Bloggers Checklist for a Money Making Blog

Bloggers Checklist

Below are some of the crucial items you should have on your
Blog. Take a look at this list and your Blog and see how
you measure up. I can tell you that I did it myself and I
had to create an action plan to fix my own Blog.

You see, just because I know what needs to be done doesn't
mean I always have time to implement it myself.

It is like the shoe cobbler's children going to school with
their shoes falling apart. I am so busy helping clients,
I don't have time to work on my own things.

The same may be true for you. You are so busy but you know
you want to, actually you need to, Blog. So you start it
and don't necessarily have everything in place.

That's OK. The key is to find out where you are lacking
and create an action plan so you can take steps towards
getting everything in place,

So, here is your checklist. Do you have:

A strategy in place? Do you know why are you Blogging?
What are you hoping to accomplish? Do you know how often
you have to Blog, what types of posts you need in order to
accomplish your objective?

A posting schedule? Ideally you should have at least 2 new
posts a week, and up to 5. Less than 2 is too little, and
over 5 is often too much (unless you are a great writer and
have lots of news and information to share, so you aren't
just writing fluff).

A comment policy? Do you moderate? If so, how long does it
take to approve comments.

An 'About Us' section? Since Blogging is about connecting,
sharing information and creating dialog to form
relationships, you need to be sure to tell people who you
are and what you are all about. Including contact
information is a good idea

A Blogroll? Be sure to include NON company links. Point
your readers to sites/blogs that you think THEY would be
interested in reading. Yes, you can add your website, but
please mix in some non-company sites as well to show people
you are truly interested in being a resource for them.

RSS subscriber buttons? Give your readers a way to
subscribe to your Blog, via a feed reader. Feedburner is a
quick and easy way to get this done.

Photos, graphs or charts to create visual interest.

Videos to engage users.

Personality and opinions so people feel they are really
hearing your voice and not just some regurgitated industry
news.

Links back to relevant pages on your website.

A custom header graphic that doesn't take up too much space
but shows that your Blog is uniquely yours and not just
some out of the box Blog platform that has no
customization. Some people choose to have their header
match the look and feel of their main site.

So go check out your Blog right now and see how you measure
up.

What are Ad Blockers?

Are you tired of the continuous stream of ads coming your way every time you search the internet for something? If so, then you may be interested in learning more about the various Ad Blocks that will prevent this from happening. Your computer will also run faster without all of those ads and you will have more privacy regarding where you go on the internet. Most Ad Blocks work by blocking out the host files. Others work by using a list of host names. You can choose to ad new names to the list and take others off. You would continue to get ads from hosts that are not on your blocked list.

There are many types of Ad Blocks to choose from. The one that is right for you depends on why you want to block them and if you want the option of letting some through from a particular host or not. The market is saturated with various spyware and pop up ad software that block these ads out. Make sure the product you use has automatic updates as things change and is compatible with the other software you operate on your computer.


SuperAdBlocker is considered to be the most reliable product out there. It is able to remove more than 100,000 adware and spyware components. This means regardless of the method the advertiser is using your software will likely prevent it from getting through to your computer. You will also be able to block banners in the area of instant messaging. This software comes with free updates as well as excellent customer support that is available 24/7 at no charge. SuperAdBlocker is available for only $29.95.

Mozilla is a type of Ad Blocker that allows you to make the choice of the advertisements you are exposed to as you go. It has a built in command called “block images from this server”. It is very simple to use. When you run across an ad you want blocked from your computer simply right click. Double click the “block images from this server” option ad the ad will disappear.


Those who advertise with AdSense aren’t happy about these various ad blockers as they feel they will make their effective marketing tool a waste of time. Those who advertise for Adsense are worried to because they don’t know how those blocked ads will make their website appear to the user. They can rest easy because all the user will see is a blank spot where the ad would have been.

Will Ad Blocks affect the vitality and economy of the internet? I guess it depends on who you ask. Some researchers believe Ad Blocks simply give the consumer some choice over what they are exposed to just like any other mode of advertising. We all have the right to turn the TV channel if we don’t like what is on. The same with the radio station. Other researchers believe that Ad Blocks will hurt the internet and cost consumers more in the long run. This is because the advertisers will have to find new methods of reaching the consumer but it will cost them more. That additional cost will be passed on to the consumers. However the world of advertising and consumers continues to evolve and there are always new ideas being introduced. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

To Your Success,
