Some have some great content, but just never get the traffic, others suffer from the opposite problem, great marketing and traffic generating techniques, but a dull and pointless website, that nobody ever comes back to.Here are a few important steps you can take to help make sure your website doesn’t fail.Step 1.

Blogging for Money - A Passive Income?

noreply@blogger.com (Master.Ice.Donut) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:57:00 +0000

The idea of passive income is obviously one that many people strive for - and it’s a term that I’ve heard used many times to describe online income streams - including blogging.Unfortunately I wouldn’t use the term passive income to describe blogging for money.While there are a few aspects which could be described as passive - the overall experience that I’ve had is anything but passive.Where is Blogging for Money ‘Passive’?Archives - Perhaps the main area of where blogging has an element of ‘passivity’ to it in how it can earn an income is when it comes to your archives.I’ve been blogging now for close to 4 years and in that time would have published over 20,000 posts across my own blogs. While the writing of these posts is anything but passive (more on that later) the great thing about it is that even after those posts drop off the front page of a blog they continue to have earning potential.

Don't Blog about Blogging, oops

noreply@blogger.com (Master.Ice.Donut) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 14:29:00 +0000

We have all experienced bad service, and will continue to experience bad service for the foreseeable future. Blogs are no exception. We are a nation of Entitled Individuals, we all know that we are owed certain things. Like good writing on a blog, for example. We like to get good service, but are not so fond of giving it.We all tend to believe our parents when they tell us we are important and that our opinions matters. Hence the love of blogging. But they never tell you that it no longer matters once you take a job and work for someone else. Employees are supposed to have the opinion that the Company has, and cease to exist in and of themselves.....

Improving Your Blog Performance

noreply@blogger.com (Master.Ice.Donut) — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:09:00 +0000

How many times have people said that your website is too slow and you found out that there is nothing you can do to improve its performance? The final option most of the times might have been either trying to change your hosting server (may be even blaming him for purposely slowing your website) or finding several ways to optimize your code.
Over last few months I have been facing this same problem. I browsed the web for answers, even went ahead and bought many books on Website Optimization.
