Trying To Make Money Blogging

It’s a fact, at some point in your blogging career you will loose interest or grow tired of your blog and the niche it’s in. The usual advice is to take a break, go and post some comments, read other blogs for ideas or write a lame list post. I’ve used this advice a couple of times and it hasn’t worked.

Most WordPress blogs come with the rel=’nofollow’ tag. This means that when your leave your comment and your link is displayed in your name you don’t receive a precious backlink. Lately I’ve been thinking about removing this the rel=’nofollow’ tag as a kind of reward to people who can actually be bothered to comment on my posts. I guess having rel=’nofollow’ can be useful, a lot of spammers now know that nearly all blogs will not give you a backlink when they spam your comment sections with links to Viagra sites. It also show that people are genuinely interested in what I have to say. (more…)
