Cool Tips for your Wordpress Blog

by Shane Flintoff

In this article, I am giving you useful wordpress tips which
you can use to not only increase your traffic, but also
improve your rankings and the ad revenue. These tips are
useful not only for newbies but for those who have their
running blogs.

Optimizing Robots.txt file: When you set up a blog, you
probably have many concerns over the activity of search
engines. There are certain pages which you dont want people
to find via search engines. There must be some way to
prevent them from crawling and indexing such pages. The
robots.txt file provides you such an option.

You can use the robots.txt file to mention the pages, feeds
and any URL which you dont want to get indexed in search
engine listings. You can even disallow certain bots from
crawling your pages. All this can be done by making changes
to your robots.txt file.

Use Pinging Services: Free pinging services are available to
tell search engines that you have updated your blog. Such
services are freely available. You can even get some
software to notify the pinging services about various blogs.
Everything can be managed in one click.

Update Frequently: The blog should be updated often. It is
important to keep posting quite often. This will send a
message to the search engines that you have fresh content.
It will probably result in better rankings and traffic. It
is best to update around 3 times a week. You can even
schedule the posts in wordpress so that they will be
published on the set date.

Encourage Blog Comments: There are various methods of
encouraging blog comments. You can install the plugin You
comment I Follow. Providing Do Follow comments is a nice way
to getting more participants in the ongoing discussion.

You should also not worry about the comment spam. You can
use akismet plugin to fight spam automatically. You can also
remove spam by moderating every comment. But take the time
to reply to comments.

Boost Your Affiliate Business Now!

Affiliate marketer, you want to make more and more sales from the promotion of the products or services you are handling. However the things seem to become very difficult every day and the results of your campaigns are not what you are in right to expect.

Fortunately there are some strategies that have helped the online marketers to increase their sales and continue to receive acceptable commissions pay checks.

Here are SIX tips of your earning strategy:
 
1. As you are using websites to promote the products or services don’t put all on one web page. It’s better to use multi domains hosting so that you have a website focusing on each and every product or service. You advertise only one product and service on one web page.

You have to add to your web page the your reviews to help the visitor to have an initial understanding on what your promotion can do to the people who have already bought from you. If you can, use your first customers’ names and photos’ on your web page.

People buy easily from sellers they know. On your selling pages you will use a social proof as the testimonials. Invite some of visitors to review your product on the marketing forums if you are the owner of the product. You can add case studies


2. The next step is to write articles highlighting theuses of the product or service and include them on the website as “Read More” page.Your articles must be very attractive and must call to act on the information. Take care to use such a headline that makes your visitor want to try, to read more and even to contact you to find out more.

Each article contains a ‘bio box’ and ‘byline’ that include references and contact information for your business. Well-written content articles released for free distribution have the potential of increasing your business credibility.
You can write articles to be published in e-zines that will help you to locate the publications that are focusing your next customers.


3. Set up a Blog. The blog differs from the website because its feature is to receive daily or regular posts, often around your single product or service. The blog creates dialog with your visitors and help you to explain the features of the product or service you are promoting.
The best part is that your blog offers an excellent way to gather feedback and to make sure your product or service meet the needs of users.


4. Everybody likes Free. Write and offer free reports to your readers. You can use them to grow your list building by joining a form which will be filled out to receive the report.
Many research results show that you need about sixth or more contacts before you can close a sale. Now you can build an autoresponder series to follow up the visitors who have filled up the form.
The information you will broadcast to their inboxes at regular period will bring their thoughts to the product so that the sale will be closed. Take care to make the content of your messages gives the main reason to purchase your product. You can conclude them with the important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. You can share this approach with your blog.


5. Now you need to build a stream of targeted traffic to your product web page or blog. Your articles and blog posts will help you to create traffic. You can use free or paid programs to deliver the targeted traffic but every source of good-quality traffic will either cost you TIME or MONEY. If you are on budget and want to use free traffic generation you need to invest much of your time and you know your time is money.
You make good posts on affiliate marketing forums to drive traffic to your selling pages.


6. The Social networking is more and more used in the online business marketing like Squido, You Tube, FaceBook and the growing one Twitter.
Twitter is now being recognized as a valuable marketing tool. Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time.
If you are not using social networking it’s the time to get started to build a best relationship with your prospects.




The above 6 strategic tips to make money with affiliates programs continue to work on the Internet. You only need to drive some visitors a day to your web page or blog. Note that only about 1 out 100 people are likely to purchase your product or get your service. So if you can deliver more than 1000 hits a day to your page and blog you can hope about 10 sales.


If you are still struggling in how to conduct your online business to profits, get a try for one affiliate program. After you can duplicate the process and build an affiliate empire which will bring you good paychecks.
