On Reddit you can submit your post in the form of a link or a text (similar to an article) post. After you submit your post, other members can vote up or down on your submission. The voting determines the rank of your post as well as its position on the Reddit website’s pages and front page.

Sign-up and start promoting:

If you are new to Reddit, use the sign-up form and create a user account. Once your account is active, you can submit a link and know the response from Reddit users through votes. At the same you will also be able to browse the entries and vote for them.

Each entry previously known as a Reddit is now called as subreddits and The home page of Reddit displays front page content from selected Reddit  The front page of Reddit is where you should find your content because this is where you get visibility and a great number of hits to your website. Your content needs to be selected as a featured content in the recommended page.

How to bring your content to the front page of Reddit:

As I said earlier, the front page is where your submission/links gets more exposure so create a headline that is new, catchy and something which creates a curiosity and results in a hit. Reddit automatically suggests a title but you may add one with rich keywords.

When users click your headline to read your content, they will able to vote positive or negative on your content and add comments on your submission page. Only a positive feedback will help you move to the front page. To get positive votes, you need to share a good quality content in the most suitable category.

Gathering friends on Reddit:

Friends on Reddit also contribute to generating traffic to your website. Adding users to your friends list is very easy. On a user profile, beside the username an option +friends is available. If you like the profile and would like to connect press the option and the user will be added to your friends list. Identify like-minded people and become friends with them.

Tell them to visit your post, vote and give their valuable comments. It also requires you to be an active Reddit user, viewing other posts, voting, adding comments and promoting the link of your friends. As a Reddit user you can score points (points are called karma) when you contribute to the Reddit network community.

10 Important Things to do Before Publishing a BLOG POST!!

You already know about these tags. Don’t you?

Anyway I am going to explain them now, with NoFollow tag in your external links the average pagerank of your site will not decrease and links with _blank tag opens in a new tab, it is for a better user experience.

How to add these tags?

If you want to add these tags manually than here is the example as if how to add them.

If you don’t want to add them manually and if you are using WordPress than install the plugin “NoFollow Link” to add the nofollow tag and to add the _blanktag there is already an option in WordPress to do so.

You already add images to the previous posts on your BLOG but the things is do you link back to the source of the image and does the image is allowed to be used on your BLOG?

What would happen if you would do this?

The owner of the image could file a case on your BLOG or would do damage to your site’s ranking in Google SERPs easily.

so, How to find images that can be reproduced commercially?

With the help of Creative Commons you can easily find out whether an image is allowed to be use on your site or not using Google, Flickr, Pixabay, etc.

With keyword in your alt tag you will be albe to rank for images on Google and other major search engines image search and with the title tag you can send a message to the visitor of what the image is about or any text you want your visitors to see.

You can create sub sections in your posts with the heading in H2 tag and sub heading in H3 tag.

Adding this tags makes the post more appealing and hence, readers would be tend to read it.

And also if you would able to add your keyword in these tags than your post will be able to rank better than the others.

Ask any influential blogger in any niche whether they have call to action at the end of their post, I can bet everyone will say yes.

So, What is it?

It is basically asking the reader thoughts on the posts, asking your readers questions at the end of post is what call to action is.

With call to action you can easily motivate your readers to share their views on your posts via commenting.

Linking a post to another post is not only good for SEO purposes but it also reduces the bounce rate of a blog.

But there is a precaution that should be taken before linking and that is the post should be relevant to the one you are writing. If not than there is no need of linking as still doing this will led to the bad impact on your current readers.

Why?

Because if you want to become  popular in your niche, you must have to create relations with the popular blog through linking to their one of the post and giving them free traffic.

Title is the first thing that a visitor would see whether on search engine or on your BLOG, so you have to create attention grabbing titles by which even Albert Einstein would get attracted.

So, How to create a catchy and SEO optimized Title.

Checking the post for any type of mistake is what proofreading is.

Proofreading is the most important thing that everyone must do but still a majority of bloggers are not interested in proofreading, what they are interested in is to publish the post right away but that’s not good through reader’s perspective.

Don’t ever publish the post without proofreading.

Don’t publish the post yet, first delete it’s revisions to save web space and increase speed of the BLOG (it really helps if you have a lot of post’s revisions).

To delete the post’s revisions you can install the WordPress plugin “WP-Optimize”. This plugin not only delete the post’s revisions but also can delete auto drafts, spam comments, unapproved comments and can optimized database tables too.

Now, you can hit the publish button freely but no more than one time as doing this Google would think you are spamming.

6 best ways to create a better blog by shoutmeloud.com

6 best ways to create a better blog by shoutmeloud.com

As an experienced blogger, I often come across this question -

“What Does It Need to Become a Better Blogger’.

So, I thought about writing this one for all those who have just started and have the same in mind…

… It is not for you if you have already earned a credibility as a blogger for years.

Important Reminders for Amateur Bloggers

I admit that the following tips may sound usual to many of you.

However, how many of us actually take care of them when we follow our blogging schedule.

You may consider this as a reminder of key points required to maintain a credible blog.

Write Briefly

The attention span of people on web is too short.

With so much flashing around and ads hovering in front of eyes, a few of them take out real time to read long and lengthy pieces of content.

The fact is that many of us hardly like to spend time scrolling…

… and this is the reason your whole story should be put across in no more than 600 words.

You may work on shorter ones with 400 or 300 words if you have supporting videos or photos.

Longer than 600 is acceptable if it is really an interesting story that you are sure people will stick to.

In this post, Neil Patel from QuickSprout, explained how content length affects rankings and conversions.

Use Catchy Titles

Use humorous titles or ask a question.

Your aim should be to entice people to click on your title to read.

Try using the type of headlines you love exploring.

This will take you much closer to the psyche of the reader in your niche.

For example:

Boring Title: How to promote blog posts?
Catchy Title: How to make money using social media!
>>Show Me!<<

Share it On Social Media

If you want more people to see your post, you have to share it on different social media platforms.

Use Google+, Twitter, Facebook to make your posts viral.

Look out for some other social media platforms being used by your competitors.

Check out the above post for 4 amazing places to share your blog posts…

…and attract eager new readers to your blog.

Build Relationships

It is really important to build relationships with your audience.

They invest time to read your posts and you should respect this fact.

Respond to the comments on your blog, thank readers who have shared your posts and comment on their posts as well.

This will help in building relationships and enhancing your network.

Building relationships lead to trust factor, and once people start trusting you, you get regular following on web.

Bow to the Tech

An expert designer and developer can make the ‘look and feel’ of your blog -

not only attractive but worth sharing too.

Spending some money on the design and beauty of your blog is not a bad idea if you are not good at it…

…and it’s also the sixth way of my blogging motivation.

Update it Regularly

Your blog needs to be updated at least once a week.

The more often you update the better it is.

Create a schedule to post information on week days.

Weekend traffic flow should be expected to be lower than week days.

I run an A/B test on my another blog to check what’s the actually benefit of updating the blog regularly.

Surprisingly apart from traffic, ranking and readership, I attracted lots of advertisers and I banked dollars with ease. See how!

Conclusion!

Following these easy yet important tips will help you build repute on the web and soon you will see your site in good names on search engines.

Which way you think is most important to become a better and successful blogger?

WORDPRESS BLOG PLATFORM by techscite

I think you can read my previous article TOP 10 BLOGGING PLATFORMS IN INTERNET by techscite . So you know about top blogging platforms.In this article i explain briefly about WORDPRESS

WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL.Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. WordPress was used by more than 22.0% of the top 10 million websites as of August 2013. WordPress is the most popular blogging system in use on the Web, at more than 60 million websites.

It was first released on May 27, 2003, by its founders, Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, as a fork of b2/cafelog. The license under which WordPress software is released is the GPLv2 (or later) from the Free Software Foundation.

 

                                                  WordPress has two options: 

OPTION 1 : A freemium hosted service that provides .wordpress.com domains — 

                      E.g. jyotheeswar.wordpress.com  (but you can still pay to use your own domain) 

                              and includes limited customization. 

OPTION 2: The completey free .org version which allows for you to host WordPress on your 

                    own servers with much more control, edit themes to your hearts content, hack code 

                    and add as many WordPress plugins as you wish.

It is, in simple terms, the daddy of blogging. The platform powers almost 19 percent of the Web and has been downloaded more than 45 million times.

One of the platform’s core strengths is its community of creatives, who have produced thousands of customizations and tweaks allowing WordPress users to add sophisticated and powerful plug-ins (features) to their blogs, or dress it up in a new layout or design.

Pros: Customization, customization, customization!

Cons: Vast array of options can be complicated for less-experienced users — tread carefully.

Verdict: Still the best option out there. WordPress is especially useful for companies or those looking to develop (or have someone else develop) a sophisticated website.
