Haven’t written here in a while. Well… the reason for that is that I have been busy applying what I have learned the past few months on other sites, 54 other sites to be exact. Have been making some money doing all this as well. Over the past month or two that I have been absent from ideasandmoney.info I have managed to put up over 50 sites, big and small, blogs, as well as simple and more complex affiliate sites. Bottom line is that I am actually making some cash now; still not enough, but way more than before. I am making money blogging, I am making money online. I am not a millionaire yet, unfortunately but I have a nice part-time income, to pay for my entertainment, some of my rent and other expenses. I have been thinking about this blog, I feel bad for leaving it like this, letting it sit and not actually doing anything with it. I decided to start posting again. My income grove is set up, I am making some money blogging and I think the pressure is off now. I will use this blog, this “make money blogging” blog to post about things that have worked for me just so anyone who is interested can benefit as well. If you want to get started you can read some stuff that I have written before in this blog. I will only direct you to some stuff, because the rest is bullshit. If not bullshit, it falls under the wider academic field of “noobology” and therefore should be avoided. This is where I would start if I were you.
By the way, this stuff applies for all kinds of blogs, all kinds of sites. This is what you should keep in mind:
duckeldanny.com is a blog about making money online. From what I understand it is maintained by a German blogger who is doing is an excellent job channelling traffic from European search engines and other European sites to his blog. duckeldanny.com contains posts about making money blogging. It presents a great collection of strategies, affiliates and advertising networks. If you are interested in making more money blogging you should check these reviews out because this blogger does a good job. In addition to all the making money online and making money blogging tips you can find on duckeldanny.com, there is a variety of posts about different blogging and internet related subjects that make for a good read.
It is a Wordpress blog and every few posts there is at least one cool wordpress pluggin for all wordpress users to choose from. Personally, I always wanted a wordpress blog but was to busy…er…lazy to switch.
Regarding traffic, duckeldanny.com seems to have a lot of European visitors and some days over 1,500 uniques, according to the project wonderful stats which are usually a few hundred visitors off. Nevertheless, over 1,000 uniques is over 1,000 uniques and that is great.
Aside from the make moneyblogging tips, and the news bits that are featured regularly on this make money blog, at duckeldanny.com you will find some solid advice on other blog related topics, particularly interesting stuff for webmasters.
A post I found interesting particularly was one on the different types of Meta tags and why they are significant. It all boils down to SEO. Although I have stressed how important getting backlinks from other blogs is, what I have not talked about a lot is on site optimization. Things you can change on your blog or sie to rank better. One of the things all webmasters should consider learning is the proper use of meta tags and duckeldanny.com has a sweet post about this topic titled: Bloggers guide to meta tags.
When I started blogging a few months ago I was absolutely clueless about what I was doing. I searched for a few blogging keywords, read some A-listers posts and thought I was ready to take on the internet…lol. I think about it some times and I laugh. Well, 4 months have passed and I still don’t know much about what I am doing. I feel clueless sometimes…never helpless however. I never feel helpless because what ever the subject might be I can research, experiment and learn. Coming across a nice post, even if it is on an introductory level, might help get the hamsters walking and the brain juice flowing.
Duckeldanny.com does a good job including some informative posts on SEO that provide a solid foundation for your further SEO attempts.
SEO is not something you will learn from one day to another. Never buy into the sales pitches that claim that you will learn whatever you need to know and make money instantly by doing this and that. Like everything else, you need to put in some effort. Read, learn and implement constantly. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Start small and grow slowly. There is no fast fix that will make you successful. Success in anything does take a lot of effort and determination. Especially if you define success by how much money you make. Making money blogging or online or offline or whatever only comes when you master your process, when you invest your time and money wisely and you are not afraid losing it.
One of the things I like to do is help people get a solid foundation on knowledge and know-how. Not that I am an expert in the subject but I thing that If I can clarify one thing to someone then at least I have at least reached at some point of success. Without establishing that solid foundation you are going nowhere I appreciate blogs that include those extra few little things that will help you learn one or two things. That’s why I like duckeldanny.com. Because he is a honest blogger with goals, a methodology and presents things and information in a straight forward manner.
A good example of this is a post about setting up your affiliate online business. It is simple and straight forward and will put things in perspective if you are aiming to make money blogging.
Anyhow, I like duckeldanny.com and though I ought to let you know. It is one informative up and coming make money blog.
Zdiaz.com, a Make Money, Money Management, Investing, Make Money Online, Law and Technology Blog…amongst other things
There are countless make money online blogs out there. Just search for the keywords, make money blog, or make money blogging and you will get 10’s of millions of results. The general consensus is that most of these blogs are worthless. Some are automatically made and a vast majority contain regurgitated information. Some have been created and then abandoned. I don’t disagree with this notion completely. Nevertheless, I am a firm believer that somewhere between the vast lists of search engine results lay a few blogging gems. Aside from the big boys and girls out there, the big money blogs…there are many smaller, or medium sized blogs pursuing the money keywords that are well maintained, their authors are passionate about what they are doing and they are good sources of information.
For me, a blog is a good source of information when the author(s), the bloggers do not only preach, advise and point to information but they also try out what they suggest, make sure what they tried works and then if it doesn’t they still write about it. These people will engage in experiments, try things see what works and not just write about something just because a supposed blogging guru did so. I personally like the blogs that are maintained by bloggers who try things out. I will subscribe to those blogs, learn from their successes or mistakes and compare results with what I have managed to achieve.
One of these blogs is zdiaz.com. Zidiaz.com amongst other things deals with money, money management and making money online. You can four great posts on investing in the Philippine stock market in the financial management and investments category as well as a post with Money saving tips. By doing so, this blogger is creating content that includes the money keywords that will in the end help this blog rank higher.
In terms of getting blogs rank better in searches, there have been a few things that caught my attention. Aside from focusing on the money keyword, writing about money management and providing tips on saving and investing, at zdiaz.com you can find some interesting SEO experiments. To start, I want to mention the importance of understanding Google Trends. Anyone who is interested in optimizing a site for search engines must decide on a few keywords. These keywords should not only be relating to your content but also keywords that search engine users will look for. Before you start optimizing you ought to check that there is a high volume of searches for a particular keyword or set of keywords. You can do that by using Google Trends.You can get a better idea at zdiaz.com, and by reading a good breakdown of Google trends and high volume keywords.
So, following his own advice, zdiaz.com embarked on a journey of SEO exploration determined to achieve high rankings for a few keywords. To do so, this blogger, picked different keywords with lower competion than make money blog, money money online and so on… and created a couple of posts. I found two posts one for Mr. Bean and one for Googeland Googol, two words that are almost like Google but not quite…Nevertheless, people search for the words and a site can get visitors as long as it ranks well for them.
The most interesting experiment I came across on zdiaz.com, is something I have been willing to try myself for a while.
Zdiaz.com SEO experiment
Charlie Bit Me is a youtube video that has been viewed 15,694,744 times. Videos this popular are increasingly becoming a vehicle for blogs to attract visitors. This blogger is doing just that. By creating a post that includes this video he is trying to get some traffic from search engine visitors who are looking for it. Well, the searches for this video seem to have peaked according to Google trends but still zdiaz is doing a good job in ranking his blow well for the particular keyword.
Here you can see that zdiaz.com is in moving up in the SERPS and has managed to get on the third page of the search for the keyword Charlie bit me.
By having a widely popular video like this one on your site can help drive traffic. It will not necessarily be traffic that will read your posts but will possibly generate a few dollars if they click on a few advertisements or buy something off your site.
As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, I enjoy reading blogs that have information that is derived from actual experimentation, from trial and error and can give me, one more newbie blogger the opportunity to see first hand what works and what doesn’t. Zdiaz.com is one of these blogs. I will definitely keep going back for more.
I have written a post about the two stages a blog can be in. These stages are the experimentation and implementation stages. The post is titled: Blogging experimentation and implementation, it might be an interesting read if you are still figuring things out yourself.
