Niche Marketing and Blogging for Beginners

Quick Update

Posted on March 19th, 2008

Hey all! Just a quick update on a few things. I have been really busy working my niches, a lot of new niches, and just plain to much to do with to little time.

Ok, I am working on a review of BANS. I have been using it for about the past month or so, and I am impressed with it. To go along with it, I have a few templates that I will be releasing as well for them. Hopefully you can use them and like them too!

As for niche items, I am going to be putting together a list of blogs that I find to be great reads. I would like to challenge each of you to write a post about what blogs you read and find to be the most valuable. I would like to say that once I write my post and get it on here, if you would like to write yours, and trackback or leave me a comment here, we can compile the “must read” blogs for niche blogging and marketing.

As always, if anyone has any questions or needs some help with anything, let me know!

Local Niche Support Group Page Changes and Updates

Posted on March 10th, 2008

Hey all! I hope your local niche pages are doing well, and I really hope you are making some money with other niche pages too!

Just a quick announcement about the local niche support group page as I have made a change in it.

I have added (finally) a link to each users BloggingZoom submissions page. This will take you right to their page of all of their submissions. This should be a time-saver. You should now be able to go to each members page and zoom each article to your hearts content!

Also, I am working on a review BANS, so if you have any experiences with it, good or bad, please contact me and let me know.

If you are wondering where in the hell I have been, I have been working on about 15 new domain names that I have recently bought for niche sites. Whew, let me tell ya it can get overwhelming with so much going on!

Anyone have any ideas on how to organize your logins, domains, db info, etc. for all of your domains? Please, do share!

Used Domain Name Tip

Posted on March 4th, 2008

Ok, been a little since I posted, but have been working my tail off with some new niches. One issue that I have seen an increase with on used domain names lately is that lack of “quality” domain names. What do I mean by “quality”? Pretty simply put, there seems to be a huge amount of junk domain names on the market now.

New Scrolling Adsense Ad Unit

Posted on February 19th, 2008

The other day I was checking my layouts on some of my sites to make sure they look good. I feel this is an important step for any site, but especially niche sites as you might not check on them as often. While looking at one of my sites, something strange caught my eye while I was looking at what ads where appearing with my Adsense sections.

I happened to catch this on a screen shot, and it appears to be a scrolling Adsense ad that the user can change what ads appear to them.

Create User Interaction with Forums

Posted on February 15th, 2008

One thing I have noticed, not only on this site, but lots of other sites as well, is one way to increase your traffic and activity is to include a forum on your site.

I have included a forum here for members to participate and support each others local niche projects, but a forum is a great way to improve any niche site. And, it isn’t as hard to set up as you would think. Just a simple Wordpress plugin and away you go!
