  • Entrecard Out, CMF Ads In

    I have recently switched my advertising at the top of my right sidebar from Entrecard to CMF Ads. While Entrecard was great to me when I started my blog, I felt it had run it’s course and it was time to switch.

    Similar to Entrecard, CMF Ads allows me to display ads from those wishing to advertise on my site using a square 125px banner. While many may look at the widget and think it is the same as Entrecard, you will be mistaken. In this post I will look at CMF Ads and discuss the differences between CMF Ads and Entrecard.

  • Blog Ad Networks: Quantity or Quality Traffic?

    In a few months Technically Easy will have been around for two years. Within those two years I have switched blogging platforms, tried many themes, and tried several advertising networks. It seems like there is a new ad network created each day, offering something a little different than the current crop of networks. Some of the statistics published by the ad networks are about traffic, and how much traffic you can drive to your blog.

    In recent months I have tried three different advertising networks: Entrecard, Adgitize and CMF Ads. I am currently using CMF Ads, which you can see in my sidebar. I have recently decided to have look at the traffic stats for each network over a month period to see how they compare. Let’s have a look.

  • How to Upgrade a Laptop Hard Drive

    I recently had an issue with my wife’s laptop. It was running out of disk space. I tried to clean up as much as I could, but after viewing where most of disk space went, I realized it was a losing battle. The problem was I like to take a lot of digital photos, and then upload them on the laptop so my wife could enjoy them. Unfortunately, a 120 GB hard drive just doesn’t have the disk space when it comes to digital photos.

    The solution was to upgrade to a much larger hard drive. When I upgrade a hard drive I usually start over with a freshly formatted drive. This time, however, I wanted to just move everything over to the new hard drive and install it without having to reinstall everything. After a few hours, the new hard drive was installed and all applications still worked without any problems. Read on to find out how I did it.

    Blog Engage: RSS Syndication and Money Earner

    A few months ago I joined a community that allows me to share my blog posts to a much larger community, while at the same time meeting new bloggers. The community is Blog Engage is is a great service to register with if you manage a blog.

    When I first started I didn’t know what to expect, so I did spend some time learning the ropes. At first I thought it was just another blog-related community, where members come, talk about everything under the sun, and then leave. I eventually learned it was a way to share the content of your blog easily, and effortlessly.

  • HeadSpace Dominates All In One SEO Pack – Here’s Proof

    HeadSpace Dominates All In One SEO Pack – Here’s Proof

    Antonio Coleman always advise new visitors to his site to start here first if they need help learning more about my blog. Plus if you need SEO services to out rank the competition, then it’s best to stop by and learn how SEO is able to grow your site.

    First I will like to thank Paul for give me the opportunity to entertain her readers for a few minutes with a post that I think will change the way you write titles on your blog.

    SEO Plugin Wars

    For years now people have been going crazy over what big brother Google needs when it comes to seo. Now I’m not going to get all into link building and stuff like that, because this post is only about how HeadSpace dominates All In One SEO Pack.

    But saying that, I will say SEO is changing faster then the leaves on the tress are changing from season to season. People are paying big money to use these so called special software’s that will make your keyword search and link building campaign an easy task.

    I’m here to show that you can really get great results by using these so called free stuff that’s available online. These things are the good old plugins we use each and every day to make off blogs competitive with others sites.

    Look this is not another of those top 10 post on which plugins will bring you the most traffic or something. I will describe how installing one free plugin and using it in the correct way can bring you some great free traffic from Google and friends. Let’s Go…

    HeadSpace Or All In One SEO Pack

    For those of you who are new to blogging, then I will suggest you to start here first if you want to get a better understanding of the top topics of blogging. But for those of you who do, then I want to break down these top two SEO plugins for making the best SEO titles.

    Now most people who have a blogging platform mostly talk about the All In One SEO Pack Plugin. The reason for this is because it’s promoted more then any other SEO plugin out there.

    If I had to put a number on it then I will say about 65% of the blogs online use it. This plugin will help you setup what we call a SEO titles which you can implement your keyword into.

    You might ask yourself what’s the big deal in having my keyword in the title. For one it shows Google and friends what that post is about and helps with your over all SEO ranking. Like I said earlier that backlinks play a part in ranking so we don’t have to cover that at this time.

    I won’t be getting into the functions of both of these plugins because I can be here all day. So in a nut shell I will say they both work in the same but with just a few differences here and there. The main job of these plugins are to help you create great SEO titles that will be attractive to the search engine to help you gain great ranking position.

    Which One Do I Use?

    To be honest with you it’s not that much of a difference in theses plugins, but I use HeadSpace for a couple of reason. For one it’s easy to use and I never had a problem with it over the years.

    All In One SEO Pack is really easy to use also and have some awesome function that makes life just that much easier. Unfortunately I don’t use this plug because it has an upgrade section where you can unlock more functions. With something like that it just turned me off, so basically I’m sticking with HeadSpace and the results have been crazy good and here’s why.

    First I will like to say that HeadSpace has been downloaded 432,928 times and All In One SEO Pack has been downloaded over 7,979,582 times. So you can just make your choice off those mind boggling stats.

    HeadSpace Mega Search Traffic

    Back on Apr 12, 2011 I decided to post about the new IPhone 5G which was a guest post from one of my best friends which he’s a tech guy. He wanted my readers to get a birds eye view on this new gadget people where going crazy over.

    I used HeadSpace to edit my title to get it in the best SEO spot as I could. I submitted the post just as he gave it to me which has a title of “iPhone 5G Ground Breaking Technology Is Coming Soon”

    Next what I did was post the content and big brother Google did the rest of the work. For about two days the post was not ranked, but on the third day this post went straight to the top of the search engine for the given keyword “Iphone 5G”

    The power of HeadSpace gave me the opportunity to pick a title that included the keyword we wanted to target and plus we used the keyword in the tags which was another big help and something that HeadSpace provides as a option.

    What About Traffic?

    One of the things about doing SEO is that you must be able to get some traffic at some point. The reason why All In One SEO Pack and HeadSpace are so popular, is because they allow you to control the out look of creating SEO titles for higher ranking.

    So over the last three months this post has been able to get almost 2000k worth of traffic from the search engines just by us installing HeadSpace which gave us a chance to write SEO targeted titles.

    To make this as crazy as it sounds, we did little to no SEO on the page to get it ranked. So we think most of the SEO boost was from the HeadSpace plugin which is free to use and can help make your blog post rank just a little higher.

    I’m not saying that All In One SEO Pack is not capable of given you the same, or better, results. We’re just trying to say that whatever SEO plugin you use, make sure you do real research and find those keywords that brings you traffic so these plugins can work the best for you.

    Today is the day you make the choice on making one of these your main platform of building a successful blog by posting blog post at a time.
