Sponsored blogging

I hope you're earning from your splogs, like these people. There seems to be an infinite amount of authors tapping away at posts, and filling their blogs with brief product reviews and props. It's a fantastic and easily minable market. Just look at this: Is 8 Enough. You have a relatively attractive, human-copy-written, regularly updated blog, with a decent amount of advertising and some paid posts. This attention builds up trust, and that'll only help your CTR; sponsored articles will cover the times when clicks are low. As there's more than one sponsored blogging site, it's certainly recommendable to interleave posts from different providers while possible, while you can (many only allow one in three to be paid).

Meta Keywords Wordpress plugin

Ahh.. nothing like a good, theory-centric, hype-free approach to SEO. There's an extremely sensible and (fairly) lightweight Meta Keywords plugin rattling around over at data dump.

It seemed to me that a basic meta keywords tag should be trivial to include. According to Google’s
word of mouth advice, meta keyword tags (apart from being mainly unimportant) shouldn’t contain more than six or seven keyphrases (not keywords, keyphrases - more than one word can go there) separated by commas.

Sounds simple, right? This plugin reads your document’s content and title, strips out crap (formatting, useless words such as “the”, invisible characters) and then performs n-gram analysis to get an idea of term frequency. That’s a fancy way of saying that it finds the most oft-used words and phrases in your post. The top six (or seven, or even twenty - you can edit a constant at the top of the plugin to alter this) phrases are then plonked out into a nice meta keywords tag in your HTML header. Easy as pie!


Go and have a look for yourself, and leech the thing.
