Successfully Overcome Your Blog Competition

Overcome Your Blog Competition

On Blogging there is potentially a great competition that is faced by Bloggers all over the world but that does not mean that you wont be able to make it because of the word "Competition" . In this post I will discuss with you the best tactics that will help you overcome your blog competition within a very short amount of time and by just using a few blogging basics to your advantage.

Blogs are started daily and by recent estimation it was founded that more than 3 million blogs are being launched on the internet daily which Adds to the 100 million online active blogs on the internet. But Recently I was able to start a couple of free blogs Which I was able to market and they have done well on the internet and more surprisingly they have been receiving good traffic and quality backlinks from different sites on the internet, With the strategies I used there have a good improvement which has motivated me to share with you an article on how to outrun your Blog competition.

Blogging is Simple and does not require too much hardwork but commitment and strategic planning because running a blog require a lot of Responsibility either than just posting a long thread of posts, a blog needs a lot of commitment in other to grow a blog, Ajaxsurf was not hard to run a couple of moths ago until I started publishing quality well organised posts.
In Blogger commitment is very important and

  • Social
Social Media is the driving force of many sites and blogs around the world as there had been a great rate of the sharing of posts online, infact people love to share posts online and that can be simplified only by adding social buttons and widgets on your blog.
In my Recent post I have shared about the The Secret behind Mashable Success in which I share with you about how did mashable got to reach a margin of having over 20 million visitors through the use of social media. Which displays that social media is a powerful source of traffic if it is used wisely in a good marketing perspective, Yes search Engine Optimization is a good source of traffic as it exposes your site to a huge number of visitors but social media works different and it influence cannot be predicted as it can reach a margin close to 1million vistors per post which hardly happen through SEO.

  • Provide quality Content
Bloggers say content and well I agree with them on that because I have seen the effectiveness of quality content on a blog and on how it helps improve the quality of a blog before the readers and also to the search engines, content has been the driving force to search engine optimization.
The type of content provided by your blog will not only give you the best traffic that you may require from your blog but will also ensure an increase in the number of loyal readers on your site because it is very important that you win over your blog visitors.

  •  Keep Promises to Readers
Keeping your promises to your blog readers plays a huge role in ensuring the growth of your blog, don't be like to spammy bloggers who collect emails in promise of an ebook and end up not giving the readers what they have requested.
I have seen it more frequently on blogger where spam have been used a key behind their growth, spam can help improve a blog but will cause your blog readers to lose the trust that they have towards your blog.

Ajaxsurf is not a better blog than most of the blogger blogs but we play it simple by not getting ourselves involved in any type of scams that are done by some blogs, readers hate spam  and they will not want to get involved with any spam sites. If it happens that you are involved in any type of spam then you better remove it association from your blog if are serious to take your readers to a greater blogging margin which will as well enhance great traffic and revenue from your blog.

  •  Professionally Respond to Comments
The comments shared by the blog readers are to be taken seriously if you want your blog visitors to stick around, your responses to the reader comments should be done in a way that will please both the readers and the you as the blog Administrator.

  •  Go an extra Mile before the Competition
It is very important that you improve your blog in a way that will surpass the competition of your blog. Always try to go an extra mile by producing very first class news, tutorials and other blog niche related things

  •  Keep your titles to atleast 50-60 characters
The title of the post plays a big role in the perspective of looking in a keyword wise manner, it will ensure the best possible rank for your site.

  •  Give a unique name to your Blog
First of all when you want to become a successful blogger, you got to be unique and have a theme that will only point to your blog. Yes there are many blog templates that are used online, you can simply buy one or just use a free version instead of a professional version it makes no difference at all, as a blogger you got to stand out of the millions and stand in the number one position by producing quality content without looking down on your blog.

If there is a huge blog that you want your site to be like in the near future, then you really have to do a research about them and also try to copy their style of writing and skill and you will really see great improvements on your site. When I started Blogging I always followed top blogs until I was able to reach their level and when I had reached their level, I found out there were more even larger blogs whereby right now I am focussing in reaching those to Blog. The secret to successful blogging is not just about  the competition but it is about working in a way that will reach the even greater competition, so don't focus on blogs that are the same size as your blog but you got to aim even more higher.

How to Customize or Edit Blogger Mobile Templates

After the mobile armegeddon which was known as the "Mobilegeddon" there has been a huge demand for high quality mobile Templates excluding blogger and Wordpress because the users are given an option to choose from a range of mobile templates. But upon looking at those facts we have found a great deal of websites that offer customizations for the traditional Blogger templates with very easy to use customization tools which has probably attracted thousands of bloggers into signing up for free and professional accounts to get their own blogger hosted mobile blogs into  stylish mobile themes.



Blogger itself has a variety of mobile template styles which as well can be work very well with any mobile device as they are made to respond very well to different screen Sizes in which I would really congratulate blogger for such great customizations.

To get your blogger mobile Template to work in a way that suites you does not need you to make any monthly payments on any other service or network as I am going to show you the changes that you should apply your blog Template code and If you are not really familiar with editing the Blogger HTML code then you will have to visit our Blogger Services page and we will simply do it for you.

How To Customise Blogger Mobile Template

I know that some online companies will hate me for this post but I am sure they will move on, Blogger is a free service and they shouldn't make bloggers to pay any monthly payments to keep their mobile themes running.

The Blogger mobile Template is fixed in this order as shown Below.


  • Header
  • Blog
  • Pagelist
  •  Adsense
  • Profile
  • Atrribution

To view the codes of these widget you will have to go to your blog Dashboard>>>Template>>>Edit html.
Within the Template html you can control the appearance of these widgets, by using a couple of attributes which will control how these widgets apear on your blog. These attributes are divided into three which are:

mobile="no"  Attribute

The mobile=no Attribute will hide/prevent any widget from appearing on your blog, most of the widgets on your blog are prevented by this attribute from appearing on the mobile Template.

mobile="yes" Attribute

The mobile="yes" attribute means that the widget will show both on the desktop version of the site and also on the site mobile version.

mobile="only" Attribute

The mobile="only" attribute will restrict any widget to appearing only on the mobile template, this means that particular widget will not appear on the desktop Version of your site.

Adding the Mobile Attributes to Blogger
Adding these attributes is not hard at all as you just have to open the Template html code and Right on to select Jump to widget and select the widget that you want to edit it properties. In this case I will use the attribution widget as an Example .
The default attribution code is :

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' title='' type='Attribution'/>

Now from the above code if you want to  hide the widget code from the mobile template you will have to use to add the mobile="no" attribute as shown in the example below.

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='no' title='' type='Attribution'/>

To show the widget on both the desktop version and on the mobile version of your blog you will have to to simply add the the mobile="yes" attribute to the code as shown below.

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='yes' title='' type='Attribution'/>

And lastly to restrict the widget to the mobile template only you will have to add the mobile="only" attribute which will cause the widget not to appear on the desktop version, adding it is simple you just have to add the attribute as shown below.

<b:widget id='Attribution1' locked='true' mobile='only' title='' type='Attribution'/>


Now  we are done with the showing of widgets on the blogger template which, implement the attributes as instructed and you will see the effectiveness of the blogger mobile template.
Save the Template changes and check your mobile template to see if it suites your blog.
If your blog is not having a mobile Template them probably you have deactivated the mobile template from appearing on your blog, to activate the mobile Template you just have to follow these simple steps.

Step 1 : Go to Blogger Dashboard>>>Template and press on the Gear as shown on the Image below.



Step 2 : This trick works better on The custom Blogger mobile Template, so you will have to choose the custom template as shown below.



It is mostly recommended that you use the custom blogger mobile or Template as it works ver well but if it happens that it is not pleasing you then you may use the Simple, Awesome and the other featured blogger mobile template, they will all work very well with your blog.


How To Promote And Transform Your Blogger/Wordpress Blog Like A ProBlogger

Being a Problogger is the dream of most bloggers out there with a hope of making great online profits one day, most small blogs make less than $50 per day in profits while some medium blogs got to make $100+ per day and then we got big blogs that make $1000+ per day which is a very good amount of money that can be made through blogging. Maybe You just had to question like how can one make a good income from blogging or how can I become a professional, Well I am going to show some very simple ways that get you to create the next mashable, the next CNN or the Next Techcrunch because it is really not hard at all but it just needs what we call "will" and "Skill" and then you will be a professional blogger.

When you get to look closely at the professional blogger, you will notice that professional blogs make money by either selling Ads or promoting some Advertising to it readers which has made them to prosper in the blogging.

Blogger and Wordpress are probably the best blogging services that I am quite familiar with but blogging platforms are the same only if you will know how to reach the right audience at the right time, the audience that is Right will include the blog loyal readers and the loyal customers who will support your blog, loyal readers in a blog is a must have and keeping them tagged to your blog will not only benefit your blog in making profits and revenue but it will build a noticable foundation and background after the blog which will help your site rank very well on Google and other search engines because the user activity of a site has been considered as a very strong ranking signal.

The Blog readers are the most important characters in a blog because they play a huge role in contributing to a blog as they love your blog as you love it, I have seen some Bloggers trying to use various types of widgets a plugins to spam their readers which I would say it is crazy, Professional Bloggers must follow a certain procedure to build successful blogs and they should have respect for the blog readers. In my Blogging career the first type of Advertise network was Qadabra and the After it was Bidvertiser, these Advertising services contained a lot of Spam Ads and scams which were in the form of pop under Ads and Also the irritating Pop up Ads. Don't get me wrong Bidvertiser is one of the five highest PPC Advertising networks in the World but they lack proper Ad filtering.
The Comments of a Blog have to be controlled at a serious note because when it comes to Blogging spam is one of the biggest problems faced online, even I had a problem dealing with Spam on Blogger until I used some CSS and JQuery codes on my which deactivated all the anauthorised comment links included on the comment box. Your Blog should look representable to the readers whether the visitor is visiting for the first time or not, the reader must find it safe to comment on your blog.

Sell Something Your Readers

When Openning a Blog or a website you are getting yourself into the world of online profits, because have blog is similar to having an online magazine whereby thousands of readers get to read articles daily and also buy any product that is being offered by the magazine. When looking at the magazines like Forbes and YOU, you will get to notice that they make most of their profits from sales and Advertising just as happens on a blog. Selling a product can involve any thing that was made by the blog author or any member of the blog, it can be anything from  Advertising Networks, Affiliate Products by other bloggers and the products that have been manufactured by the Blog.
On my upcomming book I will be titled 7seven Possible Income Streams for Bloggers I do mention an ebook as the best thing to sell on a blog because Ebooks are very powerful as the number of sales that one can make is very unpredictable, an Ebook is a must have if you are interested in making online passive income, any blogger can write a niche ebook which can be sold on Amazon, Ajaxsurf Publishers and many other online retailers. If it happens that you are running a news site then you should have Ads on Place and the onlything you are only required to do is to simply bring readers to your blog and they can click on those Ads which will eventually generate a good revenue.
As I mentioned above that there are four possible/Common ways to make online profits which can be anything from :

  • Selling Your Created products

As mentioned above as a blog there should be atleast a product that you would be selling to the blog readers and customers.
  •  Selling Affiliate Products

Affiliate Products are an another method of generating income through your blog, affiliate products are not made by you or your blog but they are made by blogging professionals. the great thing about affiliate products is that you can sell any product or service irrespective of whether you are an author or not. So with Affiliate networks you don't need to create any product but you choose any product and sell to the readers.

  •  A Good paying Advertising Network

Advertising networks can make you money while you sleep, the only thing you are required to do is to find a good Advertising network like Adsense Ads, Infolinks and Media.net Ads which will really boost your online income.

  •  Have a Service to sell on your blog

Sell a service or anything that you specialize in as it happens that many blog readers have problems with their blogs and having you as an experienced blogger will help them in the form a consultation or a paid webinar, Its just that simple.


Get new readers to signup for your Blog

It is very important that you please your readers both the new and the old because that is the main reason for the increase in profits of many professional blogs on the internet. The Newsletter and a Membership blog will ensure that your blog has it clients tagged because the people who read your blog are mostly potential buyers and having the updated about the products and discounts will really motivate them into buying.


Bring it all Together and Make it Work

Once you have got a minimum of 100 readers on your newsletter then there would a greater chance of making an income and would really motivate you to do so and not just celebrate reaching your first 100 email subscribers but focus on making money because from a mailing list about 20% readers usually make from the email subscribers.

How to change the date of a photograph in Google Photos

This article shows how to change the date associated with a picture in Google Photos.



Update- August 2015

There is now a feature to change the date of individual pictures or videos in Google Photos.

To use it:

  • Navigate to the picture / video you want to set a new date for
  • Click the "information" icon (small "i" currently near the top-right of the photo viewer screen)
  • In the right hand panel, hover your mouse over the item in Details which has a picture of a calendar beside it.
  • Click on the pen icon which appears while you are hovering
  • Enter the new year, month, date and/or time (in 24-hour clock) for your photo or video.
  • Click Save.
Job Done!   You have now changed the date stored with your image or video.





There are still some photos that you cannot see through Google Photos (eg ones uploaded directly through Blogger with some settings, or shared in Google Hangouts).   For these you need to use the date-editing features in Picasa-web-albums, which are described below.


Original Article

When you open Google Photos by default you see the All Photos tab, which shows every picture in your Google account, sorted by the date on which the picture was taken, with the newest at the top.

This works well for recent photos that were taken with smartphones, and so most likely have the correct date-time attached to them.

But for older photos, that were added to Google in bulk when you finally uploaded them from your camera's memory card, the attached date may not be right.

It's even possible to have some photos with no date attached to them - and it looks like Google Photos, very confusingly, shows a nominal date figure in 2075 for these.

One way to avoid the confusion caused by these wrong dates is just to use the Collections tab to view your pictures, and to put photos with the wrong dates into appropriate collections (aka albums) yourself.

But if you want to keep using the All Photos view, you may want to alter the date for some of your  individual photographs, so they show up in the right order.


How to change the date for a picture in Google Photos

Unfortunately Google Photos doesn't have a feature for doign this (yet).   But you can adjust the date assocaited with with a picture by using Picasa Web Albums - provided you have at least some aspects of a Google+ profile (eg a Google+ Page) associated with your Google account.

Follow these steps:

Go to Picasa Web Albums, using the no-re-direct link: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1

Find the album that the photo(s) you want to change are in

Click on the album - this will open the album, and display each picture in it.

Click on the photo you whose date you want to change.

From the menu bar, choose Actions > Edit on Google+.   This opens the photo in Google+'s photo viewer mode.


Click on the drop-down beside Photo Details in the right hand information bar.



Use the options in the pop-up window to choose the correct date, time and even time-zone.



Click Save


Job Done! If you now look at the picture in Google Photos, you will see if with your newly changed date associated with it.


What if you don't have Google+

If Edit in Google+ is greyed out and cannot be selected, then this means you do not have Google+ associated with your Google account.

 The only work-around for this currently is to share the photo (from Google Photos) with another Google account that does have Google+, and use that to change the date.
