Let Jessica and Angelina Help You

Do you write about gossips or artists. If you do, writing about Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, and maybe Britney Spears can really bring traffic to you blogs. This is because those three ladies have been in Yahoo! Buzz Index for more that 2 months. Write something about their pregnancy, breakup or anything and you'll find somebody come to your blog from search engine searching for those women. I don't write about them but I did tried writing about something that was on the Buzz index and readers for that article came within hours.

Instead of Yahoo Buzz, you can also find some topics with Google Trends or any other services. These tool can really help if you are out of topic to write just as I am right now and they can really bring some traffic to your blogs. If you want a boost of traffic, you can simply write the hot topic of today on the Breakout chart. The faster you write about those topics, the more visitors you'll have.

Google Site Submission Took One Week to be Indexed

Just like I wrote in the title, I just checked Google Webmaster Tool and this blog has been indexed by Google but not all the blog contents. But still this is a good news because this means that this blog is search-able in Google if you entered the right keywords.

Ok now one interesting fact that I found last night. If you really know this then share what you got. Last night I've checked the Google Analytics for all my blogs and one of my new blogs (just a week older than this blog), Duan Says... had received it's first visitor from Google Search (search engine). What I really want to share here is that the visitor found the site because of a keyword not even in the meta tags, description, or the title of the blog. The visitor actually searched for a keyword which is in the content of the blog post. The visitor searched for "lychee tak halal" and that keyword is not even in the post title. I tried to search also by using that same keyword and that blog came out in top.

My conclusion is, write a very good contents about something that have less competitor might help your blogs to be in the top position in search engines. Although meta tags and keywords can help a lot, you never write in your blogs just about something related to the keywords you've specified. Different people will search for different things. Search engines are just like a trap to catch visitors but not all of them will fall for our bait.

Join Affiliates Programs

To make profit other that advertising, we can also enter affiliates programs offered by various companies. Affiliate Programs is like a referral program where you help bring people to fixed sites or products that you linked in your blogs or sites. In Affiliate Programs, you are usually paid in commissions either for every lead to the advertiser, when visitors buy or subscribe to product or service of the advertisers, or sometimes the advertiser also pay you for every click on the ads. You'll be paid highest when there are product or service purchased or subscribed.

I just found several sites that offer free chances to become an affiliate and I'm still looking. Not all the sites offer free registration and some are just links you to an ads loaded sites with no actual contents at all. I had just registered with Commission Junction and the site have loads of advertisers participating in the affiliates program. You can also try eBay Partner Network, Google Affiliates Network, Amazon.com Associates, Apple iTunes Affiliates, Clickbooth, Microsoft Affiliate Network, Avis Rent A Car -Affiliate Partners, Affiliate Junktion, RevenueGateway, or you can just help Spread Firefox to get some freebees.

Don't Try to Disguise Your Blog Like AdSense Ads

I found a very important post by Alan Liew at http://moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com/. It's a really important warning to all Adsense users. If you don't read carefully the terms and conditions when you're signing for Adsense account, you better do it now. Alan Liew had been disallowed to display Adsense ads in his blog because his contents or layout just looks like ads. (As being said by Google). So don't try to fool the visitors in order to have high click rate and especially not Google. Nobody want to be terminated by Google. Try to read more at his page.
Read again the AdSense Term & Conditions especially the Prohibited Uses.

What Can We Do With Blog?

Some people want to blog when they saw blogging is interesting and beneficial. Somehow they don't really have all the ideas. Lets discuss what we can do with blogs. Why need to think so hard? Just write about what you know most, what you are best at, or what is your interest. It is everything from arts, entertainment, gossips, automotive, politics, anything. It's your idea and you better stick to it. If you have other ideas, create another blog.

I can see that most people use their blog like a personal notes or diary. Some use as a place to shout their feelings and some use to condemn the government. I use blogs to show my arts, to post my thoughts about anything, to teach and most important is to make money.

Why don't just write our ideas in books or paper? Blogging is for sharing. Somehow our ideas might interest someone and become great benefit to us. Other people can help us with our projects by giving comments and ideas. We can also link ourselves with people that have same interest like us. By doing this, we can help each others to benefit in any field that we like.
