A Money-Making Blog Components
Written by wowo on August 15, 2008 – 8:21 am -
A blog that is set-up for making money on the Internet works differently than blog that are set-up for fun.
One thing for sure is that when profit is the word, you need to do these 5 things differently:
1. Keyword Research
If you just want to blog for fun you can write about anything you want.
But if you’re blogging for profit, you need to research a list of keywords and build a list of it that you want to target for the search engines.
You’ll be able to use the free keyword research tools here:

2. On-Site Search Engine Optimization
SEO is definitely important for getting more traffic from Google and other search engines.
The good news is that with Wordpress, all you need to do to drastically improve your SEO is to download the right plugins and do minor tweaks with them.
Each post your wirte must focus on getting ranked for the keywords, while maintaining a good, read-able article.
3. Off-Site Search Engine Optimization
You must get as many links as possible to your blog.
But links alone are not enough. The links themselves must use an “anchor text” based on your list of keywords and you’ll need to get a variety of links:
a) Reciprocal link exchange (least effective)
b) 3-Way Link Exchange (more effective)
c) Pure one-way links (most effective)
Of the three, getting one-way links are the most difficult but you can do that by submitting articles to this site:

4. Mini-Blogs Vs Large Blogs
You don’t need a huge blog like TechCrunch.com to be able to make profits.
In fact, most people build “mini” Wordpress blogs. What this means is that instead of blogging continuously for the rest of their lives, they create a blog that focuses on a very, very small niche topic.
Then, they determine the number of posts or articles they need to write. They then write those articles, and convert their Wordpress blog into a “site” using the “static front page” option in Wordpress.
Now instead of a blog that you need to stick with daily, you can move on to a different niche market and create a blog there.
All that’s left with the first blog is to continuously build more links to it and get more traffic.
Maybe one day you can come back and add more articles to the first blog, but one thing’s for sure this tactic works.
Wordpress is a blog platform, but it can also work like a normal site if you know how to do it.
5. Having an Exit Strategy
Ok so you built your blog, you got 1000 RSS subscribers but now you’re sick of it.
The worst thing you can do is to continue blogging after you’ve lost interest in the topic.
So you need an exist strategy. You can either:
a) Convert the blog into a static site and enjoy the residual income but stop writing new posts
b) Demolish the blog and redirect all traffic to your other site using a 403 redirect.
c) Sell the blog on popular marketplaces like at:

Its imperative to wean out modes of eaarning revenue even from blogs.
July 21st, 2010 at 6:09 pm
That blogs could prove a mode of earning revenue is in itself a remarkable feat.
July 22nd, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Considering that blogging is essentially a creative enterprise, that it has money making potential is a singular concept.
