As more people, begin to see ebay affiliate revenue drop and drop to nothing, it is starting to become evident that ebay has made a huge error in judgement…

Looks like the news is in for Ebay, and it may not be the news they allegedly wanted to hear, the new programs, seem to have not worked in the way they had hoped, this happens, most of the time when you hire people that may be very smart and have PHDs, but have little or no real knowledge about how the internet or even how computers work, We just have to say good luck with that…

We have to ask this question because it looks like in the changes that ebay has made to its affiliate program that it is no longer friendly to most websites, which if this is the case that most of the affiliates will move to other programs where they can make money without being dependent on a system that has no clear under pinning.  This is a huge problem, but apparently Ebay cares not.

After all it would appear that Ebay has made a series of trouble some mistakes in the area of both customer satisfaction and seller satisfaction.

AS a seller since 1999 I can testify that I have moved to other markets so instead of selling and buying more I sell almost nothing through ebay and tend to buy from other marketplaces this is because of all the policies that are in effect at ebay that tend to favor everyone but the buyer and seller.

I suspect that this new system that ebay has invested in will backfire in a really bad way, but we will have to see how it works out in the long run, for now it is yet another dissapointment in a long run of troublesome and disappointing situations at ebay.

If no one sees it they will not come…

Imagine an ant hill, where all the ants did the same thing every day, they eat the same food every day, they listen to the same music every day, never a change, always a grey existence that never changes, that is what most websites are like these days, they just sit there withering away because no one is really visiting them, they are like that ant hill, full of ants, but for the most part no one in the entire world knows about those ants so they go about their lives, oblivious to the rest of the world.

That is what an Auto blog is like, an ant hill where everyone is busy busy busy, but no one knows about them…

Are you lazy?  If you are thats ok, lots of very successful are lazy, but there is one big difference.

They work smart, lazy but smart…

Chances are  you have seen these, ads that promise the moon for the auto blogging life style, the set it and forget it mind set.

But guess what, you already know, it does not work at all.

There are so many of these auto blogging platforms, from WordPress to literally more than you can imagine, each one claiming that they can give you what no one else can deliver.

The truth is that Auto Blogging does not work…

Perhaps that is not what you wanted to hear, but sadly it is the truth, I ran several blogs manually, posting every single day sometimes 10 to 12 times a day, sometimes more. I was able to achieve some success, I started getting some traffic, I started making a little from affiliate commissions, like ebay and amazon and yes even adsense.

But then I made a huge mistake, I got lazy…

I started looking for an easier way to do the same thing and get me here there is nothing wrong with that ok, but and here is where I went wrong, you have to know that what you are doing is the right thing to do.

My mistake, cost me several High PR website ratings.

I paid more than $150 for an auto blogging platform, which was reputed to be better than anything out there, it was touted to work when everything else failed to work, but after loosing my PR ratings where I used this auto-blogging platform, I finally realized what I had done wrong, I trusted what someone else told me, just so they could make a few bucks.

So actually I spent a lot of money trying out different systems, I even tried paying a Virtual Assistant to post for me so I could see if that would work, but sadly that too failed, because I found that you have to have at least some interest in what you are posting about.

If you have ever had a good PR ranking then you know how important it can be to building your level of success, because once you get one good ranking, you can use that to link to lower ranked blogs and in turn improve their rankings, it really is a building block to your success.

There may be a few that are successful with auto blogging, but so far I have not see the first one that can say they are successful for more than 30 to 60 days, because, I saw some good traffic in that period, but after that it all went bad, and then it went from bad to worse.

So why does auto blogging software fail to achieve what the people selling them claim?

One of the most important things you can do for your blog is to give it that human touch and that is not often easy to do with automated software, the reason for this is that every single one of these auto blogging software solutions, leaves behind a trail, usually it is something small, like the same type of formatting post after post.

It is this trail that alerts the search engines that something is not right about the blog you might wonder why it matters, all I can tell you is that it does matter and it matters a lot, because you can go from a great rank to no rank and you can go from great traffic to no traffic and that is definitely not what you want.

So the next time you see an auto blogging software special and you read about how you can just set it up once and just forget it, just remember that you read it here, it is a waste of your money and unless you plan on monitoring and baby sitting your blog, you will never see any measurable success.

Bloggers and Blogees, Are you blogging to the bank?

If you have been trying to blog and have found that you just cant seem to get up to speed then read on.

If you have been around for even a short time in the blogging world you know, for every one article on blogging there are ten that claim you can become a millionaire over night from blogging, yet few people ever even make one thin dime blogging.

We know that becoming a millionaire from blogging alone is not very likely.

However making money from blogging is possible and in fact if you follow one of many possible guides in this area you are likely to have at least some success, the operative word here is some success, however there are still many people that believe in the do nothing get rich lie and this is a lie make no mistake about it.

There is no such thing as a free lunch and yes virginia there is a santa clause.

Blogging is all about original content and research, those two things make a huge difference in how your blog works for you instead of against you, knowing how to do the research and what to blog about is crucial to your success as a blogger and in fact keeping up to date with your content is crucial to your success.

Using adsense is almost a dead science yet so many attempt to depend on it to make money.

Is adsense really dead as so many are beginning to say?  The answer to that may be a big fat yes, adsense as an advertising medium is still of some advantage however as a publisher there are far more profitable mediums out there that can bring in more money and less stress than trying to keep up with the adsense boogooloo and the quagmire that is google.

So if adsense is no longer the best way to monetize my blog then what is the real answer?

Social marketing?

Forum marketing?

What Works?

These are good questions and they are on just about everyone’s mind these days, how do I create the best posts that get the attention of the search engines. Readers of blogs these are the people you want to reach, the same people that read and click, that is what it is all about, reaching out to the people online that want to read the information that you provide.

Blogging is not just one person making posts on a website that no one reads, blogging is a lot more than just that but it is an important part of the ongoing success of creating websites online as well as producing traffic and interested readers of your blog, blogging success is more about content and using SEO techniques to link to your blog and using links from other blogs to create more interest in your blog by SEO search engines.

When is a secret not a secret?

There are a few secrets that once you realize how it works you will be surprised at what you can accomplish in blogging, these secrets are really not as secret as you might imagine but they can be difficult to understand unless you have a background in website creation and website production, marketing in this brave new world can be a challenge and even with all the tricks and tips you can find often it is just not enough.

The secret that is no secret…

what is that and how does it work?

Well the secret is effort, but it is not the only thing you need, you also need to put some effort and a little elbow grease into your blog and you will find success, wait don’t go anywhere there is a lot more, however it is important to realize that if you are thinking that you can do nothing and still make money then chances are you will not succeed in the blogging world.

It takes effort and that is something that is difficult for many to hear because they have heard all these stories that tell them they can make all this money and fame by blogging alone, when the truth is that blogging alone is not likely to result in success by itself.

So you might ask, what can I do to get better results in blogging?

Well the answer to that question is many fold, there are several things you can do but diversification is the key to winning in this competitive blogging world.  Take for instance the link that most of you just clicked, just above this line, if you did not click on it then you are missing out on something that is very important.

This is not a new thing but it is something that has been called by many different names over the years, call it integrated marketing, complimentarily awkward, however it does work and if you can find out what compliments your blog and what things that you can promote in your blog that runs along side your blog in just the right way then you have discovered what integrated marketing is all about.

While this may sound difficult it really is not, in fact in a recent commercial featuring a well known product, at the end of the commercial they featured an integrated product lets say for the sake of conversation that a company is selling grills and at the last 15 seconds of the commercial they have a small commercial for barbeque sauce, that is integrated marketing at its best, if you can find those two components of your blogging system that helps you identify what products go together then you can really do a lot better.

Are you going to get rich now?

Probably not, but you will certainly see more success if you apply these marketing techniques to your blogging and there are still more things that you can do to create more success and interest in your blogging stories.

Doing the research, keywords and keyword research is often one of the most boring things to do in fact it is often so boring that most bloggers do not bother doing it, which is a huge mistake, keyword research is one of those secrets that is no secret and it is something that you have to learn how to do in order to be more successful online.

So how do you find keyword and keyword phrases?

One way is to search them using keyword tools which you can get online and there are also some tools that are very expensive, I do not recommend them unless you are actually making money online, if you are just doing this as a hobby then you need to do it the hard way, that is the way of the blogging world, there is the hard way and there is the harder way, the harder way is what you have to do when you are not making much money online.

There is nothing wrong with that, because believe it or not 98 percent of online bloggers get little or no traffic and on top of that they get little or no money from that blogging even after reading ebook after ebook on the subject of making money blogging.

First take a few moments to get familiar with using a couple of good tools online for finding good keywords.

Tool one is the google adwords tool, which is located here.

The second one is Word Tracker which is a little more difficult to learn how to use in the right way but it can help you better define the keywords you are looking for when you do keyword research.

Use software to get the most out of your keyword research…

Do some searches and find out what people are searching for online.

Just what is a blog anyway, believe it or not there are a lot of people out there that just have no idea what a blog actually is or even what it is used for and no its not a new kind of donut, but if it were what king of blog donut would you have?

blogging is the act of writing down aspects about your life experience and writing articles about everything from gardens to how to balance your check book and there are a lot of people that could benefit from that last one I can tell you. 

Blog hosting is not that hard to come by but choosing the right host is very important just choose the wrong one once and you will forever live in fear of making the same mistake again. 

One of the most important parts of owning a blogging platform is ease of use and by far the easiest one to use is wordpress. 

wordpress is a free software that you can install that allows you to create your own blog and blogging is a very popular thing to do these day it does not matter if you are on the right or the left or in the middle blogging is for everyone. 

There are a lot of different blogging software programs out there but there are few that actually do the whole job, if you are looking for blogging software that does it all for you, then you may be out of luck. 

There are tons of products out there for wordpress  literally thousands upon thousands of templates, you can get a blog template for just about any type of theme that you might want to have from law to royalty and more.

blog site 

You can find a topic of information for a blog site for just about anything you can think of, just google blog and see what you can find, it is amazing how much information that is out there. 

So get busy already, blogging is fun and it can make you money as well.
