Setting Up Your Blog
Making AdSense Money with your blog
Setting Up Your Blog Bill Skywalker Edwards
Blogging is a lucrative source of profit and blogs are easy to set up and maintain. Imagine a life where you are paid to write on stuff that interests you, whenever you want, wherever you are. The mere flexibility of blogging makes it easy for you to just kick back, relax and go on a vacation whenever you feel like it.
In this article, we are going to look into the profitability of a blog and how to set up a blog of our own at no cost! Also I will talk about hosting your own blog for a few dollars a month and get better results.
First, we need to obtain a blog. There are several options – host a blog on your own domain or get a free blog. For starters, let’s talk about the free blogs. You can obtain a free blog at www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) www.wordpress.com. If you are a techie, you must have heard of Wordpress, a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable (read money maker).
Blogger.com is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected on Google’s radar faster and you will be indexed faster. Wordpress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, Wordpress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks, Categories, and plugins. You can have a plugin for your adsense, and one for your amazon account. Plus you can get a plutin that will automaticlly add content to your blog. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).
I recommend using the best of both worlds. Get a free blog from blobber.com. Post to it and get it indexed by google, then set up your own wordpress blog. Put links to your wordpress blog in your blogger.com blog.
Setting up your wordpress blog is easy, easy, easy. Just go to your cpanel and click on “Fantastico” a few more clicks later and it’s a done deal!
Get a free blog at either Blogger.com (http://www.blogger.com/signup.g) or Wordpress (http://wordpress.com/signup/). Then, familiarize yourself by posting your first post on your blog and tinkering around with the options and templates.
Here are a few common “blog-related” words to help you out:
1) Permalink – Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (uniform resource locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog. 2) Trackback – When you post about someone else’s blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their “trackback” section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger.com account. 3) Pinging – Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to gaining traffic, which we shall discuss later.
