Why Blog Daily

We wrote a course that helps bloggers learn how to make $1000 a month. Basically, this number is not high when it comes to blogging. I personally know a blogger who works part time, about 15 hours a month, and makes $1500 - That is $100 an hour.

We've been talking about increasing pagerank to get more money from Google, and to increase hits. But, we are bloggers, so the blogsphere offers us more tools than webmasters are limited to.

We can submit to search engines - every one possible. We can submit to all the manual directories like DMOZ. But, we can also list in the blog directories and ping them.

Take a look at this article on Data Recovery. It received hundreds of hits when the rest of the posts received only 50 - 100. This blog community is set up to ping automatically, but I tagged this article with technorati, stumbleupon, voted with Google's new tool, digg, delicious, etc. You can see the difference.

This article does have good content on avoiding a computer hard drive crash, so other people will link to it, but the Tagging and pinging brought hits.

How? Well - one thing you can do is to update your blog post, and re-ping it.

The secret is pinging. If you write daily, the search engines send people to your site - daily. If you write monthly then they will send people to your site monthly.

I have met many people who will pay for traffic, but they will not write blog posts daily. The thing is - if you write 2 posts a day, your blog will be pinged twice a day.
