What the Best Blogs have in Common?

Have you ever wondered about what the best blogs have in common? If you are like me then you'll have realised that they all update regularly (like this site), they are clearly written, entertaining and provide informative posts. But what may not have occurred to you is that all these blogs are self-hosted WordPress blogs.

In other words, they use WordPress software (which is Free and can be downloaded from Wordpress.Org) on their own website which can be hosted by web hosting companies such as  Dreamhost or HostGator or BlueHost (also the top web hosting providers out there - a 2nd thing that best blogs have in common - reliabled web hosting companies)  When you run a blog this one any down time = money lost, traffic lost, visitors lost, time lost (you get the point ?)

Self-Hosted, Self Managed

No Rules to Follow, NO B.S.

This is what the Best Blogs have in Common.

Check out this list of what the Advantages are of having a self-hosted WordPress blog means:

• You have complete control over your blog. It has been known for Google to shut down Blogger blogs for no apparent reason. And if you have a blog on the WordPress site (rather than on your own site), you have to allow ads on your blog (and you may not even make money from those ads so what's the point ?), unless you pay to have them taken off

If you got a blog or a website up that you update regularly and it gets a steady amount of traffic, you should start thinking about monetizing it. After all running a site or blog takes time and effort to build content, design the site, and keep it up to date.  Why not get paid for maintaining that blog with these 6 Simple Ways to Make Money with a Blog? The list below will provide you ideas on how to quickly and effortlessly monetize your blog or website and it  won't take up much of your time, so you can focus on building your site with good content and growing your traffic. These are the most basic (and arguably the least profitable) methods, but they are effective interim monetizing strategies.

As with most strategies regarding money, diversification is key. You should try a combination of these methods to maximize your earning potential (without making your site too ad heavy). Play around with your layout, if it's flexible, to give different ads more or less exposure (don't let them overshadow your content). Test a variety of networks. Make sure you are being paid accurately and in a timely manner. Monitor your performance and if you are not happy with the service or results, try another company.

6 Simple Ways to Make Money with a Blog or Website

1. PPC Ads (Pay Per Click)

Google Adsense is the most popular and widely used option. They serve contextual ads (image or text) based on your content, and pay when someone clicks on the ad. How much you make on Adsense depends on several things. First, advertisers bid on keywords, so if you happen to write about a topic that has high paying keywords, then each click will be worth a lot more than another topic with low valued keywords (keywords that has really low bids). Also, people who came to your site from search engines are more likely to click on these ads than people who are repeat visitors. It makes sense then to spread out your Adsense ads to provide easy access for search visitors.

Other PPC options include Bidvertiser and Clickbooth.

Improve your mozRank

While everyone seems to be focused on building and improving their “Google PageRank”, firms and individuals who are SEO savvy know that there are other SEO ranking tools, like mozRank, which play a huge and important role in just how well your site is performing on the search engines.

I’m not trying to say that PageRank isn’t important; it is.  But the more that you tap into also satisfying the mozRank requirements, the higher your site will rank.

How to Improve your mozRank

What is mozRank

So what is mozRank and how does it differ from Google PageRank?  Back in the day when the Internet was a bit more “fresh” and “new”, Google had a scale that would place a value on your web page between 1 and 10 based on keywords.  The 1 to 10 value played a huge role in where you ranked on Google’s “SERP” (Search Engine Result’s Page).  One of the best ways in PageRank to boost your site is through backlinks that other sites have given.  While this is still valuable to pages, the value has begun to decrease a bit.  A lot of SEO firms saw this coming when Google removed their “page rank values” option from their Webmaster Tools.

PageRank still plays an important role.  However, because many folks were frustrated with the PageRank grader being “outdated”, they started to look for more accurate rankings somewhere else. This is where mozRank came into play. MozRank is a tool created by SEOMoz, a premium SEO and page ranking site. Users like the accuracy of their mozRank score because the tool is updated regularly, giving a seemingly more “accurate” website score than PageRank, allowing users to better gauge their website’s SEO effectiveness. However, because Google does not rank pages based on mozRank, users must still do their best to balance the two.

MozRank works like this: the more incoming links a webpage has, the higher that specific mozRank will be for that page.  To make matters even more confusing, mozRank measures sites on a scale of 1 to 10 (with a measurement of 3 being the average score).

So What’s the Difference between Google PageRank & mozRank?

The difference between the two SEO Ranking Tools is how you can improve your site’s ranking.  PageRank is more dependent upon backlinks from sites with a lot of PR.  mozRank’s popularity is more based on a web page’s ability to gather links from a lot of popular pages, or a few links from very popular pages.

The other nice thing about mozRank is that you will improve in their ranking system a whole lot faster than PageRank. With just a bit of effort, you can move up from a 2 or 3 to a 4 or 5 (any higher than 5 will likely require a heck of a lot of work on your part).

One of the most important differences to take into account is that Google does not rank pages based on mozRank, whereas PageRank is their own system. This score is basically an estimation of what Google PageRank would be if it were updated regularly.

Improve your mozRank

There are quite a few things that you can do to start to improve your mozRank today.  One of them is to install the SEO MOZ Bar, or the Quick Search Status toolbar.  This free toolbar has it all – you can view your Google PageRank, Alexa popularity ranking, SEOmoz Linkscape, mozRank, and more.  You can quickly see just how well your site is doing in a click of a mouse.

Another thing that you should consider doing is creating “nofollow” outgoing or not so important links. We’ve written up a blog entry on “Nofollow” rules to help you out a bit, so check that out if you aren’t quite sure what this means. If you are using Wordpress or Joomla there are many plugins that can help you achieve this "nofollow" rule on all outgoing links.

Make full use of the SEO MOZ tools that are out there.  These free tools will give you a ton of important info about your site so that you can better tailor it for search engines.

The last important tip that I’m going to give you here, and that you should start using TODAY, is how to post a proper link.  A lot of people with websites out there think that they know how to post links properly, but they’re really selling themselves short.  Here’s how most people post links on the web:

< a href= http://www.trafficmarketingdaddy.com>Traffic Marketing Daddy</a>

What’s wrong with this, you say?  Nothing, except it’s not a quality link.  So let’s take that link above and optimize it so you get the most out of it:

< a href=  http://www.trafficmarketingdaddy.com/title=”your-keyword”>Your Keyword</a>

Spot the difference?  If you said, “A title attribute!” then you’d be correct. That title attribute strengthens up your link by bringing focus to what the link is about.  A keyword tells search engines a heck of a lot more about what the page you’ve created is about then just having your company name or product name in the title.

How Do I Find My MozRank?

You can check your MozRank by visiting either Website Grader or Blog Grader.  Both websites offer an analysis of your website or blog’s strengths and weaknesses and offer suggestions for improvements.

Twitter ads just keep getting better. When they first launched their offering was pretty skimpy, but it’s really grown into a useful ad platform. There are a few tricks to it though, and this post should give you enough to get started Launching Twitter Ad Campaigns with confidence.

Launching Twitter Ad Campaigns

 Service Options for Twitter Ads

You have two service options for Twitter ads. Self Service (best for small to mid-sized businesses), and Full Service. Honestly the differences seem to be minimal except that with full service you get a dedicated ad specialist from Twitter to help you fine-tune your campaign. If you have experience running ads on other platforms you’ll probably do fine, though there are some weirdnesses that are specific to Twitter.

Promoted Profile Ads

Trying to build your Twitter following with real followers? Promoting your profile to people interested in the same things you are is a good way to be found. Your account will be promoted in search results for related keywords in the “Who to follow” section of Twitter and a “Promoted” designation shows next to your user name

Adwords Keyword Planner Replaces Adwords Keyword Tool

Keywords are the foundation of search engine optimization. They’re what searchers type into Google’s search box, and what marketers incorporate into their web pages to attract searchers to their sites. Google recently launched a new tool that changes the way we research keywords:AdWords Keyword Planner.

Intended for use by paid search marketers, the Keyword Planner replaces the AdWords Keyword Tool we’ve often recommended using and merges it with the AdWords Traffic Estimator. In essence, the Keyword Planner is designed to simplify keyword research and campaign planning for paid search marketers.

New Features of the Keyword Planner

Despite its AdWords focus, the Keyword Planner can still be used by SEO professionals. The core of the toolset revolves around keyword volume, a measure central to both paid and organic search.

For those familiar with the Keyword Tool, the new interface will take some getting used to. Where the Keyword Tool offered a single interface to accept keywords and return keyword data, the Keyword Planner gives marketers three choices, as follows.

How to add Footer Widgets to Any Wordpress Theme

I wanted to use widgets in the footer of my WordPress theme but my wordpress theme didn’t come with a footer-sidebar by default. I didn’t really wanted to change the theme just because of that. So I hacked the wordpress theme to introduce footer-sidebars. If you are looking for a tutorial that explains how you can add sidebars/widgets to the footer of your WordPress theme then keep reading.



There are really three main parts to introducing a footer sidebar/widget area in your theme:

1. Registering the Sidebar(s) in the WordPress Theme


2. Inserting the Sidebars In the WordPress Theme


3. Putting some style into the sidebars

WordPress has introduced a few new functions recently which makes it hard to write one tutorial that will cater for every theme out there. I have broken this tutorial into smaller sections to cater for the various different themes.

11 Ways to Promote a Blog Post

Note: please be careful in using these techniques. Don’t use them all with every post you write. Choose your best posts and promote them selectively, in ways that are helpful to other people.

1. Pitching to Other Blogger

Ask another blogger to consider linking to your post. There’s a real art to this; read more on how to do it at 11 Ways to Increase Your Chances of Being Linked to By a Blogger.

2. Social Messaging

what social networks like Twitter and Facebook are you registered with? Attempt to leverage these to promote your post. The key is not to incessantly spam your followers and friends with your link, but use your network to seed the link and let your followers spread word of it for you. This won’t happen every time but as your network grows, it can become more and more powerful. Consider using powerful Social Media Tools like Hootsuite which will help manage multiple networks and you schedule your messages to go out to all of your social media networks with just one click.

3. Social Bookmarking

Promoting selective links on sites like Digg or StumbleUpon can lead to amazing results.

PPC 101 - Introduction to Pay Per Click Marketing Part I

PPC 101 – Introduction to Pay Per Click Marketing – Part 1

This post is part of a 2 series blog post about the Basics of Pay Per Click Marketing. In this post I will discuss the basics of PPC and how to prepare for your first campaign. PPC 101 Part 2 will be about practical aspects and touch some slightly more advanced topics. When I first started out in PPC (Pay Per Click Marketing) I knew little about this industry. I had this rough idea that PPC ads were these little yellow text ads on top of Google’s search results. When I searched for something like “buy MacBook Pro in London” I was immediately shown a few ads which were offering exactly what I was looking for. Another thing I knew is that every time I clicked on an ad Google would make money from it. Actually, a whopping 96% of Google’s revenue came from advertising in 2011. As I learned more about PPC I saw that there is much more to it than most people think. Paid Search is a very complex area of marketing, which is also quite competitive. Most retail brands already use PPC in one way or the other – either by themselves or through affiliates. If you have your own website, online shop, plan on starting one, or if you just want to learn the basics of PPC, than the following will be especially interesting for you. Before starting to set-up your first campaign you have to know a few basics, which will help you to understand how the whole process of creating and managing a PPC account really works.

PPC is Not Just About Google

One thing you need to know first: Google is not the only search engine, which provides PPC advertising services. In fact, every single search engine does it! Besides Google AdWords, there is Bing (Microsoft) adCenter, Yandex Direct (Russia) and Baidu Paid Search (China) amongst many others.

Top 10 Reasons to have an Ezine (Email Newsletter)

Top 10 Reasons to Have an Ezine

Establish yourself as a trusted expert. People search online for information and will look to you, as a subject matter expert, to provide it to them. Every week (or whatever schedule works) provides an opportunity to build on this, while reinforcing your brand.

Build a relationship with the people on your list. It's common knowledge that people like to buy from people they like. By using ezines to connect with readers in their homes, you can develop a relationship of familiarity and trust. Be sure to share a little about yourself or your company in every issue, whether it is an anecdote, event, or employee spotlight.

Keep in touch with prospects and clients. Consideration should be given to eventually developing two ezines: one for prospects and one for clients, as each require different information. This is a great way to notify your readers of weekly specials or upcoming product launches, offer new articles or customer stories, and provide links (or urls) to updated FAQs, blogs and splash pages.

Drive traffic to your website or blog. As noted in #3, remember to call attention to new blog posts or other changes to your website with links directly to those pages. Remind readers of your online newsletter archives. Promote special sales (maybe with discount coupon codes only for subscribers) with a link to the sales page. Use links to turn your ezines and newsletters into 'silent salespersons'– driving traffic to your website and building your lists around the clock.

26 Tips to Create a Strong Social Media Content Strategy

Are you looking for ways to strengthen the impact of the content you create? It isn’t always easy to generate the buzz you’re looking for.  Knowing what to publish, when and where can greatly increase the visibility and reach of your content.

In this article, you will find 26 topics, an A-Z guide, with key points that will help you create a social media content strategy that resonates with your audience.

#1: Align Content Development With Social Media Metrics and Goals

Understand the goals of your company’s social media content delivery to help you develop a more attainable strategy. Jason DeMers suggests, “First you need to know what to measure. The end goals dictate the measurement metric.”

He offers metrics for four social media goals:

• If you’re looking to generate traffic, your metric should be: unique visitors from social websites where you’ve run your social media campaigns.


• If you’re looking to create a following, your metric should be: subscribers, followers on your social channels (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).


• If you’re looking to generate interaction, your metric should be: quantity and type of commentary (Facebook comments, Twitter replies/mentions).


• If you’re looking to generate revenue (which is the ultimate purpose), your metric should be: the precise dollar value of every lead a social post generates.

Keep this information in mind when crafting your social media content.

Twitter Money Tips - Don't Leave Twitter Money on the table

To begin to understand Twitter money making strategy, it is probably helpful to understand a few fundamental things about Twitter. You might want to read some of these Twitter Money tips before you leave Twitter money on the table.

First, anyone can open a Twitter account for free just by going to Twitter.com and signing up. If you have any interest in making money using Twitter then you should definitely consider choosing your profile name with that intention in mind. Fancy and cute should not be your focus if you intend to use Twitter in your business.

One of the things that I am still struggling with in my Internet marketing career is not having a branding strategy in mind. What I mean by that is simply, how can I add each little piece to my overall business so that each one can be integrated at any time and be complimentary and consistent with my message.

This seems so far removed from your goals at the beginning...How can I make money, how can I sell something, what product or service should I sell, who should I listen to... It's a whole other topic for another time but it simply bears mentioning in your initial Twitter money making strategy.

However you have come to arrive at this blog post it is most likely because you have asked the question  “How do I install Prosper202 on my server.”  You are probably are interested in Prosper202 as you have heard that it is an affordable way to keep tracking of affiliate campaigns, an alternative to CPVLab, which if you had the money to invest it is a better more professional solution than Prosper202. But anyway this post is about Prosper 202 which I have been using for a few years now and have installed it on numerous servers without any trouble, but I can see where someone who is not experienced in setting up a database or using an FTP client could get confused.

So, I am going to explain the entire installation process from download to setup. This should answer many of the common questions that come up while installing Prosper202, but if you get to the end and you still are unsure do not hesitate to ask in the comments below.
