Literature is the soul of the wit. The ideal source of literature can be now found in blogs. The growing trend of blogmania is slowly sweeping the netizens. Every person aspires to have a blog as a platform to publish his thoughts and be heard and read.\r\n\r\nGeneral surveys undertaken on blogs and bloggers shows a rising trend in blogging. A parallel platform for literary endeavor, the blogs are overthrowing the traditional journalistic norms. Publishing of news and views no longer remains the privilege of an elite minority. Anybody and everybody is free to get in touch and explore the writer within himself. The anamorphic nature of the human soul is ideal reflected in the blogs.\r\n\r\nblog.rediffblogs.com/2005_20_03_alphablog_archive.html\” target=new>http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/2005_20_03_alphablog_archive.html\r\n\r\nA survey in the United States brought out a startling fact the 30% of the surveyed people read blogs. Also, 52% of the surveyed people recommend equal journalistic rights and freedom for the blogs. And the most striking fact is that 31% of the surveyed people revealed that they found blogs to be more credible than the newspapers.\r\n\r\nThe growing popularity of blogs can be gauzed from the fact that Yahoo, google, MSN, Rediff and all the other bigwigs of the cyber world are experimenting with blogs and bloggers. Both free and paid blog hoisting sites have come up which offers a plethora of tools to make blogging a breeze.\r\n\r\nMSN has even gone to the extent of making a common \’passport\’ database across all its services. So now, a MSN user can use his own personal \’id\’ across MSN messenger, Spaces and hotmail. Also, MSN has integrated its Spaces with MSN Messenger 7.0. The users of MSN Messenger 7.0 will have a tab labeled \’gleams\’ which will inform them when their contacts have updated their individual blogs.\r\n\r\nCurrent statistics from MSN shows that MSN has 170,000 daily blog updates. This number is large considering the fact that most of the bloggers do not update their blogs on a daily basis.\r\n\r\nThe Literature of the new era is no longer limited to books. From Poems to Features, from Humor to Short Stories, everything can be found in the blogs.\r\n\r\nblog.rediffblogs.com/2005_27_03_alphablog_archive.html\” target=new>http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/2005_27_03_alphablog_archive.html\r\n\r\nblog.rediffblogs.com/2005_03_04_alphablog_archive.html\” target=new>http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/2005_03_04_alphablog_archive.html\r\n\r\nThough good blogs are a trifle to find, yet close scrutiny will reveal every blog to be good in its own personal aspect. After all, blogs are a slice of the blogger\’s life and every one\’s life is a good source of learning experience.\r\n\r\nblog.rediffblogs.com/\” target=new>http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/\r\n\r\nThis also opens up the teaching value of blogs. blogs can be a mirror of life, culture and society. What can be a better teacher than one with a plethora of experiences to offer on a silver platter?\r\n

Building niche sites is all the rage these days.\r\n\r\nThe basic strategy is very easy. Find a niche market that is not oversaturated. Develop a list of related keywords people are searching on. Then write an article optimized for each one of your keywords. Once you have your articles, upload them to your site. Monitize your site with affiliate links and Adsense.\r\n\r\nFor this kind of niche site to be effective and make money, it is imperative that you get free traffic, and a lot of it. And that\’s exactly where a blog can be your ideal friend.\r\n\r\nAt its very simplest, a blog is just a structure. It\’s the bones of a web site. A blog is a simple way to publish and display your content on the web. Most of us think of blogs as a chronicle of news events, or commentary on news and items of interest. Or personal diaries.\r\n\r\nFew people stop to think that you can build any kind of website with a blog. In reality, a blog can be used very effectively to build a niche site. The fact of the matter is, a blog is the easiest way to publish your niche site content. But the biggest reason to use a blog is that it can drive traffic to your site a lot faster than a statically-built site. A niche site built with a blog is a very powerful strategy.\r\n\r\nFirst, select your niche and research your keywords. Write your first article based on one of those keywords, just as you would when building a regular site. Then set up your blog and publish that article. Your niche site is now live.\r\n\r\nTo make your site structure the most effective, be sure to choose a blog that grants the use of Categories, such as Word Press or Moveable Type. Use your 10 most important keywords as the name of your Categories. Then file all your secondary keyword articles under those Categories.\r\n\r\nWhy is this so important? If you keep building your site with keyword-rich articles, eventually you could have hundreds of pages. Each of those pages will have a link to your 10 Categories. And each of those links will use the anchor text of your most important keywords. As a result of all those internal keyword-rich links, your site will end up ranking very well in the search engines for your Category names.\r\n\r\nNow it\’s time to set up your traffic strategy. This is where a blog can really shine. There are many special RSS/blog directories that are hungry for feeds. By submitting your new blog to these directories, you can begin getting traffic nearly immediately. Quite often these feeds will result in a lot more traffic than all the major search engines combined. This is why it makes so much sense to build your niche site as a blog. You can have twice the traffic, and get it much faster than with a static site.\r\n\r\nHere is a list of some of the top RSS/blog directories you should submit your site to:\r\nhttp://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/\r\n\r\nOnce you\’ve submitted your site to the directories, you can get it indexed by Yahoo nearly immediately by adding your RSS feed to your MyYahoo page. If you do not have a MyYahoo page, just go to http://www.yahoo.com. Now click on the MyYahoo link at the top and set up your free account. Once you have your account set up, click on Add Content, then add the URL of your blog RSS feed into the Find Content box.\r\n\r\nWhen you go back to your MyYahoo page, your blog plus your first post should be shown. If you go look at your web stats for your site, you\’ll find that the Yahoo spider has already made a visit! Your new site should be indexed in Yahoo in just a couple of days. This is a strategy that some marketers were selling for $50 just a few months ago. And it works like a charm.\r\n\r\nEvery time you add a post, you can alert the RSS/blog directories by \”pinging\” them. There is a wonderful site at http://www.pingomatic.com that makes this very simple. You just have to type in your blog URL and Pingomatic will send your ping to Yahoo and about 15 other huge directories. That will bring the spiders back to your site almost immediately!\r\n\r\nDuring the first month, I would recommend that you write and add a new article every day. Blogs that are frequently updated get the most traffic. And you\’ll find that the major search engines will spider your site every day. At the end of a month, you will have a 30-article niche site that is already getting a lot of traffic. If you have monetized your site with Adsense and related affiliate programs, you should also be making money already.
