Blogging Inspiration: Get Inspired By Making More Money

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!!

Google Announces a Follow-Up on Changes To Referrals

I guess if people make a big enough stink, Google will listen. It is apparent with Google’s recent announcement that they are listening to disgruntled webmasters who don’t like the changes that were recently made to the Adsense referral program. They have listened to the feedback received and decided to make an amendment to the original pay structure to be dependent on where your referral comes from and not where you are located at. I’m sure it had something to do with Gnet’s post about Adsense Referral Units, when Gnet talks Google listens.

This means that you can still live in any country and make decent money referring those who live in North America, Latin America and Japan.

This gives webmaster a reason to keep targeting quality traffic and to be able to get quality users to refer to Google.

It makes sense for Google to structure it this way instead of cutting you out of the money altogether if you live outside those certain areas, after all it’s the new referrals that mean the most to Google no matter where you are referring them from.

It’s nice to know that Google is listening to it’s publishers and referrers to the program.

They also mentioned that it has been reported many users don’t have any Adsense referrals showing in their stats. Google reports this is just a display problem and that it will be fixed as soon as they can get it done but your earnings are still there adding up, they just aren’t displaying.

You can read about it for yourself at the Google Adsense Blog to find out in more detail what changes have been made to the recent announcement made by Google.
