New blogger always choose blogspot or wordpress to start their blog and I think that this is one of the mistakes done by them. The following point will explain the mistakes done by most newbie.
1. Using free domain name
If you cannot afford to buy your own domain name, actually you can try to use co.cc free domain.
2. Choosing a nonsense domain name
I have several friends who have a personal blog on blogspot. They got a long and nonsense name and sometimes got numbers too. That’s not including the word blogspot.com or wordpress.com as a domain name. For blog like this, I always put them in bookmark. Not because I want to follow the blog, but the main reason is I’m not sure whether I will be able to memorize the blog address or not. (more…)

I used to think that a blog is just a mere blog. Nothing more than that. However, once I think carefully, I know that blogging is one of the easiest way to open a newspaper company.
Let start from the beginning. At first, you buy a domain name and hosting for blogging. The hard part is when you need to post something related to the niche that you choose. If you really master in the niche, that’s OK. But if you lack in knowledge, of course you need to gather it by reading other people blogs and website. Lastly, what you will have on your blog is just spin articles that come from other people ideas.
Although your blog is not great enough, lucky because you still have readers that come from search engines and subscribers. Thanks for Google and loyal readers, now you (more…)

Sometimes, web spiders or crawlers that index your site can index your site by using a few different URL. This will lead to duplicate contents issue since the spiders will assume that both of the URLs are different pages although they are actually the same.
Canonical URL is actually a tag that is put in the header section that contain the link of the real page. Due to canonical URL tag, spiders could know whether a page is the real URL or just another alternate URL. If the spiders reach a page through alternate URL, all of related info and link juice from the alternate URL will be passed to the real URL that contain inside the canonical URL tag.
To use canonical url, you just need to insert the code below inside HTML header. (more…)

I used to think that Co.cc is the best site to get free domain, but it seems I didn’t do adequate research.
One of my domain that use Co.cc services is hartaweb.co.cc. After a year, the domain couldn’t be accesed. So I opened my Co.cc account to check for error. I was surprised because I was asked to pay USD 3, USD 5, USD 7 and USD 9 to renew the domain for one, two, three or four years respectively.

I like to explore the related forums that discuss about website and I often hear people ask, “which one is the best free hosting services…?”
For your information, I also fall into this problem before. The confusion on which one should I choose whether to buy pay-hosting, free hosting or blogging from blogspot only. At that time I just use free hosting, but I don’t recommend you all to use it. 000webhost.com is the most favourite free web hosting that I used. 000webhost.com has one of my sites that based on Joomla. Error often occurred when I want to go to Admin part. The worst of all is the server always down and I hate it so much.
Actually, web hosting is not a big deal
From my point of view, I think hosting is not a big problem for someone who just wants to create a blog and share something without any other purpose. If you don’t have any intention to purchase paid hosting, just use any of the free blog service such as blogspot.com or wordpress.com. Again, I’m not recommending you to use free hosting though.

In my previous entry, I explained why I was surprised on Alexa ranking method and how did they can only rank several sub domain of Blogspot precisely. Even worse the same thing happened on co.cc.
Either co.cc or any of your registered and paid domain names, Alexa didn’t rank them properly by its subdomain, but combining all traffic received from all sub domains.
There are several co.cc weaknesses……..
1. Cannot check your sites ranking on Alexa
I am very concerned about Alexa ranking so that I can see the progress of my blog. Since I use co.cc for one of my blogs, I was unable to see the Alexa ranking for this blog. This is because of Alexa only shows co.cc ranking itself and not my blog on co.cc. (more…)

The reason most blogs are not well known is because they stuff many information into one blog. To make a famous blog, we need to focus on one thing only that is also call niche blog. By making a niche blog, we can show to readers that we are really expert in that area and not just junk writing.
However, we need to know how to choose the right niche before decided to make any niche blog.
1. Find keyword relating to the niche:
Firstly, I will use Google Adwords Keyword to find the keyword with high hits per month. Then I will search at Google the keywords to find the overall results for the keyword. The overall results will symbolize how many your competitors. If the overall results are lower than 100 thousand, than the keyword is suitable to be optimize into niche blog. (more…)
