Are you? Do you come through on the promises you make to your readers? Do you make extravagant promises and never follow through with them? We have all been guilty of this at some time or another but over time you will learn like I did the hard way that your readers remember what you say and if you don’t deliver it will leave a bad taste in there mouth.

Its important to remember that your visitors are just like you “aliens :-]”, learn to treat them how you wish someone would treat you! It may be totally out of character for you but in the long run they will learn to love you more and more because you make good on what you say! People are always looking for someone to trust and if you are that person you will increase readership and trust between you and your readers.

IBB has not become popular over night by any stretch of the imagination but with hard work and being kind to others eventually I have turned this blog around into a great blog that people like to read!

Even if IBB was not successful at all I would continue to try and post every day as I just enjoy blogging and teaching others. The money the site makes is a side venture for me but as bills become more and more apparent things will start to change and I may become more aggressive in my marketing techniques with it!

Anyways, Back on topic, I guess what I am trying to accomplish with this post is to ask you a question. Do you make promises and keep them or break them to your readers? You can be honest!

May Earnings BreakDown

By Shannon Lilly | 4 Comments

Hello all, thank you for being loyal InfectedByBugs readers. I won’t bore you all with the details but this post is to show what the blog has made in the last month. I find it important to list this mainly so I can go back as a refrence and see where and how I started when the time comes.

I am actually quite pleased to announce that this was my blogs best month to date. I am praying and hoping that it only gets better every month from here on out. However if it doesnt atleast I know I did one month well! Here is what the blog sold and brought in broken down so everyone can understand.

Sitewide Top Banner 786 x 90 (Purchased For 3 Months) = $239
Sitewide Peely Ad (Purchased For 3 Months) = $96.00

Total = $335.00

Not to bad at all if you ask me! What about you, what did you earn online this last month?

Today I want to talk about a new marketing idea I have tried and had some success with in the past. I also want to know all your opinions on the technique and if you have had any success or failures with it! This way we can grow as marketers together and learn from each other!

Today we are going to talk about YouTube the best video site on the net! Some of you may have heard about YouTube being sued for 1 billion dollars but I mean cmon does anyone really think they will beat google in this? Google is the best at everything on the net because they have the engine that makes the internet go round right now!

Anyways back on topic, today I am going to share a technique with you where you can use YouTube to gain a high position in the search engines. I like to call it “Using Google Against Themselves” technique!

You may be wondering what that means but in a few moments after you read the how to below you will fully understand. Lets get started and learn how to YouTube like nobody else!

Sorry for such a large screenshot but as you can see in the midst of rankings for the term Dodge Restoration there is a YouTube video in the mix and has a rather high ranking! While this term is not the most complicated to get into it does help to know that this technique works on any mid sized terms!

The formula to do this is actually quite simple, here is a basic breakdown for you!

  • Upload Your Video To YouTube.
  • Put A Good Catchy Title (Containing Your Keywords).
  • Put 5 Or More Tags Relating To Your Keywords.
  • Use The Video Description To Pump The Search Engines With Info About Your Keywords.

After you have all that done and your video is uploaded go to the video URL, grab it then social it on all the major sites like Digg and SlashDot. Then Sit back and watch the rankings of your video rise! Try it out if you don’t believe me, it works every time!

Today I am answering some more readers questions like I have been for the last week or so! Lets get right into the question as I hate to waste your time and I know you all are busy as am I!

The Short Question: I am using WP 2.5.0 and want to rewrite my blog pages. I want seo friendly URL like testblog.com/mypost “don’t want like testblog.com/p?no1″

The Long Answer: First of all I want to thank you all for reading my blog and asking such great questions! Keep sending them to me and I may answer yours on the blog or I will email you back instructions to help with your problems!

Here is a short tutorial type post to help you accomplish the above question with ease in Word Press! This technique makes the urls of your blog SEO friendly which in the long run will help you gain serp positions and power overall in your blog!

Step 1 - First you need to load up your /wp-admin panel and login to it, you will spend all your time in the WordpressAdmin Panel to create the seo friendly urls.

Step 2 - Next click on the settings link in the top right of your Wordpress2.5 admin panel. If your using an older version of wp then 2.5 I suggest you upgrade right away!

Step 3 - After your in the admin settings panel you can click on the Permalinks settings menu, notice the red arrow below, this is where we will make the change for the seo urls!

Step 4 - Now that we are to the permalink settings we need to type a custom structure in the custom structure box. Simply put “/%postname%/” in the box (without quotes) and scroll down to the bottom of that page and click save changes!

And that’s it, all your worries are complete and now you have a seo friendly URL blog!
