Third Month Fast Approaching

The third month for Blog Me The Money is fast approaching and the time has gone by fast. Many changes occurred during those two and a half months. From site layout, theme, monetization partners to a whole slew of other things. The response by the blogging community has been rather great and I am quite happy with the success as of so far. Although not my first blog, this is my first blog in the "Make Money Online" niche and a competative niche, perhaps even over crowded one at that. Although that will not deter me the least from continuing, and i will continue to work part time as I always have at this blog.

This blog when I started out, had some rather unimpressive stats. Alexa ranked Blog Me The Money somewhere just under the 20 Million rank. Yes you read that right. Of course at that rank all one needs is a handful of daily visitors and you can more than half your rank! Technorati ranking was not much better and was pretty close in rank as well.
As of writing this article my Alexa rank has risen (Dropped) to 450,833 with a weekly rank sitting on 163,700 which is a vast improvement from the 19 point however many million it was.
Technorati is also greatly improved as the current ranking or authority is 183,265, that being with a URL change only a month back which meant I lost a lot of incoming links (or rank). So I am quite satisfied with these stats. Although there is room for a LOT of improvement Blog Me The Money seems to be heading in the right direction and for that I am happy.

PageRank however is still a zero due to the fact this blog is not old enough to be ranked. But I am looking forward to the next round of updates this coming summertime. I thought it would be interesting to keep these stats floating about and to be able to recall them in say a years time. So until then I have a lot of work to do.

A recap of some of the more popular posts are:

Steve Pavlina Uses Blog Carnivals To Attract 50,000 Visitors

Not a bad number indeed! And to think you too can copy what he has sucessfuly been doing and get that sort of traffic or more yourself.

What is a blog Carnival?

Think of it as being a type of "blogging community. On the internet there are millions of blogs and maybe millions of niche categories making up one pile of articles. A Carnival community collects the blogs together of a specific niche or topic and groups their articles together. Think magazine, in which your niche is published weekly, monthly or however often the publisher see's fit.

How does this benefit Me?

Well for starters it gives your articles a much broader audience. And with some well written content it will attract readers to your blog. Carnivals also offer one way inbound links to your site which weigh more than a traded or reciprocal link exchange and they are FREE.

So find yourself a Carnival that fits closely to your blogs niche, pick your best articles and content and submit those articles to get them published. Not a bad way to gain a handful of new subscribers to your RSS feeds or perhaps even hundreds with each round of submissions.

Steve Pavlina wrote, How To Make Money From Your Blog, and in this article he states,

In my early traffic-building days, I’d do carnivals submissions once a week, and it helped a great deal in going from nothing to about 50,000 visitors per month. You still have to produce great content, but carnivals give you a free shot at marketing your unknown blog for free. Carnivals are like an open-mic night at a comedy club - they give amateurs a chance to show off their stuff. I still submit to certain carnivals every once in a while, but now my traffic is so high that relatively speaking, they don’t make much difference anymore.

With that said, why are you still here reading? Go submit to your Blog Carnival!
And Best of Luck!

Learn How To Make Money From a 14 Year Old!

And believe me, that’s no joke. Ever heard of Carl Ocab of carlocab.com? If you haven’t, it’s probably because you haven’t been blogging for very long. Carl is a world-famous 14-year-old kid from the Philippines who runs one heck of a blog about how to make a fortune online.

While some kids his age are playing video games and sleeping in, Carl is working his butt off on his blog and ranking number one in a Google search for the term “make money online.” Carl Ocab Dot Com has been featured in his national newspaper, has been covered by some of the greatest bloggers on the Internet, and—perhaps most importantly—all of his current advertising on his blog is completely sold out.
Carl Ocab is a great blog to highlight here on Advertising Blogger, specifically because it’s a great example of what you can do online if you work hard and set your mind to it. If a 14-year-old kid can make a ton of advertising cash with a blog—even with school and chores getting in the way—then there’s really no reason why you can’t, too. And no, there isn’t a big secret to how Carl got where he is. He kept blogging, networking, and getting back links, and put together an awesome advertising page that tells potential advertisers how they can benefit from purchasing ads on his site.
If you get a chance, go check out Carl Ocab’s About Page to learn a little bit more about how he got into blogging and rose to become one of the most influential bloggers on the Internet. But keep this in mind: becoming a much-visited site is a great thing, but monetizing that traffic will take you from blogging as a hobby to being a professional blogger. If Carl Ocab can do that at age 14, you can do it, too!
