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.

Facebook is yet another social network that has gained much popularity in recent years. There have been many other social networks before Facebook, but none could reach the popularity graph of Facebook in such a quick time. Today Facebook is not just about socializing, but even emerging as best social media to post information regarding company or service and can be used for business. You can use this social media to promote your products and services, to acquire new clients, or even get traffic to your website or blog. In case, if you still wondering about how to get target visitors from social media like Facebook on your website then here are few vital social media optimization tips that you can follow:

Try to include information regarding your website on your wall or in photo gallery- Facebook is one of the few social networking that facilitates you to write a lot about you and your endeavors. Adding to this, you may even add or include pictures, so try to have the maximum use of all these opportunities and build the interest in you and your products.

Always try to build a good network- You need to understand that your network is your major capital in social networking websites. Therefore, always try to invite your friends and partners and ask them to join as your supporter. In fact, the best exercise that you can follow is you should always search for people with interests similar to yours. However, make sure you never spam, remember this is not the way to encourage people to join your network.

You have to post regularly - Posting regularly is the best recipe for success on Facebook. You need to understand that if you don’t publish new content regularly, the traffic to your Facebook profile and correspondingly the traffic to your website will automatically get slow and may affect the traffic. The chances are very high that you may not be able to post on a daily basis, so the best thing that you can do is try to do it as frequently as you can. If nothing else then you may also try to update your status regularly.

Try to arrange your page- Facebook is one of the few social networks that provide you the flexibility to move around many of the boxes. Just for example, if you put the RSS feed with the links to your blog in a visible space, this simple step can easily help you in generating lots of traffic for your blog or even website from Facebook account.

You can also use Facebook social ads- If you are unable to get target visitors the most appropriate and effective way you can get the traffic is by using Facebook Social ads. These are just like PPC ads and starting a campaign is similar to an AdWords campaign.

You can also start a group - Start a group about something related to your business and invite people to join it. Following this method has a great advantage as this approach is the simplest way of getting the targeted visitors who are only interested in your profile, product or your services, etc.

It is not possible to compile a complete list of all the tactics you can use in order to drive traffic from Facebook to your site, but following just few basics as we have listed here, might increase the chances of considerable increase in ratio of target visitors from Facebook to your website or blog.
