My Viral Blog will no longer be offering free blog hosting services.

When Initially launched the intent of My Viral Blog was to offer free hosting for online bloggers interested in for profit blogging and owning a home based business. In the past several months though, what was hoped to be a well received project adding value to our systems and sites has turned into an attention and money pit with massive attacks from blog spammers and link sellers using illegal methods to rip off the webmasters of the world.

My average week since inception has revolved around deleting around 2500 spam accounts per week including fake blogs designed only to create a back link. This process takes around 5-6 hours per week alone, another 6-10 hours per week has been spent to research and improve blog security and blacklist attacking domains and IP strings.

Along the way we have developed a popular blog and are seeing increased back links, syndication of our articles and post, and support for our training in blog, social media, and search engine marketing. The efforts to improve on this have resulted in a PR4 ranking from Google which could be higher if it were not for the spammers who create pages we must later delete. The deleted pages and fake blogs with no unique content result in a penalty to our blog's Page Ranks and indexing by generating too many indexed and site mapped links that result in a 404 error page or blank blogs linking to the home that appear to search engines like gateway pages which are heavily penalized and can result in de-listing.

Dropping the free blogs and it's effect on users:

As a result we have shut off new blog creations and are giving notice to our bloggers to retrieve their SQL back ups in order to move their blogs to other hosting either self hosted or through other free services. Those seeking affordable blog hosting with large account space and unlimited bandwidth and unlimited domain names are welcome to check out Velocity Marketer Hosting. Pound for pound our hosting service offers features not found at comparable prices and service that is above and beyond expectations.

Velocity Marketer and My Viral Blog are making some minor and major changes this week to streamline business operations and focus our service and resources. Other major announcements will follow over the next few days as we return to a 100% blog at My Viral Blog and begin spending more time writing articles and less time consumed by blog security issues.

Thanks for all you do,

Anyone who has ever used PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising knows that to get a listing under the top used keywords means spending copius amounts of money on each of the main keywords even then there is no guarantee that your bid will be beaten 5 minutes after placement.

I hope through this article to show the reader alternative tactics that will produce the same sort of results received when you successfully win the bidding war but without spending all that money.

The first step in any successful advertising campaign should always be keyword research closely followed by the development of a sound marketing plan which encompasses exactly where the ads will appear.and what their content should be.(i'll cover this in more detail in future posts)

Now for small companies struggling to make an impression on the Internet there are alternatives to competing with the large corporations in PPC advertising, rather than looking to bid on high usage keywords they are better off spreading their available budget across a broad range of lesser keywords the results will only be slightly less than if they had gone for the major keyword, in fact in some cases they will gain results that surpass those using the major Keyword both is traffic and positioning as they gain more exposure.

The other option small business owners can look to is CPM (Cost Per Month) advertising, this form of advertising rotates users through the number of slots available for each keyword guaranteeing exposure in the top 10 places, this form allows for accurate budgeting and has simular results to PPC without the bidding war on top keywords, a shining example of this is the ISEDN form of CPM advertising.

The bottom line is small business should not even consider competing in bidding wars as this will ultimately lead to failure
