Blog And Ping....the Basics!
By Terry Till, Sat Dec 10th

The buzz words on the internet at the moment are Blogging andPinging and according to the internet guru’s we should all belooking at these as the must have system to be attractingvisitors to our site and consequentially making revenue.

At first glance you may be forgiven for thinking that this is anew comedic duo just bursting on the entertainment scene, butseriously what is Blogging and Pinging and how will it help usto become a viable internet site owner and if indeed an internetmarketer, make a serious income online.

Put in its most simplistic terms a Blog is an online discussionweb site that allows both you the web owner and your visitors tovoice their opinion on a specific subject. When starting a BlogI would suggest that you aim

at providing information andcommenting on a targeted niche subject rather than a generalisedmatter. For instance rather than run a Blog on dogs why notspecialise on Welsh Corgi’s or some other breed. This will be ofinterest to Welsh Corgi owners and will result in your blogacquiring a steady flow of targeted and interested visitors.

Pinging, is in effect a method of informing the Blog communityat large that your Blog site is in existence and with most Blogsoftware a device that alerts this Blog community when a newpost or comment has been made.

If you are interested in starting a Blog there are manycompanies that will provide you with a fairly easy solution toget started and one of the major players is Blogger.com, also ifyou are interested in putting the Blog software on your ownserver and running it independently I have found Wordpress to beexcellent software and this can be downloaded at wordpress.org.

So happy Blogging and Pinging to you all.
