Saturday, 15 September 2013, HENDERSON, NV - Sometimes it can be lonely at the top. Many of the rich and famous have their own troubles and problems. Sometimes there are tragedies that are the things of which movies are made. In the world of blogging just like in all the great traditions where we have seen the "thrill of victory" we also have seen the "agony of defeat". That is what they used to say at the beginning of ABC's "Wide World Of Sports" I think when they showed somebody wiping out badly while skiing down a track.
Well readers I just want you to know that you do not have to worry about your Max Money. I think on this blog we have come to terms with the challenges there might be with the life of a blogging superstar. I have even practiced evasive driving moves (on a closed track) of having to escape from the blogging paparazzi. Do not even talk to me about Lady Di, it brings a tear to my eye. Thinking of this uncle I had who was on his way to becoming a roller derby professional when one day he started showing up at places like the auto parts store dressed as a . . . . Oh never mind, I am getting a little bit off track here.
Anyway I was thinking about all this rich and famous stuff because there are times we are going to have to make sacrifices. Nobody likes to make sacrifices of things they love except, except here I am not afraid to say that I love blogging with all my heart. Well anyway I like it okay. Better than breaking rocks, right? Have we found our calling? For me everyone in the family has been real understanding I think since now there is more room on the sofa,,they just say, where's Dad is he out in the garage again? And we do not even have a garage. But for the first time yesterday after longer than I can remember I thought I am going to sit down and really try to absorb some of . . .sorry I fell asleep and cannot remember what I was trying to aborg . . . . Well that got "aborged" alright.
Oh right now I am back on track I think because maybe I already wrote the same thing in another blog the other day but I guess there is nothing wrong with reinforcement. It helps if one is reinforcing something that is basically correct. There is not so much value in reinforcing the incorrect. In fact that is another one of my big fears in life is that I will choose the wrong sources of information to follow or worse yet to be one myself. I think it is really impressive how some people do not even worry about it so much they just go with the choice that everyone else is making. It is kind of like always getting in the longest line to wait I guess on the theory that even though there may be several other shorter lines or none at all so long as I stick with the others I cannot go wrong.
I guess I better get to the point which was going to be for one thing about blogging readers like to see fresh material. I was going to make a point of having this post out first thing in the morning for our United States readers anyway which is why there is a headline about not forgetting the special responsibilities of being a dependable blogger. For example not spending all night partying but setting aside some time to write. That did not work out so well because I fell asleep.
However something I did learn yesterday is that even though it is hard to admit one has been making a mistake (for several years) but I actually did find that there was some good stuff in that Blogger material on Google about making more money with ads. They even have things that tell you how to do things to get around Google's rules with Adsense and stuff which is either pretty cool or they just have so much material that they cannot possibly tell what it is they are putting out there. For example one guy telling the viewers how to get extra Adsense accounts.
But I do not even have to go there because I can tell you that I learned some things that I can see right away will make a difference. I have tried writing for reasons other than to get rich, but since that is what we are writing of here I think I should even if some readers may have already found in five minutes yourselves, I do not know. Also I the more I learn I think we can do this and all help each at the same time. For example if there are some blogs out there that people really find worthwhile reading they may well set aside more time and find they like some of ours, too. We hope.
Okay I will just try repeat a few examples that might give bloggers a quick payoff. Also I would check what I say here to make sure it is first not dead wrong and second maybe you can easily improve upon it. The first one even I picked up a while ago for Adsense. For each group of ads we are allowed ONE of the biggest, that is 300x600. Then one thing I never even figured out before is to get an ad straight down through or under posts we go to LAYOUT. Then on the POST box click EDIT. So here are a bunch of things you can do, but the one I was not even sure of before about ads was that there is a box to CLICK to allow I think it is called an "INLINE" ad. That way if we like we can have an ad down the same vertical line between posts. If we do the settings there by default they will apply to all inline ads I believe through our whole blog
Almost done, but this one is worth knowing as well. You can make money from having a SEARCH BOX. That is a gadget and it somehow can lead to ad revenue but bloggers better read up on how that one works, although to start we just need to know that we can put up to two search boxes in per group of THREE ads, which includes the INLINE and the 300x600 above.
Next time I need to share what I learned about link ads (which do not count toward the total), but I used to really like them because they were just some terms across the page that readers could click on about something that was in my posts. I think I finally figured out why I have not been able to make it put those on a blog I have had for a while before. I will check on that and tell you why. Okay soon I think it will be time to answer some questions, right, as in is anybody reading this? We shall see.
