Using a 100% FREE platform to blog

If you don't currently have a blog then you can set up a free blog at Blogger.com. I personally use Wordpress because it has a bunch of "plug-ins" that can be added for the purpose of tagging and pinging.

You can download Wordpress for free from wordpress.org. Follow their installation instructions to get it set up on your server. If you have cPanel on your hosting account, you can quickly install a Wordpress blog using Fantastico.
If you’ve never installed Wordpress before and you’d like to but maybe you’re a little scared of installing it (ssh! I won’t tell!) I’ve created a visual tutorial in Flash which explains the steps involved. If you find it useful, please let me know here.

How to find a hungry market perfectly fit for a blog-2

Once you've got the idea about peoples searching nature next thing you've to think about the name of your blog.
It is alaways a good idea to name your blog with the keyword of your topic. For example if you are thinking about starting a blog with a name like skype.domainname.com .
'Wired' & 'Gadget' are two frequent search on google and so i named my blog wired-gadget.blogspot.com.

For instance, let's say you decide to promote an auto auction weblog. The first thing you want to do is read the website from start to finish, jotting down relevant words prospective customers could use when searching for that particular website. After reading the website you will probably come up with keywords such as this:

* Auto Auction
* Online Car Auction
* Repo Auction

After writing down some relevant terms from the weblog you will be promoting, you need to do some research and find many other relevant terms - 20 to 30 terms per site is a good starting point. The following tools will make finding relevant keywords a breeze!

Type a keyword in this tool and Overture will give you all the possible combinations of that keyword and how many times each word was searched last month. This is helpful in finding out how popular each term is at the present time. (see Fig2 below)
