5 Quick & Dirty Steps to Eliminate Blogger’s Block
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Blogging on April 12, 2010
“What Should I write about? Who would be interested in what I know?” I hear this a lot when entrepreneurs start being active on their blogs. They are all experts in their field of interest but somehow they assume everyone else is too.
I used to think that but soon I found out that many people, for instance, failed to understand the importance of SEO for their websites. For those who still don’t know – SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.
So bloggers, here’s my technique – feel free to share it and apply it in your work:
1. Pick a subject, any subject you feel you know best or can easily research it; preferably some kind of problem lots of people are confronted with. Describe in 2-4 sentences what the problem is.
2. Identify your audience. In other words – who are writing this for? Who are the people affected by this problem?
3. How can the problem be fixed? List all tools, techniques, methods, links, people, resources, etc. that can help solve the problem. Be succinct with your list but give enough information that everyone can understand.
4. Create the list in a bullet form (people love lists) with links to the each resource.
5. Write a brief conclusion with the benefits of solving the problem “your way” and leave it open for comments and/or questions.
What do you think? Try it out and let me know if this method works for you.

How to Make $250 Online per Day
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Make Money Online on January 27, 2010
Here’s a short but comprehensive list of things you can do to generate at least $250 per day:
- Place Google AdSense ads on your website/blog: https://www.google.com/adsense
- Head over to Yahoo Publisher Network and add their ads to your site: https://publisher.yahoo.com/portal/login.php
- Do the same thing by accessing Commission Junction: http://www.cj.com/
- …as well as Link Share: http://www.linkshare.com/
- …and also Azzogle Ads: http://www.azoogleads.com/corp/index.php
- But mostly ClickBank for tons of affiliate links and ads: http://www.clickbank.com/index.html
- Don’t forget to check this one out too: http://www.hydranetwork.com/
- You can also sell links directly on your site with http://www.text-link-ads.com/ or Text Link Brokers at http://www.textlinkbrokers.com/
- If you love to write about stuff and want to get paid for it go here: http://www.reviewme.com/
All that is left is promote the heck out of your website/blog to build traffic and thus vital click enablers on your ads. Now, don’t go nuts and include every one of these links or you might run the danger of transforming your site into a 24/7 rotating carousel of ads and links and I’m not sure that’s such a great thing; it wouldn’t be for your readers. Good luck!

SEO – What is it Good For? Absolutely Everything!
Posted by Claudiu Geanta in Search Engine Optimization on January 19, 2010
According to Jupiter Research almost 40% of people searching the web actually purchase something. In all cases, they focus on page 1 and sometimes page 2. The percentage of info seekers decreases tremendously starting with page 3 of any search engine.
The dirty little secret you probably don’t know is that 72% of all people who search Google click on the organic search results, ignoring the paid ads section. I do. Don’t you?
Based on these findings, logic will tell you that your website/blog should be listed on the top 1-2 pages of every search engine page. To accomplish this you’ll need a solid and powerful SEO behind your site.
So does SEO matter? Heck Yes!
Here are some things you need to understand before you hire a SEO company or even contemplate on doing yourself SEO for your site:
1. SEO is an ongoing activity and it stops when your company doesn’t need a web presence anymore.
This is not a “set it” and forget it” task. It’s a long time strategy that needs constant attention and fine tunning as you go.
2. SEO results are not immediate nor permanent.
Whoever is telling you otherwise you should seriously dispute their knwoeldge of the web.
3. If you want to do solid SEO (mainly based on fresh content), think of your site as a weekly or monthly newsletter.
Update it as much as you can and you got yourself a dynamic and fresh site every time.
4. Tag everything (images, links, video, etc.) and link to relevant sites.
Link internally between your pages and ask others to link to your site.
5. Pure SEO is not about TRAFFIC – it’s about QUALIFIED TRAFFIC.
What good does it do that your site list on position 2 on the first page for a “company that sells oranges” when you in fact are “selling space ships”?
