It may be an occupational hazard that occurs when fingers tap keyboards. A reader will misunderstand the point of your blog post. There may even be issue taken with a very obscure part of the article. Instead of debate taking place over the main theme of the column, some obscure section may find itself the topic of various interpretations. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1511.html Author: Patsi Krakoff, Psy. D. and Denise Wakeman 1. Participate in the blogosphere: Read and comment on other blogs in your field. This is a prime way to build readership of your blog. It is also a way of getting fresh content for both your blog and for your book. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1453.html By Sharon HousleyI have heard many a blogger say that blogging fills a need. While blogging provides a humanizing effect on news and journaling, it also opens a window into personal lives. The details shared in blogs were once only available to a select group of friends, and while blogging has become common place, it has risks that should not be ignored. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1444.html Today s Woman Expert Author- Wayne Hurlbert Blog out might not be the proper blogspeak term, but everyone who has blogged for at least three months understands the phenomenon. Blog out is that feeling that blogging is just not fun any longer. It s the sense that writing blog posts has become a chore and a duty. Blogging even takes on the feel of drudgery and pain. The blog owner feels burned out on blogging and all of its related activities. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1387.html From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia TrackBack is a mechanism for communication between blogs: if a blogger writes a new entry commenting on, or referring to, an entry found at another blog, and both blogging tools support the TrackBack protocol, then the commenting blogger can notify the other blog with a "TrackBack ping"; the receiving blog will typically display summaries of, and links to, all the commenting entries below the original entry. This allows for conversations spanning several blogs that readers can easily follow. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1376.html By John-Paul In part one of this article, we looked at how dangerous copyright infringement and content theft on the web can be. I also shared three “proactive” steps you can take to help prevent those little buggers from violating your copyright. But now that you know how damaging blog scraping and content theft can be to your search engine ranking and reputation, you’re probably asking — “what do I do if my blog content is stolen?” http://www.todays-woman.net/article1347.html By John-Paul With more and more blog scrapers being used to create splogs (definition), it’s important to take steps to protect original content on your business blog. When your hard work and original articles appear elsewhere, it can do serious damage to you, your reputation, and your search engine ranking. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1346.html By Jonathan Bailey Rose DesRochers recently posted a comment to my article on Keyword Splogging asking if it was happening to her. After a brief email exchange some quick investigating, I came to the conclusion that, most likely, it was exactly what her splogger was doing. From all appearances, it looks as if he is taking RSS feeds from all across the Web, using software to find articles with the keywords he needs and posting them to his splogs. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1209.html Today s Woman Expert Author- Wayne Hurlbert Blogs are a powerful tool for initiating and developing interpersonal relationships. Most discussions of business blogs revolve around building an ongoing discussion with current and potential customers and clients. Often forgotten are the relationships created with other bloggers. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1201.html Today s Woman Expert Author- Wayne Hurlbert Blogs can change your life. In fact, if you post to your blog for any prolonged period of time, the blog is almost certain to be the catalyst for some life altering experiences. It s the nature of the blog that s the cause of this success. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1176.html Today s Woman Expert Author- Wayne Hurlbert Relationship marketing and relationship building with blogs has long been considered a major reason for starting and maintaining a business blog. Not all business people, and indeed not all bloggers, agree on the value of blogs for creating and developing those important customer relationships. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1134.html Expert Author: Tinu Abayomi-Paul It s been all over the SEO-student rumor mill for weeks now, and has finally made it into my Inbox - in droves.The new get-traffic-quick scheme for search engine results has arrived - flooding ping notification sites with update announcements, even though your blog hasn t been updated. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1131.html Today s Woman Expert Author- Wayne Hurlbert How many people are linking to my blog? That s the question asked by most bloggers, whether to measure the blog’s popularity, or to vaguely place its ranking in the various search engines. Most bloggers have heard somewhere that having more incoming links improves rankings in Google. Very few blog owners move beyond that point in their SEO efforts. While the total number of inbound links is definitely important in any search engine optimization (SEO) effort, it’s not the end of the story. In fact, it’s barely even the beginning of the overall importance of links to SEO. There is much more to blog SEO than simply counting links. http://www.todays-woman.net/article1050.html By Rose DesRochers Read more of Rose DesRochers s articles You’ve finally created a blog and you’ve made your first post.

In fact, most people probably could care less. They just want information.
