Few days ago, I came across a new site to generate more income from our blog. The site is Infolinks.com which is offering in text advertising for all websites and blogging platform. If you are confused what is "in text" advertising, just look around Earn Money From Blog, you will notice a lot of text are underlined in Blue color. Those are text links created by Infolinks.com.
Infolinks.com in text advertising is quite similar to in text advertisements of Kontera.com. Personally, I feel that Inforlinks.com is new and it is worth to give it a try. In text advertisements are effective and can engage users more efficiently. It is because by hovering our mouse pointer to the in text links, advertisements will appear to provide more information for readers.
So, in text advertising can actually get more clicks and make us more money. Since I am just starting out to try Infolinks.com, I hope I can see some good results to show you in few months time.
Please read on for more because I have place an important note at the later section of this post.
If your blog is generating low income, you might want to visit Infolinks.com. Maybe it will work well on your blog.

The question can look like very stupid and having no meaning to it, but had you ever thought of that the catchy headline can make your posts look better. Many great articles go unnoticed on social bookmarking sites because their headline is not catchy enough. Your reader is going to decide to read your articles or not by your Headline and if it is not attractive enough he will not waste his time on article even though it is good article.
Your headline is the first, and perhaps only, impression you make on a reader. With a good headline or post title you can force your reader with read me effect. suppose that 8 out of 10 people will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest. This is the secret to the power of the headline, and why it so highly determines the effectiveness of the entire piece. The better the headline, the better your odds of beating the averages and getting what you have written would be read by larger percentage of people.
If your percentage of traffic is coming through social networking sites like tweeter, deli.cio.us, stumbleupon etc and your post title is not good enough then how can you get good traffic flow to your blog. People will  directly neglect your article/s causing you your potential readers.
There may a condition occur that your Headline appeals more from your post than that you are providing to the readers. In such cases again its your responsibility to write a good post with a good header.

I am ready with my blog ! I am regularly posting on my blog ! I am able to generate small amount of traffic ! whats next ???
Next thing comes in the way is quality of your blog.
What does it mean to maintain or improve quality of your blog?

Navigation

Navigation is nothing but a visitor or your reader can navigate(travel) through your web pages or blog. Easy navigation allows readers to get quicker to place where they want to go. If your blog is difficult to navigate people will be unhappy and will rarely visit your blogs. Make direct links to your home page, your visitor/reader can be able to travel through pages easily and without getting troubles.


Categorization
 
Consider yourself in the super market and the supermarket owner does not have maintained a separate sections for each categories of products then think that what would you do to find a particular item from that shop. The chances of finding the thing are very less unless you are very lucky or you would prefer to go to place where you can get that thing easily. Same is the thing with your blog, you should arrange your blog contents properly and better categorize them accordingly. Your reader should be able to find what contents he wants to read and should found his requirements quickly else he will leave your place(blog).

Ad Placements

About more than 95% people write blogs for making money by monetizing their blogs. Why not ? as you are taking efforts to doing it you should get revenue out of it. But placing advertise on wrong places on your blog will make it irritating to the readers or the improperly placed ads can cut their reading. You do advertising but place them separate from your contents and do not use your most portion of blog for advertising . It will not help you to generate revenue but it will surely reduce your readers.

Allow Comments

Allowing comments to your blog will make your blog readers to post their feeling, ideas and thoughts about your writing . Comments will help you to improve work and comment writers can be considered as the best critics for your blog if they give their neutral opinion.

Mistakes

Most common mistakes done by new writers are grammar mistakes. If you are making grammar mistakes in your posts and you are not a good punctual writer then you should work first on your English skills and improve your writing skills.

I am sure these points will help you to improve quality of your blog and will produce good results for you.

Keywords are the special words which have good advertising value and they are considered as weapon for blogging or website creation. When you use keywords in you posts or in contents then search engine can bring you more traffic related to those keywords.

If you think that your blog is ready and people will start coming through your blog automatically through search  engines and it will generate traffic to your blog. Then you are totally wrong. Its like you are having a home in a desert and you want to make your people visit your home then you should provide them with your address, consider your blog as your home and your URL as your home address then to bring visitors you should be sharing your URL to the different blogs, different forums, websites.

You should consider following things when you create your blog

When you are ready with a blog, it is obvious that no one knows anything about the blog unless you give them the link or make them visit to your blog. However, for a new blog that has never been seen, there are many ways to get it out there and known.At first you should allow RSS feeds be taken from your blog by others. You should allow other websites and blogs to publish your same exact blog contains on their site or blog. When you do this, they are giving you a link back to your blog, and also telling their readers all about your blog. You will be generating most of the traffic than ever with the it.

Second thing should be considered is to regularly update your blog. Do not let your readers down as if you are telling your readers that you are going to update your blog daily, and not doing so will make your readers disbelieve in you.. If you tell them that you will be writing in your blog weekly, don't let them down. Your readers and visitors what makes your blog successful and it is the fact.If you are unsure don't tell your readers how often you will update your blog, that is OK. But think like this if you are reading a blog on daily or weekly basis, and the blog is of your interest and if you found no updates it will disappoint you.

While you are working on your readership base, and trying to gain readers, you are going to find that commenting on blogs that are relevant to yours will surely help. Find a blog that is on the same topic to yours, or close to it and leave comments. You can also make a track back with your blog postings to comment on your own blog. Doing so will probably more than likely give someone else the urge to track back to your blog. Which will be good for it as well. Commenting on blogs that get many comments will make yours be seen by those interested in that market. You will gain traffic and readers that way, and it is easy as well as free.

Learn and apply SEO to your blogs. SEO is search engine optimization. You are going to find that if you want your blog to go anywhere, you need SEO, and you need to know how to use it to the advantage of your blog. Just like a website, a blog will be better off optimized. The SEO is considered as the best weapon for your blog. People are ready to pay lots of money to hire SEO consultants and SEO tools for blogging.

Before creating a blog you have to keep some of the things in mind from the very starting that will help you to properly in your desired aim. If you are willing to become one of the most popular blogger or you wish to make your blog as popular in your niche your focus will have to be on the blog reader you are having. If your intention is to make money from blogging then you should realize that your income will be dependent upon the people who are visit your blog. These are the people who will eventually decide how popular your blog is or how successful your promoting is, so loosing readers ultimately cause you to loosing money in direct or indirect way. Just consider that you are writing for the readers not for yourself when your aim is to make money from your blog.

Here are the important things you should remember if you are counting it as a business blog or income earning blog.

If you are following some campaigns like selling products or marketing products then your reader should be know about the author . People will hesitate to purchase products if they are not knowing about the author or they are not familiar with him.

Comments on Other Blogs

Blogs are widely and very rapidly growing factions of the internet for they allow you to share any information you want. It is like a general website where you can do posting and these posts are arranged in some manner.
