Easy (Kinda) Money

Between my hard drive crash and the other projects I am launching, I have seriously neglected this blog. I apologize for that. However, here is what I have learned over the past 2 to 3 weeks. I am starting to comprehend how to build blog traffic. Even with my sad updates, I am receiving 150 hits per day. This is twice what I had last month…. I have you to thank for that!!!!!!!

I make a commitment to update this blog as least four times per week from here on. I truly want to update you with the new information that I have gained over these past few weeks.

My projects have been fivefold.
1. I am creating three new blogs. Two of which will be linked to this site. continue reading…

Firstly, I would like to apologize for not updating the blog for the past few days. I had a family emergency I needed to take care of. So, please forgive me if I was away from my computer for the past five days.

I do not agree with all of the suggestions, but there were several that I plan to implement. I also want to thank those of you that sent continue reading…

It has become clear to me that most of my visitors come from a direct links and bookmarks. As wonderful as this is, I want to optimize my search engine ranking. However, this can be difficult with a dynamic front page. As you know, every time I update this blog, the new information is at the top of the page. Then, I read a great post at pro-blogger.com. I am going to begin to use my sidebar header and footer as static search engine anchors.

I will explain it to you this way. Because my blog is dynamic, in other words, each time I post to my blog it is at the top of the page. Therefore, every day my search engine keywords change. Granted, it is true that each individual post page has its own search engine ranking. However, I want to be sure that I can rank the main index page as high as possible.

This is a re-print og an eHow article that I just posted. On eHow the title is How to Make Your Blog Better, this is because all the good titles were taken. If you are asking, “Why a reprint?”, read my post Killing Two Birds with One Stone.
