This turned out to be one of my most popular articles and it was time for an updated version so here it is.

A blog is a frequent, online publication of comments, web links, rants and raves, hobbies, and news. It is an online Ezine of sorts lately I've noticed a trend of blogs coming into their own. Influencing political decisions and social issues, beating news services to breaking news and too much to list here.

People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with automated published systems, Millions of people use services such as blogger.com,myspace.com and others.

So start your blog now and be ahead of the crowd for a change. A secret I'll share with you here before going any further is after you set up your blog goto FeedBurner and signup. Then by inserting your url in the burn feed box on the front page and hit next. Why do you burn your feed?? Basically this will translate yout html so it can be read in a universal language of RSS. Don't worry that's all you need to know for now as the feeds do the rest from there.

Now that you've buned your feed comes the fun part. Goto publicize your feed and I recommend using Buzz Boost, Headline Animator and Ping Shot is most important. What this does once activated is send updated feeds to millions of blogs automatically. So when you make another blog entry the word is spead across the web at the same time which is very powerful. Towards the bottom of the page you can add 5 additional services I recommend feedster, bloglines, weblogs, snydic8 and ice rocket.

Next step is the chicklet chooser-these are little tabs you'll insert onto your blog. You can use as many or as few as you like but you must use Google and Yahoo. This is essential because now I'm going to reveal a amazing and powerful secret.

After you insert your chicklets and republish your blog view it and click on your google chicklet and add to your google. Then goto your yahoo chicklet and do the same. Now comes the most important step goto Yahoo and enter your blog url into the search box. It will probably say url unknown but it's ok underneath it'll say if this info is correct click here -DO SO. This technique will have your site spidered by search engines within 72 hrs there is no need to submit to search engines further.

I know it sounds complicated but if you can follow simple instructions and cut and paste it should only take a few minutes. Caution you must be familiar with HTML so as not to make mistakes. If you're not sure ask a friend or there are www.htmlhelpcentral.com-Forums to find help or www.jmarshall.com/easy/html/-Html Tutorials. This info is for you if you're familiar with the web - if you're a newbie it'll take a bit longer to implement

Here are the reasons you should not ignore Blog advertising:

Remember when all search engines were free, and simply submitting your web sites got you listed quickly? Gone.

Then it was FFA pages, they brought in a ton of free traffic, built links to your site, and added to your mailing list like crazy. Tried one lately? Safelists were an online goldmine for a while... until bottom less email accounts were introduced.

Website sumbmissions now can take anywhere from 2 to 8 months to be indexed. While blogs and rss feeds can be indexed anywhere from 2-8 days which is better for you??

So once again I implore you to be one of the first in line and not be last again. This is the new trend just beginning to breakthrough. A few years or months from now you'll be able to sit back and smile as you watch the rest of the net stampeding to catch up.
