As promised in the post A good blog,this post will try to define how you could get traffic.

I am not sure what will work for you but, I will try to attempt to give you how it could be done. Before, we go into the traffic building detail, you must post atleast 6 or more post on your blog. This will help you when the search engine spiders come to visit your blog.

Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification.

Permission

Confirming that the people who ask for your information have actually requested to be on your list is the number one step in the battle for deliverability. You should be using a process called confirmed opt-in or verified opt-in to send a unique link to the attempted subscriber when they request information. Before adding the person to your list they must click that unique link verifying that they are indeed the same person that owns the email address and requested to subscribe.

Last post I wrote on Blogging to make easy money, the online pitfall, I promised an article on the possible ways you can make a good blog which has traffic and potential to make money.

Generally, its very useful that you start a blog on subject that is close to your heart or you are the subject matter specialist. Don’t blog for the sake of making money. I started like that. I started with something that was close to my heart and ofcourse, I was a subject matter specialist on that. I did not do it to make money.

I have been accosted many a times online and offline for a share in the booty. Many a times it starts with a request to chat on my gmail. Many start without a hello, they come directly to the point. Its usually, “Hey! Do you want a writer?” Initially, I was flattered. Some of my sites have really grown.

Online or offline, every one wants to write for me. They want easy money. Every time, the story “usually’ is same. Let me tell you.

You are an India blogger having aspiration of making their money online, but, have their blogs hanging out in the blogosphere doing nothing and naturally making no money. Typically, you have added google adsense on your blogs. Google adsense for most of you either does not make money or even if it did after a long time (may be years), your account got suspended for one reason or the other. Mighty number of you have Adbrite advertising on your site which is an alternative you have learnt to live with due to either google suspending you or not approving your adsense account. A lot of Indian bloggers have applied to other ad networks, but, keep getting rejected for not having US traffic or not having traffic at all. Indian ad networks have not come up to the standards. Some Indian ad networks I looked into had insurance, or car sale or airline ticket sale advertisements. Obviously no point adding them.

This article, I am not going to talk about how your blog should be, or how it should be maintained. I will leave that for another day. I will concentrate upon what could be the options of earning the revenue. I would like to know what your opinions are, I have opened up the comments on this article.

With Microsoft officially acknowledging the issues with Vista and the offer to large organisations for a free Windows 7 OS (if on Vista), I feel cheated. As advertised in the newspapers and other sources that Piracy is bad, I dutifully purchased the Windows Vista along with the laptop. Now Microsoft says that Vista was a mistake and hence its introducing Windows 7.

Let me put that in perspective. This is cheating. If piracy is bad, then non-piracy is even worse.
