sebelum melakukan tutorial dibwah ini, ada 2 pertanyaan yg harus dijawab secara pribadi :
1. apakah data penting tersebut akan dibiarkan didalam flashdisk yang tidaa bisa digunakan lagi (pada akhirnya akan dibuang bersama data yang ada didalamnya)
2. memformat flashdisk biar bisa digunakan lagi meskipun data2 yang sebelumnya ikut hilang..?




Saat flash disk tertancap di komputer win XP, sedang dipakai namun tiba-tiba windows hank alias frozen. Setelah komputer di booting paksa dan di hidupkan lagi, ternyata flash disk yang tertancap tadi mati. Falsh disk tidak bisa bekerja lagi. Windows mendeteksi kapasitasnya 0 MB dan mengeluarkan pesan untuk memformatnya. Dicoba untuk di format gagal juga. Akhirnya gak terpakai lagi Flash disk

Kalau memang kasus seperti ini yang di alami terhadap kerusakan flash disk jangan khawatir kita masih bisa coba untuk menyelamatkan dan menghidupkanya lagi. Berikut ini langkah-langkah untuk memperbaikinya:

1. Softawre yang kita perlukan untuk keperluan ini adalah HP Drive Boot Utility (buatan HP namun jangan khawatir ternyata bisa kita gunakan untuk merek yang lainya bahkan untuk memory camera juga bisa). Download Disini.

2. Setelah di download, jalankan/ install dan pilih drive untuk falsh disk yang akan diperbaiki.

3. Pilih tipe format disk yang mau di gunakan (FAT, FAT32 atau NTFS)

4. Pilih Quick Format

5. Kemudian pilih start untuk memulainya.

Semoga Berhasil

8. Kompres Data

Tutorial singkat ini cocok sekali buat Anda yang sedang membuat jaringan komputer ‘MURAH’ khususnya yang terdiri lebih dari dua client yang pake hub (jauh lebih murah daripada router ). To the point! Apa sih kabel UTP itu? Kabel UTP itu adalah kabel khusus buat transmisi data. UTP, singkatan dari “Unshielded Twisted Pair”. Disebut unshielded karena kurang tahan terhadap interferensi elektromagnetik. Dan disebut twisted pair karena di dalamnya terdapat pasangan kabel yang disusun spiral alias saling berlilitan. Ada 5 kategori kabel UTP. Dari kategori 1 sampai kategori 5. Untuk jaringan komputer yang terkenal adalah kategori 3 dan kategori 5.

Kategori 3 bisa untuk transmisi data sampai 10 mbps, sedang kategori 5 sampai 100 mbps. Kalau hanya buat misalnya jaringan komputer di kantor atau kampus atau warnet, paling hemat ya menggunakan yang kategori 3. Itu sudah lebih dari cukup.Setahu penulis ada banyak merek yang beredar di pasaran, hanya saja yang terkenal bandel dan relatif murah adalah merek Belden – made in USA. Kalau mau yang lebih murah dan penggunaannya banyak, maka beli saja yang satu kotak, panjangnya sekitar 150 meter. Jangan lupa beli konektornya. Konektornya bentuknya seperti colokan telepon hanya saja lebih besar. Bilang saja mau beli konektor RJ-45.

Foto RJ – 45 yang masih baru, belum di gencet pake tang

Satu lagi yang sangat penting, Anda harus punya tang khusus buat memasang konektor ke kabel UTP, istilah kerennya adalah “crimp tool”. Alat ini gunanya untuk ‘mematikan’ atau ‘menanam’ konektor ke kabel UTP. Jadi sekali sudah di ‘tang’, maka sudah tidak bisa dicopot lagi konektornya. Dan kalau mau yang lebih OK, biar tidak nanggung maka beli pula sebuah LAN tester. Anda bisa membeli yang merek dari Taiwan saja agar lebih murah. Bentuknya seperti kotak dan ada lampu LED-nya delapan pasang dan bisa kedap-kedip.

OK sekarang peralatan udah siap, penulis mulai saja. Secara umum, pemasangan kabel UTP tersebut ada dua tipe, yaitu tipe straight dan tipe cross. Disebut tipe straight soalnya masing-masing kabel yang jumlahnya 8 itu berkorespondensi 1-1, langsung. Sedangkan disebut cross soalnya ada persilangan pada susunan kabelnya. Bingung?OK! Untuk tipe straight itu digunakan untuk menyambungkan kabel dari client ke hub. Sedangkan untuk tipe cross adalah untuk client langsung terhubung ke client (cpu to cpu) atau juga dari hub ke hub.

Kita bahas dulu yang tipe straight

Tipe ini adalah yang paling gampang dibuat. Kenapa? Soalnya langsung korespondensinya 1-1. Standar urutannya begini (dilihat dari lubang konektor, dari kiri ke kanan – lihat Gambar 4) : 2 oranye – 1 hijau – 2 biru – 1 hijau – 2 coklat . 2 oranye disini maksudnya pasangan oranye muda sama oranye tua dan seterusnya. Tapi tidak usah ikut standar pewarnaan itu juga sebenarnya tidak masalah. Yang penting urutan kabelnya. Misal ujung pertama urutan pin pertamanya oranye muda, maka ujung yang lain urutan pin pertamanya juga harus oranye muda, jadi antar ujung saling nyambung. Sebenarnya tidak semua pin tersebut digunakan.

Yang penting adalah pin nomor 1,2,3 dan 6. Jadi misal yang disambung hanya pin 1,2,3 dan 6 sedangkan pin yang lain tidak dipasang, tidak jadi masalah. Untuk lebih jelasnya silakan lihat gambar di bawah yang penulis foto dari sebuah buku.

Yang kiri urutan korespondensi buat tipe straight, yang kanan yang cross

Waktu akan memasangnya, maka potong ujung kabelnya, kemudian susun kabelnya trus diratakan dengan pisau potong yang ada pada crimp tool. Andak tidak perlu repot harus melepaskan isolasi pada bagian ujung kabel, karena waktu Anda memasukan kabel itu ke konektor lalu ditekan (pressed) dengan menggunakan crimp tool, sebenarnya saat itu pin yang ada di konektor menembus sampai ke dalam kabel. Perhatikan, agar penekannya (pressing) yang keras, soalnya kalau tidak keras kadang pin tersebut tidak tembus ke dalam isolasi kabelnya. Kalau sudah kemudian Anda test menggunakan LAN tester. Masukkan ujung ujung kabel ke alatnya, kemudian nyalakan, kalau lampu led yang pada LAN tester menyala semua, dari nomor 1 sampai 8 berarti Anda telah sukses. Kalau ada salah satu yang tidak menyala berarti kemungkinan pada pin nomor tersebut ada masalah. Cara paling mudah yaitu Anda tekan (press) lagi menggunakan tang. Kemungkinan pinnya belum tembus. Kalau sudah Anda tekan tetapi masih tidak nyambung, maka coba periksa korespondensinya antar pin udah 1-1 atau belum. Kalau ternyata sudah benar dan masih gagal, berarti memang Anda belum beruntung. Ulangi lagi sampai berhasil.

LAN TESTER – alat untuk memeriksa benar tidaknya sambungan kabel. Untuk tipe straight jika benar maka led 1 sampai 8 berkedip.

Berikut adalah gambar dari bawah dari ujung kabel UTP yang sudah dipasangi konektor dan berhasil dengan baik (urutan pewarnaan pinnya ikut standar):

urutan pin standar

Dan kalau yang ini tidak standar, coba perhatikan urutan warna pinnya, sangat tidak standar, tapi tetap saja bisa, yang penting korespondensinya satu satu (khusus tipe straight):

urutan pin TIDAK standar

Tipe Cross

Untuk tipe cross itu digunakan untuk menyambungkan langsung antar dua PC, atau yang umumnya digunakan untuk menyambungkan antar hub. (misalnya karena colokan di hubnya kurang). Cara pemasangannya juga sebenarnya mudah, sama seperti tipe straight, pin yang digunakan juga sebenarnya hanya 4 pin saja, yaitu pin 1, 2, 3 dan 6. Yang berbeda adalah cara pasangnya. Kalau pada tipe cross, pin 1 disambungkan ke pin 3 ujung yang lain, pin 2 ke 6, pin 3 ke 1 dan pin 6 ke 2. Praktisnya begini, pada ujung pertama Anda bisa susun pinnya sesuai standar untuk yang tipe “straight”, sementara itu di ujung yang lain Anda susun pinnya sesuai standar buat tipe “cross”.Masih bingung? Begini cara mudahnya:Ujung pertama:

1. oranye muda
2. oranye tua
3. hijau muda
4. biru muda
5. biru tua
6. hijau tua
7. coklat muda
8. coklat tua

Maka di ujung yang lain harus dibuat begini:

1. hijau muda
2. hijau tua
3. orange muda
4. biru muda
5. biru tua
6. orange tua
7. coklat muda
8. coklat tua

Sudah agak lebih mengerti? Jadi disini posisi nomor 1, 2, 3 dan 6 yang ditukar. Nanti jika dites menggunakan LAN tester, maka nantinya led 1, 2, 3 dan 6 akan saling bertukar. Kalau tipe straight menyalanya urutan, sedangkan tipe cross ada yang lompat-lompat. Tapi yang pasti harus menyalasemua setiap led dari nomor 1 sampai 8.OK, selamat membangun jaringan komputer. Semoga Anda bisa berhasil sewaktu memasang konektor pada kabelnya. Semoga ilmu ini berguna buat Anda, soalnya waktu dulu penulis pertama kali membuat jaringan hasilnya lucu sekali, untuk mengupas kabelnya penulis masih menggunakan cutter, padahal sudah ada fasilitasnya di crimp toolnya. Tambah lagi ujung-ujungnya tiap kabel penulis kelupas lagi menggunakan cutter, padahal yang betul tidak perlu dikupas satu-satu, biarkan saja rata, karena nantinya apabila di ‘crimp tool’ maka pin tersebut masing-masing akan tembus ke dalam kabelnya. Semoga Anda tidak melakukan hal sama seperti penulis dulu.Demikian tulisan mengenai cara membuat sambungan kabel UTP untuk jaringan komputer. Semoga berguna bagi Anda semua. Terima kasih.

1. Persiapan

Login dari level user biasa ke root, disarankan jangan menjalankan command "su" secara langsung. Biasakan untuk selalu mengetik command tersebut langsung dari nama path-nya, yaitu "/bin/su". Dengan mengetik full pathname, berarti anda menjalankan program su langsung dari sumbernya. Metode ini sangat penting guna memproteksi passwd Superuser dari penyadapan program2 Trojan Horse. Selanjutnya masuk ke direktory temporari tempat biasanya anda meng-install tool-tool. Saya biasanya meletakkan di /tmp/installer, lalu download dan compile tool tersebut.

-Disini kita akan melakukan perubahan sedikit path pada file configure karena pada configurasi default sama sekali logging iptables tidak akan ter-log.

/usr/local/sbin/ulogd <== file executie

/usr/local/etc/ulogd.conf <== file konfigurasi

-

-

Compile Source nya

/etc/ulogd.conf <== file konfigurasi

Lihat apakah ulogd anda sudah berjalan

-

Agar dapat dijalankan setiap mesin anda booting maka dapat ditambahkan di rc.local

Kalau Anda merasa bosan dengan icon-icon yang “biasa” tersebut, Anda bisa menggantinya dengan icon yang lain, baik icon bawaan program tersebut atau icon lain yang bisa Anda download secara gratis dari internet.

Untuk mengganti icon caranya sebagai berikut:

• Buka Windows Explorer
• Klik menu Tools - Folder Options
• Pindah ke tab File Types
• Pilih tipe file yang akan diganti iconnya. Misalnya Anda ingin mengganti icon file dengan ekstensi .txt (Text Document).
• Klik tombol Advanced. Pada kotak dialog seperti di bawah ini, klik tombol Change Icon
  .
• Anda dapat memilih salah satu icon dari banyak icon yang secara default sudah disediakan oleh Windows (pada file shell32.dll). Kalau Anda ingin mengganti dengan file icon yang lain, Anda bisa mengklik tombol Browse.
• Kalau Anda belum punya koleksi icon-icon yang menarik, Anda bisa mencarinya di internet menggunakan search engine Google. Gunakan kata kunci “free icons”.

Kali ini saya akan mencoba membahas mengenai cara instalasi StacksDocklets pada RocketDock kita.
StacksDocklets adalah sebuah docklet (aplikasi tambahan pada RocketDock), yang berfungsi untuk mengelompokkan suatu kelompok shortcut (icon-icon yang ada di desktop), dan diwakili oleh satu icon stack. Icon stack ini kemudian akan memunculkan semua shortcut yang “tersimpan” di dalamnya dengan efek yang cantik.

Karena itu, selain dari sisi keindahan, docklet ini juga berguna untuk “membersihkan” desktop kita dari shortcut yang terlampau banyak, atau sekedar mempermudah navigasi dalam desktop kita.

Karena StacksDocklet adalah “dockletnya” RocketDock, maka kita harus sudah menginstal RocketDock terlebih dahulu. Sesudah instalasi dan melakukan pengaturan awal, sekarang kita akan menambah aplikasi stack docklet di dock kita.

Pertama-tama, download docklet tambahan “Stacks Docklet” dari LINK INI.

Sesudah itu, unzip stackdocklet tersebut lalu copy folder tersebut ke
C:\Program Files (x86)\RocketDock\Docklets\
(Untuk XP: C:\Program Files \RocketDock\Docklets\) :

Kemudian klik kanan pada RocketDock - Add Item - Stack Docklet


Jika langkah yang dijalankan sudah benar, maka seharusnya icon Stacks Docklet sudah tertera di dock:

Sudah ada?Oke.. sekarang kita beralih ke Desktop kita.

Buat beberapa folder sesuai kriteria yang kita inginkan untuk Stack Docklet. Misalnya kita ingin ada 3 grup yaitu Multimedia, Aplikasi, Dan Maintenance, maka kita buat 3 folder untuk masing-masing grup. Buat folder tersebut dengan cara klik kanan pada desktop lalu pilih New -> Folder, kemudian beri nama masing-masing.

Selanjutnya, pilih shortcut-shortcut yang sesuai dengan kriteria kita dengan cara menahan tombol “Control” (Di bagian bawah keyboard dengan tulisan “Ctrl”), lalu arahkan ke folder yang sesuai dengan menahan tombol kiri mouse untuk memindahkannya ke folder yang kita inginkan.

Catatan: Jangan meng-copy icon My Computer, Recycle Bin, atau Bluetooth (jika ada). Hal ini akan mengakibatkan icon yang anda pindahkan ke folder tadi akan tetap ada di desktop, tetapi tetap ter-copy di folder baru tadi.

Sesudah itu, agar memudahkan kita, buat satu folder di My Documents (atau Documents pada Vista), lalu beri nama “Shortcuts”. Kemudian copy ke-tiga folder tadi di folder “Shortcuts” tersebut. Jika folder sudah dicopy, hapus ketiga folder yang ada di desktop tadi agar desktop kita bersih dari icon shortcut. :)

Jika anda benar-benar ingin “membersihkan” desktop anda dari icon-icon yang ada, bisa dilakukan dengan cara klik kanan pada deskto - Pilih View - kemudian pilih “Show Desktop Icons” untuk menghilangkan checklistnya.

Nah, sekarang untuk pengaturan Stacks Dockletnya. Karena tadi kita membuat 3 grup shortcut, berarti kita juga memerlukan 3 buah stack docklet di dock kita. Tambahkan stack docklet seperti cara yang sudah ditulis di atas.

Klik kanan pada Icon Stack Docklet, kemudian pilih “Icon Settings”. Setelah itu, pada kolom folder pilih kotak bagian kanan berisi titik (…), untuk mencari folder tempat kita menaruh folder shortcut yang sudah kita buat tadi.

Kemudian, lakukan hal yang sama untuk bagian “Icon”. Hanya kali ini, yang kita browse/cari adalah tempat dimana kita menaruh icon. Rocketdock sendiri sudah menyediakan icon bawaan untuk dipilih. Namun jika anda menginginkan icon yang lain, bisa dilakukan dengan cara menekan tanda plus (+), lalu cari folder tempat menyimpan icon-icon tersebut.

Pengaturan terakhir stack docklet bisa dilakukan dengan memilih opsi “nyembul” apakah Fan, Grid, atau Automatic.

Pilih “Fan” untuk efek “nyembul” seperti kipas (catatan: Jumlah shortcut tidak boleh terlalu banyak, karena nantinya tidak akan tampil semua.

Pilih “Grid” untuk tampilan baris dalam sebuah box.

Atau “Automatic” untuk membiarkan RocketDock memilih settingan mana yang paling bagus untuk grup stackdocklet tersebut. Dengan settingan ini, grup yang memiliki shortcut dengan jumlah banyak akan otomatis memiliki settingan “Grid”.

I don’t claim to be an seo expert but I know some technique on how to rank a site into the first page of Google for a chosen keyword.

One time I decided to visit Digital Point Forum when I saw this post from a forum member, he is challenging any seo especialist who can get his blog on the first page of Google in just a month for the keyword Muslim Blog and he will pay 500$.

I told him that I want to try and ask him the url of his blog. I found out later that there are five of us who took the challenge. So I ask him if how he can determine the winner, he told me that he will be updated and proof will be shown. Everything is not clear to me yet but I want to do an experiment, I want to test if some of my seo technique is still working.

I checked his blog, its title tag is “Life is about Believing” with very few muslim and blog keyword on the body. I ask my self if it is possible to get this blog on the first page of Google for the keyword Muslim Blog in just a month time. From what I know the reason why Adobe.com is no.1 for the keyword “click here” because there are a lot of links with an anchor text “click here” that is pointing to Adobe.com and it was achieved not in single month I’m sure. Our website condosphilippines.com is currently no.1 in Google for our target keyword “philippine condominium” and philippine condominiums” because I put those keywords in the title tag.

Anyway, I just want to do an experiment. I made a blog and told him that all my activities will be posted there. I linked his blog to some of my blogs, submitted to some bookmarking sites and put a link in my forum signature in DP. After a week I checked his blog on the serps, it’s still not moving, then later on I decided to quit.

But he sent me this private message, he’s asking me to pursue since the other four already quited. He’s giving me the whole May to have his site on the first page of Google and promised to pay me 500$ if I can do the job.

I accepted his request but I told him to put a “muslim blog” keyword in the title tag, meta description and in the footer. He told me that he does not know how to do it so I made a PDF tutorial and sent it to him, then I started to do off page optimization again.

May 14, his blog was already on the first page of Google Uk and Google world. I sent him a message about it but for two weeks I did not received any reply from him. So I decided to stop working at it since I’m not sure if I will be paid. The blog drop to page 2 then I received a message from him and he told me that his blog is not on the first page but two. I gave him the link of the screenshot, the proof that I was able to have his blog on the first page of Google. I told him that I already worked hard for his blog and I could have it back on the first page again but I ask him to pay me first even half of the agreed 500$. He promised to pay me in June, I waited but nothing came.

He asked me before to give him advice on how to maintain his ranking, I told him that he should update his blog not only once every month but daily if possible and this is what he is doing. Now the blog is back on the first page again in Google, I sent him a message if I don’t deserve the reward. I told him that I waited for his payment but nothing came.

He did not reply to me so I started a thread on Digital Point asking for advice on what to do. He replied on the forum and he said I did not do the job but he is the one who did it, he said he blog all day and night and join forums. I told him that my job has been done for his Blog, the contract is to have his blog on the first page of Google in May and I did it but he told me he was away at that time.

He promised to pay me 250$ next month, he said that I only contributed a little to his Blog so 250$ is enough. I I told him that I’ll accept that 250 and ask him if it is possible to pay me first week of October. I have not received any reply from him. Somebody is advising me to report it to Ripoff Report.com but I will still give him another chance, let’s wait and see.

10. Write at least five major “pillar” articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good “how-to” lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don”t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that’’s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger’’s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it’’s sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it’’s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it’’s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it’’s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your “Resource Box”. You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it’’s certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.

This article was by Yaro Starak, a professional blogger and my blog mentor. He is the leader of the Blog Mastermind mentoring program designed to teach bloggers how to earn a full time income blogging part time.

Blog marketing is not all that hard if you know what you are doing. However, if this is your very first blog and you are wondering how to get readers to it then you are in the right place. First let me just say that marketing your blog is going to require patience, and being consistent. You will have to update your blog frequently if you want to keep readers coming back for more. We are all guilty of making a blog, wanting it to be great, putting only one entry into it and then never going back to update it again. I think everyone in cyber world has done this at one time or another. Here are some great tips to use when trying to get your blog out there and get new readers.

Make sure that your blog has the track back feature. Let me tell you why. When you have the track back feature on your blog, you are allowing other people to link to your blog. Maybe someone has a post to post on their blog that is relevant to one of yours. They can use the talkback to your post, and send their readers to your blog so that they know what they are referring to. Another good thing to remember is that if someone gives you a track back, it is a courtesy to return that to their blog if at all possible.

Having a Google account and submitting a sitemap is almost a must when you are blog marketing. Doing so will allow Google to know how often you are updating your blog and they will automatically know of any changes that you have made to it as well. This will let Google get those new pages indexed faster and get them into search results much quicker than if you did not have the sitemap. There is a certain way you have to do the sitemap for Google, and they can explain that to you. Just know this is an important step to blog marketing.

Exchanging links with authority blogs and websites that are in your same market is another great way to get the word out about your blog. The authority sites are going to have a higher page rank, and will also be listed high in Google?s search results. So do some searches and check those out and see if they are up to exchanging links. If they are not, you could always just add those into your blogroll. You do not need permission to do that if they are not into linking. However, in the world of blogs, most blog owners are thankful for all links, and are willing to return the favor.

You are going to want to be sure that all of your posts are formatted. Doing so will leave out any confusion for the search engines and you will have everything nice and neat and all organized. The label tags are there for a reason when you are dealing with blogs. So using them and not leaving them out is a great idea.

Tracking is another part of blog marketing that is so very important. You want to be able to track your visitors and clickers to know where they are coming from. You want to be able to tell what keywords they searched on to find your blog and where they did their searching. Doing so will help take out all of the guess work when it comes to blog marketing. You will know what keywords are working, and which are not.

Allowing RSS feeds from your blog is also another great blog marketing tool. You are going to find that when you allow RSS feeds, your blog is going to end up all over the internet with a link back to it and that is a good thing. This is a wonderful way to get links to your blog with little or no effort. People that subscribe to your blog?s RSS feeds are able to then post your blog posts on their sites or blogs. Which in return gives you a link on their site or page that they have you on.

Blog marketing is only as hard as you make it. Use these tips and get your blog out there and seen today!
