Online Business, Internet Marketing & Related Topics
If you have read my previous post, which is about harmony between blog branding and monetization (making money from your blog) you’ve read why I am treating newmediatype with ’silk’ gloves in regard of blog monetization.
In this light, someone asked me yesterday about how I’m planning to ‘ensure’ that this blog will generate enough income and more importantly, a long term steady income from this blog. This is a question that many new bloggers who want to earn money with blogs are thinking about. The answer isn’t that hard though … Read more »
When you check out the posts that are on newmediatype, along with the way the blog is branded it’s easy to notice that part of the mission is to help people that are using the web as a business platform improve their online results. This means there are tips for bloggers who want to make some money online but there also are more in depth articles about promoting and branding your blog effectively. You’ll probably even find some articles about starting your own home based business when I get some more time to write.
Indirectly most topics on newmediatype have something to do with making money on the web, be it as a business or as an individual. The nature of newmediatype, not surprisingly, attracts readers who are seeking information about online business related subjects, so logically I get the “whats the secret to making a as much money online from a blog as possible ?” question quite often.
Well, being a business communication student (specializing in marketing communication soon) I’ve thought about this question many times, and I believe there actually is an answer …
Just got a post in my feed download from john chow in which he has embedded a video from youtube in which some guys are singing a silly web 2.0 bubble song. I’ve embedded it myself in this post because there’s something I’d like to say about web bubbles. When I started out freelancing in the web development industry, everybody was talking about how the first web bubble had exploded. Suddenly everyone thought there was no more money to make on the web and that was that. During that time I even had a shoe salesman tell me that he didn’t understand why I was still in web development. ‘The internet is over !’ he said.
This post is about expressing a different view about internet bubbles, what they are and why it might not happen again. I disagree with many opinions that people have about web bubbles. In addition, it’s amazing how opinions, which aren’t always based on understanding spread like wildfire through the online and off line business world.
But first, let’s take a closer look at a bubble …
If you are like me, then you’ll try to take as many things into account in order to ensure success of your web business activities. This can be very difficult when you’re working on a subject that is, to a certain degree in flux. I am referring to search engine optimization.
I call seo ‘in flux’ because we know many factors that are important for achieving good search engine positioning, but at the same time it’s always the question when and how the current situation, in regard of how rankings are calculated might change or which things Google and other search engines plan to penalize you for.
When you’re a web entrepreneur or a web professional, and you have a reasonable amount of knowledge of how things on the web work you’re always thinking of ways to get ahead. This means that most of the time you balance on the edge of what’s acceptable and what’s not. So how do you draw the line, and where do you draw it ?
It seems to me that the best way to get the most effective results in search engine optimization is to include common sense into the equation.
I’m going to provide you with some tips and conclusions (based on common sense) that I came up with and which I like to fall back on while working on web projects.Keeping these factors in mind makes it easier for me to make decisions.
Hopefully, this post will also offer some of whom are struggling with seo some helpful insights. If you, the readers have a ideas for some more points, then I’d love to hear them as well.
But now, let’s get to it …
