Zemanta - If a picture…..

Monday, April 28th, 2008

I recently came across the site zemanta.com. Their tag line appears to be
Zemanta gives you:. Pleasure” whilst this may lead some people’s imaginations to run wild and avoid visiting the site I would strongly recommend a visit.
Zemanta enables your browser to understand what you are blogging about and suggest pictures, links, articles and tags to make your posts more vibrant.
Its concept is simple: It gets the images from Wikimedia Commons, Flickr and various stock photo providers, and lets you pick them out and place them into your post.
They are suggested based on contextual comparison of your text and the image’s title, description and the articles they were used in originally.

Check out the video below to see what Zemanta can do to your blog.

Making Money with Your Blog

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Have you got a blog?

Do you make any money with your blog?

Well Shannon Herod has just launched Blog with Success which the sub header announces as “A Step by Step System to Wordpress Domination”. (You can get a discount at the end of this post).

Many WordPress blog owners have become disappointed as their blogs have not yet paid for them to give up their Day Job! They were told (by the Gurus?) that all they needed to do was set up a blog, make a few posts which would drive extraordinary amounts of traffic to their sites and they would be able to sit back and count the cash.

Great idea but as we all know it doesn’t work like that. It is very possible to drive traffic to blogs but they absolutely must be set up the correct way. The optimized way.

The great thing about WordPress, is that there are a ton of options available to you to optimize your blog not only to search engines, but for Web 2.0, social bookmarking, audio and video, and much much more.

The bad thing is that if you don’t know where to find all the add ons, which ones are most effective or how to set them you can spend days banging your head against the wall and searching for the best way to set everything up and still not be sure when you had finished.

Now with Blog with Success you can get everything laid out for you in a super simple proven step-by-step system.

This system comes with a graphically packed PDF file that takes you by the hand and walks you step-by-step through every crucial aspect of setting up your WordPress blog.

I hardly ever finish the PDFs that I download or if I do I skip through and retain little. I much prefer to watch someone actually doing it so was well pleased that the system comes with over 20 videos to show you exactly what to do, step-by-step including :

* how to easily install WordPress in 3 minutes flat

* the three simple tweaks guaranteed to skyrocket your blog to the top of the search engines

* two plugins that will take your stagnate blog to SEO stardom

* the absolute easiest way to tag your blog posts

* surefire ways to make the search engines fall in love with your URLs

* how to quickly and easily add video and audio to your blog

* and much much more

If you want some proof of how effective this system can be, watch the video on the sales page where Shannon shows you how he gets ranked No1 on google for the keyword “Best Internet Marketing Strategies” and others.

Blog with Success is a great system. I will be using it to improve my blogs and will let you know the results and would love t hear about yours. Go ahead and post a comment below, and let me know how you get on.

Multiple Blogs + Single Installation = Free Time and Income

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

If you believe in a one stop “get rich quick” solution to making money on the internet then stop reading this now and get a Day Job.

If you would just rather believe that the way you are doing things at the moment is not the most efficient way of doing things and are prepared to work at not having a Day Job then read on…..

If you have been online for any length of time, then you have heard the term “Blog”. You may even have a few in your own marketing bag of tricks.

Blogs have been around for a long time now, but it’s really only been within the last few years that online marketers have discovered just how profitable they can be.

Because blogs can help generate a tremendous amount of traffic to your website(s), which means you are getting more eyeballs on your offers and generating more sales.

While a typical website can take hours to update, a site built around a blog can be updated INSTANTLY and search engines quickly take notice, literally ’slurping’ up new content.

So when you create a blog and use a variety of keyword related posts, you can easily profit off of the results, which search engines like Yahoo and Google deliver.

For example, if you build blogs around your own products - or even those of someone else - it won’t be long before hungry buyers looking for that product happen upon your blog.

And that just makes the whole sales process a breeze doesn’t it? Rather than try to convince someone that you have what they need, with blogs you can present hungry buyers with EXACTLY what they want.

There Is No Other Method As Effective Or Powerful As Blogging…

JP Schoeffel’s Blog Matrix Pro will help you quickly and easily build your own empire of niche blogs…entire websites based around any topic or market to just about dominate specific targets within that market!
