Blogs are popping up every day. If you have recently started a Wordpress blog, I’m sure you are excited about it’s ease of use and thrilled with the fact that Google loves blogs. With the friendlier, more personable tone, blogs are experiencing huge traffic leaps and helping companies to gain the exposure they are looking for.

It’s all about getting traffic. You can have the best idea or most marketable product in the world, but without proper exposure, your website will just sit there stagnant. The first key to blogging success is to BLOG! Relevant, engaging information that is updated on a consistent basis is key. Here are some tips to blogging success:

1) Stay on topic

I used to have a pastor that was famous for saying “but I digress.” Although this may have worked for him, chasing rabbit trails is not what your blog reader will appreciate. Define your topic and stick to it. Pack the most relevant and trusted information into your blog post as possible.

2) Be authoritive
If you are going to succeed in your chosen industry or niche, be sure that you have a thorough knowledge of the topic and can speak with an authorative voice. No one wants to read regurgitated information that you have ripped off from another source. Whatever topic you choose for your site, be sure you have enough interest in the subject to keep up with the latest news on the subject. Be sure all your facts are correct. Your reputation is at stake. Hint: Wilipedia is not a trusted source of information.

3) Be relevant…even groundbreaking
Blogging is your platform to the world, use it wisely. If you are providing your readers with relevant, new ideas they will keep coming back. As stated earlier, the subject you are blogging about should ideally be one that you have direct experience with, not just a subject you think is trendy at the moment. I don’t have a Blackberry. I know nothing about them. I wouldn’t blog about one or start a site selling Blackberry accessories. Enough said.

4) Make a commitment
Create a blogging schedule. Yes, it requires commitment and discipline but your readers don’t want to return to find the same post they read last week. Occasional breaks are fine, but be careful. Your visitors are there for a reason. Give them what they are looking for.

5) Keyword saturation
If you are going to make it in the search engine rankings you will need to learn about keywords and including them naturally in the title and body of your post. In order to use your blog to achieve true marketing success, you will have to learn how to write for the web. Keywords used throughout and a post of no more than 500 words. Simple, short, and sweet.

6) Quality of writing
I have heard the advice to always proof read and use spell check. Although this is true, some of us just don’t have the knack for writing. Developing quality content and constructing grammatically correct, flowing, easy to read sentences that have nice transitions from one paragraph to the next may sound easy as can be to the seasoned writer; but what about the rest of  the world? If you know what you want to say, go ahead and put your blog post together the best you can and submit it to Partnership Marketing for editing. For a small fee, we will make sure your blog is clear, easy to read and free from grammatical errors. Having well written blog posts is also attached to your credibility. If your readers are having to battle with choppy or run-on sentences and misspelled or misused words, they will quickly find another blog to follow.

7) Promote, promote, promote!
From having an RSS feed to signing on with Twitter, Technorati, Facebook, forums, and Blog directories–Do everything you can to promote your readership. I personally love RSS feeds. I read Zenhabits.com and am notified via email and through Twitter of new blog posts and titles.

Blogs are perfect for developing a small community of followers that will turn into a large following as time goes on.

Partnership Marketing is available for your blogging and web content needs. Whether you need your blog posts reviewed and tweaked before putting them online or a full content or blog writing service, we can fulfill your needs.

Partnership Marketing provides effective, engaging, and relevant web content when you need it. Things move so fast on the web that the ability to post content quickly often gives sites a solid business advantage.
Having this advantage can mean thousands of dollars in revenue for you, instead of your competition.

Any successful website owner will tell you that getting their website up and running was only the first step to online success.

The second – and absolutely vital – step is to get a steady stream of traffic to your website. If nobody’s visiting your website, it doesn’t matter if you have the most attractively designed website and the best product in the world, because nobody knows about it.

Fortunately there are a number of ways to drive traffic to your website. Today we’re going to talk about using article marketing to get that flow of traffic going. I’m not talking about articles that are actually part of the content of your website (although that is important as well). Article marketing involves writing an article on a subject that is related to your business or product, and submitting it to an article directory. Article directories let you include a “bio box” or “resource box” and in there, you can include a link to your website.

There are thousands of article directories these days. If you’ve ever googled to look up information on how to do something, or where to find a product and come up with an article that was hosted on “ezines” or “associated content”, those are both examples of content that was written by another person on your particular subject, but somewhere in the article or at the end was a link to their website or product. Sneaky? No… Smart? Yes.

Article marketing actually benefits everybody. The publishers of the ezines get free content to use. And the authors of the articles get free backlinks and traffic to their site.

The more sites that you have linking to your website, the higher you will rate in the search engine rankings.

So when your article is published by an article directory, the link that you have included to your site benefits you. When ezine publishers and blog owners use the article and include the link to your site, that also benefits you. You also will get a lot of traffic from people who read the article and click on your link.

So how do you get started with this plan of action? That’s where we, Partnership Marketing come into the picture. Based on the subject matter of your website, we can craft articles with useful information, but without completely solving the reader’s problem – otherwise they have no reason to buy the product that you have created or are promoting.

Let’s say we wrote an article about aggressive dogs, because you are promoting an ebook about dog training. We can write an article about “five common causes of dog aggressiveness” and then in the resource box, you would say something like “(Your name here) writes frequently about dog training and dog behavior issues. For more information about common dog behavior problems, and tips on solving those problems, go to (your website name and clickable link here).”

If you have any expertise you definitely want to mention that. If you are dog trainer or dog breeder and are writing about dog training, or if you are a certified dietician or personal trainer and you are writing about weight loss, you would include that in your bio box. However as you can see from the example above, you don’t need to be an expert with a degree or certification to be able to write articles for article directories; most of their writers, in fact, are not experts, just business owners promoting a website.

So whether you write the articles yourself, or take advantage of Partnership Marketing’s keyword rich and search engine optimized content, you will find that the more articles you get out there on the web with your website address, the more traffic you will receive.

Check out our web content packages. Our prices for article writing services are affordable, and with our knowledge of writing unique, engaging articles that will receive top search engine rankings, you can’t go wrong.

Do you have a basic website or blog that is not receiving the traffic that you had originally hoped for? The first step was to build the website…Now is when we roll up our sleeves and put the necessary work into the website in order to rank with Google and other search engines. One of the best ways is by filling your website with SEO (search engine optimized) content, generally in the form of unique and original articles.

Your website or blog may offer affiliate merchandise, your own ebooks, or other products, but the one thing that many individuals do not understand is: Simply offering a product does not drive traffic to your website.

Simply offering a product will not put you on page one of search engine rankings. Okay, so that was two facts…the second one was a freebie.

The fastest way to rank well with the search engine gods is to provide engaging, intelligent, and informative SEO articles on topics relevant to your website.

SO WHAT IS SEO?

Generally, SEO (search engine optimization),can be defined as the activity of optimizing web sites in order to make them more search engine-friendly, thus ranking higher in search results. Professional Web content providers can provide articles or entire web sites with the proper content to drive your site to the top of search engine rankings.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A WEB SITE OR A WEB PAGE SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY?

In order to make any web site or page search engine friendly is by filling your site with relevant, unique content which uses the correct keyword phrases to show up on searches. There is a little more to it than that, but overall, it really is quite simple.

Your website is content is “crawled” periodically by search engine software called spiders or crawlers. Of course, this software is not human, so the only way that it can determine the content of your site is by “reading” or “crawling” the keywords that you use. The content of your site is processed and a determination is made as to the uniqueness and relevance of your website.

Once a site is indexed and calculated for relevancy, then it begins to show up on search engines. This is the main reason why your website should stay on track as far as a theme or subject. It is also a good reason why you should use a web content provider, which is a company experienced in writing SEO articles and web content that will give your site the very best opportunity to rank highly in searches.

Professional Web content writing services, such as Partnership Marketing, will optimize each article with the proper percentage of keywords and keyword phrases while providing your readers with articles that are intelligent and highly informative.

Yes, it’s true. I landed a brand new blog in the #5 spot in Google for a two-keyword phrase in 14 days. How’d I do it? It’s simple: I chose the right domain name.

Did you know that Google gives special ranking bonuses to certain kinds of domain names? It does, and a significant bonus at that. Choosing a domain name that exactly matches the keywords you want to rank for will give your site a great head-start in the rankings. It’s not a requirement for ranking well, but it does help a good bit.

In the case of the blog that I ranked #5, I purchased the domain name DietersBlog.net. I then posted 10 unique articles to the blog that I hired a ghostwriter to create for me. I didn’t get any links, or do any promotion of the site at all (I’ll be honest–I got distracted with some other work I was doing).

Two weeks later I checked the stats for the blog. I was happy to see that I was already getting traffic from Google, specifically for the phrase “dieter’s blog.” I ran the query through Google and, sure enough, my blog was ranked #5. This was in spite of the fact that there are 2.4 million competing web pages in Google’s index for the phrase, and despite the fact that the other pages ranking in the top 10 had a few links into them (You do know that Google favors links above all else, right?).

I checked again today, and it’s now at #7, but I also found that the blog ranks #3 for “dieters blog” (without the apostrophe). That emphasizes a side point: Google differentiates between keywords with apostrophes (possessive terms) and those just ending in s (plural terms).

So the next time you sit down to create a new site, be careful to do your keyword research before you purchase your domain name. Also, keep in mind that the “Exact Match Bonus” applies more to .com, .net and .org domain names. Avoid .info and the other less known top-level domains.

An exact-match domain name is only the first step, though. Once you have that domain name in place, you have to back it up with links to your site. “Dieter’s Blog”, while certainly a phrase worth ranking for, is not highly competitive, so I was able to get the ranking just on the strength of the domain name and the site’s content. However, for keywords that bring a lot of traffic, you need a lot of links.

My 3WayLinks.net system automatically builds links to your site in the way that Google likes to see, helping you to rank in Google very quickly. The system has achieved thousands of top 10 rankings in Google for hundreds of webmasters, and can do the same for you. For rock-solid proof of its effectiveness, visit 3WayLinks.net now.

Most of us have experienced times in our lives when we don’t exactly know how we are going to make it; when life seems bleak.
When we are there, it’s not a fun place to be. Never mind going to the gym, getting out of bed is a hurdle in itself. If you are currently at this place…don’t worry, you really can break out of it. Oh, and if you are in denial, here are some tell-tale signs…Do you only shower when you absolutely have to? Are there empty glasses, bottles, and McDonald’s containers on your dresser? Has checking the mail become a “once a week event”? Okay, denial time is over…you really can get out of this funk, it’s temporary and it’s no longer an option.
Very Important: When feeling like a loser…rule number one is to stop being your own worst enemy and absolutely stop comparing yourself with people around you who seem to be living the sweet life. Your time will come; your turn is right around the corner.
Because it is indeed a new year, a new start, and time to be on top of our game, I’ve decided to dedicate an entire section of Partnership Marketing’s website to “inspiration.” No, don’t worry, I’m not going to send you the motivational quote of the day, you can get that anywhere. Instead, I’m going to give you real help. Consider this section of the website to be your own personal trainer. (At the top of the page, it’s the “Business Inspiration” section)
This is 2009 and “failure is not an option.”

I’ve recently been asked if I do ghostwriting of tutorials, eBooks, and other projects. The answer to those questions is a resounding YES.
Back in the day of transcribing from cassette tapes; honestly, I’m not that old…But let me tell you the story anyway. I once had the project given to me; it was sort of a “pass the buck” deal, until it fell into my hands. I had the pleasure of first transcribing a series of speeches from cassette tapes. Once typed, I outlined the chapters, filled in the content, and yes…came up with quite a wonderful and motivating book. I’ve completed a few such projects, but that one was by far my most memorable.
A box of approximately 12 poorly recorded cassette tapes dumped on my desk. One tape in particular was so badly garbled that it reminded me of those teenage years….Oh, you remember, before you could look up lyrics.com and you had to rewind the song 48 times just to realize that you will NEVER know what the hell the band was actually saying… “blinded by the light, wrapped up like a (rewind)….wrapped up like a (rewind)….like a deuson? a douche? a WHAT???????????” Well, maybe now you can feel my pain as I tried to figure out what this man was saying. Just between you and I, there were a few sentences that I left out….
The finished product, I must say, was something to be proud of….and unless your ghostwriting project involves the lyrics to “Blinded by the light”…..Let’s go for it.
