This guest post is by the Web Marketing Ninja. When it comes to conversion rate optimization, it’s easy to read about, and think about. But when it comes to actually running a test, most people are at a loss. It’s not that we don’t believe in testing; it’s that there’s barely enough time in the day [...]

This guest post is by Tommy Walker of Tommy.ismy.name. “How do I get more people to interact with my stuff?” It’s a question I ask myself constantly. I could go on all day about traffic strategies, guest posting, or any number of online marketing topics. But the truth is, at the end of the day, shares, [...]

I’ve been excitedly sitting on this one for a while now and am relieved to finally announce a new ProBlogger event that is coming up for Melbourne Food and Wine Bloggers (and anyone else who wants to travel to Melbourne for an evening). The event is being held in collaboration with my good friend Shane [...]

This guest post is by the Blog Tyrant. A few weeks ago I was sitting down to dinner with my big sister, and talking about one of my web businesses. “What’s your quotation success rate?” she asked me with a face full of pizza. “Pretty good,” I replied, sounding—I admit—pretty stupid. “Find out exactly what it [...]

Of all the topics that bloggers ask me about, conversion optimization is among those at the top of the list. All of us have conversion goals of some sort. It doesn’t matter whether you’re aiming to make money blogging, or you’re in it purely for pleasure, you’ll probably want to grow a subscriber list at [...]

This guest post is by Ceri Usmar of Enduracom. I know what you’re thinking… Who has time for a conference? You do! You can and should carve out the time for some professional development, and conferences are a great opportunity to combine work and play. I headed off to the SheCon Expo new media conference in [...]

This guest post is by Danny Iny of Firepole Marketing. Let’s be real for a second. There’s a lot of information out there about traffic. Tons of it. Entire blogs. Some good, some bad, and some just in between. And tons of posts about it, too—including right here on this blog. So with all this information [...]

The Naked Marketing Guide to Getting Dramatically More Traffic and Subscribers
Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:03 am
This guest post is by Karol K of ThemeFuse. Right now WordPress powers 48 of the top 100 blogs online. More than that, WordPress actually powers 19% of the web as a whole. Essentially, this is great. Such a strong community of users and developers means that the platform is sure to evolve even further [...]

This guest post is by Steve of thecodeofextraordinarychange.com. I’m a quiet man. Shy in some circumstances. I like my own company and my own time. Left unchecked, these qualities would be enough to ensure that I lived out the rest of my life as a small man in a tiresome job, never making a difference and never [...]

At the start of this month, I began releasing details of this year’s ProBlogger Training Day. This is a big event for me and my team, and there’s a lot to organize. The Training Day won’t take place until October, but already we’ve spent months organizing speakers, booking venues, releasing earlybird tickets, and so on. [...]

This guest post is by Nick Thacker of Livehacked.com. We’ve all had that feeling of impending doom: “My readers are expecting me to post tomorrow, but I haven’t even answered my emails, check my Analytics stats, or responded to the Twitter shout-outs. There’s just no way I can get it all done…” Or something like [...]

This guest post is by Carol Tice of Make a Living Writing. You’ve probably heard that adding multimedia to your blog is a great way to grow your audience. But if you’re like me, and technology makes you assume the fetal position and cry like an overtired baby, you may have put off the idea. The [...]

This guest post is by Anurag Bansal of Techacker. Owners of WordPress.org blogs don’t get the flexibility to post by email through a WordPress service. It’s very surprising to see that such a popular platform doesn’t offer a native way of creating blog post by sending an email—especially since WordPress.com owners can update their blogs using [...]

This guest post is by Greg Digneo of Sales Leads in 30 Days. “What can I learn from the business life of Steve Jobs that will help me grow my blog?” We’ve all asked ourselves the question. Because the public nature of blogging goes against his strict privacy policy, this isn’t an easy question to [...]

This guest post is by Keith Bishop of Online Digital Junkie. Google’s Panda Update, as well as the recent post from Darren about hosting a guest post series, has prompted me to take a deeper look into the implementation and search benefits associated with putting series on my own sites.

This guest post is by Stephen Guise of Deep Existence. It was July, 2011. My personal development blog, Deep Existence, was flying high. Every new post I published would get at least 20-30 comments and a good number of social shares. Not world-class blogger numbers, but pretty good for a young blog (five months) and [...]

I always find it fascinating to look at which posts go viral (or at least, which get shared the most) on my blogs. It isn’t always the ones that you expect! Here are a few of the recent posts on my dPS blog that have done better than others over the last month, along with [...]

7 Hot Posts on My Blog this Month, and Why They Were Successful
Sunday, May 20, 2012 1:07 pm
This guest post is by Conor Powers-Smith of Factbrowser.com. Blog posts, whitepapers and other shareable content rely on supporting data—not because people just love a good color-coded pie chart (though they are pretty), but because numbers give stories shape. They add scale. They provide perspective. They quantify that something meaningful is happening. Think about it: which [...]

This guest post is by Sean Davis of SDavisMedia.com. Blogs do not produce income. Simply writing and publishing content does not increase your bank account balance. The idea that money is a direct result of blogging is a myth that the best bloggers have dismissed, but most choose to treat it as a law of [...]
