This is a pretty informative thread. Just started working on a new blog this last weekend (http://angelfishfacts.info). I have made a few other blogs in the past that have failed, although I was using free domain names (co.cc) and sub domains which certainly wasn't the best thing to do. The website is obviously still a work in progress, hopefully by this weekend it will be more complete. I would appreciate some advice from people with experience using a static front page with the blog on another page? Another resource that I've learned from when it comes to blogging and ranking high in the search engines is http://challenge.co it's pretty much designed around creating a blog to get ranked high in Google.

I was looking through some of the blogs in the main post and it seems that quite a few people need to read Google's Adsense TOS (I know it's hard to actually read those things) which is found here https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=48182 The part that most people are missing is this quote:Google Advertising Cookies I know the English is pretty bad there, but Google wants you to have a privacy policy for your readers to disclose that Google Adsense is using cookies to track your users! You can get more information on what to actually put in the privacy policy from https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&answer=100557 Google has been known to shut down Adsense accounts because of this! Similar to this there are rules by the FCC that you are supposed to disclose that you site has affiliate links!

The Stu posted:I would suggest a picture, both because your theme does not have any color really and because search engines find it useful. Just be sure to make the image name / alt text the keyword that you are targeting. So in this case it would be 'angel fish facts'? Foter is a good source of royalty free images and they have a wordpress plugin too. Yea, images are pretty much the next step, I never heard of foter before though, after giving a look through, seems like a pretty good site and has some pretty nice photos that I will be using!

Well lets talk about backlinks! For those just starting out, when other sites link to your sites, google thinks your site is pretty good and moves you up the rankings! Although not all backlinks are the same, high PR backlinks are great. Even better are links coming from .edu and .gov websites. Getting links from .edu websites just takes a little searching with google! Here's what I do. Do a google search for anything followed by inurl:forum site:.edu, then you just have to go through the results and find a .edu forum that will let you register and create a profile with your blogs link in it! The following 3 .edu forums will let you post register and post a link to your blog! http://clubs.db.erau.edu/dbslavic/forum-phpbb2/index.php http://itu.edu/forum/index.php http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/index.php

dreesemonkey posted:I have a reasonable idea, I just need to follow through with it. I don't think a blogger template is going to be good enough for this one, and I've been out of the web design thing for quite some time. So - bleh. Get your own domain + hosting and install wordpress! You don't need to do any web design, just use wordpress and follow the instructions in the first post and you will be set. The blog I posted earlier is sitting at #11 now in Google for my main keyword (angelfish facts). Just need to get a few more good backlinks and I'll get to the top of the front page!

laxbro posted:I'm jealous. I was getting a few clicks a day, but I only get .05-.30 cents per click. The keyword I rank for shows an average bid of 2.50 in keyword planner, so I'm not sure why I'm getting paid so little. I would be estatic if I was getting more than $1.00/click. It's probably good to note that the CPC in keyword planner is the estimated cost to pay Google to place an ad. It's not what Google pays to the website that is running the ads.
