Hi I actually started blogging a long time ago but before this, I'm not really serious. So I didnt really learn much about blogging, I just posted 1 or 2 things then just left the blog without doing anything else. But now it's different. I want to learn more about blogging. I created a new blog today with the title : Download and Streaming Links Website I put some code in my blog that give me a lil money when people visited it, but dont really know how it works. I just put the code today to test. Obviously I need thousands of visitors for me to at least earn $1. So how can I get many visitors?My main point of the blog is to post links to download and streaming site of various shows. Can you guys help me out?My main reason of why I left blogging after posting 1 or 2 things is because I dont think people visited my blog at all
Build on your content and quality content on an organized and periodic approach and as time progress you will continue to receive more visitors. cheers Josh
How do I do that?As I already stated, I'm new to blogging so I dont really know how to organise blog's post, how to make a specific category etc
Starting a new website is like opening a new store. You need content (posts) to approach the customers. Then you need to promote your website for them to know you exist. Add your website to search engine, promote your post in Social Network i.e Facebook, Twitter, etc.
You need to get the balance right when you first start a blog. Think of it like this, if you spend all your time writing content for your blog, ok great you have lots of good content, but How will anyone know your blog even exists, but you could also go to far the other way, spending all your time promoting your blog will bring you a decent amount of visitors, but why would they want to stay or return to your blog if there is not content. So once you have found that balance, try and aim to post one new blogpost everyday, and spend the rest promoting, there are many ways in which you can promote your blog, as mentioned before social networking is a good place to start, tell all your friends about the blog, and ask them to tell there friends and so on and so forth, this will bring you the first few visits to your blog, you can then go on and try the other ways, I recommend you try article marketing, spend some time writing some article, maybe 5-8 for now and post them to as many article directories as possible, here is a google search for you. http://goo.gl/PZYge Submit your blog to blog directories to help get some extra few visits, site like del.ic.ous and technorati and digg are all great for increasing traffic. You are right you will need alot of visits to generate $1, if you are looking to make money from your blog I would suggest other methods rather than the waiting to visit your blog, when i clicked the link to the blog as soon as that came up i wanted to close it, this will loose you many visitors. I would remove that and try other methods like Google adsense for example.
Thanks for all the tips! I dont know how to use google adsense though. How to add my blog to search engine?I thought this is done automatically when I made my blog? edit : just realize that to make an account on google adsense, you need to fill in street address. Other than able to get paid through paypal, I really cant sign up for something like this.
Have you submitted your blog to some search engines, if not that is a good place to begin. Type in google "submit my blog for free" and you will get quite a few places to submit it to. You say your area (also known as your NICHE) is health and wellbeing, what do you actually offer write, down what your business services are and you will have the beginnings of your keyword research. For example if one of your services is meditation what type of meditation do you offer, this name is 1 on your keywords. By using "adwords.google" (type that phase in google & u will get the url) you can put in your keyword and this program will give you more ideas of keywords to use in your blog postings and other marketing methods. Keep a list of your keywords it comes in handy. Your blog have you already decided on your blog domain name, if not then from your keyword research decide on a name that reflects your business. However if you already have your domain name thats not a problem, just focus on your blog posting. Post often and provide great content. Each post you do needs to be keyword targeted also, this is what the search engines love. It does not matter if you use blogger or wordpress its what's comfortable for you, both are loved my google if used corectly and often.
I type in adwords.google and sign in. But it seems that I need to pay in order to start putting in keywords? This will only happen if I pay to put keywords in search engine?
