A ‘Blog Mastery Award’ was recently  started byBelinda Cunningham.

The concept is to choose 10 blogs that you feel have mastered blogging and have great content, then  nominate them to receive the award. The recepients then write a post about receiving the award and go on to pay it forward by nominating 10 more blogs that they feel deserve recognition for a great effort .

First I’d like to thank Toni King for nominating my blog… and suggest you  have a look at the others who made her list!

It’s always means more to me when my work is appreciated by a peer… (so thanks Toni). I’d like to suggest that you mosey on over and have a look at what Toni has posted on her site… there’s always something interesting to read and ponder!

There are so many good blogs out there… The thing that I have enjoyed the most about the blogs are the people behind them. It really is a case of wysiwyg… authentic, real people who care. They care about their readers, but what comes through in their blogs is they also care about people they haven’t even met yet… they care about You, Me and our little blue planet.

I read so many varied and interesting blogs in the course of a normal week, it’s hard to name only 10 for recognition because most of them deserve it but I’ll endeavour to narrow it down… in no particular order because they are ALL so good!

Now on to… MY LIST OF NOMINEES :

Belinda Cunningham http://www.belinda-cunningham.com/ Creating Success in Business through Branding and the Effective Use of Social Media

Linda Grace: http://lindagraceonline.com/ Journey on a Road Less Traveled.

I hope you take the opportunity to read through this nominated list… beyond just out of curiosity, because while they are all worth a peek to see what they are all about, it’s the value that you will receive in the content.

How To Get Youtube Comments

You probably already know that Youtube can be a powerful marketing tool when used correctly. Getting comments on your videos can be a great way to generate more traffic for a Youtube video. If there’s a discussion going on in the comments, people will be more likely to keep coming back to that video in order to participate in the conversation. If people keep visiting a video and commenting on it, that video is going to show up higher in Youtube search results. There are a few simple things you can do to encourage commenting on your videos.

You may already be doing this one, but be sure to put your Youtube videos on your own site. Each visitor you get that watches that video counts as a view for that video, and as a video gets more views it will begin to show up higher in search results. It’s also likely that some of your visitors will hop onto Youtube and leave a comment on your video.

If you do any email marketing, be sure to send out your videos to your subscribers. It’s always a good idea to give your subscribers high quality content whenever you can, rather than just selling to them all the time. By sending them your Youtube videos, you’re giving your subscribers something interesting, and generating views and comments for your Youtube videos at the same time.

It’s a good idea to promote your video on social networks. If you have a Facebook page, or a Twitter account, be sure to post your video to it. Your Facebook fans and Twitter followers will be likely to watch, and comment on your videos. If they’re a fan on one social media site, chances are they’ll become a fan on another.

It’s also a good idea to mention commenting in the video itself. At the end of the video, post a note that says something along the lines of “thanks for watching, don’t forget to leave a comment!” By reminding your viewers to comment, you’re sure to generate at least a few comments you wouldn’t have gotten anyway.

By spreading your video around, and reminding your users to comment, you can build a discussion around your video. Videos with active discussions in the comments often get more views than others, and high traffic videos show up higher in Youtube searches. Keep these tips in mind, and your videos will start getting comments, and traffic in no time.

Avoid These Common SEO Mistakes

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO can be extremely complicated, and difficult to master. There are a number of factors that determine where your site falls in search results, and getting all of those factors to line up can be challenging. There are some common mistakes that a lot of people make when starting out with SEO that you should avoid at all cost.

A lot of people fill their content with strong keywords, but neglect to do the same for the title to their article. Your title should reflect the content in the article, and contain as many keywords as possible that are directly related to the content.

Don’t use keywords in excess. Each of your articles should feel unique, and natural, while still managing to incorporate as many keywords as possible. If you try to cram as many keywords as possible into an article, search engines may actually lower your page’s search placement. Search engines consider this practice to be a sign that a site may be trying to spam search engines, and as a result, this practice can have a negative impact on your search placement.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but search engines can’t read pictures. If all of the text on your site is in image form, search engines can’t access it properly. Sure, you can generate some image search traffic by naming the images correctly, and using alt tags to describe them, but that’s just not the same as getting the full benefit of all of your text being indexed by the search engine.

Don’t stop updating your site. If you begin to slack off when it comes to maintenance, your search rank will begin to decline. Keep adding content as often as possible, and make sure to do periodic keyword research to see if there are any new terms you should be trying to capitalize on.

SEO can be tricky, but if you avoid some of the more common mistakes, you’ll be off to a good start. Keep your site up to date, and make sure your titles reflect your content and your keywords. Keep your site up to date, and stay on top of your keyword research, and you will be on your way to SEO success.
