Better Blogging - NO VIDEOS! - More interaction!

Comment (1)By Ahson Rafiq in News on 8th April 2008

thA few days ago john chow talked about videos being the next wave in the blogging world, i strongly disagree here, content was , is and always will be king no matter what new methods might come up. To be perfectly honest i think videos are tacky and horrible for serps, unless you provide a text transcript for the video…much like two versions of the same post one in video and one in text. Although it may seem unlikely but while watching videos to learn something you might look over something crucial or might not understand something properly that can’t be explained any further whereas text is far more easier to edit and update.

Now heres my list of cons in video blogging.

  1. Less authority, more entertainment.
  2. More hassle on the author’s end.
  3. Not being able to make videos unless you’re in top shape
  4. Losing out on the smaller ratio of readers, the ones on dial up. I used to have dial up and i hate waiting for videos to load for hours..
  5. Alot of pressure to completely explain a point otherwise lose a whole video
  6. Minimizing in-context ad sales
  7. Devaluing serp value
  8. Low or none seo advantage
  9. Less links
  10. Simply more work

The list of pros..

Self Development/Improvement with Life Path Unlimited

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Reviews on 6th April 2008

Self-development is a very important feature in anyone’s life. A lot of us want to do better with our lives, however we lack the motivation that is required to push us past our limits. LifePath Unlimited provides its members with the motivation they need to make something happen in their life that we didn’t even think was even a possibility. What are you waiting for? Lets see what LifePath Unlimited has to offer to help us reach our highest potential.

The first opinion of the website was that it looked generic. There could be more information about LifePath Unlimited included within the website as well, although there is enough to understand the concept of the program. The navigation is fair, it could use a little improvement, but there isn’t anything that hurts the ease of navigation severely. The website itself is alright, it could use a little improvement, although it is good enough to let people know about LifePath Unlimited.

There are a total of 5 different parts to the LifePath Unlimited program. Each part offers something unique. Let’s go over these different parts so that you can understand LifePath Unlimited a little better.

The first part of LifePath Unlimited is Awakening. This is an introduction to the program which includes a DVD, one year membership and marketing rights to LifePath Unlimited, and a CD. What’s really cool is they throw in a MP3 player. That right there seems to be a bonus in itself. You will also receive a newsletter to keep you informed about LifePath Unlimited. This is the first step that you will take in the program.

SEO Tips : Better SERPs - Nofollowing extra pages on your blog

Comments (3)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, SEO on 5th April 2008

I learned this the hard way, a few weeks ago i had about 1400 indexed pages, it was always a bit odd because i knew i was blogging alot but not that much, so i started going through my serps for blueverse and i saw a ton of search queries, tags and categories within the serps with no unique description in the results, this is a really really bad thing to have in your serps if you are targeting for some tough keyword, since i was using All in one seo pack for wordpress i easily no followed all search queries, tags and categories.

This gave me a really good boost within the serps which is resulting in me ranking as follows:

Blueverse History

Comments (0)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging, Make Money Online on 5th April 2008

I’ve had a few questions that were lengthy enough to be answered in this post, brazilman commented on my blog income report for jan (pretty late) and asked a few questions:

According to whois blueverse.com has been registered since 2006? Did you buy this domain in Jan08 with backlinks and PR already? Or the site has been online for longer then jan 08 but you just started earning in jan08 is that it? Can you tell us how long you were working on the site before jan08?

This blog was infact registered in late 2006, and then was used as a twitter for my daily activities no matter how lame they were, later on i moved this blog on to Gurilla.net for a while then i realized what i really wanted to do with gurilla so i moved it back here near june of 2007, i didn’t start serious blogging till september 2007, with absolutely no monetization and zero income from it, i had to build it up to the point where i can risk spending a grand on the theme that you see so that it’s more attractive and would finally start earning some money. Late december i paid UBD for a blog design and early Jan i had the theme that you are looking at right now.

Right after the theme was placed i had alot of ad sales (some of which are still advertisers here :) ).

Hi, would you be kind enough to tell me how many unique visitors you were getting back in january and how you were getting them?

  • January - 9,000 uniques
  • Febuary - 20,000 uniques
  • March - 10,000-14,000 uniques
  • April - 1,000 uniques so far (5th april)

Blogging Tips - Getting more rss readers - 4 Apr 08

Comments (2)By Ahson Rafiq in Blogging on 4th April 2008

Okay this time i have some tips on how you can get more rss readers, these are the tips i used in the last 2 weeks to get more rss readers, which by the way worked like a charm :)

The whole point in trying to get more rss readers is to have more traffic in the long run, if you are planning on keeping your blog and growing it to the max then you have to focus on getting more rss readers and not just any readers these have to be relevant to your niche and you must have sufficient content to provide to these readers so that they can be contributors to your blog rather then stay nameless readers.

Engaging your readers or making the effort towards it is a good thing if you can engage your raeders into your posts in any way, go for it! Having the slightest interaction between readers and content on your blog can result in a healthier blog, do it over and over again and you’ll be on your way to have one of the few successful money bloggers.
