Vindication.....naaah

I ain't receiving no criticism, because no one expected anything. Yep I want that continued, thank you, your co-operation is appreciated. I am not on your regularly read blogs, and the best part is that, it leaves me unnoticed even if I post nothing for half a year ;) . I want Organic Traffic, I want people to come from Google.
So the thing I understood after all these ~6 months of almost life as busy as hell and partly denial on my side is that BLOGGING IS NO JOKE. Yes being regular is hell of a task, needs dedication. And the best and the worst thing after you've considered things like:
  • What is your blog about?
  • You think you can work that out?
  • You really sure! ;)
IS THAT REGULARITY COUNTS ON BLOGGOSPHERE LIKE ANNNYTHING.
(I guess you've worked these things out, and yes things like how to improve and improvise come after these points even after regularity)
And NEVER (yes I put that in bold) NEVER lose hope while checking out your stats during the first few months or maybe just forget about it in the beginning. You surely don't want to quit writing, only to find a couple of months later that your blog is getting enough clicks and features to keep you inspired to go on. I am very sorry to tell you search engines work slow(until and unless you own fb, being crawled multiple times in a single day), so just keep patience, if you believe in your quality content just wait and see, keep disappointment apart. I suggest just keep the stats counter to a side during the first few months.
Secondly I can't emphasize any more on BEING REGULAR. It helps like hell (some times even more than page-views, back-linking sites, sometimes even more than quality). Check out some stats(Yes, they are Alexa rankings after almost no page views in the beginning to so-so in the end, still leading to low ranking.)


And guess what lead to this.....just the difference lies in BEING and not being REGULAR.
I know this post will never make it to the top results on the search with such a NooB Title, this one's exclusively for regulars.

Change The Presentation Of A Blogger Weblog

Don't like the way author of the blog presents his blog. Or simply want to View blog in a more aesthetically pleasing way, without the advertisements and any other rubbish. Just if the blog fulfills the following conditions (as most of them do) you can try viewing them in "Dynamic View" mode.
Blog is public, has feeds enabled, and has opted in for dynamic view(in the Setting | Formatting tab).
All you have to do is put "http://www.BLOGNAME.blogspot.com/view/" in the address bar of your browser.
It has the following five viewing modes.

Blog Smart

This is a new blog, never mind, don't let your eyes roll down to the stats counter. You can always learn something from everyone. So here are basic blogging tips (with real time application on myself ;-) to make you blog smart. Yes I am learning too.

  1. First and foremost thing, the heading of your post must be explanatory, and attractive like use "Blog Smart" instead of "How To Blog", Don't fake it! Head and Tag your post sincerely.
  2. I don't say don't copy or borrow, at least no one produces the knowledge. Do borrow but do it open, put a link out there and give credit to whom you borrowed it from.
  3. Use Google to fullest. Yes you got it right, research before you blog. it has got two plus points first you may get some good points for your post, second you may altogether find a better post itself! So why work one more time just link the better one. If possible blog about something you find obscure to find you must have knowledge in that field and most importantly if you feel you can do it better then those out there, do it right away!
  4. Don't at all hesitate suggesting your readers for better blogs thinking they may leave you, always provide them ways to get it better and move upstream. Believe me, it helps.
  5. Don't advertise just as you are with your blog, it wont provide you enough anyway on the other hand you may lose your subscribers, focus on the quality of blogs.
  6. Make your subscribers read you in all the ways possible, rss, mobile, email or any other way, let them share your words on fb or anywhere else.
  7. Interact with your readers participate in comments and discussions, make the blog as down to ground as possible, if possible include screen shots and screen-casts for step by step work out!
  8. My favouraite point, I found it somewhere while surfing " A useful blog post once a week is better than low-quality content published daily " !
  9. Keeping in mind the above point maintain regularity don't disappoint your readers. 
  10. Last point always keep the Blogger's Code Of Conduct in mind. 
Try to keep content of your blog insusceptible to  time, i mean if someone checks out your blog after a year or so of your posting, and still finds it precise and relevent, won't it be great! Always keep eyes open, learn from the blogs you read and MOVE ON MAN!
