What Wikipedia Can’t Tell You About Blog Hosting

A web property is similar to real estate property in that someone owns them

When it comes to web property, that is obviously content and designs created by a person or company on domains, on social media and in the public online realm.

Just like tangible property, a blog should grow in value over time, either in the number of people it reaches on a daily basis or in the amount of revenue it brings in. In the perfect world, it achieves both traffic and income goals.

20+ Free Image Sources for Your Blog

As bloggers, it’s all too easy to over focus on our words, opinions, and what we publish. After all, it’s the words that the search engines crawl for rankings and that drive people back again and again.

However, imagery is another incredibly important – and all too often – overlooked element.

For one, images help to assign meaning to your posts and to give context visually. For another, they help to break up the text and make your post more aesthetically pleasing – which helps to retain visitors and secure new visitors’ initial interest. That pleasing aesthetic and visual element is critical to making your posts appealing and “sticky” – and is a must-have for a quality blog post.

Here are 20+ places where you can search and download free legit images for your blog.

How to grow without Google Search?

Hey we all knew Google traffics are sweet. But building an online business solely on Google search traffics is not a smart move. 

Google is just way far from consistent – and consistency and reliability are important. 

Too many sites have been unwittingly turned upside down overnight when Google updates its algorithms. Not only do the algorithm changes mean needing to find how to increase your ranking with the new algorithm; it also means that your previously great search listing might now be all but invisible.

All of this considered, there are numerous ways to grow your blog and increase traffic outside of Google’s organic search listings – and if you want to learn how – go check out my first guest post on +Shane Barker – where I shared three of my best tips in growing a blog without Google Search (featuring a few examples including my guest post on +Adam Connell blog).
