While writing articles there is a must of maintaining balance between different topics that you focus on. Readers range from person to person, be sure to know what most of your readers like on your blog and make at least 5 majorities and write content based on the things they have liked on your blog like Blogging, Earn Money Online. This can help you keep all types of readers sticked to your blog. You can check what type of content your visitors like in a very easy way. 

You must be tracking your blog’s stats through Google Analytics or something similar to that. So what you do is pay close attention to the pages that have gotten the most hits and the most comments, in other words the most famous articles. That will help you know what type of content your readers like on your blog. Since there will be variation in what they like, you keep writing on different categories in a cycle or at least once in a while.

People think that writing an article everyday is a must, whereas I beleive it just varies from blog to blog. If your blog is very personal and in particular about you then you can write everyday, whine and squabble your head off telling about everything awkward you see on earth. In that case it just doesn’t matter you can say what ever you want. But if your blog is particularly a Make Money Online blog or related to Search Engine Optimization or Internet Marketing, there is no must of writing everyday. Isn’t is common sense, there are 365 days in a year, how can you come up with 365 different ideas about the category you have chosen?

Well actually you can’t (I’m not including super-normal cases here). But there is something you can do to make it just as good. If you keep blogging about Make money online, a time will come when you will run out of content, so a better approach would be to choose at least 5 categories related to your blog and write in turns for each of them, or maybe even favoring one off the other depending on the conditions.

Be sure to write at least twice a week, so that your readers don’t get the image that the blog is too much out-dated. The quality and quantity of your articles should be based upon this:

“The lesser you write, make sure the quality of the article is just as much to cover up any gap.”

The more delay you put in make sure the quality of the next article be just as good. Your articles should leave the readers asking for more, that is all that matters to help maintain a proper balance in articles.

So previously I had been talking on how to get traffic but since that is a pretty big topic, I decided to talk more about it. Since there are multiple ways of getting traffic and unfortunately all of them cannot be discussed here, but I’ll cover the important ones. I will now discuss the second branch of getting traffic which is by purchasing it.

Purchasing Traffic

Now if you’re interested in getting really targeted traffic which can be very valuable to you, then purchasing it is the best option. There are hundreds of PPC programs out there like Adsense, Bidvertiser and Adbrite, where you can specifically advertise on one of their publishers’ websites or you can choose some keywords that would range your advertisement on the websites of different publishers with the matching keywords. This is the most targeted traffic you can think of getting, except for the search engine traffic. However, this can also be quite costly depending on the Pay-per-click rate you determine to pay and moreover the keyword you pick should be famous enough to find websites the have the same keyword on it, you should also make the advertisement catchy to get the attention of people to click the ad. If you want to try this out make sure you do a search as some PPC programs are offering a start bonus, so you don’t want to miss that. If you’re still not sure what this actually is, they are those lame ads by Google on more than half of the websites you visit!

Well if you’re really crazy about getting traffic, whether that be targeted or not and have failed to get traffic from other ways which do not involve money. Then you can literally buy visitors to your website, and I mean it. The ones that I know of probably sell 1,000 visits for $20 or less, which is pretty cheap compared to PPC programs. if you’re interested in getting this cheap traffic then consult the websites that I have on my Money-makers list in the sidebar. All of them have exceptionally low rates giving visitors like you and me, staying at least for 30 seconds on the page, rest depends on the visitor. However, if you want to try this one make sure your main page is pretty catchy, enough catchy to lure the reader to read the whole page.

I beleive the least effective way of getting traffic is by buying traffic at traffic exchanges because you hardly get the number of visits you purchase. However, if you do want to try them out there is no harm in doing that. But I recommend the first and second way of purchasing traffic rather than this one. If you need help with purchasing traffic, then you can ask me more about it.

Let’s be honest how long does your computer take when you open this blog? 2 Seconds on DSL, and perhaps 15 seconds on Dial - Up. This page’s size is between 30-40 KB. But if you have a lot of Stuff on your blog and the size of your blog’s main page is more than 150 KB. You can easily expect 20% of your potential readers to not read your blog. I usually like to check some statistics of my blog, and recently I noticed that a lot of people who visit this blog do not use DSL, which means they can still visit the website with no big problems. But if the size of your blog’s pages is more than 100 KB, you can expect the Dial-up users to leave your website at once, even those using DSL may get fed-up of waiting time for the blog, and it may even crash up some old computers.

It was because of this reason I designed this blog myself, to keep it’s size as less as possible. Although I had to put some graphics on the page to keep up with the modern-age websites, I kept their size as low as possible. I have seen websites putting the crappiest things like calenders and clocks on a web-page which make the page heavy, and probably the last person on earth would make use of a blog to confirm the home time and date.  So I have some tips to keep the page’s size low:

1. Try not to put too many images on the page as that would make the page very heavy, try to optimize pictures for your blog to keep the quality of the image good with the size decreasing by a larger rate.
2. Try not to put every widget you find on the web straight to your blog, think for a second and if it is going to do good to your blog, only then put it on.
3. Make sure that banners of sponsors or other advertising are not too heavy, at a maximum 15 Kb per banner.
4. If you’re using Adobe Photoshop for images make sure you save all images using ‘Save For Web’ option, as that helps you keep the size of the image low.
5. Where possible, try to put text links instead of images.
6. If you know CSS, make sure you make good use of it while making containers with dynamic length on your blog’s pages.
7. Always try to check the size of your page once in a while and do a check on it’s loading time at Submit Express or Alexa. That will let you know if you website’s loading time is more compared to other websites.

However, I am not forcing you do take these measures on your blog’s pages. Usually the most heavy page is the main page so try to look out for that, as other pages are commonly of a lower size than that. Check if your readers are all using High-speed internet and if so then you can put as much stuff on a page as a normal high-speed internet could open in 5 seconds. The aim of this article is to let you know about potential Low-speed internet users who form a small majority on the Internet even today, and how you do not want to lose traffic.

It has been a while since I last talked about paid to click websites. I am not talking about top earners this time, since it has been a long time, I’ll just give some news of what’s been happening. I have been inactive on paid to click websites for more than 3 weeks, but still my referral earnings kept it up for me. Now that I have gotten back on paid to click websites, I am going to do some serious money-making ideas on it to speed it up.

I am also going to filter the list of paid to click websites again as they are a lot to take care of and if they’re not as good as they should be, just put them aside. As for bux.to I’m thinking of upgrading my account and getting a master card to get my payments a little quicker from them because right now payments to standard members are extremely slow. So if you still have not joined some of the paid to click websites you can find the list in the sidebar and join them.

I am sorry to keep you all waiting up here but I have been extremely busy. With life forced back into the normal routine, I’m still having troubles setting out time for other things. Plus I’ve been working on a few projects, and I almost saw the face of the blog 5 times a day but never got the time to write anything. Well let’s see what has been happening in the previous few days.

Traffic has dropped

The first thing I regretted for not writing for so long was the drop in traffic, my traffic is down by almost 30%. Of course, who would like to visit a blog with the same articles on its main page for the last 14 days. Anyways, now that it’s back up I’m hoping to tackle that problem soon.

Hold it right there you spammers!

Yes, and I mean it. It is good that I have set up some proper configuration for my comment moderation which filters comments with some black-listed words. I’m surprised to see my system hold up to 120 spam comments. Now I’m realizing that I need to get some automatic plug-in for this.

Sorry to the contest participants

The contest that I had arranged on this blog has been inactive for pretty long for the obvious reason. I have seen that many people have participated and by now must be thinking when they’re going to win something. I’m sorry for that, and since this contest couldn’t function properly at this time. I’ll hold the contest next month and as for this contest which does not exist anymore, I’ll send up 50 EC to some participants, so if you participated you do not need to feel bad.

So now I’m back to a set-up routine and I wont be experiencing problems in blogging. So I’ll let all stuff out that has been going on in my mind since a long time. I have been out of touch with a lot of money-making stuff for a while now.
