Concentrate first on your posts rather than your adsense ads

If you are just starting with your blog do not concern yourself much with the adsense ads.

Put more thought in your posts, because the posts are the one that will invite in readers to your blogs.  Do not be afraid to go back in your other posts, reread it and if you see something wrong edit it, if you want to add additional points go for it.  There is always a room for improvements.

One tip I have when posting is make your topic relevant.  As I have emphasized in several occasions, make sure that when your visitors are finish reading your post they should have learned something from it, and that learning should not be that they would not want to read another of your articles.

Back to the point I am making, write quality first then quantity second posts, and when you see that they are coming in - your visitors, that your blog's traffic is increasing, then you could think of making something out of those adsense ads.

Think of a good name for your blog

That goes for both the blog and the blog's url addess.

Thinking of a good name for your blog is important, because you have to consider your first time visitors, if you want them to return to your blog.  They must be able to remember what your blog's name is or even just a portion of it, so that they could google  search it.

A good blog name will be something memorable, and something relating to the posts you made in your blog.

So, before you hack away in posting numerous posts in your blog, even before you start a blog.  Try to come up first with a good blog name.  As the saying goes -"A good name goes a long way."

Another link I want to exchange

I have a site that averages around 2000 - 4000 visits a day.  You could check the site here.

You'll get a bigger chance of getting visited by linking in this site.  But before I'll add your blog link in this site, copy first the code below and then place it in your blog, then send me the address to your blog so that I could place it in my other site.  Thanks

Let the exchanging begin: copy the code below and paste it in your site.  Then send me your site's address so that I could place a link here to your blog.

Don't be afraid to mix it up

Keyword here is experiment.  Try to move things around your blog, until you are satisfied on how it looks like.  Play with the colors, play with the designs, add elements remove elements, just mix it up until you find something that properly reflects who you are.  Because if you like it then chances are your readers will like it.

Love words and play with them

Well I think this is a given, if you want to be serious in blogging you should have a way with words.  Again you do not need to be an expert writer, as long as you like and love writing(even if the writing does not love you back).  Because if you could do that, then as they say this would be a piece of cake or a walk in the park.

Though if you are not comfortable yet in writing, there is still time.  Write and write and maybe soon it will grow on you but if not then maybe this is not an avenue for you (Which is actually a good thing on my part hehehe less competition for readers).

Another thing is if you want to write, you better be prepared also to read a lot.  Those two things go hand in hand.

Being plain might help you earn more with your blogs

I read this tip somewhere, sorry I forgot where I got it, so if this is from you, message me so that I could properly give you the credit.

So here's the blog tip:

Make your post not so interesting(huh! in my case that is easily done).  The idea here is that when your readers become disinterested with what you are saying they tend to wander on the different areas of your blog.   Hopefully the ads from adsense will get their attention and when they click it, voila! instant earning for you.

Do not over think much what you are putting in your blog, because the post you are making is not the one that makes you money, it is the advertisements.  The purpose of your blog is to reel in readers, but your goal is to let them click on those advertisements without directly telling them.  Hmmm... much like fly fishing... hooking them with fake bait :)

Blog into two places at once with YouSayToo

You still have that dream of earning money from your blog but you are having problems in attracting in readers.  Sometimes it is really difficult to find audience to your blog if you are just expecting them to accidentally stumble upon it.

In order for you to double your chances of getting some readers, is to able to blog in two places at once, and that is what YouSayToo.com offers.  Once you made an account with YouSayToo, you will now be eligible to add your pre-existing blogs.  In my case my blog from blogger.  Once the blog is added at YouSayToo, then all you need to do is continue blogging in your existing blog, which is then automatically updated with your second blog at YouSayToo.  

If you already have a pre-existing adsense account, just add your id.  Then you have the opportunity to earn in two places at once.  What are you waiting for you could sign up here

Blend in your adsense to your blog

So you are planning to earn with adsense.  You got your account approve and its time to place the ads in your site.  You then get to thinking hmmmm... because I'll earn from the ads in my adsense I'll have to make it as colorful as I can, so that it will attract a lot of viewers that hopefully will click on it.  Great idea, right?  Well, I have to break it to you I think that will be the worst idea you will have with adsense

The more that it will look like an advertisement, the more that people will ignore it.  If people then classifies your blog as a site dedicated only in making money from the ads in adsense, they will avoid it like the plague.     The best thing you can do then is have those adsense ads blend in with your blog.  The more that it looks like a part of your blog and not sticking out like a sore thumb, the more chances that viewers will click on it.

Go then to your adsense account then try to modify your ads(change the color, the font, etc...) so that it seems like an integral part of your blog.

Adsense Blog

This is no secret the best way to earn from your blog is by having Google adsense installed.

What is adsense?  I'm pretty sure you have seen it, or you have tried hard to ignore it.  Adsense is basically the advertisements you see in the websites that you have been browsing.  Though there are other advertisements coming from other ad networks but still the bulk is coming from google's adsense.

So, if you decide to make money out of your blogs, adsense is the way to go.  It's easy to open an account just go to adsense website then sign up.  Follow the instructions carefully on how to incorporate adsense to your blogs and more importantly obey the RULES!!!  Break the rules and kiss your dream of earning with adsense goodbye.

But like I said with my other posts, earning online is no easy money, there's hardwork involve.  So think before you commit.  You could read more about my tips in blogging, you might get some ideas there, in blogging in general or earning with your blogs.

Make sure that readers get something out of your blog

If you want to have some regular readers to your blog, make sure that they get something out of your blogs.  What I mean is that after they finish reading your blog they will feel a bit smarter because of what you have written.  Again make it your job to educate and inform.  It is always a good feeling to know that you have learned something new, try to invoke that feeling to your readers.

It does not mean that you should only write high concept ideas, again you could write anything that you are knowledgeable about and that you want to share to other people who might benefit from your knowledge.  This could include mundane things from what color matches this color to what you need to survive in the jungles of the Amazon.  The point is be informative, they might not use it today but that knowledge will come in handy someday.

Blog clearly so that you could deliver the point you are making

This does not mean that you need to have an English major(it helps if you do though not really required), what I mean is to be as clear as possible in conveying your message.

I for one commits a lot of grammatical errors when writing but I'll try to limit it as much as I possible can.  Not all of us could hire editors anyways.

My rule of thumb is if it sounds or reads OK and the point I want to make is clear then I could breathe easily.  Though if people wants to correct your grammar or spelling, welcome it.  Editing your work is not that difficult anyways.

So, blog away the more you do it the better you will become.

Blog what is popular to have traffic

My previous post I said - Blog only what you know.

I stand with that statement,  and I still believe that is true.  You should blog only what you know.  That is why if you want to blog about something else, like things that are popular.  Learn what you can about them before you start posting.  Again readers will know if you are just winging it, and if they sense that you do not know what you are talking about they will drop your blog like a hot potato.

Learning new things is not that bad, it widens your knowledge and gives you a variety on what to blog.

So, why does blogging about popular things increases your chances for larger traffic.  Well popularity is directly proportional to followers, the more popular one thing is more followers it has.  It gives you a bigger target audience.

As I pointed out before in my other posts if you do decide to make money on your blog, what you need is traffic.  Making money out of your blog is a numbers game.  Just imagine how many people are interested in reading about Robert Pattison of Twilight(Well not me, but there are millions out there who would) than writing about your collection of bubble gum wrappers.

Writing something about popular events, things and people increases the chances of internet users stumbling about your blog in search engines like Google.  Though I still emphasize learning as much as you can about a certain topic before you start posting about them.  Your goal is not to have someone visit your site once but have a regular reader.
