Ryan's Top Shelf

The best thing about blogging is that there are no rules.  You can write about anything you want.
A self-publisher’s dream!   There are some things you can do though to maximize your Google Adsense
profits.  Narrow your subject.  Don’t just write about shopping.  Write about shopping for antique
dresser drawer pulls.  Write every day. Have a blog at more than one site. If you develop a
readership, you’re more likely to increase your profits.

Write about something you know or want to know or at the very least care about. If you try to write
a great blog based on a “hot keyword” yet it’s something you could care less about, you’ll likely
not stay with it long. Experiment and see what works for you. You can write based on your own
opinion or something factual. You can review a product or service or a movie.  Read other people’s
blogs and notice how many reads they’re getting.  Above all, have fun.  After all, it’s free and if
you’re persistent you’ll see your Google Adsense dollars adding up.

Choosing The Right Free Blogging Tools

There are many free blogging tools on the market, but loading up your blog with all of the free
accessories that you can find isn’t necessarily a good idea. While it may be tempting to add a
visitor counter, a flashy background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of quirky animated gifs
to your blog, this kind of plan can easily backfire. The key to getting the most from free blog
tools is being selective.

It is a great idea to learn about all of the kinds of free blogging tools that are available so
that you can make an informed decision about what to add to your blog, but try to remember that
just because you can have something doesn’t mean that you need it. Practice restraint and only
choose the options that you think will really be useful. If you can find out how many visitors are
reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics, a visitor counter is likely to add
unnecessary clutter to your page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy background can be more of a
distraction than an benefit. Be realistic about assessing what kinds of blog accessories will help
you realize your vision and improve your site. Remember that even a blog tool that doesn’t cost you
any cash may not be an asset in the long run.
