This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Doddlr for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you are like most people online you probably have at least three if not more social network profiles. In order to communicate with your friends and family across all these platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Youtube you must log into each one and then the interaction begins. For the last few years companies have been focusing on how advertiser and companies can access various social network platforms in one space and most are pretty effective. What has been left out during all this integration is the actual end user. Thanks to Doddlr that is now about to change. Started by two 16 year olds in the UK this new platform does not look to create a whole new way to find people online, but takes what you are already using and make it more simple to access.

You can view their short Youtube video to see how simple the whole dashboard is and how you can tailor it to meet your needs. . They are also looking to include a cleaner timeline so that you are able to focus on content and events that are happening now instead of having to wade through the clutter that appears to be creeping into many of the social networks today. You can also add in your top email accounts in your dashboard to manage your emails in one place. Doddlr presents a simple and effective way to interact with all your various social spaces in one simple place.

If haven’t read the news, Google will aquire YouTube for approx. $1.65 billion dollars. Not bad for a site that only started up 18 months ago. This shows that video content is a huge business for content and advertisers. The consumer is driving the internet machine and large organizations are trying to figure out how to maintain their presence in front of them. As these sites increase the exposure, more will likely spring up to try and get a share of that pie. I even saw on eBay someone selling the script that supposedly runs or mimicks YouTube.

The buzz about CGM (Consumer Generated Media) will continue to gain traction. There are a lot of companies looking to captialize on this through Search engines, blogging sites, and other consumer centric businesses.

The answer is Any Kind! So, the right question should be “what blog can make more money?”

The answer is Well Prepared Blog! What to prepare? Why not just posting? If you want to just blog and you don’t care things to prepare, maybe you’re not serious about making money from your blog. Otherwise, please read on.

First, I want to say this, “DON’T BLOG unless you know what you’re going to blog!”

By this, I don’t mean only conclusion of you blog. Before you blog, sit back from your keyboard and take a time to answer following 3 questions:

1. About what topic am I going to write? Are many people want to know about that topic?

2. With that topic, what product or link am I gonna introduce?

3. And how am I gonna do that?

One of the Number one  traffic building secrets is adding content to your website. Have you ever considered that a blog could be the tool that makes this very possible, fast and extremely easy to do. we use our blog to help write about informative sites that will help our readers. We also own Traffexone.com a free traffic exchange where you can get your site and blog seen for free.

Blogs are written in RSS or Atom, both very effective content management systems. Getting a blog for free is easy at www.blogestates.com. After you set up your blog you need to change your settings to archive daily so you have a new page of content every time you make a post to your blog.

Blogging daily is best if you want to add new content every day. If you archive daily, then post each day the blog software will generate a new page of content for you. It’s definately the fastest and easiest way to add content.

The best way to integrate a blog into your website is to make your website into a blog. If you have fresh relevant content on your blog then top search engines like Google will return more often to gobble up that fresh content. That means your site will be spidered more often, and if you just built another page you want spidered, just leave a link within your blog posts to that page and the spider will follow it.

This is a great way to get your pages spidered fast. But it’s important to have the pge you are linking to be somewhat related to the topic of your post. Google is getting more picky about the content of the pages where your incoming links are coming from.
