Submit Your Blogs to Directories 1970-01-01 00:59:59 So you're ready to launch your blog to the world and you keep reading about submitting to directories. What are those exactly and how will it help your blog? Well, there are two main purposes for doing this:1] Get readers to find your blog easily.2] Help in your Search Engine strategy.For a start just submit your blog to as many worthy directories out there and some will require a link back to them so this might take some time to setup. I would highly suggest starting with these blog directories listed in Google Directory and work your way down. The other good recommendation would be BlogTopList.com which rank blogs based on their category and traffic.Next step requires further research work on your part. Depending on your blog topic, there might be some topic specific directories out there which you should submit your blog to as well. A good example would be Chef's Blog Directory if your blog is about food and iTravelnet.com if it is about Travel.Generally it takes time for your blo Read more:Blogs

Improving Banner Advertising Click-Through Rate 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Why do people click on some banners and not on others? There are several things you can do to make your banner more attractive and effective towards your marketing plans.Banner
advertising is measured by "click-through rate". Click
-through rate is the percentage of page views, to the number of times a visitor clicks on the banner. If your banner is viewed 20 times and is clicked on once, it enjoys a 5% click-through rate.To increase your probability of click-throughs, you want to make sure the viewer can understand the benefit of your offer quickly. If your message is vague and can't be understood in a couple of seconds, the average viewer will move on.Try to have your banner motivate the viewer with a call to action. Phrases such as, "Free' or "Click Here' have actually been very successful.An animated banner can catch the individual's attention, but you must still deliver your message quickly. You also need to be sure that the animation doesn't have too large a file Read more:Advertising

Any advertisers can go to the ClickBooth site and there are enough resources there to help you out.First of all, you need to create an account and get your site registered. After that, you have to wait for the site administrator to review your submission and then, once approved, you can start publishing ads on your blog.For publishing ads on your blog, you have to start a campaign. The one I am using above is an optimized rotator. This displays a random ad each time the page is loaded. And then the performances are tracked. Slowly, the number of times low-performance ads are shown is reduced. Thus, you get an ad-space that is filled using ads that are specific to the kind of traffic that you receive on your blog.

Is PageRank Important for my Blog Revenue Strategy? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Well logically speaking it is quite important as many established money making programs refer to this and offer your blog revenue projects based on this criteria.

In Fear of Google for my Revenue Channels 1970-01-01 00:59:59 As I ventured into the wonderful world of making some money online, there have been a lot of coverage on Google
Adsense and how for so many webmasters it is the most recommended source of revenue for the past few years since its inception. Being a person who always prefers to take the road most traveled and proven, I've implemented Adsense to all my blogs as well.Since I was just at the starting point of my blogging journey, I placed more attention on building my site and making it presentable so that I have a good home to house my contents. But by doing so I did not take the time to read many of my money generating provider's guidelines and regulations. Well the past two weeks have been a real eye opener for me since I got a warning email from Google.It seems that my traffic generation exercise with BlogExplosion and BlogMad is against Google's policies which I didn't know at the time. In fact I posted earlier about how Blog Traffic Generators can help in your blog traffic and per Read more:Revenue

This of course would be best done when setting up your blog at the very beginning in order to avoid coding issues and long hours to apply the new theme with your blog already containing contents or worse case scenario being totally lost why your blog is not displaying the way you want it. So what are the available solutions?There are 3 ways to go about it:1] Use standard templates provided by your Blog service provider.2] Download free templates online and implement it on your blog.3] Engage designers to do it or design it yourself.Most of the standard templates are quite common and therefore your blog will most often be similar to several others out in the blogsphere.

Add Adsense in New Blogger Beta Post 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I received 2 emails recently asking how I managed to place Google Adsense
after each post using the new Blogger
Beta platform.Well here is what you should do:Go to Beta Blogger template page, click on 'Edit HTML' tab and tick the checkbox of 'Expand Widget Templates'. Look for the following lines of Beta Blogger template HTML code usually found somewhere after the half-way mark of the entire codings:<divpost-" + data:post.id'><b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><data:post.body/>Then place your Google Adsense code after: <data:post.body/>Now after doing so, the problem you'll faced is that Blogger will not accept the codes thus unable to save changes made or the Adsense ad will not appear correctly or at all when checking on your blog. The issue is with the following Adsense codes: There are 2 solutions to this, which is either to remove those 2 codes completely or manipulate the codes. Removal would be totally against Google Adsense TOS so that lea
