Will Bloggers Make Good Money Online in 2009?
Last year may not be good for us in terms of economy, as well as for some money making online individuals. According to Darren Rowse' latest poll on his Problogger blog, there are more bloggers who are not making good money from their blogs than those who do. Although the results may not be accurate, it can be true.
But I think this is not because of the bad economy, to think that the same results appeared on his polls for the last 2 years. Moreover, there are part time bloggers and teenage kids who are making it big. Therefore, I can conclude that personality is not also the concern. It is the wrong strategies that caused them to fail. Here are my observations.
They are very sociable, as they leave comments on each others blogs even not belonging to the same niche. They entertain each other instead of finding a forum that can really help them.
They have tons of affiliate widgets on their sidebars, but they don't buy the products. They don't even make a review about them. They simply increase their subscribers, instead of finding potential buyers.
They use Adsense, but their blogs are very clean because they feel ads are annoying their readers. They also don't care if their niche is not popular, and they just choose whatever they want.
They are contented with their high PR but not worried about SERP. They create backlinks from everywhere because they think it is the best way to make it on top of the search engine pages.
Finally, they spend a lot of time in making content but spend less in promoting their blogs. Their traffic may be high but not from the targeted ones.
To sum them up, they are not using the two most important words in Internet marketing - relevant connection.
Now, do you think these kinds of bloggers will make good money online in 2009? I don't think so, not unless they wake up and change their techniques.
