[ 6.07.2009 | sumberide.com ]

Here are some ways you can use to improve the blog traffic.

Hosting Blog Directly on your Domain
Try as much as possible to host your blog on your primary site. This will attract more attention, trust and definitely translates into increased blog traffic.

Creating link Clusters within Blog
This involves creating group of links that point at a post or page in your blog to improve its search engine ranking. Edit couple of your posts and link them to posts already doing well on search engine ranking.

Write Topics that Attract Attention
Take your time to research on topics that you intend to write about. People will only visit your blog if they can find topics that are relevance to their lives. More people will subscribe to your blog once they find value of the information you are giving. Quality topics mean improved blog traffic.

Create Smart posts
Use more than text in your posts, Include more interactive elements like images, movie clips, graphs among others. Make sure to format text using bullet, indentations etc to make your posts more appealing. Avoid boring post format, and you will increase blog traffic.

Guest Bloggers
Invite well known people in your niche to write posts on their area of expertise. This will attract more visitors to your blog, especially those that subscribe to your guest’s school of thought. But maintain the rights to edit your guests’ work before posting.

Editing your posts
If your old posts have not been ranked for long period, consider editing them appropriately. For example by rephrasing them. Put more emphasis on titles and first paragraph.

Giving Great posts to prominent blogs
This is a way to create awareness about your brand. Write something great and donate to great blogger. This way the blogger gets more traffic and links, while you get exposure and publicity, and eventually more traffic to your blog.

Making Money on Blogs With Your Previously Written Online Article Content

[ 3.07.2009 | sumberide.com ]

Many folks that are true experts in their field have been participating in industry and in the real world for a long period of time. So, it stands to reason that their expertise came long before the blogging world ever came into existence, and depending how long they’ve been an expert in their fields, there may not have even been cell phones or fax machines when they were in their expertise prime.

Still, many of these decade long experts have years of articles and written work, that they’ve used for manuals, marketing, trade journals and other purposes. Lot of this material has been converted into articles over the years. They know nothing about blogging, and thus maybe missing out on a good source of “passive income” and I’d like to explain.

You see if they have a lot of content they could easily find an unemployed Blogger, who actually has real world experience. Get him or her to commit to a 3-month program. Let them keep 30% of the AsSence money coming in from the advertising on the blog. They can take all the older-articles, and post them with pictures and clip art (copyright free stuff).

Not just one blog perhaps 10 or more depending on the amount of created content. Each Blog will post three new articles per month up to 150 articles. The person doing the work signs a contract for 3-months after that renews for 1-year if they like it. If not it reverts all back to the content owner. And they could indeed recruit several other authors if this works and take 50% (30% to their blogger go-to guy) 20% to them, the rest to the authors?

Then it would make sense and everyone wins. You see, there is nothing wrong with passive income, nor should one who is a “Real Expert” be against a little extra play money. First, you’d have to set up a bank account for direct deposit of funds from the blogs and then you would pay the blogger his or her cut? Something like that? Just a thought, have a nice day.
