Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010Paradikma Berbagi Award Dengan Sesama Blogger
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Sebenarnya dunia blogging tak ubahnya dengan kehidupan sehari-hari yang sering kita alami. Kecenderungan untuk saling bersosialisasi terhadap beberapa blogger tak ubahnya dengan saling bersilaturahmi dengan para tetangga di sekitar rumah. Tak bisa dipungkiri juga dunia blogging selayaknya dunia per-Film-an yan selalu buming dengan artis-artis papan atas yang selalu beradu talenta di media masa. Hal semacam itu juga banyak terjadi di dunia maya. Banyak Blogger yang menjadi pembicaraan banyak orang karena memiliki talenta tulisan artikel yang sangat menawan. Mampu menarik perhatian blogger lainnya. Bahkan seorang yang hanya googling saja mampu mengatakan bahwa “blog ini menarik banyak artikel bagus didalamnya…”, ” blog ini banyak menyediakan software secara free…”, dan lain sebagainya.
Dari buah bibir dari berbagai kalangan tersebut, akhirnya blog tersebut mampu menyapu pandangan pengunjung dengan konten di dalamnya.
Tapi disisi lain dari gemerlap tersohornya nama blogger tersebut, banyak diantara mereka yang mau berbagi award kepada blogger lain yang masih junior dibawahnya. Walaupun Award yang diberikan bukan emas permata,atau nilai rupiah, hanya sekedar gambar format jpg, misalnya. Tapi dari pemberian award tersebut, mampu meningkatkan semangat para blogger yan lain.
Hal kecil semacam in yang sering terjadi dunia blogging. Setiap blogger senior memberikan award tertentu kepada blogger yang lain, banyak sekali blogger yang antusias menerima dan memajangnya sebagai penghargaan, hal sepele ini tentunya juga memberikan tingkat kredibilitas dari blog yang menerima award. Pasalnya bila sebuah blog dibanjiri award dari blog lain ternyata mampu menarik antusias blog yang melihat dan membaca artikelnya. Karena seolah-olah blog tersebut mampu untuk dipercaya, karena sudah berkontribusi dengan blogger yang lain.
Recomended Reading.
Ada juga beberapa blog yang tidak hanya memberikan award sebagai penghargaan. tapi memberikan title Recomended Reading. Artinya blog tersebut sangat relefan untuk di jadika suatu acuan. Biasanya posting tutorial yang bermanfaat, ternyata mampu menarik blog lain untuk memberikan cap recomended reading ini. Tentunya tidak lebih dari istilah conten is king. seseorang akan memberikan nilai yang bak bila mereka juga menikmati artikel didalam blog tersebut sesuai dengan judul blognya. Dengan Reconded Reading, blog yang menerima penghargaan ini akan semakin PD untuk meposting artikel sebanyak-banyaknya.
Jadi bisa disimpulkan bahwa dunia Blogger tak lepas dari rasa kepercayaan terhadap sesama. Karena blog adalah suatu komunitas sosial yang menyangkut banyak aspek sosial didalamnya.

Here are My Top 6 Reasons Why I Do not Use Blogger
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Blogger is seriously a very standard platform to learn about blogging and talk about simple material you want online. But there are many things people are missing out if you are using a blogger account.
Here are my top 6 Reasons Why I Do Not Use Blogger1. I Get My Account Closed 3 Weeks Because Of Affiliate Links
Note that if you have a blogger account and you tried to use it sell affiliate harvest from clickbank blogger will notice it sometimes as spam links or porn links and will shut down your account until you comeback then to activate back your blog.2. You Cannot Sell Your Blog Away
Do you noticed that most successful blogs online never use blogspot? The reason is because if you work really hard to bring tons of traffic to a blogspot blog, you will not be able to sell it away in the future with a .blogspot.com domain.3. You cannot build excellent backlinks and ranking in Google
Even if blogger is produced by Google, most people make blogger account in hopes to get better ranking in Google. But Google know there are lots of people trying to do that to get ranking that is why now all blogs now appears only in a search called Blog Search.
Most blog post that are posted on blogspot appears there and also in Google searches but because your pagerank is determine by (a touch).blogspot.com . You may or may not getting excellent positioning on your SEO results. Even if you did.. there is a ignoring blogger bar on the top of your blog.4. Why promote Google when you should be promoting yourself!
By having a blogger account, you are really marketing not yourself but Google’s blogger. If you noticed why does Google have a bar right on top of your own blog permanently? They want to get more people to use the blogger interface in hopes you guys will use the Adsense at the same time to generate more revenue for them.
I am not saying that is not excellent but you should really be promote your own domain rather then a blogspot domain.5. Limited themes and plugins adds on
One major reason why I migrated to hosted Wordpress in just 3 weeks was partly I got my account closed plus I realized blogger do not have tons of themes to select from. There is way to really exchange the design but you have to know all the complicated theme codes to do that.
With wordpress, there are thousands of themes to choose from and also not forgetting all the powerful plugins you can add on to improve your blogging experience.6. Professionals do not use blogger
If you are serious about making cash online with blog, you noticed not a single one of them are using a blogspot account to do that. Why does that tell you?
I hope after you have read this article you would more or less got the thought why I do not recommend using blogger as your blog and should be using a hosted blog with wordpress installed.
Incase if you are wondering what I use. I use a simple hosting by Hostgator that is only US$9.95 per month and registered a domain for $7.95 to host my blog and of course using my Atomic Blogging System to blog.
