Guest bloggers wanted.

Somehow, I have no patience for guest blogging even though I know it is a valuable medium to attract targeted visitors, build brand visibility and oneway backlinks.

I did try once writing for one of my favorite blogs and it was rejected by the host blogger. I accepted the verdict because, my style of blogging is just the opposite of the host blog.

I like the freedom of blogging and what the host blogger wanted from me was an article which is just not my cup of coffee (I hate tea)..

I made a blog post about guest blogging in another of my blogs. It is titled, List of 50 blogs that accepts guest blog post.

Go ahead and read it. You stand to gain a lot from it. And don't forget to share it please.

Oh, by the way, I too accept guest blogging provided the blog post is unique. Think about it!

Why common men don’t buy gold?

A local language magazine took the initiative of conducting a survey among middle class people on what prevents them from investing in gold bullion, which is the safest investment of their hard-earned money.

I appreciate the timely survey because there were complaints galore from majority of people who suffered unbearable loss of their money invested in shares and real estate.

The survey results when analyzed revealed that the main fear of the layman is who to trust while buying gold. It was obvious that people need to be educated about gold rating its market price and global economy that decides the gold price.

The survey also indicated that common man is skeptic to glossy advertisements of gold vendors in television and print media.

They wanted to approach easily accessible gold merchants who care both for his business and for his customers.

It is where the U.S. Gold Bureau stands apart. Through their newsletters, they pass on valuable information about buying and selling precious metals.

The longest skirt for a bride.

The beautiful bride took everyone by surprise! She descended the staircase graciously in a long white skirt instead of a traditional sari! Though long skirts are the most preferred dress by young women, they are not meant for religious functions.

Nevertheless, the bride’s fair complexion matched her choice of white long skirt. White skirts give an impression of educated look than any other color.

I appreciated her courage to defy the tradition in spite of murmurs of disapproval. I personally went up to express my remarks. At the corner of my eyes, I saw the groom’s face lit up with pride.

By the way, can you call a sari too, a long skirt? I think so, a sari is the longest skirt and it is definitely more graceful than the one you see in the picture below.

Why targetted blogging is difficult?

Even after 5 years of blogging, I find I am still learning the nuances of targeted blogging. Thus far, I have been blogging what comes naturally to me without seriously looking into the aspects of inserting frequently searched keywords.

Every time, I come across profitable keywords, I note them down only to use them in my next blog post but always forgetting to incorporate.

I find I am even lagging behind blog promotion that I was actively involved a year ago. I think I am getting contended with the money I get for doing blogging assignments as a ghost blogger.

So what I planned to do to attract targeted traffic?
I intend to convert keyword rich PLR articles into unique blog posts without disturbing the keyword density. I tried it several times earlier but my natural blogging interfered always.

I have already identified several bloggers who boast of over 2000 email subscribers to their blogs' RSS feed. They are my inspiration. I planned to use their blogs' topic in my blogs.

What do you say? Will it work?

Perennial discount sale of hip hop goodies.

It would not be an exaggeration if I say that at any given time of the year, one can buy hip hop clothes at whopping 75% discount at some online shopping mall or the other.

My son used to visit jmmyjazz.com for his hip hop fashion needs. However, every time he ends buying colorful sneakers instead of hip hop clothes. At the last count, there were 16 pairs of sports shoes underneath his cot. My son’s favorite brand is Jordan and Nike.

One more of his favorite item is one of those pants with pockets at strange places. I wonder how people can reach into such pockets quickly located at inconvenient spots.

I am glad that my son doesn’t wear that platinum hardware on his ears. It will be so incongruous on a software engineer.

How many words in your blog post?

I firmly believe that a blog post should not exceed 250 words. I am voicing this opinion after I read a rather detailed blog post by Viper Chill wherein he stated that the most popular and well read blog posts contained 1000 words.

(Source: http://www.viperchill.com/blog-post-length/)

Yes, I am surprised at that figure however true it may be. 1000 words! My God, that would be an academic essay only students and teachers would be interested in.

If a blog post does not give what the blogger wanted to tell his readers in 250 words or less, then, he is not an efficient blogger. This is my opinion and I am sure there are differences.

Personal blogs can be of any length. Such bloggers write only as a hobby. Pro-bloggers should be able to blog in 250 words to 300 words maximum.

Spitting gold bars and coins.

Did you watch the video of the first gold bar vending machine that is installed in a famous hotel in Abu Dhabi? No one could have missed the gold bar ATM in Emirates Palace because the vending machine itself is made of solid gold.

This gold bar ATM spits out gold bars in denominations of five and ten gram bars apart from one-ounce gold bars.

My husband’s brother showed me a few gold coins that he bought from the wonder gold ATM. I must agree they matched the beauty of the American Eagle gold coins that I bought from the U.S. Gold Bureau, the world’s largest precious metals dealer based in Austin, Texas.

The U.S Gold Bureau has been my trusted source for all things related buying and selling of silver and gold coins and ingots.

I very much doubt the introduction of gold vending machines in other parts of the world due to security issues.

My free adviser on bullion market.

When you buy gold, do you buy it as a long-term investment or do you buy gold to make quick profit during the next price rally?

In my experience, when I hold the gold bar for more than 12 months, I make a substantial profit when compared to profits I made by selling it quickly when the price has increased slightly.

Initially, when I entered the commodities market, even a marginal increase in price will make me think that there may not be another opportunity to make a profit.

Then, I gradually started reading newsletters on bullion market and read several gold investment related forums. I gathered many tips from veteran gold investors. I started holding onto my bullion purchases.

The United States Gold Bureau, which is the most authentic source on precious metals market, has been my virtual advisor to buy and sell gold.
