Viral Marketing

Viral marketing is a good way to market websites. The best part about it is that it does not really cost any money. Overall, it works on the premise that Internet users like to share links to useful websites with each other. Here are a few things to remember about viral marketing:

-If you want to get started, then you will need to create useful content. Such content has to be entertaining or useful enough for people to want to share it with each other. Interesting articles, stories, games, eBooks, or videos are all good materials for viral marketing. If you are sharing downloadable content like a game or a video clip, then make sure to include your website’s address.
-If your viral marketing content is attractive enough, then people are going to share it with each other without any need to encourage them. There will be no need to spend money on advertising. Of course, you will first need to publish such content somewhere.
-All you have to do after this stage is sit back and enjoy.

While there are many ways to market a website, viral marketing is very cost effective. The only requirement is that you will need to be able to create high quality content.

My Favorite Yoga Accessories

I have been into yoga for as long as I can remember. During this time, I have attended various yoga classes, and I also have used a number of accessories such as yoga blocks for example. Some of the yoga accessories that I used in the past I liked more than other accessories I had a chance to try. I still have a few of them at home, and I recently have been thinking about expanding my selection to something completely new, something I have never tried before.

Has your content been stolen? This can happen to any honest blogger who is always writing posts by himself. Someone might simply take advantage out of it and steal whatever posts he likes. There are at least a few different ways you can react in such situation:

1. Remain silent and do not do anything while telling yourself that you do not care about it. Sometimes if is not worth to do anything about it.
2. Contact the scraper by email and ask him to remove the stolen content from his blog. The problem is that he might not listen to you. Sometimes it might be even hard to find a way to contact him.
3. Use a WordPress plug-in (such as RSS footer from joostdevalk.nl/wordpress/rss-footer/) that will automatically link back to your site from the website of a scraper where he published your post. This plug-in might be very useful if you want to stay informed about any attempts of stealing your content. Of course, simply knowing about your content being published somewhere will not remove it.

Overall, there are not many things you can do if your content is being stolen by some unknown website. On the other hand, webmasters of popular websites may be afraid that you might spread the news of what they did.
