Do you know of any sites with a step by step guide to building blogs. Fairly new to pc stuff need beguiners help ..thanks

You have to put your blog into search engines after creating. There is a web site, http://freewebsubmission.com/ , where you can submit your blog site / website to popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, Lycos, Windows Live Search (MSN) etc for free. But the priority of your site will be low, i.e., they will appear deep down the search (in about the 10th - 20th page etc.). So, in order to improve your site rating (make it appear in the top pages), you have to pay them.

Blogging has gone mainstream. It has reached a critical mass. Companies are starting to wake up to the mighty power of blogs and the heightened voice of the customer fueled by blogs. What HP has learned from blogging clearly validates this fact.

HP Commits A Blunder

Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) is a technology company that operates in more than 170 countries worldwide. It has also launched a blog program to further enable it to connect with customers and build beneficial long-term relationships. However, its blog program met a snag when one of its blogger, David Gee, head of worldwide marketing for HP’s management software business deleted a negative comment on his blog. It elicited a damaging backlash from the blogging community.

It all started when an HP customer posted a legitimate comment on David Gee’s blog about the not-so-good experience he had when he upgraded his media center personal computer. The comment was immediately erased and his HP passport (requirement to be able to leave comments) was revoked. Angered, he retorted by blogging about the incident. The tech blogging community, pretty tight and fast got wind of the news and a storm ensued. David Gee was taken to task and the comment was reinstated. He apologized and admitted that it was a humbling learning experience. He further reiterated that HP is making an all-out effort to maintain an honest and open dialogue with customers. They want to hear from the customers.

The incident has taught HP a valuable lesson in dealing with customer comments. Understanding that there are inherent risks involved in blogging, HP has developed a blogging policy and a set of guidelines for blogging responsibilities to mitigate these risks. Acknowledging that negative comments are inevitable, HP’s strategy is to politely respond further expounding the facts as the blogger sees them. Keeping the dialogue constructive and flowing forward instead of engaging in a useless and unfavorable debate will be standard policy.

Companies should realize that simply deleting critical comments can bring damaging repercussions if found out. For one, company credibility and reputation will suffer. Companies should think carefully how to handle negative or critical comments. Unlike an individual blogger, corporate bloggers are answerable to management, shareholders, fellow employees and most of all the customers.

Handling Negative Comments

Discussion and the ensuing commentaries are what makes blogging a different and exciting medium. Blogging, at its best, is a two way conversation. But getting negative or critical comments do happen in the blogosphere. When blogging publicly, offering opinions and views to the world, negative responses will occur. Some are just constructive criticisms but others can really be downright nasty. So, how does one deal with negative comments? Simply delete them?

Dealing with comments means identifying and handling inappropriate or off-topic comments. For a start, it helps to have a standard policy on comments and privacy. By allowing comments, readers should understand that the company will protect their privacy by not displaying or using their e-mail address, even if it might be required for making comments. General rules and guidelines on what will or will not be allowed on the corporate blog should be set. It is well-advised to have a Legal Policies page that summarizes all legal issues and stands displayed on the main site. This includes the Privacy Policies and Comment Policies. There are some corporate blogs that incite debates or attract controversy. It is wise to be clear on what the company will tolerate, say, name calling might not be allowed. The scope of topics, language, allegations, negative discourse, and arguments should all be clearly stated in the Comments Policy.

With a clear policy, it will be easier to handle a negative comment. If you (blogger) receive a negative comment, make sure you fully understand what is being said. It is easy to read something critical and hastily write a response that might not be as enlightening as it should be thereby causing more trouble. If the negative comment is on topic and calls for more discussion, provide the necessary information, do not delete it. Comments, good or bad, are good for business. Most businesses adhere to this adage. A negative comment gives you the opportunity to explain, persuade your readers and strengthen your stand about a certain issue. You will be surprised at the things you may discover about how readers perceive your products or services.

If you filter out negative comments, there is no true dialogue and thus no way to change the commenter’s mind about your product or service or his perception of your business as a whole. Use negative but legitimate comments as a medium to demonstrate how your company handles customer complaints or issues. Before responding, think long and hard. Consider you response carefully. Do take time to evaluate the best response that will benefit the customer and your company as well. Bear in mind that the purpose of your blog is to build and foster lasting relationships with your customers and to connect with potential customers as well. On the other hand, if a disparaging comment does not provide any help to the topic of the post, you can delete it.

You can get rid of comments you deem offensive. Offensive may mean different things to different people. To some, offensive may mean treating someone with irreverence or contempt while to others it may mean any comment that goes against their personal beliefs or blog content and purpose. Again, you decide.

If you feel the need to respond to a negative comment, respond kindly and show your willingness to understand. A negative comment can turn into something positive by making an effort to take in the point of view of the commenter.

Sometimes, you will get negative comments simply because you are wrong. Admit it and learn from it. You will earn the respect of your readers if you own up to your mistakes. You and your company’s credibility standing will even shoot up.

If you do not want negative comments to appear on your blog, you can always turn off the comments feature on your blog. The ball is in your hand.

Every engineer has a specific engineering knowledge as he graduated from university or college. When engineers work, their working experiences develop. Each of them has unique experiences, since they work in different organizations, different companies, and various industries.

Unfortunately, most of engineers do not realize the advantages they already have. Most of them do not like to compile their unique knowledge and experiences in form of writing. They just save their knowledge and experiences in their heads. If engineers want to write what they know and their experiences, they could share with other people, such like student, fresh engineers, or anyone else, who search everyday for such kind of information. Even many people would like to exchange their cash to get the information.

1. Do keywords research. Find out what keywords match with your blog’s topic. Do not use keywords for your blog that currently have 10,000,000 websites or blogs competitors.

Building a blog is not a quick-rich scheme business, but a long-term business that potentially will give you a good source of income as it grows.

Some people say that advertising is everything!

Regardless if you have a product, a service, a hobby website or
just want to share pictures of your wedding, you have to
advertise somehow to get the traffic to your site or blog.

But not all traffic is equal. There are services that can help
you drive tons and tons of traffic to your site and it won’t do
you any good at all because it’s not targeted traffic.

Take for example all of the many different ’surf for traffic’ or
‘traffic clicking’ programs that are out there. If you have a
website that is about your hobby, say model airplanes, then what
good is this traffic really going to do you? Who’s using these
services?

Webmasters and marketers that want traffic on their own site. So
they most likely won’t spend any more time on your page than is
required by the little timer these services use and then they
are gone again. Even if your site is about these traffic
services (this is about the only time you will see very much
benefit from using such a tool) you will still have to spend a
ton of time just surfing and clicking around to get a real
benefit from these programs. Once marketers realized this they
switched gears. They started promoting all the different
programs to a lot of other marketers to get them in their
downlines, so they could get some traffic as a bonus. This
became their new focus. The problem is that everyone else did
exactly the same thing, so not a lot of people were surfing the
internet anymore.

Bottom-line is this. You need targeted traffic. So here are some
tips on how you can generate exactly the traffic you need and
bring the visitors you want to your website without having to
chase after them.

1. Content

What is your website about? Do you just have a page with a lot
of links and not much else?

If this is the case, think about adding some content to your
website that will be of value to any potential visitors. You
could write articles or find articles at one of the many
directories that you can reprint on your site.

2. Talk about your experiences in your subject matter.

You don’t have to put up some kind of resume (although that can
work too), but rather try writing about what you are doing, as
it relates to your topic of choice. Let’s look at the model
airplanes again briefly, you could talk or write about the
latest plane type you built, how the last time flying your plane
went, what challenges you run into or perhaps even post some
pictures of your plane or of you flying it.

3. Forums and bulletin boards.

You could add a forum or bulletin board to your website where
your visitors can interact with each other. There are a lot of
free services available out there that you can use to either
remotely host a forum for you, or even software you can install
on your website’s server. To find some of these, just head over
to your favorite search engine and you will definitely find
plenty to choose from.

And while you are visiting the search engine, why not run a
search for any bulletin boards and forums that are already out
there for your chosen topic? You could visit those and interact
with the visitors there and since many allow you to post a
signature or a profile, you could add a little line about your
own site with a link (just check the rules of the forum first so
you don’t violate any of them).

4. Start a blog.

Blogs are very popular and search engines love them because they
provide constantly new and fresh content. Your blog would be a
great place to talk about what you are up to that day. So if you
spent some time today buying new parts for your plane you could
write about where you found them, how much they cost you, why
you chose those parts, anything really goes.

The really great part about this is that you can point links
from your blog back to your website, so when the search engine
stops by to grab and index your latest content, it will also
stop by your website and you will start seeing very targeted
traffic heading your way.

5. Write articles.

Writing articles isn’t hard and can be a great source of fresh,
new traffic to your website. There are a lot of ezines on any
topic out there and there are also a lot of directories where
you can share your article.

Basically, what you do is write an article and then add a small
resource box that links back to your website (just like a
signature) and then let other ezine publishers know that you are
allowing them to print your article in their ezine. And many
publishers go to the article directories to find new content for
their newsletter and even their websites. And since there are
websites and ezine newsletters on any imaginable topic out
there, you can’t lose. Write an article every couple of days and
post it in the directories (even one a week or every two weeks
will start getting you traffic). Very soon you will find new
traffic coming from search engines, newsletters and websites.

Best of all, these 5 simple tips will bring targeted traffic,
meaning the visitors are coming to you because they are
interested in what you wrote.

So there you have it, 5 easy and simple ways to advertise and
drive traffic to your website at absolutely no cost
