A Good Time is Blog Time

It can be pretty frustrating seeing a decent number of Adsense impressions being recorded for your blog or website but getting hardly any clicks on your ads, I was recently asked by a visitor to my blog how do you increase your Adsense revenue without shoving your ads in the face of your visitors.

Well to be perfectly honest there is good news and bad news associated with that question, the bad news is that you can’t really expect to increase adsense revenue while trying to hide your ads away, you need to make a decision do you want adsense revenue from your blog or not?

Once that is done finding and configuring a new template may not be quite as easy, there are lots of free templates available but you are at the mercy and skill of the person who put the code together and some are better than others, so you could be in for an easy ride or it could turn into a nightmare.

You may have noticed that I have been a little quiet on the posting front for the last week or so, this is because I am in the process of evaluating a new article marketing strategy and have been tied up in posting all the articles I have written to lots of different article directories.

This process is likely to continue for a while longer yet because not only do I intend posting all of my current articles, I am planning on writing a bunch more and getting them posted as well. You could be asking at this point what is the big deal with article marketing and the answer is pretty simple really:

• You write a load of articles on the topics you have published on the Internet
• At the end of the article is a resource section where you can put 2 sometimes 3 links to a URL of your choice
• You post the articles with as many article directories as you can
• Webmasters and bloggers go to the directories for content for their websites and blogs
• If they like your articles they post them on their websites or blogs including the links to your URLs
• Gradually your URLs gain more an more back links from all the posts that are made
• Backlinks = popularity = page ranking = traffic = sales and or readers
