Social Networking websites has been very helpful to most of the bloggers now all over the world. The most popular in this field is Facebook. Social Networking site is sometimes called Social Bookmarking site. Social Networking sites are being used by most people to communicate with their friends and family. Since people are into Social Networking site, we bloggers can take advantage of it. Thru these Social Networking or Bookmarking websites, we can share pictures, videos and links. Submitting your blog post entry to this website can possibly provide you load of visitors. That’s where we get traffic now. Commonly used platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Technorati, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit and so many more. As you can see here in my blog, I have a list of referring websites and number one in the rank is visitors from StumbledUpon. In my Google Analytics report, it is Google and StumbleUpon who contributed so much traffic in my blog. So to those who have just started blogging, I think submitting your links and letting your readers share your blog posts to this Social Networking sites can be very helpful to get traffic and also to generate income if you are serving ads on your blog.

Why did I became Non-Exclusive Member from a Glitterati Member in Nuffnang?

Posted by Boffill Sunday, October 17, 2010
For how many months, my account in Nuffnang was a Glitterati. It's an exclusive membership in Nuffnang where you get loads of features compared to a non-exclusive member. I tried logging to Innit, a Glitterati-only section in Nuffnang, but I wasn't able to log in because it says I am no longer a Glitterati member. I wonder why my account fell down from Glitterati to a non-exclusive. This will really affect the Nuffnang ads appearing in my blogs that's why I am a bit disappointed about what happened. I already sent an email to Nuffnang regarding this matter. I hope everything's gonna be fixed soon.

Submitting Your Website Or Blog To Web Directories

Posted by Boffill Tuesday, July 13, 2010
SEO is one of the greatest tools that we use to generate traffic in our website or blog. META tags, URL Submission, Exchanging Links, Web or blog directories etc. are examples of SEO. Right now, let’s talk about Online Directories. An online directory is a place where people find information about a certain website or a blog. In our daily life, when we want to call a certain business entity or if we want to order a pizza, we get their telephone number from a Telephone Directory. Online Directory does the same as the telephone directory. As a website owner or a blogger, what you can do is you can submit your website to some online directories. Most people are bookmarking Online Directories for future preferences. So when you submit your website or blog to them, I can assure you that you’re gonna have numbers of unique visitors browsing around your website or reading your blog posts. Unique visitors is equal to traffic coming in and out of your website or blog so, the higher the traffic or unique visitors, the higher the chances of your posts to be read or your ads to be clicked (that is if you are serving ads on your website or blog). Website or blog submission doesn’t take much effort now because in some websites, it’s just a click away. Buttons like Facebook Share, Add to Technorati, Stumble This, Tweet This, Digg This etc can help you submit certain posts on your website or blog. That’s what I do normally to submit my articles to online directory.

When you submit your article to an online directory, make sure that you provide good comments about it and also tag it or categorize it to a certain topic. That would help your readers of online directory browse for your website easily.

Let Blog Advertising Help Your Business Grow

Advertising is one of the greatest need of a business. When a certain business entity doesn't advertise their product, then there's no assurance that they will have customers. Businesses are anywhere so are the advertisements. Even here in my blog, you can see lots of advertisement. There are different media of advertisement. Example is the roving advertisement where you can see posters or streamers in a car or a truck. You can notice that mostly in cabs. In the Internet, businesses are finding lots of ways to grow their market. A very common medium that a business entity can use to advertise their product is by paying a blogger to review their products. Blog advertising is a very effective way of showing off your product.
