http://bit.ly/2umN6Dg Wordpress security isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the Wordpress platform is it ?Let’s face it, Wordpress is pegged to be “the place” to start if you want to create a blog which means that there are different levels of knowledge that come to this platform as people begin to develop their blogs. That sounds pretty reasonable when you consider that of all the millions of blogs online that have been constructed.. nearly 25% of them exist through Wordpress.Beyond that staggering fact.. there are the newbies, the intermediate crowd and the advanced Wordpress operators.In reflecting on that for a moment.. which were you when you started a blog or even better yet, which are you now if you haven’t started a website just yet, but are still considering it ?

http://bit.ly/2p75Bpq It’s time to grow your Pinterest account like a magical beanstalk. It may sound too good to be true, but I’ve stumbled across a new tool that can unlock your Pinterest super powers. If you’ve read any of my posts regarding other tools I’ve used and reviewed, you know that more often than not I like to share products that I think are truly going to be helpful to you and your goals in the blogging that you do.With that said, if you’re not using Pinterest because you haven’t been able to wrap your head around it yet, I understand. It’s so massive and has so much potential and it can be hard to find a good traffic source that doesn’t take weeks or months to experience the full benefit of the platform.Seriously, let’s think about this. How often have you tried this strategy or that one only to grow frustrated wondering what is it that you’re missing that someone else has figured out.What would it look like if you had the same access to the cool tools that the big boys u

http://bit.ly/2mqXG8a Chrome App Plugins Extensions Downloads In Online Internet MarketingSource Chrome apps or app extensions themselves are meant to make life a little easier. It’s no wonder the competition is so stiff. What app wouldn’t love the popular attention of marketers but hey what else is new in the realm of internet and online marketing right ?Marketers are always seeking the newest and best competitive edge. The one thing I am sure that we can all agree on is that marketing itself is pretty hard core and it isn’t by our efforts alone that help in the overall arena of competition with everyone else that is trying to do the same thing. It’s a really tough race in this game and even harder to stay in front of all the other competitors.With that said, that is where the help of marketing tools like chrome extension apps can be extremely helpful and the apps that I will reveal.. whether you use one of them or all of them are likely to give you an edge moving forward that you do not have curr

http://bit.ly/2gm10LU Blog Referrer Spam And Referrals In Google Analytics AccountSource Having a blog or a website means Google analytics will become a way of life for you at some point. That also means watching referrers and casting out referrer spam too. We all like to know where our traffic is coming from and we all have our eyes on sites where we’d love to get loads of referral traffic from too. However, there are times when those referrers can come from places that we’d rather not be connected to at all. That statement brings us into the world of referral spam that invades and toxifies our Google analytics.However, the reality is that referrer spam isn’t going to harm our blogs or websites, but what stinks about this kind of spam is that it bloats Google analytics with inaccurate data and drives up your blogs bounce rate.In another post where I’ve addressed bounce rate, you want a low bounce rate and referrer spam is intentionally going to drive it up, up and up some more which is awful.

http://bit.ly/2eiOTU1 Blogging is changing daily and it makes sense to have blog terms that help define blogging.. a glossary of sorts to explain the terminology especially for new bloggers. Definitions that help to ease the learning curve is something that for those of you who have been blogging for a while probably wished had been around when you started your blogging journey.

http://bit.ly/2e9tZSv Vlog And Vlogging TipsSource That earth shattering question has arrived… to blog or vlog right ? Well first thing’s first.. let’s chat about what is a vlog. What is vlogging ? Well blogging is not vlogging. Similar yes, but not the same. To blog lessens the necessity of a camera but to vlog ? Well the camera is where it starts. So to be short and sweet about it’s explanation is to say that vlogs are telling your story and communicating what you have to say through the camera.If there’s one thing that can be appreciated about vlogging is that, it is seemingly more personal than blogging. You see your presenter, you experience the content in a more tangible way and it’s very transparent and with that transparency, the connections are more genuine than just words on a page. Now that might beg the question: Mr. Candid Writer, why don’t you vlog ? And indeed, that is a great question actually.. and my response for that would be that blogging and vlogging are done through two

http://bit.ly/2e6FABU Good Vlogging Cameras For VlogsSource So today we’re going to take a look into the lens of the vlogging camera. Blogs like this one are cool (shameless plug), but the vlog conversation is on the rise and the vlog camera just makes sense to talk about since it’s a critical tool for the newbie vlogger just as much as it is for the intermediate or seasoned professional.With that said, and I’ll get into this in another post in more detail but vlogging in the most laymen of terms is blogging through the use of video. What I can truly appreciate about vlogging is that you can easily leverage Youtube’s massive audience by setting up a channel there and showing off your vlogs to the world with a pre-existing audience. A huge advantage over starting out with a blog, but that’s me digressing a bit. Nevertheless, getting back on topic.. just as there are necessary tools needed for the professional blogger the same goes for vlogging and I will discuss what the best tools out there are f

How is it that for something that yields so many benefits never becomes a real idea for many bloggers ? Do we truly fear the things that we don't know much about or is it something else.

http://bit.ly/2cxXcum Reddit… The little martian with beady red eyes is the not so hidden gem that you haven’t really known what to do with. Internet marketers, bloggers, website owners.. regardless of the category that you’d call home, Reddit simply cannot be ignored.Why ?It is currently one of the largest 25 websites in the "world". We’re talking over 200 million unique visitors and 8 billion (yes billion) pageviews “per month”. Specifically, in the US, it is currently listed at #9. Neil Patel wrote an impressive post on Reddit which was quite detailed as well and at the time of his article, Alexa (a website that tracks traffic data on every website online) had it listed at the 30th website in the world and ranked at #10 and this was only a little over a year ago when Neil wrote his detailed post about Reddit. That is massive growth amongst the big boys at the top of the mountain. What are they feeding this website.. Seriously, I want the vitamins they’re feeding Reddit.com for my own blog.
