$5 Niche Blog Blow Out, Till The End Of March Only
Mar 19th
A friend of mine recently referred me to a site named Fiverr.com, where people post all sorts of things they would do for 5 dollars. It’s a fun and interesting site, and it got me to thinking.
Why not offer a $5 blog here on G34 Media for my readers and visitors, who might be looking to get one.
The catch?
There’s a tiny catch, but a very reasonable one. You need to sign-up with hosting through me, as this way I get a small commission which offsets my precious time.
SEO For WordPress Bloggers
Nov 8th
Below are my top five SEO tips for WordPress bloggers.
1. Install an SEO plugin on your blog - such as the powerful All-in-One Seo or the newer more robust Platinum SEO. These two take care of alot of the basic onsite search engine optimization you need on your blog posts and pages. (this mostly applies to WordPress bloggers)
2. Get Backlinks – it doesn’t matter if your blog is a day old or 3 months old, you can never start too early to hunt down for link opportunities. Start with relevant directories.
3. Link To Yourself – Well not exactly. What I mean is make sure you regularly link to other articles, pages and blog posts you’ve written. This creates a spider web effect that search engines know and rely on.
4. Install a Sitemap – Sitemaps are literally maps to the content on your blog, and Google loves them. My favorite way to add a sitemap to my blogs is with the Dagon Design sitemap plugin. Fast, easy and free.
5. Use a Related Posts Plugin – this action produces similar results as installing a sitemap. It lets Google know of the content on your site and how it relates to the overall topic of your blog.
These are basic but powerful ideas, don’t underestimate any of these tips. If you haven’t yet added or practiced these SEO tips, now is a great time.
You’ll rise to the top in no time.

Ebook Reader Blog
Oct 17th
What is the most sought after gadget this Christmas season? If you guessed ebook readers, then you would be correct.
If you guessed rudolph the red nosed reindeer, you would be incorrect.
Ever since Amazon came out with its glorious Kindle, all heck broke loose in the ebook industry. And this was in 2007. Since then we have the Sony Reader, several models of the Kindle including Kindle 2 and Kindle DX. And just recently to spice things up Barnes And Noble threw plans for a color ebook reader called (Athena NOOK) into the foray, followed by the electrifying announcement of a solar powered ebook reader from LG.
Yes, the ebook reader industry is mega red hot!!!
I created a new blog entitled ebookreaderguide.com to chronicle the happenings of the awesome ebook reader industry and to provide a guide to the various ebook readers on the market. As I mentioned earlier, lots of people want an e-reader this Christmas but are confused as to which one to buy. This is the primary function of my new blog – to provide tips and information to consumers on which ebook reader is best for them.
The blog is powered by WordPress (of course) and it features a gorgeous WordPress theme with a lot of social networking apps built-in, plus a very cool back end (admin options) area.
