Do you have your own Self Hosted Blogs? Or do you use Free blogs ? First of all let me differentiate the two. Self Hosted Blogs are those blogs hosted where you have to pay for it. Usually Self Hosted blogs use also Domains which are brought from a domain company such as Godaddy.com or the Hosting company itself. Maybe some Web hosting Articles might help you understand what I mean.

Free Blogs are those blogs hosted under Blogspot.com , WordPress.com, multiply.com, i.ph and others , Those are site which gives you a space to write on. But not all gives you the freedom to monetize. You can see some of my thoughts for this two types of Blog Platform.

Well I just want to know the thoughts of different Bloggers about this subject ? I would like to throw a question on which Do you prefer Self Hosted Blogs or Free Blog Platforms ?

If You’re Answer is Self Hosted your post will be written here :

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*

BTW I have added mine. You can check my Robots.txt file here don’t forget to check my Adsense Tips before, It still help me a lot to get a relevant ads. And I am sure that michigan SEO Consultants will agree with my findings.

Another way to interpret number 1 is not to rely on just one blog. Create several blogs that will cater to various income streams.

Not many know this but I actually have four blogs.

1. A static website blog that simply serves as an online store to market and sell products online and offline. Biggest income source – direct sales. 

Nice idea, I have not yet done this for now since I am abroad and I don’t know what are the goods that Arab people like to buy. PayPal is not yet well known in Saudi Arabia and I also don’t know how to be involve in their Online Market. It is what I called culture difference.

2. A crappy blog that’s dedicated to paid posts and sponsored reviews, doubles as my SEO playground. And since it’s crappy by nature, I simply grab ALL the opps I can get hold of. Hehe. Biggest income source – PPP

One way to really have an income thru blogging is making paid post. I am also doingpaid post, But most of the time I make it using direct method thru online entrepreneur that I am getting to know thru forum. Why, They don’t oblige you to say that your post is sponsored or usually I can receive money before making the post. The only disadvantage is sometimes payment is not as high as the established site. Such as SponsoredReviews.com, PayPerPost, ReviewMe.

3. A Made-For-Adsense blog that’s full of keyword-rich posts aggregated from public domain articles. This one is sooo boring to maintain, but gives good income anyway. Biggest income source – Adsense (obviously) and Kontera

Well actually those kind of site was very popular last year where there are lots of MFA site that are floating in the net. The best part of this is the Passive Income that it is giving. I also maintain some sort of blog that Fitz mentioned, For me I maintain a Song Lyrics Blogs. I also monetize it thru Kontera , Adbrite, & Adsense.

4. And a flagship blog, the one all of you guys know, where I provide the most value to the readers and I enjoy the most writing. Biggest income source – Adsense

Yup as an Online Blogger, It is always our goal to have our brand. That is why we always maintain our best site . Like me I maintain this site as my main site. This site is a semi-Tech, Blogging, SEO with a personal touch. BTW I maintain a blog and not a NEWS site. So better be happy on what you are doing and Online Money will come next. Again Thanks Fitz for sharing this info. Best of Luck to Your Finance Site.

This is also One way of thanking him for being active on commenting at my site. . I am now opening another category on this blog and call it Visitor’s Comment.

Picture is taken at Fort Santiago, Jose Rizal’s Prison, I put my signature with out knowing that I have to donate by doing so.

Well I have been invited to make a review for a site that has a PR7 rank. The review below shows how I see the site as a first time visitor and suggestion are made with an aim to help the webmaster on having a user friendly interface for the users and Visitors.

WebHostingGeeks.com is a site that has a very strong PR7 web site dedicated to providing real and unbiased customer reviews of major web hosting companies.

Below are my suggestion and Comments , Feel free to comment about it

1)  Search Box

The webmaster should provide a search box on the upper right hand of his site. If a user come at their site for the first time and is searching for a review of a hosting company, A user will have hard time to find it out.

The search box should also contain filters of the price range that a certain hosting company may have. I can say that they aim to provide real and unbiased customer reviews of major web hosting companies .

2) User Interface

I tried to enroll on their site and try submitting a web hosting reviews in Customer Hosting Reviews part of the website, at first I have a hard time in locating the submit button since it is located on the upper right corner which has a small font. People who would like to visit this site want also to give their opinion, So I believed that making the submit button embedded in image or a bigger font will make it easier for a submitter to make his comments.

3) User Review

It would also be great if in the review page , the person reviewing the hosting company can provide his URL, If a consumer has a positive or negative review on any web hosting company one should prove that they are really using the service and not just telling something bad about the service.

4) About Page

http://webhostinggeeks.com/ is a review site, it is therefore necessary to make an about page telling history of the site to give more confidence to the reader that this site has really a fair and an unbiased reviews.

5) Ads Placement

I would suggest to provide a Link Ads form from Google if they want to have an additional income and put it in between header and the body

6) Suggestion about Site SERP

I believed that their site has been optimized for Google SERP, I would also suggest to work on Yahoo SERP since their site is nowhere to be found in Yahoo with their chosen keywords.

7) Suggestion in Domain Site Protection

One way to protect your site brand is to get the other site extension that you have.I have seen that the .info, .org, .mobi, .biz, & .us extension are still available in the market, If I were the owner of the site I will rush to a domain registration company such as godaddy and take those other address and redirect it to his website. Just one way to protect one’ site.

Additional Information

The site has a great resources of different web hosting articles which aims to provide information to blogger’s, Webmasters and other information which a researcher would find it as a great resources.

A word from the site administrator

I have another site coming up soon – http://webhostingrating.com. Feel free to visit the article section at http://webhostingrating.com/articles/ to get the inspiration for your blog posts

I just hope that this review of mine help them study on what might new visitors will be thinking upon entering their site.

It will also be great if you could give some suggestion for this site, just leave your comment and let us share information with each other.

I just read from articles that there are some Bloggers that has been jailed because of their defamatory comments in their blog.

They blog what they believe is right and it obvious that their Government does’nt want what they are blogging. So is it Freedom suppression ? How do blogger’s set their limit ? Do we as Bloggers has a limit ? Do you believe that bloggers should have a certain rules ?

I just want to get your feed back and start discussion about the matter.

Good that I have prepared my calling card. BTW I won an iblog 4 shirt . Yahooo.

First of all you have to set up your goal in writing. What is your goal while writing, Is it because of fame and be known in your niche later or is it because you want to make more money online ?

Based on my observation, When you give complete information in your content it is unlikely to have an advertisers click from your visitors. The visitors tend to click the “X” mark at the right and then go away and forget your site.

So I believe that adding some space for more information about the subject makes visitors to roam around your site. It also gives possible click in your Advertiser’s Ads.

I also suggest to break your post into a different small post at about 200 to 300 words per article.

But if you would like to be known as an expert in your field in which later on you will harvest the fruits of your work. I would suggest to make quality and long articles that describes fully about the subject. And just wait to increase readership and accept direct advertisers that will pay Cost per CPM. ( By The Way, This might be a long wait )

Some says that small articles will not be SEO ( Search Engine Optimization )  friendly. Please be informed that on the other hand I have noticed that some small post tops at the SERP. It is because they have a good link building strategy.

Do you have any ideas about this subject let me know your ideas by commenting. And if we can get good results I will post it here and you will have a back link. but the choice is mine.
