Why Is It Important to Generate Buzz?

Ganesh — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 15:39:13 +0000

Today, the web is crowded. There are hundred and hundreds of blogs and other kinds sites in virtually every niche. There are many bloggers out there who want to be A-listers in their own niche. The bad thing is that there are simply way too many bloggers who want to be on the top. This results in stiff competition. So, it is pretty much impossible for you to get to the top in a short span of time. There are a few A-listers in every niche, but the reason they are at the top is because they most of them started blogging years ago. Most of the A-listers like Darren Rowse, John Chow, Yaro Starak and others started blogging in long ago, some started as early as 2000. Back then, there was very little competition.

But today, the internet is so big that you’ve got to do something remarkable in order to gain even a bit of attention from others. Let me explain it in the case of blogging. Every internet marketer or webmaster knows that stats are very important. Stats include daily traffic, reach, number of subscribers and other metrics.

It is possible to make a little money online quickly with little effort. But making a lot of money online is not so easy. If you want to make an impact in your niche, then you need to do one very essential thing - generate buzz. Buzz doesn’t mean traffic alone. Generating buzz means generating interest or talk or even gossip relating to your blog or your startup. The concept is pretty simple. You generate buzz, buzz generates traffic, traffic brings in new visitors and readers, and readers can become your subscribers.

You can generate buzz by doing something different from others or even doing something stupid. Generating buzz will give your blog some recognition from others. It will put your blog in the spotlight. Only this will enable it to grow and become big.

In the next post, I’ll talk about how to generate buzz and something related to young bloggers and entrepreneurs.

What Will Twitter Do To Google?

Ganesh — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:43:49 +0000

Right now, Twitter is probably the hottest thing on the web. Twitter has been gaining ground over the last few months. Twitter now has millions of users. People are spending more time on twitter than any other site (even me). Nowadays, whenever I need to know some news or details about anything, I usually go to Twitter first and use their search feature. And a lot of times, I have found the answers to my questions. More people are turning to twitter for finding jobs, getting to know others, etc. Twitter is a brilliant concept, but will Twitter and its search facility replace Google?

I don’t think so. While Google is used for searching for information and links, Twitter is used as a social media tool. But over the past few weeks, I have been using twitter for finding stuff for which I would usually have used Google. So, I think Twitter will have a moderate effect on Google. With twitter, one can easily find information and on the topic of his choice. And since everything on twitter is limited to 140 characters, I think Twitter will be more useful. And the user can also connect with people who are interested in the same topic.

So, here’s my conclusion : Twitter will affect Google. People will turn to twitter for finding an apartment, or finding help on how to feed their cat, and keeping up with the latest buzz. Google will be used for finding information. But since Twitter is a network of people whereas Google results are collected by bots not humans, I believe Google will be affected by Twitter atleast a little. But Twitter will not completely replace Google.

What are your thoughts about this? Please share them with me in the comments below.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Ganesh — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:30:38 +0000

Today, February 13 is my birthday. I turn 15 today. LOL! Today would be a rather quite day for me as I don’t plan on holding any b’day parties (I’m not a kid anymore, am I?). And, I’m not feeling that happy this year, so I’d be very grateful if you guys could drop a comment wishing me happy birthday.

Maybe I should take a few resolutions since I have turned 15. Here are a few of them:

Firstly, unclutter my daily life. Form a timetable for myself that I can follow easily.
Try to learn all my lessons (because I’m going to take my public exams next year, and everyone says that those exams will decide my life, I don’t think they’re that important, but I still need to concentrate a bit more on them).
Become physically fit (I’m rather lean).
Earn well from my blogs and sites so that I can buy myself a laptop or some gaming console.

I hope I haven’t been boring you down with my talk. A word to all of you who read my blog: I know that I haven’t been posting lately on this blog, so I’m going to get back on track and start providing good content. So watch out for some new and interesting posts!

Want to give me a birthday present? Well, you can subscribe to my blog through email or follow me on twitter (I’ll also follow you) and I will consider that as a present.
