Creating revenue with your blog a comparison
Posted by: | CommentsI was coaching a blogger yesterday evening and we were discussing her revenue goals for her blog. During the conversation a top ‘mom blog’ that reportedly earns over $4000 a month in ad revenue was brought up.
When considering your revenue goals for your blog you need to be realistic about the amount of work involved to get to that revenue goal. The site mentioned in our discussion was started in 2001. That is nine full years of building organic traffic to her site.
Some more info on the blog:
Google PageRank: 6
Alexa Rank: 12,638
Google BackLinks: 7,050
Yahoo BackLinks: 1,337,267
Today’s question for bloggers. Take a top performing blog with a similar audience to yours and compare it to your blog. This should help you set some goals around promoting your blog.
Here are a few handy tools to do so:
1) PopURI
2) Google Trends
3) Market Leap
4) Spy Fu
5) Attention Meter
6) Ranking.com
7) Alexa
Way back Machine - look at the blog over the years.

Using WordPress 2.7 ’s add plug in feature
Posted by: | CommentsI usually am not happy when I have to navigate my way around a new version of any software application. However. WordPress 2.7 has so many great new features I feel like a girl in a candy shop everyday since upgrading to WordPress 2.7.
Today I finally used the Add New Plugin feature. I have been wanting to test out a plug in to help me organize my Blog Post Ideas and decided to get it uploaded this evening.
The plug in was already downloaded onto my desktop, though I wanted to try out the integrated page that allowed you to search for a plug in.
My attempt to search by author did not locate the plug in at Word Press, so I stopped by the Official WordPress Plugins Repository to locate the plug in myself to locate the tags used to describe the plug in.
