Automatic Blogging with WordPress

by

Wordpress AutomatedThis is a very simple WordPress tutorial on one of the most most unused features found in your WordPress blog. Okie, I’m assuming here but because it’s not clearly labeled as it is you wouldn’t know what can be done with it. And just to be clear, this is not a software or plugin to do this.

This isn’t a way to take blogging easy but it’s a strategy you can use to manage multiple blogs. For instance, if your blog strategy is to post 1 article per day in your personal blog and web design blog then this can help you. I’m not recommending you to aggregate content as I believe responsible blogging should always be personal and honest.

The Real Cost of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

by

Every client I meet now will ask, “Can you make my website #1 on Google?”. Or they will request, “I’d like my website to be #1 when customers search [keyword]”. Whenever I hear all this, is it the rage? Or is it the real demand for a honest and reliable SEO provider?

As much as I’d like to say; “Yes, we will do our best to position you there”, I’ll be lying if the underlying problem isn’t getting there but can they afford to pay the cost for a search engine optimization (SEO) service. Have you ever wondered what is the real cost behind such a service?

Should Bloggers have Business Cards?

by

During the Malaysia Bloggers Buff 2007, I noticed there were many bloggers exchanging their business cards. Besides that you should be interested in knowing more about responsible blogging – forum conducted during the event. Of course, the businesses in the cards were of their full-time job.

However, has it ever occurred to you what if a full-time blogger gave out a business card with just his blog name, blog description, his name and the blog address? This was just a wild idea I was thinking about while I saw many bloggers sharing their business cards.

Discover Backlinks You Never Knew using Google

by

One of the RSS feeds I subscribe to is SEOposition and today I learned something new. It was a short entry about how you know you can see how many backlinks using Google. If you never knew, you can do it by typing this in the Google search bar.

link:websitename.com

According to Brian from SEOposition, he says this only gives a partial list of URLs linking to your site and is by no means a comprehensive look at your total number of backlinks. However, in his article View Google Backlinks in Google he’s shared another method which he feels Google may have accidentally allowed users to use.

How to Become a Responsible Blogger?

by

This is the second entry following the first one which was more about the Bloggers Buff 2007 event. In this entry, I’ll be writing more about what I’ve understood and how you can become a responsible blogger from what seasoned and more mature bloggers have shared during the event.

The first step to become a responsible blogger is very easy – passion. Speeches delivered by Timothy Tiah (Nuffnang), Yvonne Foong and Kenny Sia commonly talk about the passion for blogging and writing. Sure, Kenny might be raking in big bucks he never intended for all of that to happen. Yvonne is a really great example of a blogger filled with passion and if there were an award for most passionate blogger; she would be the winner.
