In this series, we go beyond what we’ve already learned, and discuss advanced tips, tricks, and techniques in monetization.
MindBlog author, Eric Scalf, is back again with another series. This time, with the Advanced Monetization Series, Eric goes beynod the basics he layed out in the Amateur Blogging Series to discuss new tips, tricks, and techniques for maximizing earning potential. Concentrating on basic and advanced SEO techniques, as well as keyword usage, ad placement, ad unit control, and targetting, Eric lays out techniques that are certain to help the reader increase their ad revenue. As usual, the Advanced Monetization Series concentrates on an amateur blogging perspective, and uses the items most often found in amateur blogs (in this case, Google’s AdSense). Everyone can benefit from something in this series, but those who have been following MindBlog for a while will get the most benefit.
