			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is Blogging: The New Form of Journalism</p>
<p>Ever wonder why most all of the teens today are addicted to the internet? Well it has everything a young exploring mind needs. From browsing the net for document researches, shopping, cooking, gaming, chat, and a whole bunch of stuff going inside a website’s offer.</p>
<p>Yep, all of these including one secluded part of a teen’s life which is their journal. Don’t believe me? Then try hooking up on the internet now and see how much there is that is available today.</p>
<p>Aside from being a window for the readers to see what’s on the author’s mind, a blog lets him elaborate on facts or scribble out whatever idea that pops out his head. A blog is a simplified term for “web blog”-a new generation medium for writing articles, essays, statements and the like.</p>
<p>It’s usually composed of texts or sometimes pictures and multimedia topics. If you’re tired of jotting down every single detail of your life’s worth on paper, why not try the new fad of journalism which is blogging. Blogging literally means sharing a comment of life through the internet.</p>
<p>It is an up-to-date source. A sequence of events. A timeless exhibit of creativity and style. An outlet for one’s self.</p>
<p>The popularity of blog comes in different areas. Anyone can write anything that comes out of his head. Whether a walk on a sunny day or a dip into California ’s wild waters, it serves as a diary and is readily updated. What’s good about blogging is that it is not bounded by editing and is cheap.</p>
<p>The commercial velocity of a blog depends on a writer’s instinct to create a worthy article. Either formative or informative, rational or irrational, for as long as the readers can visualize what the author has posted your blog’s a hit.</p>
<p>Technical specialties and skills, not necessary. Publishing freedom, an advantage. All that is needed is for you to have a witty mind, a desire to share ideas and part of your story, and a bit of knowledge to toggle into the internet. Grammatical errors are welcome. No editors and publishing companies to please. Journalism without rules or guidelines to follow and what’s best is that readers could post a comment or be inspired to write one too.</p>
<p>Blogging wouldn’t be difficult if you have the right recipes. Not just a simple-text article, a blog may be enhanced or converted into other types like an audio blog or a video blog. Nowadays, blogs are more sophisticated and advanced. Element of a blog starts from a good and captivating headline down to the author’s personal profile. Included herewith are the blog post, permalink (combined term for “permanent link”), and the reader’s comments.</p>
<p>A friend of mine is a blogger. She would entertain herself by posting blogs on her web page. She told me that blogging is an advantage for her to speak up to the world of the things that’s keeping her shut. And I quote, “I am an internet junkie. I am not a big fan of journalism or any kind of writing.</p>
<p>But it all changed when the blogging fever entered internet society. I appreciated it more when I felt everything that’s written are real and not just a compulsory decoy to deliver information. Right then, I became a part of a bigger picture.”</p>
<p>Trapped in a world of unwanted opinions, blogging is a benefit. But everything has its own consequences. Blogs are much harder to manage than that of the broadcast media. In politically sensitive issues, blogs can be considered as a political misfit. Results are triggered through suppression of bloggers and punishments were made. Another grave case is the issue of defamation and liability.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, blogging is still out there. So if you’re the type who has the snap for writing, give blogging a shot. You never know how much it would contribute to the society and to your pockets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking for traffic for your site or blog, one great way to <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2007/07/75-ways-to-increase-your-sites-traffic/">increase site traffic</a> is to build a link wheel. Link wheels are designed to create new backlinks to your site&#8217;s main page, which give your site a <strong>higher search engine ranking and more visitors</strong>. This in turn will <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2010/04/10-simple-steps-to-increase-your-blogs-traffic/">increase blog traffic</a>.</p>
<p>Link wheels are yet another SEO method, but instead of being underhanded or risky for penalization from Google, it is fair and it actually works. Implementing the link wheel involves writing articles and using other social networking and web 2.0 sites to link to each other as well as back to your main page (the page whose rankings you are looking to improve). Using the link wheel actually provides valuable content based on your topic, and <strong>helps to generate and build site traffic</strong>.</p>
<p>This is an example of how the link wheel works:</p>
<p><a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wheel.png"><img src="http://superbloggingtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wheel.png" alt="" width="600" height="325" /></a></p>
<p>As you can see, you create several different accounts on various social blogging sites and write an article on each. Link one to the other, and on each one, link back to your own actual site. This is PROVEN to work to <strong>increase your rankings in the search engines and to build site traffic</strong>.</p>
<p>You can build multiple link wheels to link to your blog&#8217;s homepage and different pages of your blog, each wheel working on improving your rankings for various keywords. And after creating your link wheels you can drive traffic to those as well, which will <strong>create a snowball effect</strong> back to your main site.</p>

<p>I previously published a popular article titled <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/03/33-must-have-firefox-extensions/">33 Must-Have Firefox Extensions</a>. Since that generated such a positive response and helped many people discover useful tools, I figured that a continuation of said article would be a good idea and prove to be very helpful for you&#8230; Not to mention that plenty of new Firefox add-ons and extensions have been released since the last article.</p>
<p>Firefox is fast and secure, and the browser of choice of 52% of Super Blogging&#8217;s readers, as well as myself. Since so many of you are Firefox users, I feel that it&#8217;s important to share useful tips and must-have extensions with you. If you&#8217;re not using Firefox, you can download it <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/">here</a>.</p>
<p>So here are 10 more wonderful Firefox add-ons: </p>
<p><strong>1. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/201">DownThemAll!</a>:</strong> If you&#8217;re a download junkie, then this is the add-on for you. DownThemAll! is a highly customizable download manager. It lets you pause, resume, and accelerate all of your web downloads by command. It also offers an incredibly helpful feature that allows you to download all of the images or links on a page, which can save you from a potentially very tedious job.</p>
<p><strong>2. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/1865">Adblock Plus</a>:</strong> Getting rid of all those pesty ads &#8212; is this really possible?! Of course it is. Say hello to Adblock Plus, the Firefox add-on that recodes pages you visit, omitting all of the annoying advertisements. Browse faster and much more happily after the installation of this wonderful extension.</p>
<p><strong>3. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/2324">Session Manager</a>:</strong> What&#8217;s the difference between bookmarking a page and saving it with Session Manager? With the latter, any tab can be loaded exactly as it was when you saved it, with all of your preferences remembered and any forms still filled out. Save yourself plenty of valuable time and a lot of trouble with this add-on.</p>
<p><strong>4. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/9825">FastestFox</a>:</strong> This is one of those plugins that can almost do it all. FastestFox allows you to save videos to your hard drive, even if there isn&#8217;t a download link. It also allows you to highlight any text on a page and FastestFox will offer a Wikipedia definition and links to various search engines with a query of your selection. All Wikipedia articles are preloaded into a left-column list, and if you choose the search engine, you&#8217;ll never have to continually click &#8220;next page&#8221; &#8212; FastestFox autoloads the results so you can scroll forever. It&#8217;s seamless and terribly handy. Whether you&#8217;re doing research or merely browsing, this add-on makes your life simple.</p>
<p><strong>5. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/134">Copy Plain Text</a>: </strong>It&#8217;s happened to all of us&#8230; We&#8217;ve tried to copy and paste text from the internet, and the font/size/bold/italics/underline comes with it. If you&#8217;re interested in just the text itself and not copying the formatting, this plugin is a huge help. Whether you&#8217;re quoting source materials or sharing something with friends, Copy Plain Text keeps it clean, plain and simple.</p>
<p><strong>6. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/1419">IE Tab</a>:</strong> Some websites are stubborn and remain coded only for Internet Explorer, especially when it concerns sites such as Microsoft and its products. Switching browers would be such a hassle, but that&#8217;s where this add-on helps. IE Tab creates a new tab in Firefox that simulates the Internet Explorer browser.</p>
<p><strong>7. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8004">ChromaTabs Plus</a>:</strong> If you&#8217;re interesting in adding a little more color and life to your everyday browsing, then this little plugin can make a big difference. Instead of the usual gray, it gives each browser tab its own color. The color is assigned automatically depending on the color of the site&#8217;s favicon, but tabs can also be customized by you and given site-specific colors.</p>
<p><strong>8. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10900">Personas Plus</a>:</strong> Here&#8217;s another add-on to spice up the look of your favorite browser. After installation, you can choose from over 100,000 browser themes. Selecting a new theme is quick and easy, and provides a refreshing new look and personalization to your online experience.</p>
<p><strong>9. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/383">AutoCopy</a>:</strong> For anyone who has to copy and paste any amount of text on a regular basis, this add-on will suit you well. It copys text as soon as you highlight it, without having to right click and select &#8220;copy&#8221; or doing a Ctrl+C keystroke. It also corrects long, wrap-broken URLs automatically. Three cheers for making a daily task easier!</p>
<p><strong>10. <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122">Tab Mix Plus</a>:</strong> This add-on is incredible for anyone who loves being organized or can be slightly OCD at times, such as myself. It controls which pages open in a new tab, new window, or same window. It also has cool features such as italicizing the text on tabs you have yet to view, and has a feature to undo closed tabs. There are a lot more helpful features and details, but those are the basics. End of story, it&#8217;s worth the download.</p>

It contains 33 more great ones. If you know of an add-on that has changed your life, please feel free to share it in the comments section or an email &#8212; I&#8217;d love to include it in the next continuation of this series and share it with my readers, as well as download it myself! Thank you and happy browsing!</p>

<p>I was asked a question by <a href="http://www.dotcomprofits.co.cc/">Andi S</a> on an article I recently published about <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2010/04/10-simple-steps-to-increase-your-blogs-traffic/">how to increase traffic</a>. Andi said:</p>
<blockquote><p>If I am a newbie my question is “Should I make controversy?”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Controversy is definitely a great way to increase site traffic, and I believe this is true with the seasoned blogger, but especially true for a beginner. However, anyone looking to start some controversy has to take into consideration what their goal is, and then make sure their outcome will match that.</p>
<p>So, my response to Andi was simple: </p>
<blockquote><p>It depends on how you view it. If you attack others and turn them against you, then no — that is something no one should do, newbies or otherwise. However, as a beginner, starting controversy is a great idea. Make people think or question something they might not have. It’ll always make them remember you and spread your name or brand.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The thing beginners really need to do to up their blog&#8217;s traffic and readership is to catch the public&#8217;s eye and make them remember your name. You can&#8217;t do this by writing about and rehashing the same old things everyone else writes about. You have to do something different. And what is a better way to do that than with controversy?</p>
<p>However, there are different forms of controversy. You might want to think twice before you write about something that could really anger your viewers and cause them to not want to visit your site ever again &#8212; after all, that&#8217;s not the goal. So don&#8217;t be TOO controversial if you&#8217;re looking for a massive audience. Don&#8217;t insult people or attack personal beliefs. Instead, question the norm. Make people think about something. Dig deep and find out some facts or information that could be underhanded and make it aware to the public.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t push people away with your controversy, but make them want to return. Controversy can be a good thing, and can be one of the best <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2010/04/10-simple-steps-to-increase-your-blogs-traffic/">ways to increase traffic</a>. This applies to all bloggers, amateurs and veterans alike.</p>

<p>I have written about why you <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2010/03/7-reasons-why-you-cant-make-money-blogging/">can&#8217;t make money blogging</a>, but if that is still your goal, then <strong>increasing blog traffic is key</strong> and one of the main things you will have to focus on. There are hundreds of little, nearly insignificant things you can do to up your blog&#8217;s traffic one visitor at a time. However, this list covers 10 simple yet broad steps to increase blog traffic. Implement even just a couple of these points and you will surely see the results. </p>
<h3>1. Get involved in social media.</h3>
<p>No one can deny that one huge aspect of maintaining a blog is being social and building relationships with other bloggers. That&#8217;s how social media has helped to mold the internet. Create a Twitter and Facebook and invite your readers to add you so that you are able to easily network with them. Also participate in sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, and others. Not only will this aid in your traffic growth, but it will also help to build long-term results with repeat and loyal visitors.  See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2009/03/why-you-should-use-twitter/">using Twitter</a>, <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/02/stumbleupon-is-the-favorite-social-media-site/">using StumbleUpon</a>, <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2007/11/use-forums-gain-traffic-make-money/">using blogging forums</a>.</p>
<h3>2. Work on your blog&#8217;s SEO.</h3>
<p>Visitors coming from search engines may not turn out to be repeat visitors, but they are the ones that are most easily monetized when it comes to implementing Adsense and other types of advertising. To do this, you&#8217;ll need to gain high spots in Google and other search engines. To make this possible, you should rework some of the coding in your blog to improve its SEO. Rework HTML title tags, and when you write a post, make sure to include the keyword you&#8217;re targeting at least a couple of times. Then use link clusters within your blog &#8212; this means to edit a dozen or so of your other posts and link to the page you want to promote with its keyword. Doing all this doesn&#8217;t take much effort and really pays off in the long run. See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2007/10/10-tips-to-writing-a-successful-post/">successful blog posting</a>.</p>
<h3>3. Get noticed by other bloggers in your niche.</h3>
<p>If other bloggers in your niche notice and respect you, then they are sure to point you out to their own readers at one point or another. Draw their attention by linking to their posts within yours. This is a win-win situation: you provide your readers with valuable information, the other blogger gains a link and some traffic, and in return you are likely to grab their attention. Usually, the other blogger would be more than happy to link back to you in return and send some of their visitors your way. Another great way to keep your brand in sight is to leave valuable comments on the blogs of others. See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/04/8-ways-to-add-value-with-link-roundup-posts/">using link round-up posts</a>.</p>
<h3>4. Try your hand at guest posting.</h3>
<p>One of the best things you can do for yourself and your blog is to write a really incredible, informative post that really packs a punch &#8212; and then don&#8217;t post it. Instead, offer it to a prominent blog in your niche. This will help build a relationship between yourself and this blogger, as well as instantly expose you to all of their readers. And this is another win-win: They get great content that will bring in traffic, and you get exposure and promotion for your name and brand. Often times, this could work out more in your favor than it would if you had kept the post for your own blog. See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/08/think-guest-blogging-is-a-waste-of-time-think-again/">guest posting is valuable</a>.</p>
<h3>5. Pay attention to and treat your visitors well.</h3>
<p>Your visitors and loyal readers are what keep your blog alive, and you should be indebted to them. Take some time out of your day to answer their comments and emails. Show them that you truly care and that you&#8217;re not in this solely for your own benefit. This one doesn&#8217;t take much time to do, but it makes a world of difference. See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/01/10-ways-to-be-a-successful-long-term-blogger/">successful long-term blogging</a>.</p>
<h3>6. Improve your blog&#8217;s content.</h3>
<p>This is one point that shouldn&#8217;t need to be said, but many bloggers don&#8217;t fully realize its importance. Your content needs to catch a visitor&#8217;s eye and draw them in. It needs to be clean, yet friendly. It needs to offer information or something of value &#8212; essentially, solve a problem or provide entertainment. But another big one is the way your post itself is written. Are your grammar and spelling proper and correct? Does the post flow smoothly and is it easy to follow? Does your post&#8217;s title pop? Working on all of these little aspects could have a huge impact. See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/03/8-ways-to-write-a-high-quality-post/">writing a high quality blog post</a>, <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/08/the-newbies-guide-to-spectacular-post-titles/">spectacular post titles</a>, <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2008/06/the-benefits-of-writing-a-pillar-post/">writing a pillar post</a>.</p>
<h3>7. Give your blog a makeover.</h3>
<p>Even though content is king, as the ancient saying goes, people DO read a book by its cover. Your blog needs to always give a good first impression, and the best way you can do that is with its layout. Consider the color scheme, page arrangement, where advertisements are placed, and how your posts are viewed. Give it a little twist so that it&#8217;s different and draws a visitor&#8217;s attention. A blog that is pleasant to look at is that much more likely to have its chance in a reader&#8217;s personal spotlight. See: <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2007/09/5-quick-tips-to-tidying-up-your-blog/">blog organization</a>, <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com/2009/02/going-with-a-minimalistic-design/">minimalistic blog design</a>.</p>
<h3>8. Do something different that will make you stand out.</h3>
<p>Whether it be offering a new product or service, going all out with your blog&#8217;s design, or even criticizing a prominent blogger, there are plenty of things you can do to grab people&#8217;s attention. You want readers telling their friends about you, and you want other bloggers linking to you. This isn&#8217;t that hard of a task if you can pull it off just right. Sit down and brainstorm, and come up with something that will make out stand out from the vast sea of internet bloggers.

<h3>9. Stop focusing on yourself and start solving problems.</h3>
<p>People visit your blog for a few primary reasons: they want to be entertained, or they want to solve a problem. If you can do both at once, then you&#8217;re golden. But you must know that your blog will never last if you make it your main priority &#8212; put your readers first! It isn&#8217;t always easy, but they will appreciate it, and it will pay off for you in the long-run. Be informative, do something different, solve a problem. Give your visitors what they need.

<p>This is probably an article you&#8217;re not expecting to see on a site that is dedicated to instructing people on <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com">how to make money blogging</a>. However, it&#8217;s about time for all of us who are seeking this goal to take a step forward and get our facts straight. We have been living in this unrealistic mindset for quite some time. In the past it has been considered very possible to easily cash in online, but this is no longer completely true for many reasons. While some people have been able to make it big through blogging, the average Joe usually cannot. The internet is always rapidly advancing, and we cannot focus on the same thing forever. It is high time to move on to bigger and better things. </p>
<h3>So why can&#8217;t we make money blogging?</h3>
<p><strong>1. The internet is no longer a new idea.</strong> In the past, some people easily managed to cash in on the internet &#8212; sometimes, pretty greatly. However, now this isn&#8217;t a game being played by only savvy entrepreneurs. Everyone and their cousin knows about the internet, and everyone wants in on their chance to make money online. This whole business is growing to be pretty saturated, and it&#8217;s already in the past at this point.</p>
<p><strong>2. You need to entertain people or provide a solution to their problems.</strong> People use the internet for a couple of primary reasons, two of which are to have a good time and take a break from the world, or to figure something out or solve a problem. If your blog provides neither of those things, then there won&#8217;t be too much interest or value placed in it. And if it DOES provide those things, then great, you have a chance at getting visitors. But then there is still the issue of monetizing those visitors. You need something to offer, and you need to be able to market and monetize it. You can&#8217;t just set out one day to become an &#8220;online entrepreneur&#8221; &#8212; you need a business model.</p>
<p><strong>3. In that way, blogging is much like the real world.</strong> If you have a shop in the middle of a city, and your main goal is to make money and benefit yourself, how many customers do you think you would attract &#8212; even if thousands of them walked outside your store everyday? The answer: not many. You need to provide real value to your viewers or customers, or at least make them believe you are. You need to make them believe you are offering them something truly great, new, and different &#8212; and that is all in their benefit. You need to solve a problem or provide entertainment, and if you do that right, then chances are that most likely you will have happy and satisfied visitors. Once you&#8217;ve got that down, you can focus on monetizing them.</p>
<p><strong>4. But even so, how much profit could you really make?</strong> When you make money blogging, your profit usually caps out at a certain point. And generally, that peaking point isn&#8217;t ever as high as you would like it to be. You can only sell so many advertisements, after all &#8212; no matter how many viewers you are getting, there is a definite limit to how much you can make off of them with advertisements. That&#8217;s why it is so necessary to do or provide something different. Come up with something that will hold a lot of interest, and that won&#8217;t have any limits to how much you can earn through it. The more original the idea, the better.</p>
<h3>So what do we do about it?</h3>
<p><strong>5. Do something that will really make you stand out.</strong> Whether you&#8217;re offering a service or product that is totally new and inventive, use shock value, stir things up, or whatever &#8212; you&#8217;ve got to do something that will make people recognize you. Your site has millions of competitors, and what are you doing right now to ensure that you&#8217;re different from all of the rest? This isn&#8217;t always easy. Mostly everything has been done before. Sit down, muster up every ounce of creativity you have in you, and brainstorm.</p>
<p><strong>6. Provide something that is genuinely helpful to people.</strong> The internet is undoubtedly one of the biggest resources we have. People want answers, their problems solved, or something that is going to make their life easier. If your site cannot provide any of these things, it is usually going to turn out being rather pointless. As I said earlier, offer people something that they will want to thank you for. Or even if you can&#8217;t do that, at least give them something that they THINK they&#8217;re getting a great deal out of. Doing this, your site will be much more valuable and profitable.</p>
<p><strong>7. Try something else; come up with a new money making strategy.</strong> For most people, blogging just won&#8217;t cut it when it comes to making money. This is the time for the online world to mature and delve in new tactics. Try your hand in keyword marketing, product promotion, or other such things. There are plenty of other opportunities out there that take a lot less effort and could potentially offer a lot more profit.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.typealyzer.com/images/ISTJ.gif" width="290"> A person&#8217;s personality can be hugely determined through their style of writing and how they put themselves out there to the world. That is why I was so interested when I came across a site called <a href="http://www.typealyzer.com">Typealyzer</a>. Upon entering it you are greeted with the site&#8217;s name, a subline asking &#8220;What personality is that blog?&#8221; and a textbox where you can input a site&#8217;s URL. It is incredibly simple and just begging to explored further. So what did I do? I entered <a href="http://superbloggingtips.com">Super Blogging Tips</a> URL!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Upon receiving my results, I noticed they were based on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator">Myers-Briggs Type Indicator</a>, which has a total of sixteen different personality combinations, based on things like introversion/extroversion, sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling, perceiving, judging, etc. The results for this blog were <strong>ISTJ - The Duty Fulfillers</strong>. I felt that that was very appropriate as this blog has a very professional and business-like purpose. The description given for the ISTJ personality type is as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>The responsible and hardworking type. They are especially attuned to the details of life and are careful about getting the facts right. Conservative by nature they are often reluctant to take any risks whatsoever.</p>
<p>The Duty Fulfillers are happy to be let alone and to be able to work int heir own pace. They know what they have to do and how to do it.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Typealyzer also showed an analysis of brain activity during writing that applies to the blogger at hand. It shows whether a blogger is more idealistic or practical during writing, and if they are a feeler or a thinker.</p>
<p>All-in-all, I found this very intriguing, especially because I am interested in the personality and inner aspects of people. If it&#8217;s something you are interested in too, I suggest you try out <a href="http://www.typealyzer.com">Typealyzer</a>. It takes only a second for it to analyze the personality of your blog, but it offers an insight on who you are as a blogger. Typealyzer is also a step outside of business and offers a little bit of entertainment, and that&#8217;s something we all need in our busy schedules, so have fun with it!</p>
