Be Careful With Blogger Blogs – Especially New Ones

I had some rather interesting experiences with Google lately, and this may be a bit of a rant but it is also very much a warning about creating blogs on Google properties.

I created a weight loss blog on Blogger in March of this year.  I really wanted to talk about my experiences with weight loss, and share some of my experiences.  I also wanted to add some links to a program that I was using that produced some pretty good results for me.

I lost my freelancing job in June, and I totally panicked about what I would do for an income.  I started feverishly building backlinks to the Blogger blog, and you will never guess what happened… 2900 visitors in June, and then all of the keywords that I was ranking for suddenly vanished for a month.  My URL was still in Google’s index, but no rankings for any of the keywords that I was on the first page for previously.

I thought that this was the famed Google Dance, so I kept building, only more slow and cautiously, and again in July another 30 days no keywords or rankings.

Finally a few days ago, Google released my blog back into the index, and I was back on the front page for many of my keywords.  Feeling happy and confident that I would start to make some money, I started writing many articles for EzineArticles with links back to the blog.

Wanna guess what happened tonight as I was adding some blog posts to my Blogger blog???

The Google Spambot came along and zapped my blog sending me into a real tailspin.  I also got a nasty email from them stating that they have reviewed my blog for SPAM, yes…all caps…

I sent in a request to Google that they review and reinstate it, and I am pretty sure that it will happen for me since I did write long posts about my actual experiences.

So, my warning to you is to not link to your products in every post, and remove some of the advertising if your Blogger blog has a lot of them.   Keyword optimization is another factor that you will want to look at.  Don’t over optimize or it may trigger the spam filters.

Take your time with link building especially if the blog is new.  My advice is to write at least a few weeks worth of content before you try monetizing a Blogger blog, because as we all know….Google is watching…

a-plus-teacherWhen I think of my first successes as an affiliate marketer, I think of the free Bum Marketing eBook I received several years ago from Travis Sago.  If you want to learn how to get started with article marketing, I highly recommend it.

The man behind the ebook is a kind, giving person who isn’t always trying to sell you something at every turn, and who actually takes the time out to respond to you when you contact him.

His ProjectMom is a wonderful idea to set up a Clickbank account and have checks sent directly to his mother.  I think it’s a fantastic idea, and I am following along too, maybe I can send my mom some big checks too!

So join me, and follow along with Travis and his wife Jeannie as they set up a blog, drive traffic to it, and generate lots of sales.  This should be a great project for beginners, and affiliates who want a little extra motivation.   The best part of it is that it’s free, so click here to sign up for ProjectMom now!

More Blogging…More Traffic, But What About Sales?!?

blogging-crisisI know that this might sound really silly to most bloggers, but I am in the middle of a blogging crisis.  I have several niche blogs, and they are totally getting traffic with no sales.  Many of them I have redesigned over and over again, which in the eyes of the search engines can be a big no-no.

I have been dinged over the head several times for trying to go from website to blog, and blog to super blog.  So it’s not always a good idea to total revamp your blog too often.

And I wonder too if people really get blogs, especially the free WordPress themed blogs that can be kinda rough around the edges.  I wonder if people are looking for some type of information that is not appearing in the widgets sidebar.  I am not ready to pay for a WordPress theme just yet.   And maybe I am just overthinking the whole blog design thing.  How much can it matter, right?

You name the mistake, I have made it!  Mistakes can be good though,as they are often humbling, and I am sure other marketers have taken time out to laugh and point, but that’s ok too.   As long as I keep trying I will get there.  You will too!

That is key to remember if you are running into problems in your niche marketing efforts.  It’s ok to make mistakes and learn from them.  Just remember to learn from them.  That’s the important part.

Here are some tips that I have learned from my blogging catastrophes.  These methods seem to work for me, maybe they will work for you too.  :)

With blogs, it seems that the more good, useful content you can post, the better.  That makes a lot of sense because the more content your blog has, the more keywords your blog will rank for in the search engines.

If you are running into my scenario of getting great traffic and no sales, try keeping your customer in mind.  What are they looking for?  How can you help them find a solution?  Remember not to write for the search engines, appeal to your audience.

(I can’t tell you how many times I have banged my head up against this wall.  I am much more successful when I speak to my visitors, not at them.)

Another thing I have learned is to not have a thousand things going at once.  I have been so guilty of building one niche blog after the other, because I get bored so quickly.  Looking back, I should have completed each project, and built sufficient backlinks before moving onto the next project.

The really successful bloggers start a project and develop it before moving on to the next hot thing.  So, if you are finding yourself in a blogging crisis like me, take comfort in knowing that you are not alone.  There are simple things that you can focus on that can help you right back out of it.

Blog Internet Marketing – The Best Kept Secret For A Real Money Making Blog

Blog Internet Marketing – Making A Living With Your Blog

One of my favorite bloggers simply because of her willingness to scope out Google Trends is Paula Neal Mooney.  She follows her own set of rules, uses headings on all of her posts, and can write about everything with zeal.  She makes mad money online, and thanks Jesus at every turn.  Smart and grateful to the Divine, a winning combination in my opinion.

I think that there is a lot to learn about blog internet marketing from bloggers who stay true to themselves and give us all a glimpse of who they really are.  I don’t think it really matters what products you are trying to sell, or even if you have the “right” keywords.  If you blog from your own experiences and unique point of view, you are bound to attract readers.

This is the very reason that splogs always fall by the wayside.  It is also why automated blogs with rehashed content don’t make a lot of money.  People are searching for that connection.  Keywords only attract visitors to your blog from outside sources, they don’t keep a reader’s eyes on your blog.

Blog internet marketing is giving it your own unique spin.  So if you are thinking about really making money online, consider adding your own unique flair, and perspective, I can assure you that you will start earning money for who you are and the experience will be much more rewarding for everyone involved.
