			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve signed up to <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ibG9ncnVzaC5jb20vcjE4NDE4Nzc3" target=\"_blank\">BlogRush</a> service today to try it out. One of the most questions bloggers have is &#8220;How to get traffic?&#8221;. Well, there are a lot of ways&#8230; <span id="more-415"></span></p>
<p>One of the ways is the new service called <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ibG9ncnVzaC5jb20vcjE4NDE4Nzc3">BlogRush</a> and you should check out the video on the front page to get to know it. But in short it displays your feed titles in other peoples blogs which are relevant. And of course you display other blog post titles on your blog.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say you have 500 page views of your blog daily. That way you show about 500 displays of the BlogRush widget. Meaning, your posts will be shown on 500 different sites which could equal quite a few subscribers to your blog. The good part is, these will be relevant subscribers because of the keywords and the category you&#8217;ll choose for your blog.</p>
<p>It also features a very good credit system to show your feeds all across the network. It also promises, that your traffic will grow exponentially. BUT if you really want to use the full power of this, you will need to <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ibG9ncnVzaC5jb20vcjE4NDE4Nzc3">join today (for free)</a>. Since the service is new, it&#8217;s easier to get more traffic and subscribers to your blog.</p>
<p>I will be posting some updates to show you how it works for me. If you&#8217;d also like to see what the feed widget looks like, you&#8217;ll need to scroll down a bit.</p>

Amazing tip!<br />
But as i was reading the rules and started writing it, i came with a nice idea too. Using the link http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.example.com in your logotype or name of your blog (mostly at the top left side) that goes to the main page or using this link in your Home button, can make your Alexa ranking grow too.</p>
<p>This is theory but i´ll be trying it out now and you should too <img src='http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong> UPDATE:</strong>  the code can be looking really messy now. And also the link doesn&#8217;t look very clean too right? Here is the code to fix that.</p>
<blockquote><p> &lt;a href=&#8221;http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?www.example.com&#8221; onmouseout=&#8221;window.status=&#8221;; return true &#8221; onmouseover=&#8221;window.status=&#8217;http://www.example.com&#8217;; return true&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; class=&#8221;afflink&#8221;&gt;www.example.com&lt;/a&gt;</p></blockquote>
<p>This will display your link in the bottom bar of your browser. Or hide the link if you&#8217;re using firefox.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone interested? Yeah? Are you sure? 100% sure? Ok then&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a really nice tip:</p>
<p>You remember the pinging services right? The famous blog ping list (if anyone doesn&#8217;t have it, just say it i woll post it)?</p>
<p>Well here is a really nice tool that can help you get more traffic and is similar to the ping list (since each time you posted you had to use it)</p>
<p>Here is the url <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5vbmxpZXMubmV0L211bHRpc3VibWl0Lw==" target=\"_blank\">http://www.onlies.net/multisubmit/</a></p>
<p>Now what do you need to do&#8230; Got to this page and do this &#8220;Drag this MultiSubmit link to your bookmarks toolbar and enjoy.&#8221; like it says on the page, drag that url, which is a cript for bookmarking&#8230; Now what will you bookmark?</p>
<p>Each time you make a new post, go to that url/permalink, and use the bookmarked hiperlink/button you created earlier. You now have about 20 sites to submit your new post to. Before you do this, you must register to all of those services (another tips is that you use a generic name etc. so it doesnt look like your bookmarking yourself), Then just fill out the fields and submit your new url&#8230; <strong>Do it daily!</strong> Since you have to update your blog daily, at least.</p>
<p>Let me know how it works for you <img src='http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve  just got a new email from the <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5jaHJpc2cuY29t" target=\"_blank\">chrisg.com</a> feed. He just got his 1000s comment which is a really nice achievement. I&#8217;ve been reading his blog for quite some time now and i love his posts.</p>
<p>Now comments are a great way for getting free, new, and unique content to your site. This equals more traffic. Now Chris is writing really good articles (he has about 1600 readers just over Feedburner), so he gets a lot of comments daily. Now in my case, i don&#8217;t get much of them&#8230; And this is a problem that a lot of bloggers have.</p>
<p>Now when i was commenting on his blog i got a pretty good idea. Why now give a present or a reward for very 500 or 1000 posts? And give the person who&#8217;s made that a little gift.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d go with a t-shirt gift with the logo and url to my blog. And give it out to every 100th post. This would have lot&#8217;s of effects, the winner will be glad to have a nice new shirt, i&#8217;ll be glad that he&#8217;ll wear it and people will see it, see my logo and see the url to my blog&#8230; Making long term brand awareness for a price of a t-shirt.</p>
<p>Sweet! <img src='http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>I&#8217;ve already got couple of emails from bloggers, that would like to have this one in a more bright look, bright as in brighter background. And also some prefer other color variations. I&#8217;ll be working on these in the future and add them to my blog.</p>
<p>I will be adding them to my <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5kYXJqYW5wYW5pYy5jb20vd2ViLWRlc2lnbi9kb3dubG9hZC1mcmVlLXdvcmRwcmVzcy10ZW1wbGF0ZXMv">free wordpress themes</a> post.</p>
<p>Feel free to share them over the internet and change it to suit you, just give props to the artist <img src='http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Also if you find any bugs let me know and i&#8217;ll fix them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have read my previous article about <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5kYXJqYW5wYW5pYy5jb20vYmxvZ2dpbmcvY2hvb3NpbmctYS1yaWdodC1uaWNoZS10b3BpYy8=">choosing a right niche/topic for blogging</a> you may have already chosen a nice topic to write on. And now, you really want to start blogging right? But dunno where and how to start? Well this article will help you.</p>
<p>Now there are two good ways of you starting your blog experience. Each of them has some advantages and disadvantages so you will have to make a choice which one you prefer or need. The two choices are, getting your blog for free, or try to invest some money in it. Now i will try to explain all the things you need to know for both choices.</p>
<h2>Getting your blog for free</h2>
<p>Now i suggest the free blog services for every really new blogger. As in REALLY new i mean that you don&#8217;t have any knowledge of HTML as in source code etc. Or if you don&#8217;t know how to install a simple blog software using MySQL etc. (more about this below) Anyway, these blogs are very easy to use and setup, so you can start to blog in couple of minutes.</p>
<p>A big disadvantage is, that if you blog on some sensitive topics, like politics and stuff like that, your blog will be removed and you will lose it for good. Now imagine that you had the blog for about a year or two and have made daily posts to it, it got really popular and than they suspend and remove it. All your hard work would be gone in some seconds.</p>
<p>Another smaller disadvantages are, that you also don&#8217;t have that much control over the content such as images, videos, podcasts etc. And also there can be plug-ins problem which is one of the most important parts of successful bloggers.</p>
<p>Some of the most popular sites, that offer free blog sites are <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ibG9nZ2VyLmNvbS9zdGFydA==" target=\"_blank\">Blogger.com</a> and <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5jb20v">Wordpress.com</a>. All you need to do is to just signup and you&#8217;re done. There is also a lot of help on blogging there.</p>
<h2>Getting your own blog</h2>
<p>Now getting your own blog can be a bit more work to do, but, you will have full control over it. Now, there are some expenses like, buying a domain and a hosting. A domain costs $7.99 per year at <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5wb3dlcnBpcGUuY29tLw==" target=\"_blank\">powerpipe.com</a>. Hosting can be a bit tough though, if you have lot&#8217;s of daily traffic, you will need a good hosting, but for starters, there are some offers like the $10.00 per year at <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5heWtzb2x1dGlvbnMuY29tL2FmZmlsaWF0ZXMvaWRldmFmZmlsaWF0ZS5waHA/aWQ9MTE0" target=\"_blank\">ayksolutions.com</a>. So it really isn&#8217;t that much.</p>
<p>Now paying for these two things is the disadvantage i told about before. Now i really suggest, that if you go for this choice, you use the famous software <a href="http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvZG93bmxvYWQv" target=\"_blank\">Wordpress</a>. It is easy to install since there are step by step guides and help files. But the most important thing is, it&#8217;s very powerful and it has everything that you need for having a successful and secure blog. The plug-ins for it are amazing and they can do lot&#8217;s of stuff that the free blogs can&#8217;t do.</p>
<p>So in conclusion, it&#8217;s your choice what to use, just take a though on what you need also. Now you can start blogging and getting it to know. Also, bookmark my blog if you liked the post <img src='http://www.darjanpanic.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of bloggers write news on varios topics on a daily basis. Writing news is a bit different from writing ordinary news or a diary. There are some rules about this, and one of them is called the 5+1 formula. For a perfect news mesagge, you need to answer on five questions which are: <b>who?</b>, <b>what?</b>, <b>where?</b>, <b>when?</b> and <b>why?</b></p>
<p>This way, you will form a perfectly designed message. These questions are also called five double W because of the same letter they start with.?Now the +1 is there for the basic appearance of the news article and it&#8217;s intention is to answer on the question <b>how?</b> Now the news is as it should be written.</p>
<p>This is very useful and important and will help you make better news articles for your readers. And not just that, you wil totaly satisfy their news appetite, which will help that they bookmark your blog and come again next time when they are hungry for more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll be talking about the basic steps of starting a blog. These will be the first things you will need to do, before starting a blog. The most important one is: <strong>&#8220;Why do you need/want a blog, and what will you be writing about?&#8221;</strong> Ask yourself that question and maybe make a plan and write it down on your paper. What interests you, what would interest your readers and why? What have you to share with the world?</p>
<p>Now some questions won&#8217;t be needed in some situations. If you want to make money out of blogging, you will need to find a good niche to write on (i&#8217;ll be talking about this a lot more in the future since this is a BIG topic). Maybe you&#8217;re a fan on photography and will make pa photo blog. Or you&#8217;re better at talking freely than writing stuff down, then a blog with podcasting is for you. You can even entertain people with funny news videos you make. The choice is all yours.</p>
<p>But if you really want to get into blogging, i suggest you choose a niche or topic, that really interests you, like cats, dogs, cars, beer, food, sports or maybe you have a hobby of some kind. Also a blog about parenting could be a really good choice. Again, use something you like since if you want to make it, you&#8217;ll really need to write stuff daily, maybe even couple of times per day. daily updated blogs have more returning visitors etc.</p>
<p>If you have a business, write about that and get some exposure for it. There are almost limitless topics, some are more popular, other&#8217;s aren&#8217;t, but the bottom line is, you will find people that have same or similar interest and those will be looking for your blog and read it daily. I personally go to some blogs couple of times per day and am looking if they got updated with some new articles or news.</p>
<p>Now what are the reasons you shouldn&#8217;t write on some topic only for money or because it&#8217;s popular? If that topic is already popular, you will really need to write good or even better stuff then your competition. Here&#8217;s a short example. Blogs about celebrities are popular, really popular! If you want to write about celebrities you will need:</p>
<ul>
<li>A lot of knowledge about all of the celebrities, there habits, what they do,&#8230;</li>
<li>A way to get better pictures and news than other blogs (and maybe even newspapers)</li>
<li>You will need to get these news and pictures BEFORE THEM</li>
<li>It will take a lot of time until you rank good for celebrity keyword terms on search engines</li>
<li>Your content and opinions should be more interesting then others</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>now this shouldn&#8217;t let you down, <strong>NO WAY</strong>! If you want to make it you&#8217;ll make it. It will just take some more time. And that&#8217;s why i said write what you love, since it will be far more easier and you&#8217;ll have more fun too! Enjoy each post you write, take your time have a beer or some cold ice tea while writing, listen to music, <strong>GET INSPIRED</strong>! It is also possible, that you have some related topics, look at my blog for instance.</p>
<p>I also suggest, if you have English as a second language or maybe even third, that you write in your mother language! <strong>It&#8217;s better to be number 1 in town, than the last one in the city</strong>!</p>
<p>Also a good idea would be to make a blog with couple of your friends, where you could also comment each other. More brains know more!</p>
