The best way to learn, as usual, is to observe and listen to others. We as bloggers are constantly trying to find new ways to learn and soak up some tips on blogging. If you are one of us, then this post is for you. A couple days ago I started a game ” Use a Letter, Share a Blogging Tip “. The whole idea of the game was to get readers to participate and share tips on blogging, starting from A to Z.

Although anybody can visit the game post and read comments, I thought it would be much more easier to compile them all in one post. This will also give me a chance to link out to all the wonderful readers who participated in this game. Are you ready to read some of the best tips on blogging by some of the most helpful bloggers? I bet you are! [Read more →]

I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend. I had to work today but ended up calling in sick ( I was sick, honest ) and slept the whole day away. Yeah not very smart thing to do. Anyways, as usual I had a chance to read some great articles on other blogs. So here it is for you to check ‘em out just incase you missed them.

You guys have a great weekend. I have to work tomorrow ( Sunday ) and I can’t call in sick anymore, although I am sick .

By the way, what are you guys doing on New Years Eve?

We all know Christmas is about giving. Although I would like to give my readers a lot more, at the moment all I can give is some link backs and entrecard credits. This post is for the readers and the bloggers. I try to post a “weekend links post” every Saturday or Sunday for the readers to browse through. This time I thought it would be fun to share some Christmas Spirit.

Most of you probably have already written a post on Christmas so share it with me and other readers. All you need to do is link your posts through the comments. Simply, leave a comment on what makes Christmas so special for you and if you have written a post on Christmas simply add the link to your Christmas post where it says ” Website ” on the comment box. This will minimize the links on the comments and we will be able to read your Christmas Post by clicking on your name. [Read more →]

It’s pretty exciting as this marks the 100th post on Work n Play since it started in August 2007. This blog has grown in terms of traffic, hopefully quality and been through many changes and I myself think I am growing as a blogger. I thought of sending out a thank you that is long overdue and what better way to utilize the 100th post. I look at this as a milestone for a new blog and would like to thank one person who has helped me tremendously. [Read more →]

As bloggers we all know how important it has become to build quality one way links to our blogs. Here are some of the ways I have implemented towards building links that I thought I would share. The entire purpose of this article is to share my technique and tips on link building and gain some from the readers as well. Some of these tips might be unheard of but they have certainly proved to be very effective.

Sponsor Popular Blogs

One of the best ways to get links from popular blogs is to become a sponsor when they have contests and so on. If you are to buy a link from a popular blog it would easily cost you hundreds of dollars. Instead when they are running contests, offer to become a sponsor for their contest. It doesn’t have to be anything big. It can be as low as ten dollars. This is exactly how I got a link from Shoemoney , a very popular blog with a PR of 6. [Read more →]
