Perhaps I will sound like a broken record but I have seen direct benefits of using CommentLuv since the day it was first released by Andy Bailey and been a vocal supporter and described some of the usage options in my previous posts:

• Blog Commenting For One Way Links
• CommentLuv Plus DoFollow Equal Unlimited Link Love

But How Do You Actually Find Blogs With CommentLuv Enabled and relevant to your Niche? Because this is where you will see most benefits from links to your content, especially since Google decided to ignore “nofollow” attribute that they invented!

I’m a strong believer in first impression. It is what determines HOW you are perceived on subconscious level even before you are interacted with. In case of blogs it is just as important, as first impression has a great chance of turning interested visitor into “fast clicking Back button” browser.

Sadly, even if the information you provide is relevant to the search!

I have seen it before and done it myself. Just think back – have you ever arrived to a site because it supposedly had info you need but was so destructed by the color combination, ads overload or awkward navigation that you simply clicked back to look for OTHER site?

1.5 hours last night we have spent talking to Doug about proper ways to use Twitter, IF you are trying to build a business and not just a community. He has answered well over 20 questions submitted by participants as well as talked about more advanced strategies you can discover in his eBook “Advanced Twitter Markeketing“.

You can download entire webinar session here and if you have any questions – please use the comments section and I’ll answer them to best of my ability.

A misconception exists that Google Text Ad, or as it is more known AdSense, is bad for you blog earning! I think we absolutely MUST clear this mistaken misconception especially for people who are just joining the ranks of bloggers.

Blame the economy or rising awareness of the tools available to people but blogging to make money is becoming increasingly popular and people are on constant look out for the information to help them increase the potential, maximize the opportunity and actually become that 5% of the bloggers who succeed of getting a bit of extra from their blogs.

And while I don’t implement Google AdSense on this blog – there is a good reason behind it and I want to explain in detail “the why” and “the how”!
