My new addiction is blogging. My challenge is to earn as much as possible writing about subjects I am interested in. AdSense was he first essential step. Now I am just trying to build content, and keep the ball rolling. Google analytics is another essential tool to keep track of your stats. I have been reading problogger.com a lot as it is full of interesting articles. There is one article I read once about the richest bloggers and it included the authors pictures, but I haven't been able to find the article, so if anybody has a link to it, please pass it my way. So from my first week of research, here are the key points.
1. Adsense (Forget about referral ads, this does not work for the most part)
2. Google Analytics
3. Read problogger.com
4. Use Craigslist.org to get traffic
5. Post comments on others blogs to get more traffic
Getting Traffic
I place clever ads on craigslist.org. For example, I try to sell some products, and I give a link to my blog. I win in both ways doing this because I not only get to sell something, I get a ton of traffic too. I have found that if you just post a bunch of links to your blogs, the posting will be flagged and removed.
Also, it is a no brainer, but put links on your myspace and facebook as well. I am also a stock photographer, so I have put links on all my stock photography selling websites like istockphoto.com for example.
I hope this information will serve you as well as it has served me.
Sincerely
PA
