3 Ways to Prepare Your Blog for Christmas

                                  

Christmas is a time of celebration, everybody knows that.And everywhere you visit around the world, both offline and online, only remindyou of it. And we must agree that Christmas also has its effect on us bloggers.If you are a blogger who schedules 5 to 10 articles for your blog on normaldays, I bet you’ll only be able to do half of that now. And going this way canonly reduce the traffic and rankings of your blog, if you can’t find somethingto do. 

   
   
   

Given, you can’t blot out yourself from the merry andcelebrations going around just because you want to focus your attention on yourblog and on the other hand, you can’t leave your blog to die for the sake ofChristmas. There has to be a way to do things without making one suffer for thesake of the other. And this is when the tips I’ll be sharing in this articlebecome relevant. 

Start GeneratingIdeas When you Have the Chance 

Generating ideas for your future blog posts is one of thebest ways to prepare your blog for this Christmas. If you are the type thatwrites quality articles for your blog every day, you’ll want to agree with methat when you have ideas for the article you want to write for your blog, halfof your work is done!

So if you are only left with half of the amount of time youusually had, having your post ideas ready can help you maximize your time andalso help you keep your blog going.

At least, I have more than twenty post ideas for my diamondinternational discounts and allurez coupon blog which I plan to use during theChristmas.

Schedule Your BlogPosts Ahead 

Another great way to make sure your blog stays afloat duringthis festive period is by scheduling your articles for the days you know youwon’t have the opportunity to write any. If there is any better way to do this,it is by making yourself write more articles than you initially do now. If youalways write two articles before, you can write four and schedule the other twoto publish on a later day, advisable on a very busy day.

And if doing this is going to be stiff for you, you may haveto consider doing what I’m sharing below.

Hire Writers orRequest for Guest Posts 

Hiring writers can be a bit expensive but it’s worth it whenyou consider the benefit you are going to derive from it. When you’ll be busywith your friends during Christmas, your writers can be writing blog posts foryour blog without you having to do the job yourself.

If your budget will not allow you to hire writers, you cando it in a simpler way, by asking people to write for you as guest authors. Manypeople will be willing to give you an article for free in exchange for abacklink on your blog.

Amazon is on fire in this holiday season as they are selling more than 1 Million

Kindle Fire Per Week.However the Amazon has never released specific sales

figures for the Kindle Fire.The announcement came on Thursday in a press release

and after the press release Amazon shares rose by 1.5 percent.

“Kindle Fire is the most successful product we’ve ever launched – it’s the

bestselling product across all of Amazon for 11 straight weeks, we’ve already

sold millions of units, and we’re building millions more to meet the high

demand. In fact, demand is accelerating – Kindle Fire sales increased week over

week for each of the past three weeks. People are buying Kindle Fire because

it's a simple, fully-integrated service that makes it easy to do the things they

love – watch movies, read books and magazines, listen to music, download apps,

play games, and surf the web,” said Dave Limp, Vice President, Amazon Kindle.

“Our family of Kindle e-ink readers are close behind Kindle Fire on the

Amazon.com bestseller list. Customers continue to report preferring their Kindle

e-reader for long-form reading, and in fact we’ve seen many customers buy two

Kindles – both a Kindle Fire and a Kindle or Kindle Touch – this holiday

season.”

These figures are more than awesome for Amazon as kindle fire is only available

in US till now.Kindle fire was earlier considered as iPad killer and it

definitely can stop its dominance in tablet market to some extent.

3 Effective Ways to Build Backlinks to a Blog

                             
Building backlinks to a blog comes with many benefits. As a blogger, I’ve been striving to build a lot of backlinks to my weight watchers discounts and diet to go coupons blog. And during the process of doing this, I’ve learnt some effective ways to build backlinks to a blog. It’s not all the many ways people find easy to build backlinks to their blogs are rewarding. That is why you need to define what methods will be rewarding for you and your blog.
The search engine optimization or SEO benefits you’ll derive from building effective backlinks to your blog can double your search engine traffic almost overnight. What are these effective ways to build backlinks to a blog?

Guest Blogging 

Guest blogging, perhaps the best way you could build backlinks and drive targeted traffic to your blog, is an easy but yet effective way you can build backlinks to your blog. The most successful blogs have several guest posts with backlinks to their blogs. Aside the SEO benefit your blog is going to derive from your doing guest post for your blog, you are also going to gain new set of audience to your blog which is a very rewarding thing.
If you can work towards doing up to five guest posts to your blog every month, you are sure going to make your blog grow rapidly.

Blog Commenting

Blog commenting, though it looks obvious, is still very effective in building backlinks to a blog only if done the right way. Many bloggers when doing blog commenting do not even bother to confirm that the blogs they are commenting on is a “do-follow” comment enabled blog. You have to know that it’s not the quantity of comments you make that determines the quality of rankings your blog is going to get but the quality.
Another important thing you should always take note of before commenting on a blog is to read the article and make sure you understand the content before commenting on it. You might be surprised to find out that your comment may be deleted if you did not read the content of that blog before commenting on it.


Link Exchange

Link exchange is one of the most utilized ways of building backlinks to blogs. It is well used but still very effective. If you don’t understand the concept of link exchange, it involves you allowing a blogger to have a link of is blog on your own blog while he also reciprocates the same for you.
Though link exchange has been argued to be a wrong method of doing backlinks, it is still very effective and helps bloggers exchange audiences. It also improves your search engine rankings. If you could manage to exchange links with over ten bloggers, that literarily means you have ten links pointing to your blog.

Top 10 Video Game Soundtracks

Love video games so much that you find yourself humming your favorite game’s music?  There’s a cure for that.  With many games intentionally putting more effort into their soundtrack, it is no surprise that this part of gaming has grown so much.  In fact, there is even a special category for it at the Video Game Awards.  If you’re still not convinced that video game music is more than meets the ear, check out these top ten video game soundtracks.  

     

    



1.Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Love 80’s music?  It doesn’t matter.  This collection of songs from the game where you get to steal cars and listen to radio stations that play the hits of the eighties, as well as hilarious entries in talk radio, is one of the best-selling video game soundtracks of all time.  The box set includes all seven radio stations, with entries for everyone from hip hop to soft rock and even Latin music.  



2.DJ Hero – This video game literally has players spinning incredible music.  The soundtrack to the game includes favorites from artists such as Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ AM.  It even won a Video Game Award for Best Soundtrack in 2010.



3.Rock Band – Is rock music more your thing?  Then you won’t be disappointed at the soundtrack to this video game.  It has songs dating back to the seventies by Boston and the Ramones, along with new entries by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Queens of the Stone Age.  There are also classics from Nirvana and the Beastie Boys.



4.Guitar Hero – Not to be outdone, there is plenty of great music on these soundtracks for the rock or guitar lover. The soundtrack from Guitar Hero II is the most popular and includes entries from every band from Aerosmith to Van Halen.


5.Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – This video game has players battling in a Dracula-esque type setting.  However, for its haunting tunes, the soundtrack often stands out as a must hear for both lovers of video game music and symphonic melodies. 


6.Legend of Zelda – In another entry in symphonic music, the soundtracks to Zelda games often include memorable melodies.  One of the most popular is from The Ocarina of Time, which centers around a flute like instrument.


7.Bioshock – The soundtrack to this game was so popular, it won the award in 2007 for Best Soundtrack at the Video Game Awards.  Featuring instrumental music exclusively from the game, it beat out games such as Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero III.

8.Nier – For videogame soundtracks in Japanese, this one is hard to beat.  It is often described as one of the most memorable parts of the game and was developed specifically for it.


9.Kingdom Hearts – Looking for video game music for kids?  Then check out this soundtrack from the creators of this Disney-themed game.  Kids of all ages will appreciate the songs just for them.


10.London Philharmonic Orchestra – Believe it or not, video game soundtracks are so popular, this world class orchestra takes them on in a CD entitled “Greatest Video Game Music.”  There are themes from video games such as Call of Duty, Super Mario Bros, and even Angry Birds.

Twitter Changes its User Interface, Looks Better

This Morning when i opened my Twitter Account(@techniciablog) I was shocked to

too see that twitter has made some changes to its user interface which looks

better than previous one.

 

Let us understand these changes.twitter has introduced new tab called activity

in which you can see your Friends activity.The activity tab includes Favorites,

follows, retweets, and more by people you follow.Many of us thinks that the

Retweet tab is replaced by activity tab which is wrong in the sense that you can

now view your tweets that were retweeted and more in @username tab.

  



@username tab includes your mentions, tweets that were retweeted and who have

listed you recently.

 



Let us know what you think about these changes in comment section below and did
