You can't use Link Referral on a Blog that Uses AdSense

The heading is true  you can't use Adsense and Link Referral together According to the Adsense TOS.But that does not mean that you can't use it for Linking your blog ,What you can do is place an Affiliate program in link referral and then look for blogs like yours in link referral.


If you wish to use link Refferal on an site with Adsense think for a Minute before you do.Link refferal will only get you about 30 or 40 Non Target Visitors a Day and the Chances of Them Clicking are Slim as the are only Visiting your Site to get Visitors to theirs and Most of them have Banner blindness anyway

Even if they Do click you will never see the Money because you will be banned before you reach the $100 payout. If you wish to Use Link Refferal try Bidvertiser as they are Less Strict and provide Add Catorgries to Get more Relevant Ads

Why Using Zemanta and Mybloglog can Get Target Traffic

If you don't use Zemanta Start using it.This is because the Feeds section in Mybloglog by default has Reblog, Also the Labels are another thing to think about.
You will see at the bottom of the post a Small badge saying Reblog. This means that you can Take a part of this post and Write about it on your blog, also a Good solution for Blogger's block.


Now the second reason is the Tag's or labels in Zemanta, the labels will Also be posted in Mybloglog and this is What you should do with the Tags. Click on your Tags in you Bloglog Feed and then you will be Asked to Add to your topics.


When you do this you are telling the Community that you are Talking about for example blogging. Now when other Bloggers check this Topic they will come to see what you are Saying about blogging on your Blog.


There are however people that go Around Adding tags to people with their name, this is totally pointless because who is Searching for your Domain. Maybe you and your Granny that's about it unless you are Chris Brogan or Seth Godin.


This method also helps you find other blogs in your niche and can Lead to link building possibilities and other Interesting Blogs that you Can Read. so stop wasting your time  adding Contacts and go out and Start building Networks

Can Couple blogs Work?

Image via Wikipedia

Having time to Work on Post's and Make Comments,On other Blogs can be sometimes a little hard at Times.But having Time to Design your Blog well this the Most Demanding Part of Blogging.

This is the Problem Learning To Blog,Because you are trying to Create New Content and Learn about Graphical Creativity.Big time Bloggers work in an office with much Better Technolgy and Faster Internet Connections than you or I,But Most Successful Blogs ,Are not Written By One person like Our blogs.

Maybe if you know Some one that has a Common Interest you Could make a More Successful Blog in a Team,Because blogging is A Business and Companies need Partners. If your Wife Sit's there Looking at Soap Opera's and Complains that you,Blog Too much Tell Her,It's Because you Give me No Help with it.Like she Could Write Posts on What is Happening in the Soap's Instead of just,Looking at One Program after Another.Then you Get the Money and Leave her for Something Prettier so you can both Be Happy. Well that's what I Would Do If I was Married,Because I am a Man.


But ladies before you Get upset,I am not Saying that you Should Record your Husbands Conversations with  His freinds about Cars and Then Blog about Automobiles. Actually you Could, Put the Tape Recorder on the Table and tell Him,And if if he says No Way!. Just say that you have been Doing it for the Last Five Years Anyway.He won't Be Surprised.


Well there are Better Ways than the Mentioned One's. But it would be a Good Idea to Try and Get the People in your Life around you to Start looking at your Blog and Even Geting Involved in it,Just as Long as you Make it Clear that It's your Blog.


Bringing me to This Final Question,How would a Blog Work in a Divorce ?.I mean the all the Link's would they have  to be Split 50/50.

The Importance of Responding to Comments

Image by Brett L. via Flickr

How many times do you see Comments on blogs alone and unanswered on Blog posts. This makes it look like the Blogger is unattentive to His/Her Readers. When someone comments on your post don't see it as a Comment and think you have done well. Make a conversation from it because it's an extension of the post.


It has happened that I have often seen search results that were not a result of the post rather a comment on it. Now what would someone that was new to your site think if they see comments and no response from the blogger. They will think first you are Rude and you don't care about your Readers. Also they will not subscribe to your feed if they think you are like this.

If you make conversation this makes the content larger and will allow a better chance of getting search hits because content is King as they say. Now think about it If you have started the conversation and Don't join in you will have less chance of getting new comments on your following posts. And even worse Subscribers can fall as a Result of non Participation.

So think of your next comments as a kind of chat and respond to them this also works when you comment on other blogs. Try not to believe the Hype that you should only comment on Blogs in your Niche  comment anywhere you have something Interesting to say. I for example Do not write about the Enviorment but I do comment on blogs about Green Ideas , Even on Blogs about Writing



Other blogs I comment on are blogs about Indonesia because the person who writes it puts many comments on this blog  and if you look at his blog it will show you how well he interacts with his Readers and how it should be Done. So it can only do good no matter what kind of blog you have to comment on other blogs some of my best comments on this blog have came from someone that has a blog about a totaly different topic to mine. Bt that does not matter as he is interested in myblog and wishes to comment and I enjoy the conversation he makes and sometimes comment on his blog where I can.

So I would like to thank the people that take time to comment here and maybe you should also as Commenting is as Important as the Post itself sometimes

Entrecard should you Use it

Image by Blogger Dude via Flickr

I have seen many Bloggers talk about how Great entrecard is or not. Now many believe that you can get lots more traffic from this I am not so sure because I have read about high bounce Rates and they can be a problem with Entrecard . I drop where I see one but As for it being a main source of traffic. Personally I don't think it should be used as a main Traffic source. It is mostly targeted at only the Drop and not actually Reading the posts. Another thing is when you go from site to  site making drops you will land on  sites that make your Browser Crash or Far worse.


Going  about trying to get credits having to  visit all these sites just say about 100 a day for 100 visitors there is one question that comes to mind. What way will your mind be after going to 100 sites and looking for these drops this many times. And will you able to think straight enough to write something after doing that I don't think so. These are a good Short term solution but far from the Answer to getting Readers and traffic as most Visitors will only be there for the Drop.

So I think when you see one Drop it but Don't go looking for them, Because your blog will not Develop with this tactic, As you will be too busy going everywhere except to your Post composer  and it's important to have fresh content every few Days. But if you are going blogwalking all the Time you will not be feeding your brain with Ideas for new posts.

Not that Interested in News

Image via CrunchBase

Where is the News

This seems to be said by many people I hear it very often if I am at home and watching T.V or even in the Bar Everyone wants to hear the News. But I don't there are things that Interest me but News is not One of them Because I can't Write about it here. Also I find new being Depressing and sometimes noting only Propaganda.

Anytime I go out to Relax I do not want to hear the news this is because it will tell me that the world in in a recession and I am trying to make money online so it's negitive so I choose not to read or watch it. And if I want to enjoy myself the messages from these stories are making me feel somewhat guilty for going out for a cup of coffee. Yes they should have warnings outside places that they put on the news infact they should ban T.V from Bars.

Even Blogs write the News but I don't see the point unless you are a jornalist like if I was to make this a News Blog how would I compeate I am only going to challange sites like Google News, Yahoo News and Cnn plus many more.So my question is why blog news anyway people think they will get traffic from news stories but they won't maybe you will get a few hits from Readers but the chances of you comming up in a google search as a news source are allmost none.

Think about your Blog content and who you are compeating against because putting stories that millions of others are writing about is not going to increase your traffic.

When the coffee Won't Wake you Up

Trying to think of what to write in this post today is kind of hard because it's one of those days you Drink 12 cups of Coffee and you are still tired. I need a little break as I was thinking about the blog away from the computer I brought my Dog for a walk trying to get some Idea for a post into my head but noting seemed to work.

Instead of trying to find an Idea for this post I looked through my Google Reader to see would one of the Blogs I follow be of any help but there was noting much in there Untill I found a blog that I read some time on solar ideas for home and  business now I am not going to start talking about this but the Blog is a Good Idea of what you can make your Blog and If you a Passionate about it then write about it.

There were many tech and gadget blogs in my reader but they are Gone now because although they are writen very well they are not much help to me as I wish to read thing that inspire me to write and Article Marketing is the least Awe Inspiring thing to Read when you have Writers Block. This is because they are just promoting objects I am not I am trying to form an opinion on a Topic not sell you a kindle.

So if you are wondering how to write better posts you could start finding things to read that you are interested in because if you are Reading Promotional style blogs that are more than likley all content came from Article Directories written by people promoting some kind of E-Book  on How to live your life. Think about the things you have in your Reader as Some of them can sometimes help you to think of Ideas for Posts

Testing Zemanta

Image via CrunchBase

This is my first post using Zemanta in Gmail I have Read about Zemanta and it can Improve Traffic by Linking your site to others.Now I was just worried a little that it may Produce Duplicate content It sometime looks like a Good Blogging tool and Maybe it is a tool of the Trade.Basically Zemanta is a Plugin that works with Blogger and Some other Blogging Platforms so far I am using it's labels because I removed my old Blogspot labels because when I use my own Labels then I am thinking like a Person Not like a Computer.

It certainly improves the look of my blog so far as for Increasing Traffic I will have to wait another while so I guess this is a test post on how effective Zemanta can Be on your Blog. As Far as I can see It is Recommending Related sites as I type which is kind of helpful. It Provides me with Pictures as I do not have very many interesting Photos and I do not want to take a Screen shot every time and Edit it to find although the Picture looks great it will never be Found because I used the Wrong ALT tag, So far i see it letting me Blog faster and More Efficiently And maybe i will be using this Blogging Software a Little more as It also helps with Reasearch even though it's not a Search Engine.

Now the thing is I know I am not going to Ever get much Traffic to this Blog as It's a Learning Blog and Maybe If I use this Tool A Little more It could help me with finding Related articles and Blogs. I think It will take me another 3 Blogs at least before I start to Get some kind of Decent Traffic so I am now not so worried about using such software because It will help me also think like a little like a search engine. I am not sure what the Probloggers think of using this But I can see it has Advantages that could help a Person learning to blog. I say use it don't Abuse it

It takes Time But Some Don't Understand

Part 14 - Top Secret Link Building Strategy

I have Now Started Posting From my Gmail Account and I love it. Many People Complain about Ads in Gmail But I like them because I can use them to help increase Blog Earnings. This is Because like on your Blog they are Contextual so what I am Doing is Composing a mail then Sending It to myself and When I read it I will See what Kind of Ads are Going to Run on my Blog with this Mixture of Text. Because as some of us know there are Certain Thing we don't Want Advertised on our blogs and even though we filter them there are many of these which most of the time can only be filtered out by turning off Image ads.

The Other Benefits Seem to be that it is much easier to read and the spell check because many bloggers have to deal with comments on spelling and sometimes when you maybe made a Typo and get Many Emails about their mistake I also find that in the blogger posting panel that often my cursor will jump back a few lines and my whole post will be ruined as I am trying to rewrite it. I am not really a touch Typist but as i write more posts my typing speed Improves also my writing but this is a slow Improvement as you may know by Reading this Post. But writing good Blog Posts will take time and with every post it you are learning.

Just like Yesterday I got One of my Hub pages Flagged now this was Upsetting as it was unpublished and I have to Rewrite it again Because It was not a Very Good hub but it was my first hub page and Someone maybe Disagreed with what I was saying in it as I seen from His Comment where he claimed he made money from a program but if he said he did he was lying.The Program in question was Revtweet how many of you have made money from that ?. Maybe his was the Owner of the Program as when I searched for Revtweet it did not appear in a Google search Result only the twitter Profile and my hub page was third on that list where I had made Referance to this thread to see how difficult it is. Now he Did get Paid but look how many followers he has as most of us Normal tweeters have only one account because we are one person not 5 Robots.

Now About Hub pages in general they Request that you write to their Standards but i think their Standards are a little to high for 60 % sharing also the Fact that it is So easy to get unpublished as it's is only a Page. I only made a hubpage to Get a backlink for my blog and I am not really interested in them, But this Hub was not Getting Tons of Traffic but I was getting very little but It was Ranked High in Google so Now I have to Rewrite it but Do I want to because it only had 5 visitors on that day and even if 3 of them Flagged it as Over Promotional I still believe that it is not a large amount of people and I should at least get a warning before It is Unpublished.

Now this Was My First Attempt at a Hub page and I have written Other Hubs but after I seen how easy it is to get Unpublished I think I will not be Making any more Hubs and just sticking to this Blog where I get 100 %

Start looking At Tags For Backlinks

Image via CrunchBase

I have not Blogged about Mybloglog for a while but there is Something That I have found in there that I think I have addressed Before but Maybe Because I want to Blog about it Again I will Do so. I want to Say Something about Tags and using them to Find Related Blogs. When you Put a Tag in your Profile click on it to See how many Members are using that Tag. Now you can Visit these Blogs and if you Find that they are Related then Post a Comment on them not only that Link in to their Posts in your Articles because they Might link back and if they Don't It does not Matter too Much.

By you Linking to Related blogs in your Post's you are Slowly incresing your Page Rank. Now We can't all Get a Link Back from Problogger or Copyblogger but just commenting on those blogs is like trying to win the Lotto. Because These blogs have hundreds of comments and it's a Hard job to get your comment seen on these sites. You have a Much better chance of Refferal Traffic from a smaller less know site as long as you stick to the Basic Rules of Commenting and Put in a Reasonable Comment that will Earn Possibly a Backlink from the Site.

So look at your Tags and See just how many People are using the Same tags as you first join the communities and if you can Comment on the posts. The Next thing to do is Link to these Posts in your Posts so this way you are Creating a Small network but if the other blog is Doing the Same then this Can Go a Little Viral and all these Sites link to Each other and your Page rank increases.

Another thing if you are not into Marketing Programs Don't Join these Communities as They only attract more Get rich Quick People and you will have a network of people that will not do anything to help your blog get networked Properly. Also Watch the Tags that other People put on you these are sometimes noting more than Spam and Remove any Tags that contain URL's just so it will eventually stop people doing this as it is Pointless Spam

Using Yahoo Answers For Traffic and Content

Often I have Been Siting here trying to Think Of a Topic For a Post and Sometimes I go to Yahoo answers Look at the Question and Give an Answer. When I answer Someones Question I always Leave my Signature At the bottom of the Question so they can Visit me.But I Never Say I have the Answer Here unless I do and if I do I will not put it as A source for my Answer as this is Against the rules and I will get Reported.But I am allowed to put my signature in there so this is also a good way to get you noticed in the community and if you do something wrong that can work against you very badly that's why i never put my blog as a source rather as an option .

Another Good thing is when you go there you will see many crazy questions that you thought anyone knew the answer. But no there are people out there that do not know or are just pretending not to to reasearch the feedback they might get on them.

So what do you do then with Yahoo answers for content Ideas. You ask a sill question you get a silly answer but how about writing an Answer on your Blog to those silly questions.You would be supprised just how many silly people are out there looking for these answers.So I am making one here Now I am going to Call it

"How do you copy and paste ?"
Step 1*Left Click Down
Step 2*Mouse Over the Text
Step 3*Right Click Select Copy
Step 4*Right Click paste


.
B.T.W now that you have learned that
Do not Do that with peoples Blogs as
you will get in trouble for it.




So if you can Answer a Few Questions be it about Pet's Computers Knitting kittens or Whatever you know why not just Blog them or If you don't feel like making a blog make a lens or hub about them.I myself prefer hub pages as lenses seem too cluttered as someone once said to me.So then If you have the question "What to Put on a Blog" you know where the Answer is in Yahoo Answers

Making a Breakaway Group in Blogcatalog

Feeling tired of people posting messages in my Blogcatalog profile I have began a Small breakaway Group.The Idea of it Is to just Post your Blog Address and Visit the other people in the Group and stay look around for a minute or so and you skip all the channel hopping so you can cut out the middleman and get traffic to your blog.

I would like the members to stay and look around the other Blogs because bounce rates affect Ranking.And things like Blogwalking are killing you page rank if everyone in the group just visited each blog for 30 seconds everyday it could increase Alexa rank also.So would you visit 10 sites a day for 10 visits and Watch your alexa Rank go up I think it's a good deal so visit the group it's called put your site in here only and visit the members for a little time and they will visit back.

Little steps like this will get you a few visits a day and maybe you could get backlinks also but remember to visit each site at least once a day if not a few times a week.Because this method would get you more traffic than Blogcatalog.So why not join in a get some visitors even if it's only 10 a day but Remember only 1 url per person.This is because of people who have 10 blogs and we can't visit them all so just one person 1 blog and 1 visit for each blog you visit.
