26 Feb 10 Blog with a Friendly Face – Part 9
A blog is considered a friend not only because it shares information with us, but because it shares it in a way that touches us personally. Like a friend, a good blog entertains us while telling us things that matter. It also cares for what we think and how we want it to behave with us. This is the theme for today’s post. Let’s begin exploring it.
Consistency is the key
Be consistent with what you write and what you support. Very few people can stand talking to a person who keeps on hopping from here to there, saying this and that, supporting him as well as him, and you will not like those very few people be part of your audience. Be consistence. Be true to your core, and say only what you mean.
Be the beacon and guide people
Do not hesitate in sharing your expertise with your audience. Share with them the knowledge you have acquired on the way to reaching here. They are going to like it. Write insightful posts, share things that matters to all. Be prolific. Write with grit. Write with gusto. Write for fun, and write to teach.
Picture gives the cue
Why a novel has a cover image or a blog post has a theme picture? Well to explain what the post is all about. Do not just use any picture, use the one that goes with the message you want to convey in the blog post. This will help you build rapport with your audience.
As they say it, picture speaks a thousand words.
I hope you have started to give shape to your blog in the light of what is being taught here. Share your link here, let’s see what you got. Waiting to hear from you.

07 Sep 09 SEO Simplified: What to Do to Rank in Google, Part – I
Should the god visit any SEO guy in this world, and ask him or her to make a wish; 99 out of 100 guys will wish to get ranked number 1 in Google. Not in Yahoo, not is MSN, and even not in Bing, cuil or whatever.
Why is it so?
Because Google is number one, and the power of Google can be interpreted from a simple fact that Google is no longer just a noun. It has transformed to take glorious shape of a verb. Yahoo didn’t become verb. We do not say, “Let’s yahoo this word.” But we say, “let’s Google it.”
That is the reason why, if one wish is granted to every SEO expert in this world, he or she will ask the god to take his or her page to the number one slot in Google. Taking a lead from this thought, I decided to build a mini-series that will run for three or four days, but it will tell you what Google asks from a website.
I will search, synthesize, and interpret the guidelines set by Google for next three or four days. I am doing this with a belief that our websites have a better chance to get ranked in Google, if we follow the guidelines set by the search engine in question.
I will at least cover the Design and content guidelines, Quality guidelines, and technical guidelines set by Google.
And as a parting word, I must say that when your website is ready, do not forget to submit it to Google, and Google directory. You should also install Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools to keep track data as well as to make sense of data gathered.
Last but not the least: do not forget to submit the XML Sitemap to Google using Google Webmaster Tools. See you tomorrow.
