On July 29th, Webmaster.com invited Lu Songsong to share his many years of Internet experience and stories, blog operation, network promotion and other experiences in the weekly Thursday chat event. Lu Songsong’s blog www.lusongsong.com , you can also go to his blog to interact. This article is a compiled version of some information, welcome to discuss.
Question: 1. Hello Lu Songsong, what is your original intention of starting a personal blog, and what have you gained from doing so? 2. What aspects should you pay attention to when adding content to your personal blog? 3. How can a personal blog retain visitors? 4. How to promote personal blog? 5. How to make money from a personal blog?
Answer: 1: I am a website developer. If I don’t have a blog, wouldn’t I be OUT? Another reason is to find a job, and I am a website developer. What if I don’t even have my own website? The feeling of having a blog is that I have less spare time and I am tired. I basically don’t watch movies or play games when I stay at home. 2: It is best to be original. The first thing to write an article is to summarize yourself and reflect on your shortcomings. 3: If you are good to him, he will be good to you. 4: Whether to promote blogs or promote bloggers, you must first make it clear. In this regard, I have compiled "My Website Promotion Methods and Means" on my blog before, you can check it out. 5: Similar to small websites, there is no good model. Just make a few advertising alliances and pull a few ads, that’s it.
Question: Hello Lu Songsong, your blog has been online since 2009. What is the current traffic and number of users? Can you disclose the income of this blog?
Answer: The traffic is around 2000-3000. There are only three registered users in the background, and the rest are visitors. Last month's income was 2246.48 yuan.
Q: How do you promote your blog? I read your blog post that you visited 15,000 blogs and left your footprints. Is this true? How did you persevere?
Answer: The main method is comment promotion, which is about 15,000, just an estimate. In the early stage, I relied on passion and ideas to persist, and in the later stage, I relied on money to persist.
Question: When you were doing promotion in the early days, how much time did you spend every day leaving messages on other independent blogs? How long did you last?
Answer: At first, I would spend 2-3 hours every day commenting. It lasted about 4-5 months.
Question: 1. I remember that Lao Lu’s blog used to be a combination of pictures and text, but not recently. When will the blog be updated again with a combination of pictures and text? 2. What do you think of Baidu’s continued use of your blog?
Answer: 1: I have indeed been doing blog illustrations for a long time, and I have no intention of giving up. It’s just that it takes 30-60 minutes to do the illustrations every time, which is too tiring. So I plan to do it in the form of tags. Recently, I have cleaned up many useless tags and made some corresponding pictures, but it will take some time. Since I am working on a project now, I don’t have enough time, but I will still resume the blog illustrations. 2: Once it’s K, it’s K. It’s very depressing at first. Later I discovered that even though I was K-ed, a large number of friends still visited my blog. I gradually understood that blogs are not written for search engines.
Question: 1. How to write a good blog and create a brand? 2. Baidu has banned your blog. What do you think? 3. How did you obtain 15,000 blogs? Can you share them? 4. How did you come up with this method to brand your blog? 5. Is traffic important for blogging?
Answer: 1: Just rely on hard work and a little bit of persistence. 2: I feel good now. The ultimate purpose of the website is for users, not search engines. If you don’t go through Baidu, don’t you know me the same way? 3: Through BSP blog, blog encyclopedia, and friendly links in blogs. 4: Unfortunately, I have never wanted to build a brand, but I was too heavy-handed and criticized too harshly. 5: Traffic is important, but more important is the people who come to your blog.
Question: The question of profitability has always been vague. I just looked at Lu Da’s blog and found that his ads are not affiliated with the alliance. Are they purchased directly from merchants? Monthly subscription? Let’s briefly introduce how to make money! To be honest, the purpose of making a website is to make money, and the reason for coming to the forum to chat is to learn some experience. I don’t know if Lu Da has any good suggestions for website profitability! ? At the same time, are there any good countermeasures for Baidu’s hair plucking? I have a website that had a good ranking before, but now it’s ranked K! Still haven't found why? I won’t post the specific meters! To avoid becoming an advertisement, can Lu Dan explain how to deal with this situation based on his own experience?
Answer: 1: At present, advertisers are looking for me directly, so I may be somewhat famous. 2: There are two sources of profit for my blog. One is the advertising alliance, which is Google AD. The other is advertisers. 3: For more information about website profitability, please refer to this article "How Small Websites Make Money". 4: Baidu has no countermeasures for plucking, and love is mixed. 5. It mainly depends on whether other sites in the space are affected, or whether the code and URL title are repeated too much. If it doesn't work, just write an email to Baidu.
Question: Hello Lu Songsong, I have compiled five questions. 1. What is the purpose of building a personal blog? 2. After the blog is established, what kind of operations can bring about browsing and a good return visit rate? 3. How to write blog articles? 4. What is the difference between a personal blog and a corporate blog? What are the key points to pay attention to? 5. If you are busy at work and have no time to update your blog, how can you solve this problem?
Answer: 1: The difference between a blog and a website is that a blog is more humane. The purpose of building a blog is the same as the purpose of building a website. 2: If you treat people well, they will naturally treat you well. This truth remains unchanged throughout the ages. 3: It is better to decide your blog articles based on your own interests. Just write about what you are best at. 4: The difference is that one can do things according to his own wishes, while the other must do things according to the leader's wishes. Personal blogs should try to use what they are good at, and corporate blogs should try to tighten the distance between them and customers. 5: Use the excuse of being busy at work and watch one less movie every night to free up time.
Question: Questions about using your own domain name to build a blog website. 1. What is the best program to use to create a blog now? 2. Are there any more effective ways to promote blogs? 3. How to add each section in the blog? 4. What is the relationship between blog updates and search engines? 5. How to choose to add advertisements to your blog later? 6. What should you pay attention to when writing a personal blog? 7. How do you use some software to run a blog, such as pseudo-original software and SEO optimization tools? How effective are they? Any tips?
Answer: 1: Both WP and zblog are good. The key is to ask whether you are good at asp or php. 2: Can you introduce me to a job that can make money quickly? 3: Backend settings, each backend has them. 4: The correlation is not big, just keep your update frequency and let the search engines follow you. 5: If you have a certain reputation, it is best to attract some powerful advertisers yourself. 6: Persistence 7: Use as little as possible, fake originality, forget it, no one likes to see it. Just use some tools to increase backlinks. But the effect is average because everyone is using it.
Question: I am a mechanical major and am about to be a senior. I want to engage in a job similar to yours after graduation. I don’t have any skills yet. Now I want to learn PHP. I wonder if Brother Lu has any good suggestions? How can we successfully take the first step into the Internet industry? I have been subscribing to your blog and following it on QQ Weibo. I hope to get your guidance.
Answer: Many people have sent me emails asking me similar questions. I once analyzed this problem on my blog, "Emails without a subject, but I hope you can take a look." PHP developers generally have a higher starting salary after graduation. , but the starting salary for doing things like SEO is very low. If you can’t balance your mind, learn PHP and become the best. But let me give you a suggestion. Your major is very good. Don’t regard your hobby as your job.
Q: I would like to hear Songsong’s experience and skills in blog marketing and promotion over the years. I now find that website promotion is a very hard work, but I don’t know if the effect is good or not. How do you do this? In terms of quantity, such as: the number of blog messages, forums, etc.!
Answer: I haven’t dared to do it for many years, just over a year. Everything you do now is physical work. Many people don't understand promotion and think it's a one-and-done method. But only after understanding it, do they realize that's not the case. Just like I have come into contact with many people who do not understand the Internet, they think that the Internet can make people rich overnight. Think about how King Tu made his money in 5 or 6 years.
Question: 1. Is there a method suitable for lazy people to operate a blog? 2. After the blog is established, how to increase its weight?
Answer: 1: If you have a way to get rich overnight and make money while sleeping, tell me, and I will tell you how lazy people operate blogs. The easiest way is to start a blog on Sina or NetEase. 2: Is increasing the weight to have a higher position in the search ranking? Is it ultimately to get more traffic? You should study SEO yourself, I don’t understand.
Question: 1. Lao Lu once collected 15,000 blog resources and then commented on them! Where there is a blog, there is Lao Lu! What is the fundamental reason for the transformation of Lu Songsong’s blog from a grassroots blog to a well-known blog? 2. I found that I have actually been blogging, but as time goes by, I tend to become lazy and write blogs perfunctorily. Maybe some articles are hasty! And your blog is holding up? What kind of motivation is it?
Answer: One of the purposes of my blogging is to find a job. This has not changed yet, but finding a job is not difficult for me. Maybe I insist on blogging now to find opportunities. The opportunity is for someone to find me through my blog among millions of people.
Q: I don’t like writing technical blogs. I only use QQ space to write articles. How many people are there in your independent blog circle? Approximately how many people visit each other frequently? Is there a fixed method of mutual visits? For example, QQ group?
Answer: It’s good to use QQ space to write, regardless of the troubles in the world. It turned out that visiting the blog was just a random trespassing, but later I discovered that people from one circle could not let people from another circle in, so I ended up staying in the webmaster circle. I will visit twice a week, and I will find free time to visit each other during the rest of the week. Basically, I visit through the comment link in my blog, not the QQ group.
Question: Songsong, have you ever used group sending software? If you have used it, please continue to answer. How do you master and use the group sending software? I heard that search engines now punish websites that have been mass-published, but will not punish websites that have been mass-published. Is this true?
Answer: I have used it for mass posting of articles and mass posting of comments, but later I found out that it was not the case. Some software also had their advertisements, and after using it a few times, I found that people did not come back to visit me at all. I could tell at a glance that it was sent in bulk, but now I don’t think it makes much sense. I don’t know anything about search engines, but I am sure that websites that send bulk messages will definitely be punished.
Question: So far, I know that you have a famous blog. I wonder if you have any other websites or projects that you can use. Currently, you can be seen on all major webmaster websites. Does this mean that you have already How can webmasters succeed if they have a certain authority to guide them?
Answer: I'm sorry to tell you that I am one of those people who has built hundreds of websites over the past few years, but none of them have been successful. Websites are made for customers. I don’t dare to be a guide. I originally wrote a blog just to share my website building experience and prepare for launching the Internet in the future.
Question: 1. After your blog becomes popular, I would like to ask how you maintain users in the future? What method was used? 2. The Moonlight Blog has begun to open the submission function to the public. Will Lao Lu also officially open it at a certain time, so that some good suggestions or methods can be displayed on your blog? 3. What do you think of Baidu’s plucking of your website? It’s been a long time since I remembered it!
Answer: 1: The most common sentence I say in my blog is "I hope to come here often in the future." I think this should be considered my way to maintain users, just greet each other occasionally. 2: I update my blog at least 3 times a week. I can still cope with it myself. I will wait until one day when I am really too busy. 3: The question has already been answered: once I got K, I got K, and it was quite depressing at first. Later I discovered that even though I was K-ed, a large number of friends still visited my blog. I gradually understood that blogs are not written for search engines.
Question: My forum has been online for 3 months, but it has not been included in Baidu revenue. I don’t know why. I would like to ask what kind of profit path the “ringtone forum” will take? Very slim at the moment.
Answer: It hasn’t been included in three months? How many external links are there? How many soft articles have been published? How many friendly links have you made? It’s not easy to make ringtones for mobile phones, brother. We should not only look at the eyes of telecom operators, but also look at the eyes of China Mobile and China Unicom. You'd better check the relevant information. If it doesn't work within half a year, shut it down as soon as possible.
Question: Ask Lu Songsong, what do you personally think is different from Internet celebrities like Mou Changqing?
Answer: To be honest, Mou Changqing is more diligent than me. He basically runs several of his websites by himself and is still at work. His promotion techniques and various activities are much more active than mine. I have always admired his high energy.
Question: I just want to ask, if 100 websites suddenly asked you to rank for specified keywords, would you still have time to write a blog? Or how did you do it?
Answer: If webmasters had fewer assumptions, the Internet world would become a better place.
The secret to everyone's success is different. I think Lu Songsong's success lies in constant persistence and hard work, relying on passion and ideas to realize dreams and achieve today's results. From an ordinary grassroots blog to today's well-known webmaster blog, this process is promoted through 15,000 blog comments, through spending 2-3 hours a day, and 4-5 months of persistence... Any success is achieved through one step It’s a step-by-step effort. If you want to succeed, have you made similar efforts? I hope the above summary of forum chats can inspire you, and please continue to pay attention to A5’s forum chat events every Thursday at 3-4pm. (Text/Mengjiang)
