OK, now you have already your blog online, you wrote some post´s and take maybe took care to get some traffic to your blog. But do you know what is important to do make some money with your blog?

You have to know, that there are 2 most important indicators which are responsible how much money you can make with your blog.

1. Google PR  (PageRank)

2. Alexa Rank

Ok, that really not all but the two most important.

So what is Google PR? Wikipedia say “PageRank is a link analysis algorithm used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references.”

And what to say about Alexa?

Alexa achieves its ranking system by counting how many pages were visited by people who have downloaded their toolbar. And that group of people is anything but random: they tend to be webmasters, Internet marketers, and other market-minded people.

If you want to improve your Alexa Rank I can only recommend you to install the Alexa-Plugin at your blog so every visitor will be counted! You can download it from Alexa.

So the next steps we have to do is to improve your Google PR and Alexa Rang.

After you are sure what about your blog should be ( you personal favorite topic ) you have to make a decision about that, where you want to host your blog. The Master Question is - should I take a free blog-space or a provider where I have to pay for?

The answer is a question: Would you like to monetize your blog or not? If you make only a free or fun blog for yourself you can take a non-payed-blog-space like: blogspot.com, myspace.com, xanga.com, livejournal.com, vox.com, bravejournal.com, and blogsome.com

If you would monetize your blog I can only highly recommend you to look after a good provider that have many tools for bloggers. OK you have to pay some $ for it but you also will have the chance to make money with your blog.  Without your own site  like ´yoursitename.com´ you will not even have a chance to take part on many ´money 2 your blog´ options.

You will often read this:  Excluded Domains: myspace.com, xanga.com, livejournal.com, vox.com, bravejournal.com, and blogsome.com
