As blogging continues to evolve, it will take all the skill you can muster to stay on top. I was reading a post by Yaro Starak this week in which he points out that “Here’s the truth – technology is a bitch.” I agree, I’ve been whipped by tech like a red-headed step child myself this year.

However it is important to note the true goal of blogging for money that will never change is ……. drive traffic to your blog and convert to sales.

You have to stay on top of tech to be sure, but if you can just focus on providing good content, updated regularly and can wrangle traffic while building a list and have a good product or two to convert, you should be able to make a go of it (make money blogging) while being beat to death by the technical issues.

Of that which is mentioned above, the challenge is not really coming up with content or building a list or finding an affiliate product to sell. The real challenge is building and maintaining traffic. Enter “Keywords”

You pretty much have to stay behind this one all the time, constantly on the hunt for the most profitable and powerful keywords. Enter “Brad Callen”.

This blog is pretty much aimed at the beginner, so I tend to repeat things often so that you will catch on to what is really most important. For those that get bored quick or catch on quick, you can cruise on over to the companion site for Bloggers Market.com. That would be “Blogging Extreme.com”. Whose <h1> keyword phrase is “The Location For Learning Extreme Blogging“. You will see it at the top of the website in the “Title Bar” and you edit it in WordPress with the “All In One SEO” plug-in“. The <h1>
keyword is perhaps the most “Onsite” important keyword you can come up with. Do your homework, find something you can live with and hit it hard. If it doesn’t work, start over and try again. Just remember, never give up or settle for the status quo. Keyword research is too important !
