Content is king, advertising pays for it. Ad networks are a great way to increase passive income from your site. You want a network or combination of networks that will fit into your site. You also want to have something that is designed well and uses relevant links to gain more conversions. Here are some contenders in the advertising network market.

1. Google Adsense

Adsense is the two ton gorilla sitting in the middle of the room. Everywhere you turn, you can see Adsense ads. Sometimes they rest on the sides of posts, sometimes in the middle, sometimes down on the bottom, but they are everywhere. They are easy to join and have a contextual ad for just about everything. The unfortunate part about Google Adsense is that it is everywhere, and people are becoming blind to the text boxes that advertise their wares.

5 Ways to Attract Readers to Your Blog

Your blogging enthusiasm will always be from your avid readers. Readers of your blog is very important because they boost your spirit in blogging. They are also they key to make money online. A reader of your blog is one of the most important things you need to think of when you’re starting up a blog.

So, how to get some readers? Well, based on my own experience in blogging within one and a half year, I have formulated five ways to attract readers to your blog

1. No good content, no readers. Of course, no one will read or even just visit your blog if you just right nothing but a piece of crap. Create more competitive blog posts. Write a blog post that will help others (like some guides, tutorials or a blog post something like this post you are reading). You must consider developing your writing skills because it is your power to enrich your blog’s content.

2. Be the Social Media King. Almost everybody who uses the web may also uses social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. And that means, you can grab those people in social networking sites to be your readers. How? Just be active in social networking sites. Be friendly. Build your online identity and eventually, a very nice reputation. By these, whenever you post an update on your status saying that you got a new
blog post, then your followers will definitely try to read or visit your blog.

3. Expand your online activity. Don’t stick in to one social networking sites. Create more. Don’t stick to one blog. Build another one. Just like what I did. Tumblr is a great blogging platform with a very friendly user interface. In Tumblr, it’s like blogging with social networking. And by that, you just don’t blog but you also socialize virtually with other people. And that’s what you call expanding your online activity.

Photo Blogging 101 | Kelvinonian Ideas 2.0

While preparing for my speaking engagement for Blog World Philippines 2010, I managed to create some do’s and don’ts in photo blogging. I created this to remind newbie bloggers who are about to enter the photo blogging world that there are blogging etiquettes that they need to follow. And these reminders are focused on our blog’s reader convenience.

So, here are the Do’s and Don’ts in Photo Blogging:

Do’s…

1. Take pictures frequently – of course, pictures are your main content of your blog. It is the basic ingredient to build a photo blog. It is the most important of all because it is the essence of a blog being called a “photo blog”. So, you need to take pictures frequently so you’ll have something to post.
2. Add watermark on every photo - the world wide web is a huge place, meaning, there are lots of people who may visit your blog. And some of your visitors may have some evil minds, grabbing your photos without any permissions, and worst, use it for commercial use. So one of the best thing you can do to prevent the stealing of your precious pictures is to put watermarks on it. Watermark is your name or trademark or brand name that is written in your photos. Like mine, I put © Kelvin Servigon | Photography in my pictures before publishing them online.
