How to Build a Wordpress Blog People Want to Read

1. Choose a topic that you can provide unique and original information on. There are blogs on virtually every subject but some have much more coverage than others. Before you work on your WordPress blog ask yourself if you know enough about its topic to make it useful and original. You do not have to pick an obscure topic; you could choose even a popular one and adopt a unique approach to it.
2. Make your WordPress site easy to navigate. For example, add widgets for post categories, archives and tag clouds. Avoid large graphics that take forever to download on slow connections. As webmasters know from traffic analyses most people do not spend more than a few minutes on a single blog or website. If your blog is difficult to navigate visitors might leave without reading even a word.

3. Choose a user-friendly WordPress theme. It can be difficult to decide what theme to use on your blog because the idea of 'quality' is subjective. As a general guide look for a theme that makes text readable and does not have a busy, distracting background. Avoid themes that are too plain or common (such as the default WordPress theme) lest you give readers the impression that you do not care about what your blog looks like.
4. Avoid inserting too many ads or placing ads in inappropriate areas. Do not attempt to trick people into clicking ads on your WordPress blog. Not only could this be a violation of your agreement with your sponsors (as it is with Google AdSense); visitors who are misled this way eventually lose their respect in the blog author. If you want to command a following, put your readers first, not your wallet.
5. Update your blog often. Publishing a new post once a day or a couple of times a week has several advantages. It makes people come to your site often; it helps your WordPress blog rank better in search engines; and it increases the odds of readers sharing your posts via email, Facebook, Twitter and other means. If you had chosen a topic you love and know much about, it should not be hard for you to write about it often.
6. Express your opinion. A blog without the personal opinions of its author lacks personality. Sharing your honest thoughts can help secure readership for your blog if your thoughts are insightful, and depending on the topic, perhaps controversial.

How to Make Money With a Webpage

1. Get a free blog (Blogger is a great one), a free domain name with free web hosting (I used to use awardspace), buy a domain (godaddy, domainsite) with free hosting, or buy a domain and buy separate hosting. You can also make your home computer into your hosting server if you have the know-how and a static IP. (Check my other articles for more help with any of these things)
2. Once signed up, start posting content (If you have a blog this is easy). If you have a website, you will need to upload a page called index.html to the main folder. If you are not sure how to do this then read my post 'How to start a website.' Basically the page will need HTML programming, which is actually quite easy. If you do not want to learn HTML, you can get a simple template from online, and post using frontpage or NVU (free!).

3. Sign Up for adsense. This is a google ad system that allows you to 'monetize' your site. When someone clicks on an ad on your page, the advertiser pays you a few cents. In order to display ads on your webpage, you will have to add some code into your page. For those who do not want to touch that, most applications like NVU allow the user to add chunks of code in without looking at all the rest of the HTML. If you are using blogger, there is a gadget that allows you to sign up for adsense and add it to your site easily.
4. Now the most important part. Post articles that have meaning, but try to make them contain words with a theme. Adsense searches your post and makes ads based on that, and some genres are more competitive than others. If you write about dolls, you will make a few cents per click. If you write about lawyers, acne products, bankruptcy, or insurance you can make upto a few dollars per ad click!
5. Try to make the first few sentences of any post or blog filled with rich words (no pun intended). this is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and there are companies devoted to just this.
6. Sign your awesome site up at flog directory and website directory sites, and wait for thousands to flock in, read your stuff, and a few to click on your ads!

How to Add a Header to a Thesis

1. Launch Microsoft Word. Select the Office button at the top right and choose Open. Scroll down to find your document. Click to highlight it, and select Open at the bottom of the window.
2. Select Insert from the toolbar, and select Header from the Header and Footer section. The Header and Footer tab appears at the top.

3. Replace: [Type text], with the appropriate header information. Once you've typed what you need, select Close Header and Footer from the Close group on the top right.

How to Remove Low CPC Bidders

1. Start compiling a list of advertisers on your website. Use tools like the Google AdSense Sandbox tool to preview what kind of ads are showing up on your site. Browse your site through various proxies to get a sense for what kinds of ads are showing up for different people. Record the advertiser's URLs in a spreadsheet.
2. Using spy tools like SpyFu, Compete or Keyword Spy, estimate the CPC your advertiser is paying per click. Unfortunately, in Google AdSense and in most online bidding platforms you can't actually see what each individual advertiser is paying. However, by using third-party spy tools you can get an idea of who's bidding low and who's bidding high. Keep in mind that most of this data is based on search pay-per-click (PPC) rather than contextual PPC, so the data will be skewed a little higher.

3. Identify your lowest paying advertisers and put their domains in a list. Make sure that if you remove these advertisers you'll still have enough high paying advertisers to continually display ads on your site. If you remove too many advertisers you might start displaying public service ads (PSA) that don't pay.
4. Using Google AdSense's 'allow and block' interface, block the advertisers that you've identified as low bidders.

How to Make Serious Money Blogging

1. Pick a topic you love to talk about. whether it be stocks, sports or gardening. This is the most important step because passion breeds great writing.
2. Pick a service. I prefer blogger.com because it is free and very easy to use. Also blogger.com allows you monetize your blog with google adsense.

3. Start writing. You don't have to write a book every time out, just write what you feel at the time. One of my favorite blogs is a new blog about the stock market and investing. I include tips and pertinent news.
4. Blog often. This is very important because it helps with google ranking and shows them that your blog has fresh frequent information. Plus you want to keep your readers coming back so write as much as you can. I try to blog 3-5 times a week.
5. Once you have written for about a month you want to implement good adsense into your blog. Blogger.com makes this extremely easy with a few clicks.
6. Followers. Research atleast 2 forums that are geared towards your blogs topic and post comments there often. Don't just solicit your blog. Try and help people in the forum. These people will eventually migrate to your blog and if they like what you have to say will decide to follow you. The more followers the more possible adsense revenue.

How to Make an Online Registration Form

1. Copy the following HTML code:

Online Registration

Name:





Email:





Address 1:





Address 2:





City:





State:





Zip Code:





Phone Number:





Comment:











2. Paste the registration form code into the HTML code of your website.

3. Change “youremail@email.com” to your email address. This is the email address where the registration form will be sent.
4. Change “Online Registration” to the text you’d like to show above your registration form. This can be the name of your event.
5. Edit existing text boxes in the sample. For example, if you don’t need the “zip code” as a part of the registration form, delete the entire code for that entry:Zip Code:





6. Add the following code into the HTML above the “input” tags if you need to create a new text box blank:Text Box Name:





7. Configure the new text box blank. For example, if you want to add “cell phone number” to the form, change “Text Box Name” to “Cell Phone Number” and change the name='boxname' to name='cellphone'.
8. Save the changes to your code and upload your webpage to your website host to view your online registration form.

How to Post a Job on Google

1. Navigate to Google's paid classifieds (see Reference). If you happen to be low on funds or simply wish to post for free, navigate to Google's free classifieds area (also in References).
2. Select an advertiser from among the many listed. Some may be more appropriate for you than others. The list includes low-end classifieds services (such as Pennysaver) to websites geared specifically toward musicians, international travelers, expatriates, businesspeople and others.

3. Click on 'Post a job,' typically located in the service's main menu.
4. Fill out the form presented to you. Most of the job forms are similar, so it may be worth your while at this point to copy the text of the job posting so that you can use it later (see step 5).
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to post the job advertisement on multiple job sites in Google's directory. If you saved your text, this can be as easy as pasting it into a different service's 'Post a Job' form.

How to Insert Adsense PHP Code Into the Wordpress Advertising Manager

1. Log in to your Wordpress admin control panel. Click 'Plugins,' then 'Add New.' If you are using Wordpress version 2.5 or earlier, enter 'AdSense Manager' into the search box and click 'Search Plugins.' If you are using a later version of Wordpress, search for 'Advertising Manager,' which is an updated version, although Adsense Manager may also work on your version should Advertising Manager not install correctly for some reason.
2. Locate the plugin you searched for in the results list, then click 'Install Now.' Wait a few seconds as the plugin installs, then click 'Activate Plugin.'

3. Click 'Settings' from the main menu bar, then click 'Advertising Manager.' Click 'Manage Ad Units,' then 'Create New Ad.' Paste your Google Adsense code for the ad unit you want to insert into the box titled 'AdSense Slots Other Networks,' then click the 'Import to New Ad Unit.'
4. Edit the settings for this ad unit. On the left, you can choose where you want the ad unit to appear, and on which sections of the site, such as the main index page, single posts or archive pages. On the right, you can add HTML code before and after the unit -- for example, to give the ad unit a colored border, float it to the left or right, or place it in its own paragraph.
5. Click 'Save changes' when you're done. Repeat this process for all your Adsense units.

How to Use Google Adwords Keyword Tool

1. Log in to your AdWords account. Click on the “Tools and Analysis” drop-down menu located at the top of the AdWords screen and select “Keyword Tool.”
2. Enter a search term related to your campaign into the “Word or Phrase” field. If entering multiple search terms at once, put each word or phrase on a new line.

3. Enter a website URL, for example “www.shoes.com” (without quotation marks) into the “Website” field, instead of or in addition to entering search terms into the “Word or Phrase” field. Completing only the “Website” field will produce a list of suggested keywords based on the content of the website you entered. Completing both the “Website” and “Word or Phrase” fields will yield data both for the terms you entered and suggested keywords based on the website’s content.
4. Type a category, for example 'shoes' (without quotation marks), into the “Category” field. The tool will display suggested categories as you type. Click on a suggested category to add it.
5. Select the check box labeled “Only Show Ideas Closely Related to My Search Terms” if you only want to see results that contain the original search terms you entered. This setting is optional; leaving the check box unselected will show results from all categories.
6. Click on “Advanced Options and Filters” to expand a menu that allows you to narrow down the keyword results. Select geographical areas and languages from the “Locations and Languages” menu to see search data for those demographics only. Select the desired type of device, e.g. “Desktop and Laptop Devices,” from the “Show Ideas and Statistics For” menu to see search data for those devices only.
7. Click “Search.” AdWords will display suggested search terms and phrases within the “Keyword Ideas” tab.
8. Look at the data appearing in the “Competition,” “Global Monthly Searches” and “Local Monthly Searches” columns alongside each keyword in the list of results. Competition gives an idea of how many other Google AdWords advertisers are bidding on a keyword. If choosing between two keywords to use in your campaign, choose the one for which the “Competition” column says “Low” or “Medium” as opposed to “High.”Global Monthly Searches represents how often people all over the world searched for a given keyword while Local Monthly Searches represents searches in the locations, language, and devices that you specified. If choosing between two keywords, choose the one with the higher search volume.The “Local Monthly Searches” column will show a dash if you specified multiple locations, a location that is not a country or if AdWords cannot provide data for a particular search combination.
