Social networking is an essential part of marketing on the internet. But for social networking to work for your business, you really have got to be seen to be participating in these communities.

If you are anything like me, you probably belong to a handful of social networking sites and do not have the time to go to each one to post an update.

A stagnant social networking profile does nothing for your reputation. Problem is with so many other things to do, one soon loses track

There is a tool I have been using for a while now to help make things easier.
It allows you to post to all your social networking profiles with one click.

Admittedly all the sites will display the same message but it does keep your profile active.

And if your update contains a link then you could get up to 42 different sites that the link is posted to. Not a bad thing

The tool is http://ping.fm

Anyone following me on twitter will notice that some of my updates are via ping.fm

It's a free service and really user friendly.
There are 42 social networking sites that you can update from your ping dashboard. You do have to be registered with each of these social networking sites and ping.fm will ask for your log in details, stands to reason really.

And you'll find that you may already be a member of the social networking sites updated via ping.fm

the current list includes facebook, twitter, linkedIn, friendfeed, diigo, Hootsuite, Flickr, Posterous, Vox and more

So if you want the ability to update all your social networking profiles with one click, check out ping.fm

So I have managed to get a few of the posts on this and other blogger blogs to rank well with the search engines for a bunch of keywords

Everyone in affiliate marketing goes on about how great Wordpress is and how all those plug ins allow you to enhance your optimization efforts. And there is no disputing that this is true

But blogger posts can also be easily optimized and you have the advantage of quick indexing with blogger

Here are a few on page optimization tips for your blogger blog

On page SEO tip 1: Domain name. Before you choose the domain name of your blogger blog, do some keyword research and determine which keyword is most relevant to your blog.

Once you have identified the keyword, use it as the first word of your blogspot domain name
Remember, the earlier in your URL the keyword appears, the better for your SEO

On page SEO tip 2: Post title. When setting up your blog, you should have selected yes for the option to allocate each post it's own unique URL.

If you have done this each post's URL is your blogger domain name + the post title.

You should, where possible, include the keyword you are targeting in each post, in the title of your post

On page SEO tip 3: Template. We know that the google bot reads the webpage from LEFT to RIGHT and TOP to BOTTOM.

So why would you want to choose a template that has the about me and other widgets on the left side of the page? They have little or no SEO value.

It makes better sense to use a template that has the blog post to the left of the page and all the other widgets, ads etc on the right side of the page

It really is amazing how many bloggers are burning rubber out there. By that I mean they are working really hard but doing all the wrong things.

No wonder people think blogging for an income does not work

I was at a forum which I have been a member of for about three years and have about 60 posts on there.

Yeah, I know 60 posts for three years does not make me the most active member of the forum. And it is one of the more active webmaster forums.

I noticed something odd. A chap who had about 2000 posts for a one year membership declared his earnings. About $80 a month.

Shocking.


Now I am not saying forum participation is bad, in fact it's a good thing and I get a fair amount of traffic from the forums. But you have got to be smart about it. Having one well thought out and relevant answer to someones question is going to go much further than lots of inanae posts. it's about the quality of the message not the quantity.

So if you are a marketer who is doing your own thing and not outsourced, try to focus on return on investment regarding time and effort. it'll help you decide how often you post in the forums and how much time you leave for other effective things like article marketing, social networking, product creation, content creation.... need I go on?

I don't know about you by $80 a month is not a lot of money, it's quite bad.

So why did this grab my attention?

This guy has done what he was told to do by the gurus, forum participation and he was actively participating as well.

But if you are going to post 2000 posts in a forum in one year...... Doesn't leave any time for much else.

See what I mean by working smart rather than hard.

I’m really glad and very honored to have Garry Conn as my first interview candidate on RishabhSood.Net. Garry is a authority figure in the blogging world and he was willing to share his experiences with us here on RishabhSood.Net, I’m sure it’ll be very helpful to you guys, as he’s been into blogging from a very good time and is well experienced. Here’s the interview :
Rishabh Sood: What inspired you to start blogging and built up your interest in it?
Garry Conn: I have had an interest with the Internet and building websites since the mid 90′s. When blogging started to become more popular I slowly started to gain more interest in it due to the high level of simplicity it was to take a site online. WordPress in paticular is my favorite web publishing software.

Rishabh Sood What was the main challenge that you faced when you newly started as a blogger?
Garry Conn: Promotion was a challenge. It was really difficult to get my name out there on the Net and climb the rankings. Blogging is very competitive and other bloggers within you niche naturally tend not to lend a hand in helping you surpass them.

Rishabh Sood: Garryconn.com, Could you please throw some light on it how you came up with it and how did you help it reach the level.
Garry Conn: Well, as you know, my name is Garry Conn and that’s how I secured the domain name. While I own and operate many different blogs and sites, GarryConn.com is a site that’s personal to me. It’s a site that I continue to build and grow, and one that reflects a high level of quality content. People are able to acquire a lot of very useful information from reading my blog.

Rishabh Sood: According to you, what would be the major challenges that a blogger would face today?
Garry Conn: Competition is a very huge challenge. Finding a unique and untapped niche is another. Ultimately, a blogger wants to become the leading source of information for their topic. It’s quite hard to do that today. Don’t get me wrong… it can be done, but it was much easier in the early 2000′s.
Another challenge is the constant changes to SEO. While years ago, it was very simple to rank for keywords in search engines. Today, search engines, such as Google, make the process much more complex.

Rishabh Sood Have you ever had a thought that, Now you should quit blogging and you can’t take it anymore? If yes,When and why
Garry Conn: Of course… however, that goes with any challenge individuals take. I must say though, conquering the challenges faced with blogging is quite rewarding, also it can be quite profitable as well. The point is, no one should quit at anything that set goals at achieving, whether that’s with blogging or becoming a pilot.

Rishabh Sood: What common mistakes do you find newbies make while promoting their blogs?
Garry Conn: New bloggers tend to try to take short-cuts. There’s no short-cuts with becoming a pro blogger. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, motivation, and a geniune desire to help people. New bloggers also tend to follow other bloggers of higher authority towards learning. This, in some cases, can be bad, because many bloggers have an aim to earn a profit from their readers. Many times, bloggers promote products and services that fail to cater to their reader’s best interest.

Rishabh Sood: According to you, What are the top 5 ways to Promote your blog?
Garry Conn: The top five ways to promote your blog is by organic ranking in Google for long-tail keywords and phrases. This is achieved as your blog increases the number of published articles. Also, as your blog ages, your articles to rank better in the search results. The second leading way to promote your blog is with an email mailing list. Aside from that, social networking sites do fairly well. StumbleUpon, Digg, and Twitter would account for the third, forth, and fifth source.

Rishabh Sood: What is your opinion on using Blackhat ways for blog promotion and to gain rank?
Garry Conn: You’ll get busted and all your other hard work and energy will get wasted.

Rishabh Sood: What is your Golden rule in blogging ? Is it the content the design, or something else ?
Garry Conn: The content is by far the most important aspect of blogging. The higher the quality the more likely people will enjoy reading it and the more likely search engines will rank it high in the search results. Content, in many cases, is viewed via RSS, which has no design implementations at all. So while the design of your blog does play a role towards first impressions, many people tend to over-look design for quality in the content and confidence in the author.

Rishabh Sood: Have you recently been in any other projects other than garryconn.com? And are there any future plans to start something new?
Garry Conn: I am always staying ahead of the curve. I always stay busy with multiple projects. As mentioned before, GarryConn.com is nothing more than a personal blog that caters to the needs of the people reading. However, frequently use the site to aid and jumpstart many of my online projects.
