins on Sunday, September 13th. The Jets will start the season on the road as they travel to Houston for a game against the Texans.

Colts Look Sharp In NFL Preseason Win Over Eagles
February 22, 2010 by Ross Everett

The Indianapolis Colts offense was in high gear on Thursday night as Peyton Manning threw two TD passes in three series of action, leaving backup Curtis Painter with a 14-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles before exiting the game. The Colts went on to win 23-15 in NFL preseason action.
Manning hadn\’t been happy with the offense\’s lethargic opening game performance, and was in much better spirits after this game:
\”I think everybody wanted to be in there. The entire offense felt hungry after last week. Sure, there were some mistakes we can learn from, but there were some good things we can learn from.\”
\”I don\’t think anybody offensively was really happy with what happened last week. It started with me and the entire offensive starting unit. Overall I thought everybody came back and did a better job tonight.\”
Colts head coach Jim Caldwell was also happy with the performance:
\”They [the starters] had a couple of real good solid drives in there, performing pretty well. We were pleased with what we saw.\”
Eagles coach Andy Reid, meanwhile, had little good to say about his team\’s effort which wasn\’t surprising after a performance with little intensity or focus:
\”All in all, that was an embarrassing performance and way too many penalties, not enough intensity all the way around, starting with me. It was a poor performance.\”
The Eagles were missing a number of starters and looked nothing like a team expected to contend for a Superbowl berth.
The Eagles will start the regular season with a road game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, September 13th while the Colts will host the Jacksonville Jaguars

Patriots Rip Giants To Complete NFL Preseason Schedule
February 21, 2010 by Ross Everett
Filed under Blogging
Undrafted Brian Hover played the entire game for the Patriots and may have earned himself a position as Tom Brady\’s backup with a solid all around performance as New England topped the New York Giants 38-27 in the NFL preseason finale for both clubs. Hover passed for 242 yards and no interceptions on 18 of 25 passing. Most impressively, he didnt get rattled as the Giants broke from the gate quickly to post a 21-0 first quarter lead. The Patriots finished their NFL preseason slate at 3-1, while the Giants slumped to a 1-3 mark in exhibition play.
NFL football betting enthusiasts who took New England as +3 road underdogs cashed their tickets with the outright win. The Patriots evened their preseason ATS mark at 2-2, while the Giants dropped to 1-3 against the number. New York won and covered their first game of the preseason before dropping the next three straight up and against the spread.
A free agent pickup out of Michigan State, Hover threw for one touchdown and led three more long drives that culminated in paydirt. BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for three touchdowns and after the game praised Hovers play:
\”Brian did a good job of controlling our offense. We mixed it up.\”
Green-Ellis had an impressive game himself, with 125 yards on 29 carries. Afterwards, Patriots coach Bill Belichick had terse but positive comments about his play:
\”Ben does a lot of things for us going back to last year.
As well as that of QB Hover:
\”Not bad. He handled the ball fairly well, threw it accurately.\”
The Giants biggest personnel decision at the moment is their third string QB, where Andre Woodson has the inside track despite a less than stellar performance. Woodson went 6 for 19 for 98 yards with one interception. Afterwards, he gave his take on the game:
\”It took me a while to get into my rhythm and it was the worst possible game to have that happen. Last year I knew I was going to be cut. … This year is different. It\’s going to be tense.\”
Starting QB Eli Manning played one series and backup David Carr played three before handing the reins over to Woodson for the rest of the game. Afterwards, Manning summed up his teams mindset:
\”I think everyone is ready for the season to get going and start playing for real.
The Giants will start playing for real next Sunday as they host the Washington Redskins in a NFC East battle. Theyll head to Dallas in week two for another divisional tilt against the Cowboys. The Patriots will start their regular season next Monday night as they host the Buffalo Bills.

What Are Benefits Of Blogging For Small Business
February 10, 2010 by Mike Gates
Filed under Blogging
There are several Benefits of Blogging For Small Business. Blogging stands for web log. It is similar to a website in that you can add content, text information. But it is not like a website in that it does not have the functionality of a website. But if you are not a web technician type of person then a blog has the advantage that it takes little computer skill to build one and to maintain it.
But it is more than adequate for the small business owner who wants an online presence at no cost. The advantage of the blog compared to the website is that you do not have to pay hosting fees. You can find free blogging services on the internet. They differ a little in the various features but the bottom line is that they are free. You cannot beat that.
Let us say you are an expert in a particular field. Le us say it is in your business. Then you can create a blog and offer great and valuable information on your blog that people might not be able to find anywhere else. They will come to your blog because they know they can get great information on a regular basis.
If you are not familiar with search engine ranking this refers to how high your site is listed on the search engine results pages. You want to appear on the first page of the search for a particular key word related to your online business. The great advantage with blogs is that since they are updated frequently search engines rank them high on their results pages.
The good thing about blogs is that the search engines love them. Blogs are ranked high on the search engines because they are usually updated with fresh content. Search engines reward sites that have new content related to a specific keyword or phrase. Your job is to make sure you post if not everyday with new information related to your website then at least three to five days per week.
The blog will cost you time but it will not cost you money. It is free to create and free to maintain. You will not have to pay a web master to create your website and you will not have to pay staff to keep it updated if you choose to do it yourself. And if you are used to a word processor then you can maintain your own blog. It is that easy.
Even if you paid someone to build your website you would have to pay that person to continually update it. Because a website with no new content will stop getting visitors. If you went to a website over and over and saw nothing new would you come back? No that is why a blog is great because people want to see your most recent post.
You will get regular visitors. And people can sign up for an RSS feed. This means they will get an automatic message letting them new you have made a new post to your blog. For the small business owner this is a great way to establish an online presence.

Going Green Can Save You Massive Amounts Of Cash!
February 5, 2010 by Robert Holdsworth
Filed under Blogging
The Question: \”How can we afford to \”Go Green?\” The Answer: \”You can\’t afford not to!\”
As companies and institutions everywhere are asking, \”How can we afford to go green?\” Others have learned that the real question should be, \”How can we afford not to?\” Between the savings from energy efficiency, government incentives, rebates and well structured financing and lease options, energy projects can be excellent investments rather than daunting expenses.
By taking a carefully planned \”whole facility\” approach, companies can target both the \”low-hanging fruit\” (such as lighting upgrades and maintenance solutions) and a combination of other equally significant and cost effective solutions (such as available technologies to improve the efficiency of HVAC, refrigeration, equipment loads, etc) to achieve substantial returns. The efficiency gained across multiple load categories will amass to very significant reductions in overall energy consumption and costs. Often, these savings can help to fund more expensive, longer term solutions. Experts all agree that increasing energy efficiency is the most important and financially prudent step any business can take in \”going green\”. By reducing demand and consumption first, the scope and cost of secondary phases (such as adding renewable energy sources) can be better controlled.
Many government and utility programs have been designed to reward companies following just such an approach. For example, New Jersey\’s Pay for Performance program returns up to 100% of the money spent for design and 50% of the money spent for implementation which significantly reduces payback time and increases R.O.I.
Furthermore, equipment lease or rental agreements can be used to eliminate out of pocket and capital expenditure costs and immediately enrich cash flow. Structured properly, these agreements cover the entire project cost and have such low monthly costs that they are off-set by the savings. In other words, the monthly energy savings outpace the monthly lease payments creating additional, immediate, unexpected cash flow and profit for the facility.
In addition to cost concerns, companies are often interested in knowing how energy reduction programs will affect their operations. A professional, well designed system should improve lighting quality, enhance occupant and employee comfort, reduce wear and tear on system components and improve equipment performance.
So again, the answer is, \”You can\’t afford not to go green\”.

Top Tips for Energy Conservation At Home
February 5, 2010 by John Gerace, PhD, PE
Filed under Blogging
One of the hottest topics at the moment regards our impact on the environment. As such, we are all looking at ways to cut back on the amount of energy we use. As with many things, this energy conservation begins at home. Here is a selection of top tips to help you cut down accordingly.
Two of the biggest wastes of energy in the home are inefficient use of heating and cooling systems so, as a first step, ensure these are well maintained. Secondly, try notching your thermostats down a degree or two; you shouldn\’t feel the impact too much physically but you sure will financially. Also ensure your air conditioning unit has good airflow, and any obstructions are removed.
Household appliances are also big users of energy, notably washers and dryers. Ideally, washing should be line dried in the fresh air. This obviously is a big saver, but also adds certain freshness. If the dryer does have to be used however, try and do loads so that one load goes in as soon as another finishes. This helps to retain heat in the dryer and saves energy.
Another appliance that eats up energy is the refrigerator. There are not too many people that clean the rear of their refrigerators all too often but, if this is done weekly or at least monthly, dust will be kept to a minimum and the refrigerator will operate much more efficiently. Also, the seal around the doors should be checked often to ensure there are no leaks wasting energy.
Ovens and stoves should also be well maintained; dust, grease and grime reduce efficiency and vary the cooking temperatures produced dramatically. It is also worth having a thermometer to use in an oven to get the exact temperature, as LED displays are not always accurate. A side benefit of the thermometer is that you will likely find that your food cooks better.
These are only a few basic steps to help get you started with home energy conservation. Once started, you are sure to find many other areas you can cut back on or make more efficient. Not only are you helping to do your small bit for society, but your bank balance will look a whole lot better too.
