8 Ways NOT to earn through blogging

Blogging is somewhat seen now as a way to make easy money when the reality is quite the opposite. Nowadays anyone can start a blog, however earning money with it is a different thing completely.

Tip #1-Don’t write about a low paying niche
One major thing is your niche as you don’t want to be writing about things that will earn you little or no money at all. If you write about things that are quite competitive then you can get a good price per click. Some examples are weight loss and making money. However don’t depend your subject solely on how much you will get per click as you want to write about something you know about. If you don’t know much about the subject you are basing your blog upon you will end up struggling to think of ideas and your readers will notice. So one thing you don’t want to do is to write about a low paying keyword.

Tip #2-Don’t put irrelevant ads on your site
If you are writing to people looking to build a site put web-hosting affiliates but don’t put web-hosting banners on a dog walkers site. A Good one to put on a dog walkers site is dog leads/toys etc. If you use adsense this will take care of things

Tip #3-Don’t put contrasting colours for the ads
This makes users spot out the ads. Taking time to change the colour is worthwhile and a easy way to do this is too take a screenshot of your blog and use the colour picker tool. Then change the colours of your ads

Tip #4-Don’t put ads on the right hand side
Unless you are from a country that reads right to left put your ads on the left hand side. This makes the ad stand out to the eye.

Tip #5-Don’t use Bidvitiser
They have a much lower ad range than adsense and so the ads are not at all related. This means your users are not interested in your ads.

Tip #6-Don’t be the same as everyone else
If you want to stand out then be different. If everyone is saying swine flu is bad say its good. Hard to find a good reason but if you do people will be linking to your posts and getting digged. You can earn money a lot easier if you are different. I once wrote a post on why the iPhone was awful and I got loads more views.

Tip #7-Don’t go in the biggest niche
If you go for one of the most biggest niches then you will find it a hard time getting to the top 1,000 in google let alone the top 10.

Tip #8-Don’t go for 1 worded keywords
If you go for the keyword ‘dog’ you will have a harder job of getting high in google or any search engine. Instead go for ‘long tail’ keywords such as ‘red dog leads’
