Blogging Inspiration: Get Inspired By Making More Money

Comments (2)By Mary Stage in Blogging, Webmaster on 21st January 2008


More money is what it all boils down to.  If we can start seeing our incomes increase by the hard work we are doing on our blogs, what more inspiration do you need?  Money is the best inspiration to keep adding fresh new content to your blog and to keep practicing your SEO skills.

Many people don’t realize that some businesses are willing to pay quite a bit more for certain keywords that are related to products the company offers, which in turn makes it worth more money to adsense publishers.

The more generalized your blog is, the less your clicks will be worth.  Try blogging about specific items and companies to see what kind of ads start showing up in those posts.  These will be the ones worth the most to you.

Here is a good example of a site that gets almost 100 clicks per day but only makes a measly $4 with about 750 page impressions.  tattooideasandmore.com  Yes it’s mine, I bought this from someone about 7 months ago when it was brand new.  However, I managed to get on the front page of Google for a good keyword phrase by using the SEO Tips that I learned right here at BlueVerse before I started writing here.

It always amazes me to see the high number of  clicks with only the few dollars of profit.  Now if I were to start adding content to this site that relates to certain tattoo parlors or tattoo manufacturers, I’m sure the amount per click would dramatically increase.

Now, here’s another of my sites, heatknowledge.com  I bought this from a DP member and added quite a bit to it.  This site has a higher paying set of keywords I know, but you can see how I’m targeting certain keywords and getting certain ads to appear on my pages.  I still have a long way to go with it as far as SEO, but I’m happy overall with the traffic Google has already sent me and with the value of the clicks.

You can make more money to keep you inspired by mentioning brand names and talking about specific products in your posts.  You will be amazed at how much of a difference there can be for one site.  It could be just a few cents or a few dollars per click, it’s all in how you target your keywords.

Blogging about products gives you another way to keep adding fresh content on your blog.  It’s a win-win situation for you to mention specific products.  It’s hard for me to tell you what words to use without knowing your niche, but I’m sure you will have some idea of what they would be.

Good Luck and Keep Blogging!!

Blackhat Explained

Comments (9)By Ahson Rafiq in News on 20th January 2008

I always get carried away with my niches at hand and forget about the ones that once earned me the most money so im taking one step back and talking about blackhat seo, back in november i posted about my MFA Site.

To make it simple - Blackhat is simply Valid Usable Content Generation

You can go about blackhat in 2 ways, either spam othersites with links or generate content, the less “slimy” way to do this is generating content and alot of it, content generation and its categorization should be prioritized while making sites that would earn you money.

If you spam other sites with keyworded links to rank higher on google that will definitely get you a higher ranking at google but this will be gone in 2-3 weeks as soon as your site is reviewed completely and their algo picks up on those spammy links that you’ve been throwing around or been placing using autobots, and you’ll be back to square 1..

My most tried and tested method is to generate humor content sites based on apis or feeds or databases that have several entries and the output would be relevant and the script would output the relevant keywords and titles for meta tags as well. The mfa site i mentioned above costed me hardly $40 and earned me nearly $4000 within 1 and a half months, blackhat at its best.

From my personal experience i’d say people shouldn’t “sell” seo but practice it on their own and learn as trends change they should progress with it too, different people different ethics.

Badmouthing = Traffic!

A few days ago i mentioned Shoemoney’s Post on 95% of the SEOs being slimy in my misc ramblings. I’ll make my position on this topic crystal clear from the start - I agree that 95% of the SEOs online are indeed slimy.

Every webmaster has his fair share of fans and haters, most people appeal to the fans but if you appeal to the haters you might get something like this..

After Jeremy’s article a tiny dispute erupted on his blog soon it spread across several blogs and lately i’ve been doing alot of sphinning and saw this story on how shoemoney is a “damn” hypocrite and the whole article revolved around his argument of how make money online bloggers are seos themselves and the worst of them all. Badmouthing someone like shoemoney with hardly valid points got him great traffic and a front page spot at sphinn but what most people don’t see is that the person blogging about this is a “make money online blogger” himself and is doing more bad mouthing to others then actually getting anything done and besides from that it was a good link bait technique with a fairly big price to pay.

Badmouthing people could get you some really heavy traffic if you appeal to at least 30% of the traffic but it comes at a price of making several enemies at once, It could be considered as a last resort in my opinion.
