This manual came into been as a result of my research online on how to promote my blogs. Following every instruction in this manual will definitely increase the worth of your site.nigjobcentre.info
Online business becomes a new trend in the past five years. As this trend continues, increasing numbers of individuals continue to start new businesses online, such as blogs and information websites, and they invest their money, energy, and time in an attempt to improve their site traffic and search engine ranking. These website owners’ battle and labour constantly for increased numbers of subscribers, new visitors, and unique content to propel their site above their competitor’s. The reasons vary as to why they put forth so much effort into their online endeavours. Some just enjoy creating a site that promotes networking among its visitors; others enjoy creating content to expand their site’s interest to a larger subscriber base; and some others are seeking to market their services and/or products to a larger audience. There are not many bloggers who start their website with the intention of developing the blog into a business site with enough “equity” to convert into cash profit once the website is established. If you successfully develop your blog so that it has potential market value! This means that your blog has a monetary value, which means it can be sold for money
Here are 6 things you can do to increase the money value of your blog:-
1.   Keep to Your Niche:-
If you like to write about coffee, make sure all your blog post is related to coffee. Don’t jump niche and write about politics or any other trending topic instead. Keeping your content highly relevant to your main niche is the most important point. By doing this in long run, you will add more value to “coffee” niche and you may attract “coffee” niche advertisers from small to large corporation. Mix bag often don’t get high value in any niche and will keep their rate or value for all niche at average level. This makes an active blogger to limit their earning at $5-$10 per post or links.

2.   Having a Plan:-
Have a business plan from the very beginning on how you intend for your blog to make money. Explore various revenue streams to establish those that fit with your niche. You might sell products or services, sell advertising space, or market affiliate products. Develop a plan to market your “brand,” then implement that plan to make your business attractive to potential investors.

3.   Get A Domain:-
Instead of using free domain services like .blogspot.com, .wordpress.com, .co.cc, etc for your blog, try getting some unique domain name from .com or .net or .org and host it under private hosting service. Nowadays, you can get cheap hosting and reliable service at lower than $2 a month with free domain. Private domain stands a better chance of getting more advertisers comparing to free BlogSpot blogs. Most advertisers prefer to get unique domain back links as it will give them better results in SEO point of view.

4.   Keep Posting:-
Blogs that posting frequently tend to get higher ranking in Google. Google loves blogs that is frequently update their contents. Blogs with lack of updates gets lower bots crawling and lower ranking in SERP. Internet industry is about contents and you need to add more contents to make your blog shine. The more unique content you provide, the better your chance to get good ranking and traffic which will attract more visitors. Make sure not to duplicate any contents as Google may impose penalty on your blog.

5.   Socialize:-
Blogging is not just about writing contents. You need to engage in social media and bookmarking tools. This will give better exposure to your blog and it will earn some traffic too. Today’s Internet industry is conquered by social media like Face book, YouTube, Twitter, etc. It is not wise to wait for search engine to deliver you traffic. Create your profile in top social networking sites and start building friends and fans. It will eventually draw more traffic to our blog. More traffic equals to more money.

6.   Appearance:-
If you are not happy with your current blog theme or template, change it. There are tons of free word press blog templates available online with few credit links in footer. Allocate more space for advertising spots like 125×125 or other size banner, text link ads, reviews, etc. Make sure you provide contact page or email for your advertisers to contact you. This is the common mistake done by many bloggers.
Keep following above method and you will notice your Alexia, page rank, compete, etc ranking increase in time. You may not earn much money for first few months or a year. But, you will notice an increase in your earnings slowly after almost a year or more. Domain age plays important factor in back links too. So, if you can manage a blog for 5 years now. You should be able to earn more than what you have earned first or second year of blogging. Remember, blogging is an investment as you can always sell the domain or blog to any company for a lump sum of money. Or, you may enjoy earning monthly income from it. Keep you blog value up with these tips.

Reasons Why Google Ad sense Rocks


If you ask bloggers and webmasters what they think about Google Ad Sense, you’ll probably hear all sorts of answers. Some love it, some think it’s OK, and some hate it because they can’t seem to be able to make any money with it. I fall in the first group.
 Ad Sense certainly is not suitable for all types of sites, and there are other monetization strategies that can be more profitable in some situations (e.g., selling your own products). That being said, and as far as monetizing your site with ads goes, I think Ad Sense is the best advertising network on the Internet. Here’s why:

1. Its Easy to Setup and Get Started:-
Most ad networks require a minimum traffic level before you can join, and the application and setup process can be a pain.

Ad Sense, on the other hand, can be used even on small websites, and it has very few restrictions regarding where you can use it.

 2. Huge Number of Advertisers:-

Ad Sense is by far the advertising network with the largest amount of advertisers. This means that you’ll get your units filled with ads pretty much every single time a visitor comes to your site.
On many other ad networks this is not true, and your earnings tend to get negatively affected.

3. Ads Are Really Targeted:-

Most advertising networks claim to only display ads that will match the content of your site, but few actually do it.

In order to be able to display targeted ads the network must have a huge collection of ads to choose from, and most networks don’t have it.

4. You Can Monetize Global Traffic:-

Another problem with most ad networks is that they tend to focus on US traffic. Some will pay pennies for impressions coming from outside the US, and others will not pay at all. If 50% or more of your traffic comes from other countries, you can guess that you’ll be losing money.

It’s true that on Google Ad Sense you also have some advertisers targeting US traffic exclusively, but there just as many targeting visitors from other countries and parts of the world.

5. The Earnings Are Pretty Good:-

I have seen ad networks that occasionally offered very high eCPMs (i.e., how much you actually earn for each page view on your site) but on average Ad Sense tends to beat most networks.
Another advantage is that Ad Sense earnings tend to be consistent all over the year (and over the years), while the rates you’ll get from CPM networks vary both with the season and with the overall economic climate.

6. The Ads Blend Well:-

Some people don’t like text links, but I think they are actually less intrusive than flashy banner ads, and it’s possible to integrate them with the design of your website without making it look ugly.

 Some time ago Ad Sense started working with banner and video ads as well, but most of the ones you see around look very professional too.





7. Payments Are Always on Time:-

I had my share of problems trying to receive the money ad networks owed me. Sometimes they would pay 30 or 60 days late, other times they would pay only half of the money I was supposed to receive.

 With Google Ad Sense I never had a problem in this regard.
