4 Proven Ways to Cut Down on Spamming in Your Blog

It's a sad fact of life, but two decades have passed since the Internet first gained widespread acceptance among the general public, and we still have to deal with spam. Unsolicited and unwanted advertising continues to clutter cyberspace. It irritates all who receive it. And in worst-case scenarios, spam can even disable a website or email address if the volume is too heavy.

Worse, today's spammers have grown infinitely more sophisticated than their predecessors. Which means that even though most web browsers and email programs come with spam detectors, spammers with the skills, technology and determination can still find ways to deposit their pornography links, phishing schemes, and ridiculous get-rich-quick advertisements into the inboxes of unwilling recipients?

Fortunately, not all is lost. Here are four simple steps you can take to dramatically reduce the amount of spam that manages to find its way into your email inbox.

1. Install CAPTCHA on your website forms to foil the bots. CAPTCHA, which stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart," requires people to enter a randomized code in order to submit an online form. The randomized code is often in the form of distorted, wiggly, or otherwise hard (but not impossible) to read lettering. Spam bots - the automatic email generators favored by today's sophisticated spammers - can't read the randomized code so they can't submit the form.

2.  Don't put your email address on your website. By itself, this will eliminate a lot of spam. But the decision has to be weighed against with other concerns, such as making it easy for site visitors to contact you. If, like most companies, you decide to include email addresses on your website, install PrivateDaddy. This free, open-source software hides your email address from spam bots while still making it visible to humans. Some web platforms, such as WordPress, even come with a plugin you can install.

3.  Turn off comments on your blog. Again, not an easy decision. But like leaving your email address off your website, it can help to reduce spam in the right situations. If you have a very active community of readers who post a lot of legitimate responses, the value of that community will outweigh the inconvenience of any spam that comes through. On the other hand, if you tend to get a small amount of random comments, chances are that many of them will be spam. Turning off comments will eliminate spammers' ability to get through using your blog.

4.  Unsubscribe from what you don't read. When you subscribe to a newsletter, blog, or other form of online communications, you give that business or organization permission to contact you via email. You may not want to receive what they send you, but technically it isn't spam. So they can - and will - send you stuff until you tell them to stop.

Legally, all email newsletters must have an unsubscribe link somewhere in the email. Usually, they make it hard to find by putting it at the very bottom of the page, in small print. But if you no longer read a newsletter or don't get any real value from it, hunt down that link and unsubscribe.

Be smart, be vigilant, and minimize the ways spammers can gain entrance to your email inbox. The small amount of time you invest will pay big dividends in reducing the amount of unwanted email you receive.

How to Change a Blogger Template Without Losing Sidebar Gadgets

In this very short but precise post, i will be sharing with you How to Change a Blogger/blogspot Template Without Losing Any of The Sidebar Gadgets.

Like all things 'technical', once you know how to do this, this is SO easy. I have used this technique many times as I experiment with new templates. This method maintains your sidebar gadgets. There will be no need to copy them from your old template and then paste them into your new template.

The first thing you want to do is Save your original HTML code. In Blogger, click on Layout. Then click on Edit Html. Highlight the entire code, Copy and Paste it into Notepad and SAVE it!!! Never make any changes to your HTML code without first saving a copy of it.

Next, find a template you like from one of the many sites that offer blogger templates (and many of them are offered free).

'Get the Code' and Copy and Paste it into Notepad. (Sometimes the code gets downloaded as an .xml file and you might have trouble opening it. If that happens, I Rename it with a .txt extension. Yes, I get a warning message about changing the extension but I ignore it.)

In the new template code, find the 'close head' code. It will be an open bracket (). (See below. The actual code would not display here. I've added the dots to be able to illustrate it. Remove them and you'll know what the code looks like.)

head....>

You will find this code a few lines after the /* Footer code. In general, it will be about halfway down the lines of code. Copy the new template HTML code from the 'close head' code all the way UP to the beginning.

Now go to your blog's HTML code. Find the 'close head' code and highlight all the way UP to the beginning. Paste your new code. Save.

Bravo!!! You have your new template and your sidebar gadgets are where they belong.

How to Make Money off a Blog Through Copywriting

Writing online has become a popular habit and career over the past years. People have found that creating content for online readers can be transformed from being a simple whim to an intentional production for earning purposes. In fact, even the online business industry have realized that content is an essential part in their extensive marketing campaigns.

This is the very working principle on which the online business industry has evolved around enough. Every online company now strives to accommodate and prioritize content production and the many careers related to it. There are even individuals, who are simply interested on how to make money off a blog, effectively using content to reach their sales goals. Eventually, all this content-glorification has paved way for one industry to blossom into prosperity: copywriting.

If you are one of those who want to know how to make money off a blog, then you probably might also be interested to join the business industry focused on copywriting. By definition, copywriting is the production of written content for the purpose of marketing, promoting, or advertising a brand or a product. Usually, the goal of copywriting is to persuade the readers to heed the content's call to action.

In the business industry, the call to action commonly refers to encouraging potential clients to purchase the product that a company is offering.

Copywriting must not be confused with other content production methods. It is different from writing articles about news and features. The content produced in copywriting are usually for promotional purposes only. There may be facts-sharing but the primary goal is more on encouraging sales than actually to informing people of current product developments.

When you do copywriting, you have to make sure that you know your audience or potential readers. You must understand what you potential clients would need to know about your product. There are several copywriters who have made the mistake of simply focusing on what the product is all about.

Copywriting should not be just about the product itself. It should relate well with the readers so they would be interested to learn more about the brand and to purchase the product. Effective copies are always considered to be those that promote the product well and that relate with the readers very closely.

The copies that are usually produced range from short ones as taglines to materials as long as entire articles. They depend on what the company needs. Sometimes, companies hire people to do copywriting for their posters and slogans. This would require the copies to be shorter in length, probably just one to two sentences long. But there are also times when the company needs copywriting for websites and blogs. Therefore, the copies for them would be longer-spanning from 200 to 500 words.

Copywriting has grown to be an essential part of a business' marketing campaign. Through copywriting, messages are created so the company can reach out to their target market. These messages would contribute greatly to the marketing campaign's success. There have been several accounts in which a company is unable to make good sales because their tagline does not sit well with their target market.

A company can either avail of copywriting services from third parties or they can actually hire their in- house copywriters. Small businesses are likely to hire freelance copywriters because they agree to be in a per-project basis-meaning, they only get to be paid when they create copies for special occasions or campaigns. But the bigger companies often hire their own pool of creative copywriters. This is because they have regular campaigns that would need effective copies and hiring freelancers every time would be more costly than paying for a regular employee's salary.

Copywriting may indeed seem like a difficult task. But if your heart is into it, then you can make the best copies that would be able to reach the goals set for it. You can start practicing your copywriting skills in your search for a business on how to make money off a blog. Just make sure that you do your homework. Research well about the essential points of writing a great and effective copy that would help you maximize your earning potential.
