[T1048]To Start A Blog Page
by Courtney Tuttle, Cou

A blog is considered a personal journal for anyone to read and the most recent entry is always at the top of the page. The tools available to make a blog are inexpensive and easy to use. Therefore, publishing to the Web is simple for anyone.

Blogs have exploded in popularity over the past few years. The most popular tool for creating and maintaining a blog is Blogger, which is part of the ever-expanding Google empire. Blogger offers a free services where you can manage and host your online journal.

When you start out you will be given step-by-step directions in order to install and set up your blog properly. If you have questions or problems you can repeat the necessary steps without any fear. Blogs are actually quite intuitive, you just have to follow easy steps.

What you should center on when you start a blog is where you can go to if you have any doubts or inquiries. As you begin you will have many questions, such as if you can edit, delete, click which button and where do I find this or that?

The best advice is to become well acquainted with Blogger. In fact, the easiest way to set up your blog is to sign into their site. When you do you'll see the Blogger toolbar which enables you to conduct a Blogger search. There is a nice help section that provides all kinds of guides for your convenience.

This search will refer you to additional information if you need it, such as discussions, languages, help, etc. All of their information is free and they have a world of great resource. You can spend as much time as you want and educate yourself on topics you choose.

Since Blogger is into the service of creating blogs you will be able to spread out with them as you go along. You will be able to understand more and be ready to enter the blogosphere when you are ready.

When your posts go out there are many etiquette rules, certain communication technologies, special language, and reflective skills that you will be capable of displaying because of Blogger's access to information.

You have to set up your blog before you can begin to do anything. However, if you make a mistake while setting up you'll have to return because the computer will not let you continue. Once that part is done, it's done!

The main center point for continued learning and growth should be Blogger and the resources that they already provide to you. There are also lots of blogs about blogging that you can read. These will help you to learn to create material that people will like and can help you to bring valuable traffic to your blog.

Some of the better blogs out there can also teach you how to make profit for your blogs. This takes the fun of blogging to an entirely different level.


For those of you who use WordPress as your blogging platform, you know it's the best blog platform out there hands down. I personally run several blogs, all of which run on WordPress version 2.0 or greater. And the great thing about WordPress is the availability of additional plug-ins that anybody could potentially write to improve the WordPress blogging platform.

So what's the one simple technique to double your page views? It's actually a free plug-in that you can download and easily install into your existing WordPress environment. This plug-in is called "Related Entries" which basically finds other similar posts within your blog and lists them. If you think about it, it's nothing really special - the trick is all about where you place it on your blog.

As someone's reading one of your articles or posts on your blog they scroll down and continue reading until the end of the post. At that point there looking for some new content or something else that they could benefit from based on what they just read. Now, most bloggers lose the reader at this point, as they found the information they needed and they move on to another site. The trick here is to add this plug-in at the end of your post, and it literally will double your page views overnight.

Now this might not be the case for everybody so you can't hold me responsible if you don't double your page views. I do promise, however, that your page views will increase (assuming you at least have decent content). As soon as I added it to my CRM blog I notice a 63% increase in page views per visitor! How's that for a free bump in traffic? Not only did my page views go up, but my ad sense revenue also increased as well. Pretty nice huh?

Another benefit of this plug-in is SEO deep linking for search engines. Since each one of your blog posts will now have the related entries plug-in, the search engines will crawl these pages even faster. It will also allow Google and Yahoo to find your other related entries much easier. This is a great bonus and worth it's weight in gold alone!

Side note: You won't notice the related entries plug-in on this blog because I just don't have enough content (yet) to support related entries. But I urge you to download the Related Entries plug-in and give it a try for yourself.
