Great reads ending 20th September 2009

  1. Do Not Upgrade to Thesis Theme 1.6b (beta) Until You Read This First – After finding out Thesis 1.6b was out, I smiled at the fact that I had a Developer’s Licence which meant I could get access to the drop down navigation menu earlier than Personal Licence holders. So I set to it – for this site. Several hours later I have successfully upgraded to Thesis 1.6b (beta version) – PHEW!!
  2. Easily Record What People Are Searching For On Your WordPress Blog With Search Meter WordPress Plugin – Here is another SEO related wordpress plugin – Search Meter. Search Meter lets you easily record what people are searching for on your wordpress blog. It will show you the search keywords that people are searching for in last couple of days and in last week or month.
  3. Thesis 1.6 Make Thesis customization Easy – I have been telling you about Thesis theme a lot and the point here is Its SEO benefit and neat and clean typography.
  4. Do you love blogging? – Whenever I meet or talk to any blogger, first question that comes to my mind is why they choose their career as a blogger?
  5. Making Money Online Swiping Ideas – When it comes to making money online, there are literally unlimited ways to go about accomplishing that goal. But the smart internet entrepreneur is always keeping a close tab on what other successful online marketers are up to with their business.
  6. Ten reasons you suck at blogging – Now you have to admit that this post has  a pretty funny title but the first point is that you have to take some risks sometimes with your titles.  A title MUST obviously be attractive enough to a wide range of people in order to gain some reach.
  7. Don’t Be Afraid To Say I Don’t Know – Let’s face it, you know a lot about your niche but you don’t know it all. Don’t be afraid to say I don’t know the answer to your question. Personally I rather say I don’t know than answer a question with the wrong answer.
  8. 5 Reasons For and Against Making Your Blog Multi-Author – It took some time and patience, but I now have a great system in place and am really glad I expanded to a multi-author blog. In this article, I’m going to tell you about the benefits and drawbacks of having a multi-author blog.
  9. 50 Ways To Drive Huge Traffic from YouTube – YouTube in a way can turn out to be a gold mine for internet marketers. It can be a great source for free website traffic & most of you must would have seen plenty of YouTube videos in the search results for some of the most competitive keywords.
  10. Importance & Tips to Create a Personal Advertise Page – Now that we are very sure of what we are going to gain from the blog advertising page, now we will focus on how to make an Advertising page fruitful one.

Final Thought

I have been so busy the last few days that I’ve struggled to keep great reads that I have found. Although saying that, I did mention a couple this week and hope that the authors are happy.

George,
I would say the upgrade was good for you. The site looks great, and I am sure you are improving with every new addition. The colors are aesthetically pleasing, and I am sure you will be listing the many advantages of Thesis in your posts in the near future.

Congratulations!
