Other Sources Of Traffic

Google Content Network

1. Text vs. banner ads

It doesn’t cost any more to have your Adwords ad display as a banner graphic rather than text, and it means that your ad takes up a lot more space than it would if it was just text. Often these can be a lot more profitable than your standard text ads as well, and at the very least it’s good free branding for your site — even if it doesn’t get clicked on.

Of course Google displays ads pretty randomly, so you’re never really guaranteed a space in the ad slot. That’s why it’s a good idea to hedge your bets and create both text ads and banner ads.

2. Separate your ads for “content match” and your ads for “search match” into separate campaigns

This is really important for a number of reasons:

If It’s Dead Should You Bury It?

Question: Do you blog just to express yourself? You don’t really care if anyone reads it or if anyone ever leaves a comment about your self-expressions. You gain all you need from simply putting your thoughts into cyberspace. You feel the warm glow around your heart and your mind is now at ease (at least for a short time). Then this post isn’t really for you. You’re welcome to continue reading and I hope you do because I’m the type of blogger that passes along ideas, strategies, tips, tricks and advice. I want people to read my words and leave their thoughts and ideas in the comments.

Lets imagine you’re the same type of blogger as me. Maybe you’re looking to make a little money from your blog. You wouldn’t mind it the least little bit if visitors bought something from you or click on your PPC ads.

Now. lets imagine that isn’t happening. You’re getting 10 visitors a day, no comments and money.
So what do you do?
