7 Habits of Professional Bloggers

2011-05-12T17:54:00.000+05:00

Your blog isn’t growing as fast as you’d hoped.

You’re working hard—and trying to follow all the advice which you’ve read online—but you’re not seeing the traffic or subscriber levels that you’d like, and you’re not making quit-your-day-job levels of money. Actually, you’re not making much money at all.

Professional blogging isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme—and I’m sure you’ve discovered that for yourself. But although building a successful, income-producing blog might take a bit longer than you wanted, it’s far from impossible.

In fact, it’s just a case of slowly but surely improving your game. These are seven habits which top bloggers share. Are you missing any of them?

1. Learning

Being willing to learn, consistently, is crucial to success in today’s fast-moving world—but that’s especially true in blogging, where technological changes mean that last year’s top sites are this year’s has-beens.

As I’ve met more and more great bloggers, I’ve been struck how much they invest in learning. They go to conferences, they read ebooks and take ecourses, and they make sure they keep improving their skills in the two areas which matter most: being able to write well and being adept with technology.

First step

Become a regular reader of great blogging and writing related blogs. My top three are:

Take it further

Buy an ebook or take an ecourse that’ll help you take your blogging further. A great one to start with is 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, because it combines solid theory with practical exercises, and it covers a wide range of beginner-friendly topics.

2. Sustainability

Your blogging needs to be sustainable. While you might not be making much money to start with, you should aim to make enough to invest in some learning materials—and to cover your hosting, domain name registration, and other blogging expenses.

You also need to make sure that you’re being realistic about the time you can spend on your blog. Sure, you might have the energy to write all weekend when you first start out—but will you be able to do that month after month? An awful lot of would-be probloggers give up after a few weeks because their blogging schedule just wasn’t sustainable.

First step

If your hosting and other expenses mean that your blog’s currently running at a loss, find one simple way to monetize it. That might mean finding a great affiliate product to recommend, installing a donation button, or putting up Google AdSense.

Take it further

Plan out major purchases—like ecourses or conference tickets—in advance. Look for ways to cover the costs from your blogging income, rather than out of your own pocket. The first time I went to South by South West, I released an ebook which paid for the cost of my trip (you can read how I did it here on ProBlogger).

3. Consistency

Can you imagine reading a post like this on ProBlogger?

Sorry guys, I know I haven’t updated in a month, I’ve just been really busy…

Of course not. In fact, if even a couple of days went by without a ProBlogger update, I bet Darren would be inundated with emails from worried readers asking what was wrong. Professional bloggers post consistently—whether that means once a week or three times a day.

Posting consistently shows that you take your blog seriously. It gets readers into the habit of coming back to read new posts—and it gets you into the habit of writing regularly.

First step

Decide on a sensible, sustainable posting schedule. It’s fine if that means one post a week—readers would rather have one great post every week than seven rushed posts one week then nothing for a month.

Take it further

Write posts ahead of time, so that you’ve got some “banked” for busy periods. You can schedule a post to publish in the future using WordPress, so your posts can keep going up consistently even if you’re jetting off on holiday.

4. Self-discipline

The sun’s shining outside. There’s a show I want to watch. And I really should do the dishes…

It’s all too easy to think up excuses to leave your desk and your blog. Even if you love writing, you probably find it hard to sit down and stay focused while you’re working on a post. I write for a living and I still find it challenging!

That’s why self-discipline is so important for professional bloggers. You need to be able to work on your blog without checking Twitter every two minutes, and without getting distracted by everything else that’s going on around you.

Self-discipline doesn’t just mean sitting down and working, though. It also means knowing when tostop working. That might mean being self-disciplined enough not to check your emails during dinner, or not obsessing over Google Analytics.

First step

Next time you sit down to write a post, close your internet browser first. Don’t open it up again until you’ve been writing for at least 30 minutes.

Take it further

Find ways to bolster your self-discipline by changing your environment:

Take your laptop to a coffee shop that doesn’t have wi-fi.
Get up earlier so you can blog before work, rather than struggling to have motivation to blog when you get home.
Block websites which you find yourself accessing too often.

5. Integrity

This might seem like an odd habit to include on the list, but I think integrity is extremely important for professional bloggers. The best bloggers I know are people who I put a lot of trust in. I buy their products—and I’m confident that these will be worth my money. I buy products which they recommend—and I know that the blogger isn’t just hyping something in order to get a few dollars in commission.

I can’t tell you what integrity means for you and your blog. But I suggest that you give it some thought. It’s very easy to lose readers’ trust—and once you’ve lost it, they won’t be coming back. Worse, they might warn other people to steer clear of you.

First step

Make sure you always disclose affiliate links. This isn’t just to help readers trust you—it’s also a legal requirement if you live in America.

Take it further

Think through any moral grey areas carefully. For instance, would you run a sponsored post on your blog—and if so, would you disclose its status? Would you promote a product which you hadn’t tried out yourself—and if so, would you make that clear to your readers?

6. Courtesy

I’ve seen a few train-wreck situations in my time in the blogosphere, where comment threads have got out of hand, or where two bloggers have attacked one another in their posts. It’s never a pretty sight, and it always gives me a dim view of the people in question.

So courtesy is a vital habit. That means responding politely and pleasantly to people—even if they’ve said something which makes you angry. If your blog is still small, courtesy might also mean replying to all your comments. If your blog is too big to do that, courtesy might prompt you to explain on your “About” page that you can’t reply to everyone but that you do value their comments.

First step

If you’re ever tempted to post a blazing angry comment, stop. Walk away for a while—at least an hour if you can.

Take it further

Consider having a comments policy which encourages (or requires) all your blog’s readers to interact respectfully. That doesn’t mean that everyone has to agree—but they have to avoid using aggressive language or posting personal attacks. Remember that many readers may read the comments, even if they never post one.

7. Growth

Finally, professional bloggers don’t stay in the middle of their cozy comfort zone. If they did, they’d never have got far. They keep on growing—stretching themselves, trying new things, bringing in new readers, and launching new products.

Growth isn’t always easy. There’ll be plenty of times in your blogging journey where you’re nervous about taking the next step. Perhaps you’ve never sent out a guest post, because you’re worried about being rejected. Or perhaps you’ve not made a start on that ebook you’ve got planned, because you know it’ll be a lot of work.

But every single problogger had to write their first guest post, launch their first product and go to their first conference. I’m sure they were all nervous—there’s nothing wrong with that—but what matters is that they did it anyway. And that’s how they, and their blogs, grew.

First step

Try something which challenges you: maybe emailing a blogger who you admire, or sending out your first guest post.

Take it further

Keep looking for new ways to grow. That might mean trying a joint venture, taking an ecourse, going to a conference, writing an ebook, hiring a personal assistant … or almost anything. It’ll probably feel scary the first time you do it, but it’ll quickly get easier.

So—which of these seven habits could you work on today? And if you think I’ve missed out a vital habit, add an eighth (or more!) in the comments.

Some Useful Ideas For Timeless Blog Niches

2011-04-24T11:03:00.001+05:00

Most of the successful bloggers keep stressing over a single point that if you want your blog to sustain its popularity over a longer period of time, it’s a good idea to choose a niche which is timeless. I am sure most of us do understand what do they mean by it but the problem starts when you want to decide up on one, there is some kind of block in the mind that keeps the ideas from flowing freely. So the main intention of me doing this post is to clear up your mind a bit with few ideas so that you can easily overcome the initial block in your mind.

Life Quotes

Believe me or not people search for quotes all the time, some do search for it when they want to make their presentation more interesting, some people search for it to impress their beloved, some others to gain some insight in to what they are going through in life, let it be love or sadness, excitement or whatever. Fact is life quotes are timeless and they make sense no matter when ever you read one, which makes it so special.

Relationship and Dating

People get in to trouble all the time with relationships, if you think you have the right solution for them to make their life better it will reflect in time for ever. Dating ideas can also be a great timeless niche as well, not only you might want to find out some tips to attract your beloved at first sight, case will be the same even for your own children and children of their as well, after all life is all about relationships and its what makes it so special don’t you think?

Spirituality

You can read Bhagavatgita today which was written thousands of years back it makes sense even today to people who read it, if you feel frustrated with life, spirituality is the last hope people seek for in their lives and it’s the case with almost everyone’s life at some point, we need peace, we cannot just go on being excited all the time and the only thing people look in to when they need peace is spirituality.

Recipes

We eat more than we did ever before in the history and that’s the fact. We love to try new recipes all the time, because burger and fries all the time is just boring, we live in a world now where we interact with people from different countries and cultures. Everyone has their own unique recipes which others want to try. Also people want to cook because its way more healthy and relatively less expensive to cook your own food. Most importantly recipes are timeless and I do not have to go on explaining about it.

Health And Weight Loss

We claim ourselves to be more advanced civilization that ever walked on the face of this planet, but that seems to be very deceiving in terms of our health, out scientific knowledge seems to do more harm to our body than good. People keep getting some problem or the other, if you think you have the necessary ideas which will keep your readers more healthy then you should share it in your blog. Like mentioned before we eat more food than what is really needed for our body, what is the result? More people gain more weight and more people want to find a way to lose their weight, in fact weight loss niche is getting better and better, people sell workout machines, pills, secret formulas and what not, these are definitely timeless niches which you might want to consider.

Finding Your Way In To Professional Blogging

2011-04-24T11:02:00.000+05:00

Finding Your Way In To Professional Blogging

What just started as a fun way to share your knowledge and expertise over web when Web 2.0 came in to force, has now evolved itself in to profession un to itself. I do not mean to say that everyone who blogs are doing it as a full time profession, but people who do it as a full time work just keep on soaring high like never before. There are quite substantial reasons as to why one might want to up take blogging as his profession, like freedom of working from home, earning enough money if not more than enough, freedom to work from anywhere in the world. I know you might find these reasons quite intriguing but lets not get our hopes up initially as taking up blogging as your full time work demand a serious foundation with the basics of it.

Identify Your Niche

First and most important step is identifying the topic that interests you to blog about, I know you might think its not a big deal, but let me be very clear here, it is a big deal at least for me or for many out there. Identifying your niche is more like identifying yourself, understanding yourself, you cannot keep writing about the topic you hardly have any interest in all your life, you need to love what you write about, when you love to write about it you tend to produce more unique and interesting articles to your readers and not otherwise.

Experiment, Have No Second Thoughts About It

So how can you go about identifying your niche? Being frank there is no easy way in to it. Start experimenting, just know that experimentation is not a waste of your time or effort, it is through experimenting you gain the real knowledge that comes from your own experience, when you gain the authentic knowledge by experimenting with different niche you will eventually end up finding out the topic of your interest and all the mistakes you did during your experimentation phase will back you up in a great way than you can imagine, no effort really goes waste, just have it at the back of your head all the time.

Be Aware Of Initial Set backs

Do not expect everything would just start to shoot up from the moment you start up with your blog, on the way you will most likely come across some serious set backs, search engines might ban your site for some mistakes you did, your site might get sandboxed so your site might end up getting no visitors at all from search engines for several weeks to few months, there may be hack attempts on your server. Just know that I am not discouraging you while telling you this, there are bound to be initial set backs on your pursuit. Only advice I can give you is face it and do not quit. Always remember the saying “Winner never quits, Quitter never wins”. When you face the set backs you will eventually find a way through your problems and accelerate your progress further more.

Find A Better Way To Monetize Your Traffic

Once you start getting a decent level of visitors to your blog, think of a way on how you can effectively monetize your traffic, thousands of visitors to your site will be just useless to you, if you are not making proper use of it. There are many ways through which you can do it, check out our article on make money blogging to get more ideas on it.

Penetrate Your Niche

As you start to get more popular, start to penetrate your niche further. For example if you are doing a site on gadgets, you can try to create a youtube channel for your blog, get to the showrooms and take pictures of the gadgets you want to review, also make videos of the same, giving information about price and where it can be bought and what not. Start giving more to your visitors through penetrating further in to the niche which will make you to stand out from the crowd.

How to Build Links Without Fancy Tools

2011-04-24T10:58:00.000+05:00

How to Build Links Without Fancy Tools

A question that I get asked quite a bit is something along the lines of "what link building tools do you use?". The honest truth is that I don't use that many on client sites every day. I've certainly paid for and used quite a few over the last few years, but when I first started in SEO, I didn't have the cash to buy tools or subscribe to them. This forced me to do things manually for quite a long time, but it helped me learn how link building really works from the ground up.

I'm still a bit of an old school SEO in some senses. I still believe that anyone learning SEO should not be allowed to use tools straight away and should learn manual processes first. Here are a few things I believe every SEO should do before being allowed anywhere near tools -

Build a website using only Notepad and an FTP program
Manually submit your website to paid and free directories
Write an article which targets a specific keyword
Write a press release in four paragraphs
Hand write META data for an entire site based on a keyword list

I could go on...! But I'm sure you get the idea.

The point is, I believe that its vital to know the manual process so that you learn how these things really work.

In the interests of giving away some actionable tips, I'm going to focus on the link building process and explain how I believe an SEO should start the learning process.

The Tools You can Use

An email program
A spreadsheet
Google

See - I'm not totally mean, you can use some tools!

Below is the step by step process for getting links using only the three tools above. If you follow this process and learn to link build manually, it will help you much more in the long term and force you not to be reliant upon SEO tools. Whilst SEO tools can help you a lot, when it comes to link building, they should only assist your efforts - not do the link building for you.

1. Use Google to Find your Link Targets

I'm not going to talk too much about this, but the key thing here is to learn how to search. Sounds simple, but its something which is often taken for granted. You should start with the basics which I talk about in this post. The key thing here is to start with basic search queries, then learn how to refine those queries to save time and weed out results which you are not interested in. You can do this using some advanced search queries. However before you go off and use those outlined in the SEOmoz guide, try to come up with your own which are tailored to the site you are trying to get links for.

After working on this for a while, you should feel pretty comfortable with finding link targets manually and quickly filtering out the ones that you are not interested in. All by using your own advanced search queries - don't use any tools for this! Trust me, it will help you in the long run.

2. Before ANYTHING find contact details and record in your spreadsheet

Find contact details! So many people spend ages figuring out if the site is a good one and looking for a page where they may get a link from. Then can’t find contact details! Which means you’re a bit screwed – find contact details first.

At this point you will probably have had a quick look through the site and will have a feeling whether or not this site is relevant to you. If you feel it is, then add it to your spreadsheet. Do NOT use any tools to record these sites yet, there are tools out there that allow you to manage link targets in a CRM type system. However you need to learn manually what data you should be capturing about each link target. Some CRM tools allow you to capture tons of data, but do you really need it all? Maybe, maybe not. But the key is to decide for yourself what data you need in order to contact the website about getting a link.

Once you have decided what data you want to capture, put it into your spreadsheet and make it easily sortable in columns.

3. Email the link target straight away

It seems to be the norm to collect link targets into a big spreadsheet, then email them all in one go. Sure this can work, but this isn’t the best way to develop link building skills. I’d advise you to send the outreach email straight away whilst the site is fresh in your mind. This also means you have to write an email that isn’t templated and is totally personal to them – this is fine. This will help you develop a sense of how to personalise emails to give yourself as much chance as possible of getting a link.

It is very important to learn how to craft an outreach email from scratch. At this point, do not write a template. It isn't the best way to learn. Make each and every email personal to the link target, this will teach you the value of personalising an email and exactly how you can do so.

4. Track your progress in a spreadsheet

As mentioned above, forget any fancy CRM or tracking systems, you’re still learning the ropes. Do it the basic way and use a spreadsheet. This will teach you to keep things simple and to only collect the data which is truly valuable, it will force you not to collect tons of metrics and details that you don’t really need.

As you email each target, put a note in the spreadsheet so you know whats going on and can sort by who you have already contacted.

5. The response or follow up

If you haven’t had a response after a few days, send a short, friendly follow up to them. If you still don’t get a reply, I’d leave them be. If you have a response, obviously make sure you respond promptly! If the response you get isn’t positive, still reply to them in a friendly way. Perhaps ask them if its ok to contact them in the future if there is other stuff you have which may be of interest to them.

Keep track of the responses in your spreadsheet. You can mark each response with traffic lights to make it easy to see at a glance what the responses have been like -

Green - good response, probably going to get a link
Amber - warm response, will need some more work
Red - no way am I getting a link!

6. Record links secured

Make a note of the links that you have secured in your spreadsheet. Think about what metrics you should record about each one. Do you need the following?

URL
Anchor text
Page being linked to
Cache date
Domain Authority
PageRank

I'm not saying you need all of these, you should decide for yourself what is important and how you are going to measure the value of a link.

21 Tactics to Increase Blog Traffic

21 Tactics to Increase Blog Traffic

A considerable portion of my consulting time has recently revolved around the optimization of corporate blogs (or the addition of blogs to revamped sites). As usual, I find a pattern emerging in the strategies that need attention and the pitfalls that must be avoided. So, rather than charging $400 an hour to give advice on the subject, I thought it would be valuable to share many of the most common pieces of advice here on the blog (business part of Rand fights with open source Rand, but loses, as usual).

Choose the Right Blog Software (or Custom Build)
The right blog CMS makes a big difference. If you want to set yourself apart, I recommend creating a custom blog solution - one that can be completely customized to your users. In most cases,WordPress, Blogger, MovableType or Typepad will suffice, but building from scratch allows you to be very creative with functionality and formatting. The best CMS is something that's easy for the writer(s) to use and brings together the features that allow the blog to flourish. Think about how you want comments, archiving, sub-pages, categorization, multiple feeds and user accounts to operate in order to narrow down your choices. OpenSourceCMS is a very good tool to help you select a software if you go that route.

Host Your Blog Directly on Your Domain
Hosting your blog on a different domain from your primary site is one of the worst mistakes you can make. A blog on your domain can attract links, attention, publicity, trust and search rankings - by keeping the blog on a separate domain, you shoot yourself in the foot. From worst to best, your options are - Hosted (on a solution like Blogspot or Wordpress), on a unique domain (at least you can 301 it in the future), on a subdomain (these can be treated as unique from the primary domain by the engines) and as a sub-section of the primary domain (in a subfolder or page - this is the best solution).
-
Write Title Tags with Two Audiences in Mind
First and foremost, you're writing a title tag for the people who will visit your site or have a subscription to your feed. Title tags that are short, snappy, on-topic and catchy are imperative. You also want to think about search engines when you title your posts, since the engines can help to drive traffic to your blog. A great way to do this is to write the post and the title first, then run a few searches at Overture, WordTracker & KeywordDiscovery to see if there is a phrasing or ordering that can better help you to target "searched for" terms.
-
Participate at Related Forums & BlogsWhatever industry or niche you're in, there are bloggers, forums and an online community that's already active. Depending on the specificity of your focus, you may need to think one or two levels broader than your own content to find a large community, but with the size of the participatory web today, even the highly specialized content areas receive attention. A great way to find out who these people are is to use Technorati to conduct searches, then sort by number of links (authority). Del.icio.us tags are also very useful in this process, as are straight searches at the engines (Ask.com's blog search in particular is of very good quality).
-
Tag Your Content
Technorati is the first place that you should be tagging posts. I actually recommend having the tags right on your page, pointing to the Technorati searches that you're targeting. There are other good places to ping - del.icio.us and Flickr being the two most obvious (the only other one isBlogmarks, which is much smaller). Tagging content can also be valuable to help give you a "bump" towards getting traffic from big sites like Reddit, Digg & StumbleUpon (which requires that you download the toolbar, but trust me - it's worth it). You DO NOT want to submit every post to these sites, but that one out of twenty (see tactic #18) is worth your while.
-
Launch Without Comments (and Add Them Later)There's something sad about a blog with 0 comments on every post. It feels dead, empty and unpopular. Luckily, there's an easy solution - don't offer the ability to post comments on the blog and no one will know that you only get 20 uniques a day. Once you're upwards of 100 RSS subscribers and/or 750 unique visitors per day, you can open up the comments and see light activity. Comments are often how tech-savvy new visitors judge the popularity of a site (and thus, its worth), so play to your strengths and keep your obscurity private.
-
Don't Jump on the Bandwagon
Some memes are worthy of being talked about by every blogger in the space, but most aren't. Just because there's huge news in your industry or niche DOES NOT mean you need to be covering it, or even mentioning it (though it can be valuable to link to it as an aside, just to integrate a shared experience into your unique content). Many of the best blogs online DO talk about the big trends - this is because they're already popular, established and are counted on to be a source of news for the community. If you're launching a new blog, you need to show people in your space that you can offer something unique, different and valuable - not just the same story from your point of view. This is less important in spaces where there are very few bloggers and little online coverage and much more in spaces that are overwhelmed with blogs (like search, or anything else tech-related).
-
Link Intelligently
When you link out in your blog posts, use convention where applicable and creativity when warranted, but be aware of how the links you serve are part of the content you provide. Not every issue you discuss or site you mention needs a link, but there's a fine line between overlinking and underlinking. The best advice I can give is to think of the post from the standpoint of a relatively uninformed reader. If you mention Wikipedia, everyone is familiar and no link is required. If you mention a specific page at Wikipedia, a link is necessary and important. Also, be aware that quoting other bloggers or online sources (or even discussing their ideas) without linking to them is considered bad etiquette and can earn you scorn that could cost you links from those sources in the future. It's almost always better to be over-generous with links than under-generous. And link condoms? Only use them when you're linking to something you find truly distasteful or have serious apprehension about.
-
Invite Guest Bloggers
Asking a well known personality in your niche to contribute a short blog on their subject of expertise is a great way to grow the value and reach of your blog. You not only flatter the person by acknowledging their celebrity, you nearly guarantee yourself a link or at least an association with a brand that can earn you readers. Just be sure that you really are getting a quality post from someone that's as close to universally popular and admired as possible (unless you want to start playing the drama linkbait game, which I personally abhor). If you're already somewhat popular, it can often be valuable to look outside your space and bring in guest authors who have a very unique angle or subject matter to help spice up your focus. One note about guest bloggers - make sure they agree to have their work edited by you before it's posted. A disagreement on this subject after the fact can have negative ramifications.
-
Eschew Advertising (Until You're Popular)
I hate AdSense on blogs. Usually, I ignore it, but I also cast a sharp eye towards the quality of the posts and professionalism of the content when I see AdSense. That's not to say that contextual advertising can't work well in some blogs, but it needs to be well integrated into the design and layout to help defer criticism. Don't get me wrong - it's unfair to judge a blog by its cover (or, in this case, its ads), but spend a lot of time surfing blogs and you'll have the same impression - low quality blogs run AdSense and many high quality ones don't. I always recommend that whether personal or professional, you wait until your blog has achieved a level of success before you start advertising. Ads, whether they're sponsorships, banners, contextual or other, tend to have a direct, negative impact on the number of readers who subscribe, add to favorites and link - you definitely don't want that limitation while you're still trying to get established.
-
Go Beyond Text in Your Posts
Blogs that contain nothing but line after line of text are more difficult to read and less consistently interesting than those that offer images, interactive elements, the occasional multimedia content and some clever charts & graphs. Even if you're having a tough time with non-text content, think about how you can format the text using blockquotes, indentation, bullet points, etc. to create a more visually appealing and digestible block of content.
-
Cover Topics that Need Attention
In every niche, there are certain topics and questions that are frequently asked or pondered, but rarely have definitive answers. While this recommendation applies to nearly every content-based site, it's particularly easy to leverage with a blog. If everyone in the online Nascar forums is wondering about the components and cost of an average Nascar vehicle - give it to them. If the online stock trading industry is rife with questions about the best performing stocks after a terrorist threat, your path is clear. Spend the time and effort to research, document and deliver and you're virtually guaranteed link-worthy content that will attract new visitors and subscribers.
-
Pay Attention to Your Analytics
Visitor tracking software can tell you which posts your audience likes best, which ones don't get viewed and how the search engines are delivering traffic. Use these clues to react and improve your strategies. Feedburner is great for RSS and I'm a personal fan of Indextools. Consider adding action tracking to your blog, so you can see what sources of traffic are bringing the best quality visitors (in terms of time spent on the site, # of page views, etc). I particularly like having the "register" link tagged for analytics so I can see what percentage of visitors from each source is interested enough to want to leave a comment or create an account.
-
Use a Human Voice
Charisma is a valuable quality, both online and off. Through a blog, it's most often judged by the voice you present to your users. People like empathy, compassion, authority and honesty. Keep these in the forefront of your mind when writing and you'll be in a good position to succeed. It's also critical that you maintain a level of humility in your blogging and stick to your roots. When users start to feel that a blog is taking itself too seriously or losing the characteristics that made it unique, they start to seek new places for content. We've certainly made mistakes (even recently) that have cost us some fans - be cautious to control not only what you say, but how you say it. Lastly - if there's a hot button issue that has you posting emotionally, temper it by letting the post sit in draft mode for an hour or two, re-reading it and considering any revisions. With the advent of feeds, once you publish, there's no going back.
-
Archive Effectively
The best archives are carefully organized into subjects and date ranges. For search traffic (particularly long tail terms), it can be best to offer the full content of every post in a category on the archive pages, but from a usability standpoint, just linking to each post is far better (possibly with a very short snippet). Balance these two issues and make the decision based on your goals. A last note on archiving - pagination in blogging can be harmful to search traffic, rather than beneficial (as you provide constantly changing, duplicate content pages). Pagination is great for users who scroll to the bottom and want to see more, though, so consider putting a "noindex" in the meta tag or in the robots.txt file to keep spiders where they belong - in the well-organized archive system.
-
Implement Smart URLs
The best URL structure for blogs is, in my opinion, as short as possible while still containing enough information to make an educated guess about the content you'll find on the page. I don't like the 10 hyphen, lengthy blog titles that are the byproduct of many CMS plugins, but they are certainly better than any dynamic parameters in the URL. Yes - I know I'm not walking the talk here, and hopefully it's something we can fix in the near future. To those who say that one dynamic parameter in the URL doesn't hurt, I'd take issue - just re-writing a ?ID=450 to /450 has improved search traffic considerably on several blogs we've worked with.
-
Reveal as Much as Possible
The blogosphere is in love with the idea of an open source world on the web. Sharing vast stores of what might ordinarily be considered private information is the rule, rather than the exception. If you can offer content that's usually private - trade secrets, pricing, contract issues, and even the occasional harmless rumor, your blog can benefit. Make a decision about what's off-limits and how far you can go and then push right up to that limit in order to see the best possible effects. Your community will reward you with links and traffic.
-
Only One Post in Twenty Can Be Linkbait
Not every post is worthy of making it to the top of Digg, Del.icio.us/popular or even a mention at some other blogs in your space. Trying to over-market every post you write will result in pushback and ultimately lead to negative opinions about your efforts. The less popular your blog is, the harder it will be to build excitement around a post, but the process of linkbait has always been trial and error - build, test, refine and re-build. Keep creating great ideas and bolstering them with lots of solid, everyday content and you'll eventually be big enough to where one out of every 20-40 posts really does become linkbait.
-
Make Effective Use of High Traffic DaysIf you do have linkbait, whether by design or by accident, make sure to capitalize. When you hit the front page of Digg, Reddit, Boing Boing, or, on a smaller scale, attract a couple hundred visitors from a bigger blog or site in your space, you need to put your best foot forward. Make sure to follow up on a high traffic time period with 2-3 high quality posts that show off your skills as a writer, your depth of understanding and let visitors know that this is content they should be sticking around to see more of. Nothing kills the potential linkbait "bump" faster than a blog whose content doesn't update for 48 hours after they've received a huge influx of visitors.
-
Create Expectations and Fulfill Them
When you're writing for your audience, your content focus, post timing and areas of interest will all become associated with your personal style. If you vary widely from that style, you risk alienating folks who've come to know you and rely on you for specific data. Thus, if you build a blog around the idea of being an analytical expert in your field, don't ignore the latest release of industry figures only to chat about an emotional issue - deliver what your readers expect of you and crunch the numbers. This applies equally well to post frequency - if your blog regularly churns out 2 posts a day, having two weeks with only 4 posts is going to have an adverse impact on traffic. That's not to say you can't take a vacation, but you need to schedule it wisely and be prepared to lose RSS subscribers and regulars. It's not fair, but it's the truth. We lose visitors every time I attend an SES conference and drop to one post every two days (note - guest bloggers and time-release posts can help here, too).
-
Build a Brand
Possibly one of the most important aspects of all in blogging is brand-building. As Zefrank noted, to be a great brand, you need to be a brand that people want to associate themselves with and a brand that people feel they derive value from being a member. Exclusivity, insider jokes, emails with regulars, the occasional cat post and references to your previous experiences can be off putting for new readers, but they're solid gold for keeping your loyal base feeling good about their brand experience with you. Be careful to stick to your brand - once you have a definition that people like and are comfortable with, it's very hard to break that mold without severe repercussions. If you're building a new blog, or building a low-traffic one, I highly recommend writing down the goals of your brand and the attributes of its identity to help remind you as you write.

The easiest way to apply for an Adsense account

2011-04-04T07:40:00.000+05:00

Two Methods
I gather that you're here because you know what Adsense is, but as yet you don't have an Adsense account.

Maybe you haven't tried applying one yet, or you were rejected the first time, or maybe you've tried a few times and so far it's been without luck.

Here I will tell you different two ways for you to apply to get an Adsense account.

Method 1 requires patience.

Method 2 is surprising a lot quicker.

Method 1
You register a blogspot account at blogger.com

Blogger.com is owned by Google, for whatever that's worth. Blogger.com is where you register the account, Blogspot.com is where it is hosted.

I suggest that you choose a good name, something that is a strong keyword for the topic that you're going to blog about. Choose a topic that you're familiar with, and that interests you.

Now make a post every couple of days. Make them informative. Bonus points if the content is original. Do this for about 8 blog entries, then apply for an Adsense account. Make sure you post a couple more entries while you're awaiting approval (this could take anywhere from 1 to 4 days, speaking from personal experience and what I've seen of others).

Once you have your approval, you can add the Adsense code to your blogspot blog as well as your other sites (it's at your discretion, but make sure your other sites fall within what is acceptable in the Adsense ToS.

Don't abandon your Blogspot account too soon. Maybe blog in it once a week. If the content is original then you could start getting some good Search Engine rankings for your pages. And it could get you a little traffic. Which you can then send to your other sites.

ATTENTION!

Google have changed the rules! They now want people to have a track record of being a good publisher. Probably long overdue. But if you try and get rejected, you'll likely get an email saying that you're better off having 6 months behind you. And my suggestion: make sure your hubs (or articles, depending where you're publishing) are top notch!
Method 2

You don't need a website. You don't even need content. Yet.

If you haven't created an Adsense account before, and apply through HubPages, then Google will approve your account before you even need to write or publish any content.

That's right, no need to create content before applying to Google Adsense when you're applying through HubPages.

Read the Hubpages FAQ here.

Sign up for Hubpages here.
What Next?

After you've registered a Hubpages Author account (and followed the updated instructions above and to the left) go to Affiliate Settings (it's in your My Account page, under Affiliate Settings).

On the "Affiliate Settings" page you'll see next to where it says "Adsense" a link to "Sign Up".

It will then ask "Do you already have a Google AdSense account?". If you say yes, it'll ask for your Publisher ID and then in a few simple steps you will have linked and activated your Adsense Publisher ID to your Hubpage account. However you're here to start an account, so select No,

Tick the box for "I have read and understand Google's terms of service"

And click the button "Signup for AdSense" and away you go!
What Now?

After registering for your Hubpages account and your Adsense Publisher ID I recommend you read these articles: Adsense Beginners Guide and Click Fraud.

Aside from the Google's AdSense Program Policies and the Terms and Conditions they're probably two of the most informative articles you need to read and understand before you embark on your Adsense Adventure.

How To Make Money Online

2011-04-02T18:56:00.002+05:00

In today’s economy, many people are seeking ways to earn money online. Not all methods of earning extra income online amount to scams. Some of the ways to earn money over the Internet include going to freelance sites to find work; writing web content; setting up a website; taking online surveys; setting up an online tutoring service;selling photos and affiliate marketing.

To begin, going to a freelance website and looking for work is a solid way to make money online. Freelance sites list thousands of legitimate jobs that run on either a temporary or full-time basis. Some of the possible jobs are administrative, writing, and technical positions. People typically bid on jobs, and the winners of the bids are awarded the positions. Job seekers can also post information about themselves and their qualifications on the freelance sites in the quest tomake money over the Internet. People can set up websites or blogs on any topic and have text ads placed on them or promote their marketing opportunity or affiliate links. Other people’s clicking on the ads as well as affiliate links will lead to the website owner’s earning more revenue.

Taking online surveys is an additional method of earning money online. Many such survey sites exist. When considering one of them, a person has to look out for sites that charge fees, and he or she should also see if any complaints were lodged against the site(s) in the past. Unfortunately, many scams as well as sites that barely send out any surveys exist. Once a person finds a good survey site, he or she will be sent surveys typically a few times a month, and payment will be sent upon his or her completing surveys.

Setting up an online tutoring service is yet another solid way to make money over the Internet. This position is especially excellent for a teacher or tutor who would like to make some supplemental income. Tutors can provide assistance in one or many subjects in which they have expertise. For example, a high school math teacher can set up an online tutoring service that assists students with math questions on standardized tests.

Affiliate marketing is probably the way most people earn money online. Affiliate Marketing basically means you become a middle man between the company or product and the customer. You direct the customer to that company or product and gain a commission if they buy or join. How do you do that? Well, buy advertising your affiliate links, which are given to you by the company you join. Your links lead the customer to your landing page or the companies website. Obviously the more traffic you send the more chance of making money.

In conclusion, there are many ways where people can earn extra money online. These include: going to freelance sites to find work; writing web content; setting up a website; taking online surveys; setting up an online tutoring service; and selling photos and affiliate marketing.

Typical Errors Of Inexperienced Money Makers.

2011-04-02T18:55:00.002+05:00

I do not consider myself to be a guru of earnings on the Internet, moreover I wouldn’t like to teach somebody to live in this world. But at the same time I can’t ignore problems of newcomers trying to earn cash on the net. So here below you can get acquainted with some thoughts of mine regarding this matter.

In fact it’s not difficult to predict what many newcomers think about. Of course they think about freebie from morning till night. The matter is that people are used to hoping to get some freebie bonuses. We are tired to warn them of this danger but any way these obstinate creatures go on with exchanging electronic currencies at suspiciously unreal rates and join new financial pyramids. How obstinate they are. In fact it’s just one of the typical features of human nature to my great regret. So there’s no wonder that more and more people become new victims of fraudsters every day because of this.

I’m sure that you have seen many times attractive titles such as “business-package”, promising tons of cash instantly even if you are a novice in this field. Just let me reveal some secret peculiarities of such schemes. In the best case, these benefits are spread out on materials which are always available on the net. But in the worst case you can obtain a set of worthless disabled schemes such as “a collection of sites where you can earn up to $ 30 per survey or something like this. If you think that by buying a certain money making guide you are going to do nothing then you are wrong. On the contrary you’ll have to work any way even in this situation.

Of course many people can’t resist when they hear “instant money”. Unfortunately these words make many people vulnerable and hopeless like little babies. Fraudsters keep on luring people into their traps by giving them sweet promises of becoming rich with a supersonic speed. In such a way they squeeze out money of people and in spite of numerous warnings people keep on trying suspicious money making schemes and there’s no wonder that they suffer from this. Of course it’s their own fault in this case. In fact it’s unlikely that you can create a promising selling website on free hosting and start earning big money next day. On the contrary you need a dedicated server and knowledge of programming languages.

Furthermore people also have such essential drawbacks as irresponsibility. From my point of view these negative qualities are more harmful then myriads of fraud schemes. You can simply avoid fraud schemes. But you can’t ignore the necessity of getting rid of those negative human features if you have them of course. So as you can see money making errors are inside of you.

Opportunities To Earn Quickly On The Net

2011-04-02T18:54:00.005+05:00

I should inform you that almost every day I receive letters from various people who keep on asking me to teach or tell them how to start making money online. By the way many people come in e-commerce like this I mean that they haven’t got experience from the very beginning. So as follows from this we should find that universal advice concerning earning money online.

My friends, if I knew the exact answer to this question, it would be probably the richest man on the planet, because the book with such valuable information would be sold around the world with multi-million copies. But any way I know one evident thing for sure. So I’m convinced that a beginner without experience and knowledge will not be able to start earning big money tomorrow. On the contrary it should take you much time to start deriving regular incomes on the net.

To my great regret many people have already become victims of one extremely harmful myth telling everybody that work in the network is just an easy walk along the seacoast or something like this. These people really think that they need to do nothing while their electronic purse will receive more and more cash every minute. They really hope that they will face an everlasting money stream. Moreover certain stories are spread depicting kind sponsors, who generously pay its lucky partners tens thousand of dollars for doing nothing. Can you imagine that there are really such guys who are likely to believe in this trash?

In most cases people start making money with different sponsors. From my point of view almost every second Internet money maker once tried doing this. Of course it’s not difficult to foresee results in this case. Perhaps you’ve already tried this I’m sure. How do you like this? I’m convinced that you hate such an activity. Perhaps you hate yourself for your maniac terrific persistence with which you kept on clicking and viewing ads while receiving very small amounts of cash. Of course these sums are really ridiculous and miserable for anybody. Now you can’t understand why you spent so much time on doing such worthless things. But many people around the world get into the same trap every day to my great regret.

But the answer is rather simple. In fact you can either become a freelancer or make a selling website. From my point of view these two ways of earning online are considered to be the most reliable among many others. Making a commercial website requires corresponding skills which should be acquired. But if you haven’t enough time for learning but you are specialist in your field then you can try freelance which is a really good solution for creative people. I hope you are creative enough.

Talking About Useless Activities On The Net.

2011-04-02T18:54:00.002+05:00

Perhaps you know for sure that Internet is just a mirror where we can see an exact reflection of our human society. And just like in real life, there are so many suspicious projects on the net. They promise us to earn a lot of money very quickly or even doing nothing.

Thank God that those guys who like freebies and quick money online are becoming smaller in percentage. But any way hunters for instant money appear on the net every day. And certainly they become victims of numerous fraud schemes every day. It seems to me we can do little to prevent this because people have a certain inclination to try such schemes even if they seem to be suspicious. To cut a long story short I can simply tell you that people really believe in quick money. And therefore there will always be cheaters, organizers of various types of financial pyramids. In fact we can blame our human greed for this. I think that I should my task now is to illustrate the essence of such programs. It seems to me that my duty is to express my views on the subject and tell you my point of view on making money on the net.

So, I do not think that business on the Internet can include various sponsorship programs, because business is rather an opposite thing from my point of view. I think that we can simply call this “doing nothing” because in this activity you needn’t be concerned with the quality and volume of your work. To be exact when being involved in this activity you simply click ads and view them while getting credited for this. Certainly in this case you can get only miserable amounts of cash and nothing else. But on the other hand you can certainly earn but only to pay for your Internet access.

Now let’s find out who these guys work. It’s interesting to know why they pay money for clicking. Very briefly, the essence of these programs can be described as follows. A particular sponsor has an agreement with several advertisers or advertising agencies that are willing to pay a “sponsor” a certain sum for one click on an advertising banner. And this sponsor can “honestly” advertise these sites, for example, by creating sites with high traffic.

But this sponsor can do another trick. You simply come across an advertisement inviting you to take part in one promising project. Yes, I mean that this sponsor can simply hire guys like you to organize regular visits of certain sites. By the way in order to accelerate your interest they can offer you a referral program. It’s supposed that if you manage to attract many referrals then you can give up clicking and your referrals will do it for you. But even in this case it’s not a kind of business, it’s just a sort of craziness. I hope you’ll avoid this in your money making.

Talking About Your Blogging Activity.

2011-04-02T18:53:00.005+05:00

Hi, in my previous articles I dealt with such an extremely popular topic as blogging. In fact we should confess that blogging is one of the most popular topics in the sphere of money making. So it seems to me that I’ll never give up writing articles about blogging because I’m also interested in this topic, I earn money in this way and furthermore I’d like to share my ideas on this matter with you right now. So here below you can find some worthy tips closely connected with blogging. I think that they will be helpful for you.

So I’m sure that you should add your posts wisely. I mean that you shouldn’t combine days with plenty of posts and months of their absence. As for me I’m always surprised when some bloggers post several post a day and then disappear for a week. Unlike such crazy guys you should be able to distribute posts evenly. For example you can add several posts in few days. If you have written for two posts then you can automatically add a new one in one or two days. The main thing is that your readers simply get used to the continuous updating of the blog. If you don’t ruin their expectations they will come back again every day and even bring new guys. Of course you need new readers, so you’d better be concerned with a regular update of your blog.

It goes without saying that you should constantly update the version of the engine and all your plug-ins. In fact it’s a simple principle of safety. Of course I agree that WordPress is a great CMS, but we should realize that it’s rather vulnerable. Perhaps we think too much about weak points. But any way I’m sure that we should be on the safe side.

Just keep in mind that there’s no need for you to write every day just to show everybody that you follow your duties. Try to write often, but you aren’t obliged to publish anything on a daily basis in order to support the image of an active dynamic blogger. It’s a rather a foolish approach from my point of view. In this case the quality of your posts can be reduced considerably and therefore you’ll lose a great number of your readers.

Of course you should also make an interesting and unique design. In fact design is not important in blogging and it’s true. But an interesting, unique and creative design increases interest to your blog. Roughly speaking an occasional visitor perceives the design of your blog first of all and only then he starts reading or simply rejects it. So you should make your visitors fall in love with the design of your blog. This will guarantee you a stable success.

The First Things To Know To Earn Money On The Web.

2011-04-02T18:53:00.002+05:00

Looking through the internet, you can find the numbers of sites that teach how to make money in the internet, offer different money making opportunities and quick money ideas that can improve your financial status and let you get rich online. It is all clear that online marketing is a hard work and in order to make money on the web you need to invest either your time or money into your online marketing activity.

We have to point out that not everyone who has a site or a blog is able to make money with it. Starting the online business requires much work and patience. Never be afraid to make mistakes. This is the way to learn and get a good experience that will help you later. You can work on your project 12 hours a day with no result or invest much money and get nothing. Every internet marketer went through this path and if you are ambitious enough you will see high results in the future.

When I started my online business few years ago, I didn’t know much about the internet marketing thus I ignored all the paid services that promised me to boost my traffic and generate me much income. If someone promises you much money if you pay for his service, so why he doesn’t use his service himself in order to earn more money? That’s why I have decided to use the free methods for promoting my online business.

Being a newbie, I have decided to invest my time. I cannot say that all my time investments were correct and made me income. But they gave me something that is great for every internet marketer – experience. This is how I learned to work in the internet. Getting my making money on the web experience was a long and tough process that was followed by a lot of disappointments and mistakes. But it was worth it, because this is the only way to learn the internet marketing in order to succeed and make money on the web.

Later, when my site started brining me some money, I felt safe in what I was doing and started to invest my earnings into my business for its further development. It made my earnings growing even more and I could already be proud of my job.

This is the way the system works, and it may take a while before you see the real earnings coming from your internet business. If you are interested to to make money working online, don’t be too naive thinking that it is an easy job and you can make high income during a night. Unfortunately it is not so and you must face the difficulties of the process and motivate yourself for success if you want to achieve it.

In fact wise owners of commercial websites understand that investments do not pay off for a couple of days. I also hope that you understand this truth. In fact making money online with the help of commercial website is considered to be an extremely difficult affair which requires a certain degree of persistence and certainly your everlasting burning desire. Sure I don’t take into account a great number of obstacles which might arise on your way. Oh, poor money maker you can’t realize how many traps are there on your way. But of course it’s not the reason to get frustrated to my mind because there’s one perfect solution for you to cope with overwhelming problems. Certainly I mean that you can monetize your money making website and wait for results.

From my point of view it’s highly advisable for you to answer some questions mentioned here below. Are there similar sites that are appropriate for your subject, on which articles and paid banners are placed? Can you become a competitor for them? How high can you rise in a competitive environment? How well do you know the theme for your future site? Will it be absorbing for other people? Do you know how to get along with search engines and redirectors? Are you ready to invest money in creating content, design and so on? How much time are you going to spend for all of this? Are you a hard worker? How soon do you plan to earn the first revenue from your website?

If you mange to answer all those answers positively then you are welcome to monetize your website. I should say that I know all of this thank to my years of experience. I worked with a variety of Internet resources. I should say that I never start any project without executing the following algorithm of actions. This algorithm can be explained by my necessity to analyze competitors, estimate the budget for promotion, identify the concerns of advertisers to the site. That’s my algorithm. This is the minimum “set of webmaster” before creating a new resource from my point of view.

Here are a few key mistakes typical for beginners. They begin to set pop-ups, distracting blocks of contextual advertising and in the end they begin to sell non-thematic links. Such tactics can be effective only at the initial stage. And in the end they undergo a real crash to my great regret. I think that the best way of promotion for these people is establishing direct contacts with advertisers. I advise to use only thematic affiliate links in this case. As you can see monetization of sites is just the matter of experience. I don’t doubt that you’ll gain this experience very soon.

Important Advices For Your Blogging.

2011-04-02T18:52:00.003+05:00

Hi, it’s me ones again. And as you might have guessed I’m going to continue with my giving essential advices for blogging. So I’d like to skip words of introduction in this case because I’ve got a burning desire to start giving advices right now. I hope you are going to read my review very attentively.

First of all you should hand over full posts in RSS feeds. On this account there are so many points of view I should say. Many guys agree that full posts for RSS are more preferable to compare with stumps. After all many people like to read posts only in the RSS feed even without passing on the blog itself. On the other hand it is logical to assume that stumps will be rather an efficient RSS solution for the blog. You can make several experiments with RSS if you wish.

Of course you should make the menu top notes. Just imagine a man who comes to your blog for the first time. What is his interest? You should get him interested. He should leave his comments and it’s up to you to make him do this. Make a list of top notes which you can be proud of and place them high in a separate menu.

Do not restart WordPress plug-ins. Of course, I understand it’s cool to test new plug-ins upgrading your blog functionality. But the matter is that there are negative features in this. First, the new version of WordPress can work inappropriately with certain plug-ins. In such a way you can get many system errors. Secondly, each new plug-in is an additional load. Thirdly, some plug-ins are considered to be extra opportunities for hackers. Summarizing the value of all mentioned above I can advise you to put on the blog only those plug-ins you really need.

Make an extended form of subscription. The original RSS button in the form of a drunken insect is rather a cool thing but it fails to be effective to my great regret. I recommend you to apply an expanded form of subscription through RSS, email, Twitter and so on.

Perhaps it’s going to be necessary to hold mini-competitions. I understand that in most cases conducting substantial competitions might appear an unreal thing. But to my mind mini-competitions are rather real. In such a way you can enforce your readers’ faithfulness.

Do not exceed the number of banners. Just place three banners, this is normal to my mind. So it would be an appropriate solution to place two advertisers in one place. Of course, in this case money will go lower. But any way you’ll gain more benefits in this way. Your blog should look neat first of all. I hope you’ll implement all of this without problems.

Factors Affecting The Search Engine Optimization In Google.

2011-04-02T18:51:00.003+05:00

Hi, I’d like to talk about factors which are considered to be very important for the search engine optimization, especially Goggle. As an experienced money maker you can’t deny the role of search engine optimization for your Internet business. I’ve done a good and really big job by making the list of these factors. So here below you can read them all.

So I’d like to start with keywords, because without them your constant cash flow is unreal. So in this case the first and the second word are the most valuable ones. Then think about keywords in the domain name. You should also pay attention to the title tag description of the document. These 5-9 words should not contain special characters.

Then you should check the description. There should be no more than 200 characters. I should say that Google doesn’t see this any longer but it is still often used by other PC. Now look at keywords tag. It should be less than 10 words. Keywords should appear in the body of the page from two or more times to be effective, otherwise they may be regarded as spam. Keywords should also be present in links to internal pages. All internal links must be valid. You should apply a tree-like menu structure for any page and it shouldn’t exceed 4 levels of nesting. There should be an availability of navigation in the bottom of the page.

As for the domain level, I can tell you that Edu is the most promising, followed by Org, and Com. Since they contain a lot of spam, Google will be subjected to rigorous analysis of these sites. The size of the text on the page shouldn’t exceed 100K and it shouldn’t be smaller than 1K.

It is important to update pages quite regularly. I’d like to stress that the longer the page exists without changes the more Google trusts it. Moreover Google does not like pages with frequently updated external links. And what about the refresh rate? The matter is that spiders crawl the refresh rate very often. As for the length of URL you should make it as short as possible. The maximum size should be 2000 characters, preferably up to 100 characters or less. The volume of the site should be also taken into consideration because Google appreciates mainly large sites with well-organized navigation and efficient and understandable structure. The age of the site is also essential in this case because Google believes that the older the domain the better it is. I think that exactly because of this you should start your Internet business as soon as possible. Moreover you should have enough time to think about all these requirements mentioned above. I hope you’ll meet all these requirements successfully.

Go On With Your Blogging.

2011-04-02T18:51:00.000+05:00

Some of my readers want to know what a topic is supposed to be the best for their future blogging. To my mind it doesn’t matter what you are going to choose for your main topic. The main thing is that you should really like what you write and nothing else. As for me I’m really tired of answering this question so many times. So it’s up to you to choose the theme you like best of all. For example you can devote your blog to such a popular topic as Forex trading if you wish and certainly if you really know what this Forex trading means. It goes without saying that you should try to rely on personal experience rather than on translation of foreign articles on a particular subject. The main thing is that even from an unsuccessful experience you should be able to make useful conclusions. Believe me, in spite of opposite opinions in most cases people prefer reading exactly about a bad experience rather than about a good one.

You should do your best to provide your visitors with a better readability of your posts. I hope you know how a readable post looks like. It should look like in such a way to be attractive for readers. Perhaps you wonder how you can improve this readability. First of all it’s not advisable for you to make your font too small. For example not so long ago I was used to applying exactly WebMilk. But then after a while it appeared to be too small for the vast majority of my readers. As the result I had to increase it to please my visitors. Of course you know that I can’t ignore their expectations regarding my blog. Secondly don’t forget about pictures. Of course, I mean pictures in the subject. Thirdly, do not forget to break the text into paragraphs. And just another word about pictures. You should use only professional photos. So these are all tips for this day. Perhaps next week I’ll tell you more if I don’t forget of course.

Describing Features Of Contextual Advertising.

2011-04-02T18:50:00.002+05:00

This article is for beginners in the sphere of advertising , for people who are just beginning to engage in contextual advertising or are interested in it and they haven’t decided yet to take up the case or not. From my point of view this article will be also interesting for professionals who have long worked with contextual advertising because they can have an excellent opportunity to brush up their knowledge or even learn something new.

To begin with let’s define what contextual advertising means. Contextual advertising is advertising that appears only on the user’s request in response to a user’s query and contextually targeted ads in connection with his interests. In fact there are several kinds of contextual advertising. First of all I’d like to mention search engine advertising. It’s closely connected with search traffic as you might have guessed. To say simply it is that advertising appearing in search engines. I don’t doubt that you know for sure that Google is the most popular search engine all over the world. Even children know this evident fact. You can use this search engine for your sake by placing your contextual ads to pay for the transition. Secondly there is a context-sensitive advertising. This kind of advertising is displayed on the theme sites, depending on the topic of the page. For the last time more and more people select a so called behavioral technology. This means that it’s up to you as a user of the Internet to install various scripts depending on your interests. So in this case you can show only those ads you are really interested in. The third type of this advertising is banner advertising. Banners are displayed depending on the search query or according to the subject of the page.

In fact when working with contextual advertising one should take into account such stages as contents, advertising campaign, planning, creating and configuring and certainly assessment of efficiency. An advertiser can make a great mistake when working with an advertising company in all those stages mentioned above. These steps can be divided into three components. The first one is planning an advertising campaign, the second ones are creation and configuration, the third is assessment of effectiveness. A good advertiser will never miss any of those stages if he wants to save his money and get a good result. All these stages are equally important and all of them are the main key to your success.

As you can see contextual advertising is rather a promising kind of advertising and you can earn big money with it if you learn how to use it in the right way. As for the best contextual advertising I’d like to recommend you Google Adsesnse as the best variant among others. You can read about Google Adsense in other articles if you wish.
