There are so many blogging platforms are available in blogosphere to start blogging with, you may choose which you like the most. I recommend WORDPRESS to start a blog. WordPress is the leading blogging platform so that beginners can find help through its wide community and forum support.Blogging Tips #8. If you are serious about blogging, Buy a domain and hosting for your blog.
If you are serious about blogging, Do not prefer subdomain and hosted platforms like wordpress.com and blogger.

An if you decide to buy web host, I will recommend “Godaddy” as the best web host for beginners.Top 18 Tricks and Tips To Make A SuperHit Blog

Top 14 Tips For Beginners To Start Blogging
1: Clearly decide your niche to blog about
Most of the beginners fails, because they don’t decide their niche. They start blogging on various niches to confirm their failure. So, before starting for any step, decide your niche to blog about.2 : Draw clear diagram of your blog on paper
Make a clear idea about look of your blog. A blog without good design and plan will look like a rough note book. So decide how your blog header will look like, how your sidebar will look like, your home page design etc. Make plan of your blog on paper and build a successful blog that rocks.3 : Decide your blogging platform
Start with the best blogging platform. Here is the list of some best blogging platforms to start blogging with. I recommend wordpress to start a blog. WordPress is most widely used blogging platform.4 : Decide your theme for blog
After deciding your blogging platform, find a theme for your blog depending on your plan (design) of blog. Selection of theme affects a lot to blog. So choose a theme very wisely.5 : Decide your categories for blogging
Before you start writing blog content, decide blog categories in which you will publish your posts. Take some time to think for it. Make a good list of categories. But don’t make too many categories for single blog. Try to make maximum 6-8 categories.6 : Don’t forget to add must have pages on your blog
To make your blog stand out, your blog must contain some pages on it before you start publishing posts like about us, contact us, legal disclaimer, affiliate disclosure, privacy policy and sitemap. These pages now-a-days are must have pages for a blog.7 : You must have at least 20 posts before starting a blog
Do not start a blog with only 2 or three posts. Write about 20 posts to publish a blog. Because no one like an empty blog if they visit. Ask yourself, do you like a blog having only 5 posts?8 : Make sure to you have written original content
Do not just copy and paste content. By this you will never get succeed. Write original content in your way. I don’t say to create a magic posts which is not exist in blogosphere, because it’s the fact that there is everything already written online on every topic. So you can pick the same topic but write it in your own words and own way. That makes different from other copy-paste bloggers.9 : You should not write what you don’t know
Write on your blog about the topic you know. Don’t write posts on topic, even you can’t discuss it with your readers. Try to be as transparent as possible with your audience.10 : Give credits wherever it requires
If you write something by taking idea from somewhere else, give credits to them. If you publish an image from other website (which allows this), give backlinks to them. Do not forget to give credits, this will represent your credits.11 : Update your blog regularly
The best key for success is to update your blog frequently and regularly. Update your blog as frequently as possible. Search engine loves fresh feeds.12 : Always connect to social medias
Socialization is very important. Build your own social presence. Connect with friends of similar interest and share knowledge. Social networking will help you a lot in your blog promotion and seo.13 : Start building e-mail list from starting
E-mail list is the most affecting factor for your money making dream. You can’t make big money without big mailing list. Your blogging money is directly proportional to the mailing list. So do not delay this task, start building your mailing list from very beginning.14 : Make sure that your blog is not full of advertisements from starting
Do not spoil your blog by putting so many ads on single page. Do some online research, which place is best to put ads. Try to keep optimum number of ad slots on a page. So mane ads on page will decrease the reader’s experience.Have I missed something? Share your points and tips for blogging for beginners via comments. And don’t forget to share this posts.

How to Register a Domain Name For Your Blog?
| 0 comments
Registering a domain name is the first practical step you will perform to start a blog. It is quite easy to register a domain name but deciding the best domain name is very confusing and brain storming process. So let’s start registering a domain name process.
What is domain name?
It is your “address” on the World Wide Web. Domain name is your online identity, shows your skills and personality.
It is your “address” on the World Wide Web. Domain name is your online identity, shows your skills and personality.
While registering a domain name Keep these Characteristics of a good domain name in Mind:-
2. your domain name should be relatively short and memorable: Register relatively short domain name. Practically, all short domain names with 4 letters are already taken. So its very hard to find a very short domain name. So, try finding a domain name which is easy to remember and short enough.
3. Your domain name should be easy to spell and hard to misspell: take care enough while registering a domain name that your domain name is easy to spell. Try to get a domain name which has no or less chance to misspell. For example, flickr. People will easily type flicker instead of flickr.
4. Your domain name should not contain hyphens: This is very important characteristic of a good domain name name. An ideal domain name should not have hyphens in it. because people will easily forget to put hyphens when typing your url in browser. Even when someone tells your domain name to other verbally, then there is a chance for communication gap and easily mistaken to put hyphens.
5. Your domain should include keyword or it must be brandable: it’s always a topic for discussion whether use a brand domain name or domain name with keywords. I have a suggestion for you. If you don’t start a blog for money, then don’t run behind keywords. get the best domain name for your brand. But if you are starting a blog for money, then its matters. You must include your keyword in domain name to rank high in search engine fast. For example, search in google for term “search”, you will find “search.com” first then google. It’s a strong proof for that. You can also try this using another keywords and realize yourself.
Now you have clear idea about which type of domain name you should think. Your next step is to think and write down a list of your preferred domain names. Write them is some variation, as there is less chance of getting the exact domain name you think. Because good and short .com extension domain names are already taken.
When your list get prepared, check for your domain name availability. If your preferred domain name is available, that’s fine. Register it. And if it is not available try some variations of your preferred domain name. check for availability and register one which is available.
List of domain name registrars prices:
There are lots of domain name registrars available. Following are a few registrar which you can trust to register a domain. Domain name registration field is very competitive so it’s prices are also vary from registrar to registrar. Therefore you check their sites while registering a domain name. Domain name will cost you about $10 – $12 per year.How to register your domain name?

How to Structure Custom Permalinks in wordpress for SEO ?
Wednesday, 7 August 2013 | 0 comments
What is Custom Permalinks?
A “permalink” is a permanent link to pages, posts and categories of your wordpress blog and it remains unchanged with the time. The term permalinks is most common in the blogosphere.
If you are a beginner blogger or new to wordpress permalinks, you can change your wordpress blog’s custom permalinks structure by navigating at: Dashboard → Settings → Permalinks
Do you know structure of your custom permalinks can affect seo of your wordpress blog? Yes, that’s why it is important to research for seo friendly wordpress custom permalinks. I had researched this for me and today I am writing my conclusion about the best custom permalinks structure for wordpress blog.
If you know seo well, you may be aware of importance of good custom permalinks. Whenever there is a debate about seo, permalinks structure gain a lot of attention. WordPress custom permalinks plays a major role in blog’s search engine rankings and overall blog optimization. I have written in detail below about effect of custom wordpress permalinks on seo.
Therefore in this post, I will tell you the best custom permalinks structure, suggest other custom structures and explain you why you should not use other permalinks structure as your custom permalinks.
Custom Permalinks And SEO
The one thing you definitely can do for seo is to choice a seo optimized custom permalinks structure and stick to it. So, there will not be a need to change the permalinks again.Assume if you have to change permalinks and blog contains hundreds of pages, how will you redirect your old links to new links? Do this with the help of a plugin which helps you in this matter and don’t hurt your blog’s seo and traffic. And finally check for 404 pages.
But the best way is to take a time to think about your permalinks structure before creating a blog. Permalink which are not redirected correctly hurts your blog seo badly.
Below I have explained different types of wordpress permalinks structures and their effect on blog seo.
Different Types Of
WordPress Custom
Permalinks Structure
Here I have listed different type of permalinks structures for your wordpress blog with its pros and cons. So that it will be very easy for you to decide your custom permalinks structure for your growing blog.(1) Default WordPress Permalink Structure
By default wordpress offers permalinks like:In this format, every post will be recognized by its post id which will provide no idea to the readers or search engines on which topic the post is about.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/?p=123
Having no keywords in permalinks will hurt your blog’s seo. So, it is not good to use it and it’s not seo friendly.
Most of the beginner bloggers start a wordpress blog and write a good blog post but forget to change the default wordpress permalinks structure to seo friendly custom permalinks structure and miss out optimization of wordpress custom permalinks for seo.
(2) Day And Name WordPress Permalinks Structure
This permalinks structure will look like:This will arrange the posts according to the date and then name of the post. This may be considered as a good permalinks structure. This is the most widely used wordpress permalinks structure.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/2012/07/27/sample-post/
As this permalink include the date in it, PHP does not has to scan whole wordpress directory, it will scan only the particular date and shows required post fast when a search query is made. This reduce the blog loading time which is good for seo.
But I will not suggest you to use this type of permalinks structure. As this permalinks structure include date, month and year, it occupies text area in url and dilute the url heavily.
There is no any issue if your domain name is short but if your domain name is long, you will lose your keyword competition by adding keywords in the last of permalinks. Because google only displays first 70 characters of url in serps.
Other thing I don’t llike about this structure is it tells your reader how old your blog post is! Therefore you will lose some readers only because of your permalink structure. You will get better seo benefits by using other recommended custom permalinks structure.
(3) Month And Name WordPress Permalinks Structure
This wordpress permalinks structure will look like:this permalink structure resembles the above permalink structure except the date part. This month and name wordpress permalinks structure is better than the above day and name permalinks structure.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/2012/07/sample-post/
Its pros and cons are same as above except it is less diluted than above due to date deletion from it.
(4) Numeric WordPress Permalinks Structure
This wordpress permalinks structure will look like:This will display the article direct from the archives pack. So, it will increase your blog loading time.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/archives/123
But as it includes only post id in it, you will lose keyword inclusion advantage and hurt your seo.
I do not recommend this type of permalinks structure.
(5) WordPress Custom Permalinks Structure
You can customize permalinks according to you needs. You will find different kinds of customized wordpress permalinks structures for different wordpress blogs. Below I have listed the most widely used custom permalinks structure for wordpress blog:(I) [/%category%/%postname%/]
(II) [/%category%/%postname%/%post_id%/]
(III) [/%postname%/%post_id%/]
(IV) [/%postname%/]
(I) [/%category%/%postname%/]
This custom permalinks structure will look like:Including a category in the url is the good seo practice. It helps you to rank higher for your category keywords. But as I told you before if your domain name contains more characters, avoid using this custom permalinks structure.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/blogging-tips/write-a-blog/
If you want to use this structure, be sure to choose a category names short and meaningful.
(II) [/%category%/%postname%/%post_id%/]
This custom permalinks structure will look like:This custom permalinks structure is seo friendly, contains keyword, no date included and fulfils the requirements for the google news blog (url must include unique number), So this is a good wordpress permalinks structure. If you want to use this structure, be sure to choose a category names short and meaningful.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/blogging-tips/write-a-blog/123/
But the issue with this type of url is that starting a permalink with the category, author, tag or post name fields is not good for performance. It makes your blog a little slow. Because wordpress will have to run more queries to show this post. I do not recommend it.
(III) [/%postname%/%post_id%/]
This type of wordpress custom permalinks structure will look like:It has more pros and less cons than above type of permalinks structure. The best thing about this permalinks structure is that it includes post name (keyword), seo friendly, no date included and the major thing is it fulfills all requirements for google news blog.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/write-a-blog/123/
I recommend this wordpress permalinks structure for those who wants to start a google news blog.
(IV) [/%postname%/]
This type of custom permalinks structure will look like:This custom permalinks structure is the best for keyword optimization. And gives priorities in search engine rankings. This structure is very seo friendly, no date included and makes permalinks short and simple.http://modern-hacking-tricks.com/write-a-blog/
Post name custom permalinks is short, simple and has nothing in it which will affect your search engine optimization.
Which Is The Best Custom Permalinks Structure
Accordind to the research I have done, [/%postname%/] type custom permalinks is the best wordpress custom permalinks structure.And if you have a short and meaningful categories, [/%category%/%postname%/] type custom permalinks is the second choice to use.
