Technorati keyword, a tool to differentiate your blog




Since the post that I have written about Technorati, I have continue to discover new tools from Technorati and it is very important not to underestimate the power it brings to your blog. To be proven supreme, a blogger must be access their positions with others who fight for those precious seats in Google with their keywords.

How do you analyze what others are blogging about? How do you know what topic to choose from? Well, from my personal experience I find this Technorati Keyword tool to be proven to be highly useful and I will introduce it to you guys today. A Technorati Keyword tool provides users the opportunity to search on what others are blogging on the same subject that you are talking about. For example, if you follow this link you would find out the amount of bloggers that are blogging about me from their blogs which is about 3 for today. This same tool can be used to search other keywords.

If you type in the word "money" into the Technorati keyword search box, you will realize that there are a ton of people that are writing about money. As you can see, some close to 31000 people out there are blogging about money, so in ths topic which I blog about is quite competitive. Apparently, there are tons of others that are also interested and blogging about money. Obviously who really makes it in the end all boils down to which blog is more useful and there are many other criterias that makes a successful blog. Do be sure to check out your own field, which you blog so you can know what you're up against before jumping into the topic. Some of the topic which don't have a lot of people talking about may actually be a great niche opportunities for those of us that are hoping for more readers!

Now, what this program has another level to just doing a simple search on topics. It can be embedded into your web site!! Instead of checking into the Technorati web site, it's easy to embedded this widget into your site and the code is just right below the page. This obviously allows you to see who's doing what you're blogging or wanting to blog in a day to day basis. The only downside is that there's search bar with this widget which you can embedd to your web site, therefore if you would like to search for additional keywords you are required to go to Technorati and to do so. It's a fabulous tool and I recommend any of you to check them out!

Reviewme, a blogger's authority to make money





Reviewme is true a blogger's authority to make money. Why? Because Reviewme has one of the highest payout rate in the industry for bloggers along with its effectiveness to deliver quality reviews. Each review requested from advertisers for bloggers would cost them a minimum of $40. That's a lot of money for a simple review! From programs that I have introduced in the past such as Blogsvertise or Smorty, Reviewme pays close to double or triple the amount of its competitors.

Although Reviewme has a more tedious selection process in their acceptance in blogs as stated in my video with a higher requirement of Technorati, Alexa, and RSS feed rank, it has become almost a status symbol once you have been accepted. Many well known bloggers such as Johnchow and Maki uses reviewme and it definitely provides Reviewme with a lot of creditabiltiy. Obviously they've also offer great features for bloggers such as assignment notification and a choice of accepting the assignment or rejecting it. Unless you are a newbie in blogging, Reviewme is definitely something worth looking into. Now, that's not to say that you should abandon other companies such as Blogsvertise or Smorty because to make money smart you always have to diversify yourself so you don't run into trouble when one doesn't work out.

Authority of Alexa & Technorati shouldn't be underestimated






Many of us may have already have a solid understanding of Alexa rank and Technorati, but a lot of times we do not see the importance of Alexa or Technorati as something that is vitally crucial. Through my video, I will explain why both of these web sites are something that you should definitely not overlook and the potential both web sites bring to the table is definitely a lot higher then one can imagine. Many of us rely on search engine optimization or making connections throughout different web rings to boost our traffic, but when was the last time that you take a serious look at your Alexa rank and Technorati?

Often times, we are too heavily focused on audiences according to our demographic origin that we miss out on the scheme of blogs globally. As we all know, traffic is the origin of income in your blog in any type of settings that I've blogged about. Whether it's writing articles, complete offers, forum postings, advertisements etc. When you have optimized your blog in the blogger world globally, watch out! You have something different that a lot of others have often overlooked. It's not about the quantity but the quality of things you do with your blog, remember only doing things the smart way will you make smart money!

Networking, a must for bloggers



I have played with video editing for a bit, however somehow the web site's embedding area is having some problems so I have decided to provide you my original video without editing above. If you're interested in seeing my edited video Here it is <--click me! It's pretty cool actually, tell me how you guys like it!

When you write a blog, there's nothing more important then to networking. What's the point if you spend you heart out in composing a nice blog with no readers? There are three areas which I have found through my time blogging and through the video I will show you what they are. With the right tools and network, you will gain the confidence of your target audience which you will gain not just an audience, but a consistant audience. Combining with your money making tools in your blog, it will dramatically increase your presense and visibility in the world of internet. I have tried a different twist to my video blog today and I wish you would really enjoy it. Any feedback I would greatly appreciate it! :)
