How to Write Killer Blog Posts for your Blog!

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Alok Vats

When I started blogging I was not having much knowledge about it. Slowly-slowly I came to know about it. I know that my English is not that much good that I can write some killer articles, but still I am happy that few people really like my blog posts.

Yesterday I suddenly reached to a website where I found the article which I actually published at Four Steps to Increase the Google Ranking of your Older Blog Post!

Then I realized that I am also becoming popular now as far as my writing abilities are concerned. When I Google some more posts of mine then I realized that there are many people who are simply copying and pasting the ditto article written by me. They don’t even realized that they should also provide a link to my article as the source of the post.

Surprisingly, I found that they did not even bothered to change the links which I gave in between the posts and thus I realized that I did a good work by maintaining a few links in between my posts. Here are some of the tips which can help you to write some killer blog posts which can actually become popular in the world of web.

How to Write Killer Blog Post?

Chose the topic wisely

Some people think that they can write on any topic, but it is not true. You cannot be an expert in all the fields. Frankly we all are having experience in some specific fields, and can write good on those particular niche only. So the very first step towards writing killer blog post is the selection of the proper topic on which you can be able to write something special.

These days Google is emphasizing more on unique and informative content, so always try to chose the topic wisely so that you can be able to deliver some quality information to your readers. This way you can also be able to get the love from search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.

Killer Title

Second thing which can provide your new blog post the much wanted popularity is the headline or the title of the post. While writing the title of the post you should clearly understand that it should be meaningful and your post should not divert from the title.

Remember one thing; it is your title only which can bring a new visitor to your website. I know that you can be able to write great posts, but what about a new visitor, he can deviate after seeing uninteresting title. As many people say that first impression is the last impression, so always be ready to create a good impression on the visitors of your website.

Conclusion First

Although I myself did not give much emphasis on this but I always consider this as the best practice to think about the conclusion first, much before starting the article only. Once you have the idea about how you can finish your article you can shape it in a much better way.

It does not mean that you should write the last paragraph of your article first; rather it means that you can plan the end of your post in advance so that your article can actually reach to the same conclusion and it should not deviate in between. I am sure that those who start writing something, sometimes unwillingly reach to something else only, and thus readers lose interest in reading unrelated post.

Tips when you get stuck in between

It is quite natural that you started writing something, and in between you got stuck due to some unwanted reasons. For many people who don’t know much about blogging, writing blogs are the easiest work, but believe me it is not that easy, and it is not a cup of tea which everyone can be able to drink easily. You can have many deviations while writing a good post. Many a times I too stuck with many things and thus unable to finish what I started.

Things which I normally do while I got stuck with something, is to take a break of around ten fifteen minutes and then I have seen that I can be able to write fresh things. Sometimes I have seen that due to some break I would not be able to finish one write up, and thus I lost the momentum on which I was writing the same. Thus later on, I would not be able think about in the same manner in which I started writing the topic, so what I prefer is to either close the topic for some days, or I start writing the same again with some different thought.

After Writing Tips

Writing killer blog post is not that easier as we discussed above, but yes these small tips can always help you to write some great posts and people will also love reading them. Also remember one smart tips (which frankly I did not be able to do), always do revise the content of your post once you finished writing. If you are also like me that you did not get a chance to read the article once, then apply the trick which I use to do, simply before publishing the article create a list of tags and go each lines of your post to create the tags. This way you can be able to revise it too, and you can create some good tags too which can help your blog post to get some search engine love too.

Importance of Keyword Research in Blogging!

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Alok Vats

A few months back I published a blog on how to use your blog as a branding tool. After publishing the same I received many mails in which the sender were looking for more tips for blogging. Yesterday I was reading the same blog and realized that I should write something about the most important criteria required for the success of the blog, i.e. the keyword research.

As I mentioned many times in the past that blogging is one of the finest and powerful marketing tools available these days. Believe me, blogging is not only considered as the marketing tools, but it is also used as a tool which can build your brand. Overall, everything starts from the posts.

One of my friend, who is the owner of a small business, planned to develop a website through which he can be able to sell the products which his company is manufacturing. I suggested him the way through which he can be able to attain more and more visitors, and that came through creating a blog. But creating a blog is not enough, you always need to manage the same too.

All set, I created a good looking e-commerce website for him, integrated the payment gateway too, and the online shopping store for him was ready. I also designed and developed a good looking blog too for him, created a few write ups too for beginning the same. Two sales within a week time was good for him too. Everything was seems perfect for him, but there was one question which was arising in the mind of my friend and it was, now what?

This is something which comes in the mind of regular bloggers too. This situation can be termed as bloggers block. Anyone can face this shortage of blog post ideas, and this can be removed with the help of the keyword research. Frankly speaking, keyword research is the backbone of the success of any blog, after all traffic is something for which every blogger is eying for, and some decent traffic can be easily achieved with the help of targeting some good keywords.

If you ask me then I can say you that for getting search engine love you need to target some good keywords and without doing the research you wont be able to decide which keywords you need to target for your blog. Here are some of the keyword tools which can help you to do the research with the keywords.

Google Adwords Keyword External Tool

If you are also stuck with the new blog post ideas then Google Adwords keyword external tool is something which can help you out to get fresh ideas for new post. You can anytime search for any keywords and Google Adwords tool will provide you insight for the relative competition of the keyword along with how often the particular term is searched for. It also provides a few suggestions related to the same keyword.

Thus if you go by my choice then always opt for the keywords which has decent monthly search volumes, but less competition. Thus you can easily chose some keywords and prepare a list of some new titles on which you can work upon.

Google Searches

One of the finest tool for keyword research is Google itself. Whenever I do stuck with new blog post ideas, then I always prefer Google to suggest new ideas to me. A few days back Google started the option of Related Searches with Google search which use to give some good ideas to me, but don’t know why Google removed the same from last few days. Still, whenever I do need the new blog post ideas I use to go for Google search and search for some related keywords and it gives me lots of ideas for writing new blog post.

Keywords Questions from Wordtracker

Although, a few years back Wordtracker was my first choice for doing the keyword reasearch, as far as Search Engine Optimization was concerned, but lately I shifted my focus towards Google Adwords External Keywords tool for doing the keyword research. But a few days back I came to know about the Keywords Questions, one of the free tool provided by the Wordtracker, and I really became a fan of the same. This tool can be found at https://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/keyword, a place where you can search for a single or short keyword and this tool will return you a list of questions which will include the same keyword and which are searched by people in search engines.

Well apart from all the above mentioned ideas for writing new blog post, I usually use Google Analytics to get keywords ideas. Normally anyone can search for such keywords which no one can be able to think about and this can be found from looking at the Analytics data, and thus you can get some fresh ideas about your new blog post.

Ultimate Benefits of the Guest Blogging!

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Alok Vats

Although I have written a lengthy post on the top 10 benefits of guest blogging in past, but then I realized are they enough for us to spend many hours to write a great post and then ask some one to publish the same on his or her blog and surprisingly we do all these for free. Is not it surprising that we work so hard to create a blog post and that too for some one else blog?

Those who are reading this post, I will first ask them to read my old post of top 10 benefits of guest blogging, and then I am sure you can understand after all what benefits we internet marketer gets from working hard on writing guest posts. Still if you had any doubt, this post will surely clear all your doubts about why should we spend so many hours to write guest posts for other’s blog?

There are actually three set of people involved with the guest blog, and a good guest blogging experience will allow all three of them to win something. Let me explain. The first set is you, who write guest blog for free. A great post will give you more credibility, name, fame, exposure, and new visitors. This is all an internet marketer always looks for, is not it?

The second set is of the owner of the blog who published your post on his or her blog, also known as the host. Big question is that after all why will he or she publish your post to the visitors of his blog? Quality content, this is something which every blog owner wanted to deliver to his audience. You wrote a great post and hence the blog owner will surely like it to publish on his blog. Ultimately he will be happy to deliver something great to his audience base.

The third sets are the visitors of the host blog. What benefit will they get from guest blogging? Well they will get one unique and informative blog on some topic, it might be a great experience for them and they can be able to gain a unique perspective too.

Are these benefits enough to spend so much in the form of time, research, and hard work to write a guest post? I guess No, there are still many more benefits which guest blogging provide. Frankly speaking, one of the best is the self satisfaction and gratitude. You would never understand the happiness which we blogger get after publishing a post by our name in a great blog. It might be possible that the host blogger is a huge name in his field, but still once he published your blog and his fans started liking it, it gives immense pleasure to the author. Comments, compliments, all these increase the morale of the guest blogger and inspire him to deliver the same in his own blog too.  Also the fans of the host blog now start recognizing you too and will surely consider visiting your blog too. They might like it and become a fan or subscriber of your blog too.

Hence, you are able to create a connection with the subscribers of a great blog, who actually don’t even know you or your blog too. Thus, you made a great path for your success through other’s blog.

The best thing is that, there are not many people who seriously take it as a serious affair and create great posts for guest blogging. So the competition is less, and the blog owners are always looking for quality content, and they always welcome it to publish on their blog. So the chances of you getting accepted as the guest blogger are too high, if you have the ability to write great posts. Remember one thing, the benefits of guest blogging is not automatic, you need to work hard to get all the benefits. The more you will give to your host, the more you will take as a guest.

I will be writing a few more posts related to guest blogging and publishing them here, also those who are not aware that I also accept guest blogs then I will request you all to read this blog of mine: Be Guest Author with Latest Technology Blog!

Choosing the Right Mobile Device!

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Alok Vats

With so much choice on offer when it comes to buying a new gadget it can be tricky deciding on the right one to meet your requirements. The laptop has long been the ideal computing choice if you have a wide variety of chores in mind, thanks to the recent spate of laptop deals, the decent specifications, practical screen sizes and a full keyboard layout they were always the device of choice.

However, more recently things have become a lot more interesting thanks to the advent of the tablet computer. While netbooks were starting to replace laptops in many cases, lots of people are now discovering the potential of the tablet instead of any kind of conventional computing gadget.

What started it?

Without doubt, the Apple iPad was the gadget that got the ball rolling in the tablet marketplace. Not only was it the first, the handheld device is backed up by an enviable mountain of apps that allow users to boost the functionality of their tablet. Not only that, the iPad is well made and beautifully designed, even though the original incarnation had its flaws.

However, since the iPad 2 was unveiled, the tablet has become a huge seller while at the same time it has inspired a stack of rival tablets from manufacturers around the globe. In that respect, the advent of the tablet computer has been a revolution for consumers, because you’ve now got a choice of devices that run a variety of operating systems.

Which one to buy?

So which one do you buy? Well, the good news is that you can pick a tablet with an operating system of your choice. If you’re a fan of the Google Android operating system, for example, then a tablet armed with that OS will deliver no-nonsense performance and durability, while also offering a range of apps from the Android Market.

In fact, it’s the apps side of things that makes the whole tablet concept increasingly appealing, because it’s these add-on programs and software that make them all the more useful for a variety of uses. While a laptop or netbook is fine for day-to-day computing tasks, the sheer variety of apps on the market means that a tablet can be customised to carry out all manner of different tasks.

Pros and cons of apps

While apps can transform your computer task list, it has to be said that many rival tablet devices leave rather less to be desired when it comes to overall quality of the software. One of the main benefits of the App Store from Apple is that all of its listings are carefully approved beforehand. There are lots more of them too. While it is possible to download apps for other tablet operating systems from a variety of sources, it’s this core quality control that makes the iPad one of the best when it comes to computing on the move.

And, adding to that is the high fun quota offered by the gaming angle on an iPad thanks to its potent processor power and top-level graphics. As an all-rounder then, it’s a pretty hard one to beat on most counts.

This Guest Post was contributed by Rob Clymo, who writes on behalf of Broadbandgenie.co.uk, the online consumer portal for researching offers from broadband providers UK and the latest choices in netbooks, tablets and smartphones.

How to Use your Blog as Branding Tool?

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Alok Vats

A few days back I wrote one post on how to develop the online branding and authority of your website. In that post I mentioned that blogs are the best ways to achieve the same. That is true, but the concern which comes in our mind is how? I mean how to use your blog properly so that it can become as a branding tool for yourself.

Many of my friends always ask me that you waste so much time on blogging, so is there any point in wasting so much time on blogging. Frankly speaking a few of them always ask me that do you earn something from your blogs. Well, truly speaking, I never thought about monetizing my blogs, other than the Google Adsense program, and a few other ad slots. That too I am using just because I wanted to recover the costs which I am putting on running these websites.

Frankly speaking, from last few years blogs has evolved as a much powerful tool to brand your business. Not only from the point of view of doing business, but blogs are also helpful in developing personal branding too. You can also earn from your blogs.

Truly speaking branding is a never ending process, and you are always required to do something to achieve the targets. With the help of your blog you can easily create a database of some great loyal fans, which can always subscribe to your blog, and follow your ideas. If you can establish the fact that you are an expert in a particular field, which you can easily do with the help of your blog, then you can easily get customers for your services.

Also developing a brand is really difficult while it can be destroyed within a few seconds only. It will take around years to build a brand name, but with the help of a few words in your blog post you can easily hurt the same too. Frankly speaking with the help of the blog posts written by you, the readers always form an image of you and your business. Thus if you can be able to create a great image in his/her mind then he/she will surely follow your suggestions.

You must ask me that any one can be able to write great blogs, but then how my blog will be different from others? Here are a few tips which can help you to create a brand with the help of your blog:

Unique Design:

You always need to pay attention to how your blog looks like. Always remember that first impression is the last impression. A user will always decide about you, once he/she will land to your website or blog, on the basis of design only. There are a few things which you always need to remember about the design of your blog. The most importance aspect among them is color combination of your website. Prior attention is required to choose the color combination of the website, as in our real life our dressing sense reflects the personality of ours, similarly the color combination of our website will reflect the personality of our website or blog.

Try to choose simple looking designs, as the user should not face any problem while navigating the site. No matter how well you have written your blog posts, user will always consider it of low quality of the design of your blog is not of good quality.

Content is King:

As we always say that content is king. Once after having the Panda update, Google is again emphasizing on the quality of the content and its uniqueness. No matter how well you designed your blog, if your blog posts are not good or useful to the user, it will always harm your brand value, plus you won’t be able to get the love of the search engine too. Many people claim that do the SEO of your blog post, but as I am an SEO from last seven years, I will recommend not thinking about search engine while creating your blog post. Always try to create the blog post from the perspective of the users, which is actually also the basis concept of the search engine optimization too.

Consistency:

Consistency is the most important factor while establishing brand value. When you are using your blog as the branding tool then you must need to be consistent, so that you can increase your followers. Many people will consider consistency as writing blog post on a daily basis. It is not like that you write daily blog means that you are consistent enough, rather the consistency means you should always follow the same guidelines. Fix a goal for your blog and then always create posts considering the same goal in your mind.

Consider this question in your mind, why will we read your blog? Okay that your blog is ranking at first position on the first page of the Google search, but you take it in this manner. You consider yourself as an user and search for the same keyword on which your site is ranking, then visit your blog and ask yourself if your blog post has provided enough information to you as far as the searched term was concerned.

If yes then it is really good, else you should need to check your blog.

Be Unique:

One of the finest tips which I can give to anyone who is thinking about using blog as a branding tool is to be unique. Always try to write unique contents as search engine will also like the same, plus the user will also remember your blog once reading it. Always try to do something which can spread the name of your blog as a virus. We always know that mouth publicity is the best, so always try to create blogs in the manner that people will start discussing about the same and your blog will spread like anything.

Provide Much Information:

Provide much information simply does not mean to provide all the information which your blog is about, rather to provide all the information about yourself, or about your business. Once a user reached to your blog, then he/she should not think about how to opt for your business, rather he/she should have all the privileges through which he can always either look for your business or contact you or to purchase the services provided by you. Many a time blogger who do business blogging forget about providing more information about their business on the blog. I would tell you all not to do the same mistake. As I was working for one immigration company in past, I created a blog for them, and provided some banners mentioning their services in the blog design. The trick worked as the blog started attracting targeted people and the design converted them into the customer too. So never forget to provide all the information about your services on your blog.

This is all which I can provide you at the moment as far as using your blog as branding tool are concerned. The best which I can ask you all is to share whatever you have the information about the same, so that I too can be able to learn something new and the readers will also have some more information about the same. So I would request you all to share your comment if you re having some tips related to the same.

How to Develop Online Branding and Authority?

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Alok Vats

You are a good brand as far as your offline presence is concerned, but you don’t have any identity in the online world. You must have spent some good time and money to develop a good looking website for your business, but you are not aware that just developing a website will not create your online branding or authority.

Sudden question arise, what do I need to do to develop online branding and to build the authority for my website? Well, let me first ask you a question that do you know the difference between developing online branding and to build the authority of your web based business? I am more than 100% sure that for many people both are same.

In fact, there is a huge difference between the two, online branding is the way through which you promote your online business and get much more exposure through online marketing. It is as simple as creating a blog or a social media account (like in facebook or twitter) for your site and then to promote the same. While on the other hand, building authority is something which comes at a later stage. You can build the authority for your website when you already have developed online branding for the same.

Simply speaking online branding is to create identity for your website, i.e. to increase the online presence of the same, while building authority is to get repetitive and loyal visitors to your website.

How to proceed:

Well the very strong step towards creating online branding and building authority is to develop a blog for your business. Not only developing a blog will work, but then you need to update the same with fresh, unique and informative content on a regular basis. I am sure that you people are aware that Google simply loves fresh, unique and informative content. Not only that, Google also loves the websites which update its content on a regular basis.

Here are the top three reasons why you should create a blog for your business:

The very first one is that blogs are the easiest way to rank your website in search engine result pages. As I said already that Google loves fresh, unique and informative content, so they always give preference to the good blogs over other results for any search.

The second reason behind using blog for developing online branding and building authority is that blog will provide you a great resource to share it in the social media networks. You can always share your blog posts in the websites like Digg, Stumble Upon, Delicious, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter etc. Not only you, but on a later stage people will automatically share your blogs in these networks. I have seen many so called SEO personals to share the product and sales page on these websites, which is actually not a good way to promote your website. It will be hated by other people who are already active on those websites. On the other hand if you are sharing useful articles on these websites then I know many people will like them and thus you will get the visitors as well as the love of these social bookmarking and networking websites.

The third and the last reasons why you should create a blog for your business website is it is the easiest way to help your brand to build authority in the niche of your website. If you can be able to produce awesome content on your blog, then you will sure to get love from other webmasters and from experts of your niche.

Which platform to choose for Blog:

A question which always confuses many people is that, which platform they need for their blog. The first problem is that many people did not understand weather they need the sub domain of their own website to create the blog or to use any free website like blogger, or wordpress.com, for the same. My response on the same is that, always choose your own domain or sub domain to create blog. There is no point in creating blog on some free website and working hard on the same.

You can always go for WordPress.org script to create blog on your own website. It is one of the simplest and most powerful mean to create blog on your own website.

Challenges behind blogging:

Well there are a few concerns or challenges which can stop you to implement blogs to build online branding and authority for your website. The very first one is that you should not deviate from the niche which you are targeting. You should fix the niche first and then create blogs which relates to the same niche. It is very much required. There is a chance that you can deviate from your niche, and you should always keep an eye on the same that your blog should not deviate from the original niche.

Second quite common concern or challenge is that many people think that what need to blog about. They always feel uncomfortable about choosing the topic to blog about. But the fact is really different. Anyone can find something to blog about. You just need to think smartly and convert your own ideas into blog post.

Other quite common fear or challenges behind blogging is that many people fear that sharing your own ideas will reveal their trade secrets and their competitor will take benefit from the same. But in my opinion this is not true. If you ask me then I will tell you to share your knowledge with your visitors, and I am 100% sure that many of them will understand that you are knowledgeable and will seek for your services on the same. It will grow the confidence in your customers for asking for your services.

I hope that these are enough for you to think about starting a blog to develop online branding and building authority for your website or business. You can also contact me any time for any help with this regard. I will be glad to assist you on the same.

Printers Best Suited for a Small Business!

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Alok Vats

Small business owners must weigh up lots of factors in deciding which printer is right for them: should I get a colour laser printer or an inkjet instead; do I need it to be wireless; would I like it to come with a scanner? Here are some tips to help you pick a printer for your small business.

Wireless printers
If you want to be free to move around your office, a wireless printer is ideal for this purpose. And, as more businesses move towards using handheld devices—like mobile phones and tablet computers—wireless printers are likely to become more and more useful.

Printer with scanner
With a scanner you’ll be able to do lots of things that will save your business time and money. Imagine you’ve just closed a sale with a new customer and they don’t have a fax machine. How will you send them a signed copy of the contract? You could send it out in the post and wait a while to get it back, but you could also scan the agreement and send it through to them in an email. This will make the customer more likely to sign on the dotted line, you will get paid sooner and it will save money on postage costs.

A3 printer
An all in one A3 printer can be a wise investment for a consumer, especially if they like printing out photography. However, for a business, they can be indispensible. At the moment, if you need a poster or a brochure, you’re likely to visit your printers and waste lots of time and money in the process. When you have an A3 printer, though, you’ll be able to do everything without having to take as much as a step out of the office. Furthermore, there will be no need to do big print runs that make it more difficult to keep your literature up to date. If you introduce a new product tomorrow, you’ll have your brochure updated right away!

Printer with fax
These printers are very useful, especially when considering the large role faxing still plays in many work environments. Indeed, these printers are often built with small businesses in mind. They come equipped with the handy ability to store faxes in their memory, so if you run out of paper you won’t lose the fax.

Why is Backing Up your Blog Important?

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Alok Vats

During recent time online blogs has converted into a very strong medium of expressing your views. Blog is not an online diary anymore; it has converted into a very strong medium of earning along with expression of thoughts. Creating a blog is quite easy these days; you can either take the help of WordPress (one of the most popular blogging platform) or Blogger.

You can either need a domain name and web hosting, or you can also use the free sub domain provided by these sites to own a blog. Creating a blog is not an impossible task anymore. Maintaining a blog is sometimes a tough task. Many people although did not understand the importance of the maintenance of the blog, as they are not aware about the truth that they might lose their blog at any point of time.

I learnt this fact when I lost many posts of my latest mobile news blog, which in fact was having around 50-60 posts, when out of sudden I had a problem with the hosting provider of the site and then I realized that I don’t have the back up of the blog and thus lost many posts of the blog. I any how managed to get a few posts from Google cache of the site.

This incident taught me that taking the back up of your blog is important, really very much important. Here are some more reasons why you need the back up of your website.

Hosting Changes: You might have some issues with your present hosting provider and you wanted to change your hosting provider, but if you don’t have the back up of your blog then never think about changing your hosting provider as you are sure to lose many posts from your blog. Many a times your hosting provider might suspend your hosting for whatsoever reasons and you will become handicapped with no back up, but if you do have the back up then you can plan something different and you won’t lose a single post of your blog.

Safety of Blog Content: For me my blog posts are like some of my valuable assets, and I never ignore them for any reasons. I being the owner of my blog have the responsibility to save them from any accident, and it can only be possible if I do have the regular back up of my blog. Taking a regular back up of your blog will be beneficial in case of some kind of hacking or phishing attack.

Tension Free Blogging: To get a tension free blogging life you do need the regular back up of your blog. I do remember the pain which I face when I have some problem with any of my blogs and it gives me sleepless nights too.

I don’t think that you need any more fact in support of the importance of taking the regular back up of your blog.
