RssToBlog Alternatives

Monday, July 14th, 2008

There is lot of auto blog posting solutions in the market, Blog solution, Blog Slammer, Blag Matrix, Niche in the box and BlogToRank are some of the popular one.

Blog Solution will install massive blogs both in domain and subdomain. Fully web based application. Leave plenty of foot prints so it can get banned by SE easily. Need some template designing skills.

Blog Slammer: Desktop and web based solution, works with only wordpress blogs. Posting in craiglist, creating the unique contents from the seed document + Rss Feeds combination is the highlight of this auto blog poster.

Blog Slammer comes with content rewriting engine

Seed document + RSS FEEDs for unique content? If you ever used the automated content rewriting tools to keep your blog posting unique, then you know the value of this cool feature. Rewriting tools often deliver inhuman writings and can be read only by SE. Rather rewriting the content the Blog Slammer mix the RSS feeds with Seed document you provide. The output would be very unique and almost 50% the way you expected. After all it is generated by some stupid programming code. What else you expect.

You can assign one or more seed documents for one blog or one RSS url. Hi! Blog slammer comes with keyword highlights and auto linking feature too. One more SEO feature which I found missing in BlogToRSS, BlogToRank tools. That is customizing your post using templates. Using this BlogSlammer template you can rearrange the RSS title, Descriptions and even include main keywords and dynamic links between the RSS Description. Man! you bet on this to reach the #1 on google by scraping other’s contents.

Sample Blog Slammer RSS Template

Check the Blog Slammer in action

Blog Matrix
If you are into affiliate marketing and like to generate 1000 of meaningless affiliate key word targeting sites, then blog matrix would be the best option. Blog Solution and Blog matrix both are identical. However, Blog matrix doesnt create the dynamic blogs under subdomain.

BlogToRSS

Please check my previous post on BlogToRss review.

BlogToRank

Both Desktop and Web based solution. Desktop solution need .Net 3.0, relatively cheap with other auto bloggers just $ 50.00. But lack many cool features, like auto phrase link, template adding multiple signature and more. I will write a dedicated review on BlogToRank. When i talk about BlogToRank, the immediate thought that hover my mind is customer support. This guys support is pretty bad, I am very sorry to say Jim. I posted a defect in their customer support site, first they were asserting it is functioning as designed and advertised. Later couple of more email exchange, he asked me to give a try on advanced web based version. Guys! come on! Since from starting I had bad time with them. After succesfull purchase and software download they took almost 2 weeks to activate the installation key. Only after I raised the dispute with PayPal. But for $50.00 it is very cheap, I still recommend it. If my link building blogs are in bloggers space, I don’t mind having having a copy of blogToRank.

Use colors to bring the emotion

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

I always had  question about why fast food interiors are decorated by orange in color. Also why INGdirect.com associated the Orange color with saving account type…Why my respected Chinese manager Ms Maria parker always in red outfit …. All my Y has been washed away today..

Yes! Americans interpret the Orange color with warmth, safe, rescue, quick and vibrant emotion.  So its all about marketing…

What colors means to an USA consumer?

Red –excitement, strength, sex, passion, speed, danger.
Blue –(listed as the most popular color) trust, reliability, belonging, coolness.
Yellow –warmth, sunshine, cheer, happiness
Orange — playfulness, warmth, vibrant
Green — nature, fresh, cool, growth, abundance
Purple –royal, spirituality, dignity
Pink — soft, sweet, nurture, security
White –pure, virginal, clean, youthful, mild.
Black –sophistication, elegant, seductive, mystery
Gold — prestige, expensive
Silver — prestige, cold, scientific

Yea! :)  copied  from  Internet Branding strategy. Good reading.

Push Marketing with Adsense

As per Hoffman and Novak , that consumer who perceive their navigation skills to be below challenge become anxious in digging the sites which has poor navigational capability. The tired consumer either exit from the environment or move to less challenging websites if presented one. Such  tired stressed but needy consumer can buy from anyone even there is a slightest information about what they are looking. Such audience can be targeted effectively by push marketing. Search Advertising technique target such potential customers and perform better with higher conversion rate.

Based on the Push marketing technique, google team built the adsense on decision support systems which counts your ad content, targeted keywords and bid amount, and push the ad whenever a visitor search your targeted keyword.

Buying a Text Link In Ebay

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Ebay Text LinkEBay become profitable dumping of every one garage store. I found cheap site wide links for 4.99$ for three months. The site has more than 500 indexed pages. It is one of the best deal that I ever got.

Buy Text Link at Ebay

That site created 3 years ago which i verified from Way back machine www.archive.org

All those years the site is talking about SEO, Search Engine Submission and Web hosting.

I also verified the IP address of the site to confirm whether it is on shared hosting or not. Unfortunately that site is running on Shared hosting more than 76 sites are hosted on that C IP class. Verified all those sites to confirm that they are not hosting any adult material.
Find all the web sites running on shared hosting IP address Went through all previously published links as well as their anchor text. All of them 25 character long and where using only alpha characters in thier link.

To stay out from other link crowd I have decided to include a number in my anchor link. Also included the keyword for higher Search engine ranking.

Conversion of Google Referrals Products!!

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Google referral products Conversion
When I logged in google adsense account there is a congratulation message claiming that my account has been upgraded to display the google referral products.

Thought i can display few such products on my site ( “Maharishi university”, “Don’t go to dentist”) but no conversion at all.

I can see people anxiously click on those ads but not buying anything from the target site.

Sooner or later i will not be surprised to see the hyped emails from google saying ” Read the success story of internet marketer who become millionaire in overnight by selling google referral products” :D Like  “Joel comm” and “Patric chan” internet marketing emails  :D
Same thing goes to amazon product too. I am using amazon XML webservice to display the relevant books and DVDs.  From my tracker i could see that more than 300 clicks/ has been made on Amazon referral products with zero sales.

Is those products landing page is not convincing or am i presenting to pleasure browsers? need to find out.

Better change to something else i guess?

Web site to learn link Building strategy

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Back link directoryFinally I bought a new website to learn how to get the hands on experience on link building strategy. www.holdyourlinks.com is an paid web directory, purchased for $850.00 in site point. I should admit that i didn’t do enough home work before buying this site.

I acquired this Backlinks directory 4 months ago. When I bought that web directory the rank was 330,000. But with in 2 weeks the alexa rank surged to 530,000. Had a feeling that seller might have used some robots to increase Alexa ranking to get the better price.Left the site un attended for couple of month, received no revenue.

Then paid $100.00 to redesign the site.

And paid $175.00 to get link PR7 link for just one month.

Nothing brought any revenue.

Then tried a signature link in digitalpoint for 35$/month and another digital signature in ibuytools for 20$/month

I think that brought some $20.00 revenue.

Currently working on getting 50 forum post and 5o blog comments.

Also keeping my hand crossed for Googe page rank update. I don’t know when the internet marketing god going to update the page rank.

Forgot to mention
This month September 2007

I paid $65.00 to do the 11 blog post on following keywords
Backlinks directory, entertainment directory and Casinos directory, Top web directory

http://webmasters.directorycritic.com/ = $20.00/month

http://www.ensuredirectory.com/ = $69.00 / 3 month

Currently site gets 30 unique visitor a day,

Site rank #3 to

Backlinks directory, Organic web directory
Need to tweak some more so i can increase the traffic.

How to increase the traffic?
