There are a good number of blogging tips blogs online today, but only a handful of them get noticed or generate a significant amount of blog traffic and readership. Not every blog goes on to become another “Basic Blog Tips” or “ProBlogger”.

Ever want to try improving the conversion rate of your blog, but didn’t have the money to hire a designer, the time to figure it all out, or technical prowess to pull it off? Well, I’m happy to say those excuses are no longer valid ever since the Google Experiments feature was integrated into Google Analytics. If you’re not familiar with Google Experiments Lab already, it’s a program that allows you to serve different variations of your blog to different website visitors and measure the performance of those page variations against your goals (more email opt-ins, lower bounce rates) to see which version performs the best. Let me explain in simpler terms with a hypothetical example on how to setup Google Experiments.

There are so many new blogs being born every day simply because blogging is one of the easiest and most popular formats for creating content that we can use to spread our message online. Blogging is also a popular strategy when it comes to making money online. Many of the top bloggers make a substantial income from their blogs in order to support themselves and their families.

When I first heard Google Reader was going, I was really upset. It wasn’t so much about reader itself, but about the possibility of losing the services that depend on it, like my Google Reader interface of choice – Feedly. As it turned out, there was no need to worry, because thanks to some behind the scenes tech wizardry involving cloning APIs, Feedly will still be around and working long after Google Reader is gone. I’ve been using Feedly for around five years and at this stage I can’t even remember how I found it – what I do know is that I love it.

Delete. That was the sound of me getting rid of another poor guest post pitch. I used to respond to every guest post request I got, but lately I’ve been inundated with approaches that are, quite frankly, poor. That’s probably one of the reasons that a lot of prominent bloggers are refusing to accept guest posts. I have to say that I love a good guest post.
