Niche Blog Marketing For Products For Sale

There are still a lot of people around who do not believe blogging and social bookmarking can lead to sales for commercial products. Just like those that thought blogging was only a fad back in the 90s, bloggers who think that blogging and social bookmarking have no real benfit for businesses and product sales will learn they are wrong.

Many SEO people are convinced the only way to make money on the web is to rank well in the search engines and that you live and die by search engine traffic alone. Smart SEO people do not rely solely on search engines and try to get traffic from many different sources.

Here is a good example of a niche blog using the blog to sell product. It is well put together and with social bookmarking will likely rank well in the search engines for their products. With social bookmarking added into the mix they are also likely to make sales that do not go through the search engines.

Got Pay Per Post? Got 0 PR?

PPP = PR0

Pay Per Post was a good idea that came about 2 years too late. I tried it for a client and had bloggers write product reviews. it owrked out ok, but not worth the 15% fee Pay Per Post wanted.

Had they started earlier they would have had a chance to make more money before Google basically shut them down. I know pay Per Post is still there, but I don’t see how advertisers are going to want to have posts made on PR0 blogs.

I also don’t see bloggers wanting to risk their page rank just to make a little money from Pay Per Post. So am I predicting the demise of Pay Per Post? Well . . . Yeah.

Google has given bloggers who blog for Pay Per Post a PR 0. The blogs may still rank well in the search engines, but Google effectively killed the idea of having advertisers bid on blog posts based on the PR of the blog.

Will we see yet another lawsuit against Google for doing something with PageRank. Maybe, but it won’t fly. The bottom line is you can complain all you want about google and page rank but they own page rank. They can do with it as they please.

I’m glad I did not use my blogs with Pay Per Post. I was definitely tempted.

WordPress Plugins – AdsenseDeluxe

If you are using google adsense in your blog, uploading the adsense deluxe wordpress plugin might be a great option for you.

Rather than having your adsense appear at the top and bottom or in the sidebar of your blog is okay, but much less effective than having the adsense appear in the middle of each blog post you make.

After uploading it and activating the adsense deluxe plugin, go to options and you will see an adsense deluxe tab.

You install your google adsense code into the appropriate box and save it as your default. If you also use yahoo publisher or have other adsense accounts or channels, you can set up more than one adsense account inside your adsense deluxe plugin.

When you are making a post, in some versions of wordpress, you may have to “save and continue editing” each time you post before you hit publish, then the adsense deluxe toolbar will appear above your text box.

Simply put your cursor where you want the adsense to appear in your post and choose the adsense account you wish to use from the dropdown. Then hit publish and adsense should appear where you wanted it.

Easy to use and increases your clickthrus. I recommend it!

What Should My Blog Be About?

Advice is a funny thing. Everything from what doctor to use, to what car to buy, everyone has an opinion and most are ready and willing to give you advice about almost anything.

People base this on their own experience. You have to decide what advice you will use or not use. The same goes for advice about all things related to seo, Internet marketing, blogging, web design, etc.

The short answer to the question this blog post is about, “What Should My Blog Be About?”, is whatever you want it to be about. it’s your blog. Blogs are a funny animal. No matter what the blog is about, it should have your own personality and choices built into it.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not blogging the way you should or that your blog is not a “real” or “legitimate” blog. That is just their opinion about what they think every blog should be like.

If every blog was done the same, then blogging would soon be history because it would be extremely boring.

Seo advice for blogging. What works for one blog may not work for another blog. 2 different blogs + the same seo techniques = 2 different results. You have to find what works for you. That means listening to what worked for someone else and possibly trying it out. Then based on the results you get, you decide to keep that going or try something else.

Content Advice for Blogging. Again, here you will get a lot of opinions. One thing I do know is your blog needs it’s own personality. You have one of those, so use it. Do not be afraid to be yourself. it’s what makes you different from everyone else and what will make your blog different from all the other blogs. Don’t conform your blog to fit what the other bloggers are doing. have your own style.

Keyword advice for blogging. There will be some who advise you to use a 15% keyword density, some who say 8%, some who say more or less %. Ignore them all. They have no clue as to an exact percentage for keyword density. Talk about your topic, whatever you choose that to be. Use keywords and phrases naturally associated with your topic and the search engines will pick them up and help people find your blog post. Do it naturally. Don’t spam the blogpost full of keywords just because you want a top listing in google.

Make money blogging advice. This is where it really gets messy. If you are blogging to make money, there is nothing at all wrong with that. There are bloggers who tell you that if you are there to make money, you are not a “real” blogger. They think it’s an art form or whatever. That is okay too. That is what they want THEIR blog to be for. That is their right. Just like it is your right to blog for money.

Some bloggers make money with adsense or yahoo publisher. Some blogs never do well with either of those things. Some blogs can get revenue directly from advertisers. Other blogs cannot get people to advertise. Some use paid posts through companies like PayPerPost.com.

Other blogs directly sell a product or service. They are more of a store than a blog you might say, but once again, you get to define your own blog. It’s not up to anyone else.

Other blogs point people to a website the blogger owns to get the readers to buy a service or product. Other bloggers use affiliate links. You can post about topics related to a product or service someone else sells and make a commission if a reader clicks the affiliate link you provide and buys the product.

You can do book reviews and give your amazon.com affiliate link to where people can find the book to buy.

You have to see what works for you and try a lot of different things. And I repeat, it is YOUR blog. YOU choose what it is about. use YOUR personality in your blog posts. You have to find the things that work for YOUR blog.

Be confident and bold. try new things. The best blog in the world has not been created yet. Make your own path. maybe everyone else will soon be following you instead of the other way around.
