Blogging Site

What should a blogger do when they want to profit from their creativity, knowledge, experience and skills, but not by teaching “how to”, but instead from the results of their work? As you no doubt know, my strategy for building a profitable blog around what you know is called Authority Blogging. Build an audience of people who know, like and trust you.

When it comes to monetizing a web site or blog, you have a lot of options. In the last monetization post I wrote, I covered a few different methods, which ranged from promoting yourself as a brand, selling your own product and also through contextual advertising. Contextual advertising is a hot trend lately, as site owners are moving away from the idea of adding banners to their sites that will take up more web site, and potentially lower the user experience.

Do you remember MillionDollarHomePage.com? If not, it was a simple and fun idea that went on to generate a million dollars and get a mega ton of free publicity and traffic from the media.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Rouper for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Recently, all the buzz has been about buying and selling web sites.

A few months ago I wrote up an article on where to find royalty free images, and using Depositphotos. Since then, DP has done a complete web site redesign and continues to add to their selection of photos you can purchase from the web site. I actually just started up a new pet food review blog last month and have been using Depositphotos for nearly all of the the images I’m using on the site.

Whether you are promoting your own web site, or a simple affiliate campaign, it’s important to know what creatives are pulling the best click through rates and conversions. What converts on one web site, may not convert on another, same with gender and other demographics. Today I was playing around with some banners that HostGator sent over to me, and I figured I would test them out to see what type of click through rates they would get.
