5 Kesilapan Besar Ketika Membeli Nama Domain Yang Perlu Anda Tahu

#1 – Nama Domain Terlalu Panjang
Nama domain yang terlalu panjang akan menyebabkan pelawat sukar untuk mengingati URL blog anda. Mereka yang baru berkunjung ke blog anda pasti tidak akan datang lagi melainkan mereka klik URL ke blog daripada blog-blog atau laman web lain.

Anda sebagai pemilik blog berpotensi besar kehilangan direct traffic hanya kerana para pelawat anda sudah lupa akan URL blog anda yang terlalu panjang itu.

#2 – Nama Domain Sukar Disebut
Seterusnya, kesilapan yang sering dilakukan adalah apabila membeli nama domain yang sukar disebut. Bayangkan apabila para pembaca blog berbual-bual dengan para sahabat mereka tentang (perkara yang baik-baik sahaja) daripada blog anda.

Sudah pasti mereka akan mudah mengingati nama domain anda jika ianya juga mudah disebut. Anda sebagai pemilik blog harus membuat beberapa pilihan dan senarai terlebih dahulu sebelum bertindak membeli nama domain.

#3 – Bunyi Yang Mengelirukan
Anda tidak mempunyai bajet pemasaran yang besar untuk mempromosikan blog anda pada peringkat awal. Oleh yang demikian, nama domain yang mempunyai bunyi mengelirukan seperti mempunyai akhirnya ’2u’ atau ’4u’ harus dielakkan.

Mereka yang pertama kali mendengar nama domain anda pasti keliru. Adakah ianya ’2u’ atau ‘too you’? Atau, adakah ianya ’4u’ ataupun ‘for you’?

Jangan letakkan anda sebagai penyedia servis perbankan atas talian terkemuka tempatan yang mempunyai akhiran ’2u’ di belakang nama domain mereka. Mereka mempunyai bajet pemasaran yang banyak untuk tujuan promosi servis dan perkhidmatan mereka itu.

#4 – Mengandungi Tanda Sengkang
Tanda sengkang (-) pada kebiasaannya akan diabaikan apabila kita berkomunikasi. Bayangkan anda sedang berada di dalam satu dewan dan diberikan peluang untuk berkongsi mengenai sejarah dan perihal blog anda.

Adakah anda mahu menyebut dan mengulangi bunyi ‘..dash‘ itu setiap kali menyebut nama domain anda. Saya pasti anda juga kurang gemar untuk mengulangi bunyi itu.

Jika mempunyai pilihan dan alternatif yang lain, pilih sahaja nama domain yang tidak mempunyai tanda sengkang (-). Ianya juga nama kemas dan professional apabila dicetak pada media cetak dan kad bisnes anda kelak.

#5 – Mengandungi Cap Dagangan Dan Hakcipta
Syarikat yang telah mendaftarkan hakcipta dan cap dagangan mereka mempunyai hak untuk mengeluarkan saman kepada mana-mana individu yang menggunakan terma dan paten yang telah mereka daftarkan.

Oleh yang demikian, pastikan nama domain anda tidak mengandungi apa-apa frasa yang meragukan. Jika anda kurang yakin sama ada ianya mempunyai kaitan dengan mana-mana syarikat ataupun produk, anda boleh bertanya rakan-rakan anda yang arif terlebih dahulu.

You must be reading everywhere about writing, how to write well, how to write engaging content, how to structure your post etc.

But did you ever think that apart from writing, reading is also important for bloggers, Especially for newbie bloggers. Yes never ignore reading because continuous reading can benefit you in many ways.

Let’s discuss why should bloggers keep on reading:-

1. Enhance Writing Skills:- The most beneficial thing you get from continuous reading is improvement in writing skills. Yes you read it right, Reading surely improves writing.

When you read other blogger’s blog then you can notice that everyone has their own style of writing, by reading them you can get flexibility in your writing. It also improves your vocabulary which is beneficial for good writing.

If you miss out the reading part then you will not come to know about different styles if writing. Initially I amazed to see how people write 1000 word articles. And whenever I sit to write then I ended up myself within 100-200 words but as I started reading blogs like writetodone, youngprepro, daily writing tips, dailyblogtips etc then I learnt how to write well and how to write longer and engaging posts.

You can see that now I always write posts not less than 700 words. I don’t mean that writing longer post is everything but yes if you will write a good post then it will surely cross 600-700 words.

In short, I want to say even if you don’t write daily but keep on reading on daily basis, you will feel improvement in yourself for sure.

2. Reduce Stress: There are times in every blogger’s life when they can feel stressed because of traffic, running out of blog post ideas and other issues. Then I just suggest either you turn off your laptop and go for a walk for friends or just sit and start reading blogs in your niche without taking any stress. You will feel relieved and also may get an idea for your next post.

Believe me when you keep on brainstorming for ideas and if you are not getting any idea then you feel like quitting but this is the time you have to control yourself.

In this situation just forget about writing and just start reading and don’t write for 2-3 days. Just keep on reading and after 2-3 days you will feel a new energy in yourself and you will feel motivated which inspire you towards blogging.

3. Ideas for new blog posts: I already wrote above that you can get ideas for your new post while reading. Yes reading always gives you new ideas about writing posts for your own blog.

For this you should be reading the best blogs in your niche. Like If you are having technology blog then you must read mashable, techcrunch, lifehacker, gizmodo etc. Reading these kind of blogs will get you hell lot of ideas which you can use to write your next post.

4. Increase Concentration level: Remember the days when you were studying in class 10^th or lower classes, you would have been always struggling with concentrating on studies(as this is very childish age and you always want not to study) but as you start reading something then you used to concentrate on the topic to understand that.

It means for reading you need concentration and as you read more you concentrate more. So start reading and concentrating. Gradually You will feel that your concentration level has been increased.

5. Enhance Knowledge: There is no need to write more on this point because its simple as the headline “Enahance Knowledge”, its obvious if you read so many blog posts, news etc then your knowledge must be enhanced.

These are the few benefits of reading. These are must for newbie bloggers because a newbie should have good knowledge, should have good concentration level, should be good in writing, should get new ideas and should be stress free.

So I think by continuous reading all the newbies should develop these skills and keep blogging like a star.

As everyone knows that time is the most precious thing of the world so we need to do everything after making a strategy, means we need to do planning before starting anything new. Same in case of guest blogging. If you are thinking to start guest blogging then you might want to get positive results from it, isn’t it?
I think you all would say “Yes, we want the positive results”. I hope your expectations are valid because if you are writing for other’s blog instead of writing for your own blog then you must expect the positive results from it.

So here are the tips which will get success for you through guest blogging:-

Make List of Nice Blogs

I suggest you to make a list of nice blogs for which you want to do guest post before you start the guest blogging . It will be a good strategy to have the list of blogs for which you want to write. Always try to write for the blogs with same niche and make sure they have better positions in SERPS than your site.

Write An Amazing Author Bio

The first thing you need to think is all about your Bio that will be published with your guest post. If the reader reads you post then he/she must read the author’s bio and if you bio is not so attractive then I don’t think he/she will going to click on your website link. So my suggestion is to write a very nice and attractive author’ bio for yourself which should contain your areas of knowledge, your expertise, a line that describe about your blog/website and ofcourse a link of your blog/website there. Be sure that your bio provide a meaningful information.

Write a Killer Post

The second and most important thing you have to do is to write a quality post because it reflects your knowledge about the topic and your writing skills. These things attracts readers mind to read your blog too. Also If you deal with freelance writing job then here your writing skill can give you clients too.

One more thing if you are writing for big blogs then you your writing skill must be killer because they approve only those posts which have the best quality. So you need to show your quality in the post.

Attach Images In The Posts

When you submit a guest post to a blog then you might attach the images in the post. So many guest bloggers are here who doesn’t attach images in the post and I think this puts a negative impact on the blog admin at the time of approving that post. So attach images in the post for sure. If you have to email the guest post to the admin then send the images in the attachments.

One more thing, The image is the important part of any post so be sure the image must reflect the content. It should not be misleading.

Write The Posts In Points

Try to write the post in points because it looks professional. Whether you can use numbers or bulleted list or heading to separate the points(as I did in this post). Readers love to read such kind of post because even they don’t have much time to read the whole post then they can read the points only to understand the story. Paragraphed post looks a bit lengthy to readers. They don’t want to read them most of the time.

Reply To Comments

After a guest post on a blog your work has not end here. You need to reply to the comments on that posts because it gives you more recognition among the readers of that particular post. Also the admin of the blog will give you preference when you write a next post for his/her blog.

So these are the tips to get success through Guest blogging. Its my thinking But there are lots more tips on this subject too so I will be very happy if you guys share your own views and suggestions via the comment form.

As-Salam. Ramai blogger Malaysia sependapat bahawa pembaca adalah elemen paling penting dalam menentukan tahap kejayaan blog. Bukan nilai trafik, bukan nilai pengikut (follower), bukan juga kedudukan ranking. Ini adalah kerana pembaca bloglah yang akan menentukan nilai-nilai lain itu.

Sukar untuk mendapatkan pembaca setia bagi blog. Jika blog tidak ada kandungan yang memikat dan original, maka sampai ke sudah blog anda akan berada pada tahap ia mula diwujudkan. Pengunjung boleh didapati dan ditarik dengan mudah, tapi menjadikan pengunjung itu terus jatuh cinta dan menjadi pengunjung setia saban waktu adalah payah.

Apakah teknik yang mujarab untuk menukar mereka yang petama, kedua kali mengunjungi blog anda supaya kekal, dan seterusnya memikat mereka menjadi pembaca blog anda? Saya sendiri hadapi kesukaran untuk mendapatkan pembaca setia. Ramai yang singgah hari ini, esok lusa tak datang dah ... kalau ikutkan peratus, 60-70 peratus pengunjung pertama kali hanya singgah kerana mahu melihat dan membaca sepintas lalu entri tertentu sahaja.

Namun, saya ada juga pengalaman di mana berjaya juga menyeru pengunjung pertama kali ini menjadi pembaca harian blog ini. Anda boleh mencuba teknik ini, tetapi saya tak jamin ehh ... cuba je, tak salah mencuba, mana tahu menjadi.

3 Rahsia Menyeru Pengunjung Jadi Pembaca

1. Buat entri berjujukan atau bersiri. Untuk teknik ini, anda kena pastikan bahawa cerita telah tersedia, dan anda sudah tahu mahu cerita mengenai atau tentang apa. Entri berjujukan ini adalah entri berkait, anda akan terbitkan sesuatu cerita secara berperingkat. Contoh paling mudah ialah entri pengembaraan atau pelancongan. Kadangkala, anda tak dapat nak ceritakan semua dalam satu entri, maka dengan buat entri bersiri ini, setiap entri akan ada sambungannya. Ramai blogger yang buat entri sebegini, contohnya Fatin Liyana, Denaihati, Fatin Suhana, Ben Ashaari, Mak Dara dan ramailah ... dan mereka telah berjaya menyeru pengunjung untuk tahu kesudahan cerita - yang menjadikan mereka pembaca untuk kisah entri tersebut.
2. Rahsia kedua untuk menyeru pengunjung jadi pembaca ialah dengan mengadakan segmen, kontes atau giveaway yang memerlukan pengunjung mencari 'jawapan' dalam blog anda. Dengan cara ini, anda secara tidak langsung 'memaksa' mereka yang sertai apa jua benda yang anda anjurkan untuk gelidah entri-entri dalam blog. Dan, jika bernasib baik, mereka mungkin akan terpikat dengan entri-entri lain yang terkandung dalam blog ini dalam pencarian tersebut.
3. Rahsia ketiga ialah menulis entri mengenai sesuatu yang pengunjung mahukan. Cara ini memerlukan anda membuat sedikit kajian semasa. Anda perlu memerhatikan trend yang terdapat dalam forum, dalam Facebook, dalam dunia blogger Malaysia untuk mencari topik yang hangat. Buat sedikit kelainan untuk menjadikan entri anda unik. Contohnya, semasa Pilihanraya Umum 13 baru-baru ini; di sebalik entri mengenai pilihanraya, anda boleh bercerita mengenai pengalaman anda dalam pilihanraya lepas, atau memberikan pendapat am mengenai proses pilihanraya. Tak perlu terikut dengan cerita oleh blogger lain, kerana pengunjung akan mudah menjangka apa yang akan diceritakan. Teknik ini memerlukan anda untuk buat entri bermusim di mana dalam seminggu itu paling tidak mesti ada 3-5 entri mengenai perkara yang sama, contohnya tadi Pilihanraya Umum tetapi seperti saya katakan tadi, cuba sedikit kelainan dari entri biasa dengan kata kunci tersebut.

Itulah sedikit perkongsian kepada anda yang mungkin mahu mencari pembaca setia untuk blog. Rahsia menyeru pengunjung jadi pembaca ini sebenarnya bergantung dengan niche atau tema blog anda. Jika tema itu sesuai, in Sha Allah, mereka berkunjung pertama kali takkan lari ke mana. Mungkin tak datang hari-hari, tetapi dalam seminggu pasti 2-3 singgahan akan ada dari mereka ini.
