    My aim is to provide useful information to both beginners and to those who wish to improve their blogging skills. My guest authors and I blog on the themes of becoming a better blogger, building a better blog, and effective blog promotion.

    I choose to create a single blog promotion thread and add to it as I publish new posts. Doing this provides more space for others to post the Showcase Forum as that results in their posts remaining on the front page longer.

    The blog I need help with is onecoolsitebloggingtips.com.

The latter are newcomers who make and sell virtual horses. Well, the two have wound up in the courts over a copyright dispute.

    January 7, 2011 Natural Links: Google Warns Webmasters
    Google is warning and penalizing websites for excessive link exchanging, link selling, cloaking and other link schemes. Examples of link schemes can include:
    * Links intended to manipulate PageRank
    * Links to web spammers or bad neighborhoods on the web
    * Excessive reciprocal links or excessive link exchanging (“Link to me and I’ll link to you.”)
    * Buying or selling links that pass PageRank

    The most important factor contributing to your Google ranking, is reader-friendliness, and naturally acquired organic links are the best kind of links because they indicate that real people are showing an interest in your content.

    If your web pages and the site get a lot of reciprocal (two-way links), especially if they are not related then the search engines will assume that these are solicited links, and search engines do not give much importance to such two-way or reciprocal links and may even penalize your site.

    January 22, 2011 Typosquatting Impact
    Typosquatting is a pervasive and lucrative practice, a form of cybersquatting for profit also called URL hijacking. While most large businesses like WordPress.com do act to protect their brands by registering possible misspellings of their trademarks and brands, those who own smaller businesses are often unaware such protective measures can be taken until it is too late.

    January 24, 2011 How a Dream Blogging Job Found Me
    Key point: only if you are offering valuable or interesting information and insights might readers get interested in YOU. Posting your CV and begging “please hire me” is not the strategy – it’s about demonstrating the knowledge and skills you can offer, so that someone might think, “I could use some of that.” Read the full post > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/01/24/how-a-dream-blogging-job-found-me/

    January 28, 2011 12 Step Blog Evaluation
    Visitors expect to quickly access specific information when they visit blogs. First impressions are critical when it comes to them making the choice to linger and read and perhaps return, or to click out and not return.

    After blogging for a while you need to assess whether or not your blog is on the right track or if adjustments need to be made. The results of your evaluation may be branding changes, setting new goals, a change in theme, or even a complete blog make-over.

    February 1, 2011 Bloggers: Are You Still MultiTasking?
    If you think juggling phone calls, e-mail, instant messages and computer work makes you more effective or productive then several studies say you are wrong. Their results point in the opposite direction and highlight the fact that the more heavily you multitask the less effective and productive you become. I seems the more multitasking we do the more mediocre the results are. (Click the title above to read the full post.)

    Why doesn't WordPress block all referrals from domains with .cc extensions. CC seems to relate to the Cocos Islands (population 600) and there seems to be a growing problem with spam from this domains.

    Is WordPress associated with these domains and is just trying to build audiences for its corporate valuation?

    February 9, 2011 Internet Access Blockouts Costly and Futile
    Blocking internet access has been a common government tactic used to censor information and opinion flow. Several countries come to mind but China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia are believed to extend greater censorship over the net than any other countries in the world. What the most recent blockout in Egypt demonstrates is that internet censorship leads to innovation. Use of Facebook by users from Egypt has surged following the restoration of Internet service to the country.

    If the country you lived in blocked internet access would you look for and use workarounds to connect to your blog and your readers? Click the blog title above and join the discussion.

    Hi Harry,
    It didn't take long. Honest. After awhile it becomes very quick and easy to do. :) I I interpret what's said in the the sticky post in this support forum as creating a single thread for each username. I just have this one thread for all my blog promotions for this blog and I update it. That way there is more room on the Showcase forum for everyone else. I have yet to create a thread for my personal blog. It's on my "to-do" list which is a mile long.

    @TT - interesting you mention your personal blog, because I was going to ask you do you have one. After all, you have been blogging for 6 years, surely it can't all have been about how to blog! :))

    As useful as your tips are (I have read quite a few), I was starting to wonder about the other TT! :)

    March 7, 2011 Is Google penalizing no-follow sites? The drama lamas who blog for money projecting the silly notion that the internet is full of no-follow blogs. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Matt Cutts answers them in this webmaster video.
