How do you know that other bloggers are talking about us on their blog? Normally we will monitor it through incoming links by using wordpress dashboard. But how about if other bloggers never link to our blog? This is quite important for us to trace who is talking about us, and what are they talking about. From there we know our impression in the eyes of others. Also help us to improve our social networking.

How to monitor terms or stories?

Now you can monitor terms or stories that you interested via Google Alerts. Once login to Google Alerts link, create new alert by put in your search terms, monitoring type, how often and your email address. With this alert, you will receive notification when others talk about you, even they never link back to you. It’s a powerful tool, isn’t it? (more…)

Comments in a post can tell you know the post popularity and how
active is your readers. Recently, I have posted an article about design your own logo on
LiewCF.com and it brought about 10 comments within hours. This means
LiewCF really made well relation with his readers, also the readers
are active in this blogsphere.

How to get more comments?

There are 7 ways I would like to share with you:

1. Ask for their opinion
When you post an article, do not close the article with only your own conclusion. Give some space for your reader to post their comment. As for me, I always use the question like ” How about you? What is your opinion? What do you think?”. These question really make your readers start to think rather than feed them, and they might reply their opinion to you by comment in your post.

2. Put in interesting topic
Put in some content that can use for discussion, which do not have absolute answer. For example, my previous post about HD DVD vs Blu-ray , this is an interesting topic for discussion that do not have an absolute answer at this moment. It is more to readers’ need and usage. There are more interesting topics that you can write about, for example: digital or analogue, comparison between softwares and etc.

3. Respond to their comment
Once your readers comment in your post, you must respond to their comment in positive way. This way make your readers like to comment their opinion, their question and definitely build a relation between readers and author. When your post are lively, more people will start to comment.

4. Reward them
Some blog did launch for contest for their top commentators. Frankly speaking I myself did launched a contest after my 1st month blogging. There are more ways to reward them , such as install a top commentators widget on your blog’s sidebar like mine. The top commentators with link back to reader’s blog is a big encouragement for them to comment. (more…)

Now you can download tons of free movies and music videos from youtube and enjoy watching anytime, anywhere using your tiny yet comfortable iPod touch.

My two cents

I have compared few converters that available on internet. As a result, Videora is the one I think is worth to use because it is fast, free, and in full version. Further more, Videora can convert almost all popular video format such as mov, mpeg, divx, etc. (more…)
