Profit Pulling Niche Blogs For Income, Traffic And Branding
By:Dan Farrell
The best thing about blogging is that there are no rules. You can write about anything you want. A self-publisher's dream! There are some things you can do though to maximize your Google Adsense profits. Narrow your subject. Don't just write about shopping. Write about shopping for antique dresser drawer pulls. Write every day. Have a blog at more than one site. If you develop a readership, you're more likely to increase your profits.
Write about something you know or want to know or at the very least care about. If you try to write a great blog based on a "hot keyword" yet it's something you could care less about, you'll likely not stay with it long. Experiment and see what works for you. You can write based on your own opinion or something factual. You can review a product or service or a movie. Read other people's blogs and notice how many reads they're getting. Above all, have fun. After all, it's free and if you're persistent you'll see your Google Adsense dollars adding up.
Instant Traffic To Your Blog
In the past, before the advent of blogs, niche sites were built page by page. Once you build the pages, you'll have to start driving traffic to your site. It is a two step, time consuming process. (or perhaps more?) With Blogs, you can have instant traffic to your blog through the power of syndication or Rss.
By submitting your Rss feed to Rss directories, your feed (blog content) can instantly be indexed by major Rss directories like Yahoo, Technorati, Blogdigger etc. You'll get exposure to tens of thousands of subscribers looking for feeds to subscribe each day.
Automatic push-button publishing
Blogs are the easiest and cheapest way to have an online presence. With Wordpress, everything is just point and click. Wordpress provide a simple editorial interface. All you need to do is write your content, and publish it just by clicking the 'publish button' in most cases, and you're done.
Fosters relationship building, trust and stickiness
Unlike websites, which are static, Blogs allows interaction between you and your readers. Blogs has a commenting function, and if turned on, allows readers and visitors to post their comments, thoughts or opinions to a particular article that you have written. Constant interaction with your readers builds a feeling of community and 'stickiness' factor
In other words, it brings repeat visitors to your blog. Once the relationship is there, you can then recommend products more easily to them. Your readers and subscribers will be more ready and willing to accept your product or services.
Increase search engine ranking
Almost every major search engine has a software program called 'bot' that searches or 'spiders' websites online to find new content so that it can bring back and update the search database. Basically what this means is that the more frequently you update your site, the more frequently the search engine 'bot' will visit your site, and this helps to boost your search engine rankings.
If you make postings and publish regularly to your Blog, you can be sure that search engines will visit your Blog again and again. You can then place links of your other websites in your Blog and these will get indexed quickly by the search engines.
Of course you could also update your existing web site with new contents, but you would have to go through a more technical process, that of using an HTML editor or FrontPage and uploading through FTP and so on.
Free listing in Google, Yahoo and MSN
The traditional way of getting your website listed in these three major search
engines: Google, Yahoo and MSN is slow and inefficient. A listing in Yahoo directory alone would cost you $299. However, with the inclusion of RSS feeds by these search engines, you can now gain a 'backdoor' listing which is legal and free.
If you have an RSS feed, you can have it included in Yahoo and MSN and your website will be immediately listed in these major search engine within 24 hours! Even Google has joined in the bandwagon of RSS feeds. Furthermore, you can also easily generate a 'Google Sitemap' with your niche blog and submit it to Google sitemaps directory. This gives you another powerful advantage and ensures your site gets crawled by Google each time you update your niche blogs.
Put Adsense Ads in your blog to generate passive income.
How do you do that? Good question.
With blogger.com which is Google's own blog software, after creating an account, and posting a few blogs, click on the template button and near the bottom you will see the code that reads div id="sidebar"
Each template is slightly different but with a little experimenting you will find the best place for your Adsense Ads.

- 9). Are you Blogging Effectively? By : Joseph Pratt
Perhaps “blogging” isn’t such a graceful word. For me, personally, it sounds like a worded drudgery the way cereals can be soggy, skies can be foggy, and the way minds can be groggy. But for now, it’s too late to rename this shortened word for web-logging. Widespread blogging is nevertheless one of the most engaging Internet developments of the past few years.

- 10). Blogging: What You Need To Know About Defamation By : Robert Palmer
Currently there are over 30 million blogs on the internet and thousands more being created each week. Assuming ownership of one blog per person, that’s a minimum of 30 million people slinging around their personal opinions on all that exists under the sun. This is a good thing. The free exchange of thoughts and ideas is what prevents the world from becoming a stagnant pool of dictatorship with the appropriate green scum floating on top.
