From Zero To SEO

Do you know why Technorati loses money? They didn’t monetize the most popular page – Doh! The Technorati Monster escaped again.

Instead of making money they are working to resolve “the issue”. This is bad monetizing strategy. Don’t show an empty webpage. Put a banner or join affiliate program. Link exchange is worth trying. But the real thing is Donate button.

Guys! You can spend profit on cocktail parties, Yahoo and Google stocks, ladies, NASCAR, The World Cup 2010, NHL and Las Vegas trip. But don’t forget about me guys! I want my 10 percents or link to my blog from the Technorati Monster page :).

The annual performance evaluation is the event that most people wait. It is important financial milestone in our life. I got used to it. But my employer says that I won’t receive salary increase this year. “Economy is in a recession now.” What a surprise! It seems to me that I underestimated the impact of the financial crisis!

Should I find another job? Nobody guarantees that next employer will keep promises. They always offer you the excellent compensation package with annual reviews. But it’s not gonna work. I’d better put more effort into blogging. And see why.

According to the Technorati State of the Blogosphere / 2008 report, the average annual revenue is more than $6,000 (median $200). It does motivate me. Maybe not enough to impress you? Then what stops you from starting several blogs simultaneously? Don’t tell me that you don’t have time for it. More than a half of bloggers spend less than 5 hours weekly blogging. Quit watching TV or playing video games and you’ll find time. Turn your wasted time into profit.

I have to admit that I have already earned some money from my blog. I published three posts and one page only, but it already brings money. I know that some people who don’t have a blog yet, can earn much more than me. They simply don’t take it seriously. But if you never try, you will never know.
