The buzz words on the internet at the moment are Blogging and Pinging and
according to the internet guru’s we should all be looking at these as the must
have system to be attracting visitors to our site and consequentially making
revenue.
At first glance you may be forgiven for thinking that this is a new comedic
duo just bursting on the entertainment scene, but seriously what is Blogging and
Pinging and how will it help us to become a viable internet site owner and if
indeed an internet marketer, make a serious income online.
Put in its most simplistic terms a Blog is an online discussion web site that
allows both you the web owner and your visitors to voice their opinion on a
specific subject. When starting a Blog I would suggest that you aim at providing
information and commenting on a targeted niche subject rather than a generalised
matter. For instance rather than run a Blog on dogs why not specialise on Welsh
Corgi’s or some other breed. This will be of interest to Welsh Corgi owners and
will result in your blog acquiring a steady flow of targeted and interested
visitors.
Pinging, is in effect a method of informing the Blog community at large that
your Blog site is in existence and with most Blog software a device that alerts
this Blog community when a new post or comment has been made.
If you are interested in starting a Blog there are many companies that will
provide you with a fairly easy solution to get started and one of the major
players is Blogger.com, also if you are interested in putting the Blog software
on your own server and running it independently I have found Wordpress to be
excellent software and this can be downloaded at wordpress.org.
So happy Blogging and Pinging to you all.
