The Best of the Blogosphere: April 18, 2008
April 18, 2008
Welcome to another edition of The Best of the Blogosphere, where I try to round up all the greatest content from the past week and put it together into one valuable resource that you can enjoy, learn from, and even share with your own readers if you like!
If you’ve written a great article, covered big news, started a contest, etc. then please shoot me an email if it’s relevant and I might include in the next roundup. I’d love to help you out in getting more exposure and also let my readers know everything that’s going on in the blogosphere, so don’t be afraid to ask!

I hope you enjoyed this week’s roundup! However, I’ve been thinking about something for a while and I’d really love your opinions on it. I usually do The Best of the Blogosphere on a weekly basis, every Friday. So far this has worked out fine, but now I feel that these link resource posts are quite dominating. Instead of doing them every Friday, I was thinking of doing them every other Friday - once every two weeks. This way there will be a bit more room for real content on this blog, and it’ll also improve the quality of the roundups. Drop a comment and let me know what you think. Have a great weekend! :)

The Differences Between Full and Partial RSS Feeds
April 16, 2008
I recently received a comment from Wayne Liew on this post stating that Super Blogging seriously needs to offer a full RSS feed. I will explain all about Super Blogging’s feed and subscription options later in this post, but what Wayne Liew said really got me to thinking - what do readers like more, and which is more sensible - full or partial RSS feeds?

FREE Advertising Deals on Super Blogging
April 14, 2008
I’m getting ready to start a group of special ad packages here on Super Blogging that can be extremely beneficial to you, especially if you’d like to market your brand and drive traffic to your site or product. We’re all trying to make money here, but a huge part of blogging is giving back to your readers and advertisers - and that’s just what I’d like to do. I’m going to offer a variety of options so everyone can get what they need to advertise effectively, and for a reduced price. So take advantage of these offers while they last!
#1 - Buy a Review, Get a 125×125 FREE!
Everyone knows that reviews are one of the best kinds of ads you can purchase. Not only are they a direct recommendation from the author and a feature on their blog, a way to get some much-needed critique, expand your readerbase, reach ALL of the blogger’s RSS subscribers and visitors, and more, but they’re also a permanent kind of ad - meaning that your review, contained links, etc. will remain on the blog forever.
As you can see, if you order a review on Super Blogging for $50 you will get a 125×125 banner, usually $25 by itself, FREE! That comes to be a $75 offer altogether, so you’re really saving money and getting some bang for your buck - buy a review, get a banner free. To see examples of past reviews, click here.
#2 - Buy a 125×125, Get a Text Link FREE!
If you’d rather go for a smaller advertising campaign, then this is the one for you. 125×125’s are one of the best and most accepted forms of banner advertisement in the blogosphere, and in return they are also very effective at generating attention and interest. You can purchase a 125×125 banner for $25 and get a text link ad, which is usually $10 alone, FREE! That’s a $35 offer but you’re getting it for less - if you buy a 125×125, you’ll get a free link as my thanks to you.
#3 - Buy a 125×125 for JUST $5 a Week!
As mentioned above, 125×125 banner ads are popular and they work well, but there are those of you who would like to test out a campaign before they go ahead and purchase a spot for months. There are also people who like saving money. This combines the best of all worlds. If you choose this option, you can get a 125×125 for only $5 a week, which is a very low amount. You can also use this option to test the waters if you’d like to see how effective the form of advertising is. Also note, you can order this for multiple weeks in advance, so take advantage while you can!
#4 - Buy Links in the RSS Feed for JUST $10 a Month!
I have never sold links in the footer of the RSS feed before, so this is an entirely new option - that’s why I’m introducing it as a bargain package. With over 500 daily readers of our RSS feed, you can get a lot of attention for just $10 a month - plus, you can order multiple months at a time if you like!
How to Purchase
With the four advertising packages above, there’s bound to be one that can help you in your advertising and marketing quests. And if there is, then I’d recommend ordering it now, because these advertising deals don’t last forever - in fact, all packages expire May 14, which gives you one month to order what you like before the deadline. But you can also order any of the packages for an extended period of time: for example, you can order a 125×125 for a couple months and keep the text link ad the same amount of time, or do the same with a link in the RSS feed as well. And when prices go up in the future, yours won’t.
If you’ve found a package, or MULTIPLE packages that you like, please email me using the contact form or at tay [at] superbloggingtips [dot] com and we can work out the details. Please note that PayPal is the only accepted form of payment available.

WordStreme – Article & Content Writing Service
April 8, 2008
Have you got a website or even a blog? Well, how often do you keep them updated with fresh, unique and interesting content…? Time consuming isn’t it…? Well, the saying goes, “content is KING”…Whether you like it or not!
We all know that content is what search engines feed on, and if you can constantly provide it, they will indeed reward you with higher SERP’s and a trail of targeted organic traffic…the holy grail on internet marketing! Not just any content, but original written material relevant to the theme of your website or blog. “An article a day, keeps the Google slappers away…“. But yes, it does require a lot of commitment to spend hours writing articles to update your online publications. Even worse if you have a portfolio of domains and websites, lying around collecting dust! In that case, you would need a lot of content, and fast! But it does pay off without a doubt, as top search engines will eventually notice your websites sudden surge of explosive content, thereby bringing you a bumped up ranking, which is what we all want!
