  • As there is a good group of us on here, we should come up with ideas to send our traffic to each others sites as much as possible. Maybe we should have a blogger challenge where some of us work together on a project for our blogs?

    What you suggest is just about the worst thing you can do for adsense. You need quality, interested, genuine, organic traffic and nothing else.

    Really? I know a few bloggers that do it and it works just fine.

  • Since August I have earnt... 45p XD

    That's just through page clicks though. I don't really understand the adsense part of it?

    We could privately arrange to guest post on each other's (relevant) blogs. Getting free content is certainly in the spirit of money saving and the poster will receive the benefit of a backlink.

    Somebody could start a thread where each of us replies stating what sort of block we have by specifying the category and provided keywords.

    The URL need not be mentioned and anyone interested can simply private message the poster with a solicited proposal.

    I get around 100 - 150 views a day but want to figure out how to get more visitors to make comments and become followers!

    You get visitors to your blog by the content of your blog.You write about any current technology then it will get more visitors.can try SEO if there is any free tool.
  • Blogging is a lot of commitment up front before any money is going to come in. Most abandon their blogs before they get to that point, or end up using them as a rant platform and nothing else. there is a huge blogging community of all subjects in the UK, but income isn't consistent and most of it is contrary to Google webmaster guidelines and if you break those, blogs might as well not exist. Long term future of blogs is not fellow bloggers, but search engine referrals.

    It is way more than just starting a blog, but yes, beginning writing is the most important thing to do with it.

    Check out the MyBlogGuest site. Pretty much geared up for exactly this, guest post sharing and hook up. Very good, for finding guest posts or blogs to guest on, that match your niche. Definitely worth getting on board.
