The Responsibilities And Duties of A Webmaster is a post from: Extreme Trix

Websites are successful today not merely with good layout and design, fonts and pictures, but essentially because of good content that is original, informative, interesting, easy to understand & absorb. Its important to have a good layout, navigation and categorization but the ultimate success of a site is down to the quality of the content it produces

While building a website, a substantial percentage of the budget must be allocated  to content. It helps to persuade and convince and it is the power of words that gets visitors to websites, since the casual surfer will visit only if he is impressed with what he reads and it’s the lasting effect of what he reads will make him return to your site in the future.

However, everyone does not have the gift of being articulate and being able to express in words what has to be said, with eloquence and style that will impress, compel and hence prove effective. The solution then lies in outsourcing content writing. There are thousands of freelance writers taking up writing assignments but it is important to be able to gauge who is good enough for you. An outsider as a writer is unbiased and therefore can provide a balanced perspective. Besides, it will prove to be a great time saver for you if you know quality content is being produced that you are happy to put your name to.

The flip side of outsourcing great website content to professional writers is the expense involved since all good things do not come cheap. Besides the writer selected will not have the same insights into the business as you, will take time to absorb the information he needs to be able to articulate it into words that make perfect sense. His style of writing may clash with your personality, and this will go against the adage that the website and its design must be an extension of your personality.

The only way out then is to try and attempt writing good copy yourself. Writing is not difficult, it only needs a good command over language and putting thoughts into words on paper, or more appropriately, on the computer screen. Setting out to write great content will then require the following steps to be followed:

• Know your targets and objectives- Knowing your target audience and what you are setting out to achieve is crucial since it helps understand what information needs to be assimilated into content. The goals of your content though, may be different from those of the website, which primarily will focus on higher sales or conversions. Content however, has to rise beyond an advertisement and establish a channel of communication with clients, visitors and readers. It needs to reflect your innermost thoughts and beliefs which will make them respect you and your expertise in the field.
• Use examples to carry the message- It has been found that eloquent language is often passed up since most people do not like to read it. They would much rather read about real life stories, examples and instances that they can relate to. Therefore, instead of spending time learning to use flowery language, just use examples from your own experience.
• Make a list of phrases and lines you use- It is a good idea to write the phrases you use most often and make them part of your content, and if there are statements that do not appeal, make sure they do not form part of your content. Eventually, you will be able to evolve a style of your own, and it will merge well with your website.
• Make a plan, use bullet points and divide- Sitting down to write content that will appeal will need planning. It is best to jot down ideas, make bullet points and then divide your content into sections to address all the points. The end result will have a good flow and all avenues covered.
• Get feedback from others- Once a copy is ready, and you have done your bit by writing, reviewing and editing it, it is time to take an outsider’s opinion, which is fair and impartial, with a critical analysis as well. This will help to get a taste of public response to your content, and you will be able to make changes before you post it on your website.

Writing great content will take time and there will be times when ideas and words do not flow. At such times, take a break and stop thinking about the content, till your mind is refreshed, and new ideas will automatically flow. The secret of great content writing lies in practice and experience, and the more you write the better you will get to be at writing.

Building a Better Website with Great Content. is a post from: Extreme Trix

In a constant battle to increase traffic, marketers employ many differ tactics either to increase their ranking or drive traffic through the social media channels but one of the key factors is what the searchers find once they get to your site is what will keep them coming back. If you can produce content that grabs their attentions, gets them to subscribe to your rss feeds or bookmark your pages, then your content has done its job

The question then is how to provide that kind of content?. Content that is explosive and grabs the reader and makes them want more Listed below are a few tips to succeed in writing explosive content.

• Know your audience and write for them-

  The best articles and posts are written when there is a target audience in mind. Words are formed perfectly with the image of the reader in mind. The content has to be on track and aimed at the specific readers in question, pertaining to their subject, their issues and what they would relate to. Writing on any subject or topic and expecting it to hit the right chord, is incorrect because the reader will just click away. The internet reader’s memory and attention span is short and he will click away the minute he feels it is not up to his expectations and is not adding value. The readers like to read content that answers their queries and can feel that it is exactly suited for their needs.

• Catchy titles and headlines-

  The biggest eye catcher is the headlines. The title has to be appropriate, the kind that will make the reader wish to stay on the site to read the whole article. If they like the article as much as the headlines, chances are that they may even share it with their friends or social networks. In fact headlines also help in getting picked by search engines. Writing great headlines requires clarity of thought and understanding what exactly readers look for in that field, and the article that follows must stay on track as well. The headline needs to be simple not subtle, clear and not cleverly carved, and it will hit the right chord.

• Content must live up to the promise-

  If the blog promises a set of five tips, the content must actually have those five tips. Delivering what is promised helps to build a reputation and capture the attention of the readers. The power that comes in the hands the writer can make the content explode as it moves by reference to a larger audience.

• Write well enough to reach entire communities of e-readers-

  The best content may not reach the success level it deserves if it cannot spread through the right group of people;. Communities have to be built with dedication and then articles shared with them to become popular and passed on. This will require several steps like guest blogging, which entails writing posts for different blogs as a guest. Not only does it increase the writer’s knowledge, improves his style with all the comments, it also popularizes the writer since people reading different blogs associate certain writing styles with the person, and if they like it, they look forward to reading more from the same person. This helps to develop a community of devoted readers, who will read the blogs and pass them on. Similarly, Blog comments help to spread word about what you are writing about especially if you are commenting on a similar topic. Social media networks are a fantastic way to spread the word about your blog, since these have millions of members and many people have hundreds of friends, who they can share information and articles with.

• Going viral at the right time-

  This helps in enhancing the potential and reach of your  blog post especially if it is launched at a specific time of the day. It has been found that blogs that go viral mid week, typically on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening, have better results, perhaps because that is the time the maximum people are logged into social media networks. The results of a post written on a Monday for example, may not be the same.

• Ensure that it is easy to share-

  Great content, posted in the right place, but it may come to nothing if it cannot be shared simply because the blogger forgot to place a share button on the blog. This needs to be done at the outset by using social media plugins.

• Blog formatting-

  this is ever so important. A long paragraph without any breaks seems like an endless ramble, which will lose the reader in the first few lines. It is important to place information in short easily understandable paragraphs, with words highlighted and simple vocabulary used.

The end result will be a highly popular e-marketing blog which will spread in fame and explode online.

Importance of Landing Pages in Your Affiliate Campaigns. is a post from: Extreme Trix

The most common problem faced by new bloggers is that they don’t get any topic to write about. As they don’t get any topic to write about they start writing spam or review posts, which is not good for SEO. There is no use of writing spam or reviews as no one will like to read your post, but if your content is nice or interesting, then everyone will like to read it which will help you increase your traffic.

Pro-blogger

I know many newbies don’t get hours and hours of time to spend on internet so they also don’t get updated about their niche. For a blogger it’s always advised to cover latest updates or news about the niche he is blogging because covering a latest and original update would help him to get organic traffic.

For e.g, – If you are blogging on “Technology” niche, then covering an update about Apple Macbook’s new mouse will give more traffic than covering an update about Microsoft Windows seven. Covering an update about Apple’s new mouse will bring more traffic because it is new and still many people are unaware of it, but covering a review of Windows seven will not bring more traffic to your site because it is an old news and many people have already covered the same.

What to do if you don’t get time spend hours on internet, but want to cover latest and original updates on your blog/site?

I have a solution for all those new bloggers who don’t get time to spend hours on internet, but want to cover latest updates about their niche (which would help them to increase their traffic). You can use Google Alerts and watch new channels to stay updated about your niche.

• News Channels – New channels like IBN 7 and Ajj Tak always show cool news in all niches like technology, shopping, marketing, money making and a lot more. So I will advise you to watch news channels in your free time like while having your lunch.
• Google Alerts – is a very useful way to keep in touch of what’s going around the world. You don’t have to waste your time going to search engines and find something. Just add a Google alert for your favorite topic and Google will automatically email you about the latest information on that topic.

Once you develop a strong foundation in the niche of your own choice, take up a dedicated time of the day (away from any distraction) and just write in. I am damn sure covering latest updates in niche of your own choice would help you to get good traffic in minimum time.

Task – Try Google Alerts for a week and watch IBN 7, cover latest updates from your niche, after a week or two check your traffic and please do let us know via comment.

It has been more than a month since I have written any tip for new bloggers, so today in this post I am going to write some common, but effective tips to monetize a blog or website. If your blog or website is new, then I will recommend you not to use any advertisement for at least a month because putting advertisements might make your visitors feel that you blog only for money. You can start monetizing your blog after a month or two. Here are some tips to monetize your blog -

• Find a most clicked area – Before putting any advertisement in your blog, first find a most clicked area, to find it, place a small badge or image (the badge should be attractive and should match your theme) with analytic code (to track number of clicks) in your sidebar. After a week or two check your analytics and if you find 100+ numbers of click, then this means you can easily make money by putting an affiliate ad there. There are varieties of affiliate ad networks, you can choose according to your niche, here on Extreme Trix we are using HostGator and WidgetBucks affiliate program.
• Advertisement between posts – You can earn a good amount of money by blending Google Adsense,  AdBrite, Chitika or WidgetBucks advertisements in between the – post. If you are using WordPress (self hosted) as your blogging platform, then can easily show advertisements wherever you want on your blog using Advertising Manager plug-in (which is one of the top-10 WordPress plug-ins).
• In-line advertisements – If you get 5000+ daily page views on blog, then In-line advertisements are best way to make money. Here on Extrene Trix we have tried Kontera, AdBrite in-line and currently I am using Infolinks.

Do you have any other tip to monetize blogs? If yes do share it with us via comment.

Well, I think we have already discussed lots of tips and tutorial on Blogging, but I never posted any tip to choose web-hosting. Today I was free so I decided to write an article on tips to choose web-hosting. I decided to write about web-hosting tips because never talked about web-hosting on Extreme Trix and web-hosting plays major role in SEO, which is most important thing for our blogs/sites.

Servers

Tips to choose web-hosting

• Read reviews – Remember the first thing to do before selecting a web hosting account is to read reviews from trusted publishers, this will help you to get information of various web hosting services so you can easily choose the right Web-Hosting service provider.
• Get know what you need – The second tip is to consider yourself what you need.. I mean which type of hosting suits you. The hosting requirement depend on the kind of application you want to run on your hosting account.
• Check their service quality – After following above two tips all you have to do it check the quality of hosting server, for example if you read some reviews about Host Gator, considered yourself what you need to run your server and found it suitable for your site or blog, then the last thing you have to do it ask their users about their advantages and drawback. In order to make sure about the quality of the web host provider, also take some time to monitor and test the server.

If you are looking for best hosting at cheapest price, then Host Gator will be the best choice to give try once. Make sure to find right dedicated hosting to ensure success in your online business.

I have already posted many posts under Blogging and SEO category but never talked about Google’s Blogger, so today in this article I am going to give a brief information of Blogger and tutorial to setup custom domain for Blogger. Actually previously Blogger was not of Google, it was started by a tiny company in San Francisco called Pyra Labs in August of 1999. When it became popular Google bought it from Pyra Labs, you can read the full story here.

As Google bought it, it started adding some cool features to it and custom domain is one of its best feature, but most of bloggers who started blogging on sub-domain (blog.blogspot.com) don’t know how to setup custom domain for their blog, as there are many benefits of using custom domain starting from branding and later on SEO.

Watch this video tutorial to know – How to setup custom domain for Blogger blogs.

Please share your comments and don’t forget to check other articles filled under Blogging category.

There are some bloggers who are blogging on WordPress, but  they don’t even know what is SEO. So today I decided to write an article on SEO and WordPress optimization for better SEO. Before writing any tip, let me explain you first what is it.

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via natural search results. Typically, the earlier  a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

How can we optimize our WordPress for it?

WordPress software is said to be optimized for SEO by default, but though there are some better optimizations which can be use to boost search engine results, in this article I am going to explain you all common SEO optimization tips.

• Title of post – The post title of your article should be always user- friendly and catchy so that who so ever reads the title get attracted towards it.
• Meta Title – There is a little difference between the title and the meta title. Title is the heading of your article or post while meta title is the title you want search engine to show in search results.
• Description – Your post/article summary or discription should be catchy because most of readers first read the summary or description of the article, then if they find the summary interesting, then only they read full article.
• Keywords – Keywords should be properly used depending upon your article’s summary as they will be targeting the search results.
• Content – Some newbies thing that posting often will them to increase their site traffic, they are wrong!. There is no use of writing spam or review posts as no one will like to read your post, but if your content is nice or interesting, then everyone will like to read it which will help you increase your traffic so always try to write interesting articles.

Plug-ins for SEO Optimization

Hope till now you guys may be familiar with WordPress plug-ins as I told you about them in  “How to install WordPress plug-ins” post of “Learn WordPress in three days” series, don’t worry if you are yet not familiar with it, I am again going to explain you.

Plugins are PHP based  tools which extend and expand the functionality of WordPress. You can add plugins by just uploading it to your wp-content > plugins folder that is in your WordPress directory. More info.

• All in one SEO pack - Its a nice plug-in with inbuilt option for entire required field for SEO optimization of any post or page.
• Socialize – The plugin was designed to make it very easy to manage. Instead of adding new meta keys, like other plugins require, there is an additional panel in your posts admin page that allows you to select which bookmarks you want to display. This is to encourage people to choose more relevant bookmarks for their posts.

SEO optimized themes -

There are some WordPress themes available on triple W which are already fully SEO optimized, you don’t need to do anything with those themes they will automatically do what is necessary.

• Swift theme - This theme is mainly aimed at blogs running on low server resources and for those who like clean and simple designs. It’s always good have themes like SWIFT at your disposal so that you can easily switch to it if you are expecting a spike in traffic from social media sites.
• Sahina Tech – Its 3-columns simple, clean theme with lightning fast speed., we can add an image on each post.. we can put anything anywhere on front page just like Digital Inspiration and best thing is that it use only 4 images so it’s blazing fast!
