Clean Up, Update, and Advice
I went through the blogs today and did some pretty stiff deactivation for sub-par submissions. Most of the 'blogs' I deleted weren't even blogs, they were regular (albeit spammy) sites or false submissions, i.e.: Entertainment News title that led to a web cam site. All in all, I deactivated about 20 sites.
I try to keep my involvement in submissions pretty minimal. I rely on the community to let me know when a blog is inappropriate. If you come across a blog submission that doesn't belong, please click the 'Report' link and let me know. I review all reported submissions and take pretty swift action.
I got an email the other day from a blogger wondering if anyone is getting any business through Bloggertizer. The short answer to that is yes, some bloggers are, but most bloggers aren't.
The better ranking blogs are getting business. There also seems to be a lot of link exchange activity going on as well. But all the activity, both for links and posts, seems to be limited to the better ranking blogs.
If you, as a blogger, want to see more business through Bloggertizer (or any other pay-per-post service), there are some things you need to do.
First and foremost, you need to increase your blog's popularity. Not many people want a link or post on a blog that has a zero (or none) when it comes to PageRank. Same thing goes for indexed pages or Alexa rank. The prevailing thought is "What good is a link on a blog ranked 7,000,000 in Alexa, or with no pages indexed in Google?" The answer? Not much.
So as a blogger, if you want to earn with your blog, you need to increase its popularity. Write more original articles, do some link building, syndicate through FeedBurner or some other aggregator.
More Traffic = More Exposure = Better Ranking = More Opportunities to Make Money
It's simple in theory, but difficult in application.
No one wants a post or link on your 'blog' where all you do is 'review' different credit card application sites. Everyone coming to you blog knows it's bullshit and you're an affiliate driving traffic to credit card sign ups. Same goes for 'dating site reviews' and 'product reviews' and 'breakthrough medical miracle' and all that other crap. Everyone knows it's fake. So don't be fake.
No one wants a post or link on a blog where the author obviously doesn't know proper English grammar (or the grammar of whatever language they are writing in). Sorry, but that's the way it is. If you want to make money blogging, you have to be able to communicate clearly and concisely in whatever language you are writing in. Does you understands what am writing too you about?
No one wants to read about the newest and greatest Make Money plan you just 'discovered'. If your blog is one big advertisement for some bullshit scheme, don't count on making any money with it. Visitors can spot your 'infomercial', fake-ass blog a mile away.
Write well, write often, be original, and be credible. That's how you build traffic and links, and that's how you can get your blog to the point where someone will pay money to be on it.
