Dragon Blogger: A Technotainment Wonder

There are several blogs that I enjoy reading, either directly or through an RSS reader. Some blogs I read because the author of the blog has years of experience, and writes about their experiences so that their readers can learn from them. Other blogs I read I do so because they have a lot of information on various subjects that I am interested in, but may not be subjects that I can apply to my blog.

For me, one particular blog that I enjoy read is Dragon Blogger, mostly because the author – Justin Germino – leads a similar life to me (IT industry professional and family man) and as very similar interests (technology).

What they don’t tell you is that even though it’s theoretically possible to become a millionaire blogging superstar it’s certainly not going to be easy.

5 Ways To Find Free Images For Your Blog

Here are five ways that you can get free images for your blog. People often pay for their images because it is illegal to infringe the rights of another person’s creative work. This means that if you use an image that belongs to another person then you can be sued. Some people sell their images and that is why some blog owners buy their pictures. Below are five legal ways you can get free images.

No method of getting free images is fool proof, so if someone sends you a message telling you to cease and desist then you should seek advice upon what to do next. This is especially true if you own the image, because it may mean that someone has stolen and sold your image to another person.

The Pros and Cons of Using Keywords in Domain Names

To use a keyword in the domain name or to not is one of the age-old questions that people in the SEO world can’t really agree on. On one side we have people who would say that it is very important and as much as possible a must-do. The other half is convinced that this practice is overrated and is in fact not that helpful in increasing page rank.

The fact that Matt Cutts said in Google’s YouTube video blog that Google intends to reduce the importance or weight of keywords in domains as far as ranking is concerned further reinforces the belief of the latter.

On the other hand, it would also be foolish to completely disregard the benefits that one can get from having keywords in domain names. Any reliable SEO company or team knows that. However, they do have to weigh the pros and cons of incorporating into the domains of their websites the keywords they are trying to rank in because the truth is, there are also many websites that have become successful thanks in part to keyword domains.

Websites For People Who Have Already Made It

When you look at all the people who work online and have websites, generally they will fall into only a few demographics. They tend to be young people, mostly male, who aren’t overly happy in their jobs and are trying to get out, or younger still who are trying to ‘make it’ online before they have to ever go into the world of work. These are the people who see working online as a chance to make their dreams happen – to make some money, maybe to get some fame and hopefully impress some girls/guys along the way too.

The good news is that if you know what you’re doing then this really is a way to achieve those things and there are plenty of examples of people who have – I’m not saying that you should stop chasing the dream if that describes you, rather what I’m doing is calling other people to join in.

Specifically I’m talking about the people who have already ‘made it’ – the celebrities, the wealthy business men and women and the people who were just fortunate enough to have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Why? Because those groups are perfectly poised to literally take over the web and to make it big time and if they aren’t acting on that ability then they’re currently squandering a position that most of us other webmasters would give our left leg to be in. Allow me to explain…
