Blogging Basics

Posted in Adgitize, Advertising, Blog Advertising, Blogging 1 Comment »

Do you still remember how easy and less pressure the blogging was when you just started? You only blog the thing you are passionate about, you only had one blog to managed, you don’t care about traffic and all and you are not into monetizing your blog yet. Well, when I started blogging the idea of earning online is what’s on my head but I still blogged about my passion because i wasn’t earning yet until my blog turned three months old. I experienced almost quitting on blogging, that first couple of weeks writing for nothing kind of thing. Anyway, I made it through that milestones and I am still here blogging.

I have created so many blogs and was given up some of it then buy a new one. What a crazy addict blogger I am. Seems like blogging always taking its tool to lots of blogger especially those who managed multiple blogs like myself. Before, Entrecard was the most popular tool used by blogger to drive traffic. Then came so many advertising network where you can advertise your blog for minimal amount. It was just last year when one of the advertising network called CMF ads closed some of the bloggers switched to Adgitize. Then before the year ended, adgitize decided to close its system for good, some bloggers felt sad about it including myself again.

Apparently, entrecard is the only option right now that offer free advertising to bloggers. There is project wonderful and other advertising agency or PPC but you have to pay for the services and maybe earn a little. I am also back to entrecard but the only difference are I can’t finishes 300 click dropping entrecard in one account.

I’m back to basic now, drop entrecard every once in a while and update my blog(s) too. I cannot update all my blog in one day, and some of them don’t have traffic and visitors.

How many blogs do you manage? What did you do to drive traffic to your blogs?

New Domains and Blogs

If I remember correctly, 6 months ago I made a promise to myself not to add domains to my collections. Well, I broke that promise again. It’s just too hard to keep that promise when you’re an addict. This is a different addiction so for sure won’t affect financially and physically (a little maybe) waaaa.

Most of my domains are registered under Godaddy, some at Name Cheap while my sisters domains are at Big Rock and JustDomains registrar. Anyway, i added couple of niche blog and domain to my existing blog domains and then I bought another contest and giveaway niche blog from Techie She. Am thinking of getting active again at online contest and giveaways when I decided to buy this blog and domain. I would like to thank Techie She though for selling this blog with a PR1 as bonus. When I bought the blog, Google made a page rank update and so generous to give this blog a PR1. Thank you so much She.

Moreover, just this week I got two more domains, and one of them was courtesy of Nita. The godaddy was having a promo and was accepting credit card only as payment. So, I asked Nita to buy the domain for me and I’ll pay her but fortunately, the godaddy was having a $1 domain sale and she got the domain for a buck. She gave it to me as free. Last night I made an impulsive decision of changing one of my existing blog domain to a new one and give the old one to someone I know. I already bought the domains and thanks to godaddy promo code got discount from that domain.

If you plan to buy new domains, renew or buy hosting at Godaddy.com. Check out this Godaddy Promo Code website first to get discount.

Domain Change, Importing, and Platform

Posted in Blogging, Domain 2 Comments »

I started blogging using a free hosting platform with sub domain. Back that time, I really had no idea what the domain stands for, what blogging all about and which platform is better for your website. Eventually, I learned how domain name works on advertisers and why it is better than sub domain. I also tried the wordpress platform and begun loving it. To make the story short I learned, I created multiple blogs and I’m amazing :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: .

Since I started blogging with the goal to earned online, I can’t stand updating my other blog for nothing. So, I made a decision to buy a new domain next week to replace the existing baby domain. I also do not want my domain to be in the blogger because it’s difficult for me to check my cpanel and above all I don’t want use the credit card of my better half. So, I begun the transfer yesterday. I spent most of my afternoon, deleting post entry and importing blog post and comments. I finished this tiring job at 2:00 o clock in the morning. I chose to remain my baby blog in a free hosting because of the pictures. But I want all my blog that has paid post will be in self hosted server.

Therefore:

WordPress is the best platform according to the majority. So you have full control of your website, you should have it hosted by reliable weh hosting.
