I want ViperChill to become one of the top marketing blogs in the world and to do that I need to write better articles (at least in my opinion) than any other blogger in this industry. If you want people to stick around on your site and give them everything they need, then Adsense is probably not the best monetisation strategy for you.

Health, gambling, forex and gaming industries for example, are very competitive online. The phrases in the example above are considered to be long-tail phrases as they contain more words and have a much smaller search volume, but they’re also easier to rank for. Let’s look at ViperChill as another example here.

For example, it’s far better to have links to your site with ‘ Personal Development ‘ as the anchor text, rather than something like ‘Glen’s web site’ I knew I could get a lot of links with my desired anchor text so decided to go for it. My guess, is quite a lot.

Feedburner If you’re a blogger and you’re not using Feedburner, I first of all want to know where you’ve been, and secondly need to say that you have been missing out. For example, I use Gmail for my email, but I login with an @viperchill.com address and have even replaced the Gmail logo with my own. Cheers Oscar.

As someone who does public relations for companies, I’m sure you carefully pick your bloggers for the pitch. Bloggers have to weed out the crap and PR pros need to find the right people for the job. The job of someone who does blogger outreach can be difficult. We both have difficult jobs. That’s just fine.

If they have too many friends and not many followers, for example, you might not want to follow them. You might choose to only follow active users (who tweet between 1 and 100 times a month, for example) and not users who are either way too inactive or are too excessive. Moreover, you can also nofollow people based on their tweets.

In it’s simplest form, guest blogging is the exchange of content from one blogger to another, for a site which the author does not own. writes content for another website and this act makes you a ‘guest blogger.’ This, of course, is why so many bloggers care about their feed count.

There is the odd exception of a blogger who springs onto the scene from nowhere and gains a large following, but for most people, that simply doesn’t happen. If you aren’t going to get some random growth spurt from a big blogger or an article hitting the Digg homepage, carve out the results for yourself.

I like to use an analogy with having a boyfriend or girlfriend to explain this example. He uses an example where he asks readers to think about their income levels over the last few years and notice that there will be highs and lows, but you’ve probably returned to a similar wealth level time and time again.

There are bloggers who have made a lot of money in less time than that and people who have taken a lot longer, but if you’re willing to work hard, I think a year is a great time-frame in which you can build a successful and profitable blog.

If you’re like a lot of bloggers though, you may feel slightly deterred from monetising your site. The last point is also something important to remember if you launch a product, for example. For example, if you have a page that receives a lot of search traffic then you could put ads on that as search traffic converts highly.

As a blogger, you probably do not have the luxury of having a staff of people to work for you. We have reached a point in late 2010 where the work required to generate traffic for a normal blog via search engines is much greater than that required to generate an equal amount of traffic via social media. The power of brands.
