    Got a blog, got some decent content on there, and i THINK the design is pretty nice as well... it is at a really good niche too.

    I managed to get quite some visitors, in my first month and managed to make $12 (From sub 20 clicks) this was from doing absolutely nothing, and just one ad on the right side of the blog.

    What can I do to get my blog out there? Do I need to be building links? Where doI get these links from? Or do I need SEO?

    I am just confused, think I have a nice niche of a blog, just don't know how to advertise, and get it out there ?

    Please help Much appreciated.

    Do both SEO and some see of you can get some links on related websites. You should try and search the forum, there are lots of threads with good ideas on how to promote your blog.

    Good luck:)

    Hi there, is it possible to do the following ? Basically, I make a blog post about a certain site, then go to that sites wikipedia page, and alter the Reference section and add my blog post link there?

    Can references be edited?

    You should be doing the basic stuffs like article submission, social bookmarking, link exchange, and also using signature on forums like this to promote your site.

    SEO is very important for your website. You have to do on site SEO and off site SEO.

    Off site SEO is building back links which i'm an expert at. That is your website will gradually climb the SERP - search engine ranking position & eventually get more organic traffic. Thus, more clicks which is equal to more money from PPC programs.

    Building links is an ongoing thing to do when you have a website and you will be able to compete with other websites having same niche. If you top Google for your keyword/s then you will get 50% of the traffic looking for the information your website has.

    Imagine a keyword which is searched 10 000 times a day in Google.com and your website is on first page (top position in search engines) for this keyword. It is same as 5000 visits to your website per day. That's why SEO is very important if you really intend to be a top notch webmaster of course :)

    Hope this helps you.

    Regards,
    Jim Karter SEO

    Start visiting some of the blogs that are in the same niche as yours, and leave comments.

    Add your link in your signatures in forums that you participate in.

    Tell a few friends, and ask them to tell other friends, and so on.

    Submit your articles to Digg (if they are Digg worthy), StumbleUpon...

    SEO is an endless process. Even if you get 1. st spot for your keywords, you need to keep going or your competitors will steal it from you. It's learn, do, learn do...it never stops:)

    The more you learn the better results!
