Less Options Equal More Click II

A couple of weeks ago I brought up the idea that if I could decrease the clutter on my pages and only have one or two ads up on a page that I could increase my CTR for those pages. Ryan also noted that with this idea I should see an increase in the CPC […]

Less Options Equal More Clicks?

I would bet that if you changed the format to allow the google ads to be placed ” in ” the content/articles, that your AdSense revenues would increase. The fact that they are located below the content allows the reader to look away as son as he/she finishes the article…

Thinking Big

Most people I have met wish to become successful in their lifetime. To each one, success has its own connotation. One person may just want to live comfortably, while another is looking for millions of dollars. I have always had big dreams because I know what I am capable of and I am sure many […]

There have been many times on this site and on others where the criteria for building a successful blog have been discussed, but I have never gone over what it takes to make a successful site/blog before it launches.

Frustrating

Thanks Wayne.
Darren and Chris linked to me from their articles, but you failed to mention me, yet you acknowledge the other three bloggers who wrote about the topic based off of my entry. Goes to show that even if you start the original content it doesn’t mean you will always get credit for it. Makes […]

The Easy Way To Content and Money

This has been bothering me a lot lately. I am starting to get the feeling that people who read sites like this one and ProBlogger and any other forums concerning making money online start to develop an idea that making money from ‘blogs’ (don’t want to use that anymore, I will explain later) is an […]

Content Site or Syndicate Site?

When you start a blog you are given three options with regards to which direction you wish to take your content.

Full content site with original articles
Syndicated site where you link to other site’s articles
A combination of both

What is best from a money perspective? Well the syndicated approach is definitely the easiest because you just go […]
