    How do I make my Blogs popular? 

    Social networks are a great way to promote a blog as it helps in increasing traffic to your blog. Unless your blog is purely personal in nature and only meant to be shared with family and close friends, chances you want to bring in more readers. Nearly all bloggers also want to earn something from there blogs. At least to cover the costs domain renewals and hosting services, but that requires a large traffic.

    After SEO, Social Networking is only and the best way to popularize a blog and earn at least some money. Being a Social Media guy and a professional writer, the main question, which is asked by almost every fellow blogger is How Do I make my blogs and projects popular? My answer is always being the same, but I wanted to share with you all so writing this post. Best way is to do social bookmarking, also Explain Social Bookmarking to your users. Not everyone
    who crosses your blog will be familiar to the benefits of social bookmarking. So how to promote your blog via social networking or social bookmaking?

    Well, I won’t write too much like those real *** bloggers write about, “Do this, Do that” seriously all those tips are useless and time consuming . Just remember to socialize and popularize a blog you just need to create a network of good fellow bloggers and bookmark or share the
    posts. Here is a list of top bookmarking sites:

    • StumbleUpon Promotion: StumbleUpon is great source of incoming traffic.
    • BlogCatalog Promotion: BlogCatalog, a network for bloggers, has several ways to promote your blog and articles.
    • Twitter Promotion: Twitter is probably the simplest network to use to promote your blog. Simply post an eye-catching, 140 character or less tweet with a link to your new article.
    • Facebook Promotion: Facebook offers a number of ways to promote your blog site and posts. For starters, you can create a Facebook Page for yourself or your blog.
    • Digg Promotion: Digg allows members to share sites via voting, or Digging, them. The best method of sharing links via this site is not to do self-submissions, but to add a Digg submission button or badge to each article and let your readers submit your story.

    Tip: Remember just share a post once, or ask some of your friends to share the post as if you’ll keep on sharing posts again and again, it would make a bad impression on your readers as well as your followers too. They may think that you are spamming.

    Making money from sites and blogs is so easy that one can easily make a good living from it, but for a noob (new blogger) it could be a never ending nightmare which may finally lead him in loosing interest in blogging and I’m sure he won’t take blogging seriously then. Al though he will learn then only that taking it seriously would never help as ankit said in one of his guest posts too on Chaaps.

    New bloggers find it too hard to earn from blogs as they are not experienced, but don’t worry to get the best one doesn’t need experience just have to hard work in a smarter way. In second last post one of our Guest author answered the question – Can you earn Money Blogging? Today I’m going to tell you that how can one be a good blogger so he can make a good amount of revenue in the right way.

    So How Can One be a Good Blogger?

    To make a good blogger one doesn’t need any experience or something as I said in above. Just have to make some strategies to be good and earn well. To make good strategies you need good ideas and to get good ideas you have to mind map himself. I hope you are not feeling sleepy while reading this as it’s going to help only who are with fresh mind. :) Here are the strategies that may help you. (More …)

      Hi P.B.,

      This is Jonathan from Kontera, our In-Text links are definitely a go to option for bloggers looking to monetize.

      What really sets our network apart is that Kontera’s contextual algorithm is able to scan webpages for meaning, not just keywords, as is the case with competing technologies, allowing us to deliver more relevant ads over your content, which leads to higher CTR and better CPC.

      Kontera also has the advantage of an exclusive ad inventory from some of the biggest brand names in the world, including Dove, Microsoft, Blackberry, Quaker, and L’Oreal. These premium, often Rich-Media ads are the most attractive to the eye, offer the best CPC available, and are only available through our network.

      Finally, Kontera is just the best destination for bloggers. We offer a 70% revenue share for new publishers and a $50 bonus for any new publisher who gets at least 25,000 page views during their first 30 days on the network. Additionally, we just lowered out minimum payout threshold from $100 to $50, meaning publishers get paid faster as well.

      You can learn more about Kontera on our Publisher’s Page: http://www.kontera.com/publishers

      Thanks,

    ‘More’ tag. What is it? 

    In many of my previous posts I told you all about the ‘More’ tag SEO issue, it was not clear to some of the bloggers. Some of my friends even contacted me for the details. Instead of giving the information about it and its issues in WordPress I found writing about it is a better way to let all know. The ‘More tag’ is actually a tag generated and inserted in the post section by a button present present above the ‘content’ section of the WordPress (More …)

      I’m not sure with the MORE tag, I read in a book that MORE tag must be used in the homepage, so that the article doesnt get a duplicate between the home page and the single page.

      The feeling of freedom that a driver will get from his well-tuned vehicle is nothing in comparison for the independence and thrill a rider gets from his horse. When a rider and his horse operate in concert, it can be like flying. And you also can’t fly if your feet are stuck for the ground. This is why the proper ride-on boots are so critical. Not simply can they help enhance your security during using, they are able to add flair to your outfit on or off the horse. No matter if you might be searching for English tall rideon boots, western boots, paddock boots, or simply the most effective leather using boots for fashion, there exists an overwhelming choice from which to choose. The correct fit is important, as are the right components, construction, and, naturally, price tag. We’ll take a seem at a number of the best riding boots to have you began.

      Therefore I have bought numerous equine footwear on Germany, they usually are called “Reiterstiefel” right now there:

      My personal query: How do i join individuals boots using my own other sorts of outfits?

      Hey, Awesome blog you have here. I wanted to let you all know that I think Twitter is going to be one of the best networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter reveals some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will increase to show the real growth of the network.

      Anyway, I created a blog that offerers great resources for Twitter that are 100% free, so come and visit and don’t be a stranger.

      Keep up the great work!
