My experience at Reading Festival

Reading festival was amazing! (So amazing that I actually couldn't walk after the first sleep back) And it was one of the best experiences I ever had.

The place was filled with tech! From getting in to the festival, to watching acts.

So getting in was a mission. Me and my friends kinda wimped out of the walk and took the 5 minute bus journey to the site, then we got off and actually didn't have to wait that long! And instead of ripping the tickets, a UV light was used to verify them. Then we walked to our camp site (Where our friend greeted us and set up the tent whilst we went and sorted out other things)
Oh, by the way...we got a tonne of free relentless when we went in!

Then on the friday, we visited the main stage. The lights were very high quality! The first act we watched were Bombay Bicycle Club who were amazing! The mosh pit at the end was extremely painful though.

On saturday, I went and saw Enter Shikari who I loved and Florence and the machine, who was off her face but spectacular. She made the whole crowd hug each other at one point!

Sunday was also a pretty good day, went and saw Foo fighters, Two Door Cinema Club and the Kaiser Chiefs. The Kaiser Chiefs were really good as they got the whole audience involved, and the acoustic cover of 'What you know' By Two Door Cinema club was spectacular.

Overall, I loved my weekend. I made some new friends, saw shit loads of bands play and hardly got any sleep!

Thanks,

Ben.

How to increase traffic to your site (Which I have done unsuccessfully)

I bet there are hundreds of bloggers out there who just want to make thousands off ads. Well, to cut it short - the majority of them don't. But, you can make some extra cash if you know how. I'll tell you some simple steps to increasing your traffic so that more people can click on your ads.

Step 1: Learn SEO

"Search engine optimization (SEO)is the process of improving your websites ranking on search engines. This can be done by adding more links or photo's.


. I would give you a list of websites, but unfortunately I haven't tried looking for them myself. You can also put more links in to your posts or articles. This is what google looks for when ranking your website. 


Step 2: Social networking


This can be a vital step for some websites or blogs, as the likes of FaceBook or Twitter have hundreds of millions of people on their sites. All you have to do is set up a simple page for your site, and wait for the likes/followers to come to you!
You can also try websites such as: Reddit or Digg which actually let you submit your blog to them, and let the devoted readers well...read it. 


If you want me to give you more tips on how to do this, then please don't be shy! leave a comment or message me directly!
Thanks,



Ben.
