5 Steps To Create An Article Directory Without Knowing Programming In Wordpress!
We all net-users use Article Directory to read and submit articles in order to get various information and backlinks. Within so many thousands of sites and blogs some may not differentiate an Article Directory with other Websites and Blogs. For some quick idea I suggest you to visit Articlesbase and EzineArticles.
Why You Want To Create An Article Directory?
You can create it for various purposes. Firstly the money from monetizing. Secondly, to promote you other blogs. Thirdly, to share information and lastly, be the owner of a huge site.
How to earn money from Article Directories? Its a common question. Answer is simple too. Increase your quantitiy sign up for Google Adsense and gain popularity to earn per impression and click.
5 Steps To Create An Article Directory
#1 - Register a domain : 50% of your company and online success depends on your domain and hosting planning. Choose such a domain that is - 1. easy to remember - 2. easy to pronounce - 3. as short as possible.
#2 Wise Hosting - Always buy secured hosting. Otherwise, you are mostly probably going to be HACKED! I suggest you HostGator. And for this article directory you should better plan how big site you are willing to create and how much you can invest for articles. So take bandwidth accordingly.
#3 Install Wordpress - Installing wordpress is too easy. Look up here and work accordingly. It may take an hour to install if you are here for new and know nearly nothing how these works.
#4 Choosing the right theme (template) - You won't be able to work with a simple theme designed by your baby. Rather go for the Articlesss.com and get the theme. We all thank that site's owner for providing this fantibulous theme.
#5 Write Articles - Make categories, sub categories. And insert minimum five articles to go on. As soon as you have a minimum of 50 unique articles, go for promoting and advertising. And monetize wisely with Adsense and Infolinks (which are the best couples). Also tell your friends, family and known ones to submit and contribute articles.
Some Extra Tips

4. Understand yourself: Most of the guys have an enquiry : What will I blog about?

15 Ways To Receive More Comments In Your Blog
It is a very common phenomenon that new bloggers are tired of writing content more and more without a single comment. Today I am writing a post with 15 Techniques which may help you to increase your comment amount to a high extent. But make sure that you apply all the techniques step by step.
1. Make a relation with new visitors: New visitors will obviously have a hard time to understand what you provide and how to get the most from it. You can help the new visitors by a quick chat or something like that in this time. Use this service from Woopra .
2. Reply to each comments you receive: Once you receive a comment from your visitors, reply them even if they do not ask a question. By this another visitor will be interested and subscribe to comments in the blog. This is a good way of getting more comments.
3. Ask some questions inside the content: In your blog post do not forget to ask one or two questions to your audience. But please do not spam the post with a bunch of questions.
4. Give some value who comment regularly: Keep a widget in your blog with the title 'Top Commentors'. So people will be interested to see their name there with their blog link and photo if possible. Learn from here.
5. Expose yourself: Try to tell about your bad sides in a friendly manner to your blog readers. This is going to increase your comment quantity. If you are lazy, if you look bad, if you failed to do something share it with your readers. Because people are more interested in other's activities!
6. Make the process as easy as ABC! : Here, I mean that make your commenting process a bit easier. In Worpress, the bloggers are having a good time in getting comments. But for blogger users, they must cutomize the systems and make easier. For this go to 'Settings' tab and 'Comments' sections to customize. Check the 'anonymous' button to enable comments from all people.
7. Do not say everything: You do a great research on the post but do not give all the information. Then people won't have any point to share in the comment box.
8. Disable the register option: When I find somewhere that I will need to register and then comment, then I normally do not comment in that blog. Because I am a bit lazy and do not want to share my information all day long!
9. End with a invitation: When you finish writing your post, then tell your visitors to comment your audience 'Teach me in the comment box' or something like this.
10. Give your visitors opportunity to edit their comments: Sometimes people make some mistakes in spelling and grammar. If they do not get the right to edit their own comments, then probably you're going to loose some valuable subscribers. For Wordpress users, use the plugin: here.
11. Reward with name in the post: When some commentors ask you a question very much relevant to your blog topic and you know a lot about it, then you can reward a post for him. And write that 'Dedicated to (name) .' in the intro.
12. Make 'Recent Comments' like I did: I placed a widget in the right sidebar titles as Recent Comments. To see your name there, comment me below! You should place the widget to give some additional value to your readers.
13. Enable 'emoticons': Haven't you seen a smiling face in the comments, yet? When visitors type :), then the the sign automatically turns into a smiling face. When, :(, then it shows that the commentor is sad. These are called emoticons. In most cases, in Wordpress it is automatically enabled. But in blogger you should look for here for a box full of emoticons above the comment.
14. Enable 'DoFollow' tags: Do you know why nowadays people comment like mad? They comment specially in dofollow blogs to increase their Google Page Rank. If you are interested to give something free to your visitors, then enable that system. If you are hearing new about dofollow, then read the article here. To enable it in blogger, go for here.
15. Let users make your blog a discussion forum: You can enable threaded reply system in your blog. So if someone comments your blog something wrong, then let another reader reply and correct him.
These are the systems to get more comments in your blog in a short period of time. If you know some more points, please let me know below.

When, :(, then it shows that the commentor is sad. These are called emoticons. In most cases, in Wordpress it is automatically enabled. But in blogger you should look for here for a box full of emoticons above the comment.
14. Enable 'DoFollow' tags: Do you know why nowadays people comment like mad? They comment specially in dofollow blogs to increase their Google Page Rank. If you are interested to give something free to your visitors, then enable that system. If you are hearing new about dofollow, then read the article here. To enable it in blogger, go for here.
15. Let users make your blog a discussion forum: You can enable threaded reply system in your blog. So if someone comments your blog something wrong, then let another reader reply and correct him.
These are the systems to get more comments in your blog in a short period of time. If you know some more points, please let me know below.
Where is success? Let's run for it
Success is a butterfly flying in your home garden. Success may take its shape as a bird flying in the sky. Success may be your puppy sleeping beside you. Success perhaps...
I was stated these three sentences to make you understand three different aims. First I said about butterfly which is not so easy to grab or even not impossible. While, the bird is totally a impossoble job to be caught from the sky. Again, may be Allah (God) has fixed success for you in such an easy way which I compare to grabbing a puppy living in your basement!
To gain it, you will need to fix a determination. What you will do, how you are going to make things come out from it. Take Blogging here as an apposite example. Its neither a difficult job, but its nearly impossible. Why? Because you'll need patience, which most people do not have. Keep on writing and promoting. Then one day you will get the result.
After a year, you may say that 'Where is my money? I have worked like ants work in the summer' - Thats the point you have chance to fall down from the rudder.
If I fix about me, then I will say that I haven't reached the corridor of the house where success lives but I have entered the main gate. I am also trying and sharing my each and every experience, new thoughts, ideas and plannings with you.
Hope you like them. Tweet them, share them and help me to knock at the door of success. Then perhaps I will have better experiences and will help you also to have a try like me. Please comment about what kind of feelings you are having after reading the post.
Enjoy Blogging!
Shafin.

Kinds of posts - Make variations in the post for the success
Are you bored of writing the same kinds of posts again and again? Then be sure that your readers will be three times more bored than you. So what to do now? Let me show you 15 various types of posts which are used by the famous ones and they grabbed the success at last.
1. Write Review of others
These kinds of posts have now become very much popular. When someone wants to buy a kind of product he/she obviously wants to know what people say about it. So, they search on Google with (product name+ review) . If you have a high PageRank and your all pages are well optimized by the search engines, then you will get a very decent amount of Search Traffic.
If your blog is about business ideas, buying items, travel plannings, information etc. then try to collect and write everything in a list rather in a scattered way. Such as the list I have made in this post.
Example post: 10 Steps To Start Your First Earning Blog
Provide more and more information on your niche. It would be beneficial for Search Engine Rankings. Because they love long and informative post (But don't write more that 1000 words). Another thing. When some one come to your site and get the desired information by reading your blog post, then s/he is likely to bookmark it and subscribe. So, its your benefit.
It is a very common phenomenon, that you have nothing to write more in a week. Then its your time to visit other blogs in your niche (maybe started new) which are unable to come in the first page of Google, but informative. You can link to their site and just write why you have linked to them in order to give these kinds of posts more unique look.
Example post (in the blog): Again I write about the king of the kings (Download links for Kumar Sanu Songs)
Did you notice a site 'http://ehow.com?' They just made a jump on the net. When you search Google with any keywords starting with 'How to .......', you will notice the results from eHow.com (also other keywords are included from eHow). Anyway, writing instructional articles can help you to triple your subscribers.
How to article example: How to get more followers in @Twitter - A success guide for newbies
In this world we are always busy to choose one from the two. Right? You will see people are searching Google for 'Facebook vs. Twitter which is better'. Now if you write a post like this, then its your chance to get more Search Traffic as soon as they are optimized.
Look at an example article I written at ezinearticles.com. here.
From my blog- Kumar Sanu vs. Udit Narayan : Let's have a fight
People need inspiration to go on the life journey. Such as a man started blogging for a year, but looking at his tiny profit, he broke down his mind. Now if he reads a inspirational post in your blog with some secrets revealed, then s/he is going to become your loyal reader.
8. Make a mixture with opinions and list
I have already wrote about link posts. They are great because people will go to a site from the link you provided and they will come back to your post again, and will visit another site once again. It increases the chance of your page to be bookmarked. Now its the time to check what they have written in their respective posts and what comments did they receive. Check them explore them and write everything in a neat post with your own idea and opinion added.
The famous are already popular. While blogging, if you write a post about a huge celebrity in your niche, then his fans is likely to be converted to your traffic! This just worked for my blogs also. I wrote about some of the famous celebrities. And the funny thing is that those posts are more trafficked compared to the Money Making posts ! Look at the category here named as 'Favorite Celebrities.'
Celebrate your and your blog's birthday and post different pictures with cakes and your blog name written in various banners in hard copy. Anyway, the kinds of posts won't work unless you get thousands of page views daily.
I remember of that day when I got familiar with these kinds of posts. Such as someone is not getting Adsense Approval but you have got. Then show them the way as I have did in my post here. You can also write about travel, tech or daily life related problems. Solve problems of others, then people will come to solve your financial problem :)
You have perhaps seen that I have written some research posts by taking time to visit other sites and visit other services, what they tell and everything just happens. The more you work hard for your blog, the more profit you are likely to receive.
Only posting pictures with little writing are also a nice method to keep up blogging when there is limited time to write more. Please try to be very much unique. Then you are going to receive traffic from Google Images. And many people are trying these out very efficiently. Video blogging is also similar to this.
Let's make a debate with the bloggers in our relevant niche. It can be a fun too. But when someone cross the limit, s/he will find himself in hot water!
Write cool interviews you made with smart people. Write about the nice and funny conversation you made with those people in your life. And also write what good advice you received from famous bloggers or other popular figures.
So these are the cool 15 kinds of posts. Write all these 15 types in your blog to make some variations and give your readers some fun. I would love to look your comments below. And a tweet for this post is highly appreciated.

Start with Hubpages before you start Blogging Journey
We, maximum blog owners do and get something really great from Article Marketing. Read my posts- 5 Reasons to start and continue Article Marketing and I am writing periodically at Articlesbase and gaining great to learn more about Article Marketing strategy, idea, significance and promoting guidelines.
Anyway, Hubpages is somehow similar to article marketing. But in most cases it can provide you with something extra facilities. Like, you will get money from Adsense, Amazon revenue, but the article directories are not going to share you with those opportunities.
Anyway, one problem with Hubpages is that, you will need to work hard, give effort and time to promote it compared to that Article Marketing as the Hubs (posts you write) are your property (in a sense) and no one is going to give time to promote your one. But you will get something nice facilities from the Hubpages Administrators as they are always busy to develop their site, and your hub (page) is a part of that!
The Pros of Hubpages
While using Hubpages, I already told you that you are going to gain something great from it. So let me just make you the concept clearn with neat points, below.
- The site will be optimized for Search Engines to crawl.
- That's already a high-trafficked website.
- You can easily meet with thousand publishers (they call 'hubbers') contibuting that site.
- You can have the opportunity to earn money from their faster.
- There is grading system for Hubbers. Once you reach more than score 75, then the site machine is going to expel the nofollow tag, and you will be able to link to your site with 'dofollow' tags which is going to help you increase the Google's eye of importance to your site (called Page Rank).
- With Hubpages sharing options are easier. You can get regular readers there and grow your overall name, site & business reputation to a great extent. The people can easily share your articles utilizing Social Networking sites such as 'Twitter and Facebook.'
- Nowadays, maximum people are getting rejected from Google Adsense for missing some Terms. But if you use Hubpages, create a hub. Then the process is a bit easier. And later you can make a channel and place ad units to your site in the very beginning. To get guaranteed Adsense Approval, I suggest you to read my post here- Guaranteed Adsense Approval (if you want to make the Approval Process easy for you.)
Choosing the best blogging platform
Many bloggers at the beginning start to think a lot about which platform to choose, which template to select and which topic and keywords to go with. But if you really want to take my advice, I would suggest everyone of you to think and understand which platform possess which kinds of abilities and capabilities. Such as, if you are here to start your blog just as your hobby then the platform will be something different and if you want to register your company with your blog name then the process will be something different. Let us discover which platforms are here to help us blog with.
You should have already known that blogger provides free (domain+hosting+customization) fully free unless you intend to buy content, templates and something more. If you think that you do not have much experience in blogging, writing and catching up with your readers, then blogger is the best solution for it. You will get everything including (money+success) from Blogger but the process is a bit slower. Because, we know that as it is free all people are crumbling there with new domains and blogs and blocking the paths of those who really want to blog. So, from thousands of scam sites it will be your job to come up and show off yourself to the people. Which will need (creativity+patience+little experience of writing). Another bad side of blogger is that the domains seems quite bigger with 8 characters added with your desired name. Such as your blog is on Facebook Tip. If you want to start a blog with the name then facebooktip.(blogspot).com will be added, which will be difficult for those people to remember who actually do not know what is blogger and other services.
But Blogger is really a fascinating platform if you want to give a try! One day one of my friends suggested me to jump blogger to wordpress with this exisitng blog (which you're reading). But I didn't because the link juice, popularity which I got for this domain with (x.blogspot.com) added. I have no intention to do the struggle again with the only (x.com). So whenever you are here to choose a blog platform, always know that if you once choose Blogger it will be a very tough job to shift to your main and paid domain. But Blogger has a plus point because it is the product from Google. And what Google creates, it rank #1 in the world. So whatever you do with blogger it is absolutely safe to go with.
In the very beginning I need to say that Wordpress will do the best for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) with necessary plugins. And it is easy to customize everything from the dashboard. And whenever you are here to change the theme (template) in Wordpress, it will make the overall process much easier.
Did you hear about Darren Rowser from Problogger? Most probably you have. If his domain was problogger.blogspot.com, he could not make the status as #1 blog tips provider in the present world. Because its free and free can never take you to the the desired position you dream about today.
So both Blogger and Wordpress is a good solution to blog with. It actually totally depends on you how you are going to make the plan and start with. If you want to become a full time blogger, its your duty to choose Wordpress and Blogger if you want to make a start.
So as a conclusion, "Blogger stands #1 for newbies"
"Wordpress stands #1 for people whi have interest, intention and dream to make the most from blogging expo."

A quick post about RSS Feed
I was highly disappointed when one of my friends asked me 'What is RSS Feed?'. I just got a shock. Because in the modern world, who uses Internet must know about the RSS Feed Service and use it for their own success. Such as I write so many posts to present you, you may have tight schedule in a week, so it would be hard for you to come to my blog unless you bookmark it. But if you subscribe to the RSS Feed here, you will be able to keep track to my site, which is already being used by millions of regular Internet Users,
So what is RSS?
According to Darren Rowse of Problogger,
How to subscribe
Yea, its as easy as ABC! When you visit a blog or website, in the navigation bar you will find a RSS icon, just click on that. Then a drop down menu will come down, then you choose from the two options. Look at my page snapshot below-
Click here,
Once, you have done this, you will be subscribed to the page. And will be able to select various methods to keep track with the sites. RSS stand 'Really Simple Syndication'. So, let's have a try!
So what is RSS?
According to Darren Rowse of Problogger,
"RSS is a technology that is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites."When RSS Feed was not here to help us read other blogs, we all had a hard time bookmarking different blogs and website. It can arise various problems such as, we may miss various updates when we forget to check the bookmarks. Another big problem is that, if we bookmark too many sites it looks very crazy. And the important blogs become lagged behind. So RSS Feed is now the only solution.

How to get more followers in @Twitter - A success guide for newbies
I have never found anything special with Twitter. Because I could use Facebook more easily and had a full control over that friendly site. Anyway, now I discover that Twitter is another kind of media which is very different to Facebook. I was actually comparing apples with oranges :)! That means both are of different tastes.
You will never find anything good with Twitter unless you possess hundreds or even thousands of followers. Because if you start Tweeting (Tweet means status, in twitter you can only do that and send personal messages), and no body follow (reads and discover) your tweets, then its totally useless, unproductive and meaningless. So in this post I am presenting you some good ways to get more twitter followers.

An easy solution to wordpress themes- A guide for newbie
You are new to wordpress, right? Then it is a very common matter that you will have trouble in choosing the perfect theme and to customize it. I remember my early days in Wordpress. I spent all day long in finding a perfect theme. And if I found one, I failed to customize. Later, I found a theme which I used earlier can bring the solution. You can download the theme from the site here. Name of the theme is 'Mystique'. As soon as you install it in your blog & activate it, then you will see an menu at the left sidebar of the Dashboard that 'Mystique Theme Menu'. Visiting there you will get everything. If you think that, you will create a website not a blog, then you go to the settings. And in the sub-menu you will find Reading option. Go there tick the check box of the option 'A Static Page'. Hope it helps :) Questbd.com is a website which I designed with this theme. You can check that.
Today its a very busy day for me. Bye. I will write more tomorrow :) :) :)
