ok…for the readers of this blog, I’d like to say that I’m planning to pend posting on this blog for a while because I’d like to take some time to really plan things out, to identify what I really want to do, what market I really want to tap into, what type of expertise I’d like to have in this Internet Marketing world, and everything…So for a while now, this blog will grow at it’s speed, and not for the sake of blogging for money itself, because as you may or may not know, the most successful blogs ranked on Technorati or anywhere are created from full timer dedicated expert on their field, who putting out all their heart, time, mind, energy, money, into their blog. So as the result, those blogs have a very high posting frequency (1-3 posts a day), very well maintained, or just very well managed.

I decided this because I realized that blogging by it’s essence IS a long term contemplation with yourself, long term relationship builder with others, and if it’s a business, it’s a long term business.

So my opinion is, for those who are already a blogger and thinking about making money with their blogs, there’s nothing wrong with that (blog is a website, and need to be able to pay for itself and the time spent on it). But, don’t just really get sucked into this whole blogging trends for making money sake, and just forget what blog originally is, and what your main reason to blogging originally is.

From the time being, I realize something about myself that what I really fascinated about so that I want to do all these Internet Marketing, Blogging, etc, is to pursue and seeking future. I’m really curious and concern about how this world will change from time to time since internet had been introduced. How it change our way of thinking, our behavior, our culture, our way to build relationship, our way to make money (and this blog is just talking about this particular aspect of life), and our way to see the world.

The world is changing at an accelerated speed not at constant velocity. And I don’t want to just wasting more time trying to keep up with it. Because it’s just an absurd and not relevant decision.

What really bothering me is how I can be there when the time come where this world will filled out with baby-boomers generations, what I can do or offer to this world, how to survive in that whole-different perspective of fierce competition, etc.

Since I’m a thinker, to respond to these unlimited thoughts that appear day after day, I’m about to create another blog talking about how the future would affect us and this world as a whole…I’ve been register a domain name, and am preparing anything…including my time.

actually this post is very suitable to be posted on twitter but since I don’t have a chance to have a twitter account and the signup page still just simply blank till now for I-don’t-know reason, I think this blog can always be another alternative just like the old days since blog IS a web log…

In the end, blog is your FACE to the world. So, be yourself when creating one…

If you are new to blogging world just like me and never thought about this before, maybe it’s time to consider it.

Linking between your posts are very crucial and very helping in building inbound links within your site. What I mean by linking between your post is to create a link somehow in your post, that pointing out to another post url.

Inbound links from SEO point of view are crucial too. The more links in a page that pointing to another page besides help visitors or reader to jump into other related post you made, it also help building that particular target page to rank higher (the effect of course not as much as links from the outside the site).

Another thing is it actually helps robots or search engines spiders to crawl and exploring your site easier. This is why linking to another page help that target page to be ranked higher.

The more links you placed in your blog post that point out to various other posts means the more you give the visitors chance to click and read your other blog post. The more they have the chance to easily navigate through your other related post, the more likely they’ll really click and read other stuffs…other more, and another and another…

In the end, this will resulting in giving you more chances for them to click the ads, banner, or adsense you placed on your page because of the increasing impressions of your blog. The more they read your other previous posts, the more they actually build ‘relationship’ and trust with you without really knowing it because they feel like they  know you more and more.

So some advantages you might get from create links between your posts:

Light Network

01. building community,

02.sharing information between you and your readers,

03. Building relationship and trust

04. Increase chances for your ads to be clicked,

05. increase your sales if you sell something,

06. increase chances for them to give comments to your posts which will help the blog to grow naturally between readers.

07. Increase chances for them to bookmark your site and or subscribe to RSS feeds and come back later

08. Increase chances for them to share page that they would never found before if they don’t exploring your site

09. Easier for SE spiders to crawl and index your site

10. Help to rank a certain page higher

By overall, it increases your relationship with your readers and your monetization rate of your blog. And that’s the whole purpose of a blog at the first place.
