Improve Load Time Of Your Blog

Whether your blog is related to your business or its just a personnel blog we all want our visitors to stay and read our content. But if your blog takes a long time to load chances are your visitor will click the close button before they even get to see the content. That is why it is very important to optimize your blog so that it will load quickly. Now that you understand the importance of reducing your load time lets see some simple things that you can do to improve the load time of your blogs.

Removing Unnecessary Database Calls: Free Wordpress themes are coded in a general way so that it can be used by many people without a problem.The problem with this approach is there are few unnecessary database calls that can be removed. For example if you are using self hosted Wordpress and have access to the header file you can remove some unnecessary calls that get the header name, style sheet information etc and hard code the values in your header.

Optimizing Images : Definitely one of the biggest headaches for blogs , because of there high file size images usually take a while to load, so if you are using images in your blog you should optimize them as best as you can. You should be careful of the type of images you upload as well, although Bitmap type images gives you the best quality there large file size reduces load time, so PNG and JPEG formats are the best to use in your blog. Other than that you can use free image optimizing software available in the internet. Plenty of them come up with a Google Search and they all have there advantages and disadvantages. Pick the one that best suits your needs.

Using Plug-ins : Also you can use plug-ins like WP-Cache which really helps improve the load time of your blog if you are getting lots of visitors. Also after adding a plug-in its always a good idea to check the load time of your blogs because some plug-ins tend to make the blog load very slow. Of course if that plug-in is essential to your blog you have to consider other ways to improve performance.

Getting Rid of Ads : If your blog is cluttered with ads then chances are its performing slowly, instead of displaying lots of ads which the user even want see because they take a long time to load, you are a better off showing few ads to visitors that actually see your page. So reducing the number of ads in your blog can go reducing load time.

Increase Your Blog Traffic

One of the most common complaints that I hear from bloggers is the fact that no matter how hard they try, they can’t grow their blogs past 110 or so daily page views. Those early days are indeed the hardest, because you need to put hard work in without the certainty of achieving results.

If you are in that same situation, here is a simple strategy that will certainly increase your blog traffic and make you break the 1,000 daily page views mark. In fact, the strategy could be used even if your are already over that number but have reached a traffic plateau lately.

Just make sure to execute the Four steps as planned and to spend the two hours and a half every day (obviously if you have more time available you can expand the time spent on each of the four steps proportionally).

First Step: Killer Articles (One hour per day)

Spend one hour brainstorming, researching and writing killer articles (also called linkbaits, pillar articles and so on).

Notice that your goal is to release one killer article every week. If that is not possible aim for one every 15 days. So the one hour that you will spend every day will be dedicated to the same piece. In other words, expect killers articles to take from 5 up to 10 hours of work.

If you are not familiar with the term, a killer article is nothing more than a long and structured article that has the goal of delivering a huge amount of value to potential visitors. If you have a web design blog, for example, you could write an article with “100 Free Resources for Designers”. Here are some ideas for killer articles:

* create a giant list of resources,
* write a detailed tutorial teaching people how to do something,
* find a solution for a common problem in your niche and write about it, or
* write a deep analysis on a topic where people have only talked superficially

When visitors come across your killer article, you want them to have the following reaction: “Holy crap! This is awesome. I better bookmark it. Heck, I better even mention this on my site and on my Twitter account, to let my readers and friends know about it.”

Second Step: Networking (Thirty minutes per day)

Networking is essential, especially when you are just getting started. The 30 minutes that you will dedicate to it every day could be split among:

* commenting on other blogs in your niche,
* linking to the posts of bloggers in your niche, and
* interacting with the bloggers in your niche via email, IM or Twitter.

Remember that your goal is to build genuine relationships, so don’t approach people just because you think they can help to promote your blog. Approach them because you respect their work and because you think the two of you could grow together.

Third Step: Promotion (Thirty minutes per day)

The first activity here is the promotion of your killer articles. Whenever you publish one of them, you should push it in any way you can. Examples include:

* letting the people in your network know about it (don’t beg for a link though),
* letting bloggers and webmasters in relevant niches know about it,
* getting some friends to submit the article to social bookmarking sites,
* getting some friends to Twitter the article, and
* posting about the article in online forums and/or newsgroups.

If there is time left, spend it with search engine optimization, social media marketing and activities to promote your blog as whole. Those can range from keyword research to promoting your blog on Facebook and guest blogging.

Fourth Step: Normal Posts (Thirty minutes per day)

Just like a man does not live by bread alone, a blog does not live by killer articles alone. Normal posts are the ones that you will publish routinely in your blog, between the killer articles. For example, you could publish a killer article every Monday and normal posts from Tuesday through Friday. Here are some ideas for normal posts:

* a post linking to an article on another blog and containing your opinion about it
* a post informing your readers about a news in your niche
* a post asking a question to your readers and aiming to initiate a discussion
* a post highlighting a new resource or trick that you discovered and that would be useful to your readers.

Some people use pagerank as the measure of the favorites of the blog. The high pagerank means the blog get high rank in search engine. The blog with high rank is easy to find much money. You can monetize the high rank blog with link, paid to review and advertisement.

Unfortunately, increasing page rank is not easy work. You cannot increase pagerank in one night. You should be patience to do it. Pagerank is difficult for learning especially blogger who has no IT background. I think pagerank science like investment science that is difficult to predict.

Sometime, a blog cheat me. He promised me will put my link, and then I put the link. After one month, I could not see any link to my blog. Then I delete the link to his blog.

You should exchange link with same niche blog. For example, your blog is SEO blog, so you should exchange link with SEO blog.

Managing Multiple Blogs

It is not a surprise to see that there are many bloggers are able to manage multiple blogs at a time. Howver, not all of them are able to manage them successfully. There is often a comprise in quality of blog content to make up for the time spent in managing many blogs at a time.
Yet, there are also some bloggers who are able to keep their multiple blogs up to date and ensure a steady stream of visitors at the same time.

In this article, I'm going to share with you some key points to take note of, if you want to manage multiple successful blogs at the same time. They include, keeping your blog updated, making your content origninal, and limiting a certain amount of time that you spend on each blog.

The first factor that you must consider is to keep the contents of your blogs original rather than recycling them between your multiple blogs. It is crucial that your blogs each have their unique and original blog posts. This is because your readers will often browse through your blogs one by one and if your content is reused between your blogs, it will leave them with a bad impression and they may not return to view your blogs again.

The second tip for having multiple successful blogs is to make sure that all of them are updated regularly. You do not want your visitors to view a blog that is stagnant and not up-to-date. Even the most interesting or remarkable blog post can lose its charm if your readers are returning to your blog only to see the same old blog post.

It is unavoidable that finding the time to update multiple blogs can be a challenge. However, the trick is to limit your time spent on each blog so that you will spend too much time on one, and neglect the rest. You can start out by looking at the needs of each blog and allocating the time needed for updating that particular blog. Some blogs may require more time and effort each week to ensure that it functions properly while others do not.

There are blogs which require more research when you are writing them while others provide more of a mental catharsis where you express your thoughts and feelings on a certain topic. Plan out a timetable to assign each blog to certain period of the day where you can write best and take the time to evaluate your performance otherwise adjust your schedule until you are able to work at your maximum efficiency.

When dealing with multiple blogs, the most important thing is to manage your time wisely. Be sure to plan out your schedule properly so that you can devote sufficient attention and effort to each blog to ensure its success.
