Is anybody using social mention for identifying present day trends in the social sphere. I have been referred it by a friend but when I went to the site it is taking too long to show me the results. Unlike, topsy which is pretty fast.

For your website to earn revenue which one do you prefer display ads or text based ads. I am trying monetize one of my blog on medicinal herbs. Display ads are good but if I place display ads then I don't think that they will be relevant to my visitors.

How much time did your blog took to run successfully?? Or, you are still struggling with it. Share your thoughts.

Forum is all about content. A forum which does not much content cannot survive no matter what niche it is in. I have come across many query these days that what type of content or the procedure of content development for a new forum. So, today I will be trying to write about some points here.

Tutorials: Most of the forum I had joined in my entire career is for a tutorial type article in it. You guys may be wondering what I am saying. Let me explain it to you. Suppose, I am searching for something which includes 'step by step guide'. I found a very good one in a forum. As, impressed by the article I visited the related sub-forums and articles of it which made even more impressed. As a result of that good impression I joined the forum.

Try to build atleast two to three tutorials and step by step guide type posts in each and every sub-forum of your board at the first. Make them sticky posts if you think that they are really important. This helps tremendously for your board to give it a strong content structure.


Discussions of common type: Discussion type posts are the most popular and common type in the message boards. When you starts a forum it needs a basic structure of discussions that includes all the debatable areas of your niche. They may be not out of the box but still there need cannot be denied. Build those common discussion type posts in order to organize a stable structure for your forum. These will work as food for your new members where they can post easily without much experience as these are very common topics.

Outbound Marketing is the oldest marketing technique of all. Is it really possible to gain or earn links from it?? Suppose, I launched a site for any kind of product or service, and then I organized outbound marketing campaigns. Will it help??

How can I get maximum CTR from my email campaigns?? I have using email campaigns but the CTR percentage is too low (below 1%). So, if anybody provide me some advices then it will be really helpful to grow my business.

I have seen many threads that says we have to submit our blogs to the social bookmarking sites in order to get well ranked. But i don't understand this that how it is going to help the SEO.

I am seeing huge fluctuations in my Google SERP's. Specially from the mid of the first week of this month. Are you guys seeing this too?? I am concerned about my rankings. Is it Penguin or Panda??
