How do I incorporate my Yahoo 360 Blog into my website?

Question by curious: How do I incorporate my Yahoo 360 Blog into my website?
Hi – I have a web site that uses Yahoo sitebuilder and I want visitors to be able to click on the “blog” nav button and see the latest posts from 360 without taking them to my 360 page. Please advise

See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/360/360-11.html for information on how to incorporate Y!360 into your site. Although, it appears that 360 features may no longer be part of your Web Hosting Control Panel – see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/360/360-05.html and http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/360/360-33.html . See all instructions related to Y!360 here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/webhosting/360/ .

So what you are wanting to do may not be possible. You may be left with leading people to your 360 blog through a link.

NOTE: Y!360 is transitioning into a different social networking platform in the second half of 2008. The transition was announced in October 2007, when they also announced that they would not fix any bugs related to the service. There has not been a more specific date announced on the blog yet. Yahoo is trying to centralize its profiling services into one. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the “Yahoo! 360 News” link in the upper right corner of your 360 space.

What You Need to Know About Blog Marketing to Make Money Online

Marketing your blog online can get complicated and confusing if you are working on your first one. However, for a blog marketing guru, it really is not that complicated. Anyone that is familiar with blog marketing online knows that it takes dedication, hard work and consistency. For someone just starting out with their marketing campaign, it may seem like a lot of work with little or no pay off to be seen right afterwards. However, just know that marketing is something that you have to build. You have to work on it and continue to market your blog.

There are many things that you can do to market your blog and get it out there to be seen by the world. One of the most important things is to visit other blogs that are relevant to yours and leave comments. Doing so gets your blog out there to readers of other’s blogs. And in return can get you some new visitors as well as readers. While all of this might seem confusing at first, after a while you will get the hang of it and it will make sense and fall in place.

Posting on your blog on a regular basis is another way to get new readers. Who wants to read a blog that is never even updated? Would you? Of course not! So give your readers what they want with new content and give it to them often. Post daily, weekly or bi weekly and be consistent about it. This way your readers and visitors will know how often to check your blog for a new post.

Know where your traffic is coming from. Know which search engines are directing people to your blog and which are not. Find out what keywords are bringing people to your blog as well. If you know all of this all ready, use it to your advantage. Write more content on the keywords that are working for you and monitor where you fall on the search engine pages that are sending visitors.

If someone leaves a comment on your blog, be sure to acknowledge it. No one wants to have a conversation with themselves, and it will only take a brief moment to reply and let them know you appreciate them. Otherwise if you have a section full of comments and you have not replied, chances are that you will not be getting many more. The readers may even drop you off of their list of blogs to visit frequently as well. Using your head and treating others as you would want to be treated is a big part of marketing.

Make friends with other bloggers. Network with them and find out how they get so many visitors to their blog and what they do to keep them interested. Exchanging ideas with other bloggers that are successful is a great idea and a good way to make friends. If you want, you can even become friends with other bloggers offline as well. Use this to your advantage and do not just take from the conversation though, be sure that you share all of your blog marketing techniques as well with your new found blogging friends.

If you happen to be quoting an article from another source or blog, always be sure to provide a link back to the original. Other wise this is known as plagiarism and something that is looked down on in the world of marketing. Stealing someone else’s content is not a good idea and not something that you will get away with. You will get caught if you try to say someone else’s work is your own of it is not. This is not a good way to start off in the blog marketing world as well.

Blog marketing is a great way to make extra income and get your blog out there and known. Use these techniques above to get your blog more traffic and readers and you will eventually reap the rewards.
