Need Suggestions to Improve My Blog

Discussion in 'General Business' started by arghya, Sep 13, 2010.

    I created a blog to give latest mobile phone news & specifications, but having some problems. First of all, I don't want to spend money in registering a domain now, so used WordPress free blogging service. The free themes available non suited my niche. And posts are somewhat scattered with image publication problems.
    Which plugins or extensions to install to run it properly ?
    And what are single way permanent backlink ? does they improve pageranks ?

    i think you cant install a plugin in WordPress free blogging platform.. it would be better to use blogspot instead in using wordpress.com

    I used blogspot before but giving ads or getting themes are tougher there, wordpress is cooler

    I not recommend you using free host.

    Instead,try using own domain and host so that you can do a lot of customization on the blog.

    In order to customize your blog and utilize plugins, it will require having your own domain and doing your own self hosting. I recommend wordpress.org, it's really clean and customizable.

    Definitely get your own hosting service. If you are serious about making a blog that will be successful purchasing your own domain and hosting is worth it!

    I don't know where you can get something to replace a credit card. You might be able to put money into one of those "Pre-loaded" credit cards that force you to put money into the credit card up front. These don't require any credit card history and even underage people can get them.

    Pay for a hosting service and everything should be okay. It would be worth the investment.

    Customizing you're blog is not bad with great template and plug-ins, you can format it exactly how the way you want it to be.

    First - get a domain - if you arent planing on spending 5$ on a domain . then dont even think about Backlinks at all - about plugins or theme - doesnt matter you can hack every one of them to fit what ever you want.
