Why Would You Use Blogs Instead of a Web Site For Your Online Business?

Why would you use Blogs instead of a web site for your online business?

What’s wrong with using a web site for conducting your online business? How can Blogs help and why should I need one anyway?

Combining a website and a Blog however offer a number of superior advantages in terms of traffic generation, marketing and efficiency which a stand-alone website cannot do.

(a) Automatic push-button publishing.

Blogs are the easiest and cheapest way to have an online presence. For example, if you’re using Blogger, your Blog is hosted free by Blogger. Blogs allow you to publish your website without the need to know about any technical or programming issues such as HTML, FrontPage, FTP and so on.

Blogs provide a simple editorial interface. All you need to do is write your content, and publish it just by clicking the ‘publish’ button in most cases, and you’re done.

(b) Fosters relationship building, trust and ’stickyness’

Unlike websites, which are static, Blogs allows interaction between you and your readers. Blogs have a commenting function, and if turned on, it allows readers and visitors to post their comments, thoughts or opinions to a particular article you have written.

Constant interaction with your readers builds a feeling of community and ’stickyness’ factor. You can then recommend products more easily to them, and they would be more ready and willing to accept your product or services.

(c) Increase search engine ranking

Almost every major search engine has a software program called a ‘bot’ that searches or ’spiders’ websites online to find new content which it can then bring back to update the search engine databases.

Basically what this means is the more frequently you update your site, the more frequently the search engine ‘bot’ will visit your site, and this helps to boost your search engine rankings.

If you make regular postings to your Blog, you can be sure that search engines will visit your Blog again and again.

You can then place links of your other websites in your Blog and these will get indexed quickly by the search engines.

Of course you could also update your existing web site with new content, but you would have to go through a more technical process, that of using an HTML editor or FrontPage and uploading through FTP and so on.

(d) Free listing in Google, Yahoo and MSN

The traditional way of getting your website listed in these three major search engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN is slow and inefficient.

A listing in Yahoo directory alone would cost you $299.

However, with the inclusion of RSS feeds by these search engines, you can now gain a ‘backdoor’ listing which is legal and free. If you have an RSS feed, you can have it included in Yahoo and MSN and your website will be immediately listed in these major search engines within 24 hours!

My videos shows you the step-by-step process on how to do this.

e) Syndication Power

The most powerful feature of a Blog is its syndication function. Blogs can be turned into RSS feeds, and most Blogging service providers have this built-in function.

It is just a matter of turning it on from within your account.

Once it’s turned into an RSS feed, you can syndicate your Blog contents by:

• Submitting to the major RSS directories and search engines like Yahoo and MSN, gaining free exposure and free traffic

• Allow other website owners to publish your feed on their sites, again, getting free traffic you otherwise will not have

• Gain new readers, subscribers and potential clients by letting them subscribe to your RSS feed via a newsreader

Why should you act as an automated trader?
Now, let us be honest for once, 95% of forex traders dont have any long-term success and lose there money within 6 months. Perhaps you have this already behind you, the stock market as well as the Forex market are no one way street. But for all the traders who can not control their psychological aspect of trading, there is a solution.

What? Of course, as already mentioned, there are automated trading strategies. This can be achieved with the currently best Metatrader 4 and the new version of MetaTrader 5.

The advantage of MT 4? This offers almost unlimited possibilities in terms of programming the trade strategy. The programming language is MQL 4 / MQL 5th. The advantage of automated Forex trading strategy?Clearly, the human factor is omitted. The psychological component is left out and therefore has no more relevance to the commercial decisions. In addition, the time factor should not be underestimated play a role. A Forex Robots (Metatrader Expert Advisor EA) trades 24 hours a day, every 5 forex trading day per week consistently. This can be done by both the home PC or better from a server on the Internet.

Goodbye ATT Uverse - You Stink

Out of my many dealings with support, ATT UVerse is absolutely the very worst. It couldn’t get any more horrible unless baboons worked the telephones. I searched and found many glowing ATT Uverse stories , I called for television and internet service. They penciled me for installation a week later at midday.

So I took time off to be at my house ( a person over 18 must be there ). At 1 I called to find out the status of the installer. They kept bumping me to more customer suuport and after 25 minutes, a customer support person told me they didn’t have my correct street number so they had to reschedule me. I said, “You didn’t have the brains to call ?” All they could say without any emotion behind it was, “Sorry. We can move your date for a few weeks from now.” Say What ? Suddenly 8 days without service became 5 weeks

No sir. So I harrassed them every single day

After 6 calls, hours listening to classical, a million transfers to people who kept sending me back to 1st place, multiple hang ups whenever I requested a manager, I finally got the date changed to a few days later.

Guess what? The day came and went.

I’m through with it. For Christ’s sake say no Uverse for me.
