Increasing Visitors and Making Money on Your Blog
One of the blogs that I regularly read is WebKEW (Web Knowledge Equals Wealth). Marshall Brain (cool last name!) outlines the steps required to make a successful website, be it a blog, ecommerce, content or services oriented website. Well, I've been trying to follow his advice and most of it seems like common sense, but with any sound common sense type advice, it's only useful if you actually believe it and follow it.
I chose to concentrate on a specific number of topics on my blog, mainly IT and Web Technology related ones. I may sprinkle in a few unrelated or funny posts here and there, but GetIntoThis is mainly a techy blog (for now.) Also as a personal experiment, I decided to add a few Google ads, just to see how they would perform on a blog that gets about 10,000-12,000 unique visitors a month. I put in the ads a few weeks ago and so far I've made almost $3.00! No, not 30 or 300, but "3". I never intended to make money from this blog anyway, but its just interesting to see how it performs.
I started this blog in April and so far here's a hint of how it's been doing:
Not bad for a small website I put together in one day using some great existing tools. The hardest part of it all is providing good and relevant content. And that is made a bit easier by reading other related blogs. So, go ahead and start your own blog and if it relates to the content on my site, then we can exchange links :-)
