Blogging For Dollars

Start Earning Income Now With Your Blog

If you are planning on making money with blogging, there are some things you should be aware of before you decide to make the plunge into blog marketing.

First, you need to find a market that ranks high in search engines, but low in competition. Doing so will give you an edge over those marketers who neglect to do the research. Finding a niche rarely used will give you the advantage over your competition.

While good content is of utmost importance, you also want to ensure that it is original content as well. If you market your blog with plagiarized content, you will be setting yourself up for legal problems. If you do use copied content, be sure that you have the legal rights to do so.

It's important to use a design for your blog that will stand out from the crowd. Try to get a theme that is going to match the market that you are promoting. Doing so will make it look even more professional. Just setting up a blog and hoping people will find it is just not going to get links or rankings.

If your goal is to earn a six figure income from your blog marketing, you will need to keep updating your blog with new posts and comments. If you post interesting information on your blog, there's a good chance your visitors will return often just to learn more. Everyone loves news, and even the readers of your blog will appreciate you blogging about the current events in the market that you are blogging about.

Don't ignore the importance of comments for keeping up to date on your blog. Make certain to always answer and acknowledge the comments that are made to your blog as well as to others. When you show that you are an actual person who can hold a conversation, you are proving to others that you are real, and that you really and truly have the best intentions for your blog. Make sure that no comment goes unanswered.

Be sure that your blog has the track back feature. With the track back feature on your blog, you are allowing other people to link to your blog. You want to be able to track your visitors and clickers to know where they are coming from and to tell what keywords they searched on to find your blog, and where they did their searching. Doing so will help take out all of the guess work when it comes to blog marketing. You will know what keywords are working, and which are not.

Exchanging links with authority blogs and websites that are in your same market is another great way to get the word out about your blog. The authority sites are going to have a higher page rank, and will also be listed high in Google's search results. So do some searches and check those out and see if they are up to exchanging links. If they are not, you could always just add those into your blogroll. You do not need permission to do that if they are not into linking. However, in the world of blogs, most blog owners are thankful for all links, and are willing to return the favor.

Search engine optimization is critical if you wish to grab a high spot in the rankings. SEO is search engine optimization. You are going to find that if you want your blog to go anywhere, you need SEO, and you need to know how to use it to the advantage of your blog.

Another important thing that you will want to do for your blog is to be sure that you find links, exchange links, get one way links, and ask for more and more links. You can never have too many links to your blog. The more links the better.
