FTP and Custom Domains ; Advantages of Custom Domains Over FTP

First off, what is a Custom Domain? If you own a domain, we can host your blog at your domain instead of hosting at yourblog.blogspot.com. Unlike FTP, where you transfer the blog's files to a webserver hosted elsewhere, Google actually hosts the blog on our servers. So why would you want to start using a Custom Domain over FTP? When Blogger released Custom Domains a couple years ago, we pointed out a couple obvious advantages:

1) Simple setup.
2) Faster publishing. You no longer wait for files to transfer to your remote host; as soon as you click publish, the post is available and all archive pages are updated.
3) Drag and drop template editing. Blogger's newer templates offer you a lot more in terms of customization, and make designing your page a much simpler process.
4) Access control. You can restrict access to your blog when we host it; there's no way to do this natively within Blogger (though your webhost may offer a way to do this separately).

In light of the recent experiences with FTP, here's two more:

5) Fewer moving parts. As I've dug in over the last few weeks on issues relating to FTP, as often as not the problems were not Blogger-related but were a byproduct of a webhost implementing stricter security on FTP logins (only whitelisting certain IP addresses, for instance, or throttling access for certain users). These are notoriously hard to isolate, particularly when they involve coordinating support with a third party. No one - including us! - enjoys the terrible back and forth of "it's the webhost's issue" "no, it's Blogger's issue" "no, we're pretty sure it's the webhost's issue" when all you want is to be able to post to your blog.
6) Free, scalable hosting. Google knows a thing or two about hosting content around the world, and by relying on Blogger for hosting you're getting the advantage of a robust hosting environment - for free!

Mario Teguh Will Close his Account in twitter

For TV lovers, especially Metro TV will familiar with master motivator who's named Mario Teguh Golden Ways. Though currently his planning Mario Teguh to close his account his twitter , but I'm sure, a strong mario remains a favorite motivator affairs.

Once upon a time Mario Teguh explain the meaning of success and how to build self-motivation. By using polite language and the words easily understood, making it easy explanation for the absorption and accepted.

This is a bit of a summary of the explanation of the Golden mario firm Ways:

50-year journey of life I've lived it concluded that success does not always mean getting trophies or praise, though there's nothing wrong if we get both. It's just not a criteria that all of the success itself. Therefore often difficult to find someone then-success of success ever achieved.

Simply success is how we get out of our comfort zone and try to be better than before. With this definition you will see so much success that you can see in yourself. If yesterday you could just help one person, these days you can help the two, and tomorrow you can help even more, then you succeed. With a positive feeling about the success you've achieved, then you will feel more successful and more confident with the ideals, vision and mission of your life.

I strongly disagree with the phrase, "Let us now difficult, if we'll succeed". This was clearly never going to succeed enggak. I asked, where the steps? Was not to big success must begin with little success and were?. There's a saying, "Success will give birth to another success." So from this proverb may be taken a lesson, if we are the easier it is to see our successes of the things small, it is easy for us to collect, accumulate and stepped achieve success greater. Believe dech, with little success that, sooner or later, greater success will come to you.

Selecting Affiliate Marketing Opportunities

Affiliate marketing is one way in which bloggers utilize their blog to generate revenue. The amount of revenue generated by a blog featuring affiliate marketing links may vary significantly depending on the amount of traffic the blog receives as well as the compensation offered for the affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing essentially entails creating a link on the blog to another company’s website. The other company then compensates the blog owner according to a previously agreed upon contract. This compensation may be awarded in a number of different ways. The blog owner may be compensated each time the advertisement is served, each time a unique website visitor clicks through the advertisement or each time a blog visitor performs a desired action such as making a purchase or registering with the website. This article will discuss some aspects of affiliate marketing which bloggers should understand including selecting opportunities carefully, maximizing the income potential for these opportunities and understanding the requirements associated with these affiliate marketing opportunities.

Selecting Affiliate Marketing Opportunities

There is a wide variety of affiliate marketing opportunities available. Many different companies and websites offer affiliate marketing opportunities. In most cases the blog owner simply needs to submit the website address of his blog along with some other basic information for approval. In most cases the company is not likely to reject the application unless the content of the website is deemed to be objectionable or otherwise in conflict of interest with the company’s goals. However, although getting approved to display affiliate links on your website is a rather simple process, this does not mean blog owners should select these affiliate marketing opportunities without discretion. It is a far better idea to carefully select affiliate marketing opportunities with companies who are of interest to the target audience of the blog.

Poor that are richer than the rich

In modern world depression is something as common as having a headache or a hangover after a rough night out, but only few people realize how serious this problem really is. Try to find a person who has never shown signs of depression and you will realize that it's almost impossible. Almost, but not definitely. Recent studies have shown that there is a group of people in the modern world who don't even know what depression is all about. And surprisingly, these people are generally very poor and far from what most people would consider as good wellbeing.

While this statement will seem ridiculous to most of us, this is true and can be proven even using simple logics. You won't see a poor man or woman worrying about their lost success, or craving for a new car they want to get so bad. The only thing they worry about is getting food and having a place to spend a cold night. These people are free from aspirations and stresses most middle and upper class individuals have to deal with. If put simple, poor people are in a dream-like state of full mental harmony with their physiological needs. They aren't troubled by their spiritual or emotional desires, they aren't troubled by things others might think or say about them. Of course, living below the line of poverty has its stresses and burdens but they are always stripped down to simple bodily needs. No psychological worries, no stress, no depression.

In contrast, you will find the majority of extremely rich and upper class individual taking Xanax, Prozac or Valium to calm down and get them through. Having much money or being in the spotlight has its price tag, which usually comes in the form of certain limits, responsibilities and things to worry about. People from middle and upper classes pay too much attention to they way others see them and this alone is a rich source of mental stress. And what happens when something goes slightly wrong? A homeless individual won't bother if his or her new Bentley gets stolen, because they don't have it. A rich mogul will hire dozens of professionals to protect his private house and spend hours (and tons of valium)on worrying about the latest news from stock exchange. And isn't it ironic that in such a situation the poor are actually richer than the rich, if you know from what point of view to look?

Type 3 for Opting Online Articles

One way to increase traffic to our blog is to make a lot of content searchable through the search engine netter. After a walk from one blog to another blog, I see there are various tips to increase blog traffic by type of articles posted.
Articles about what it? I have to say the following three types of articles that I have found a strategy to improve traffic blogger his blog.
If you already applied, thanks for sharing here.

(First, articles that are Hot When It's)

The first can make an article that was 'hot'. By raising the topic of things that were discussed during this busy, can bring visitors in abundance. (up in droves instead)
I found this on the blogs that write about the issue of Manohara Pinot, Mother Prita Mulyasari with the case of his Omni Hospital, or in the articles about the 2009 General Election, voting to Ambalat conflict.
You often see her own right? Lots of blogs to raise the issue and Mother Manohara Pinot Prita Mulyasari very crowded?
The weakness of the election posting topics about current issues is the first topic did not last long. It could be just a few days a very crowded canopies, but then after the issue began to subside, read the other day seemed stale. Iya ngga?
The solution, yes .. look for other recent issues hehe, must update continues.
Second, subjective nih; is less suitable for blogs with specific topics such as blogging about my blog, for example. not connect 'it, when suddenly I write about Manohara Pinot or mulyasari prita mother?
For the first type of posting is more appropriate for news or gossip blog, or also for personal blogs that want to tell anything.

(Second, article 'Bad' that smelled of Pornography, etc..)

The second, by making bad posts by targeting specific keywords that are pornographic. Know is, such topics are very popular ..
But this is not recommended hell, the 'you want to write post-post like this? About adult stories, adult stories hot naked girls pictures, etc.. so?
Although, not a blogger who also writes on this topic with a play style just to chase traffic, which is important keywordnya, 'a story for adults', 'hot adult story', 'pictures naked girls', and .. traffic will come by itself.
Often you also find it is like this?

(Third, the article 'Long Lasting' based on keywords that are highly sought)

Then the third, making the posting that in a long time was always much sought after by netter. Posting-posting of tutorials, or tips; can about health tips, blog tips, beauty tips, or other topics that are sought after by keyword.
How to know what are sought after by netter on search engines? You can use the keyword tracker
Live search keywords / topics that match your blog topic, get the various other keyword suggestion along with the number of searches, and make posts that contain keywords that target.
In other words we provide clear information much needed.
This third type which I will try in the post-post to the front. The result? Untested .. but if you can win a position on search engines, I would have brought many visitors and much traffic
