subject: make A Proftable Blog In 8 Step [print this page] STEP 1: Give your blog a different domain name and try to use a keyword you can easily rank for when you choose it. This is important for ranking in the search engines for your topic and marketing your blog in that niche. Go to a web host provider and get a domain or you could even use a free blog service such as typepad or blogger but I recommend getting your own domain name so you can have your keyword in it.
STEP 2: When you set up your website you will need to have updated content on it everyday. This is important because the search engines will visit your blog regularly and you will get indexed more frequently. If you dislike the task of having to make a new post regularly there are some options for you to select from.
STEP 3: Article sites are a good way to get content for your blog without having to write daily. You can choose from many topics and the articles are all free for you to use on your blog. The only thing you must abide by is keeping the links to the articles intact so that the author gets credit.
STEP 4: Once you get your site content in your blog make sure your keywords you want to rank for are in the title and in the content itself. This is important so the search engines can tell what keyword you are trying to rank for. Make sure you go for keywords that are not hard to rank for with hardly any competition.
STEP 5: After every thing is finished you will want to put up some advertising links in your blog. The best advertising to use is Google Adsense, Clickbank, and any other affiliate programs that are free to join. Promote your links in your website and in your sidebar with pictures and banners.
STEP 6: Now you will want to get the word out to the online community that your website is set up and ready for readers. The greatest way to start off is by getting back links from as many sources as you can. Start off by submitting to blog directories and rss feed directories to get some good backlinks.
STEP 7: Social networking sites and forums are the best ways to get links back to your blog. Try to get as many back links as you can to increase your website in the search engines. It is important to create links to all the pages in your blog and to do so slowly.
STEP 8: You will be seeing an increase in visitors from all the links you have placed. At this point you will be noticing some increase in search engine rankings to your blog. Stay motivated and consistent so you can build your site into a steady income one day.
