BlogFact

After starting to blog seriously over a month ago, I just want to share my experience as a beginner in blogging.

If you're a beginner it's very hard to get respect from others especially to those people that have their mind on their feet. Yesterday,I got a comment from one of my fellow citizen, a Filipino. Saying this,

"hahahaha very nice offer. Pero pano makakasigurado ang mananalo kung ikaw mismo na nagpasimula ng promo e wala nmng adsense ads s blog mo na nagpapatunay na kaya mo nga magpaapprove ng adsense account? Please answer honestly, HOW on Adsense Account Giveaways!"
 - uwish

You know, I'm not forcing you to believe me, and one thing is, I will not post about something that I'm not sure.  Yes, he's right too on what did he said, but the thing that push me to post this, is the link attached to "uwish" which he used as his name. What's the use of that? For me it's an insult. So if you want to gain respect from others, try to give respect too. I know who you are and I know where site where you from. Insecurity won't make you successful. Just mind your own businesses. 


So, what's your experience/s?

Earn with Google Adsense


In my daily observation in every groups on Facebook I joined, I always see people striving to persuade others to join also to where online moneymaking sites they participated. Then I realized, why should we waste time in the sites we were not sure if it's scam or not than to wait for a month or more and be patient for a legal one? In simple thought, don't waste your effort and time to ptc sites. Use your knowledge and share everything you know on the web, at the same time earn as much as you want. In blogging, patience is not only a virtue but a must. You should invest enough patience and dedication if you really want to earn and gain respect from other blogging Pros and inspirings ones. 

 If you're sure now that you really want to forgo ptc sites or any other "paid to" activities, know first what are the Blogging Benefits that you can gain. After absorbing it, then learn how to make your site Google friendly. Take some time to think of the contents you know that will not violate the Google TOS. If you know that your blog's ready to face Google Adsense then apply now, wait for the moment that Google will approve your application, and earn.

Choosing Your Blog Niche


Before making a blog, there are several pointers that a blogger needs to understand. One of this is choosing your own  niche. This is also what a beginner needs when planning to make his own site. So niche is the keyword or idea to put on your blog. This is what your blog will reflect. For example, you choose the niche sports, so your blog posts should more on sports related. You can also make a blog that has no specific idea, or if you want to blog every different trends everyday, though there's no problem with it, but I recommend to have your specific niche, so you can focus on only one topic.

How to choose a niche that will suit your taste? In choosing, think of what you want like your hobbies or your favorites and any other interests. This is the easiest way to start a blog post. Easy in a way that you already know what your topic is all about and you don't need to search for it first in the internet. 

What to avoid in choosing a niche? Avoid choosing a niche that you don't know, or avoid choosing an idea that you just see in the internet just because the site you saw is successful even though you don't know anything about it. Niche matters, yes it is. But strategy matters more. Remember that every successful site that you will see is not profitable or advantageous because of the keyword it reflects, but it is because of the strategy that the site owner implemented to make his site on the top. 

Avoid Automated Backlinks


Backlink is one of the major factor that we may consider if we want our site to rank high, despite of that, not all backlinks are good. Some may cause us trouble that may result to penalization of our sites. We may face this trouble when we use automated backlink generators excessively. Beginners always think that it might help for increasing traffic and pageviews, but it is a large X. This method ain't help, I admit that I also used this method, because like the reason I mentioned earlier from this post, I thought that it's a big help.

There are also some ways beside automated backlinks that can be the reason why your site will be/ is ban or penalized. These are Cloaking, Hidden text, Doorway page, Keyword stuffing and other Black Hat SEO techniques.

So for other inspiring bloggers, think of it if you don't want Google consider your site as spam and ban you.

How to Avoid Google Penalty


This topic is one of the most important things that a blogger or web owners must and should consider. You get a hard time making your blog right? So take note of what to do and don't let Google Penalty hurt your monthly profit. But before discussing the tips, know first what are the effects of being penalized or banned.

When your blog or site is banned or penalized no one could not able to see your domain name(paid or not) even if it is typed in the address bar or being searched in Google. No matter if how long you've been in blogging business, no matter if you have high traffic, and no matter how hard you try to make your blog on the top. Note that Google has no consideration if they know that you break their rules. So now, listed below are the things you should avoid to make your blog good in the eyes of the people behind Google. 

The first one, you should avoid duplicating content from others or what we called "copy-paste method". This is the most common reason why large number of blogs and websites are being banned.

Then next is Excessive use of keywords. Google bots don't want too much keywords on your content or in simple statement, avoid making your keywords too obvious. If you really want to use enormous keywords in your posts, you should make your content longer too to make it not obvious to Google bots.

The third one is, never participate in paid to click traffic or traffic exchange. Google demands for organic traffic or traffic that are mostly came from search engines.

Lastly, do back links carefully, massive amount of back links may destroy your site and be penalized. You should also avoid the sites for back linking that break the Google TOS.

Google Penalization took almost a year or more to make your blog or site visible again to search engine. So before breaking the rules, think first what you are risking or else you'll get ban.
