Why your Blog are not Shared and Commented or Discussed?

Why your Blog are not Shared and Commented or Discussed

Many novice bloggers and some bloggers were greater wonder why the blog entries were not shared and commented on by their audiences. There were some compelling reasons for users to share and comment on your articles. Here  are some of those reasons Why your Blog are not Shared and Commented or Discussed?.

Not unique and quality content


Most people love to read articles that are educational fresh update information. They could learn about new knowledge that gives them more experience and learning experience.

Do you know?


They may want to share data value or educational articles to friends, schools and families since valuable expertise development. That's a simple reason why blog posts are not shared and commented or not at all. Readers will enjoy and share articles, if you wrote a quality, previously included learning benefits.

Nor private relationship


How many people in their connection to social networks? And you have a strong relationship with them?

Well, private relationship is the reason why most blog posts, and opinions were not shared. I have 2k + follower 2k + fans, and connect 1k + friends, especially I have built a strong relationship with these people.

Each time, I shared some information on the profile of social media always help spread my information shared and commented on posts and is popular liberation. Therefore, to build a stronger relationship set up the problem and give the answer why blog is not shared and commented on by others.

I suggested to spend at least 30 minutes to 1 hour daily to the community with the other friend who connect through them and talk of a social relationship.

Shares undelecies posts


Some blogger just shared only links that make other difficult people and wondering about what inside the link. Moreover, the links could attract other users of social media.

Now a day most people are very busy with your current job, so you never lose your time to click on some links and no valuable information.

The time constrain is another important reason why no blog posts were shared and discussed. In reality, most love to keep working and do not want to interrupt your work without any benefit as your link.

To make those people value their time jumping to click on the link you have to put some actions call as added attractive image and brief information on the content of value within the article.

You do not have a group participating in the social media network


Social Media Strategy are as WTO trade. None of Traders members have fewer benefits of doing international trade.

You know there is a group call CommentsDX that all members can exchange some opinions with other members and get the value of share to post each other. When you ask a question why the blog entries were not shared and discussed, you should ask yourself that you have collectively, all networks or groups that benefit from increased more blog, comment and share.

May never share mind, why blog posts were shared and discussed by me


When I first put integrated social media as a marketing strategy, I am afraid to share other bloggers and competing messages.

I'm really wondering about my audience will move to other bloggers or websites for my competition. But absolutely no, sharing other competitors or Post bloggers made ​​public by those who love and enjoy more great resources for information of all their social profiles.

At some point in your post will be shared and commented on by others and always do or tell them.

Ready to Teens for Blogging Tips

 Ready to Teens for Blogging TipsThe journal is kept with our most secret thoughts, fears and desires , were numbered from the first time someone discovered that the Internet can be an ideal forum for a personal letter that he does not just have to be a mass of universities with academics books proposal , or websites that offer discounts for this and that point that , frankly, most people can easily do . Internet , it may have been originally designed , it is a huge means of communication between everyone. Personal diary , with its furry cover, or easily broken lock, the dangers that mom or dad might find it, or a jealous sister may matter innermost thoughts to all her friends in the clique at school, was replaced by Weblog , or blog , replaced by software that allows any user with access to the Internet to share their thoughts with the world .

It is estimated that there are currently over one hundred million blogs on the Internet , though not all of them are active , but , nevertheless , and are available for those who read it. Some are filled with amazing exhibits , some with niche writing, poetry , eroticism, photography, business councils up to the most obvious scams and hoaxes . Within this vast array of opportunities Blogs are written by teenagers from all walks of life . With so much already written Blogs , written every day , it may seem difficult for a beginner , especially in adolescence are not used to putting words on paper ( so to speak) , to find their place . The main problem for many is what to write about all that they do, see, experience is normal - for them - and is unlikely to be of interest to anyone else. Blog teenager is likely to disappear in the marsh , and then there is the problem of what to write about first.

Creating a blog is perhaps the easiest part of the whole . Budding writer should just go to one of the many services such as WordPress, create a working e-mail address , select a template and theme that fits their lifestyle , and they are ready . But what to write ?

Absolute classic literature, but it is unlikely to work , many teenagers have probably read or find interesting , Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance . Here , Robert M Pirsig gives advice to a student who is perfect for teenage Blogger. Write about the things around you, about your daily life . Take a city or town that you live in , study it , write about what you find. If it's too much to write about one street, any building within the street . He goes even further with his student , and tells her that , if you write about the building too much writer's block if there is still a lack of ideas and inspiration , and then select one brick from this one building, and write about bricks . Of course, the brick is a metaphor is simply used to illustrate his point of view, and can be replaced by anything else.

The teenage years are a time of change . We are no longer children but not quite adults. We are faced with many problems , but few viable solutions that suit us . Our generation is different from earlier generations ; our parents we are different not only in appearance, but in the long run , the interests and ideals . This conflict , time and intelligence , with a blog , it's a time when we can find other teens are experiencing the same emotions and share with them. A blog can be used to express disappointment as much joy to write little things in life that give us pleasure as much as those irritating . Blog is something that does not judge us , we control and completely alone, and over which we have complete freedom to do as we want. If a teenager Blogger writes about the place in the middle of his or her forehead , their first period , misplaced strike that destroyed a football match , a good looking man or woman there is no one to say that they are not wrong , no one to say that they can not write about such things , or that they could write better. Blog is an open book that welcomes any and all posts .

As a teenager, Blogger, many have not yet formed a set of what they want to do or be in their lives , and a blog is the perfect forum to test ideas , to write from the heart to explore. There is no set answer to the question "What should a teenager Blogger to write about ' , but many variables : write about what you are interested in ; that is interesting to your friends, school , district ; music , concerts, shows , dancing , pets, little sisters . Initially, any topic can be solved , and as much variety as possible included in the blog , with predominant vremenemtema may well form a niche area of real interest . Write about the topics discussed in other blogs , to give his own opinion , to make their own comments.

World of blogging is almost unlimited , as the number of objects that can be written about , and the blog is a world of its own and only one person waiting to be built to be inhabited posts . Write about what interests you, even those fleeting interests , which last barely a moment but did not set any limits .

11 Tools like Blogger Should Use

11 Tools like Blogger Should Use
When we begin to create a very confused blog we may be with all those weird words we read when we look for tools or tutorials online on how to create or manage a blog, but as you're getting familiar with the terms and tools things become easier. There is still so much ahead to learn and discover the world and the blogosphere is uncertain.

I have personally long in the world of blogs, if I remember correctly I started in 2011, but since I've been a "well behaved blogger" I've done well on income and avoid penalties from Google, well I'm getting into other issues - that happens when you get addicted to writing - and I want to share these 12 tools that will help in many ways: improving productivity, organize your time, manage your work, etc.

Manage your emails with Outlook

One of the essential tools for any blogger organized a mail client, especially when you manage different accounts. I personally use Outlook which provides other functions such as task manager, calendar or schedule to create events, reminders, notes, etc.. Read 10 Tips to Configure Hotmail Email Account on Outlook

You can also use another great option is "Thunderbird" which I used and it works fine, but I do not like the idea of ​​installing many programs on my computer. Outlook has worked well for me so far.

Ratings, screenshots and more

In addition to Outlook, One Note office suite for Windows has many options that have helped me organize my schedule as task management and reminders for every blog that I manage. The combination of these two tools is to improve the basics and learn how to organize your work.

The interesting thing about these tools that are available wherever we go, whether with our mobile computer or tablet. Other tools you can use are Google Keep, though I try not to be too dependent on Google or Evernote; this case very useful for use with Smartphone as you can get ideas for your blog while you're away from your workplace or home.

OneNote helps me create snapshots or quick notes as ideas for future post, as well as screenshots of websites. This publication Alt1040 can see other alternatives, but consider using one of them to better organize your work.

Feedly, aware of your subscriptions.

I liked the work and had organized my feeds with Google reader, unfortunately came to an end and we had to look for alternatives. My recommendation is Feedly, which is also available for mobile terminals with which we can access updates wherever we go.

Feedly is an option that we should use to subscribe to blogs of interest also advise you to read our same thematic sites, where we can share with our followers on social networking content. It is always good to follow the competition, visit blogs and comment quality, end your blog will have some benefit. Please do not spam!

Skype to stay connected with your contacts.

Although there are many alternative messaging and video calls, Skype is one that should not miss in the list of tools that you like to use. My reason for using Skype and no other way as Facebook, Line etc, is that Skype is for professional and stay in touch with other bloggers or customers, that way I do not mix the personal with the work. Read Now You can make free video calls in groups

Managing social profiles

If you have a blog, you have a social profile for each blog. That makes the work more difficult to handle, but thanks to an excellent free tool can manage social profiles from an administration panel and monitor our users or followers.

Hootsuite is a tool that meets my needs, at least the free plan is sufficient to manage the pages and Twitter accounts that I have, but if you need more you can look for other alternatives such as those mentioned here.

This tool also comes with an option to enter the feed of your blog and make self posts to social profiles linked to the account, meaning that each time you update your blog your social networking profiles automatically receive information and create reports on the activity of your users on these social networks.

Image Editors

Image editing depends on the theme of your blog, how common these can not miss in your repertoire: GIMP or Pixlr (via web). You also have alternatives such as Paint.net, or painstar Painta, all are free.

Whatever the theme of your blog, you're always going to need to tweak something in an image, usually to optimize before uploading them to your blog post.

Playing with your blog codes.

Blogger allows you to edit the code directly from the panel, but also WordPress does. However it is better to make the changes through a language editor. One of the tools for programmers or Blogger they need to make changes to the WordPress themes is Notepad + + which allows use and edit any programming language such as CSS and PHP.

On this site you can view 10 alternatives to Notepad + + which can take into consideration but I recommend at least use a not edit your blogs directly from the admin panel. For security in WordPress, for example, may block editing theme from the admin panel to avoid issues and unwanted access from attack, thus may make changes from a language editor like Notepad + +

Access via FTP

If you have a website or blog created in WordPress you must have a file manager to access your files without being entering the Cpanel of your hosting directly, this is accomplished with an FTP client and I particularly recommend "Filezilla" as it is Free, easy to use and lightweight.

All you need is to create and configure an FTP account on your hosting and using these data, adding the blog, in Filezilla to connect to your site.

Auto publish

As mentioned above, Hootsuite allows us to publish our auto post to our social profiles, there are other tools you can use and that are highly recommended and essential as TwitterFeed or Dlvr.it.

Both allow you to add the feed to your blog, add your social profiles to share information and can automatically generate reports and use your own shortener your blog.

To auto publishers you have these three alternatives: Hootsuite, Twitterfeed or Dlvr it.

Using your own custom email domains

Now with the "high" that recent Live Domains and Google apps has, we can use Zoho mail to create emails with custom domains and easily configured with Outlook, just remember to enable the option in each email account added.

The free version of Zoho Mail allows to create 5 accounts which are useful if you have 5 blogs and each with its own address or a regular user and undemanding. The service allows you to read and manage emails via web or you can also configure it for use with a mail client.

Capturing video and screen

Whenever we post an entry on our blog we use an image that is generally a screenshot of a site, an online tool or a logo. Every blogger should have a tool to create these images , as mentioned above can create your own images with some image editors listed above in this list or you can create snapshots or video tutorials on the following :

To create a screenshot of any part of a blog or website you can use an add-on for your browser. I personally use " Nimbus " because it allows me to add text and other catches and several options for storage , but you can also use " Screenshot of Google " also works well.

If what you want is to create animated like a video capture I recommend , and you should not have on your computer , " LICECap " which captures the screen size you want in an animated gif which often comes in handy.

It is noteworthy that these tools are generally for any user and does not specifically focus on one type of subjects such as pictures, creating ebooks, blogs oriented videos, infographics which we can use other tools.

You'll also find other alternatives for each of the tools mentioned above, but these are the ones that could recommend based on my experience and work to help me perform.

If you'd like to share another, which would be helpful, you know you just leave your comment!

Writing content online to let others know about you or your business is one of the oldest and yet still popular methods for generating website traffic. In this article I am going to share with you 3 tips on how to write articles that will draw the traffic in to your website.

If you enjoy writing then you'll have no problem coming up with ideas for content. However, if you don't enjoy it and find it more of a chore then you will want to make sure that your efforts provide you with a big return!

Some topics pull in the crowds and go viral and there is no way of knowing whether what you write will achieve this or not. However, there are certain types of articles that always do well. Here are 3 of them:

Usually when someone goes looking for help with something they will type in a search that starts with "how to". Therefore writing an article that provides the answer to those types of questions work really well.

Think about your particular niche and write down all the "how to" questions that people might ask. If you run out of ideas then visit some question and answer sites and look for more questions related to your niche.

Tips

People love to learn tips. There is something slightly secretive about a tip - as if someone is letting you in on something unknown!

Therefore writing articles that gives your reader some tips on how to improve or achieve something goes down well.

You could write 3 tips, 5 tips, top 10 tips - there are many variations on this type of article.

How to add HTML5 media files in your blog


How to add HTML5 media files in your blog


It is often useful and necessary to add a media file on our blog, regardless of platform. For this we can use the new HTML5 tags which are already supported by browsers other than Internet Explorer and can use the files you want without using plugins, if we use WordPress.

In this case we can use the file we have on our blog, but for this example to reduce bandwidth and server resources in my blogger blog I will use a file that I have in my Dropbox account.

If we want to use an audio file, what we do is add this code:

<audio controls>
<source src="URL the file mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
<source src="URL the file ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<embed src="URL your file mp3" type="audio/mp3" width="200" height="100"/>
</ audio>

You must replace the path for your archive, the source with audio. Ogg is for users who use browsers that do not support HTML5.

The attributes of the element AUDIO and VIDEO are: controls, autoplay, loop, muted, and preload

Controls: allows the player controls and display itself.

Autoplay: causes the file to play when the page loads.

Loop: play the one file and again.

Muted: remove the audio file.

Preload: define whether the player should load when the page loads.

If you want to show a video, is almost the same except that for AUDIO VIDEO changed, in this case the code would look like:

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
<source src="URL the file mp4" type="video/mp4">
</ video>

Copying the file from Dropbox.


In this scenario we will copy the path of a file dropbox we will replace and enter the code.

We enter our own and seek the audio file.

In the file right click and select "Share link".

Immediately a window where we click on "Get link" will open

5 Options for Using Comments on Your Blog

5 Options for Using Comments on Your Blog
The blogging platforms like WordPress (with hosting) or Blogger, for being the most popular, bring their default comment systems which can modify and change. These alternatives can be applied on both platforms and each has its advantages, depending on your site that you have.

5 Options for using comments on your blog


Disqus
Personally I like the system because Disqus is like the "all in one" systems review, in addition to not load your site or database with more information. If you are using Disqus on Blogger or WordPress you can enable comments or guest users to use their social accounts like Facebook, Twitter or Google plus which could give some virality for your blog.

With Disqus you just need to create the account and generate code installation on any platform. If you use WordPress plugin do not use, this is something to do with just paste the code in theme (single.php). It also allows you to display a counter comments, entries similar post you are reading and Top users with more comments.

According to information published on the web 75% of the blogs on the Internet use third party comments systems like Disqus, plus the alternative is "friendly" to the SEO and mobile platforms so your visitors will not have problems when surfing with comment their mobile devices.

Google Plus
Recently, the social network Google Inc also released the commenting system through Google Plus that allows our users only use their Google or G+ accounts to post comments. The great advantage as in other social networks is that the content can go viral on these social sites and links to your post would be stronger.

The feedback system can be used in G+ Blogger default with just enabling the option from the control panel and a WordPress plugin.

Facebook
The most popular social network on the net has many tools that benefit us, one of these is to submit the feedback form we use in our profiles and posts from our blogs. Best of all, we have found that this Facebook comment system is systems that bring more profit to the blog and get more visitors.

This system can be installed on Blogger or WordPress without plugins and is customizable. Here you can go to the official website of the tool and follow the installation instructions.

Intense Debate
From the creators of WordPress and Akismet Polldady comes another interesting product reviews as a great alternative for our blogs without plugins and easy installation!

Intense Debate system is easily integrated into your platform has word filter in comments, users can reply to the comment with quotes another user may report abuse or violation for any reason they deem not to use that comment or inappropriate supports widgets as "Most Viewed", "Top Commentators", etc

Livefyre
This alternative is much like Intense Debate or Disqus allowing users to comment as "anonymous" or using social and similarly moderate profiles can, filter or use comments widgets in Sidebar blog. Here you can see a running Livefyre

For WordPress there is an option "All in One" which allows visitors to select the path to leave comments as it

5 Common Errors in HTML Tags That you Should Avoid


5 Common Errors in HTML Tags That you Should Avoid


Many believe that to start creating an online blog is not necessary to have basic knowledge in languages ​​like HTML or CSS as platforms help us set up a blog quickly and easily with clicks and a wizard.

The truth is that to some extent this can be achieved, however it is important to know what is written in codes on our blogs and knowing that generates what we can see, so much so that we can customize and edit our blog.

The truth is that until we download free templates containing errors to correct in order to validate your HTML and CSS blog, is not mandatory but it is good to have a clean code. If you are using WordPress often generate code that also install the plugins that come with some semantic errors in the HTML which we find it a little difficult to watch for labels misused.
Consider the following important list of 5 common mistakes of HTML that we should try to avoid:

Missing ALT in images

Some of the common mistakes that shows our original source of the post is " Do not use " ALT tag on images . This tag is not only important to improve SEO and positioning of our paper containing the image , but the picture itself .

Another reason why we should use ALT images of our blog is because the content within ALT loads faster on slow connections and our users have idea of ​​what the image is .

Remember to use descriptive ALT text and guidance .

NOT use lists when necessary

This is a common and incorrect practice when writing code in a static HTML page without using an HTML editor that generates a code , eg Notepad . Using lists as LI or OL is amount and we should avoid using breaks BR lines within paragraphs .

Bold labels .

Another common practice to use bold in HTML is to use the label B, although this view generates bold text we want, the best practice is to use the Strong tag.

Using labels styles within

Remember that the code within the CSS blog or site must go into a proper structure. The CSS code should go before the site header (head ) separating the body of the blog or website .

Another common use case is wrong and styles within other tags , such as using STYLE in a H2 header . The correct way is to use a class or layer to give the styles that should go in a separate structure .

Using edges within a tag .

When we add a link to an image the first thing that comes to mind to take the edge of color, in the style of HREF is add the Border = " 0" option to the image. This is a serious error of validation or semantic HTML . If you intend to use or remove borders within images you must do so from the CSS style sheet within the header of the blog .

These are just a few of the most common errors in blogging

What is Quality Content and How it is Achieved

What is Quality Content and How it is Achieved

If you're not new to this blogging, you've probably already come across this phrase more than once and it could not be more true. Today, quality does not go anywhere, there are too many good alternatives to waste time with you if your content is not up to par.

But what then exactly is quality content?

Quality is evident in many facets, but I would say that basically all of them are common sense, is not nothing you can imagine if a little reflection.

And above all, it is not so difficult to achieve, much less, let's see:

Quality content has to be relevant

First, appoint the relevance of the content of the post. What you're writing, do you really anyone cares? Is it useful? Do you have any kind of impact, however small, in the lives of people?

Also, keep in mind that if a reader comes to your blog and what he reads a positive impact, however small, sooner or later you will remember and return.

Otherwise it is very likely that you will not give a second chance. If you will return to your blog by chance (through Google, a link to another blog, etc..)

Obviously you can write for yourself without more, purely personal fulfillment, and there is nothing objectionable about it. But if among your objectives is to read your blog, the first questions they should be.

Your knowledge of the subject matter, but not so much

Perhaps this title let you misplaced something, no matter what you know of what you speak ...?

Well, not exactly ...

Obviously you should not speak without knowledge of the facts and does not need further clarification. But beware, many bloggers "passed" this principle to the extent that they dare not touch anything in it that are not considered "mega-experts." They are aware that with enough humility and prudence can dare to talk about almost anything.

The clearest example is posts that recount the experience of someone getting into a new topic. For example, a professional who comes from the world of traditional marketing can do interesting posts telling how their learning is living in the world of online marketing and what it is providing.

It will be very interesting because many people find themselves in the same situation, identify the author of the blog and will have the opportunity to compare their own experiences with what he has.

Moreover, what you do not know, in large measure, you can find out if you are willing to make enough effort. Also, you can tell as it citing sources and look good. Moreover, if you spiking what you have to say about a topic with the opinion of two or three recognized experts in that subject, will add a lot of strength and credibility to your content simply by using the knowledge of others.

Originality is not that hard to get

It is very important that your content is original.

This can be frightening because it can be easily interpreted in the sense that one has to be constantly inventing wildly creative, funny, and totally different things unseen.

Easy, is not it, it is simply that your content not to rehash what has already been published 10 times before. There is no problem to address things that have already been addressed before (in fact, it is usual, nor is there much to invent new topic). But it is very different to make a rough copy or collection of pieces of other posts to make the post really yours, reflecting your personality and your ideas.

Although lame an idea from someone else, simply express it in your own words and consider the nuances and makes you different and original, makes your personal view of things. It is simply that.

The depth and detail of your content

One of the patterns post more widespread bad quality and personally I hate most is what might be called the "tatty-post".

By this I mean the typical post that usually do not last a few hundred words and as a loose dogma 4 or 5 ideas or "good advice" laying down the law about something without providing the slightest reasoning, or put those ideas into a particular context without only one practical example.

This kind of post is very common and I personally hate. The author only wants to fish with minimal effort traffic and the stuff really is not particularly enthusiastic about. Not saying that posts this crap is going to get hard.

Clear ideas, please

The clarity with which you convey those ideas to others and that are enjoyable to read your content will be critical to keep your readers engaged.

They also help a lot factors not directly related to the content itself as a good blog design that makes the aesthetic, pleasant and usable (easy to read, easy to find relevant information etc..). Somehow, as an author, the blog is your home and you should make your guests feel comfortable.

Who would like to go into someone's house and see leftover pizza in the kitchen and underwear lying on the couch?

For in an ugly, chaotic and little usable blog, the impression that the reader takes something like.

Content well structured and engaging

People do not read blogs quietly on the couch as previously done with newspapers. Many files that are consumed and there is great competition between them to keep the attention of the reader.

Also, people have 5 minutes and read anywhere and when you can. On the way to the metro, in the doctor's waiting room, etc..

So quality content is content that makes it easy for the reader, content easy to read, with a good structure of headings and subheadings to allow its "scan" faster to skip the parties less interest the reader and attractive and relevant to keep their attention, for example, good images, that add value to the content elements.

Content "actionable"

We all like the "actionable" things, the sooner we see the result of something better.

" Actionable " , as is intuited , means quick and easy to implement . If you contribute an actionable idea to a reader, it executes it and get a result, there have one of the best "hits " that can occur on it.

For example , imagine a post that suggests a certain combinations of colors for the background, text and buttons from your mail widgets subscription because these combinations can achieve a 20% or 30 % increase signup rate your blog .

Generally, this should prove to be as simple as changing the settings in the plugin you're using for this in CSS or leaves the widgets if you 've implemented directly in HTML. Ie , a simple action that you've implemented in minutes.

Imagine now that after a week check your subscriptions have actually risen 20 % ,with 10 minutes of work !

After providing that amount of value , I think it will not be the last time you read a post of this blog , right?

Copy of others is a great stupidity

And of course, do not ever copy from others. Not by ethics, also, but that just does not work.

Today, copy is stupid, you're inviting Google to penalize you from day 1 for publishing duplicate content.

Besides, you lose your voice, you will note that they are not your contents. Each post will have a different style that completely dilutes any personality. People would like to connect, but that they have to feel that there is a person on the other side and if you're a copycat just like there was no one on the other side.

So if you want to be real blogger, get the idea that you have to be able to generate your own content. If not, you're not going anywhere, believe me.

It is normal costing you generate these files, but like everything, has a lot of practice.

Conclusion
I think it's more difficult to be clear about what makes content quality content to create it first if you have it clear.Do not confuse "quality" to "bright", quality has to do more with adding value and implementation of a number of techniques and best practices as I mentioned you in this post that with the creation of works that are the height of creativity.

In this post I said that I personally seem the most important, but certainly some important has stayed with me in the ink. What do you think should be added?

And, finally, let me recommend further reading of this excellent post that will give you inspiration and focus to generate your content:

7 Techniques to Use Photos and Images on Web Pages well

7 Techniques to Use Photos and Images on Web Pages well 

Simply take a look a little more closely to any blog or website to see that almost all of them (including ours), or, just use images, or not do what they should do with their images to make the 100% potential, which is a lot as you'll see in the post.

7 Essential techniques that you should apply to the pictures and images of your website or your blog

1. Use the appropriate resolution

Obviously there must be also some problems and, indeed, there are. Besides obviously good images using adds some more effort to the creation of the content, has also the drawback that it causes your heavier and thus a slower web pages. But do not worry because this is a solution.

First, this is much relativist if you are using a good bandwidth for your web server (ie, a good hosting), which should be doing anyway. So the server does not readily suffer with more pages in size. Moreover, the images you upload should be optimized to be as small as possible, without appreciable loss of quality.

2. Use the proper format

One thing I notice that almost all bloggers ago wrong not use the format best suited to use the image as you want to assign that image.

There are three major formats representing almost 100% of the formats used on the web and are JPG, PNG and GIF. For example, for a screenshot, the JPG format is not a good option. PNG format is best suited to delivering results with a greater balance of size / quality.


3. Optimizes image (color, sharpness, etc.).

Optimize an image is not only to reduce its size, but also in applying intelligent algorithms (eg for optimal sharpness of the thumbnails), choose the appropriate format as I said above and narrow your palette.

4. Use pictures to stimulate the reader

View the technical side of how to properly use the images on a website, let's talk about how to use them to increase the influx of readers to your site.

You can not emphasize enough the great potential of images to stimulate the reader and capture their attention, very few blogs as leverage. In this blog we still have work ahead that is certainly not something that is implemented overnight and needs to be clear how to do that is what I will detail in the following sections.

But most important is to understand that a website that does not use images or use bad that is not comparable with one that does well and, as I said, few really do it well. So take advantage of this fact because it is a great to stand out from others in your niche opportunity.

5. Multiply the impact on the social networks

So let's start with techniques that people still used but little, however, are extremely effective if implemented well know. And in the last few years have seen a number of new features in social networks that allow better leverage the potential inherent in the images to capture the reader's attention in the media.

Probably this success is not to be taken as a general reference, but of course it is common sense that a greater visual appeal of a shared social media content has a significant impact on clicks received. And best of all, the effort to implement is small because again there are many free options to implement this functionality on your site.

6. Fail images for SEO

Many people are not aware that not only the content is positioned, but also the images. Position in Google images is much easier to go through the text content because less people do, so take advantage of this to position your content indirectly. The good thing is also that if you've done work On Page SEO for your page, you can "recycle" and also for pictures and get more for your blog.

7. Use quality sources and respect copyright

The latter technique, or rather principle here is that much look after the quality of your images. If you apply the above techniques with low-quality images they lose much of their effectiveness or even lost altogether.

Quality means that the image is good, creative, able to draw attention (positively), etc.. and just have a good (is sharp, etc.).

Conclusions

If you are "underutilized" images on your site, you should book a room in your schedule to devote intensively to give a return to this issue because a good job can have a very positive impact for your site.

Internet suffers severe info intoxication, is a site full of sound which is becoming increasingly difficult to penetrate to deliver your content to the user.

What do you need to get it stand out from the crowd. A very effective way to do this is through the use of images spiced with a touch of creativity, something that will help a lot the techniques I've told you here.

But remember: the sine qua non for the success of your website is still the quality of its contents. All the tricks I've told you here simply will not do you any good if down the road the reader encounters something that is not up to par.
