Bloggers, where did they get those ideas to write? I don’t know about others (I am curious to know how you got yours).
I got ideas from various sources. Here’s my checklist:
Google Alerts
They feed me with a lot of information about internet marketing, make money online and with anything, you just name it. Depends on what terms you decide to be alert with. More or less, Google Alerts gives me a rough idea about what to write for that particular day. Google Alerts also introduced me to other bloggers that are in the same niche as mine. So, it is also helping with networking in a direct way. Visit Google Alerts and be alerted now.
Forums
Wandering around in a couple of webmaster forums gave me a lot of ideas. There are problems that some webmasters are facing, I’ll find those locking-keys and then translated them as a post in my blog. Not just problems, I share a lot of new information I got in those forums as posts in my blog.
Articles
I read a couple of articles each day from article directories. To be honest, I can only sustained at 2nd or 3rd articles. Not more than that, there are too many of them.
Questions From Readers
Yes! keep them coming! 
Social Bookmarking Sites
This is an infinity-medium of information, a lot of ideas can be compile here. I always be here either looking for materials to read or in need of ideas.
Those are some of my ways to get ideas to write posts for my blog. How did you get yours?

This post is about search engine optimization or its abbrv. SEO. It is not about black magic or anything else related to it 
It is anyone’s dream to be on top of Google SERP for any keywords exists, I am one of them and I admitted that on my about page. Google contribute a lot in terms of traffic, but I’m not saying that they are the only hope. The ’science’ of getting traffics from Google or other SE is called Search engine optimization. SEO is simple (though I know a lot will criticize me about this statement), but it consumes a lot of time and energy (that is what I’m lacking of). It involves a lot of analyzing, from your target keywords to your competitors’ strategies analyzing.
We certainly don’t know about their algorithm (how they ranked website) precisely. What we can do is actually copy our competitors’ strategies and eventually make it to the top. I did exactly the same on my experimental blog: http://maricari-duit.blogspot.com and it is now ranked 1st on Google.com for terms: cari duit.
The fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization are:
- On Page Optimization
- Off Page Optimization
We just have to make sure that our website have both of these fundamentals strong. On Page Optimization involves optimizing our website with our target keywords. Remember to put our target keyword on thee title, post and footer. Just don’t overdo it or we’ll get penalize by Google. I’m not Google’s employees but I still believe this techniques help in SERP, based on experiments.
Whereas Off page optimization involves getting as many as quality links pointing back to your website with your target keyword being the anchor text. It looks simple but yet huge time needed to make it happen.
Where to get links?
This is where analyzing take place. I used this free tool: Online-utility to analyze my competitors’ off page optimization strategy. The tool will list the websites that pointing links to my competitors’ site, most of them are comments that my competitors left on blogs. What left for me to do is just copy the strategy by leaving a comment in the same site.
Technically, I will get the same juice as my competitors enjoyed. To beat our competitors, we just have to do slightly better than them. That’s the idea. If you don’t have time to do this on your own, you can always wend to SEO firm like SEO Toronto and let them do the job.

A stable and unwavering web hosting service is a dream to any publishers and websites owner. But, not all of them were lucky enough to get those 100% stable services from web hosting provider. Buying a web hosting package is a vital decision. Don’t rush in making those decision because you wouldn’t want to end up being busy transferring your data to a new provider.
Compare
Comparing those hosting packages with other similar offers is one of pivotal step to ensure that you have exactly what you need. This is involving space, bandwidth, emails, mysql, and other stuff. It is ideal to have only what we need in terms of space and bandwidth, the extra mile will be a huge dissipation. There are many sources out there that gives fairly accurate comparison on the prizes and performances of certain web hosting providers.
Web Hosting Rating is one of those websites full of information about top web hosting providers. It’s like a quality searchable directory of web hosting. They listed 10 of the most cheapest and reliable web hosting company all over the world. They even write a review about each of those providers so it can be more informational to you.
What more important about them is that they actually produce articles to make it easier for you to understand what you should and shouldn’t do in making the decision. They called it web hosting tutorials section. A lot of beneficial articles can be found there.
Experience
By far, the most important guide is from the experienced publishers and websites owners. In web hosting rating, they emphasize this a lot. They even develop a section, web hosting awards, where experience publishers can vote for the best web hosting in certain categories. If you want them to organize the providers by rating, you can always head up to web hosting rating to find out more about packages that suit you the most.
