  5. In the code that you {just} just affixed, search for each instance of YOUR_ACCOUNT and replace it along with your social media accounts/blog computer address/ url feed. If you have got confusion regarding any of them, let American state apprehend within the comments section.
  6. Press Save template and go to any single post page of yours.
  7. If the widget doesn’t appear, delete all the code you pasted (it starts and ends with an HTML comment to help you remove it later on) and try steps 4-6 till you find the right <data:post.body> tag.
I have adjusted the margins within the sharing buttons on dsgsharebox category to regulate to my web log. If the 5 buttons don’t seem aligned just like the method they're meant to, attempt being silly with the margin values. things like this inspire Maine to advocate you to travel ahead and learn the fundamental markup language and CSS languages, so you'll edit and perceive basic codes.

Email MarketingTips For Building Lists online

March 02, 2015 Add Comment
The use of a mailing list has become one of the most important parts of creating a constant traffic to your blog , beside the traffic that you get from a mailing list but it has a great potential of keeping visitors connected to your blog and helping you to promote your products and services online.
Let us take a look at email marketing because I have noticed that many bloggers have very little knowledge and understanding about it which is probably a bad thing if you want a constant blog traffic.

What is Email Marketing
Email marketing is a practice that is used to sell products and services using newsletters, it has been the best way in which bloggers and site owners has been able to keep visitors from leaving their sites and I will recommend it to all blogging professionals and site owners.


Email MarketingTips

Who are your blog's subscribers ?
this is the most important question that you should ask before getting into having subscribers because most email subscribers are not after the services that you offer but they are usually after the freebies that you offer to them for example maybe you are offering an ebook to build a mailing list then most of these subscribers will be after the ebook not your site , but as time goes on some are likely to follow your blog and all of the available services it offers.
At the other hand we have loyal readers who are very much interested into your blog services and the content that is offered by the blog, loyal readers are very important to any site because are the engine behind it success and running a scam or spam on your blog can make a lot of bloggers to loose their readers.

Things that may cause readers to unsubscribe from your blog

The type of Ads used
We must avoid using untrusted advertising services that are offering internet scams to the readers because it will all reflect back to your blog and thus causing damage to your site. There are many of these Advertising networks offering spammy ads , these Advertising services are good for monetization but will definately make your site to lose it readers.
I have used Qadabra and Bidvertiser which are probably one of the high paying advertising services but the bad thing about them is that most of the Ads they have are possible online scams. if you are suspicious about the advertisements in your blog then you can Simply Delete them from your blog because the can really cost you your loyal blog readers.

Production of low content
Low quality content will reduce your readers trust towards your blog , when doing some email marketing you must ensure that reader satisfaction is improved. It happens that some of your readers and followers are busy people who potentially don't want their time to be wasted over posts that are low content.
In my recent blog posts I have always motivated the important of quality content as it plays a big role in improving a blog, and most importantly try to be professional by producing quality content.

Bad Blog design
The design of your blog matters the most and I would motivate bloggers to use quality templates for their blogs because most of the readers are mostly satisfied with the beauty and the graphics in the template design. A bad design can cause your readers to lose interest as they may see your blog as unprofessional.

Involvement with spam sites
As a blogger who wants to increase traffic I would motivate that you don't associate your blog with spam sites because I assure you that about 99% of readers hate spam and they may unsubscribe from your blog anytime they notice any involvement with spam sites.

Bookmarking of widgets and Templates
I know that SEO niche bloggers and webmaster sites like to bookmark their widgets with dofollow links that link back to their sites. Readers hate these attribution links because they make the site look unprofessional.
Most readers want free premium widgets and services that will benefit them, bookmarking widgets by adding a link of your site is very good for having an improvement on Alexa and the PR but keep it in mind that readers are strictly against it.

Best ways to Email Marketing

Email marketing was not my favourite part of blogging until I read some testimonies from other blogger and when I tried it I saw great performance in my blog traffic in a way that every post that was published had a number of pageviews within 30 seconds which shows that In every post you publish in your blog the first traffic to that post is directly from the email subscribers. Below I will show you some simple unbelievable tips to grow your network.

Email marketing

  •  Sign up for an email marketing network
Email marketing network have been used by many bloggers and entrepreneurs to make money using a news letter , this currently the best marketing strategy as it sends the message directly to the target customer. The newsletter is mostly used by many companies around the world to contact customers and keep them updated about their products and mass sales. It is simply the best.
The most active Email Marketing network used by online businesses is Aweber which has a lot of awesome features that can make your email marketing campaign a success , You Aweber sign up for Aweber at as low as $1 in your first month . Apart from Aweber is also another quality Email Marketing network that has been used by many bloggers had been turning to Mailchimp which is free for the first 2000 subscribers you get and then then they will start paying  continous monthly payments.

  •  Offer some freebies to keep your readers connected
Many readers that enter your blog daily are not interested in signing up for your blog but they are only after the content that is offerred and once they got it they are gone from your site and it is very likely that they may return, this is a problem that most site owners are facing and it is very hard to control until an investigation showed that offering ebooks and other free useful resources to the readers in exchange of subscriptions has a potential of increasing email subscribers to a stunning rate of 400% or more.

  •  Have a responsive newsletter
A responsive newsletter is a type of newsletter that is easily accessible through all display screens, this includes mobile phones and also tablet devices because it is very true that some readers will also use mobile phones instead of a computer to access your site.
Using a responsive newsletter ensures that your readers will receive the posts the way you want them to appear, and plus it will make your revenue chances to be unlimited.

  •  Use RSS to Mail Feature
This type of feature is very common to blogger as it is also available at Feedburner which automatically sends latest blog posts to the mailing list.

  •  Avoid too much promotion
Too much messages on an inbox are really annoying to anybody that does not want to get their mail boxes flocked with unwanted messages. I will really motivate that you try to post less than 3 messages to your mailing list . I myself hate to get my mail flocked with messages.

Conclusion
A blog without email marketing is incomplete , every site should have a list of subscriber that are connected to its services.

How Does Google Rank a Site Content

January 30, 2015 Add Comment
Search engines use the content of a website to rank it to it deserved position, this has made content to be one of the most important part of SEO, because any site that has not enough content can find itself being ranked very low in search engines which will result to a decrease on the site traffic. A question that you may asked is how does Google and Bing rank a website by its content ? This question is frequently asked by many bloggers and they simply don't get it right.


Google page rank tips
 
The content of the site is not only the quality but it also involves backlinks and user activity of the site. Search Engines have a smart way of rating a site by using the site page rank and please know that the quality of your site will be rated by it content not by it optimization which means that content is a key element that can be used to rank a site according to what was said by the Bing content manager on a  post on Search Quality Content which outlined the importance of quality content.
Below I have shared some important facts about a site content and on how it affects you ranks in search engines.

Factors that Rank your Blog content

• The Authority of a Site

Search engines use the authority of a site to give it a better rank in search ranks , beside the use of keywords content is they part of a website and a site that has low content is very less likely to rank. The authority of a site will not only have to do with content but it will have with how popular is the author and how many followers does the author have and most importantly the reader activity of a site has a big effect on your site and please always try to motivate your readers to comment or share your blog posts.

• The Content Presentation

This will depend on how the content is presented in search engines, which will help you rank better in search engines, you might ask why does it matter how the content is represented ? it is simply because search engines are in so much competition between themselves whereby they will try by all means to satisfy their users by ranking webpages with high quality content which is easy to understand . As a Blogger you must have a certain writing style that will make your blog to unique from other blogs .

• The Content Utility

This refers to how useful the site content is , The content utility defines how much quality or how much helpful is the content of a site. Google will use the user activity which involves the number of shares and comments done on a blog, I always motivated my readers to comment on their blogs to bring an active user interaction among the site visitors.
Search Engines really want to impress their users because they are also in competition with each other, so don't think that Google will give a good rank to the content on your site, the only way to a better rank is through the content utility. The most common part that affects content quality is recycled content whereby the blog author writes posts that are very similar to any post that was earlier posted on a blog , this type of content is called "Recycled Content" or  "repurposed Content" and it can harm your blog.

FINAL WORDS
Always try to be original and only post original blog posts on your blog which will make your site to gain respect because no readers like to be feed fake content, the readers will want only quality content. A good rank that depends on on SEO is very dangerous for your blog because search engines are really against  SEO because it tricks them and they may give your site a penalty .
