Blogprofitz Update – yeh! The Blogprofitz guy has seen sense!

As a quick update on yesterdays post re the BlogProfitz launch

OK, HERE’s THE GOOD NEWS…

I told Scott that he was mad to close the doors at 500 members. Unfair too! Result! He agreed and BlogProfitz is now being closed at 1000 memberships sold. He’s also expecting their servers to get hammered. So, it’s important to jump on board now, Sheesh with a trial one month sign up of around $20 and cancel at any time what’s to lose?

Personalizing Your New Blogwam Blog – Part #1

Once you’ve got your new blog up and running under your control then you have some things to consider;

• Do you want to give it YOUR voice?
• How are you going to market/promote it?
• How are you going to add new content?

I’ll cover all these points eventually, but let’s start with some sidebar personalisation…

Twitter – Who Has The Most Followers?

Twitter, to me, was like texting – something I rarely if ever do. But there’s no arguing the fact that Twittering is the latest BIG Web 2.0 application to simply explode. Seems the world is divided into those who Tweet and those who don’t. Internet Marmite!

Personally I’m happy to add the ubiquitous “I Tweet will you follow” icon on a sidebar of my blogs but only because I’ve got the Twitter Tools plugin installed…

Meta Title and Description length – Optimum?

When I first looked in to the MSN Loophole thing it reminded me of basic ‘on page’ SEO techniques generally and while doing that I bumped into one that we should use every time we make a post but usually don’t.

I’m talking about a post or page’s META Title and Description and squeezing the right amount of letters ( and spaces) in there for maximum effect.

As usual, being lazy and in a hurry, unfocused and scatter-brained, I’d made the mistake of forgetting the basics. But,Google is ALL about the basics!

Putting Amazon Widgets Into Your Blog – Is It Worth It?

In times gone by Amazon’s affiliate account was a waste of time- 4% commission on a $9 paperback? Forget about it!

Well I don’t know if you’ve been to Amazon lately but 4% – 6.5% of the purchase price of a Rolex watch or 90″ Plasma TV is worth a new look I reckon!

If you’ve just purchased a blog from me at auction or privately then you’ll know that I’m happy to host it for you for up to 3 months, while you find your way around its bells and whistles and start to play with it, but eventually you are going to have to bite the bullet and set up a  hosting account of your own.
