Cman's Top 5 Tips for Building a Profitable Blog

1. CONTENT is king. Regularly update the site with posts, links to relevant content, and rss feeds relating to the niche. This will give people a reason to return and help create a sustainable traffic level.

2. Visit other blogs related to yours and post comments with links back to your site. Contact the author and let them know you are linking to their site and ask for them to return the favor. Do this early and often as this will help drive traffic to your site and up your standing in the search engines. Post meaningful comments don't SPAM.

3. After a while static advertisements become "invisible" to regular readers so diversify not only your sites but your advertising. Obviously use adsense but also try BidVertiser. and ElementAds they are really good programs with lower minimum payouts(10$) and they both use paypal. Another one to try would be AdBrite. I also recommend Obeus.com - The Democratic Ads System. With Obeus.com you will need to register with E-Gold as that is the prefered payment system. E-Gold is a great system and i have been using it for years. Another great site is AuctionAds. They have great ads based on ebay auctions and the commission is very high.



4. Visit forums related to adsense type programs, blogging, making money, entrepreneurship, small business, etc., and any related to the topic of your niche and post to them. Don't just post crap as this will work against you. Post honest thoughtful comments and information. Register for these forums and put links to your sites in your signature and when appropriate and, if allowed, your posts. Don't SPAM

5. Remain dedicated. It will take a lot of work in the beginning and throughout. Building a high traffic blog is a long term endeavor. Set aside a set amount of time each day to devote to your effort.

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

Cman, your blog has a nice clear layout and is a pleasure to read. I added your site as one of my links. You are right, being dedicated and committed is key to building a loyal audience, not to mention having a great line, "later all and have a profitable and productive day". I love it.

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should
