What is your Blog worth?

Ever wondered if its possible to sell your blog and how much it might be worth? If you have been a reader of this blog for a while you will know that the original owner sold it last year for $9,500. Not a huge amount in the big business sense, but then again hardly peanuts.
So how do you find out the worth of your blog. Well firstly lets make some assumptions here. You have ad revenue, you have RSS subscribers and you have more than single digit page views everyday.
There is a very useful tool called cubestat which will do the calculation for you.

As you can see from the screenshot, having entered the URL it returns some pretty nice information. An estimated value, the number of page views and the estimated ad revenue. Nice to be able to track this type of information if you are considering a sale. Of course, an estimated value doesn’t necessarily equate to a sales price, especially in this economy.
If nothing else you can find out the value of your favorite blogs. Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Contextual Ads and Affiliate Programs- Why Topics matter

Why Topic Matters
Contextual Ads - Different topics and keywords within topics will trigger different ads in contextual ad programs and as a result will earn different levels ‘per click).
Affiliate Programs - Similarly, different topics will open up different levels of earnings when it comes to affiliate programs. For example a blog about books that uses the Amazon program is only ever likely to make small commissions per sale as the average book might only be worth $20 and the commission with Amazon is generally in the 5-8% range. On the other hand I know of publishers in the financial website game who use affiliate programs that can pay out at $100 per sale.
Indirect Methods - Obviously different opportunities (with different income earning potential) arise for bloggers with a profile in different niches. For example a blogger known for his movie review blog might not have much demand for consulting work but could find a way to syndicate his blog to magazines or newspapers. A blogger with a good profile in the PR industry might not get picked up as a writer in magazines but could land himself a well paying job or some consulting work.
Age of Blog: - a good wine matures with age - as do many profitable blogs (and most profitable businesses for that matter). There are many reasons why this is the case and while some blogs do seem to rise from nowhere to dominate the blogosphere - most do not. Here’s a few reasons why blogs tend to get better with age:
Quantity of content - I find myself saying this to new bloggers repeatedly but don’t expect to get a lot of traffic to your blog until you have a substantial level of content in your archives. Of course quality of content is vital, but at least at some level numbers of posts do count and unless you’re going sell your soul and to get into splogging quantities of content take time.
Search Engine Optimization - While some SEO experts claim they can have you at the top of Search Engines quickly (and some can), sustaining high rankings through legitimate methods means building a site over time. Climbing the rankings in SE’s is the result of many things including good content (lots of it) that gets links from others - both things that take time.
Reputation - Building an online profile and presence takes time n the same way that it takes time in real life. People look for consistency in your blogging overtime and will want to see that you not only talk the talk but walk the walk. As you do this you’ll find your readership grows.
Network - Connected with a good reputation comes networking opportunities. I shudder when I look back at my first blogging efforts and how naive, ill-informed and poorly run they were. I have a long way to go when it comes to learning about the web, blogs, design, writing etc and I stil have alot to learn I guess we really have to take a long time before we actually lern everything there is to know but as long as we try and put forth an effort this is what counts through trial and error we will learn. You can read all the books, blogs and articles you want on blogging (and I’d encourage you to do so) - but so much of what you can learn about blogging for money has to come from on the job experience - which again only comes with time.
Time Invested: Lastly I’ll add that the time a blogger is willing and able to invest into their blog is a factor worth considering. One thing I do know is that if you want to make your blog succeed you also have to invest alot of time into it and I because Im ill cannot do this altho I wish I could blog all the time all day , like a regular job but I cannot. But many of you may be able to invest more time into your blog. This is a bit of a catch 22 situation of course (the more you earn the more time you can put in and the more time you put in the more you can earn) So How Much Can a Blog Earn?
I’m not about to put a definitive answer on it except to say that every blog is different and the evidence that I’ve seen from interacting bloggers and their blogs over the past year is that bloggers are earning anything between nothing at all and millions of dollars. The upper end of the spectrum is of course rare and those earning very little are in the majority, but bloggers earning decent income is becoming increasingly common. Probably the best way to find out what you can earn from a particular blog is to start that blog and test the waters.
Give yourself a time limit of a few months to get a feel for the topic and see how it goes. While it’s important to realize that a few months is not really enough - it is enough to get an understanding for whether it’s a topic you feel you can sustain, what the click values and CTR might be in contextual ads and even to get a feel for what type of readers you’ll attract. This blog is fairly new and I will not lie I only have a few readers visiting but hopefully more readers will find this blog informative and come back and tell their friends about it if not I will just have to keep trying..... If the signs are good - invest more time into it - if they are not, consider trying something else. Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

What Others Say About Good Keywords
"Early on, traffic to our site was sporadic. We'd have 1,000 visitors one day and 50 the next. We needed a way to get steady traffic, every day. I looked at other sites and noted their traffic, using a free software package from goodkeywords.com. That software enabled me to look at my competition and measure the popularity of their sites"
Richard Haberkern (an engineer and cameraman in the sports broadcasting and filmmaking industries) quoted in LA Times (LEARNING CURVE; Low-Cost Resources Developed Sales at Cameraman's Web Site The Los Angeles Times; Los Angeles, Calif.; Jun 25, 2001; KAREN E. KLEIN;)

Danny Sullivan in the subscriber area of Search Engine Watch
"First, get yourself a copy of Good Keywords (from http://goodkeywords.com). This free software is my crystal ball into the world of desirable online products. It queries a number of popular search engines and in many cases it will tell me exactly what I should be selling online"

How to Download Images from Your Digital Camera to Your PC

Although most digital cameras come with their own software, Windows Vista has its own built-in wizard for downloading (or importing) images. (If your camera comes with its own downloading software, download your images with that program.) If your camera or card reader is supported within Windows Vista (check the manufacturer’s Web site or the specifications on the side of the box), you can use the Scanner and Camera Wizard to download images:


Enlarge1Connect the cable that came with your camera (or your external card reader) to the corresponding port on your PC.
This port is very likely your PC’s USB port. The Scanner and Camera Wizard screen appears when you plug in the USB cable from your camera.

Enlarge2If you want to assign an optional tag to the images from this camera, click in the Tag These Pictures text box and type the description.
By default, Vista uses the tag you enter to name the images and videos when they’re imported. For example, if you enter the tag Fun Photos, the filenames are Fun Photos 001.jpg, Fun Photos 002.jpg, and so on.

Enlarge3Click Import to begin downloading the images.
After the download is complete, Windows Vista automatically opens the Windows Photo Gallery with the photos you just downloaded in the pane on the right side of the window.

After the images have been transferred, you can unplug your camera’s cable. If you’re done with your images, you can close the Photo Gallery application.

Top 9 Methods to increase your Alexa Ranking

In order to increase your Alexa ranking you must be proactive in your strategies and plan your steps carefully to succeed. With the right Alexa ranking you can demand higher prices from current advertisers and attract new advertisers just the same.If you want to increase your Alexa ranking, there are a few things you can do right now to get there. Remember in order to move up in your Alexa rank, you have to bump someone out. You are competing for someone else's ranking and you better be willing to do what it takes to achieve a higher ranking.
Below is the Top 9 methods to increase your blog Alexa ranking:1. Sign up for an Alexa traffic exchange program such as http://www.upmyrank.com , the large numbers of users can boost your Alexa ranking dramatically.2. Be sure to install the Alexa toolbar for Internet Explorer and Firefox. Additionally be sure to set your website as the default homepage for both browsers. Be sure to use each browser when you are online as each will have a different toolbar id and may be seen as 2 different users.3. Put up the Alexa rank widget on your website. While the exact effects are unknown, it seems to help give the site a slight boost.4. Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar. This includes friends, fellow webmasters as well as site visitors. Be sure to link to Alexa's full explanation of their toolbar and tracking system so your readers know what installing the toolbar or extension entails. Additionally you may want to ask your close relatives to install the toolbar and set your homepage as their main site.5. Have co-workers or own a company? Get the Alexa toolbar and SS Firefox extension installed on all computers and set your website as the homepage for all browsers. Perhaps it will be useful to note that this may work only when dynamic or different IPs are used.6. Write or host content about Alexa. Webmaster and bloggers love to hear about ways to increase their Alexa rank. They'll link to you and send you targeted traffic (i.e. visitors with the toolbar already installed). This gradually has effects on your Alexa ranking.7. Publicized your URL in webmaster forums. Webmasters usually have the toolbar installed. You'll get webmasters to visit your website and offer useful feedback. It's also a good way to give back to the community if you have useful articles to share with others. Be careful not to spam boards as you could be banned from the forum or worse have your site terminated by your host.8. Write content that is related to webmasters. This can fall in the category of domain and SEO, two fields in which most webmasters will have the Alexa toolbar installed. Promote your content on social networking websites and webmaster forums. Feel free to place the article on your website!9. Create a webmaster tools section on your website. This is a magnet for webmasters who will often revisit your website to gain access to the tools.Note:* Alexa redirects option is no longer supported by Alexa........ by BlogTactic

Practicing Optimization Habits as You Blog

For several years, an Internet marketing field called search engine optimization has been growing in influence. Abbreviated as SEO, search engine optimization involves writing and design skills that make a Web site (blog or nonblog) higher in search results listings than a nonoptimized site. Search engines (such as Google, Yahoo!, or MSN Search) look for certain qualities and site characteristics, and use these cues to determine how good a site is, how closely it matches a searcher's keywords, and how it should appear on a result page for those keywords. Savvy Webmasters improve their search-engine visibility by optimizing their pages according to principles that tend to improve search ranking. There is no reason why bloggers should not do the same thing.

Keep your pages short
Because blogs tend to feature short bursts of content, with each entry on its own page, they are optimized for optimization, so to speak. Blogs are perfect for SEO because one of the most important optimization principles is to keep your pages short and highly topical. So, if you write a blog about folk music, you might post an entry about the Celtic band Filska; as long as that entry doesn't veer off-topic, you end up with a naturally optimized Web page.

Keep your pages on-topic
It is important to stay on-topic with each entry. Posting a long entry about Filska that also discusses other Celtic bands broadens the page's focus and dulls its optimization. Naturally, you want to feel free to write naturally in your blog. Optimization principles shouldn't inhibit your style. But for the most part, good optimization is good for your visitors, not just good for your traffic. People don't have a lot of time, and they like to land on Web pages that are clearly about one thing. That goes for blog entry pages as much as for any other type of page.

Be mindful of keywords
Search engines match Web pages to keywords people search for. If you want better visibility in search engines, use the keywords you think your readers would be searching with. Don't use them arbitrarily or indiscriminately; doing so is called keyword stuffing or keyword spam and is easily detected by search engines. Sites are penalized in search listings for trying to game the system. The trick here is to write your entries to the point, so that they are clearly topical to your readers and to the search engines.

Make your entry titles count
It is amazing how many entry titles have nothing to do with the entry. This point is an optimization downfall for many bloggers. A scathing criticism of a public figure might be titled "It's an outrage!" and never mention the public figure's name. An entry about that Celtic band Filska might be titled "The most beautiful fiddle music I ever heard," without relating the band's name. Blogs are famously informal and personal, but you miss an important chance to optimize your entry pages by not putting key topical words in your titles. And your readers might thank you for being clearer in your headings, too.

The Essential Guide to Growing Your Blog on Minimal Time

If you’re like most bloggers, you probably want to grow your readership as quickly as possible, but don’t have much time.

Unfortunately, blogging usually takes a lot of time — writing blog posts takes up a fraction of most bloggers’ time, as they also check their stats and earning multiple times a day, customize their blog design, try out new blog ad systems, comment on many different blogs, spend a lot of time doing email, and so on.

If you let it, blogging can become two full-time jobs. But get this: you can grow your blog quickly on very minimal time, by setting limits and focusing on the essentials.

I’m just one example: I grew Zen Habits into a Top 100 blog within its first year even though I was working a full-time job and doing free-lance writing on the side — giving me only about an hour a day to work on my blog, total. I probably could have spent more time blogging by working in the evenings or on weekends, but I have a family that’s more important to me than blogging.

So how did I grow Zen Habits so quickly on so little time? Well, I figured out through experimentation what grows a blog the quickest, and I learned to focus my time on those things. And guess what? Checking your blog stats and earnings — even though it’s the thing than many bloggers do most throughout the day — doesn’t really grow your blog, at all. What does? More on that below.

Limits
The key to growing your blog with minimal time investment is to set limits on how much time you’ll spend blogging. As I said, blogging can easily expand to fill your entire day, if you let it. In fact, whatever time you allocate to blogging is the time that blogging will take.

So limit your time to something manageable … for me that was 1 hour a day, for others it might be two hours or even three, and for still others it might only be 30 minutes. It really depends on how much time you have. Don’t spend less than 30 minutes on blogging, though, if you’re really serious about it. I’d say an hour to two is ideal. Any more than that and you’re not really setting limits.

So what happens if you set a limit of say, 1 hour? You could waste that hour by doing fruitless tasks, and then your blog will get nowhere. But if you’re smart, you’ll focus on the key tasks that will really help your blog, and nothing else. By setting limits, you’ll force yourself to choose only the most essential tasks.

If you gave yourself 4 hours a day, you could do a lot of tasks, but maybe only 1 out of 4 of those tasks would really grow your blog. If you gave yourself 1 hour a day, you’d have to eliminate 3 out of 4 of those tasks to fit within the time limit, and (again, if you’re smart), you’ll choose the most effective tasks.

Set a timer each day and work within the time limit. And while you’re doing so, be sure to do the most effective tasks first, and if you have time left, go to the next most effective tasks, and so on. This is a post from Leo Babauta of Zen Habits, author of the new best-selling book, The Power of Less.

Using a Blackberry can be addictive

Hearing a "phantom ring" (or experiencing a phantom vibration) and constantly checking e-mail are signs of BlackBerry addiction. Experts say e-mail and text messages may feed the ego because they make people feel important. Treatment for CrackBerry or similar addictions (such as an Internet or e-mail obsession) involves, evidently, interrupting the pattern. Source: The Web.. Be Sure to Leave Your Comments!

Google has Updated another PageRank

It seems that Google has did another PageRank update. Some new websites I developed recently have acquired a PageRank whilst others have not so there’s a chance they are still updating.
You can check your blogs PageRank in your browser if you have the Google Toolbar installed. If not, you can check it out at a PageRank checking website like PRChecker.
