Blog building can be and is a tedious process beginning with establishing a content development strategy that will appeal to your blog reader. From there your visitors will hopefully post comments allowing you to gather any suggestions they may have in order for you to make improvements.<br />
You may say 'wait a minute, who whose blog is it anyway?' Well actually you are writing for the blog reader so I guess it is really theirs and this is something you need to be mindful of. From the blog theme to the layout and the graphics you need to always look to your readers for their approval or lack thereof. Your ability to respond to these 'suggestions' will ultimately be the deciding factor in the level of success you achieve with your site. But it all starts with your blog entries and not only what they are about but also how they are presented.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Let's look at 5 things you can do to make your blog entries more appealing to your subscribers and keep them returning while attracting new ones.<br />
<b>Good Content</b><br />
The content you present should always in some way useful to your readers and ALWAYS consistent with the blog theme itself. Now 'useful' can be interpreted also as humorous, insightful or even shocking as long as it holds the readers attention and interest.<br />
<b>Write Less Say More</b><br />
When you write a post just keep in mind you want to get your point across quickly and clearly. Your intention is to always encourage the blog reader to return to your site but long and rambling posts will only frustrate and annoy them.<br />
<b>Let Your 'Hair' Down</b><br />
You are amongst friends or at least within a friendly alliance of people who visit your site looking for both informative content but in a casual setting so give it to them. By maintaining a 'formal' tone this tends to make the atmosphere less relaxed thereby making it a little less attractive to the reader.<br />
You want visitors to experience a friendly and comfortable environment much like being in their own home and wearing a comfortable pair of slippers.<br />
<b>Speak Your Mind</b><br />
Do so but within reason of course! Your candid opinion is normally welcomed and is part of what makes this blog 'uniquely you' and do not lose sight of that. Candid comments generally promote feedback from participants which is good since interactivity on a blog helps make it more interesting and popular with the readers.<br />
<b>When Spoken to Respond</b><br />
When your readers post comments always make the effort to respond if the comment warrants a response. They may criticize one of your blog entries or perhaps compliment you on it but either way this feedback is giving you direction: take it!<br />
It is also very important to make your readers feel a part of the group and by acknowledging them you are doing so.<br />
Your blog posting is the very foundation upon which your site is built and is also dependent upon to grow. As we have already discussed blog building is a rather slow process. This process is built primarily around the content development strategy you have established and how it evolves according to your readers wishes. The way in which you 'present' your content is a key element in how receptive your subscribers will be to it. By following the 5 suggestions we mapped out above in presenting your content to your readers you should be able to keep them satisfied and keep your site growing.<br />

However, there are pros and cons to this method. Blogger hosting is an easy way to get started with blogging, but there are limited expansion possibilities. The fact of the matter is that a blogger host gives you the chance to explore different niches and keywords before you invest in purchasing a domain name and hosting. Google Blogger works the same way as well for personal diaries. You will be able to keep your journal up for as many years as you want because of the fact that you do not have to worry about paying for hosting.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The biggest attraction to using the blogger host are that it is completely free and that you can have multiple blogs with its easy to use platform. It depends on which template you want to use, but you will be able to easily add pictures to your header along with changing up colors without coding experience. The only problem is that there are a limited quantity of templates. You will be able to use a template from a third party site as long as you display the nav bar in accordance with Google's terms of service.<br />
However, there are several disadvantages to having a blogger blog. You will still own the content on your blog but you will work on a subdomain like your domain.blogspot.com. If you ever got your blog to be really popular and you wanted to start yourdomain.com then you could transfer your posts, but you would not be able to transfer your rankings or traffic. Some of your readers might follow you over, but some will not. If you are going with a blog for personal purposes then a Blogger blog might be great for you. People that are thinking about blog monetization should probably just bite the bullet and go ahead with a domain name purchase to increase the probability of making money.<br />
Blogger has rules like most free web hosts and they can suspend your account without notice. The software also has many limitations. You can make a private blog, but you will only be able to mark certain posts as private. A blog that is entirely private means that only people that you invite will be able to access your blog. The biggest problem associated with the Blogger platform is the report abuse button. The task bar is required to be displayed at the top of all of the Blogger posts that it hosts. You can use Blogger software on your own host if you wish.<br />
Web hosting for free has a price just as it does with anything else. Blogger blogs can do just as well as other types of blogs on search engines really. There are tons of spam blogs on blogger so it may seem unprofessional in some cases.<br />

For many bloggers, blogging is a terrible chore that they commit to for the sake of a few dollars in return. But it does not have to be that way. Ebay has an unlocked market that could earn anyone a very healthy living.<br />
Here is how it is done.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
All you will need is an eBay account and a blog. Blogs can be made for free or you could decide to invest a little money into a domain. Firstly you will need to decide what interests you and what you think may interest others, you then have a niche that you are targeting. Make sure you keep on target. Create an eBook on the niche you like, for example 'How to become a millionaire' and put it up for sale on eBay. Then you need to use your blog to promote any product you are selling on eBay, at the end of your product review you should leave the link to your eBay item, in turn this will generate you leads through your blog to your eBay items. Make sure you research hot topics and products before either creating one or reselling one.<br />
Use a PDF creator to lock all of your content from being stolen. Once the purchase is made from eBay, make sure you ask the user to fill out a simple form with their name and email address to be able to access the download, this will mean at a future date you can contact the eBay member with other offers without having to use any sort of promotional tools.<br />

While others are busy creating money for themselves, there are silent workers who are starting to become very effective and powerful online writers. There are many people who tried but most have failed and those that were left are really the good ones. So, if you are thinking of how to become a successful blogger, let us give you some tips in making this reality come true.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Tip Number 1- Get the Passion Involved</b><br />
Do not let your financial goals get in the way. If you want to know how to become a successful blogger, your heart will play a bigger role than your mind. True writers would understand what we are talking about here. Your focus on your writing must not be disturbed by the urges for you to either earn from what you are doing or become the most famous writer of all time. These goals are very self-centered and are very egotistic. If your primary goal in getting into blogging is for you to become famous, then you may be going down the wrong path. The real successful bloggers followed their hearts and not their minds. If you are thinking of how to be a successful blogger, then segregate it from the thought that the most successful is the most famous. Write what you know and write what you want to write about. Get the heart to do the writing and you will eventually get the affection of people. The fame and cash will soon follow. Do not let these things get into you initially.<br />
<b>Tip Number 2 - Initiate and Participate in Conversations</b><br />
Successful bloggers are not snobs. They actually know how to interact. Do not be restricted on the thought that your job is done after you have posted your initial post. If you are really considering on how to be a successful blogger, you must know how to interact with people and get into their conversations. After your initial posts, you will soon see that posts will follow and the thread will go on. Let people see the communicator in you and they will soon feel that you value their opinions. Next thing you know, these people will tell other people about your site and will invite more people to check your site out! This is what you need - word of mouth endorsements.<br />
<b>Tip Number 3 - Build Trust and Never let it Go Away</b><br />
Reputation is what you are trying to build here. The reputation you are building will pretty much lay the line for the success that you will be entitled for. This is a make or break field. If you break it once, you will have a hard time getting yourself back again. If you see yourself very determined on how to be a successful blogger, you must see yourself as a very respectful person. Do not write about anything that will sacrifice your integrity. Write about things that would bring a great sense to your visitors. Though gossips may be highly profitable, this may be the same reason for your downfall so it may be good to consider not going down this line.<br />
<b>Tip Number 4 - Build Effective Networks with Co-Bloggers</b><br />
No man is an island and no blogger can live all by himself. As much as you would want people to link with you, you must exert effort on building lasting relationships with other colleagues as well. If you are seriously considering how to become a successful blogger, you must make sure that your network is well established as these are the same people who will make you become successful. Do not treat them as competition because they are not. All bloggers are writers and true writers do not compete with each other, but rather build relationships that last a lifetime.<br />
There are thousands of ways on how to become a successful blogger. Probably the most important thing to consider on becoming one is to preserve your personal identity, thus keeping your personal style and your integrity. These are some of the very few things no one can take away from you.<br />

In this series we have been covering the basics of what RSS is but in today's article I'm going to discuss what I think is the biggest advantage of RSS Submission and Syndication. The blogger by nature is a very small fish in the enormous pond that is the internet. A single blogger would normally have next to no hope for any kind of reward, whether that's personal satisfaction or financially based, if it wasn't for the RSS system. In reality, the blogger is the exact example of how specific and individualistic the internet can be. When teamed with RSS submission, the blogger can take that individualism and give it an audience.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Blogger's, people that spend a lot of time write internet web log's about their lives or topics of interest is where so much heat, fire, and passion over the internet started in the mid-90's. These blogger's are what initially drove the internet as a marketplace for commerce, now known as e-commerce. With how much writing the typically blogger does, you might think that they blog for a living, and the truth is - some do. Of course, you can find lots of so-so blogs out there, but the gifted blogger has an amazing potential to produce income.<br />
<br />
The primary factor in this is the RSS Submission and syndication. RSS Feeds are how one blogger can write a single thought one a web page and have it blasted on many other web sites and message boards across the internet. It gives one blogger the power to have their voice, opinions, or even sales pitches heard across the vast expanse that is the internet. It is for that reason that the blogger not only should, but must include RSS Submission and Syndication in their operating plan for success.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785959474393520780.post-79345083697072312022009-11-21T05:17:00.000-08:002009-12-06T02:06:26.543-08:00How To Make More Money From Your Website<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CSr41Ci91kY/SwfppXgv1yI/AAAAAAAAAAw/kCg48O4ViUs/s1600/blogger_logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CSr41Ci91kY/SwfppXgv1yI/AAAAAAAAAAw/kCg48O4ViUs/s320/blogger_logo.png" /></a></p></div>Do you think your ad placement is good and aggressive? The more aggressive is your ad placement the more money you will make from your website. This article is only for ad placement and testing. I am not bothered about your present traffic and SEO and where exactly traffic is coming from.<br />
You can make money from<br />
<a name='more'></a><ul><li>CPC (Cost per click): This includes adsense, yahoo, msn, chitika, adbrite etc</li>
<li>CPM (Cost per thousand impressions): Tribal fusion, Burst media, komli etc.</li>
<li>CPA (Cost per Action): Many CPM companies also give CPA type advertisements.</li>
</ul><b>CPC Based Advertisements</b><br />
First you need to test how effective is your ad placement in your theme. Normally blogger and webmaster put their ads <br />
<ul><li>Under post title.</li>
<li>After post title.</li>
<li>Right side bar large rectangle and few links.</li>
</ul>Unusual places to monetize<br />
<ul><li>Top banner in logo.</li>
<li>Bottom of page.</li>
<li>In the Footer.</li>
<li>Right side bar.</li>
<li>Inside post content.</li>
</ul><b>In Text Advertisements</b><br />
So, If you already used three Adsense ad unit. Then you can use another type of advertisement like in-text links like kontera, infolinks, echotopic, adbrite, linkworth etc. You should always consider this as additional source of income.<br />
<ul><li>If, there is drastic reduction in your present Adsense revenue. Then you can remove this type of advertisement for few days and test again. We don’t want less earnings in our primary source of income. Which is Adsense and other CPC based income.</li>
<li>Keep an eye on your bounce rate. Bounce rate should not shoot all of the sudden.</li>
</ul><b>CPM Based Advertisements</b><br />
Once you crossed many thousand page view per day. You should think about CPM (cost per mill) based advertisements. This will be surely additional income in your website. You can put banners in right side bar, in footer, below footer, pop ups – pop up window – only for search engine visitors etc. Cpm based advertisements is good for blog which has regular readers. CPM can be very effective once you reach many thousand page views per day. You are getting paid for every page view.<br />
<b>CPA Based Advertisements </b><br />
This types of advertisements is little tough to monetize. But you can make more money as compared to CPM and CPC based advertisements. This advertisement need a lot of promotion and then someone will take any action like registration or buying some product.<br />
<b>Important points you should know</b><br />
<ol><li>Colors can affect your earning in CPC based advertisements.</li>
<li>You should test fonts in adsense according to your blog.</li>
<li>Block MFA site advertisements in Google Adsense.</li>
<li>Use channels to check individual performance of your ad units.</li>
<li>Integrate analytic with adsense and should add goals.</li>
<li>Know which pages is ranking higher. And Should do SEO accordingly.</li>
<li>Select CPM based advertisements carefully. Which will promise you to give decent cpm of $0.5.</li>
<li>CPM advertisements should be use only when your blog get daily 1,000 page views.</li>
<li>Lesser ads may result higher ecpm in adsense. But lesser CTR.</li>
<li>If you are not making significant money from CPA. Remove them because no use of putting useless banner. This will distract readers from reading content.</li>
