Teamwork is something that has become more and more popular in the blogosphere lately and I’m also starting to let other people do some blogging. The largest blogs, with the most (quality) postings per week are blogs that have several skilled authors that works together as a great coordinated team.
Off course, as in nearly anything, there are several things to keep in mind when you start letting other people post their articles on your blog. Most of these things apply to using guest posters for your blog as it basically comes down to exactly the same idea. Read more »
My article about big money making blogs ended up with comments about over-crowded niches and the small chance that you will be successful in a niche that is completely stuffed with blogs and websites. If you want to make some money from blogging, there are several other parts of the Internet, which are ready to be used to gain a income.

If you’re a blogger in a over-crowded niche and you keep on struggling with earning a few dollars each month, you really should consider blogging about something else. Thousands of bloggers spend one day after another with writing articles that other bloggers have published before. Those articles won’t get noticed, but the enthusiastic bloggers keep on trying.

In the Best of February 2008 we will start of with highlighting the articles from the most popular categories. Off course, Blogging is category that we had to add in this list, since this was one of the main subjects through the last month.
In order to decide what post is the most popular, we are using the statistics and we take a look at the posts that scored high at social media. The readers opinion is also very important, so we take the discussion in the comments also in consideration. Read more »
On the great blog Problogger, a guest blogger asked the question; “Have blogs killed conventional websites“? To me, it’s pretty obvious why blogs have much more influence on the internet. We do need to keep in mind that this doesn’t apply to all blogs.

Most blogs won’t reach the status successful. But the blogs that do reach that status, have lots of people following, reading and interacting with the blog. And interaction is the keyword, which is why blogs have more influence and why blogs are more popular than conventional websites. Read more »

Feel free to disagree! It’s multitude of opinion that keeps the world interesting. Post a comment if you like and start the discussion. Discussion and comments are the key that keeps bloggers going and so they are to me. Read more »
Most visitors that enter a site on a specific page, don’t read the page (completely). Instead, they will scan the page for something they are looking for, or something they find interesting. If they don’t find anything that is worth taking some time to read, the page will be closed and the visitor is lost in cyberspace.
This event can be quite a frustration to a webdeveloper or content writer. You do want your visitors to actually read your content, not just scan around and leave the page again. In order to do this, you have to grab the visitors attention in the first few seconds of their visit.

A question that people keep on asking me all the time, since I implemented a phpBB forum inside my WordPress installation (on my Dutch blog). Reality is that people think different about forums, combined with blogs.

Many people think that a blog retains it’s quality, because it’s written by one person. Forums are for discussion and attract more people to give their opinion. That’s the reason why many people think a forum shouldn’t be used in combination with a blog.
But besides that, there are lots of people who think a forum is a great extra feature for a (successful) blog. Comments in blog tend to lose their overview, which keeps new visitors away from posting their comment. Threaded comments improve the readability of comments, but forums are way better in this part of discussion. Read more »
