Promotion blog - Part Two

To be honest I did not think that I will continue the theme promotion blog, begun in the article: "Further promotion of the blog, since its inception". I am not an expert in this, and I have only one more or less running blog. Actually on it and you are. However, I was approached for advice on this matter via email. Inquired on the progress of non-profit blog social orientation. I gave the answer, which became the basis of this article. And because everything in the world is interconnected, then in RuNet actually appeared at the same time, several publications on this subject.

Getting promotion blog, you need to ask questions about the final result and what you want to convey to readers. That is, the original question is what kind of problem in moving costs. What the audience needs, etc. It is necessary to proceed further promotion. If a blog is strictly non-commercial or author theme, the best option would be to use natural methods of promotion. Those which are written in the previous article. Try some extend in this post, then that meant.

General rule. following. Publications on the blog should be regular. It's better when she's going at least one article a week. It is believed that the constant updating of the site improves ranking in search engines. Plus, do not give your audience, reading rss-tape blog or mailing list, you forget. In the network there is a lot of experts on the blog promotion, marketing techniques and so forth, which give advice on how to keep your blog and how it pisatK example, a good recent videos recorded Sergey Zhukovsky with Alex Levitas, how to unscrew the blog, which is You can see the article on his website.

If you are targeting for search engine traffic, you should consider search on your topic. This can be done at a special service keyword statistics Google. You'll see that users are searching on-line through search engines. The resulting information should be used when writing articles and building them headlines. However, this may not always go to benefit from the social point of view. Is not necessary for the search request is higher than the content and readability of articles. Although it is often the case that the user's query simply "lies" in the title.

We go further to consider the external methods, which may help in improving search engine ranking and an additional influx of visitors.

The easiest way to move is to add a site in social bookmarking (bookmarks). With them also goes a little traffic, and links, which they are placed, indexed by search engines. So, after the next publication, you can do run articles on the bookmarks. This includes the titles, links to the article, a brief description of one or two sentences and an indication of key words (tags) article. Popular services sotszakladok in runet are: BobrDobr.ru (bobrdobr.ru), Memori.ru, MoeMesto.ru (moemesto.ru), Mister Wong (www.mister-wong.ru), Selected I. UA (links.i. ua).

You can register RSS-tape blog RSS-catalogs. But we need to understand that content, which is in the news will be published on someone else's site. And this site usually has a much higher performance and search engines. Accordingly, the search engine will index the article soon on it and considers it the primary source of the RSS-catalog. That is, in SERP blog for the search query may be much lower than the site-retsepient. Therefore young blog is there better not stick, at least one year of life. And if you do decide to register, then adjust the tape so that it was given to 200 characters of text. Of the large directory can be said without thinking: Kanban.ru, Blogdir.ru, Blogus.ru.

The massive run on the directory of sites I would not recommend. I have a negative experience, and traffic with them in fact. The only thing you need to try to add to our listings: Dmoz, Aport, Yandex catalog, catalog Mail.Ru. The last two paid, but it is possible and the addition of free non-commercial sites with social orientation.

If all did decide to run for the massive catalogs, you need to approach this wisely. First, for each directory to do a unique description using words and phrases specific to your blog. Fortunately there is a software for the automation of such action. Run better do so gradually, so that the network did not appear suddenly, inexplicably large number of links to a site with similar catalogs. Do not put back links and buttons on the directories of sites on his blog. It can turn your site into a link-trash. What, again, not gud "in terms of search engine. There are so-called "white catalogs, which do not require references to himself in return, but not many.

For your video on YouTube and other video sources, the description is always necessary to add and link to your website. desirable for video on the themes of your site, but may be a viral video about something interesting, by article on the blog. Small, but traffic from video sources are. By the way is very easy to pour the video on YuTyub RuTube and Video@Mail.Ru.

Start your accounts on blog platforms and do it in the diaries announcements articles. There can go traffic, as with internal search engine and search engine through them. To go from blogplatform internal traffic, you need the most read and comment on other publications. Add them to friends  - typically 80%  you mutually. If the course will read your announcements. Therefore, to compile the announcement should be approached responsibly - it should interest people. It is natural to buddylist trust for you users or popular.

From such popular services: LiveInternet.Ru, LiveJournal.com, Blogs on Mail.Ru, Diary.ru, Blox.ua and many others. You can configure Crossposting RSS-tape blog on these services. While I'm doing a separate announcement on LiveInternet. Since it is configured automatically add the announcement in an account at LiveJournal. Already with LiveJournal on other blogs. But some have to go and initiate the posting or LJ, or with the RSS-feed for your blog.

Gaining popularity Twitter and other services mikrobloging, and I see there are many mikroblog different subjects. Announcements on Twitter easiest to do through service FeedBurner. On the tab "The public-Socialize" your channel is adjusted automatically posting news from the RSS-tape blog on service Twitter.com. Also need follovit (add to friends) other users. Present users search for specific words.

Do not forget about regional and thematic web sites, blogs and forums. There you can try to publish articles with links to the site. Communicate on the sites of the related subjects. Post links to the blog whenever allow or forbid. Of course, if you're stupid spamming, then you will be anywhere ban - your message must bear favor a site on which you leave a link. Making an agreement on mutual promotion with the owners of other blogs. There is such a thing as a "guest posts" on blogs. Guest - are articles by other authors on your blog, or vice versa. Terms of delivery of such articles - it is a separate issue, which is negotiated with the owner of the blog.

Start your mailings for free services: Subscribe.ru, Maillist.ru, Sontent.mail.ru. After publishing dozens of articles in full-mailing, on the first two need to apply in their catalogs mailings. After this announcement mailing falls in the newsletter service and you receive the original audience. Alternatively, you can then configure the automatic application of the mailing Subscribe.ru on Maillist.ru and Content.mail.ru. And if the status of mailing "silver" on Subscribe.ru can configure the automatic imposition of mailing on the appearance of records in the RSS-tape blog. But it is already on your choice. I enter her hands.

Also, a small influx of visitors can get answers from the service (see the article about them). The responses may provide links to websites, if the publication expands your answer.

In addition, not useless, to improve the indexing of your site or blog, there will be internal linkstopages. There is a view of the installation options with new articles on the old and vice versa, from text publications. In the case of course, if they fit the context.

So far. If I still did all this ... :)

Own online diary now to start easy. Mass services provided free to create your blog, diary, realize your desire to speak. I have already considered the possibility of creating mikroblog on Twitter, and full-fledged blog site on the Blogger service. Today I try to open the question of blogging, from which the blogosphere and actually began to develop. They are now very popular among people who do not need to starts a separate site, but there is a desire to express their views on various everyday issues.

If you look at the rating blogservisov to search for blogs by Yandex, you will see not only leaders like: LiveJournal, Блоги@Mail.Ru, Ya.ru, LiveInternet - but also many other smaller services.

After that, the message usually goes on the successful creation of the account and sent to the registration e-mail address of the activation e-mail message. The letter will contain a link after clicking on which the service will confirm your email. Then you can freely use their blog diary. Now you can configure the design of the proposed options and the structure of the diary. Depending on the service such opportunities may differ materially.

Post messages in such services easily. It is not necessary to know the program code. All services use WYSIWYG editor for design publications. Click the "New Entry" and you will be able to: insert images from your computer or photo hosting, insert a window with film clips, format the text.

Each message will need to add tags. For this purpose a special form made the words that you think relate to the topic. This is done to ensure that your blog can be found through the search engine service, other users. After processing the message must click "Send". Then the paper will appear in your diary.

To be read, you need to read and comment on the publication of other people. Add them "as a friend (frend), and they will do in response, too. As a result of your publication will appear in their Friends page. They see friends of friends, and gradually you have any readers and commentators. This, of course, if the ideal. In reality the number of people you have added "to friends" and that you add will be different.

I also have the account's in several of these services that I use to advertise out articles blog. For example, on LiveJournal. Registration on it, I actually above and described. Joined on other services may be different, retaining the essence of the procedure.

Apart from the above set out, people who have accounts on multiple services, with the same publications, should learn the procedure Crossposting. This is when you create a message on LiveJournal or LiveInternet, and it automatically appears on other services. The mechanism of this, as a rule, can be found in the settings for services.

"Julie&Julia" - Learned the art of French cooking


I probably overly sentimental ... Here only saw the film "Julie & Julia: Cooking happiness on prescription". I am so impressed with the film, he explained to me this time of night, And if the whole truth, then in the morning:), to sit down for this article.

A movie is not action and no melodrama, no special effects, just a good game and voice actors, direction and camera art. Last me a little more closely, because of the passion photography. Well, the theme of the film was close to my blog "beginners on Internet" - http://vladekas.com/blog/. And again, we are in the movie is not about hackers or cool end of the world, due to global disruptions in computer systems.

Simple girl of civil servants, Julie Powell (actress Amy Adams) got carried away a cookbook by Julia Child: "learned the art of French cooking" (played by Meryl Streep). And she decided to try to make meals for all 524 recipes for exactly one year. Thus, escape from everyday life, and having a purpose in life. And to control myself started blogging with a description of how she did it. Do not own recipes, as well as she had done and how she lived at that time. And it all happened. And her husband ate delicious - it's me so dreamy :-).


 





The film lives in the two times, separated by a half century. Two heroines live and prepare meals. Both husbands, social circle and purpose in life. One learns to cook, and then wrote a book. Others, however, today, reading her book, learning to cook French food, and every day blogging. A blog becomes popular. Appears audience blog comes fame and most long-awaited opportunity to become a writer.

The film put on the real stories and real books (Julie Powell, "Julie & Julia. Cooking recipe for happiness" and Julia Child My Life in Paris "). Murmured the Russian-speaking recently on Twitter, among bloggers. There I heard about it and. For some, it becomes an example of setting goals, achieving them. For some, an example of hard work. For those who are blogging is far and do not understand, it may be only an entourage and the interesting history of the formation of human and personal relationships. And for someone of you, this movie can be a motivation to start a diary or a full-fledged blog. Moreover, the young heroine of the film also made it to the free service, with the simple creation of pages. «The Julie / Julia Project» still actually exists at: http://blogs.salon.com/0001399/ - but the service no longer accepts new blogs.

And I had the motivation yet to finish minicourse on bloggers: "Reality shows: Creating a blog on bloghostinge Blogger.com". Who really wants to make it a blog, download, look and parallel viewing, make your own. And who does not, then I warn you right away - my courses on-a-very boring to watch, without the need. Unlike the movie "Julie & Julia", which I advise to go and look in the movie theater.


I also get a half hours and 175 MB (I will still try to reduce, and while so). A reference to the movieclip below - click on the button. The technical paper will be a couple of days - reported in the newsletter ...

Bon Appetit ...
