Earning through blogging
Many people will be trying to survive the recession by blogging, either on this platform or on others (if you wish to blog on this platform, click this link to join). But the key to doing this successfully is keywords.
Keywords are the method by which search engines marry your content to the searches users are making, and if you add the correct keywords to your content, the engines will drive traffic to your site. It is only when you get traffic that you are able to make money from blogging.
I have been rather lax about picking keywords - usually when I blog, I just blog off the top of my head. However, I have been reading up on choosing keywords, and will aim to carefully apply the principles to this blog. I’ll report back in a few weeks on whether this is making a difference to my blog traffic.
