Any one can get random traffic by throwing money around but it takes a few simple steps to make those visitors stay and keep reading your blog, its a few tips you can use to create interactivity and curiosity among your visitors , just enough to keep them coming back for more. These are all the tips and tricks i use to increase my subscriber count daily.
1. Curiosity
This one is way too obvious, readers love series of posts so if you have started a series such as “Making a WP Blog” which will contain around 8 posts then that will attract alot of readers from that certain topic and if you add a little line at the end of each of those posts like “Making a WP Blog 1 of 8 - Subscriber here for the next posts in this series!”, this will obviously lead to your feed and will end in you getting one new subscriber for everyone that visits those articles. To make this series of posts better you need to know that every step of the series has to be well detailed and carefully explained, you’ll need more then just common information to get more out of your series.
2. Presentation
Presentation matters, most of the time it counts for 70% of the marks you get for your essays in college, the more creative you get the more you please the readers, I like to use pictures to spice up my posts, sometimes videos to just as well to explain my points further. A good example here could be SEOmoz’s whiteboard Friday where rand talks about different aspects of SEO on video. Less Reading = Wider Audience.
3. Authority and Networking
Who you know in the industry matters alot, even if you have alot of good tips and tricks it helps to interview big names once in a while to boost up your readership, if your readers know that you have the reputation and ability to interview big names such as Shoemoney then they might wanna listen to you more its more intimidation then pleasing. Intimidation works for alot, it’s not just about who you know its about having a relevant content on your blog from other blogs in the same niche, that gives the blog the perfect SEO boost!
The basics of starting a blog is really crucial because your money is limited (that’s why you’re starting a blog in the first place) and you wanna invest the least money into the blog to make the most back.In reply to problogger’s post i wanna talk about 10 things i would do to start out my blog.
1. Product Creation
Before I do anything, i would make an ebook or a web script that is in current demand, this is what will get me the most traffic, and i might be either selling this for revenue right away or just giving it away for free in return for email rss subscribers, that way i could sell sponsored reviews on the blog, since advertisers like a high subscriber count in order to buy a sponsored post on a blog.
Other then that offering a product or a guide for a niche automatically makes you an authority in the niche because you are not only preaching the niche but you have paid content for it that proves your theories. In order to get the best out of my e-book i would take around 1-2 weeks to research a niche that people want to know better or a new approach to make money online and do the whole mmo blog thing all over again.
2. Content Creation
Okay, usually people take 1-2 days to make up posts (i know i do…for specific posts), this time i would take up multiple topics on the niche my blog would be on and have different aspects of it written on my blog in a certain order, here is the break down
Niche Information - Guides and Definitions
Resources and Tools
Top sites in the niche
Success stories of the niche
Products and Services of the niche
Tips to prosper further more within the niche
These would not just be breif articles, there would etiher be series or 1000-1500 worded articles that would be insanely viral and filled with tons of information that people would love to share, this would get me alot of exposure and social attention.
3. Theme Development
Before i start the blog and use all the tools/content at hand, I would need a good theme, for this part I will do some research on the current top 100 make money online blogs that they have at 45n5 , then i would use all the info from those blogs to figure out a better UI that would get me the most exposure for the content while keeping my theme strictly eyecandy, this theme would use less usual html tricks and more css effects so that later on i could submit it to several css design galleries to get additional traffic.
A good unique theme for the blog would be good but 10 free themes would be even better, if its exposure you want, just release a free wordpress theme, you would get your fair share of exposure and then some. Free themes can get you alog of deep links from toher authority blogs if the theme is good and people are warming up to it, either i can make 10 normal eyecandy themes or maybe 1 theme that can be used for multiple purposes.
4. Blogrollers
Now for the link love i would contact a few mid-large size bloggers in the niche to exchange blogroll links, which would be easier but there are always those really really big bloggers from whom you can’t get a link that easily for these you can just link to them without having them to reciprocate, this sets the tone of your blog and establishes a relation between your blog, the authority blogs and the niche in general. Alot of seo value here.
For those of you Commission Junction affiliates out there in the blogging world, you will want to take notice of the email you received from eBay today. It announces their new global affiliate platform called the eBay Partner Network. It begins April 1st and will no longer be run through Commission Junction. You do have some time to get your links changed because they plan on running both CJ and the eBay Partner Network throughout the month of April to give you some time to make the switch. They are also offering a 5% bonus for those who have made the switch during the month of April and have their sites tracked through the eBay Partner Network. Making the switch early can really make you a nice bonus, especially if you already are a steady earner with their program. Who wouldn’t want to make a 5% bonus for just changing your links?
Don’t worry, they are still going to have all the great tools and benefits you had while partnering with eBay through Commission Junction. The pay structure will remain the same and you will still be able to use the Editor Kit and affiliate API, along with the flexible destination tool.
They have also added some new features that look promising for anyone who is trying to make money blogging by being an affiliate of eBay. They are going to offer more detailed reporting for their program as well which will allow us to know where to focus our efforts even more as bloggers who want to profit with this program. There will also be easy global registration to multiple countries with just one click to register to all that interest you.
They will also provide their affiliates with all new banners that are targeted and have many advanced media features. You’ll also see new landing page optimization and even geo-targeting capabilities to help you earn even more money with their program.

Every blogger knows the value of having an eye-catching design. Sometimes a blogger can’t afford the cost of having someone design a unique WordPress theme for them. We have taken the task of finding the best free WordPress theme websites available on the internet.
WP Themes Free – WordPress Themes provides bloggers with a variety of over 1,000 free WordPress themes to choose from. There are many different categories to choose from and as with anything there is real good ones and real bad ones. The good ones seem to override the bad ones though.
Free Wordpress Themes - Free WordPress Themes has a clear commitment to providing free quality WordPress themes for bloggers. They state that they know that the site isn’t a finished product at any time, instead they want to make it the best resource for WordPress themes. This is truly a great attitude for any website to have.
I love making MFA sites powered by APIs, as a matter of fact theres a script i’ve been working on that made me alot of money before but the problem is there is always a bug popping up every now and then regarding de-indexation and most of its traffic..actually all of its traffic comes from google, so the SERPs are really important to it. To stay indexed I’ve tried alot of things such as..relevant links, different class c IPs, high authority links, big pr site links, mass linking, deep linking, ip cloaking, index title rotator…and so many other things that i can’t even remember, I’ve been on and off on this project for 3 months now.
Sorry, I won’t be posting a link to the newest project of mine because of obvious connection between my blog and the site, i will however post it when i am completely sure of its SERP’s strength.
The main issue with an API based page creation and data entry is that the same data is already available on another site (the site that you are getting the IP from..) and its a big problem because at first you’ll get really good traffic from lower rankings on the keywords but slowly as you grow the rankings will start to go up too, they might even outrank the original site, thats when the real problem starts! This is when either google or the site from which you got the api will start to notice the fact that you are copying their data if they have told you already that you can copy it without any consequences then you’ll be good with the site owners but what about google? No matter what your agreement is with the original site they won’t care, google’s first priority is quality results for its searchers, and having 2 sites with the same content is un-acceptable to them. You’ll obviously be de-indexed because of the age authority, you have just started out and the original site already has the age and relevance to be an authority for that niche.
8 posts then that will attract alot of readers from that certain topic and if you add a little line at the end of each of those posts like “Making a WP Blog 1 of 8 - Subscriber here for the next posts in this series!”, this will obviously lead to your feed and will end in you getting one new subscriber for everyone that visits those articles. To make this series of posts better you need to know that every step of the series has to be well detailed and carefully explained, you’ll need more then just common information to get more out of your series.
