Just lately the term ‘blogging voice’ seems to be popping up everywhere. What on earth does it mean?
A new technology? Audio blogging?
Actually no. It’s much simpler than that in concept, but quite tough to get in practice.
But you do need to get it, because it forms part of your branding.

Job hunting in a recession…
I saw an interesting question today: can a blog replace a resume?
My answer was ‘Yes’. If not a blog then a managed web presence not only can, but should replace a resume (especially if you’re environmentally conscious).

Do you still look for No Follow blogs to comment on or link to? If you do you’re wasting time and losing traffic.
I’ve written many times now, here and here for starters, on why it’s important to write for people, not [...]

Last week my free traffic post focused on Traffic Exchanges, so in my usual style I’ve gone out trolling around the net to see what others are saying.

Do you ever land on a blog post from somewhere – could be a search or a link someone has given you – read the post and think ‘Hey – that was great information…’? You may even book mark it so you can go back later or pass the link on to a friend.

MyBlogLog is a community of bloggers. It’s a great source of targetted visitor traffic, because not only can you add your keywords to your profile (the keywords you want people to find you with), but you can tell your profile viewers what your blog is about in your introduction and use RSS to pull [...]

I saw a question in the Warrior Forum yesterday that asked whether it would be better to promote a product via a blog or via affiliate marketing.
The answer, of course, is why not do both?
As far as promoting a product through a blog goes there are some things to keep in mind:
Blogs, by their nature, [...]

Q: With all the big, easy-to-use, function-rich, free blogging services that are available why should you go to the trouble of hosting your own blog..?
A: Better SEO, total control, more traffic and more sales – although those reasons won’t apply if you’re not blogging for business!
When I started out blogging I opened a blogger.com account. [...]
