Monday Link Love

Another Monday Link Love. This is getting an habit lool.

I got drunk yesterday (it was the annual festivity at my home town), so this is not a very good day to me…. lol

Week in Review

I decided to not make any plans. I was planning several things to be done last week but as usual i haven’t done them. Shame on me.

Last week posts that are worth reading on my blog are the 6th part of the Creating a forum series (i hope to finish them soon) and the Myth about duplicate content.

Creating a forum Part 6 – Monetizing the forum

This is probably one of the “creating a forum” series post that may interest you the most.

We are always seeking ways to monetize our sites, and perhaps the majority of us know how to monetize a blog, but when trying to do it in forums, they often stumble with some doubts and difficulties.

Making money with blogs is easier

One point you need to take in consideration is that blogs are easier to monetize. You will get some revenue after a few days of work, but with forums it is a completly different thing. The process is more demanding and will require more attention from you. The process can sometimes be frustrating to us, so be patient.

Duplicate content penalty

Duplicate content is always a subject that interests us, because we (webmasters) are afraid of it. We are afraid to get our content duplicated, we are afraid to get caught by google for duplicate content either by articles that we get from an article site of for having duplicate content on our own websites.

Copyscape

I have mentioned before an excellent tool to seek for duplicate content that is called Copyscape. I used it every time i write an article, or every time a change the article structure. It only gives me 10 results but that is more than enough.

Monday Link Love

Again for the second time in a row im giving the link love on Monday instead of Sunday. I can’t make a habit out of this lol

Week In Review

I started the past week by giving you a simple tip to make your posts look better. Followed by a post about wordpress themes. This time, it was about themes that we should runaway from. 7 themes were mentioned but some more were mentioned on the comments.

And finally, i ended the week by showing you how to create unique content in seconds. This post created some unexpected buzz on a social media site. More about that below.

Create Unique content in seconds

We all know that to succeed in getting traffic from search engines, and specially from google, unique content is the gold ticket for it.

So, webmasters in general, and bloggers in particular spend hours writing unique content  for their sites/blogs to get some traffic from search engines.

The process is long and tedious, and some simply don’t have the patience to do this. If there is money available, then hiring someone to write for you is an option. After all, it isn’t that expensive, and the results are good (if you hire a good writer).

Run away from these WordPress themes

We all know that poorly designed websites can make huge money, but we also know, that a good looking website can make the difference between failure and success. When a webmaster, or in our case, bloggers create a blog, one of the main parts of the process is to choose the right wordpress theme for it.  A google search quest starts and practically we all arrive at the same places with equal list of wordpress templates… While having a place that gathers a bunch of wordpress theme makes our life better, it will have a downside: it is most likely that the theme we choose is being used by several hundred other blogs. This gets worse if a particular theme is famous between our fellow niche bloggers.

A simple tip to make your posts look better

On my regular reading throughout the blogosphere i see many writing types and ways to organize posts.

I like to feel that a blogger has put some effort on the post he just published. This can be seen on the way he structures the post, on the way images are used, if they fit well on the content, or if they are able to show the message he wants to transmit to his fellow readers.

Monday Link Love

This was supposed to be launched yesterday, but as you may have read in the previous post, i had a bad weekend…. :(

The problems that i am having are slowly getting resolved. I have spent several hours trying to solve them. I have mentioned some of them yesterday. The template update has been completed, but the problem with internet explorer remains. It seems that some errors with w3 compliance may cause the browser not load correctly the page… This may come from any of the plugins that im using…. i have a suspect but i don’t want to stop using it… let’s see what i can do…

Really bad weekend

This was a really bad weekend… It was all going fine, when i arrived today from my parents house.

Connected to the internet, did my usual stuff and i soon found out that 3 things happened. Bad things!

Out of space!?

The first one i found was that my blog was all messed up, apparently because i ran out of hosting space!!! I immediately knew what was it, because it is the second time this happens to me in a week.
