When learning how to improve your own blogging and learn how to make money online they’re are virtually hundreds of resources to turn to for guidance. A awesome new one that I came across is the MonkeyBlogger blog. The owner Mark Cuda is a great guy, I have had the pleasure of speaking with him one on one and he is a very talented easy going yet helpful guy.

He has no secrets he is not willing to share and that alone makes me love him! As you know this is my intent with InfectedByBugs. I like to outline the things others are not willing to share to everyone.

After checking out the MonkeyBlogger blog a few things hit me right off the bat, in this review I am going to show everyone what I personally would do with the blog to encourage making more money. So lets get started and remember these are just my opinions, be sure to check marks blog yourself and comment below with your ideas.

MonkeyBlogger Monetization!

The first thing I want to bring to every ones attention is the fact that Mark is using adsense on his blog. If you have been reading InfectedByBugs for any length of time you will most likely know I am not to keen on adsense as per my adsense hate article.

Though I am against adsense 99.9%  of the time I am actually OK with it on MonkeyBlogger. Mark has taken  time through his skin and web design skills to place the adsense perfectly so its not over barring like on a lot of blogs. Its also pulling up pretty relative ads which again is a nice twist from what I generally see. If you look at how he has placed his adsense…

As you can see the ads are the new google adsense scrolling ads which work very well. The results brought up are also very relative to his content. I would wager he worked on getting this setup for some time?

Another thing I really loved about Marks blog was the fact that he is endorsing a custom built wordpress design! If you remember I am really big on a unique design for each blog. Remember the first impression is everything and Mark pulls this off perfectly!

Mark is also displaying several spots for advertisements to be purchased, he has great pricing and each ad spot is worth every penny IMO. He has placed the ads strategically to keep CTR rate for each of his advertisers up! I find this to be very helpful when deciding when to and where to advertise, I naturally advertise on the sites that show me I will get clicks. Mark does just that through strategic placement and for that I commend him!

MonkeyBlogger Content!

The next part of this review is of Marks content, while his blog is still quite new he has already started pumping it full of unique content. One of my favorite articles he has done to date is his “don’t lose your originality” post. He provides a unique perspective on the article about blogging voice that I wrote a few weeks back.

Mark also does series of posts like his awesome “Networking With DigitalPoint” series. Content as good as this should have a price tag even to read but again like myself Mark loves to help everyone out for free! Be sure and subscribe to his feed so you do not lose a speck of his free info! Its all worth reading and learning from, let him take you to the promise land! (Just Don’t Forget Me)

Well that about sums it up, If I was to offer up a score between 1/10 of overall scoring of the MonkeyBlog I would have to give it a 7/10!
