To Get Thousands Views a Day Use Your Blog Sites

Blog sites help attract crawlers and visitors to view your articles published at other publishing sites. By sharing them to your blog sites will help boost traffics and views to your article pages as well to the websites that published them. This method is common but you can change your approach in a different way which is legal and no spamming.

Remember that we, writers are also considered as businessmen. Our products are in the form of articles, photos and videos and other awesome stuff that we always love to share to other net surfers across the Internet. Normally we always give enough time to create them before we can offer them to some paying sites. And when they are accepted for publication, our next move is not only to sit down but to promote them. We applied different methods to bring them out and reach people across the net.

The usual methods that we applied for promotion are usually by sending them out through the following media tools such as:

Through YouTube
Through Social Networks
Through Other Book Marking Sites
Through The basic way – by sending them through Emails
Through Forum Groups and other Internet Groups
Through by Sending them out to different search engines
Through by Sending them to our families, relatives and friends
While Others applied Google Ad words to advertise the products

Believe it or not, to promote our products are also as hard and difficult as when we created them. It also takes times to determine what method we will use. Last December 26, 2011, it took me almost a day to layout my plan. Yes. I applied the common way – to share them out to my blog sites. First, I done the inventory of all my published articles at Wikinut – there are about two hundred of them. And then I applied re-grouping the articles by category. And then I wrote an article about them where all the two hundred articles were included – a summary of article titles at which I inserted each valid URL links of the articles published at Wikinut. Then I posted the article to all my blog sites.

Here are the following blog sites I am maintaining everyday to promote my articles:

Now I can say blog sites are part of media tools that help promote our articles and reach hundreds and thousands of people across the Internet. The 3,483 views that my Wikinut pages received on December 27, 2011 are proof!

How to Promote and Expose Our Old Articles Through Backlinks

Image by Blogue Techno via Flickr

A backlink is any link that you put on your article in order to link back to your other article pages. This is one of the tested methods to promote and expose your old articles to people across the Internet. Stay tuned and spot - how I applied back links to expose my old published articles...

Triond is one of the best sites for your online writing and income. There are many websites powered by Triond to publish your awesome articles of different topics and subjects. And Bizcovering is one of the sites powered by Triond. The site is covering the World of Business from Real Estate to Online Business, from Employment to Management, from Commerce to Finance, from Opportunities to Sales. It brings you the business stories that you want to read. They publish articles on a range of business topics, including finance, accounting, management, marketing, advertising, investing, and many more. The below are summaries of the articles I published at Bizcovering. They are open for your visits, views and opinions.

There are many ways for a person to become rich. The best way to become rich is to find the way that works best for you. If you are a person who loves helping other people this new business system – Network Marketing – is for you.

This is a fantastic news that I would like to share to all readers and visitors. DXN recently launched a website for the ease of worldwide sponsoring and registering of new members. For those who are willing to become a new DXN member/distributor be sure at least you are 18 year old and above – male or female from anywhere in the world.

The total number of living humans on the planet Earth currently estimated to be 6.94 billion by the United States Census Bureau as of July 1, 2011. These numbers of 6.94 billion of humans are living with different lifestyles, dreams and values. And out of these numbers, there are only four different people found in the world of money, business and life.

I assume that many of you have heard this saying, Birds of the same feather flock together. That saying holds true not only for the birds but also for rich people, poor people and middle class people. In other words, the rich network with the rich, the poor network with other poor people and the middle class hangs out with the middle class.

This is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. This industry has four backbone players: the merchant, the network, the publisher and the customer. For writers this industry is another source of online income.

This is about a short review on how Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabian Oil Company) and other giant corporation like SABIC (Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corporation) help one another to ensure that wastes are properly handled in order to protect the environment of the Kingdom and the world.

From reading the book of Robert T. Kiyosaki The Business School For People Who Like Helping People, I learned that in Networking there are values that if adapted and applied to ourselves, they can help outline a better tomorrow.

From surfing the Internet, I discovered these common terms that mostly of us usually ignored them but I found them interesting.

Trivia About Jesus Christ: Happy Holidays

Image via Wikipedia

It is believed that the birth date of Jesus is December 25 but it is not considered to be an important issue among mainstream of Christian denominations; rather, it is about celebrating the coming of God into the world in the form of man to atone for the sins of humanity which is considered to be the primary meaning of Christmas.

Some trivia about the birth date of Jesus Christ and some interesting events happened after he was born. What we read from the Holy Bible and from Encyclopedias about His birth date are merely estimated dates of birth. An event that happened during that period will answer why - almost two weeks after Jesus Christ was born, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to a certain place for the child circumcision.

Before the circumcision was initiated, Joseph and Mary were asked about the name of the child - it was Joseph who replied, "Jesus." And then the circumcision followed by using a very sharp knife because at that time there was no scissors yet and no anesthesia. And Jesus had cried vehemently of great pains. After the circumcision was done, the couple left the place and headed to Bethlehem, Judea’s census section to register Jesus. However, Joseph and Mary immediately left the place and went home when they spotted that some soldiers sent by King Herod - instructing the census people to include the names of all children, their parents and date of births of all children born during that certain period. This will answer why there was no record about Jesus Christ's birth date.

Who advised Joseph and Mary to go to Egypt? In Mathew 13 - an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."

But in other source, it was the three magi who warned Joseph and Mary to leave the place immediately and go to Egypt. The event went like this: When Joseph and Mary got home; the three magi were waiting for them inside the house. When they saw the child, they bowed and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures gifts of Gold, Incense and Myrrh and presented them to the couple for the child. Then before they left the place - the three magi warned Joseph and Mary to leave the place immediately and go to Egypt to avoid from King Herod's wrath.

What pushed King Herod to kill all the children of Bethlehem who were two year old and under in accordance with the time he had learned from the three magi? There are reasons to explain about the event such as:

The three magi have failed to report to King Herod about the child and the place where Jesus was born. The three magi returned to their country by another route. King Herod believed that his power as the King for Jerusalem is forever. He did not want that a child would replace him as the new king so, he ordered his soldiers to kill all the innocents children to avoid the loss of his throne to a newborn King of the Jews whose birth has been announced to him by the Magi. Now Christians are also commemorating the Innocents Day in different dates December 27, 28 and 29 every year.

An Awesome Experience with Wikinut

Image by strovek via Flickr

At the start of December 2011, my goal was to publish at least 200 articles at Wikinut before the end of this year. I worked hard to complete my promise. Here I learned a lesson – that when a promise is made problem will follow. And that problem will measure how far I could keep my promise.

The first two weeks of December this year, I did not write continuously for Wikinut due to of my job that need my immediate concentration. First time I had experienced to work with Inventory. And I learned that inventory of available goods is done yearly during the month of December. From that event I learned how to determine Cost of Beginning Inventory at the start of the period + inventory purchases within the period + cost of production within the period = cost of goods available and the Cost of goods available − cost of ending inventory at the end of the period = cost of goods sold.

From July 28, 2010 to December 23, 2011, I published so far to 199 articles under the different categories such as writing, writing tips, travel, personal experience, business, personal finance, short story, true story, news, celebrities, humor, math and numbers, blog and blogging and many more.

These articles of 199 garnered at least 158,083 views with total earnings of 7.910 sterling pounds. And I already referred people at least 34 new Wikinut users/writers.

So far there are two payments made by Wikinut to me. First payment was made on March 8, 2011 amounting to 2.99 sterling pounds. The latest payment I received was on December 8, 2011 amounting to 3.55 sterling pounds. The total sum is 6.54 sterling pounds. Pay-pal received those payments and made some deductions amounting to 0.66 sterling pounds. So the total official payments on Pay-pal’s records is amounting to 5.88 sterling pounds.

During the month of October 2011 the following dates have attract traffics and views and I even considered them not normal:

October 9, 2011 – total views has reached so far to 2,429
October 18, 2011 – total views recorded has reached to 1,788
October 19, 2011 – total views has reached to 1,799
October 23, 2011 – the total views received were 1,121
October 26, 2011 – the total views has reached to 1,218

Out of 199 articles I published there some of them are articles about how to attract traffics and views through social networks, book marking sites, search engines and other methods such as:

They are effective and very helpful for my online writing activities.

Values of Networking

It said that Networking is really a business school that teaches values not found in traditional business schools. Values such as the best way is to teach yourself and other people to become business owners than teach them to be a loyal employee working for the rich and big companies. Networking is a place for people who want to learn the real world skills of an entrepreneur, rather than the skills of an employee who wants to become a highly paid mid-level manager in the corporate world.

From reading the book of Robert T. Kiyosaki "The Business School For People Who Like Helping People", I learned that in Networking there are values that if adapted and applied to ourselves, they can help outline a better tomorrow.

In his book, he highlighted the Eleven Values such as:

In Networking has True Equal Opportunity.
Has a Life-Changing Business Education.
There are Friends Who Will Pull You Up.
To Learn to Value of a Network.
It Helps Develop Your Most Important Business Skills.
The Value of Leadership.
The Value of Not Working for Money.
To Live with Your Dreams and Make Them Come True.
The Value of Marriage and Business
The Value of Family that Work Together with The Same Goal.
And the Value of How You can Lower Your Annual Taxes Legally.

Robert T. Kiyosaki also emphasized the beauty of Networking. He said, “One of the beauties of networking is that it gives you the opportunity to face your fears, deal with your fears, overcome your fears and let the winner in you win.”

In the world of Networking, you are encouraged to learn by making mistakes, correcting them and getting smarter mentally as well as emotionally.

Robert T. Kiyosaki Inspires Millions of People

Robert T. Kiyosaki has two great teachers: his real father taught him “how to work for money” while his Rich Dad taught him “how money will work for him.”

His biography tells that Robert T. Kiyosaki was born and raised in Hawaii. He is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After he graduated from college in New York, he joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and a helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert worked for the Xerox Corporation in sales. In 1977, he started a company that brought the first nylon Velcro surfer wallets to market.

Robert T. Kiyosaki with his wife Kim Kiyosaki and friend Sharon Lechter embarked on a journey that would afford them the opportunity to blow the financial literacy of people everywhere and to every corner of the world.

In 1985, he founded an international education company that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994, Robert T. Kiyosaki sold his business and retired at the age of 47. During his short-lived retirement, Robert, in collaboration with his co-author and business partner, Sharon L. Lechter – a CPA, wrote the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Then followed writing Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant, Rich Dad’s Guide toInvesting, Rich Dad’s Rich Kid Smart Kid, Rich Dad’s Retire Young Retire Rich and Rich Dad’s Prophecy – all of which have earned spots on the bestseller lists of The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, The New York Times, USA Today, E-Trade.com and Amazon.com.

Prior to becoming a best selling author, Robert T. Kiyosaki created an educational board game the Cashflow 101 – to teach individuals the financial strategies that his Rich Dad has spent years on teaching him. Those financial strategies allowed him to retire at the age of 47.

In 2001, the first of the series of Rich Dad’s Advisors books was released. Many professionals support Robert’s belief that business and investing are team sports. He said, “We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them. Then that they can enjoy the luxuries of this great world we live in.”

Robert T. Kiyosaki explains further that building a network marketing business is a revolutionary way to achieve wealth. it is open to everyone who has the drive, determination and perseverance. Robert T. Kiyosaki is a multi-millionaire investor, business owner, educator and a great motivational speaker.

How Effective is Triond Detector Tool to Spot Duplicate Contents

Image by Blogue Techno via Flickr

I am impressed for knowing that Triond’s detector tool to spotting duplicate contents could not really distinguish the difference between original and duplicate contents.

Yesterday, I wrote an article entitled Factoidz Changes Its Policy to Attract More Writers. The said article was intended first for Triond because I know Triond will reject duplicated items. When I finished polishing the article, I immediately submitted it to Triond for consideration and approval but what surprised me, the article was rejected. Their reasons – they spotted it as duplicate contents. How could it be? I originally wrote the article and I had not yet offered it to other paying sites.

So, I checked out the draft of the article saved on my computer desktop and started investigating the whole piece. In the article contents, I included some links of my previous published articles at Triond with some short justifications especially about my previous short review about Factoidz that was published last February 2011. But the contents of those links were differently written compared to my latest article that the site has rejected.

Of course, I honestly telling you that I felt disappointed simply because it is been a long time, I am writing with the site and that I really had that thought believing that Triond has all the capacity and power to see thoroughly the difference between original and duplicated contents. Now to compensate my hard works writing the article, I offered it to ExpertColumn and Wikinut after I made some light revisions on the titles and summaries.

Factoidz Strives to Promote an Active Community

Image by stevendepolo via Flickr

Yesterday I received an alert from Factoidz stating that they had updated their policy which previously stated that in order to keep current; a Factoidz writer has to publish at least one new article each year.

They said, "Now, all accounts will remain fully active without any time restrictions or requirements on activity. Publish once, and provided you stay within our guidelines, you'll receive earnings for that work in perpetuity. Plus, you can come back and publish anytime you'd like without needing to reinstate your account."

The site strives to promote an active community while providing a very easy way to earn passive income - and they think this new approach will brings them more in line with this goal.

They further said, "As a Reviewer, you'll have admin abilities to manage the testimonials that appear on your reviews. We've also given you a link on your Dashboard to go back and quickly rate the services you've reviewed in the past."

In other news, the site has just launched user ratings and reviews as a part of their editorial Product Reviews system. Now, in addition to reading the written review that a writer has provided, readers can add their own 5-star rating to products and services a writer covers, as well as submit their own testimonials. The site thinks that this will add a new dimension to reviews to make them more useful to potential customers.

Some of Riyadh Treks to Spend Your Weekends and Holidays

Image via Wikipedia

In Riyadh there are places outside the city which are good places for excursions like the Hidden Valley, the Red Sand Dunes and Mountain Rocks for your mountain climbing.

In my first week of work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – one thing that came to my mind was to take some trips outside the city. I wanted to visit some of the historical places, including mountains of rock and mountains of sand dunes, which are good places for excursions on weekends and holidays.

Visit to watch My Travel Trip Album

It was a Friday. With my peers, we visited on some of Riyadh’s treks. First was a trip to Hidden Valley. At five-thirty in the morning, we started our trip as no-one wants to drive under the sun.

On our way to Hidden Valley , I saw mountain of rocks standing robustly on each side of the highway. I heard the sound of winds haunting, and whispering in every corner of the mountain – calling them that the King Sun was about to rise.

Facing to the South was another spot of great beauty delighted my eyes, a red mountain of sand dunes that resembled a maiden in red, lying down with the mountain rocks at her sides and waiting for someone to come and feel her beauty.

At seven, we reached our destination, by passing through an isolated pass between high fortresses – like rock in the Tuwaiq wall. Our cars rumbled up and down with the shrubs to right, left and white dust. As we drove up the soil – covered path of the Valley between piles of gravel, was a Pinnacle Valley that called because of the pillar of rock that stands near the entrance. We stopped driving when the track got rough.

Soon, everybody left the car and went around to the area and embraced the beauty of nature. We photographed the mountains around us as our souvenirs. We also went for a hike, did some mountain climbing and had a lot of fun together.

What a wonderful place to see! I was surprisingly amazed to see such beauty that only nature can provide. Hidden Valley can easily charm you and let you believe that this place is not just a desert of sands but also a place of beautiful rocks and mountains ready to be embraced and enjoy. Most amazing of all was the absence of running water, to bathe her for added beauty. A completely dry valley but yet a surprisingly beautiful one!
