The Benefits of Guest Blog Postings

The author and the blog site owner will benefit from guest blog posting as - it unites bloggers who are also interested in connecting to other bloggers, online journalists and other web content creators in any niche through publishing their high-quality articles on their blog sites if approved.

A guest post is an article written by a certain author professionally and is intended to be published at a blogger's site. Here the guest poster will contact the blog owner to discuss his or her intentions. A guest poster is a professional writer not connected to the blog owner. He writes high-quality articles of any topic for a certain blog site.

And from guest blog posting, the writer who offers his knowledge and know-how will enjoy the expansion of his reach to the blogger's audience and the blog owner will also enjoy some great high-quality articles completely for free with free links going to the site of the guest poster.

Below is an offer I received on June 12, 2014 from a certain guest poster. I withheld her name, I quote:

Hi,

My name is Ms. X and I had gone through your blog and found it very informative. I would like to share my experience and knowledge with your audience by publishing Guest Post on your blog. You can suggest me any topic on which you want me to write article on for publishing it as a Guest Post on your website. 

I can also suggest you great topics for your blog. 

Looking forward to your reply. 

Best Regards

Ms. X

On the same day, I replied her letter with simple instructions, I quote:

Hi Ms. X,

I accept your offer. If you can write articles about people/celebrities between 400 and 500 words length with photos I would appreciate them. First write three articles for the said subjects and then send them off to ppruel@yahoo.com as attachments. In case your articles were already published on your blog site, website or on other publications - change the "Title" and rewrite the "Introduction".

Your articles should bear the following: your author's name, your blog site or website name with a valid URL link, if published on other publication include the link and your articles should have at least 3 to 5 tags (write them on the bottom of each article).

Your submitted articles will be published at Wikinut Awesome Publishing Site For Articles

And be sure that you are the original author for those articles. Do not forget to include the link going to your own site (it will help increase your site views and traffic). Once the articles are published - they will travel automatically across the Internet through the social networks (Facebook and Twitter), G+, Stumbleupon, Digg, Delicious, Pinterest and other bookmarking sites I am connected with.

This time I do not accept explicit materials or matured contents. I will also appreciate if you will link my blog to your site.

That's all for now. Thank you for the interest. I will wait those submissions from you.

Best regards,

Paul Pruel

(PS: If everything works well - I will display some of your best articles to my own domain website at Wikinut Awesome Blog.)

The next day June 13, 2014, her reply of two words arrived, I quote: "OK. Thanks."

From June 14 until now - there was no additional communications from her that my yahoo mail box has recorded. And yet, still, until now I am still waiting for her submissions.

Nowadays, guest blog posting is trending its popularity and is considered as an effective marketing and advertising approach applied by professional online writers and bloggers. While it is helping to promote a writer's career and profession, it is also helping to promote a blog site to boost its traffic and views as well as helping the site to increase its page rank on search engines. And there are more advantages to mention from this method.

However, there are also disadvantages from guest blog posting - one is, it pushes the blog owner to become lazy. He would stop from thinking what to update for his own blog site as he is depending from those guest blog postings from authors who happened to use his blog to promote their stuff and expertise. The blog owner would no longer be inspired to do his research on good topics thinking that there are people outside who are willing to feed high-quality articles for his blog site. And the worst of all worst is when the blog owner becomes idle - his tendency to learn for new discoveries to enhancing his blogging expertise will decrease. And eventually he would no longer be interested to write his own high-quality articles for his own blog site.

For The Love of Sharing Google Plus Has New Updates For Its Users

For The Love of Sharing Google Plus Has New Updates For Its Users +Karen Mae +Kmart +Hainute Kate +Kiki kiki +Garf Kohler +mary kiss +Hainute kienne D +Vinay Kumar +Hasan Kalayci.

Users of Google plus can now market their articles to their G+ circle of friends directly from their blog sites or websites dashboards or control panels where they create their awesome, inspiring and interesting columns or articles. However, this method will work well if they are running their own blog sites or websites and their Google+ accounts have already upgraded to Google+ Followers and is visible on their blog sites or websites landing page.

How to get the upgrade gadget?

If you were on your blog site at blogger.com - go to your control panel and look for "Layout". When you opened layout - you see add gadgets and open it - and then look for the gadget "Google+ Followers" click it and save it. And then view your blog - you will see that the gadget already appeared on your blog. But this upgrade will work if you're already a Google+ registered member.

On this article, I will show you the method on how to share the article directly to my Google+ followers following instructions from Google+ team. This is my first attempt to maximize the use of G+. This method is good if your intention is to share your stuff to people you are directly connected with on Google plus. This means that the more people connected to you on Google+, the bigger the possibility that your G+ friends would read the column and visit your blog site because at the time the article or column is published, it would also appear on their Google+ account landing pages. This is legal and in accordance with Google+ policy.

Below is the mechanic how this method will work:

1. First determine what title to use for your column and write it down on the title section.
2. Write again the title of your column as the opening sentence of your article summary or description.
3. At the end of the title add "+". Example: "The Rumored Doomsday was Over and It is Worth Remembering+".
4. Adding "+" and the first letter of your G+ friend's name at the end of your article title, the names of all your Google+ followers will appear - click the name of your first choice and it will be added. Add again the "+" sign to add another follower.
5. Every time you added the "+" sign, the names of your G+ circle of friends will appear and it is up to you if you will add them all.
6. If your intention is to share your article to all your Google+ friends you can do so. But remember this application will work only if you're already a registered G+ member and the Google+ Followers gadget is activated on your blog.
7. Now assuming that you already done adding your G+ friends - proceed now writing the article summary or description down to the last paragraph of your article body. If there are photos or video that you like to add on your column - add them too including some related articles with their permalinks.
8. And then determine your post settings: labels or tags of your article or column, schedule, permalink, location and other option found on the right side of the editorial section.
9. And before sending your column to publish mode - you should have to preview it first - to check the proper layout, settings, spelling and grammar errors.
10. After the preview and you are sure that everything has done - go back now to the original draft and hit publish. View your blog now. At the time your article is published on your blog site - it is also the time that your article will appear on your G+ friends account landing pages.

This method of marketing or sharing of your article to your G+ friends was done directly from your editorial section on your blog site's dashboard in accordance with the policy of Google+. I just hope that the above information will be useful to others who have their own blog sites at blogger.com or people running their own websites. Again thank you for your time.

Eight Easy Ways to Market Articles Across The Internet

Tags are as Important as Catchy Title

I have no rights to question any policy that a publishing site is regulated on its site. But as one of its content creators - I have that option to ask question. If you're an online writer and you are writing for a publishing site - would you care to publish your column, article or hub without keywords or tags? Tags are important for every article. They help attract traffic and views to any article page. 



Search engines are there to help the million surfers for any terms that they are searching on the Internet. Tags assist in Google search algorithms and other search engines and surfers - with out them your pages will be hard to find. Tags are as important as catchy title. It surprised me to see and to learn that hubpages.com has now phased out tags on every hub a hubber would submit for publication. 

HubPages explains, "Tags and used to be very important on HubPages, but due to abuse by spammers, we developed an automated system that develops tags for Hubs automatically which will ultimately save you time and leave Hubbers less dumbfounded when trying to determine which tags are or are not appropriate."

I was about to submit a hub at HubPages but I can't. I noticed it that the tag section on their hub editor is missing. I already done all the polishing make-ups of my hub but without tags yet, so I just kept it as unpublished status. I even asked from other hubbers if they also experienced what I found. Cuttler said, "I have just published two hubs without the tags. I'll give it a day and investigate how the traffic is going to be." Another hubber has replied my question. "Tags are being phased out, they are only for internal HubPages use anyway," replied Uninvited Writer.

Now I am planning to delete the hub from HubPages and bring it out from the site and offer it to other publishing sites I am writing for. I am not used to publish item on the Internet without tags. This is Internet. Many writers from around the world are competing one another and tags help them to shine in the competition. And to publish articles, columns or hubs online without tags seem to me ineffective.

On November 18, 2012, I published a column at ExpertsColumn entitled: How Important are Keywords and Tags for Our Columns Online Writing? I had differentiated competitive keywords from non-competitive keywords down to keyword phrases and tags. So to know that HubPages has phased out tags - it amused me so much. That's all for now guys. Thank you for your time.

For those who are not yet writing for ExpertsColumn - this site is open for all your awesome and original columns. Join ExpertsColumn Community – write, publish and earn.

Aside ExpertsColumn, I am also writing for CashMyStudio, Allvoices, Bukisa, Squidoo, Triond, HubPages and Wikinut. I also maintain couple of blog sites. I have no specific areas where my writing will focus on. I write any subject that interests me under the merciless sun. My favorite saying: "Dream big and don't stop without giving it a chance to come true." 

Sources of Income at ExpertsColumn

There are two main sources of income at ExpertsColumn. One is earnings from views and earnings from referrals. If you're writing now with the site and you have so many friends and followers across the Internet - views from them would flush in to every column you published on this site. And every thousand views that your column generates, you will get paid up to 1.50$. And for those who are not yet writing for this site - you may book mark this column for your future use.

Pruelpo ExpertsColumn Profile Page

Because earning from views is the first source of your income at ExpertsColumn - if you can -make friend with other columnists, visit their column pages and if possible leave some comments on their published columns. In return they will visit your pages too. Because the more views your columns received, the bigger the income you will get. And it is already proven by those columnists who have been here quite for some years. 

However, you must adhere also the site policy and advise before you publish your column on their site. Your reader is the first reason why you should write a column. You should write it what your heart dictates. And follow other suggestions.

Now if you referred many friends to write for this site - you will earn 10% of the revenue earned by them. So, the more people you referred to write for ExpertsColumn, the bigger the revenue you will earn from them. But you should also help them to expose their published columns across the Internet through social networks, book marking sites and sharing them on your blog sites.

In addition, the site is also giving gift rewards or monetary rewards to its columnists through contests. But till now said contests are not yet available. Just wait  and see - this is the thirdsource of your income if materialized.

How to Market Hundreds of Articles In a Single Worksheet

At Triond I found another interesting way how to market hundreds of my published articles across the net. Through a worksheet where all the information of the articles I have published at Triond are put together as an article page. This column is an example as it holds hundreds of articles to market across the internet. If people have spotted it and attracted to crawl down the page - traffic and views would be flushing in. The mechanic is simple, the main key is my Triond profile page. My profile page has a section that caters all the indexed tags or labels I had used for my articles called tag cloud.

Pruelpo Triond Profile Page

Out of three hundred ninety one (391) articles I have published on that site excluding this one - there are about twenty tags officially indexed and found on my Triond profile page under the tag cloud section. These twenty tags representing the 391 articles published on the different publishing sites powered by Triond.

The twenty labels could possibly be visited and read by surfers and other crawlers - if attracted to crawl down on them. And what is good here is that - these tags or labels are considered as search-able keywords by search engines, other crawlers and spiders across the net.

Out of the 391 published articles - 288 of them are articles tagged under my user name pruelpo. The other 103 content articles I published are labelled under Business, Education, Facebook, Get more, Google, How to, Life, Online writing, Paid to write, People, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Society, Triond, Web marketing, What are, What is, Writing and Writing tips.

Surfers who would likely or accidentally visit my Triond profile page and would crawl down the 20 tags found under my tag cloud section - would also visit and read other articles written by other Trionders. The reason is that - hundreds of Triond writers have also used the same tags or labels I have used for the 103 articles I published on Triond. So, if I marketed this article through social networks, bookmarking sites and to my blog sites - chances of traffic and views would also flush in to other Triond profile pages.

The said three hundred ninety one content articles are officially published on twenty publishing sites powered by Triond namely: AlThingForCars, AuthoSpot, BeyondJane, Bizcovering, Bookstove, Cinemaroll, Computersight, Gomestic, HealthMad, Newsflavor, Musicouch, Notecook, PurpleSlinky, Quazen, Relijournal, Scienceray, Socyberty, Trifter, Webupon and Writinghood.

This way of advertising of my published articles outside Triond is legal and no spamming. And aworksheet is enough to market my published articles across the Internet. And to use my user name as one of the tags or labels for my articles is effective - if some one will search my username pruelpo on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing - he or she will be redirected to those published articles and other stuff I published on the different publishing sites across the net. Not only that my username can help too to detect who is plagiarizing my works. And whoever visit and crawl down the tag cloud found on my Triond profile page - he will be redirected to all published articles written by me and other hundred Triond writers who have also used the same tags I used.
