When to Start Ads on Your Blog
January 30, 2008
You may be wondering when to start ads on your blog. Most successful bloggers feel that it should be done as soon as you’ve written your first blog post, while others say to wait until you have a regular following.
Those who believe you should start ads on your blog right away feel that if you’re going to add them later on, why not now? Before you get your first few readers, you might as well show the blog as you foresee it.

Your blog will be consistent, which is important to readers. Read more

January 30, 2008
Here are some helpful tips to make money on your blog. First, make sure you consistently post on your blog.

Most of us want to make money blogging. The following are some tips on how to do so.
If you want to have a good sized income blogging, have more than one blog. As they say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you have many interests, blog about them.

Get into a rhythm of writing, making sure that you write consistently in all your blogs. Cover various niches. If your main blog is about computers, but you have an interest in golf, blog about that, too. Write what you love. If you do so, you’ll make money blogging because your enthusiasm will be contagious.

Make Money on Your Blog
January 28, 2008
If you’re like most people, you want to make money on your blog. When you’re just starting out, that might be hard. There are the usual Google Adsense and other advertising programs. However, if you’re new, you won’t make much at first. While waiting for traffic to slowly build, one way to make money on your blog is to take the initiative and contact potential advertisers yourself. For instance, if you blog about Bed and Breakfast inns, approach the ones you’ve written about and ask if they’d like to purchase an ad on your blog. Keep the price low, since you’re new. If your blog is regularly and thoughtfully posted in, they just may take you up on your offer. It’s best to approach potential advertisers who are small and/or just starting out. Your approach is more likely to get their attention, and they’ll probably appreciate your initiative. It shows that you’ll more than likely increase traffic and build a good sized base of regular readers. Read more
Search Engines and Blogs
January 28, 2008
Search engines love blogs. Every time a website page is updated, the next time the search engines come crawling through with their bots, they’ll see that your blog has been updated. This will help in that page’s ranking. That’s why it’s so important to regularly update your blog. Updating for search engine purposes even spreads to comments on your blog. Every time someone writes a comment, it refreshes your blog page. Bear in mind that this doesn’t include spam comments. That will hurt your search engine rankings. Read more
Blog Comments
January 27, 2008
A good way to drive traffic into your blog is to write blog comments on other blogs. Generally, blog comments have an area where you can put your blog’s url. Take advantage of that! Don’t, however, put your url in the comment itself. That is seen as spam and is unwelcome. Make sure your comment is on target and not just a one liner meant to get your blog exposure. Read more
