Networking

As with any business anywhere in the world, networking is undoubtedly one of the most important thing you can do to succeed. Basically, networking is just making relationships with people that can help you in the future with your business. Major businessman often times get their start from a job that a friend thought might fit them well. You might be thinking, well how does this apply to my current situation with websites and blogging? Well the answer is that any time you are making money you are dealing with business. This blog, in a way, is a business because I am trying to make money with adsense ads. Every time someone clicks on my adds I geta certain amount of money with no cost to them. So, of course, I try to determine the best placement of my ads and the best colors to increase my chances that someone visiting the site will click on them.

Anyway, basically you want as many links to your site or blog as possible. If you have a lot, that means that people don't have to type in your long web adress to get to your blog or website, they might be on another site and click on a link.

One really simple ways to get more money is exchanging links with website or blog owners in the same field as you. If you are writing a website about football, visit other sports and football blogs and e-mail the owner asking for a link exchange. They'll know what you're talking about. Basically, you'll put a link to their website on your own website, and they'll do the same for you. Also, you can just visit a bunch of website like yours and leave a comment with a link to your site at the bottom. If you seem interested in helping them out, many times they will feel obliged to help you out some to me in the future too. What's good about leaving comments is that not only will the website or blog owner see it, everybody else who leaves a comment is likely to see it and read it too. Just comment and post links on as many blogs and websites as you can and you will see your traffic go up, and along with traffic comes revenue. These methods of networking will help you out both short term and long term and will continue benefitting you for as long as your website or blog is in service.
