‘Dat Money.com’ 2008-01-29 15:22:59 I wanted to tell you about a fellow blogger, Jay a.k.a. “Dat” who has done some great work for me.He recently ran a special offer to design 125 x 125 pixel banner ads for $1.00 each (the offer ends at the end of January). The offer has been quite popular. Check out his page of some of the examples of his work . If you are quick – you can probably order a banner from him for a very low price - only one dollar. This page shows some of the nice banner work he’s created, plus he’s giving out a little “link love” by linking to all the people he’s done some designing for.I asked him to make a couple of banners for me, and here they are – one for each of my blogs:Now my girlfriend wants some banners for her site. A contagious idea, when the price is right: I mean, he is charging Read more:Money

Expert Bloggers 2007-12-30 21:22:08 “John Chow”. I would never have heard of this name if I hadn’t found an article in a newspaper's business section about John Chow’s website and how successful he has been.

Happy New Year 2007-12-27 08:55:13 The Christmas holidays are almost over now and the Boxing Day sales are in full force, all leading up to the final day of the year and celebration – New Years Eve. I’ve been busy shopping for gifts, wrapping them, attending some parties, eating good food, lots of good drinks and meeting up with friends and family. It’s been very, very busy.As for blog stats for the month of September. Many sites experience a decline in traffic for the month of December. Unless your site has a good selection of merchandise that holiday shoppers would like to buy for the gift giving season, you are likely to experience a decline in traffic. This drop in site traffic also occurs in the month of August when many people are away from their computers and taking their summer holidays.December is a make-it o Read more:Happy

Length of a Blog Post? 2007-12-02 10:28:32 A question you might be asking and a question which has been debated by bloggers is how longer should a blog post be?An important factor when deciding how long your posts should be is to consider the actual attention span of web readers. This has been the subject of many studies and it has been found that the attention span for a web reader is about 96 seconds for a blog or a website page. Using this wisdom as a guide – you should keep your content limited to short articles which can be read quickly in the limited amount of time that a web reader will actually spend on your site.SEO experts say that either very short or very long articles do not get as high a ranking in the search engines as articles of a reasonable length. An article of reasonable length would be about 250 words. Th Read more:Blog Post
