Many from us,knows that we can earn online money by displaying Ads on our website or blog as a google AdSense publisher.Point is that,How we can increase the AdSense Revenue?
I think,this question is most suitable for new publisher who has getting very less traffic.Every one talks about quality content, increase traffic,proper Ads placement,SEO and all that.I don't deny this tips,these are work well but takes too long time.
Every beginners in AdSense are interested to see some bucks in their account.If not accumulated in few weeks or months,this result,depressed the publisher and they left,feeling every thing in online business is scam.This is not true.You will definitely make money from google AdSense.It takes some time.So,to shorten this period,we can use AdSense Revenue Sharing Sites.
There are more than 100 sites which shares revenue with their register users.Sharing ranges from from 50% to 100%.There is no scam because the income from valid click is directly deposited in your AdSense account.AdSense revenue sharing sites don't keep anything from your earnings.
In search of income through Internet,I come to know about many sites but from my personal experience,following are the most effective revenue sharing sites for article writer.
01) www.hubpages.com
Here your articles are known as hub and this site share 60% revenue with their users.Means for ten page views,your ads will display for six times and their for four times.This site has more than 8 million page impression per month.You can participate in forum and can make request for the answer,which you don't know.This site also share earnings from amazon and kontera ads.
02) www.senserely.com
Here you have to wait for two or three days for account approval.Ones your account approved ,you can publish,your article directly.You will get one point for each article you publish.This site shares 70% revenue.The most fascinating thing I found is,they will mix ads with your content,hence there are better chances of clicks.
03) www.indiastudychannel.com
As name indicates,this is educational information sharing site.A lot of information you can gather about Indian education.This site mostly approve the material,which is based on education.They will share 90% AdSense revenue with you along with other gifts and cash outs.Now a days they started sharing kontera ads revenue also.You can participate in forum or can start your community website from here.

05) www.prasannas.qassia.com
Here your articles are called as Intel and not directly included in their database.Your article is screened and graded by 12 viewers.I like this because you will get some idea about quality of your writing.This site shares 100% revenue.One drawback is that,you have to be referred by already registered user to join this site.

08) www.xomba.com

09) www.bloggerparty.com
These days this site is using new template which is not so attractive.Normally every time there are 50 to 60 visitors using site through out the day.This site share 50% revenue.The ads placement is quite good and overall my experience about the site is quite good.
10) www.blogevolve.com
This is also quite good site but only few regular users are using it.This site share 50% revenue.Don't get panic,if any regular user put any adverse comment on your article.You will get 5 points for every article you publish.Title of your post is published on front page.
All these sites are strict follower of google AdSense Terms and Conditions.So,you have to be very careful while using these sites.I have no doubt,you will get banned,if you don't follow the T & C.
If interested,use one or all and please give me your valuable feedback.

How To Increase Page Views From Same Traffic?
You may agree with me or not,I don't know,but these days many blogger are blogging for money.It is not wrong in some way but what I feel,we must blog to share information,what we know better.In this connection,I am going to write some simple ways to increase page views.Page views or impressions are that number which you can take it as your asset of online income.
You can earn money by displaying some text or image Ads on your blog or website.When it comes how to find big Advertisers? Traffic or page impression you got every day plays most important role.If you have decent or huge traffic towards your blog or website,then most Advertiser are happy to work with you.Even I come to know from searching that AdSense also display higher value Ads,who has very large number of visitors.
So,I put it as "More Page Impression=Higher Value Advertising Spot".I assume,you better understand the importance of page impression of your blog.Every day we wish,a large number of visitors to read our content,some time it happens,some times not.If your traffic is consistent,then you can increase the page views from the same by very easy and simple way.
01) Increase The Self-linking In Post
Recently I read a post on Blog Mastermind and I like it very much because it linked out to other relevant posts on the same blog and for the same niche.I spend many hours on that blog to read every post.Probably,I have opened more than 20 pages from a single visit.It means I added more than 20 page views to that blog.
Many blogger,specially new,don't self-link in their post as much as they can do.When reader is interested in your topic,then take them to deep in subject by self-linking the related posts.If you don't do this,then you are missing the opportunity to show,what else you write.
Self-linking is particularly beneficial,if you have Ads on every page of your blog and can directly collect the income from each page.This habit will keep your visitors engaged in your blog and keep them coming back again and again.
02) Put Related Posts At The End Of Post
When reader finished reading your post,if found something interesting or valuable,they always look for more related articles.So,it is the best idea to put some topic related posts at the end of each post.(At Footer.)
This is an important move because it gives your reader a chance to expand the knowledge when they are most interested in looking for them.
This you can do automatically through the plug-in,if you are using Word press as a blogging platform or can hand-pick posts to link to,if you are using blogger.com service.Hand-pick posts to link,will take some more time but it gives you the option,which links are to be chosen.I think,it is somewhat difficult to handle the links when you are doing it automatically through Word press Plug-in.I may be wrong because I am using Blogger platform.
03) Use Side Bar To Show Your Popular Posts
Every day we are writing something,which we feel is great.But actually is this so? For most of us,the answer is "NO".I agree,every day we can't produce great post but I am sure,we have produced some great posts in past.Are they on your main page right now? Is it mean your current reader has no right to read that great posts? Think about it.
Choose your three or five great blog posts,you have ever written and highlight them in your blogs side bar under heading, " My popular posts or Popular Posts of the blog etc."(Choose the proper heading what you like.) This is the best trick I found to keep my great posts evergreen and alive,which help me to increase some page views.
Here I have share some ways,which I think,will definitely help to increase page impression from the same traffic.I know,you have also some good one in your mind,which I missed here.So,add your ideas by comments.

How to double or triple Google Adsense Revenue on your blog
Increase Google Adsense revenue by 100% to 200%
This is an Adsense tip I shared on my blog and that helped double or even triple Google Adsense revenue on my blogs. The actual results varied across blogs, but my revenue never decreased, having even tripled in certain cases.
Three Adsense link units
My tip to increase Adsense revenue is to place three Adsense link units side by side. You can use the 120x90, 160x90, 180x90 or the 200x90 sizes, and the idea is to line up the Adsense link units side by side, at the very top of your post/blog. The final result, that you can see in the screenshot, will look something like a "menu".
This link unit setup was actually suggested by one of my blog readers, and before he pointed it out I don´t remember ever seeing this anywhere before.
Test, test, test
Although I obtained great results with displaying the Adsense link units in this fashion, there are things you should test. The most important of which is the color of the links. From my tests, I found that bright colored links achieved double the click-through rate of links with the same color as the text on the page. The color of the "ads by Google" border also affected the CTR (click-through-rate). Other things you might consider testing are the sizes and the number of links (4 or 5) in each link you. Not only for blogs
I initially started using these Adsense link units on my blogs, but I have since started testing on other sites also. Generally the results have also been positive, with a few sites showing no improvement. It really depends on what kind of a site it is, and where you put the link units. Other things to keep in mind
If you decide to test these Adsense link units, which I highly recommend you do, the click through rate on this channel will be somewhat deceiving. If you set-up a separate channel for the link units, and you put the three ads side by side like I explained, for every page impression there will be three link unit impressions. This will make the CTR on the link units one third of what it would be if you had a single a Adsense ad. So if you want to compare the CTR with say a 336x280 unit, you should multiply the CTR by three. Another option is just to compare the total number of clicks that spot gets, or the page eCPM.
Like I said before, I strongly recommend you test out this layout on your blog. My results have just been incredible.

How To Make Your Blog Popular
Blogging is fairly mainstream these days, isn’t it? I mean, your Gran probably even knows what it is, and that’s a far cry from just a few years ago. If you’re thinking of starting a blog, or if you already have one and just want to increase your audience size, these tips are for you.
1. Have a point
This is the most important thing you can do. Too many people start blogs and try to turn it into an online diary. It’s like this – if you have a fantastically interesting life, you can become fantastically popular doing this. If you’re a regular Joe, however, you’re going to need a bigger boat. That said, you can be dull and have a regular following, it just won’t be very big. Which isn’t why you’re reading this – you want popularity. So have a point!! Make it interesting. Have something to say, and say it with passion. Look at that guy crying about Britney Spears on YouTube. He didn’t really have a lot to say, but he said it so dramatically, most of the world saw it. So if you’re not going to have a point worth sharing, at least make it worth laughing at - you just might end up with your own reality show, like him!
2. Customize Your Blog Design
People are naturally attracted to eye-catching things. Have a cool looking blog and you’ve already come a long way without trying. I don’t care how nice your content is – if you’re blog is totally boring, I’m not going to want to visit. You don’t have to shell out wads of cash, there are plenty of people who make custom templates for reasonable prices. For more info, see my BlogBunnie site.
3. Blog-Hop
If you want an audience, you need to go get one, baby. Find blogs related to the things you want to blog about and then make friends. Don’t fake it – that becomes very obvious very quickly. Which is why I suggest you find blogs you LIKE, then it won’t be a chore commenting on them. Visit, chat, shoot the breeze. Leaving comments on other blogs will also get you visitors from those blogs, provided you’ve said something interesting and make them want to come see what else you have to say.
One of my custom blog designs.
4. Talk to your readers!
This is a major mistake bloggers make. If someone takes the time to read your blog and leave comments, you can spare 5 seconds and at least say thank you. If I leave comments on your blog and you don’t at least acknowledge my existence, I leg it to another blog. But then, I’m a huffy little Princess and I enjoy attention. All the same, make your readers feel like they matter to you – and really, they should matter to you, fans are very important! – and they will be more inclined to come back, and more inclined to tell their friends about you. All you have to do is leave a comment on your own blog in the comments section thanking them.
5. Link Love
Trade links with people, this way their readers will see you on other blogrolls and come check you out. You can email people and ask them if they’d like to trade – be nice! I’ve yet to have someone turn me down, but that doesn’t mean people don’t. The best way to ensure a yes, is to be approaching someone with similar content. Meaning, if you have a sex blog, don’t expect a link trade with a Priest or nun.
6. Blog frequently
Don’t just blog once a week and expect people to check in every day. That’s not fair to them, and it will just make people think you can’t be bothered. Even if you have nothing worth saying, blog at least every other day if at all possible. You can always find something clever on YouTube to entertain your readers while you attend to whatever else you have going on. These are the main things that will get your blog noticed. Social bookmarking and indexing, etc – yeah they work to a degree, but don’t even come close to what these other tips will get you. Make the effort. If you build it, they will come!

How to Make Money by Blogging
The amount of money you can earn by blogging could be a lot or a little. If you are blogging as a freelancer for someone else, the pay range is generally from $120.00 per month to $1000 per month. The income may be from a flat rate or a combination of base pay, paid reviews or per page views.
To find these gigs go to sites like :
Guru
Elance
iFreelance
freelancewritinggigs
Craigslist
Blogger Jobs
Problogger
Freelance Blogging Jobs
According to Problogger, the amount per month people made in 2008 from their own blog ranged from less than $10.00 to $20,000 or more. Some of the people that make huge profits from blogging also have a website like PlentyofFish.com, which makes over 3 million dollars a year, according to WebPublishing.me. While we may aspire to making that much money blogging, it seems it takes a website with a good product to accomplish that goal, along with the blog.
Some of the methods for earning blog money are listed below:
CPC Ads from networks like Google Adsense
AdBrite...Adbrite supplies inline ads by CPC and CPC banners. CPC means cost-per-click.
Adify supplies CPC and CPM ads...CPM means cost-per-thousand. The M is the Roman numeral meaning 1000.
Affiliate marketing is another way to make money blogging.
Some of the affiliate marketing sites are Amazon, Clickbank, Commission Junction, FlexOffers, and Linkshare. To find affiliate programs for a certain niche search the niche. For example, searching for music affiliate programs found 43, 700, 000 results. These include iTunes and Virtual Sheet Music. Narrowing down the topic to musical instruments returns 2, 470, 000 sites. These include Musicians Friend and Rayburn Music.
When deciding on an affiliate program that suits your blog's topic, make sure to join programs that offer at least 15% commission. Some offer less and others more. Obviously, the higher the commission the more you make on a sale and fewer sales can still generate pretty good money.
When looking for affiliate programs find out if the program you're interested in is reputable, pays affiliates regularly, and if it offers the customer a money back guarantee.
Patience is a virtue and it takes patience to make money blogging. Building a good readership before monetizing your blog is important. Statistics say that only 5% of affiliate marketers succeed in making a good income through their marketing efforts. But with a blog that has good content and new content often, and a solid reader base—you are on your way to gaining money through blogging.

Blog carnivals are extended blog posts that round up different post on certain themes and are another way to promote your blog. Due to the large amount of readers that these blog carnivals receive you will notice an increase in the amount of traffic to your blog.

Continuing Success
After you have succeeded in having a successful blog you want to make sure you continue to be successful. You can do this by using keyword analysis software to continue to find niche related keywords. GoodKeywords is great analysis software that can be used for this purpose.
Use these keywords in your blog post and place them in the title and the first and last paragraph. You should also add variations of the keyword to the content in the form of phrases throughout the content.
Make sure that you use a blog template that will let you place ads where they will be used by readers. The hotspots for these ads are located close to the main content. Google Adsense will even supply you with a diagram to show you were these placement spots are located.

Placing your Adsense ads
Where you place your Adsense ads it is important to make sure you receive the best response to the ads as possible. You also want to make sure that you customize the ads to make them look more attractive. You can do this by removing the ad boarder and blending the colors with your templates to look better. Google suggests that you place the ads around your main content. This
could be over the primary content or to the left of it. Another great spot is below the top navigation bar.
It is always a good idea to keep your customized ads in a text file. This way half the work will already be done for you if you decide to add new blogs. It will already be prepared to place into your blogger template. After changing the templates save your changes and check to see if you can view your ads. Keep in mind that it can take a few days before the correct ads begin to show. Don’t worry about this because the ads will soon begin to relate to your blog post. The more content you post the better the ads will relate.

Contextual Ads
After you have placed banners for affiliate products you will then want to include ad codes for contextual advertising. We will use Adsense ads as an example to explain how this works. The first thing you need to do is grab your Adsense code.
To do this log into your Adsense account and go to the setup section. Here select “Adsense for content” then simply pick out the type of ad you want to use. You have a choice between ad links and ad units and even get to choose the color of the ad.
Normally a “leaderboard” is used for the top of a page and for the navigation bar or sidebar usually a “Skyscraper” is used. After you have customized the ad to fit your blog copy the code into Notepad. This way you will already have it if you want to start up another blog. You will make money each time a person clicks on your ad because your publisher ID is embedded into the advertising code.

Editing Templates to Place Ads
You will need to edit templates to be able to place ads for your blog. To do this with a Blogger blog you start by going to the template section.

You can customize every part of your template to include advertising in this manner. After editing the files you will have to republish the blog.
Wordpress blogs can also be customized in this way because they have different files used for the header, sidebar, content and footer. They are all included in the wordpress folder labeled content/themes. After you have made the changes and edited the files on your wordpress blog you will need to upload the edited theme files to your server.

How To Get Banner Ads
Banner advertisements are a great way to promote products. Affiliate programs have banners that are designed especially for their affiliates. This means that they can be found in different sizes to better fit in the blog.

To get the banner you need, go to your affiliate account and pick out the code that best fits your blog. You will want to save it on Notepad so it can also be used at a later date.

Upload it to a free webspace that will host the banner or to your own webspace, it up to you. After the upload is complete all you need to do is write the code needed to make the banner show up on your blog.

How To Choose An Affiliate Program
When you decide to use an affiliate program there are two things that you need to be concerned with. One is the amount of commission you receive and the other is Residuals. When you are looking at commission the highest percentage rate available is the best. Some even pay as much as seventy-five percent commissions.
This is a really good rate. Residuals are programs that continue to pay each time the person you
introduced uses their services. Therefore, the longer the residuals last the more money you have a chance to make.
Affiliate directories provide most of the information for their programs. These directories will tell the blogger how many sales have been made and explain the 30 along with other statistics that will help you. Below is a list of affiliate directories that can be very helpful:

Web Statistics Information
We have already established that to sell advertisers a space on your blog you need to keep track of how many people visit your site. To help you in this area we will explain just how useful web statistics can be to you. When we talk about how many visitors you have we are not talking about the number of hits your blog receives but instead the number of actual visitors.
Hits are how many times someone loaded a single element of your page. One visitor can hit several elements during a sinas ads, banners and images but all the hits were made by the same person. So what you are looking for and what is more important is how many people actually visit your blog not the hits they make once they are there.
One of the things that you are actually looking for is called the “unique visitors”. This is the number of visitors that you receive on a daily basis. The count begins the first of each month and a person who visited your blog the day before is not counted twice in this statistic.
Another thing that web statistics show is how many times each person visits your blog. Of course, the more times someone visits your site the better. Return visits show that people are enjoying the contents of your blog enough to keep coming back. Many of the statistics packages that you can receive will have a statistic called “traffic not viewed”. This is how many times your blog has been visited by search engines.

Google Analytics
The Google Analytics is a free tracking program that works by putting a tiny bit of code into the template of your blog.

It can also give you suggestions for other themes and keywords that can be used to bring people to your blog and help you track and research the ones you
already have.
Tracking programs work in a number of different ways. For instance, many of the free visitors tracking programs require that you place on your blog page a logo or banner. This is what tracks the visitors, but the biggest problem with these trackers is that most of them allow anyone who clicks on these logos to also view your statistics. To avoid this you will need to upgrade your program to a higher level.

It could be blogs with similar content such as hobbies, writing or people that have similar jobs. Some of these rings are made up of blogs from the same region or country. It is very simple to do; you place a link on your blog showing that you belong to the ring along with links
leading to the next person in the ring.
It is suggested that you check out the blog ring before joining just so you will know what the other blogs are offering. After all you are sending visitors to other blogs from your site, but in return other blogs are sending traffic your way also.

Purchase Content
Another option for you is to purchase original content for your site. You can hire a freelance writer to write articles for you. You can find service professionals on sites such as:
Elance.com
Guru.com
Rentacoder
Etc
Each of these works in the same basic way and will help connect you to a service provider who can do your job for you and usually at a low, affordable price. Wherever you acquire your content, always watch out for two things:
1. Plagiarism
2. Duplicate content
Plagiarism will cause obvious problems. You should already know the reasons why to not do this. Duplicate content on your own sites can cause you to pay fines or even have your sites/blogs shut down so be careful of this as well.

Article directories provide a steady supply of fresh content. You can copy and paste this, or simply have an RSS feed which updates every time fresh content is added to the site. Some of the big article directories are

Create Your Own Content
The easiest and cheapest way is to create the content yourself. Blog posts are short (usually 250-500 words) and they don’t typically have to be very technical – unless your blog is a technical blog. You can easily create this content for yourself if you have the time. When creating your own content, keep these points in mind:
1. Keep it short – about 250-500 words
2. Start with a catchy title and headline to get their attention
3. Get right to the point with the beginning (you only have a few seconds to catch their attention on the web)
4. Answer the reader’s question of “What’s in it for me?”
Creating your own content is a great way to save money and participate more in your blog project but you shouldn’t do it if you are a poor writer or if you take so long getting it done that you are not efficient and can’t keep the bog regularly updated. If you are not a writer, there are some other options for you to consider.

Once you have your blog set up and you have the proper content on it, you need to make sure you keep regular content flowing on the site. There are different ways for you to do this.
First, you need to know where you are getting your content from. You have basically two options: buy or hire someone to write the content or create the content yourself.

For instance, you can choose to update once a week, twice a week or even every day, whatever is best for you. Just make sure that however you choose to update, you keep it up. Your readers will come to expect the updates at certain times and will be disappointed if you begin to change.
To keep new material coming you need to find new ideas. If you tend to get great ideas whenever it is inconvenient for you to post to your blog, find a way to note these ideas.

projects to their blogs worked really well.

Your Topic
What will your blog be about? How do you choose the topic for your blog? To answer these questions you need to decide what topics you are interested in. What are the things that you enjoy talking about and that you would like to share with others? For instance, if you are a writer, then a blog containing information on writing would be suited for you.
The same is true for any thing that interests you. You can share your life’s events
or hobbies that you enjoy. If certain events that are taking place in the world get
you stirred up this could be a good topic for your blog. You do however, have to choose a topic so that anyone interested in visiting your blog will know what to expect. Otherwise, very few people may want to waste their time going to a blog
when they have no idea what it is about.
After determining the things that interest you, your next step would be to choose
the topic from these things that is broad enough to allow you to gather
information to have something to talk about. You do not want to make two or
three entries then run out of things to say. An example of a good topic would be a
network marketer.
Someone with this type of blog could write about tips on marketing tools and strategies. They could also talk about marketing software and a number of other subjects related to network marketing. The key is to have a topic that will allow you plenty of material to talk about, but still small enough that you can stay focused on one subject.
Readers come to expect a certain amount of information when they look at your
blog. This is why it is important to stay focused on your original topic most of the
time. If you begin talking about to many other subjects to often, some of your
readers could lose interest and look elsewhere for information. It doesn’t hurt to
throw something else in there occasionally just to keep things interesting, but for
the most part stick to your topic.

Wordpress is both hosted and self hosted, depending on what your needs are.
Wordpress is free and is easy to setup and use. There are hundreds of plugins to
extend functionality in different areas. This is by far one of the most popular
options around today.

Typepad
Typepad (hosted)/ Moveable Type (self-hosted. Typepad was created by SixApart and is the hosted version of their popular MoveableType platform. These are both options for you to consider depending on your specific needs. Typepad is a paid blogging platform but it is still relatively affordable.

with technology. It is much more customizable that the aforementioned options 13 and it has wizard based interface to make this easier for you. It also uses custom formatting.

LiveJournal
LiveJournal allows you to set up online journals quickly and easily. It is a collaboration and networking tool that is great for individuals but makes customization difficult. Again, it depends on what you are trying to do with your blog but if you hope to make money, this might not be your best option.
Blogger
Blogger is a free hosted blogging tool by Google that has been around for a long time and is very easy to use. Many people make personal blogs on this site and it only takes about 10 minutes to set up your first blog. They have a nice selection of templates but Blogger doesn’t allow for a lot of customization.
Hosted Blog
All blogs are either hosted on someone else’s server of self-hosed on your own server. Blogger is a popular example of a blog that is hosted and Wordpress is an example that is self-hosted. Read on to find out more about these two hosting types.
Hosted blogs are usually more affordable, or even free so this is a big plus for many people, especially those that have never blogged before. Hosted blogs are really easy to create and maintain.
There are some disadvantages to all this ease of use. You won’t have as many options for customization, etc when you use a hosted blog. You pretty much just have to work with what you are given.
Also, if you later want to move to a self-hosted site, you may have to start over with the search engine rankings and it can be difficult to move and keep all of your existing content.

Software
What do you need to know to build your blog? Do you need to be an expert in HTML and coding to complete this successfully? Back in the early days of blogging, programmers would have needed to know HTML to create their blogs.
That isn’t true today now that we have software that converts what you type into what you want it to look like. This software makes blogging simple and easy even if you don’t know any HTML.

Keeping Your Blog Up to Date
If you have a blog, you are also going to need to understand the importance of keeping your blog up to date. People want to see updated content on a regular basis. If you continue to have updated content, people will return. To keep your blog properly updated, you also have to keep a close eye on it and how things are changing.
Since things can change rather quickly, it’s a great idea to stay on top of it. The more often you respond and remain in contact with your blog and the members that are reading it, the better sense of community you will create and the more comfortable people will feel on your site.
Another good thing about blogs and a good reason to keep your content updated is because the search engines regularly update them. You can raise your search engine ranking and bring more traffic to your site which means more profit to you.

RSS feeds or Atom feeds
You can also use RSS feeds or Atom feeds to let people know you have updated content or to let them put your content on their sites.
Blogs also have links to other blogs so they all link together, or at least the ones with similar content do. So you can see how great it is for a company or business that wants to get their name out there or make themselves known. It can be very useful to make yourself known with the popular blogs in your topic or category so that you will get advertising to your own as well. Comparing blogs to websites
You might have already noticed that blogs and websites have several similarities. There are, however, important features that make them different. The way that these sites function is very different. A regular website stays what is called “static”. While it may be updated, it is not updated as regularly as blogs. Most of the information and content that is on the website will stay the same. A blog however, may be constantly changing not only on a daily basis but from hour to hour, etc.
Blogs have the bonus of having a permanent web address just like a website but they are different because they are also interactive and very dynamic. The person keeping the blog maintains in conversation with the reader so they feel more in touch with the blogger and the blog. It’s more personal than simply reading words on a website.

The Archive Features
Archiving is another great feature of blogging. Most blogs have this option so that you can archive your posts by categories and date. If you find a blog that you like, you can look back on past entries. In fact, most blogs have an archive that is searchable for you to easily bring up certain topics or dates and read the entries.
The regular blog will have features set up so that after a certain number of days or certain number of blog entries posted, the older entries will roll off the main page and become archived. There are also other features that are usually built into the blog itself such as the ability to subscribe to the content of that blog or excerpts of the blog content.

Interactivity
Another great thing about blogs is that they are interactive. This is one thing that made them so popular. People have the opportunity to respond to what they read. You can post comments to the blog when you read it which are often shown instantly.
There are some cases where the blog owner may use a spam filter or blocker and your comment will have to be reviewed first. The comments are usually found at the end of the post. People feel great about the fact that they can add their own thoughts and opinions and communicate with other people that are reading the blog. This is also a great way for advertisers to find out how the readers feel about something.

This is also a great way for advertisers to find out how the readers feel about something.
Post Articles Structures
Do you understand the posting structure of the blog and how it works? Each entry is referred to as a “post”. Posts may also be called entries or articles. They may be made on a daily basis or weekly, bimonthly, monthly, etc. The way you enter your blog post varies according to what type of blog service you are using.
Many have a direct entry text box where you simply type in what you want to say. You don’t have to know any special coding information. Some blogs have what is called WYSIWYG editors. This stands for “what you see is what you get” and it means easy text entry no matter who you are.
Most blog sites and interfaces have HTML input as well for those of you who enjoy working with code and would like to enter your blogs this way. There are also different formats for listing links, photos, etc. Most work the same way as text. You have the option to either enter as HTML or enter in the WYSIWYG editors.

Features Of Blogging
When it comes to actually writing and setting up your blog, you need to understand the features of a blog. Knowing and understanding these featurescan help you understand both what the blog is and how it works. This will help you to understand how people make a lot of money off of it and how you can do the same.
Corporate Blogging
As the popularity of blogging has increased, we now also have corporate blogging. Many companies both large and small see this as a great way to connect with their target audience in a more direct way. You can use blogs to find out about your target market’s interests, hobbies and concerns.
We live in a time where people want information – tons of information. The more information you can provide, the more confidence there will be in you and your company and your
knowledge and abilities. Companies are literally earning millions off of being able to provide others with information. The blog gives you a great platform to be able to achieve this.
There are even many major companies that are starting to advertise in blogs such as Coca-Cola for one. Advertisers are really taking notice to the popularity of blogs and how they can make money from the information super-highway. You can jump on board and get your share of the profits as well. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be making money through a blog as well.

Blogging in the 21st century
You may already know that there is not only one type of blog out there. Blogs come in a wide variety of types and are made distinct and personal by the blogger himself. You will become well-known to others by the voice you use on your blog regardless of what type of blog you choose to use.
The type of blog that represents the original blog the best is where the blogger sorts through different topics provided by internet sites. They then take the important and most interesting facts from these sites and post them to a blog to be viewed by others.
By doing this you are presenting the reader of the blog with an easy and simple way of keeping up with what’s going on in the world without doing all the research themselves. This is great for people that are short on free time. You can choose to stick to one main interest or change around and talk about different subjects, as the blogger it’s your choice.
The most popular blog today would be where the blogger posts their personal journal of their day’s event. If you want to share the events of your life with others this would be a great way to do so. Many people have used their hobbies to post on blogs, giving others who enjoy the same thing good information about the subject. If there is something going on in the world that you strongly protest or support many people have found that these types of blogs work well for them.
The turn of the 21st century brought about a lot of changes, including changes in blogging. Technology has given internet users a whole new way to write and present their blogs. Instead of all text with a few images thrown in to make it a little more interesting you can now add audio to your blogs. To make it even more interesting put in a short video to intrigue your visitors.
Did you know that you can even update your blog when you are on the go if you like? All you have to do is use a PDA or a mobile phone and you can connect and update anytime, anywhere you please, this is called mobile blogs. Technology has certainly changed the way blogging works. There are no longer very many limitations holding the blogger back
