Can blog promotion in blogging communities be harmful for a blog?

Blogging communities can be a great way to drive traffic to a blog, but is it really safe for your blog? Have you ever thought about it? You might be thinking that what's wrong in promoting your blog through blogging communities, but believe me, blog promotion through blogging communities is not safe at all. Let me explain why:

1. Decreased reputation in search engines

Search engines are the best source to drive organic and genuine traffic to any blog or website. Joining any blogging community and getting a backlink through your profile page is OK, but promoting your links in the community will cause your blog getting penalized by Google Penguin, which will down-rank your search results and you will loose organic traffic.

2. Decrease in the number of unique visitors

If you are promoting your blog in blogging communities, then you will get traffic from those people who are members of those communities. You may get frequent visits of same visitors but if we talk about unique visitors, then you may not get unique visitors because the biggest source to get unique visitors is search engines and after getting penalized, you will loose unique visitors. You may be happy that your blog is getting a good alexa rank after sharing your links among other bloggers through blogging communities but only good alexa rank doesn't matter for advertisers. They look for traffic source also and they prefer those blogs who have a good traffic referred from search engines.

3. Risk of getting copied

If your content is online, then obviously you are not safe from copy-cats. But promoting your blog in blogging communities increases the risk of getting copied. Let me clear this point, have you ever seen any "Pro Blogger" promoting his/her links in any blogging community? Don't be confused with the word Pro Blogger, to know actually about the term Pro Blogger, I'd recommend you to read >> THIS ARTICLE.
Now, the answer is - "NO".
This is because pro bloggers know that running a blogging community site is just a way to make some money through advertisements. They trust in organic traffic they get from search engines and that's why they are ranked on the top of the search results.
Now let me come to the point. Actually, new bloggers are getting increased day by day due to a false thought that blogging is the fastest way to make money online. They are not skilled enough to write quality articles so they copy other bloggers' posts. They join blogging communities to get some traffic as well as to get some content for their blogs. They start copying each other's blog posts and in return, they get nothing and their blogs are down-ranked due to copied content.

4. Waste of time

Yes, if you think that lots of people read your blog posts through your links in blogging communities, then you are wrong. You may spend your valuable time in promoting your posts in blogging communities, but that is total time waste. In blogging communities, other people are also there for blog promotion only, they don't bother to read your articles because they don't need your content. They just login there, promote some links and simply sign out.
So instead of wasting your time, you must focus on creating quality content for your site and have patience. Quality content can bring organic search traffic for your site, but blogging communities can never.
I've seen some bloggers showing that they get quality traffic from bloging communities, but I think their concept about quality traffic is not clear (I don't blame them because they are blogging just by the influence of other bloggers who are earning nice income via blogging). Guys, asking each other to visit your links and dropping comments don't bring quality traffic. You may get good traffic by doing this but you don't get unique visitors, as I said earlier, and if you don't have search traffic, then obviously you will see that these communities are the top source of traffic for your blog.

Something from my personal side:

Some of my friends say that some posts I write are bitter. I also agree with them, but you know, "truth is always bitter". I don't want to hurt anyone, but I don't want to keep anyone in dark also. I say that a blogger must not be an artificial one, he/she must be what he/she is and must speak boldly, must share honest opinions.
I also joined some blogging communities, but I'm not active there. And if you have read this article, you can now understand why. The only reason of my presence there is "A BACKLINK", that's it. I have a very busy schedule and that's why I spend my free time in framing new quality articles instead of wasting my time in in playing comment-comment game in blogging communities, haha.

Killer tips to improve alexa rank of your blog

Now a days, Alexa is being popular day by day to measure the popularity and traffic of a website. Every blogger is looking for some tips and tricks to improve alexa rank of his/her blog. Some of them are hiring experts to improve their blog's alexa ranking. I have posted a brief intro of Alexa in my blog few days ago. In this post, I'll tell you some killer ways to improve your blog's alexa rank within 3 months. Believe me, these tricks work perfectly but few of these are against Pro Blogger fashion, but if you are struggling to improve your alexa rankings, then you may follow these tips.

1. Publish A Review of Alexa In Your Blog

I've noticed that after publishing any post related to alexa with a dofollow backlink makes the alexa rank of the blog better. It sounds silly but it is personally tested by me and really works. So every blogger must publish at least one post related to Alexa in his/her blog.

2. Create An Alexa Toolbar of Your Blog and Distribute It to Your Freinds

If you've read my previous post on Alexa, then you might be aware of this fact that Alexa measures the traffic of a site through the data collected by Alexa Toolbar. If your blog visitors are using alexa toolbar, then your Alexa rankings will be improved. So, create an account on Alexa and create a toolbar for your blog and tell your friends to install it in their computers.

3. Publish Interviews of Other Bloggers

This method is against Pro Blogger fashion, that's why I don't use it. But you know, this is the trick which works faster than any other trick to improve alexa rankings. The reason behind it, again, Alexa toolbar + Referral traffic. Any new blogger wants to see his name being featured in other blogs and feels proud in it. So, you may choose some bloggers who are of such type. Ask them for a text based interview and publish their interviews in your blog. What you get in return? You get a part of their own traffic. Those bloggers and most of their visitors use Alexa toolbar and their visit to your blog improves your alexa rank. When you publish their interviews in your blog, they share your blog's link with their friends and visitors. In this way, you get more unique visitors and your blog gets some publicity also. (You should try to interview new bloggers with good number of visitors. They don't reject you because they feel proud when someone asks them for an interview. But don't try to ask for interviews to Pro Bloggers, because they are totally neutral towards giving interviews for any other blogger. They are business minded and they accept interview proposals of reputed and high quality media sites only).

4. Other Methods

The above three tips work perfectly. There are still some ways to improve your Alexa rank and you can read them by clicking here.

How to make money online without having a blog or website

The craze to make money online is going viral among teenagers. The number of bloggers, especially in India has risen dramatically and the reason behind it is that they all want to make money online with their blogs. Some of them are really doing good and writing good articles. But there are so many teenagers and internet users who don't know about blogging and don't have the required skills to earn through a blog. So, I thought I should write an article for those who don't have any knowledge of blogging but still, they want to earn money online. So in this article, I'm going to explain some ways to earn money online without having a blog or website. Let's start.

1. Use the Power of Social Media for Affiliate Marketing

This is the most popular method to make money online without a blog or website. You can join different communities in social media and can promote your products. For example, sign up for an affiliate program and share your affiliate link in social media with an impressive text. Make people feel that the product you are promoting is important for them and they must give it a try. Don't use the language of a "Beggar", just use a humble and impressive language like a professional to promote your affiliate links. For example, suppose I want to promote "Bluehost Web Hosting Service", then I'll promote my affiliate link in the following way:

"Are you a blogger and using paid web hosting services to host your blog but not satisfied with the performance of your hosting provider?
Introducing BlueHost, the leading web hosting provider. You must give it a try and check the performance of their services. It offers the best services at a cheap cost with 24x7 support. I'm sure you're gonna like it, as it deserves. To sign up for an account, use the following link and supercharge your blog with the best hosting services.
http://www.bluehost.com/track/ashutoshkushwaha/CODE34
Sign up now and get a flat 40% discount on your purchase. So grab this amazing offer and save your bucks."

So, for each sale you generate, you get a commission and earn a nice amount. You can write product reviews on other blogs and include your affiliate links to generate more sales.

2. Make Money With YouTube

If you don't have a blog or website, then you can earn money online with youtube and Google AdSense. Create a youtube account and upload at least 6 videos that are created by you or picked from the internet. (don't upload copyright material) and share your videos on social media and forums. After getting some views, you will be eligible for the AdSense program. Just enable AdSense for youtube and monetize your videos and make money online.

3. Sell Products on eBay

Purchase some products in bulk and sell them on eBay. If you purchase products in bulk, you get some discount on your purchase and you can sell the purchased products at the original price on eBay. In this way, you will earn some profit. You can start a bidding deal also to get more profit on your sold products.

4. Sell Domain Names

Guess some good domain names and purchase them at a discount price using coupon codes. Now sell those domain names at regular prices by promoting your domains in social media and forums.

5. Earn By Selling Your Services on Fiverr

Create a free account on Fiverr and sell your services to the people. You may offer logo designing, facebook likes, youtube views or whatever you want. If someone is interested in your offer, they will contact you and pay you for your services. If you are not skilled in anything, then you may hire other people to do your tasks and share the earned amount with them.

6. Do Freelancing

You can make money online by doing freelancing also. To know more about freelancing, read "Make Money Online As A Freelancer".

7. Make Money By Designing T-Shirts

You can create an account on http://skreened.com/ and can design and upload a T-Shirt. If any visitor likes your design and makes an order, Skreened will print your designed T-Shirt and will give you your commission.

8. Other Methods

The Internet is full of opportunities and you can use it to generate a good income. The only thing you require is creativity and some common sense. So, sit for a while, do some researches and think about your skills. After analyzing your skills, turn them into a medium to make money. I recommend you to read "Best Ways To Make Money Online" to get more ideas about online money-making.

Top Useless Sites To Waste Your Time On

The title seems to be a freaky and stupid one, right? Everyday, we surf internet to gain some knowledge, download good stuff and build networks in social media etc. But there are some sites which are designed to waste your time, lol. If you are always free or getting more than bored, then you can waste your time on these sites. I am presenting the top useless sites on which you can waste your time.

1. Find The Invisible Cow

This is a stupid game in which you have to find an invisible cow by following the loudness of an irritating "Yaw Yaw" type sound. Just move your mouse around the screen and you will hear that sound getting louder or softer.

2. The Useless Web

On this site, you will see a page which will have a button "PLEASE". Just click that button and you will be taken to different silly sites. An awesome site to waste your time.

3. Hacker Typer

This site is also a useless site but it may be proved very useful if you want to impress your friends or your girlfriend. Just open this site and start typing rubbish things, just keep pressing random keys just like you are typing codes and on the screen, you will see some codes are being typed automatically with your krystrokes. Anyone who is looking at you will be surprised that you are a great coder with super-fast typing speed.

4. Boohbah Zone

This site is a strange site where you will do some random funny things like make some fatty cartoons dance in indian classical tone, make a dog jump and touch a ball, make some men and ladies jump high etc.

5. Staggering Beauty

On this website, you will get a finger shaped doodle which moves if you move your mouse. On moving your mouse vigorously, a flashy light pattern appears in the background and a sound plays. Keep repeating this thing and keep wasting your time.

6. Bees Bees Bees

In this site, you will see Oprah Winfrey opening a screen and so many bees come out of the screen and make the people crazy.

7. ShadyUrl

This is a funny url changer to change your urls and make them suspicious and frightening. As an example, http://www.pctricksguru.com becomes http://www.5z8.info/looksjustlikeyourbank_i5r1ft_this_persons_account_has_been_hacked

8. Don't Even Reply

This website is titled "E-mails from an Asshole", and you will find the title perfect for the site if you read the email conversations on the site.

9. Shut Up and Take My Money

This website is a shopping site offering the things you never need but really want. Full of stupid and crazy items to purchase.

10. Ducks are the Best

This site changes your mouse pointer into a duck and on moving your mouse pointer here and there, it leaves a trail behind it and fills the path of the moving mouse pointer with ducks.

11. Sticky Hands Toy

On this website, you will get a hand toy which hangs with your mouse pointer and on moving the toy, it sticks with the walls.

A bonus for my readers about a strange website:

Rajnikanth's Website, which runs without internet...!!
This website is a flash website developed by desimartini.com which publishes movie reviews, trailers and other entertainment related things. Well, in the jokes of Rajnikanth, we find him extraordinary and his website is also an extraordinary one which can't run if you are connected with internet. Don't believe, just try yourself. Click Here to visit Rajnikanth's site.
