Hello everybody, I would like to learn from your experience in blogging. My problem is that I have changed my blog's URL twice. The first time from mathiexpremiumaccounts.blogspot to premiumaccounts212.blogspot. After that someone just said to me that my URL is bit long and it is hard to memorize it, so I changed it to premium212.blogspot. I have no money online now to buy a domain yet. I need to work with this one now, but it has been three days since the last person who entered my blog. I also share accounts daily on forums and I have a youtube video and twitter account for my blog as well. I don't know what to do right now? Should I change the name again to premiumaccounts212.blogspot or should I stay with premium212.blogspot?! I am really feeling bad that I have changed the name, because I had minimum of 5 people accessing my blog daily, and now.. NONE! So, what's your suggestions?!
My first suggestion is to pick a domain and stick with it for the long haul. Having a consistent online moniker is important if you're planning to expand your blog for the long term. Constantly changing it will just lose you returning visitors, because they won't know who you are! Remember, your visitors will come back if a.) they liked what they see and b.) they know what to expect. Constant changes bring an element of unfamiliarity and may even alienate your regular readers. I also agree that the name should be short, clear, and memorable. I usually avoid numbers in domains, because they are usually tricky and easy to forget. A shorter domain tends to fare better, but there are exceptions depending on what you're blogging about.
Hello Mathiex, Mathiex, you need to study up some on Internet Marketing. Not trying to be mean. Ok? The blog name is NOT the most important thing. What you put on the blog is. When you changed the blog name though, you took yourself back to square one. Put simply: 1. Decide what you want to sell. 2. Do your keyword research and pick one good key phrase that has plenty of hits but not so much competition. 3. Get a domain and name it for your key phrase or as close as possible. 4. Purchase a for real hosting plan from HostGator. 5. Make a real website using Wordpress, FrontPage, or XSitePro. 6. Name your index (first) page the same as your main key phrase. 7. In your meta data, make the title your key phrase....Use your key phrase as the first word in your page description. 8. Make your first keyword your key phrase. 9. Write an article for your index page using the key phrase as the title, and sprinkle it several times through your article. 10. Write MORE articles in places like Ezine and use your key phrase as the link back to your index page. This is the VERY simplified version of how to get your blog recognized and found by folks. If you want to hurry up the process, and you have the money, you might consider hiring an Internet Marketing tutor.

Your blog is the same as countless other blogs. If you add content that is conceptually unique you might get some return visitors. In the meantime you are relying on the search engines to bring you traffic yet your blog is "same old, same old".
In order to get traffic, you need to promote your blog too. Waiting for clicks from searchers is never going to get you the traffic you want. Likeiwse, 5 readers are not going to pay any bills either. Get it up to 5000, then you have something!
Oh, that is ok, When I ran my first blog nobody entered for weeks. So it means you have got to do something. First, let your friends know that you have a blog. Then have to do some nice and unique content and then some SEO exercises for your page.
When make your blog and work on it, it has backlinks and rank in search engines after some time you understand that the domain is not more useful and you change your domain name. Changing your blog url gets totally new domain name and there will be no help from your previous domain and your backlinks will be divided,so will be better to create new targeting blog url and work on it properly.
Write useful, unique, intriguing, and controversial posts, and upgrade to WordPress. A domain name costs $9.99 per year and hosting is $5.99 per month. That's less than $100 per year you can make that through ADSense.
