Dilemma of A Blogger - What, Why And How To Blog
Excellent article and i also have expressed my view on this subject at http://www.abhijitkar.com/life/dilemma-of-a-blogger-what-to-write.html and hope ypu guys like it.
It's based on 8 months of hard working to establish a blog with a PR 3/10 now, and Alexa rating of around 2,00,000 as on date.
It helps
Blogging helps, specially those that want to improve PR and incoming links to their website to improve SEO. at the same time you need to be careful which blogs you link to. Some can be detrimental to what you trying to achieve. find freelance jobs. Post your projects.
Makes sense
Blogging is great. then again it takes time to build those links and have people links to you. I think it takes patience. it has done wonders for my travel partners website.
ya that's true.. with the
ya that's true.. with the help of blogging i also make many link for Iphone Application Development
It is important that the
It is important that the blogs you choose interest you. Be sure to read the blog post because your comment should be an appropiate one. Contribute to starting a comment dialogue with the author or a conversation with other visitors and - add value to it.
It's true
It's true. You can only start to achieve successes after 3 months . . . or rather start seeing it. Some people that won't be working that super hard in the first 3 months and gradually work slightly less diving to a constant level of building links and adding more content daily, they will only start seeing the money pouring in after 6 months' time.

Both Links and Content are King!!!
Google does love content rich blogs. So, updating the blog with good content helps in getting indexed by search engines as well as gives the reader a good experience about the blog.
One of the easiest method to promote your blog is to ping it whenever it is updated.

Great info
thanks for the great article about blogging.
It takes a great deal of
It takes a great deal of inbound links to a blog to really get the ball rolling with the popularity metric in Google. And this takes a substantial period of time. Sometimes doing some linking work yourself can save you some time. However, if the content speaks well for itself, a blog can take off quite quickly with little other effort except pinging.
Blogging - advertisements
Most blogs are just advertisements, they don't even give you tips or info. The least they could do is add some content. I'm just complaining...
blogging and ads
sorry cant agree with you 'piustina' . its true that some blogs are made just for posting ads without any relevant contents. but all blogs are not like that, there are a lot of really good blogs with great content.
Blogging And Making Money By: Jeff Phelps
Here is a new free article posted to my blog now...good idea,
There are many bloggers in the internet that makes a decent living by just blogging. If you want to make money out of blogging, it is important to remember that not every blog is right for making money.
First of all, you should ask yourself why you blog.
Many people have different reasons on why they blog. Some reasons for blogging include blogging for recreational purpose, promoting an online or offline business, as a personal diary, to help others, to make friends, for fun, to become known and finally to make money.
Again, why do tou blog?
If you are blogging and making money, you should first understand the two types of earning methods in blogging: The Direct Income Method and; the Indirect Income Method.
In direct income method, you can earn money directly from blogs. In indirect income method, you can earn money because of your blog.
One great way to earn income from your blog is through affiliate programs. This program works by getting a commission for referring a visitor or reader from your blog website to buy a product or service from the company you signed up as an affiliate. To succeed in this type of method, you should choose an affiliate that is related to the topics discussed in your blog website. This is because visitors in your blog are targeted internet traffic; you don’t want to affiliate with a pet store if your site and blog is about guns.
Asking your readers for a tip may seem ridiculous, but it might work. If you already have a large number of loyal readers in your blog and actively participating in it, you can ask them to donate money for your blog. Remember that you should first create a large number of loyal readers before you ask for donations.
Another great way to make money out of your blogs is to sell stuff, like t-shirts, mugs and other small things that you can personalize. Create your own logo and post the designs on your blogs. This is great if your readers are loyal to your blog, they may want to buy something that would make them part of the group.
You can create a subscription based blog. Asking for payment to view your blog and participate in it would generate income. However, there are many blogs out there that may offer the same topic as yours for free. Since free is preferred more than fee, this type of method can rarely succeed. To make this work you may need to be a real expert on a specific topic.
Selling blogs is another way to make money out of blogs. For this, you may need to create a great website in order for it to sell. It should also have a large readership to make this work. You can successfully sell blogs in an auction sites, many buyers will take a look at your blog first and determine if there are a large number of readers and also take a look at the quality of the website.
Some readers will be someone who seeks writers to employ. If you write a good article about a specific topic in your blog, these people may probably hire you to write for them, either for their website or offline as a freelance writer for a newspaper or magazine. You and your skills are discovered through your blog. Your reputation is also important for this to work. Your blog should be able to attract large amount of readers and also remain loyal to you.
Another way to make money is through speaking opportunities. For this, you need to impress readers on what you write about in your blog. Readers can sometimes be a scout looking for someone to speak for their seminars or workshops. Some request might ask you to speak for a seminar for free and some might pay you. Do not reject requests on speaking for free; this is because it will be beneficial for your reputation. Be patient, more offers will come that will be offering payment for your speaking services.

Puis 4 Tina,
It is important to add value, as a guest visitor, to a comment on a blog post or ongoing blog conversation. Yes, you can add => for futher clarification take a look at my new blog post at: url... or to read more of my thoughts at: url. But you can not re-post and entire published article in a comment post.
When using re-print articles you must not change the article in anyway. In exchange for using the article you must re-print the entire article and have the author's resource box information attached to the article at the end. The author's credit - resource box is missing in the above re-print.
The resource box allows the author-- the opportunity to talk about him or herself - it includes the author's promotional signature, web site link and most importantly it allow's the author to build incoming links to his or her site. That link is a very valuable inbound link to the author who took the time to write the article.
I suggest you learn the basic "how to's" of blogging and the fundamentals of internet marketing. Here is a resource link to Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind Blueprint that can enhance your knowledge. I hope this helps!
Re: Blogging Success
yes.I agree with you.Blogging is the latest way to get traffic for a site within fewdays.Can you suggest me what are the alternative way to get traffic for a site ??
Blogs with tips seem to rule
From what I've seen, blogs offering tips for readers in a simple, bulleted format do really well, whereas human-interest blogs (more of a daily-journal style) don't get as much traffic. The problem we're having with our more human-interest-style blog at the moment is getting traffic, period. Once the traffic comes, I'll worry about getting links. Anyone agree/disagree about the tips vs. human interest content?
Re: Blog with tips
i agree with you there. but you must accept that there are exceptions. there are numerous technical as well as personal development blogs with very high. it all about building trust with the reader...
Blogging Success
Tristan,
Yes blogs offering tips or "how to" information or news like WebPro do well because the internet is the information highway. People are searching for information from their fingertips an in the convenience and privacy of their home or office.
Let me ask you...
Who has a travel agent any more? When you can go online research your travel destination, search and find the best airfare, transfers included, hotel, car rental prices and usually a major discount from buying online. How many times have you use the phone directory book this year? Most people are online searching for information to be informed in order to make better life choices and improve the quality of their life.
It appears your blog is set up correctly. Good quality content. Easy to read, easy to navigate - user friendly. I definitely think you are on the right track. Can it be tweaked to improve it - definitely. The 1st question I ask - what is the purpose of your blog? Is your blog doing what it was orginally designed to do? If the asnswer is yes -focus on generating more traffic to it.
Since you have identify offering "Tips" helps to build a blogs readership and repeated traffic Give your blog readers tips related to your blog's topic. Create And Offer A Special FREE TIPS Booklet or Newsletter to your visitors in exchange for their name and e-mail addresses.
You have worked to hard to get your blog set up and to have an online presence . Now you are working to generate traffic to it. Once the traffic comes don't worry about getting links from them. You have visitor's commenting.
Focus on encouraging visitor's to become subscribers of your RSS Feed and on capturing the traffic that visit's your blog with a free "Tips" Booklet. Continue to offer good information and encourage readers to leave comments.
Here is a link to a blog video that you can watch, get insight and make immediately changes to your blog. I hope you watch the video and take advantage of the information it offers. I hope this post has been helpful to you.
And with all the money you make ...
Why not visit Las Vegas?

Shelly Borrell,
You are right its about great content and giving the visitor - reader a good experience!
How do you define success???
One question I don't see anyone really asking here, and they should, is what exactly makes your blog a success?
And this answer is probably different for different people.
For some maybe it's the number of visitor comments...For others, it is how many people subscribe via email or rss feed...Or how many hits it drives to your main site...Or how many new products you sell...Or whether or not you are helping people.
I've been blogging about 6 months (http://www.marketing-junkie.com), and though I don't always get tons of traffic or comments, I consider my blog a success because other blogs are now syndicating my articles. As a result, more traffic is going to my main Website (http://www.success-stream.com) and my regular email newsletter list is growing faster than ever before.
Since I take a long view of business growth and success, I'm psyched!
If those folks like what I have to say they'll stick around. And chances are eventually they'll become paying customers, and more importantly, evangelists for my down-to-earth style of practical marketing advice.
So before you decide if your blog is working or not, you need a clear idea of what you want out of it. When you look at the big picture, success may not be what you think...
Best,
Stacy
Travel & Vacations
Just created a blog that has some juisy about travel and vacations.Will some one visit my blog and give me some advice.I am really open to new ideas that work.Talk to me pls.

Travel & Vacations Review
Not enough written content. Before you show ads... about selling travel. Talk to me. Forget about the ads! Talk to me like I was your sister, your mother or your brother. Ask me have I ever been on a cruise and enjoyed the ocean vs. flying over the ocean? Ask have I ever experience Africa? Ask me have I ever been on a cruise to Africa? Have I ever experience the pristine beaches, the warmth, friendliness and kinship of African people. Sell me on why I should visit you. What treasures Africa has in store for me. Why should I leave Brooklyn New York and make reservations to visit Africa or visit the city you lived in Africa. Then tell me my options that are available to travel there... show me the ads.
LET US PRAY.
Oh thank you Minsheyenwen my mentor,I just visited your site, oh so specail and ghreat.Thank you for coaching me.See check up this my new PRAYER blog and coment on the content.Thank you.I am still learning.
Links and Content together
They have to go hand in hand - if you have links and your content doesn't turn your casual visitors into readers then your blog cannot succeed.
Likewise if you have great content and advice that noone can find (and links are a great way to be found) then your time would be better spent elsewhere.
Combining the two will give you success and then you can take the next step and encourage your readers to view and recommend your products (e-books on body shpae in our case).
New to link building...
Kinda new to all this especially link building and gaining traffic a lot of it seems a bit over whelming at times. Can a few of you perhaps point me in the right direction? Where is a good place to start?
