6 Tips For Success With Your Business Weblog


6 Tips For Success With Your Business Weblog

If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, the road to internet obscurity is paved with the abandoned business weblog.  Getting a blog online is easy.  A kid can do it and a lot of them have.  But attracting readership, establishing your online presence and, best of all, making money with a blog are a lot more challenging.  Yet a business weblog can be one of the most important elements of your website marketing strategy and you owe it to yourself and your business to excel at it.  Here are six tips for success with your business weblog.

  1. Be hard-working.  Write helpful, substantive posts often.  Don’t take the easy way out of being personal or superficial with your blog posts.  And, whatever you do, don’t take the even easier way out by neglecting to post!  Do research.  Work on your posts.  Make your blog compelling to attract and keep your readers.
  2. Be imaginative.  Use different approaches to your posts, such as surveys, quizzes and contests.  Take advantage of the interactive nature of blogging and let your readers participate in the creation.
  3. Monetize your business weblog appropriately.  The chief ways of doing that are selling your own products or services, selling affiliate products and services and selling advertising space through Google AdSense or another program.  Test different products and ways to present them to maximize your profit.
  4. Make consistent efforts to increase your traffic.  Use the good old SEO tactics of social bookmarking, article marketing and forum posting.  Cultivate friendships with other bloggers and do post exchanges with them.  That way, each of you gets exposed to the readers of the other.  Try video marketing.  And keep trying to come up with new ideas to make your business weblog visible.
  5. Don’t overlook list-building.  You’ve seen other bloggers do this repeatedly:  offer a free report that someone can get only if they give their opt-in information.  Then nurture the list, monetizing your business through it and using it to draw your readers back to the blog repeatedly.
  6. Keep at it.  Don’t get discouraged.  Maintaining a successful blog is a lot more work than putting it online initially, but you will be rewarded for doing the work.  Keep at it.  Don’t be discouraged.

Make these tips your daily habits and you will see that they bring success to your business weblog.

    You haven't said much about your technology, so I am making assumptions here…

    You may have to activate hot deployment as a feature in Weblogic. I think I recall that in tomcat or axis2 that this feature is switched off as a security feature: anyone could drop a bad WAR into a running server and potentiall cause problems.

    Is there not a web console provided by Weblogic that you can point a web browser at? This tends to be the best and easiest way of deploying apps and any other administration required.

    Another way of hot deploying is through your IDE, if you got the right plugin to support it. For example, I managed to find an Axis 2 plugin for NetBeans that, on compilation, would WAR up the "executable" and deploy it to the Axis2 folder. Simple.

    So to reiterate:
    1st make sure Weblogic supports hot deployment! Next, investigate if Weblogic provides a web-based admin tool (if it exists, switch that service on!) or try to deploy automatically from your development environment.

    Hope this helps.

    web.xml
    ————-
    The web.xml web application descriptor file represents the core of the Java web application.
    The web.xml file provides configuration and deployment information for the Web components that comprise a Web application. Examples of Web components are servlet parameters, servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP) definitions, and Uniform Resource Locators (URL) mappings.

    Location

    The web.xml file must reside in the WEB-INF directory under the context of the hierarchy of directories that exist for a Web application.

    features
    1)it has servlet description
    2)<filter mappings>
    3)<welcome file list>
    4)taglib definations
    For example, if the application is client.war, then the web.xml file is placed in the install_root/client war/WEB-INF directory.

    FAQ's

    * Is this file read-only?

    No
    * Is this file updated by a product component?

    This file is updated by the Application Server Toolkit.
    * If so, what triggers its update?

    The Application Server Toolkit updates the web.xml file when you assemble Web components into a Web module, or when you modify the properties of the Web components or the Web module.
    * How and when are the contents of this file used?

    Application Server functions use information in this file during the configuration and deployment phases of Web application development.

    weblogic.xml
    ————————-

    deployment descriptor elements that you define in the weblogic.xml file under the root element <weblogic-web-app>:

    * auth-filter

    * charset-params

    * container-descriptor

    * context-root

    * description

    * destroy-as

    * init-as

    * jsp-descriptor

    in simple words
    web.xml is specific to that application only
    where as weblogic.xml being used by all those applications in that userdomain.

    Its like….
    web.xml is noticeboard for a classroom in school

    where as
    Weblogic.xml is noticeboard for whole school put on school reception.

    hope this helps
    Cheers:)
