Blogging for Profit and Traffic
By: Pete Nisbet
Blogging for profit involves specific knowledge of how to make
money online, although if you are only blogging for traffic then you
are guaranteed that if you link your website to your blog.
In order to blog for profit, or to make money in other words, you
need to understand the principles of Google Adsense, a selling
advertising space on your blog and affiliate marketing. You could
also advertise your products on your blog if you have any to sell,
but you will likely be doing the selling from your website and that is
another technique altogether.
Before discussing ways in which you can use your blog to make
money, let’s first discuss your blog, and where you are operating it
from. If your blog is a Blogger or Wordpress blog hosted by either
of these two, then your options are very limited when compared to
uploading your own blogging software from wordpress.org. If you
are serious about blogging for money then you should do so from
your own website. (continued below ...)

You will need that to run Wordpress from your website. The
reason that Wordpress is recommended is that it is the best
blogging software online if you have your own website. If you do
not, then many people prefer Blogger, although others still use
Wordpress from the Wordpress.com site.
I will not go further into this because it is not the object of this
article, which is to recommend ways of making money from a
blog. First register with Google Adsense. Enter that into your
browser and follow all of the instructions. You will be able to offer
adverts on your blog, and will be paid every time somebody clicks
on an advert. They don’t have to buy anything, just click on the
advert.
You should place your Adsense blocks somewhere on your
sidebar, and also at the bottom of your blog so that when people
have finished reading they have something to click on. If your
reader reaches the end of your article, page of blog, it means that
are interested in what are writing, otherwise they would have left
and clicked on to somewhere else.
If you have nothing at the end of the post or the page, then people
will feel somewhat let down. If you provide them with something
to do, even just to click on an advert that interests them, then that
is what they are liable to do. The theme of the adverts are
determined by the Google contextual algorithm often called LSI,
that determines the theme of your content through the vocabulary
that you use in it.
You can also offer affiliate links on your blog: links to products
being sold by others whereby you get a proportion of the sales
price for each sales (frequently 50%). You can find lots of affiliate
products to sell on Clickbank.com. or simply by entering the term
into your favourite search engine. These links can take the form
of banner ads, text links or clickable logo, and you can place
them anywhere on your blog.
This applies predominantly for blogs run from your own website,
where you have total editing over the html of the various
components of your blog: the stylesheet that controls each
complete page, the headers, footers, sidebars and everything
else that makes up your blog. You do not have this degree of
control over a hosted blog. If you want to use your blog to make
real money, then it is necessary to have your blog on your own
website rather than on a blog host such as Bloggit or Wordpress.

There are other ways in which to use your blog to make money,
and blogging for profit and traffic is a combination of many
sources of income and traffic generation techniques. Once you
understand how to use these, you will find your blog a lot more
useful than just a simple website.
