A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about Follow Friday.  Just to recap, Follow Friday is a movement that started on Twitter in January by @micah.  The way it works is that you send a tweetto your followers and recommend to them some people that they should be following.  I do not want into how it works on this post, I instead want to offer a bit of commentary.  I have been reading a lot of posts about...

Most of the blogs that I follow are doing something to try to monetize their blogs. Most are using adsense or affiliate marketing programs. Some are selling direct advertising, and others are involved in advertising networks like Entrecard or CMF ads. A majority of the bloggers are missing out on what I see as the best opportunity to make money from your blog; Selling Services. Most bloggers choose to specialize...

So you kick up Google Analytics, as I do nearly every day, and take a look at the myriad of stats provided to you. You get visits, pageviews, time on site, etc., all with pretty straightforward meanings. But what about bounce rate?

Last month, I mentioned that I was going to try Adgitize out, what a waste! Bottom line, do not even bother. As you all know, I am active in the EntreCard community but that may be coming to a close. I wrote a post a couple of weeks back about the paid ads system and how much of a mess it was. The latest blunder of the juvenille management team is that they are now censoring the forum.  They are only allowing...

This is a guest post from Damien Riley, if you are interested in guest posting, contact Tycoon Blogger.       A friend of mine said “PR is worth more than traffic right now.”  Ironically many advertisers look primarily at PR even when traffic is low.  But PR is fickle and many say about to be replaced with “transparency.”   If my PR changes, the same tested goals apply of seeking...

I have nothing against ProBlogger , John Chow or ShoeMoney.  Alright, if I am being honest I think ProBlogger is solid but I can not stand John Chow and ShoeMoney.I am sick of seeing their names on every single top blogger list. I do check them out from time to time, but I prefer to read other blogs more. I decided to write my own personal Top Ten blogger list. These are the bloggers I like and who I feel are...

We all know that becoming a successful blogger is hard work.  What is it that separates the amateurs from the pros.  It could be writing ability, marketing ability, dedication or a variety of other factors.  What I have found is that the most successful bloggers share many similar traits and have developed many similar habits.  I have compiled a list of the top 25 habits/traits of successful bloggers. ...

Another great tip from my guest poster Kai Lo, who blogs about how to get traffic to your blog and has other great tips about to How To Rank Number One On Google   Is it possible to be on first page of Google with PR 0? Certainly. You just need to know the right information to make it happen. You can’t beat top competitors on single keywords like “money” and “seo”, but if you make a keyphrase like...
