How to put more Value to your Information

Should blogs be consider a good source of information? We bloggers like to think so. Blogs are the new medium and the easiest medium to make any information useful and professional. But I agree with Andrew Buchmannn about how useful is blogging as a tool of information. He pointed out that anyone can just add anything on the web and uncertain verification system makes it even worse to public eye with sensitive or important information. As bloggers we try to use the right information but doesn't always interrupt it right. I think we bloggers should consider and know how our visitor looks at the information we provide and how as a reader you can evaluate the information better.


Always include your source


This is pretty obvious but just adding simple source ink or reference link to the information you are providing. Don't worry about SEO, make it nofollow if you wish, your readers won't check. While giving your information add the phrases like 'according to source name' just like your read in non-fictional book and newspapers. It gives more professionalities to your information and also helps you recheck your information your providing. This is pretty much the main point and need you need to meet. In addition to create more value to your information you should try to do the followings.

Add an Authors' bio


Since anyone with a computer an add anything to the web, you should have a unique way to show that your information and authority it higher than 'anyone'. Make your true self and show off your experties and link your picture to Google authorship which will help you both with better image of your blog and SEO.

Make your blog professional and related


If your blog is completely about something else there isn't a good reason for you reader to take your 'information' as a trusted or validated one. Same goes for a blog with bad design and 'scammy' styles. If your blog look professional and your blog is related to the information your providing, then your visitor will most likely to be happy than with a scammy site with right information.

How to evaluate your information


Well you can't, not always. Pretty much very thing on the net is on the net interlinking. If you are looking for higher authority, always check the source, check the terms and conditions and search the web for more information about it. Some information are easily evauateable but others aren't. Just like you know not to use any information from Wikipedia to your paper, you should know, not every website can provide you the safe-zoned information you are looking for. Also check the above method as well to see what your unconscious mind think.

A simple guide for a successful blog

Successful blogs mostly means lots of traffic and maybe earning a well. I don't think there is any secret unless you want to go illegal with black hat hacks to get more traffic and make your blog the 'successful' one. Here I have listed some of the basic steps that are the key factor for a successful blog that you probably know already.


Good Content


This is always the top section for any blogging tips article and that is for a good reason. Even if you get all the traffic and your content has no value or been copy pasted you will have a bad blogging life. So before anything make sure whatever you write has a reasonable value to it.

Good Traffic


There are so many 'secrets' out there for getting more traffic but what you actually should be worrying about is your targetted traffic and build a good reputation around it. Become well known with with your name and avatar in that niche by not sharing but participating to get traffic. Some of the well known practices are guest blogging, commenting, and social site blogger community.

Write More


Write more blog posts and make them useful and high quality. This is the only how your blog grows and increases traffic. The 'you don't say' math behind this is that the more article you have the more search you win and share to get more traffic as well as keeping your old followers updated.

Page Rank


you probably have read about many tricks to get better page rank and became confused when other posts says 'you shouldn't be worrying about page rank- just write good contents' Well that is absolutely right but for new bloggers only. Once you got all your blogging tools set up, you should now do some work to build good page rank. Even if you have tons of blog posts and you are in the tenth page of google, there won't be much traffic that you will get from google. Simple ways to get good page rank is by writing guest posts on other high rank blogs, make your external links dofollow and link to your old posts with the new ones.


These are the overall look behind success of any blogs. Just make sure you follow all this while trying to improve your blog. It's the simplest blueprint for your blogging success. Take your time and follow the steps slowly with ll the detailed article you can find on Google for each. Leave your thoughts and ideas on the comment section below. Happy blogging :)

Making your blog better with simple planning

Everything in life has a purpose. We do what we do to get something out of it. Not always that it turns out perfectly but we have a perfect goal set in our mind. I think thinking and evaluating these goals and  strategies can have a big impact on the success. Success definitely doesn't meant to be a pro blogger or earn money. The goal I am focusing on and will discuss further is the small goals for specific things. To make this better and profitable.













My part of the story


I have a pretty messy blog. I am not a programmer, web designer, SEO master or maybe not even a blogger. I am just a regular internet browsing guy in front of a computer. Not much to expect from this anyway but since this is summer I am wasting/spending my time on blogging. I know blog can be fun, can be social and it can also be profitable but in my cause it just too messy to identify what is going on. I need to improve my blog, understand my purpose and make a rational future planning for this blog. I know many new bloggers will be have the same problem so I guess since I am a sharing machine, I can share some of my tips and ideas to plan for a organized and evaluate-able blog so you can actually understand the profit or lost.


Write down your blog status


If you actually want to progress, you should know what to compare to. So before doing any changes or taking your 'big steps' go ahead and write down all the current status of your blog. You can include all sorts of status, but the main focus should be what you actually need to improve upon (ex. traffic). But don't look at this status to compare tomorrow, divide your total improvement time in to two sections and compare with your list once in the middle and afterwards at the end.

Go back to beginning


We tend to continue with a routine and fall into our own trap. Get out of it. Mess up our daily or weekly routine for blogging and rethink everything from complete beginning. What you would do to start a fresh new blog? A start-over on your new blog? How would you organize it? How would you plan on it? Why not do those in your current blog. Forget about your old post and template again and blog as you are starting over and continue with it.

Copy other bloggers


Yes, you heard it right! Copy other bloggers! We learn from higher authority in school- college and our everyday family life. Why not learn fro 'successful' bloggers who already did what your trying? Of course by this I am not saying to copy their template, css and posts but to copy their method and styles and habits. It is likely that they already did your mistake and figured out for better.


Understand your blog


What are you blogging about? Why? Do you have a specific type of reader? What they want? What you want? What you need to improve upon? What changes that you have to make and how fast can you do it? Plan it, make a list of things you think need to be changed and change it over time (not over-night). Make a short time goal and make a long time goal. After your done with your

Don't get carried away


Don't read too many blog post such as this. Read technical blogs that will actually help you towards your goal. You should learn basics of SEO which shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. A little bit of motivation with it will be enough for you to make what you want to make; for better!

To summarize everything learn from pros but don't necessarily take tis from them, make small goals within a bigger goal by understanding your needs and actually do the right changes and see the result by comparing the old blog. Happy blogging :)
