WebDev Connection - 22 October 2007

by Deceth

John Chow has a great article about How to Make Direct Ad Sales. One important point that he brings up is that you should wait until you have enough traffic before your try making direct ad sales. Focus on building traffic before monetizing it!

Darren Rowse has a good article about linking to yourself and using anchor text properly. Many people don’t realize how important anchor text is! It doesn’t take long to do properly, so take the time to link right!

Freelance Switch has some good tips for handling multiple projects all at once! If you are working for yourself, remain disciplined and give yourself real deadlines to follow. It is very important that you try to work on one project at a time and that you actually finish the projects!

Chris Garret asks if blogging is a good way to make money. In my opinion blogging is a very enjoyable way to make money. The only tricky part is actually making the money!

Bloggrrl brings up the importance of traffic in her article: Money isn’t Really the Currency of the Internet… Traffic Is! Without traffic you won’t make money from your website, simple as that! So how do you go out and get this traffic? Unfortunately all those people browsing the internet won’t just happen to fall on your site unless you make sure there are as many possible doorways in! Comment on other sites and submit your articles wherever you can! I suggest submitting them to WriterDatabase.com! Read more about WriterDatabase.com here!

Autumn Losing Leaves

Just like seasons change, so must your blogging strategy. Stay informed with whats going on in the blogosphere so you don’t lose all your traffic like a tree loses its leaves in Autumn. The best way to keep your website on track is to write quality content so that other websites link to you! Don’t rely on the Google Monster for traffic because any changes to the Google algorithm could then potentially ruin your site! Blog regularly so that you start to get regular visitors and form strong relationships with other websites to give your blog a solid foundation.
