When It Comes To Cash Gifting You Need To Blog Your Head Off However, on a more serious note, today, welcome.  Blogs are important.  If you are in "Cash Gifting" or are planning on being within a Cash Gifting Program sometime in the near future, it is important for you to take note of some the mistakes that take place within blogs. What a lot of Cash Gifter's do, after they've signed up with a particular blog, someplace, is put down links, in their content boxes, leading people straight to their Opt-In pages.  The Opt-in page is where people have to provide their information.  The place were the person has to provide their names and numbers to be more specific. Try to refrain from doing the exact same thing.  Give your readers content to read not links to click on when they first get acquainted with your blog site.  The first reason people are turned off by Opt-In pages, at first glance, is because a bond has not been formed with them, yet. If the reader feels no connection to the blog that they are reading, it is best that the blog, that they are reading, does this for them.  Giving things away for free is a form of bonding.  Readers of blogs tend to gravitate towards things that they can get for free.  However, the free item should carry some value.  A good eBook should do.  Get them something as it relates to Cash Gifting. Twitter is a great site to build "Cash Gifting Leads" on.  Twitter is considered a micro-blog, but a blog none-the-less.  You can connect your blog link onto Twitter for others to view.  Stray away from joining too many social sites.  What happens to a lot of people is that they first join up with Twitter. Then they join up with Google: Social Web Blog.  Then, not to far on down the line, they create themselves a FaceBook account.  It isn't the fact that their joining up with too many of them, it is the fact that they cannot participate, in all of them, like they'd wish.  Don't make the same mistake.  Stick with the Micro-blog or blog of your choice when your talking about your Gifting Program. Where you blog is really up to you.  The two most popular sites for blogging are Blogger and WordPress.  For those of you who aren't that familiar with CSS language, it is best that you use WordPress for your blog posts.  For those of you familiar with CSS, Blogger is the right fit for you. If you don't like either of these formats, and you think they are two difficult to work with, then BlinkWeb is something else to consider.  BlinkWeb's template is very simple to use.  Its drag-and-drop feature makes it a must for older computer users. You may be asking, "Why do all of this blogging? Couldn't I just make a lot of videos on YouTube for the "Cash Gifting Program" that I'm deciding to join?  Yes you can, but your viewers won't be, at all, serious.  What you want is people who are focused and willing to go the extra mile. The only way to get focused people to view your videos is by way of blogging.  Wait a few months on down the line before creating a video.  Get traffic, first.  Do the video's, second. "How should the design of my blog look?" you may be asking now.  That is very simple.  First, go to Alexa.com.  Type in the words "Gifting Program" into the search box.  Then you will see a list of sites come up.  Only look at the top five sites for designing purposes.  Next, go to Google and type in the words "Gifting Programs" into their search box. Again, only look at the top five sites of "Cash Gifting Programs".  You will notice, with both the Alexa and Google search results, that the top sites you have found have almost the same color patterns.  What you'll want to do with your blog, at best, is mimic the patterns, that you see, for your blog design.

Hey! Follow me on Twitter © 2009 All Rights Reserved Lionel Edwards of cashgiftinggroup Want To Be In ?  It Isn't What All Cash Gifter's Think About Any How If you want to be in, you've got to have some "Inbound Links" in order to be in!  It's the juice that gives you spruce.  If you are going to be in an online "Cash Gifting" activity, you've got to have them.  The "Cash Gifting Process" requires it.  It's not difficult to get them, but there is a little bit of a learning curve to earning them.  With out them you will lack some of the foundation needed in order to be successful in the "Gifting" world. Inbound links are links that you get when you comment on different individual blogs on the net.  You can get them in other ways too, but commenting on different blog sites is the most common way in receiving them.  Forums also offer the opportunity for you to receive inbound links but you've got to sign in, though. Whether you get an inbound link from a blog or forum, get it.  It is a form of marketing, if you really put it into perspective. Based upon the fact that you are getting free marketing from your online posts, from different blog sites, you are more apt to get many followers following you.  With your username in so many different places, online users will view you as a person who is really active and really involved in what you are doing. Since your interest is in Cash Gifting, post a comment on a blog that relates closely to Gifting.  They'll keep following you and your activities while you are doing all of this.  With all of this in place, you will get the opportunity to build a bigger and better relationship with them as time cycles on. With all of the above having been stated, you need to know what not to do when posting comments onto other sites that are blogs.  When you post your comments onto other blog sites, keep your comments relevant to the topic being spoken about.  Don't go off topic trying to talk about something else.  For example this post about inbound links. If someone comes with a "Cash Gifting Script" and starts talking about how their program is the "best cash gifting" program around, then it is likely to be deleted.  Remember, you are a contributor not a second hand journalist. An additional thing you don't want to do when posting comments into other blogs is put your link, to your site, into their comment boxes.  The person, who created the blog, may view this as a scheme to steal some of their traffic away from them.  Only the people who say, specifically, "You Can Put Your Links To Your Site Into My Comment Boxes", won't have a problem with you posting your link into their comment box. There are only a few blogs that will allow this.  So it would be advisable not to do this at all with any blog. Where you post your comments also is vital.  Before you post a comment to some place you need to know whether it is of good quality or not.  Good quality sites are, usually, those sites that have a lot of good inbound links pointing towards their sites. To find out the inbound links associated with that blog post you are about to comment on, just go to Google and type in, site:  www.their-site.com, into the search box.  You should see their inbound links come up. Yahoo! Site Explorer will do the same thing for you as well.  Just type the site into the search box with out the www with Yahoo! Now, not all blog sites, with a lot of inbound links, are good ones.  Do not worry about it if they have one or two bad inbound links.  When they have a bunch of bad inbound links from other commentators is when it is best to state to yourself, "No I am not going to comment on this blog post".  Next, check out how much traffic they have coming to their blog sites by way of Quantcast. If there is no traffic coming to their blog, there is no use in commenting on their blogs.  Just put their site into the Quantcast search box and you will see their results for traffic.  Quantcast sometimes has problems showing you the results from the search box end. So what you will want to do is go up to the URL and, after the URL, type in the  site just like you see it here [http://www.quantcast.com/www.their-site.com] to see their traffic flow.  You should see results of their traffic flow without a problem.  Keep in mind that Quantcast gives results on a per cycle basis.  So the results you may see maybe from an earlier cycle. Why not just pay for some inbound links, you may be thinking?  Well, to put it quite simply, it is not a good idea to do so.  Google, being the top search engine out there, frowns upon such a thing.  You, being a beginner, would be stung, in a very harsh way, for doing so by Google.  Just take heed, a second time, not to do this.  You will be thankful in the long run for not trying it out. How do you get your inbound links?  Has what you read made any sense to you that you can go out and create inbound links, for yourself, for your "cash gifting program"?  When you start your Cash Gifting Program, you'll have been glad that you read this.  You have potential and you will make it!  Just get yourself a good mentor, and get those inbound links, and then you will see success.
