I’ve written a little early 4 advantages of using your own name in the domain and now it’s the time to let you know what are the disadvantages of doing this. Unfortunately, there are a lot of disadvantages too, so you will have to read these two posts and decide what’s best for you. Unfortunately new bloggers don’t know about these advantages or disadvantages and take the wrong decision they later regret. You Can’t Turn it Into a Collective Blog It would be really awkward for more bloggers to write [...]

The majority of the bloggers are complaining that they have been blogged for a long while, even years, and they still aren’t able to increase their traffic and earnings from the blog. And the sad thing is that most of them believe they are working a lot and doing the right thing, but it simply doesn’t work for them. And they are wrong. Big time ! This is a guest post I’ve written for WeBlogBetter. Read more

I know 1,000 visits per day is not very much, though this blog is only a passion of mine and I write here because I like it, so I’m very happy it grew this fast. Unfortunately I can’t spend more than 2 or maximum 3 hours daily for this blog, so I try to  be very productive with it and the results are really great. I have used some of the marketing techniques I’ve learned during my career in internet marketing and I’m quite happy I managed to create a nice community [...]

Using your own name as the blog domain can prove to be very useful, especially for personal branding, because people will know who wrote the posts they’re reading and who’s behind the blog and this might help you a lot. Personal branding is very important, because it can get you better jobs and relationships. Also having a good personal branding will contribute to the way people look at you. It’s More Personal People love the feeling that they’re interacting with a real person and they will feel better when reading [...]

This post is part of a series. You can read the others here. A month has passed since I began this challenge and I’m quite disappointed about my achievements, though the stats look pretty good, just not exactly how I was expecting. It’s been another busy week for me and I’ve done my best to write one post per day on my blog, along with a few guest posts on other blogs. Unfortunately, still no one has published my guest posts yet, but I’ve contacted them and I will have some [...]

Today it’s October 10th, so it’s the time to pick the winner for my top commentators contest. Jeff Caceres won the contest with 104 comments in just 10 days. I have to say that Jeremy Litwicki has been on the second place, really close to Jeff. I also want to thank the other contestants and to let you know that a new contest will begin shortly, though I’ll probably have bigger prizes.

Lately Google has been doing test after test and they’ve just come with a big change today, showing website previews in the search results. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to try it out, because it doesn’t appear to me, whatever I tried doing. It seems like there is a preview button and I hope that the previews are not triggered by a simple mouse-over, because it would be very disturbing. I think this feature might help users to see if what they are searching for is there or not, and [...]

Backlinks and exposure are two important factors for every blogger and everyone wants them, though some struggle hard and don’t manage to do it. I won’t come with any mind-blowing ideas or blackhat techniques, but only 3 ideas that could bring you some backlinks, exposure and traffic for the beginning. While you shouldn’t blog for the robots, you definitely need to care about SEO and do your best to get better ranks on search engines. The search engine traffic is usually the best, because it converts very well and is [...]
