Themes the Best of Wordpress July 2, 2008
Posted by Randy Roedl in : Wordpress Articles , add a commentWith thousands of Wordpress themes now on the market for free and for money you can bet it’s hard to decide on the top Wordpress themes, but I believe I have come up with a great answer to this burning question. Now there are many free Wordpress themes that are very nice and I use many of them but they can’t justify being number one on the list.
To be # one the theme needs to have some exclusiveness, but at the same time still be available to the general public. I’ve seen some very incredible wp blogging graphic themes that are unique to just one person’s blogging but in this case we won’t be choosing from that.
I have looked through the top wp blog templates on the internet that cost anywhere between $20-$200 and I have come up with the top wp blog templates.
It was a fairly difficult decision to come up with a winner for the top Wordpress themes but after viewing themes for a long time I decided on choosing the Revolution Wordpress themes.
There are currently eight Revolution wp blog templates for sale and each one of them are very well constructed and thought out. Each one of theme are constructed for a specific niche blog and I feel that the designs were kept simple enough to use and didn’t go overboard on the options.
The two themes I like the most from the Revolution series is the news theme and the sports theme which are somewhat similar but both very nice magazine style blog themes. Magazine style Wordpress themes have been very popular and I have seen them on lots of blogs recently, but most of the free magazine themes aren’t very well designed.
Now I don’t have much coding knowledge so this is why spending a few bucks on a well constructed wp blogging theme is worth it. With a revolution wp blogging theme you will stand out and look like one of the elite dogs of blogging.
Now this exposure is excellent when starting out a blogging and this is why I give the Revolution wp blogging graphic themes the # one wp blogging theme.
Forget everything you’ve been told about copywriting. It’s wrong! July 1, 2008
Posted by Tony Hetherington in : Blogging Tips , add a commentWhether you have a website to launch, an ebook to publish, or affiliate scheme to promote website copy writing is one of the most essential skills to have. If you’re promoting anything online you will need to create compelling copyto form articles, press releases and website content. But they’ve been hiding the truth from you!
They say you need to hire a copy writer - they are wrong! Hiring a copywriter is the WORST thing that you can do. Even if grammatically correct, their copy will disappoint. It will be empty and lack that magic ingredient that your customers will love - YOU! Only you have the unique mix of knowledge, passion and experience that could create a special bond with your customers.
They say creating a great sales page is important - they are wrong! Creating great copy for your website is absolutely essential and goes far beyond the sales page. To build long term success you need fantastic content. Whether you have an ebook to sell, website to launch or affiliate scheme to promote you need to write interesting and compelling copy - copy that will form blog entries, articles, forum posts, press releases and website content. Even if you focus totally on pay per click advertising such as Google Adwords you still need to create winning adverts and persuasive landing pages or your sales will be lost.
They say you can’t write - they are wrong! If you’re struggling with writing content for your website, finding writing a business report a nightmare or would love to create a newsletter but don’t know how to start then don’t worry - it’s not your fault! There is a silent conspiracy working against you and it means that “they” make money because you can’t write as you would want to.
They don’t want you to know how to write so that you keep going back to them.
They are the mix of copy writers, dusty academics, and grammarians that like to feel superior. These pencil heads relish in pointing out mistakes we make and undermining us so we never learn. It may not even be an official conspiracy with an evil mastermind in a secret HQ but it’s still as effective. When have you ever heard a copywriter say “No, you should be writing this instead” or “You have the knowledge and passion that I can’t match”?
The answer is probably never because they don’t want you to know how to write, they don’t want you to realise that you are the best person to create your copy and they don’t want it to be quick and easy. Then they bill you. Not only do they bill you they then keep you in this trap so that you go back for more and more.
Here instead are four rules for creating great website content that both your human visitors and the search engines will love. 1. Don’t hire a copy writer - it is your voice and opinions that your customer wants to hear. 2. Create a unique bond - use your passion, knowledge and experience to build a unique trust between you and your customer. 3. Deal with their issues - By tackling their issues, fears and frustrations you can actually change your customers into rapid fans. 4. Finally, the biggest one - solve their problems and they’ll come back for more.
How Much Affiliate Marketing Time And Money Do YOU Want To Save? June 29, 2008
Posted by Bob McCord CBCP in : Blogging Tips , add a commentDo you ever feel like you have neither the time nor energy to dominate your nitche markets?
If you want your web marketing projects to take off, then Content FX is exactly what you need. How do I know? It has saved me a lot of frustrating, non-productive time and effort brainstorming article original content, posting it to numerous Article Directories and my favorite Blogs.
You cannot beat this fast FX generator! All I have to do is grab a keyword, click a button, click button to copy and paste article to my favorite website, blog, or article directories. From start to finish, creating the article and posting it, takes me just 3 seconds.
Do you need help avoiding overuse of keywords on websites and blogs which lowers your search engine ranking?
I’m excited about two FX scripts that generate an awesome number of one-way back links to my money site! Here’s how they work: (1) an article directory script accesses hundreds of other members’ article directories; and (2) an easy-to-use blog script automatically posts unique content articles to Wordpress and Blogger Blogs.
If you’re going to dominate a market, you must be careful not to use other people’s content. Duplicate content must be avoided.
This is a great labor saving device for those that prefer to do other things. I now spend twenty three and a half hours a day away from my computer and I do not have a single person writing content for me anymore!
If, as a human writer, you are tired of staring at a computer screen for hours, then this membership will eliminate the tiresome article editing and rewriting tasks you may now face daily. Why not get back some time… one of our most precious commodities.

WordPress Hosting: What To Look For In A Webhost
Posted by Chris Channing in : Wordpress Articles , add a commentIf you are hip on the blogging scene, then no doubt you’ve heard of WordPress. WordPress is one of the most popular blogging platforms around. Likewise, it has become something of a phenomenon as webhosts are now offering WordPress-specific webhosting. The question is- should you go for a generalized host or a WordPress-specific host?
What To Expect From WordPress Hosts
Before a blogger can get any work done, he or she needs to install WordPress. But doing that can be tough for those of us who aren’t exactly technically gifted. In that case, many webhosts, even the generalized ones, offer auto-installers that do the dirty work for us. So far, general webhosts and WordPress specific webhosts are neck and neck.
One big downfall for normal webhosts is their lack of support for recent upgrades. When an important security upgrade comes out, WordPress users need to upgrade their blogs as soon as possible. If they don’t, they may run the risk of losing their entire blog to hackers. With normal webhosts the upgrading can be delayed, since they aren’t specializing in any single product.
When a blogger needs to upgrade a blog, he or she will soon find that the “one-click” upgrade feature most webhosts have is very dangerous. These installers write over previous files: meaning that old themes, plugins, and other content can be lost for good. In this case, WordPress-specific hosts take the win as they allow for better upgrading options.
Anyone WordPress user that has been on the front page of websites such as Digg.com know that with excessive demand comes downtime. This is because WordPress is database driven- meaning that if a lot of people are on your blog at the same time, it is bound to go down. WordPress-specific webhosts take this into effect and offer better performance and efficiency at the database level.
Bloggers Get Added Bonuses
It isn’t always a game of business- sometimes it’s about the extras that webhosts can offer. WordPress hosts are popular for offering WordPress-specific plugins and themes for their users free of cost- whereas normally extras such as this can cost webmasters hundreds of dollars.
The great thing about getting free themes from WordPress hosts is the fact that no one else has them. This means that you can have a professionally designed blog at no extra cost, compared to the hundreds of dollars it would take to get a custom WordPress theme designed and coded.
When a blogger gets a custom design laid out and coded, it becomes apparent that the webhosting route would have been much cheaper. Not a bad tradeoff, considering that there will be very few other blogs with the same theme as yours.
In the end, webhosts that specialize their services for WordPress users have some of the best deals around for blog fanatics- or anyone just looking to maintain their own website without the hassle!

How To Create An Interesting Blog June 28, 2008
Posted by Stuart M. Gray in : Blogging Tips , add a commentBlogs have become the new way of capturing target audiences online and most people use blogs to attract lots of web traffic to their websites. Many personal sites are now produced in blog format too. Easily configurable blogging applications such as WordPress and BlogIt have made a phenomenal climb up in the online world and and keep drawing hundreds of bloggers each day. Millions of bloggers are marking their existence on the web all the time and with so many blogs, it’s not really a surprise that we can’t easily find and interesting blog.
Why? Because most bloggers lose interest once they’ve posted a few nice opinions. The daily routine and mundanity don’t blend well with their thirst for blogging and it suddenly stops being interesting even to the blog owner. The blog content gets old and visitors stop coming. To keep an interesting blog, it takes quite an effort and constant creativity with words.
Fundamentally, there are only two ways to keep a blog intriguing and make the visitors come back often. The first thing would be to find a general interest story, something like a news story, upcoming publication or even an incident told by a friend.
Blogging is not just about sticking to a single mundane subject. It’s about diversifying your posts and involving more people in the consequent discussions. If you find something that interests you, don’t hesitate to blog about it.
If you aim to attract a lot of web traffic, you must focus on posting on subjects that interest the worldwide community. Some topics are best avoided though, such as politics, racism, religion and controversial sciences. Blogs are for sharing ideas and opinions based on empathic views and discriminative topics are not a good idea. Remember, new content attracts more web visitors, so keeping your blog updated frequently helps.
The second principle of blogging is finding links. Instead of writing lengthy posts about what you think will be interesting, simply search for interesting topics, stories and articles on the web and link to them through your blog.
You can use the blog posting area to tell the visitors why they should visit a particular link and what they can find there. The idea here is to get visitors to your blog, but direct them to a different area to actually read the content. This keeps your blog interesting while attracting lots of traffic too.
Locating the best blog on the web or creating it is quite a big task. Unsurprisingly, you’ll run out of things to say on your blog at some point, so the trick is to keep looking for interesting things elsewhere and make the most of it.
Get Better Website Rankings With SEO Blogging
Posted by Russell G. Stuart in : Blogging Tips , add a commentIt’s catch 22 - you have to be listed high in the search engine results to get more web traffic and to get listed high in the results, you have to attract lots of web traffic. Regrettably, rich content is no longer the only valuable resource sought by web visitors.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the reason why a website gets a good ranking on web searches. Making a website SEO-based can be anything from legal to borderline illegitimate, depending on what techniques you use.
You can make sure that your content is rich in key words, after finding the appropriate key words using tools you can find for doing that; you can exchange links; you can submit articles to directories; these are just a few ways of SEO. One easy and rather enjoyable way of doing is through blogs.
A weblog, better known as a blog, are created for both personal and business purposes. Your blog gives you the freedom to talk about anything you want and it’s quite an enjoyable task that’s worth all the effort. Blog attract loads of traffic and you can have your blog either within ot external to your website.
The content you post on your blog is your choice and you can include as many links as you prefer in each of your posts. If the blog is internally available in your site, you can post links to increase your site’s search engine ranking. Comparatively, if it’s located externally, posting links is a valuable way to get one way links to your website.
Exchanged links can boost your ranking, but one way links are definitely more valuable than exchanged links. This is a wonderful way of making sure that you have a lot of valuable one way links.
Your blog must be informative and rich in keyword-based content to make a good hit when it first starts off. Having your blog within the site increases its chances of getting hits for keywords. Because blog posts are different from the ordinary article format, it might be harder to put in keywords in your posts, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll breeze through easily.
Another good aspect of maintaining a blog include the incoming suggestions. Your blog visitors will let you know where your shortfalls are and you can improve your blog accordingly. It’s also a good way to build up a contacts list, something that comes in handy for your business.
