Round Up is my Sunday feature where i focus and giving back to the blogging community  for there support. here are five featured post for you to enjoy. Remember that sharing is caring and feel free to mention this article on all your favourite social networking and social bookmarking websites.

(1) Drive-by Guest Bloggers: The Dangers of Spun and PLR Content - Beware of drive-by guest bloggers offering to write free articles for your website. You may say, “But I’m not a writer. I can’t turn down free content!” You know that you need fresh content to attract buyers, and guest posts seem like an answer to all your prayers. Free? Even better. But when a writer appears out of nowhere, offers to write you unique posts – exclusively yours – in exchange for a backlink or two; remember that “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.” Your rich, overseas fourth cousin, seven times removed, did not just die and leave you a database overflowing with free PANDA food.

(2) Building Authority and Influence in Google+ - When Google announced last week that they’ll be starting to roll out Search Plus your World, it became more evident that search is shifting towards a simpler way of retrieving data for their users by merging personalized search and social search on their result pages for logged-in users (including relevant Google+ pages). This sudden – but already foreseen – move from Google is definitely going to make massive changes on how businesses should market themselves, as this is certain to affect traditional online marketing methodologies.

(3) Social Contest Marketing for Buzz and Links - It’s no secret that social media based contests are a sure fire way to gain brand exposure, social followers and links. There are many ways to go about executing your contest so I thought I might go over some ideas and tips that have worked wonders for clients in the past. I’ll be getting into everything from which social platforms work the best, tools to help you out and how to score links all over the place during the process. I’m pretty excited to be writing about this topic mainly for one reason. Building a strong social follower base is key to a brand’s survival. Why? Well, it scares me to think how many businesses rely mostly on Google’s organic traffic for business and just how much a strong social following is contributing to organic rankings. The organic search game is a volatile one so take advantage of your contest and start growing your follower base. The potential for your Facebook fans getting your brand message to their friends is great! Since Google+ posts are now being indexed in the SERPs, there’s a whole other angle to start thinking about.

(4) Advanced Preparation for SEO Campaign + Link Building Plan Blueprint - It has been really busy starting this year, as you saw there wasn’t a single post published here in January, so I decided to give you something to make up for the lack of posting. If you are serious about doing proper SEO for your website and capitalizing on link building and social media as well as understanding what is required to rank high in your targeted niche, than save this page for when you have time to concentrate and take notes. I like to think there are 4 stages in preparing a serious SEO campaign: Research Preparation Action Analysis Of course this is a circle, so once you complete the analysis of your work and results you need to tweak the campaign accordingly and continue. For those of you that want a quick reminder of the process outlined in this article here is a slideshow I did on the topic, and at the end of the post you will find a masterpiece of my designing skills, a blueprint.

(5) 2 Free Binverse Usent Accounts to winners of the first ever giveaway contest on this blog - Here comes a pleasant surprise !! A giveaway for the visitors of this blog. Yes, this is for the very first time, I have come up with a giveaway for the readers of this blog. I don’t know why I couldn’t think on the same earlier but anyways, here is a great chance for you to be a part of the same and become a lucky winner..! Now, what does the lucky winner get ? The lucky winner has a chance to grab the Binverse Usenet Account for free. You may be wondering what is this all about? Well, once you have the free account with Binverse Usenet, you can download as much content as possible from the same (50 GB). For those who are unaware of the term Usenet, please visit this Usenet page to know more on it. In short -

This is Sunday Post Round Up for another week featuring some interesting post from around the world wide web. Round Up gather post from my readers and features them here if you notice any interesting post during your logging journey please feel free to email the link to me and i will feature them here. Round Up is my Sunday feature where i focus and giving back to the blogging community  for there support. here are five featured post for you to enjoy. Remember that sharing is caring and feel free to mention this article on all your favourite social networking and social bookmarking websites.

(1)  A blogger’s decision to sell his blog for lump sum cash – A question for my blog readers – Have you ever been approached by any person who is interested in buying your blog? Have you ever thought of selling your blog and if yes then what really made you think on the same? And if not then why shouldn’t you be selling your blog ? Eventually money has to come anyway, either your carry on your blogging with a hope to see people visiting in huge numbers on your blog and being kind enough to click on your ads or affiliate links which eventually keeps money pouring in. This surely doesn’t happen overnight and instead requires continuous involvement, dedication and commitment to pursue your blogging goals. It may take a year or two to see those results and when it happens, nothing looks more satisfying then. Well, I am still to reach that satisfaction level but anyways, what if I had sold this blog.

(2) Sync Chrome Bookmarks With iPhone – Want to sync Chrome bookmarks with iPhone?

(3) How to Increase Website Conversion Rates with Derek Halpern - If you thought my quest to increase my website conversion rate ended with the last post on conversion optimization, you don’t know me really well.I decided to get an extra pair of eyes to take a look at Traffic Generation Cafe and tell me what I was doing wrong and, hopefully, right. And not just ANY pair of eyes mind you, but someone who knows what he is talking about (most of the times) and is not afraid to give it to me straight.

(4)  Google’s Policies & Principles: Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service – All Google users should. I’m aware that Google Friend Connect (GFC) widget will no longer be supported on non-blogspot blogs but there are more great things to expect. The general Google policy aims to: – make it easier to work across Google. Simplicity is the key. While Google keep sending reminders about product policies and terms of services, it is easy to overlook some emails and notes. Some people also tend to forget their usernames and password. But with the new policy, merging has lots of rewards, too.

(5) THE 40 BEST IPAD APPS FOR YOUNG LEARNERS - The best way to get your parents to buy you expensive gadgets has always been to really sell the educational value. “But Mom, if you buy me a Nintendo, think about how much my spelling will improve playing Wheel of Fortune.” Of course, these days it’s all about the iPad. For every Angry Birds there’s an educational game out there to improve your child’s mind. Here are 40 of the best apps for your young Einstein. Most of them are paid apps, but if you’ve got $500 to drop on an iPad, we’re thinking you won’t mind.

That is Round Up for this week hope you have enjoyed these post and will share them with your friends on your favourite social networking websites

I know what you’re thinking: “But every blog about blogging talks about the high value of niche blogging. Even this blog talks about how niche blogging is the best.” I am not at all trying to say that niche blogging is bad or ineffective; niche blogs dominate keyword searches and provide detailed, specialized information that is usually hard to come by in a well-written form on the web. I love niche blogs.

At the same token, I am also extremely grateful that not every blog is a niche blog. If I’m your average Joe trying to do some research about mobile computing tablets, I would be incredibly confused and frustrated with all the niche tech blogs out there. I wouldn’t care about processor speeds, what an OS is, what the new screen technology is called, how many MP the camera can shoot in, or whether my data speed technology is HSDPA (with no explanation as to what this acronym stands for or means). Overspecialization can quickly turn readers away.

Why Broad Layman’s Terms Rule

Branching from my example above, the reason that base-level information blogs can be so successful is because they have the potential to have massive appeal, which comes with a massive audience and massive traffic. When you write a more general post or use a more basic vocabulary, more people will understand and identify with your writing.

The Challenges of Going Broad

While it is easier to catch a broader audience when you use simpler language or speak matter-of-fact about potentially complex topics, the only problem with maintaining this type of general blog is that you will have much, much more competition. To compensate for this, you must have extremely brilliant writing and content on your blog; you must be entertaining and enthralling. Perhaps your blog will be funnier, more sincere, or simply much clearer than other blogs out there. Find out what your strengths are in your writing and stick to them if you decide not to use a niche topic.

If You Decide to Go Niche

If your blog is already dedicated to a niche topic or you would really like to create a niche blog, you can still take steps to reach a wider audience. One thing you must do is tone down overly-technical language. If you are using an acronym, define it or at least spell it out – for example, “search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of strategizing your content to rank higher on search engine results pages (SERPs).”

Another great idea is to have a post dedicated completely to the technical vocabulary of your niche (your glossary). Update this post frequently, perhaps even occasionally with an all new post in your archives. Be sure to use the <a name=”example”> anchor in your glossary. Then when you include a technical term into a new post, link to that specific anchor (your blog.com/glossary.html#your term), and your readers will get a link directly to that definition. If this sounds a bit too complicated, read up on links and anchors, and you will understand in no time.

Bottom Line

Both a niche and a broad blog have the potential to be hugely rewarding and successful. I also think both types of blogs should copy elements of each other to increase the potential pool of readers as well as target specific readers to stay loyal. General, broad blogs should attempt a detailed, technical post every once in a while. Niche blogs should have a general, entry-level post every so often to lure in newcomers who might have a budding interest in your niche but just need to grasp the basics first.

This is the First Post for 2012 and i want to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy new and may all your goals be reachable and your targets met Since this is the first Round Up for this year i will take a look back at the five top commented post here on lawmacs.com for the past year. I do hope you enjoy this Round Up and you can participate by referring post from other blogs to get featured here even if you write the post by yourself. Last year was a good year for me but it is time to set the goals and move on.

(1) Keep Your Visitors Coming Back – Returning visitors are very important for the survival of any website or blog if you check your website statistics this is one area you should pay attention to getting new visitors is important don’t under estimate that however it is good to see that your blog has lots of repeated visits. Repeated visits proves that your blog has value and quality. Writing good content is one of the contributing factor to having repeated visits A lot of successful websites depend on returning visitors to account for a major part of their traffic.Visitors that keeps coming back to your website are considered more loyal and is much easier to convert to paying customers because the more often they return to a site, the more trust they have in that site.How do you get repeated visits?

(2) Guest Posting Or Networking – Have you been writing guest post lately ? well if you did that’s a good idea , now lets explore the idea of networking against writing guest posts which i believe is better and gives a better result.This is just my honest opinion here i strongly believe Networking with other bloggers is far much better than writing guest posts.I must remind you that this is just my opinion and i am not an expert here. I am just simply a blogger with a big ambition of trying to change the web one blog at a time sounds

(3) 5 Gadgets Parents Use to Keep Their Kids Safe – All parents want to keep their children safe, but are some going too far? You may think so when you hear about these five new gadgets parents use to keep tabs on their children. 1. What do you think about a monitoring system tracks the baby’s breathing rhythms and relays infrared images from the nursery? Too much? Some parents don’t think so, despite the fact that the electronics have caused the strangling deaths of two infants. When you trade off one danger for another, what benefit do you really get? Several steps above the old baby monitors, the new ones shouldn’t take the place of actual supervision and should not be relied on to take care of any emergency. Like all technology, it has its limits.

(4) 5 Reasons Why Niche Blogging is The Best Blogging – For any blogger who wishes to make money online the best thing he or she could do is to blog on a niche. That’s a known fact. But still there are people around who have been plagued with a fact that makes them believe that simply blogging on anything and everything would make their money making dream come true. Even I had the same approach when I started my blogging. I could see people telling me that I should have a blog if I had a desire to make money online. I should have ads all over and then I could make huge money overnight! Honestly, if it would have been so easier to make money online then I would have called myself the next John Chow

(5) Cloud Storage – Cloud Hosting the new craze all bloggers by now should have heard the name Cloud Hosting before it seems to be the new choice offered to website owners for the purpose on online storage. There are many web hosting companies that are offering this service for free and some includes them as part of their normal services. But what is Cloud Hosting? According to Wikipedia Cloud storage is a model of networked online storage where data is stored on virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by third parties. Hosting companies operate large data canters; and people who require their data to be hosted buy or lease storage capacity from them and use it for their storage needs. The data centre operators, in the background, virtualize the resources according to the requirements of the customer and expose them as storage pools, which the customers can themselves use to store files or data objects. Physically, the resource may span across multiple servers. Cloud storage services may be accessed through a web service application programming interface (API), or through a Web-based user interface.

Lets look forward for a more productive new year

No since it is Christmas day i just hope all is well and you are all enjoying the festive season.

Christmas RADIO: Christmas Radio is a free app available for Android users to get them into Christmas mood.Users can listen to more than 40 Christmas radio stations from all over which includes religious X-Mas music, X-Mas rock, X-mas jazz and much more.

(2) SEO Strategies and Inbound Marketing Best Practices for 2012 – In 1998, when Larry Page and Sergey Brin received funding from Andy Bechtolsheim, no one really expected for Google to grow or to be as big as it is now. And perhaps, not one person expected for it to create massive job as well as business opportunities for people worldwide, which is now one of the most competitive and in-demand industries in the web space – Search Engine Optimization

(3)   7 Commandments of Social Networking That Small Businesses Need to Follow – Social networks need no introduction. Be it the Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and now Google Plus. We have all been there, done that. Though initially developed as a platform to connect people and giving them a chance to share with their friends and families, these platforms have now grown into full-fledged marketing mediums. The large communities of registered members become your audience and the networks become an integral form of marketing for your small business.

(4) Keyword Rich Anchored Links Everywhere Or Building Authority With More Natural Looking Links - Trying to decide what link building strategy to incorporate will depend primarily on the level of competition for a given keyword phrase. The more competitive a keyword phrase is, the more varied the link building strategy will need to be. Incorporating the keyword rich anchor text links as your primary method of link building can come across as “unnatural” to the search engines. If all of the links include the same anchor text, it is more likely that the results have been engineered (usually by the SEO). Keeping a variety of links or mixing up the anchor text used can be a great way to manage this traceable footprint.

Posting informative videos is a good way to attract visitors and increase awareness about a company. However, to enhance rankings in video search engines, you need to optimize videos correctly.

Video search optimization is in its infant stage currently. However, it is growing rapidly. In case you are unsure how to optimize your videos, consider hiring a SEO services company and opting for professional SEO services for video optimization. Additionally, you can start with these three following options to post videos:

Option 1- Posting videos on your site

The primary purpose of posting videos on your site is to offer information in a unique way. To allow video search engines to crawl your site in a hassle-free manner, opt for the following tips.

· Optimizing the video file is the most critical step. To optimize, offer information that can include a title, summary, and few keywords.

· While posting videos on your site, ensure that HTML content surrounds them. Information placed in a video file is usually limited. This strategy will allow search engines to acquire detailed data from the surrounding pages.

· Pay special attention to the page text. Do not forget to write a keyword-rich and detailed description of the posted videos.

· Arrange video files in a single directory. This will allow the crawler to access videos more easily.

Option 2- Submitting MRSS/RSS feed to a site

In this situation, you may want to increase awareness about your company by getting in touch with sites that accept MRSS or RSS feed. Examples of such sites can include Blinkx and Yahoo Video. Optimizing videos for these sites involves various steps. These can include submitting a description, title, keywords, category, thumbnails, and a complete transcript.

Submitting a full transcript is important, because it gives the site something to chew on.

Option 3- Uploading video at video-sharing sites

The third scenario involves uploading videos at video-sharing sites, such as YouTube, Yahoo Video. Before sharing videos at these sites, you should optimize them. Consider the following steps.

· Entering metadata at these sites is important as well. This can include keywords, title, and description.

· Placing your logos in the first and last frames of the video is a great idea. You can also incorporate any other useful information in these frames.

We highlighted few tips that will help you to optimize videos in three different situations. Now, we will offer few general video optimization tips.

1. Develop interesting videos. Unless your video contains something unique, people will not watch it.

2. Duration of your video should not be more than 5 minutes. Creating a lengthy video can bore the users.

3. Do not forget to include the word ‘video’ in any metadata. The reason is that many people type the word ‘video’ while searching for a relevant video. Implementing this strategy will increase your rankings in the search engines. Of course, do not go overboard with it.

4. Offer various versions that can include .wmv, .avi, and .mov. This strategy will not enhance your SEO rankings. However, it will allow visitors to choose their preferred version.

5. Encourage people to rank your videos. Remember that crawlers give great importance to ranks of videos.

6. Create an enticing and keyword-rich title of your video. Consider the fact that title plays a critical role in attracting attention of your target users.

7. Incorporate keywords in the URL and filename. Video search engines give importance to the usage of relevant keywords.

Creating and sharing videos are not enough. You have to publicize them as well. Place them in various sites and encourage people to share them. If possible, offer some incentive so that people feel interested in sharing them.

With the social media revolution having exploded and then some in recent years, has your company put in place a solid social media policy that leaves no questions unanswered?

As more and more businesses address this matter, perhaps now is the time for your business to review its social media policy or put one in place should things have been left standing rather loosely on this matter.

Above all else, your company should be prepared to answer any and all questions regarding its social media policy should talk of a lawsuit come up either in-house or from an outside source who feels they were damaged by something someone in your company put out on Facebook, Twitter or another such site.

Whether you have social media guidelines in place and they might need to be revisited or you do not have a policy in effect, take a few minutes to consider the following:

· Whether you like it or not, many of your employees utilize social media on a daily basis, both during and before and after work. Even if you ban social media sites from office computers, individuals can still access them with their mobile phones, etc. So, is it not better to allow social media in the office with some guidelines in place when all is said and done?

· Social media can be an integral part of your company and effectively doing business. The ability to have real-time interaction with current and potential customers is never ending. To ban all social media in the office, both work and personal related, is something that could have repercussions for you in more ways than one.

· You could lose out on some good employees with too many restrictions in place. Let’s face it, we live in a 24/7 information age, both at work and outside the office. While you do not want your employees spending an endless amount of time tweeting and sharing personal stuff when they’re supposed to be working, cracking down on them day in and day out may lead to losing some talented workers. In the end, was it worth it having such tight restrictions in place that you drove away some good, hard-working people to other companies where restrictions were a little more lax?

· Make sure you separate an employee’s social media efforts between business and personal. While on the clock, the employee is representing your company and all it stands for. That being the case, it is important that they know what is and isn’t permissible with social media. Inappropriate language, images, bad-mouthing the company etc. should not be tolerated. Remember, however, each individual and their tweets or shares need to be looked at so that you’re not discriminating against someone’s freedom of speech. When looking at your social media policy, make sure whether or not you have given employees the permission to identify themselves as representatives of the business.

· Lastly, review your social media policy on a regular basis. Just as employees change over time, so do company policies. Be sure to update your SM policy to make sure it is relevant to the current times. Not updating the policy could open you up to employee issues, possible lawsuits and more down the road. Most importantly, make sure all current employees understand without question what they can and cannot do while working when it comes to social media.

Cloud Hosting the new craze all bloggers by now should have  heard the name Cloud Hosting before it seems to be the new choice offered to website owners for the purpose on online storage. There are many web hosting companies that are offering this service for free and some includes them as part of their normal services. But what is Cloud Hosting? According to Wikipedia Cloud storage is a model of networked online storage where data is stored on virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by third parties.

Physically, the resource may span across multiple servers. Cloud storage services may be accessed through a web service application programming interface (API), or through a Web-based user interface.

Cloud storage has the same characteristics as cloud computing in terms of agility, scalability, elasticity and multi-tenancy. According to Computer Weekly, it is believed by many experts to have been invented by Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider in the 1960′s. Since the sixties, cloud computing has developed along a number of lines, with Web 2.0 being the most recent evolution. However, since the internet only started to offer significant bandwidth in the nineties, cloud computing for the masses has been something of a late developer.

One of the first milestones for cloud computing was the arrival of Salesforce.com in 1999, which pioneered the concept of delivering enterprise applications via a simple website. The services firm paved the way for both specialist and mainstream software firms to deliver applications over the internet. Another notable mention would be FilesAnywhere who also in 1999 helped pioneer cloud based storage services that also enable users to securely share files online. Both of which continue to offer those services still today. When dealing with or choosing your online storage you need to do your research read reviews on blogs or website that provides detailed and impartial reviews about top online storage so that you can get good knowledge about pricing and storage facilities. There are lots of website that provides information about online storage cloud storage is something that helps reduce downtime as a version of site of files or stored on different servers just making it easier to access and also at a faster rate. Have you ever thought about Cloud storage ? then check out the this review at top online storage and let me know what you think.

Round Up went missing in action last week however we are back this week with a bang,normally i would feature five post in my Round Up this week there is six as there are so many great post floating around on the internet today. Although i might not seems to be very active i often browse my regular sites even with limited time and sometimes i might not get the chance to leave a comment. I do hope that you enjoy these six articles featured here in this Round Up. These are some fine and well written topics so feel free to visit the site and read the full post.

(1) How to Increase Visitor “Time on Site” by 618% [Traffic & Conversion #2] – Welcome to the 2nd update of the traffic and conversion series. This is a monthly blog post where I discuss specific strategies I use to drive more traffic to my sites and how I convert these web visitors. (Specifically I detail what I’m currently doing with SteveScottSite.com) Last time, I discussed 7 ways to increase blog traffic by 25.35%. Today I’ll talk about a strategy that I’m currently using to increase the amount of time people spend on my site…by as much as 618%. But first, let’s see what happened in October…

(2) Build My Rank Review – THE Best Way to Get Backlinks? – As we’ve all learned, backlinks are a key factor for how Google ranks a page in their search results. Put simply, the more quality backlinks you have the higher your site will rank. (Okay… that was a major simplification.) Basically there are two choices when it comes to backlinks: You can hope people will link to a site because they like the content You can use tools to [semi] automate the process of getting backlinks. Frankly, I have always thought that most backlinking tools are complete junk, because they usually are. Some will get your site penalized by the all mighty Google. Others create lots of “junk content” throughout the Internet which does nothing for your site. In the last month, I’ve tested about a dozen backlinking tools for my niche affiliate income series.

(3) Download iOS 5.0.1 ( Direct Links) – Apple has released iOS 5.0.1 firmware to public to fix battery drainage of iOS 5 and as well as for iPhone 4S battery.iOS 5.0.1 beta 2 was seeded to developers last week to iron out the possible bugs. iOS 5.0.1 which is of build 9A405 brings multitasking gestures for iPad 1 and resolves bugs with documents in the Cloud.iOS 5.0.1 Download iOS 5.0.1 ( Direct Links) How to download and update to iOS 5.0.1 You can download iOS 5.0.1 OTA by going to “Settings” >> “General” >> “Software Update” >> “Download and Install”. iOS 5.0.1 can also be downloaded via iTunes where you will find an update to launch a new software. iTunes download size for the new iOS software is 790 MB. iOS 5.0.1 is compatible with iPhone 4S/iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2/iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G and iPod Touch 3G. iOS 5.0.1 also patches five security vulnerability which was revealed by researcher Charlie Miller.

(4)How to Organize Your Thoughts for Creating Content - When a piece of content contains a lot of mixed ideas and an unclear message overall, readers are left with nothing to take away from what they just read. Although timeseo copywriting consuming and sometimes tedious, laying out the key points that need to be covered is crucial to ensure that readers grasp and understand the intention of the article. Project management and organizational skills are just as important in writing as they are in all other major areas of a business. Here are a few steps that every business should follow before crafting their content

(5) Are you really saying something? – I absolutely hate 90% of the buzzwords that get thrown around when it comes to internet marketing. I understand the human desire to label and categorise, and of course it’s useful when utilised properly, but we’re definitely getting to the stage where we’re excessively labelling and categorising and it’s getting out of control. One of the terms that annoys me the most is ‘Web 2.0’. From a technical perspective, it’s a completely meaningless number; the internet has been through several huge eras both socially and technically and ‘2.0’ doesn’t do anything to describe that in a logical way. Used in reference to a particular style of design or sites that fit certain interaction attributes, it’s just about passable. But the ‘Is Web 2.0 Dead?’ thing (in fact, ANYTHING which contains ‘Is … Dead?’) really annoys me. ‘Web 2.0’ is a trend. It’s kind of cute in a jokey way to refer to a person or animal as going through an upgrade period and being ‘[Name] 2.0’, but the people who try to make it mean something in a serious way are heading for disaster.

(6) Viral Content Marketing: Creating, Promoting and Scaling Content - Last Saturday, October 29, 2011, I presented about Viral Content Marketing at Mastering Online Ranking Conference. MORCon is one of the most awaited yearly SEO conferences in the country, as several of the country’s top-gun SEOs unite to share their knowledge (and some of their secrets) about the online marketing industry to our small local community of Internet professionals. I was lucky to be invited to present at this event and definitely fortunate to receive a lot of positive feedbacks about my presentation, given that it was my first ever speaking gig. My slides from MORCon are below, and I might also upload a video of my presentation (though it’s in Filipino) in the coming weeks. Any questions about the presentation, feel free to drop a comment below.

That is Round up for this week hope you enjoyed it and have a great week ahead and here is a bonus link that you must visit The 7 links (post) challenge for my blog readers
