Money Making Blogs

If you want to get more relevant links to your blog or website, you’ll either have to go out and look for link exchanges (usually emailing the webmaster of the site you wish to exchange links with) or have interested webmasters come to you requesting for links. You can simplify the process using Link Metro where you can sign up for free and manage all your link requests. The user interface is very easy to navigate and the website directory is neatly divided into different categories.

The main categories are:
Art and humanities
Business and industry
Computers
Health and fitness
Internet
News and media
Recreation
Society
Sports

Each category is also subdivided into smaller categories.

I was just spending some time surfing on Blog Explosion which by the way is a good way of generating traffic to your blog. If your blog is still new and you’ve got some time on your hands, it’s worth signing up for a free account at Blog Explosion. When you surf other blogs, you’ll get credits which will be applied to your account. The more credits you accumulate, the more visitors you’ll get in return. While you’re surfing, take note of the different designs and how other people are monetizing their blog.

If you would like to find out what a niche blog looks like, you can take a look at the Alaska Blog. I like the design, though I think the Adsense might do better if they had kept the traditional blue color for links and black color for the font. You could make a similar blog based on a different location. And to go for a more specific target audience you could write, for example, only about restaurants in the area.

The Alaska Blog is written by Taughnee Stone and she also chronicles her efforts on the initial starting phase of getting the blog up and running.

Ever wonder what others are making with Adsense?
