100 Ways to Get More Traffic to Your Blog
Ok, this article beats the heck out of my post (69 ways to boost web exposure).
9 Lies Of Website Sales - Have You Been Fooled?
Selling blogs has been a very hot trend nowadays, just take a look at CareerRamblings, sold for $20,000 and NetBusinessBlog being sold for $13,000. After seeing those figures, tons of people started selling their own blogs too. Although some were a little tricky:
1. They say: “This site has been under-monetized”
Meaning: “I have no idea how to make money with this site”2. They say: “The MyBlogLog community has over 1000 members”
Meaning: “The site’s traffic isn’t worth talking about so I’ll try and distract you with meaningless large numbers”…

Some Bad Data On Removing Ads From 45n5
Mark has removed ads from his blog (resulting to 0 income) but did no good effect at all, in fact it decreased his traffic!
Geesh, what a bummer, no earnings and less traffic?
Although I’m pretty sure Mark has done something wrong with his blog or maybe because the traffic he got a week or two ago was from his great linkbait the “top 100 make money online blogs” and when the posts came down from other blogs, his traffic also declined. I’m sure Mark can solve this out!
ProBlogger Community Blog Consulting
Darren Rowse always generates the best ideas!
The idea is that later today (in the next post) I’m going to post a link to a blog of a ProBlogger reader that has asked for some help (I’ve got their permission to do this).
In posting this link I’m not going to give any initial advice or tips or critique - I’m simply going to post a link, a screen shot and a few words from the blogger who is asking for help.
Then I’m going to throw the consulting work over to you the ProBlogger readership. In a sense it’s a type of case study or workshop.
Your job is to give advice, tips and constructive critique to the blogger. I’ll give you a few areas that you might want to divide your advice into.
Well, that’s all for now. I’d spread the anthrax next time! :twisted:

Sweet Links and great read for all of them.

Thanks for the shout-out Carl.
On the “46 things to do…” post I would have to personally disagree with a few points made though.
First off, it doesn’t take 6 months to get noticed by search engines. I rank well for things I write on within a month. It goes up and down with blogs, but with stationary niche sites… I get comfortably on Google’s 1st page way, way before 6 months.
It’s just all about using basic SEO and being unique in a market that isn’t completely over saturated.
Also, the point on writers and saying a 1 man army rarely succeeds I disagree with. If you are a good writer, or you have opinion and / or knowledge you can succeed. You get what you put in, there’s no people count limit to success. The top blogs are 1 man army’s and most middle blogs are to.
Some people use guest writers I know but I think with enough persistence, effort and quality, there’s no stopping you.
I was speaking as a blog network… not as a blogger on a single blog or even a few blogs… but a blog network that includes dozens if not hundreds of blogs.
Hi!
Problogger.net was the first blog we’ve ever read. Darren Rowse still dishes out great advices and tips. :D
I want to earn money online through blogging. I am very depressed by my present stage. I need money and i want to work for it. Suggestions are highly appreciated
Hello Haspreet
We’re all on the same boat. :)Please don’t get discouraged by temporary setbacks. Carlocab.com started the same way as us. You wanna take a look at it 7 months past? Here. This blog didn’t became a success overnight.
Carl made it what it is today through hard work and determination (okay, add some fancy footwork in the background :))So keep on blogging. In time you’ll find you niche or they’ll find you.
Carl,
Great article!
Always interesting to see what John Chow is up to. However, he really seems to be selling out, it will be interesting to see if there is any kickback from this.
Haspreet. The worst thing you can do is sit around pondering and saying you will do it.
My suggestion is, get a hosting account. If you don’t know about web design and what not. Learn. And start building websites and blogs. Write about what you love and never give up.
And try and make progress every day. Apart from that you will learn things as you go on.
Hi,
Im new here in blogging, but the best thing about this is communication with other people. What I thought about this making money in the internet will help several people communicate and earn. We are living in an information age, and helping other people earn in the net is a big blessing.
Wow, awesome job! I sure can get a few tips from here. Cheers.
