Target the audience

You will need to determine your audience first. If you are writing an article about toys and then a press release of Obama, you will annoy the mothers that are looking for a doll and the serious visitors that are searching for the latest news. This is not a method to attract visitors; it is a method to scare away the potential readers. Choose your niche clearly and stick to it until becomes profitable.

Don’t be cheap with the domain

Lots of people choose a domain such as .wordpress and .blogspot just because they are free. Yes, they are free, but you should expect only you and your family as readers. A .com site costs 10 dollars a year, and the advantages for marketing and for searches on relevant keywords are enormous.

Too much marketing, no content

If you have a webpage where the main article is hardly seen because of those flashy commercials and banners, it is normal not to make money. For a single keyword, a person finds million of results, so he or she would not bother to search your article trough those annoying commercials. The visitor would close your page and would go for the next one from the list of results.

Have patience

A SEO technique might need three or four months to create some visible results. Moreover, the SEO techniques are risky if Google changes the algorithms and the indexing methods. You will be able to evaluate your site objectively only after 6 months, and the real money would not appear in your AdSense account in your first blogging year. If you want to see that money in your account, you will need to have some patience.

1. Please do not expect overnight success which is never possible
2. Do not expect Millions of $$ the next day you start your blog
3. Be serious about blogging if you want to taste the success
4. Do share only fresh and good contents
5. Have the passion in what you are doing

This is an easy way to make money blogging. If your blog is having a descent page rank ( Say, PR-3), you can sell the posts in your blog for considerable amount. You can find the potential buyers in different forums like Digital point forums, warrior forums, etc. If you want to get paid for blogging, the current rate varies from $20- $50 per post, which depends mostly on Pagerank.

Still, there are so many ways to make money blogging. But I have discussed in this post only the top ten ideas of making money blogging. The amount of traffic you get to your blog is a major criterion to make money online. Happy Blogging!!!

If you include subheadings in the post, it will ruin the flow of the article. Blog posts are generally not more than 400 words. If you write more than 500 words, you can break up a post by including subheadings. You should never include a subheading in the middle of a para, and with careful placing, it can help.

Most of the readers think that the subheadings insults them as you are preaching them by providing subheadings. They might think that you need not tell them what they’re about to read. They can easily grasp your points within few seconds of reading your article.

Adding subheading to your post is similar to adding spoiler on the trunk of your Ford Focus. Yes! Already your post are short, if you include subheadings, it will increase the word count and the reader will feel that they might get bored to read a long article with so many subheadings. So they will skip the page immediately.

Just blog as you think a thing in your mind. If you’re writing a long post, you can go for subheading. Otherwise, keep on blogging to make money online. ALL THE BEST!!!

1. Give Freebies To Your Visitors

A new visitor should be awarded in a perfect way by offering anykind of freebies, which is most useful to your visitors. Try to post the thing that you’re giving free away in various websites including www.online-sweepstakes.com

2. Viral Marketing Strategy

Build an ebook on your niche and made it available to your visitors at freeof cost. You can give this e-book either for subscribing your RSS feed or weekly newsletter (For this make use of aweber.com). Your blog’s URL should present throughout the ebook.

3. Commenting On Relevant Blogs

Try to find out the blogs with the related content to your blog’s subject. Do visit these blogs regularly to post RELEVANT comments in the blog along with your website’s address. Even you can offer helpful comments to attract more visitors to your blog.

4. Submission to Directories

Try to submit your blog’s link to different directories. If you have a pets home in New Jersey, search the web for “Pets home New Jersey’. Read the results of the first two pages and contact those website owners and give them the info about your pet home. If they have satisfied, they don’t mind to list it for free, because the more that they have listed, the more people will visit their site, too.

5. Link Exchange

You can exchange rlevant links with related websites. Do ascertain that these sites are direct competition with you. For example, if you have a fish blog, you can exchange links with dog blog. Both of them are in pet category, but concentrating on different areas of pet industry.

6. Get Indexed in Article Directories

This is the most reliable method of getting target group for your blog. You should write articles on your niche and include a link to your blog in the resource box. Publish the articles to sites like Tuition Place and ezinearticles.com

7. Newsletter on You Niche

8. Business Card

Do print your blog address in your business card and always carry the same. Even you can print your picture on the business card to kindle the memory of the card holder- who are you? Drop your business card where ever possible to get more visitors.

9. Make Use of Newspapers

Some of the visitors will read the newspaper first and then visit the Internet. So use this strong media to get more exposure to your site. You can give an ad in the classified section with details about your blog and also things that are available free in the blog.

10. Signature In your email

Most of us are using emails for quick communication than postal cards. But you may not use the signature facility available in all the mail service providers. So don’t forget to include your signature, which should be your blog address. Anyone who has any online correspondence with you should have no trouble finding your website.

Try to promote your blog at least fifteen minutes daily. You should not forget to update your blog daily at least for an year. If you can get more links to your blog, then you can get more business. So your primary aim to popularize your blog should be- PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE… You can easily make money online, once you get a handful of visitors to your blog. HAPPY BLOGGING!!!

1.  Non-usage of keywords in the content
2.  Images as headlines
3.  Using flash without HTML
4.  Improper usage of URLS
5.  Using Javascript menus
6.  Irrelevant keyword linking
7.  Forgetting to upload HTML attribute rel=”nofollow”
8.  Not minimizing duplicate content
9.  Wastage of time on the meta tags
10. Not updating and maintaining the blog regularly

In addition to this, some of the bloggers have started heated arguments in their comments section. Instead of taking the negative comments of some readers as so sensitive, you can take those comments as positively and respond with a thank you note or a subtle redeeming remark.

If you talk too much about your marketing Spiels, the readers would be too bored to read the content. Try to make your blog more informative in such a way that your readers can get news and ideas which they can make money online. Happy Blogging!!!

There are only five essential elements for blog optimization. I think you know very well about the importance of blog optimization, which is essential to MAKE MONEY ONLINE.

The Top five elements for blog optimization includes-
1. About Page
2. Contact Page
3. Great and unique content
4. Featured Content
5. RSS subscription page

1. About Page

Most of your readers are very keen to know about you. Hence it is a duty for you to provide the same. Presence of “About” page in a blog clearly increase the loyalty and trust they have for you. Please do Peep into “How to write your “About Me” page from Problogger.

2. Contact Page

This is the gateway of your blog. If a person wants to contact you, your contact info helps him. I have build a lot of links through my contact page. If you don’t have a contact page, then you can make use of Cforms plugin. It will create a perfect looking contact forms, which you can use in your contact page.

3. Great and Unique Content

Your content speaks a lot about your blog. Your blog should not only provide great content but also unique one. You should test your content through copyscape. It should pass with flying colors. High quality content will always attract more visitors to your blog.

4. Featured Content

You should have a featured posts category in your blog. It may be either as most commented posts or most popular posts. The time of the post is not all a matter but the content matters a lot. Featured content gives a new visitor to stay a longer period in your blog.

5. RSS Subscription Page

If there is a blog, there should be RSS subscription page. If you don’t have one, it is not a blog. RSS or email subscriptions will help you to send your content right to their feed readers or their email inbox.

Now, it is an important thing- where to place the subscription links? Most of the bloggers prefer the top of their side bar.

One step further, you can optimize them within each and every post, next to the end of the post. This can be done by using the Subscribe Remind WordPress plugin. Once you uploaded this plugin, your RSS/e-mail subscription will be right below each and every post of your blog.

If your blog is having all these five elements, you’ll get massive traffic within few days and help you to make money online like other bloggers like John chow and Problogger. HAPPY BLOGGING!!!

The simple fact of the matter is, that the more places you leave your link behind either as an inbound link or in your signature box, the more people are going to be able to find your blog. Social networking comes into play here because people start to notice you while you are commenting on their blogs and in essence becoming friends. Therefore, after you show some appreciation for your material, they feel inclined to do the same and check out your blog as well. Soon after you both are sharing comments you can ask to get an official link recommendation from them, and viola, you have now given yourself a way to tap viewers and readers from another source.

Obviously, while you are utilizing social networking you are going to want to aim at making friends and networking with people who have substantial readers and or input in the community that surrounds your blog subject matter. Chasing a small audience is not going to be near as helpful as chasing the audience of a fellow blogger who has many readers. Along the same lines however, you do not want to start too large either because you want to still be noticed by the blog’s creator.

As your blog grows, so will your chances to acquire larger networking opportunities, but you always have to stay on top of your game if you do not want any to pass you by. One of the largest current trends of bloggers right now is to start using the Digg system. If you can get an appropriate amount of people to ‘Digg’ your blog, it’s possible that you could make the front page of this social networking site, where you can introduce your blog to thousands of new readers. So right there is one example of how social networking can pay off in a large way if you work hard enough towards it.

Without social networking, chances are that many blogs would stay the size of livejournal entry, which is not ever going to make any real money. The point of bloggers is not only to inform a large circle of people outside of their friends about a subject matter, but also usually to make money. So you need to focus on a desirable blog topic if you want to watch your blog grow in size and status. Who knows, maybe if you are lucky you can be the next Perez Hilton!

Blog Traffic Ways

I think you know very well different ways to obtain useful traffic to your blog/site. This includes Press Release Submission, RSS submission, article submission, directory submission, link exchange etc. Now I do want to expose what are the best ways to get quick and a lot of traffic to a blog or websites. By following the methods, you can easily get more visitors to your site.

Blogging and Social Bookmarking

The top most way to earn useful traffic to your blog is submitting a new blogpost to at least 50 popular social bookmarking sites. (DIGG, DIGGO, PROPELLER, DELICIOUS, ETC). I am using ping.fm for this service. Here you can create an account and subscribe to different social bookmarking networks like twitter, plurk, diggo, etc. In one click you can submit your new post to at least 15 SB sites.

Craigslist Posting

Although this is black hat technique, using a poster software and remote computer, you can generate a lot of posts daily. If possible get a free lancer to do manual posting in a day in craiglist to get easy exposure of your blog.

Blog Flipping

Flipping websites is an ethical way of making some income and I really enjoy doing it. Nowadays so many blogmasters are seeking for joint ventures in this method of blog/site flipping. You can make great money by flipping sites/blogs.

Forum Posts

Making posts in your blog/site related forums can bring you almost instant traffic. My second best traffic for this blog is from Digitalpoint forums (My Profile name is kittyluver). Even this forum shows my recent post near my name to get ready-made traffic to my blog. If you have been identified as a spammer, you’ll be banned instantaneously. Regularly do visit this forum and work hard to become a member of the community.

Blog Comments

You can get more traffic when you comment in other’s blog atleast ten per day. Over commenting in different blogs will lead to spam the search engines. I have known a blogger who commented 100 comments daily continually for 10 days. Google placed his blog in sand box. Still he couldn’t bring it out. This should not happened to you. some of the blogs are allowing to place you in the “Top Commentators” list as well as show up your last blog post by means of comment luv plug-in. Search out such blogs and post slowly and steadily because slow and steady not only win the race but also make money online.

Happy Blogging!!!

Advertising is the next best method of attracting traffic from a targeted group. Advertising varies from video ads, text link ads, banner ads, peel away ads, etc. Although it has been proved advertising is the best way to make money online, you should be smart enough to pick up a perfect space for your blog. Tips to get more traffic through advertising is dealt below for your kind perusal.

Search For Testimonials

If you able to find the other advertisers testimonial, you may get convinced how the ad space is working for you. These testimonials explore the possibilities of how did the website help them to promote themselves.

Placement

It is always wise to buy an ad in a perfect placement. Always try to buy an ad on top of the page so visitors will first notice it and you’ll get more exposure. Bottom placed ads is useless even you get the space for free of cost.

Visitors

Visitors are the important source of a blog or site. You can click the My stats page of the blog/site to get an idea about the source of the visitors. If it is from a PTC site like adbux or taketheglobe.com, it is useless. This particular webmaster is trying to boost up his Alexa ranking.

Statistics

Again the same point that discussed above. You ought to see how many unique visitors are peeping into the site. Ask for the cpanel screenshot before buying an ad spot. If you have less than 30 UV per day it is similar to placing a billboard in Mount Everest, which is the highest peak in Himalayas.

Relevancy

It is always better to buy an ad in a related site. Buying an ad in an auto insurance quote blog for a pet site is really waste of time and money. OMG! The visitors in the insurance website is not that interested with pets so your advertising is worthless.

Price

This is last but not least point. Consider the price that fixes within your budget. currently the normal price prevailing for a PR-3 blog is $4 per month. If it gets more UV, say 1000 per day, you can pay at least $20 per month for a banner ad.

If you follow these simple tips in buying banner ad space for your blog, you can easily make money online by getting more visitors to your blog. ALL THE BEST!!!
