Whether you realize it or not, comments are the most valuable part of your blog. They are the reactions, questions, and thoughts that go through the readers mind after reading your content, and you need to know how to leverage off of them.

 The main function of the comment is to provide feedback on whatever comes to mind to your reader. There are 3 specific categories of comments, each of which will help you in a variety of ways.

 You submit your articles everyday to Digg, Technorati, and Delicious, in the hopes that one of them will gain traction and net you some traffic. However no one besides you ever votes your stuff up, and so you’re caught in the endless cycle that never lands you more than a few clicks a day. With Digg and other Social Networking sites, such as Technorati and Delicious, dominated by the big players in blogging, the idea of leveraging off of social networking for smaller blogs seems unrealistic if not impossible. The problem is you’re targeting the completely wrong audience!

The flaws in link and content exchange widgets such as BlogRush have been repeatedly plagued with flaws that either render them utterly useless, or provide biased services in favor of the elite. Here I have identified many of the factors that taint these services despite envisioned theoretical success.

They Link To Irrelevant Content

Your content is frequently mixed with other content that is totally irrelevant. Simply by using a keyword such as “fat” to describe something in your article brings an onslaught of unrelated posts in your widget. Even worse still is the problem of links on your widget that go to non-existent blogs or freshly created blank blogs with only the hello world post displayed in an attempt by users to cheat the referral system.

The problem with an article is that once it’s been read, all the value has been extracted by the reader. They’re not going to bookmark it just to read the same thing again tomorrow. Lists however are completely different in that they supply the user with a massive amount of value. If you were to write a post with useful links on all aspects that needed to be focused on to start a blog, the list would contain so much informational value to them that they would bookmark it.

To understand this, you have to pretend that Google bot is your retarded 3 year old cousin. Yep, I’m labeling the almighty Google that I regard so high as a retarded child. When Googlebot scans your pages for indexing he sees your site as a giant tree. Whenever he finds content in multiple categories he’s confused beyond belief and doesn’t know what to index it as.

To fix this I’ve compiled a few quick and easy steps to backtrack out of the rut you’ve landed yourself into. …..Click here to read more

Does age reflect Intelligence? Are we still living by the social stereotype that the young are dim-witted and dull? In any case, what do we see when we look at how old someone is? With age we see experience, and with experience we see authority. Therefore one is forced to conclude that people are more convinced by older writers due to their credibility on the subject.

However, what if a particularly young writer were to write blog posts that reflected knowledge on the subject. Would you ignore his age and simply see that he is a credible and knowledgeable person on the subject? Or would you look at him in disgust and convince yourself that he isn’t smart enough to tell you about that topic?
