MLM & Network Marketing Branding - What Blogging Platform Should You Use

[ad_1]

Blogging is simply putting your content on a different platform. It is not just a diary, a gimmick or cheap party trick.

But blogging for your MLM or network marketing business, or just about ANY business for that matter?

Though they certainly didn't start out that way, blogs are incredibly useful content management systems when set up properly.

If you are marketing your MLM or network marketing business on the web and you don't have a blog, you will always be beaten down by your competition.

You cannot get ahead by using the tools of Web 2.0 without a blog. Period.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, blog content management systems are the darling of the search engines today, especially Google, the #1 search engine on the web.

A Blog platform allows you to do things no one else in your market can do with shopping cart and static sites.

Using the platform to publish online means you don't just have a web site, you have a search engine magnet and an interactive community builder that will drive targeted, willing-to-buy visitors to your site.

There are numerous hosted blog programs out there, hosting a blog yourself takes more effort to be sure, but the advantages are significant. Not only can you do more customization, but you can also keep the blog web page on your own server to help promote your own domain.

I would suggest getting blog software that you can host and customize yourself. The one I use is Wordpress.

In addition:


  • Wordpress has a dedicated community of users that are constantly improving the out-of-the-box software.

  • Wordpress has hundreds of themes available for free download.

  • Wordpress has hundreds of plug-ins.

  • Nothing beats Wordpress when it comes to Tagging and Social Bookmarking. Plug-ins make tagging on your Wordpress blog extremely easy.


Being a designer and control freak, I just love the Theme customization feature to make my blog exactly how I want it to look.

There you have it. Start blogging away right now at Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org.

SEO Meanings

[ad_1] Like with most things, computer speak has a language all its own. When you create a website you most likely will encounter a lot of new lingo, and while some of it actually makes a lot of sense there are some terms that may be a bit weird, even for the techy among us. When you think of a white hat you may think of the Kentucky Derby or a Royal Wedding but in SEO speak it means the group of techniques that use the best practice, the ones that earn you all the gold stars and brownie points, the ones that don't use bad manipulations to gain traction or ranking, but those who do what they do to the best of their abilities, create wonderful content and follow all the rules. Things like time on page is pretty self explanatory. There are actually people out there who analyze data like how long people spend on a certain site. They are timed and when they click out that data is collected. You optimally want people to spend some time on your site, not just click in and out in three se...

However after the recent updates, it seems that pleasing the teacher got a little tougher! Google Panda Update & SEO Articles In Feb 2011, Google came up with the Google Panda update with the intention to improve the search result quality. As a result many sites with a lot of ads and low quality content started to fade off. They were replaced with quality content based sites, social networking sites, news sites etc. In this way Google gave an indication that SEO content writing techniques used previously which included keyword stuffing, spinning etc were out of the window.
