Increase Your Blog Traffic Part 1

Submit your site to various search engines such as Google, DMOZ as well as any directories that are appropriate for your content.

If you are a WAHM, add your site to one of the several WAHM directory sites.

There are directories for homeschool moms, Christian moms and many more. Find out which directories your likely readers will be checking and make sure they can find you there.

Do a search in a major search engine for your topic or related topics and add the word "directory" to see what other users will see and make sure that you submit there.

Monetize Your Blog Part 2

Scribefire, the nifty Firefox plug-in for quickly posting to your blog, now offers an ad network.

Scribefire aggegates a number of ad placements, including Adsense, and allows you to feature ads on your blogs and get PAID!

Remember to check the ads being placed to insure that they are relevant to your visitors. And most importantly, keep creating great content because that is what will bring the visitors who will click on the ads.

Depending on the ads and the audience, expect a conversion rate of not greater than 3% on average. You will need a lot of visitors to click if each click is worth only a few cents and you would like to make hundreds or thousands of dollars per month from advertising. (these figures are highly dependent on the type of ad, blog, audience demographics and more but just to give some sample figures...)

Monetize Your Blog Part 1

Text Link Ads is an easy way to monetize your blog. I was amazed at how simple it was to set up.

Once you sign up and confirm your registration by e-mail, give a little information about your blog or website, get the RSS, place it on your site and forget about it!

Text Link Ads, as their name implies, are contextual ads that are meant to blend seamlessly into your site, offering your visitors opportunities to learn more about products and services related to your content.

It is nice to have some Adsense alternatives. Many of the big-name Internet marketing gurus (like John Chow) state that they make much more from ad sources other than Adsense.
