New Blogger Talk And Tips

I'm not an SEO expert nor do I really know about search engines algorithm,but what I do know is SERP or search engine result page is much more important than PageRank.PageRank is what Google think of your page based upon how long it has been around,what type of links coming and going from your page,it is rank from the lowest 0 to the highest 10.Advertisers will want to see what PageRank you have and certainly having a 0 PageRank meaning you have a very low chance of advertisers wanting to advertise on your page,or maybe you want to do paid review,chances are a blog less than 3 month old with 0 PageRank will not get to do it yet.

SERP on the other hand is how your site fare when people do a search on certain keywords that are related to keywords you have on your page,let say blogging tip.If you are in the first page,at number 1 to 5,chances are these people will certainly visit your site since they want to know about blogging tip and getting it from a site that came top in their search results meaning they will get the best tip possible that all other people are looking at too,but if you end up in page 3 and above,it seems very unlikely people will discover your site.

If you want visitor,work on your SEO to get the best SERP,there is no point in worrying about your PageRank are still 0 or you have a PageRank of 3 and suddenly it goes to 0.What you should really worry about is whether your site are being index,how to optimize your site to get good search engine results and good search engine results mean more traffic.

I'll write a little bit more about SEO in my next post,how you can do-it-yourself without paying huge sum of money to get it done for you.I'm no SEO expert,but like to share what I know,what I learn.

There are certainly thousand of blogs covering the topics of blogging tips.I even subscribe to the most famous one like Problogger,Dailyblogtips and Bloggingtips.So am I being a copycat?

Yes if I take what that have written in other blog tips blog and copy it in my blog,no because each blog have a different approach,different writing styles even if it does touch on the same topic and giving out almost the same tips.

Why I write about this?I read in Blogging Tips about a comment from one of their reader saying that Blogging Tips is just rehashing what other blog about blog tips have covered,but the irony is that particular reader have just started his own blog about blog tips!

Kevin Muldoon explained in great length on what he thinks about that comment,and some of the things that he mentioned does interest me and that is what I'm going to share with all of you.When you wanted to start your blog,you will have to decide which topic it will cover,and looking at all possible popular topics,there is none that is possibly have not been done by others before you,so when you enter that niche,you will be competing with other older blogs,you cannot run from this,even if you start a personal blog,there are lots of other personal blogs,so the only difference is it will be about your life,your experience,but chances are,there will be others that have the same look about life,almost the same experience,so it won't really make your blog any different isn't it?

Blog tips and making money tips are among the most popular blog,so what will make your blog different,how are you going to compete with thousands of other blog,and against the more establish one?How could you write something that others have not written?You can't,but this should not stop you from starting your own blog if you really like blogging and you love to share about blogging tips or making money tips.

I have a blog about making money,which covered topics about tips,being careful in making money programs,and I never felt intimidated by other older or more successful blogs because to me each blog has its own chances of being successful,being accepted by readers,as long as you can write good quality post,do all you can to expose it,do the right SEO,never give up easily,you have every chance of getting where you want to be.The same goes to this blog,I do what I like to do,write what I want to write,it is up to the readers to decide,and each blog success is determined by the readers.There is no guarantee that a very successful blog today will still be successful next year,or next two years,and there is no one who can say that you won't make it because you are new,writing about stuff that others have written and you are doomed because you are new.

There are 120,000 new blogs created everyday,so you still have your chances of people reading your blogging tips even if only half of that number are people new to blogging.Just do what you want to do,you can't choose to start a blog and writing something that others have never thought of writing,there will be competition in which ever niche you choose,being competitive will make you more alert,more creative and will push you harder to strive to be among the best,which I believe what everyone is aiming for.

If you write something that have been written by other well known blogger,people will say that you are not being original,but what if those well known blogger wrote about stuff that you have written first,will their readers have the guts to tell it to them?or will they be big enough to credit you as the one with the original idea?A more well known and establish blogger have the advantage of being seen as the first to report every breaking news stories,giving great tips,writing great articles,just because their blog are more widely exposed and read,but not because what they wrote is extremely brilliant.Some new and smaller blogs actually have better and well written content,only less people read it,so not many people actually get to share it.

Be a persistent blogger,keep on doing what you like,don't bother about what other people say or think.Look at Google for example,even though not many people like them,but the hard fact that we have to agree that it has become the major player on the Internet.MSN and Yahoo have been in business longer than them,yet they still join in,do things differently,and they now have the biggest share of searches among the top search engines.It is not because of them doing dirty business,but MSN and Yahoo are doing things the same old fashioned way,Google do things differently,injecting new method.It is not about who is new,who is more establish,it is about who can give something different,do things differently in a more fun way.

Being new doesn't mean you are a copycat,unless you do things the same way as all the others have done before you.You must Dare To Be Different.

There must be a reason you start your blog.You want to share your thoughts,experience or views with others.You learn how to blog,how to promote it,getting traffic,getting subscribers.Instead of just a hobby,it becomes a passion,to some it even become a profession.So what are the things that can help you become a successful blogger,even if you're doing it out of passion or as a profession.I read about this topic in Blogging Tips,written by Andy MacDonald.He shares some very interesting tips and I added some too.
