How’s that blog going? Good, you say? Same here. Of course, I could use some more readers, but then again, who couldn’t, right?
Does this sound familiar?
If you’re a blogger – especially one that is trying to make money with your blog, there’s a good chance that you’ve spent your fair share of time trying to figure out how to lure new readers to your blog, and with varying amounts of success.
Most people tend to move toward social media sites like Facebook and Twitter when they want to increase their readership, and they are right to do so. The world of social media, if you didn’t already know, is growing by leaps and bounds every year, and with smartphones and tablets with built-in social media apps becoming as common as the rhinovirus, you can be sure that the influence social media has over the decisions people make will only grow stronger.
Then, of course, there is old reliable – email marketing. Not too long ago, email marketing was considered a passé tool for promoting and marketing. But, take a look at your inbox. Email marketing is back and in a huge way. Groupon and Living Social are two perfect examples of email marketing at it’s most successful.
So what does this mean for you, the blogger looking to hit it big?

Social networking is one of today’s biggest arena when it comes to online marketing. It’s been an effective gauge for Internet businesses, not only for e-commerce sites but also for bloggers. Facebook, Twitter and even Google+ are making a big impact on the Internet and many practical users are taking the bait. So the question is – “does SEO still have relevance for your online business?”.
SEO against social networking is an interesting topic especially if you are looking for the best way to market your website business. If you want to promote your brand using social medias, then you certainly have to build your social network profile to develop both yourself and your site. Otherwise, you’ll have to stick with search engine optimization which is more complicated compared to social network marketing.

Along with other social tools, every blog in existence has an email sign-up. Signing up for an email is a sign of faith in the blog from the visitor. They’re putting their faith in you to give them interesting, relevant content.
Like any social contract, though, there are consequences if you break that trust: the dreaded unsubscribe button.
If readers unsubscribe, you can pretty much guarantee they won’t be coming back to your blog. Most people passively cut through their email content. Once they’re annoyed enough with you to actually go through the process of unsubscribing, they’re annoyed enough to stop visiting your site. Email marketing is only as valuable as its content.
The worst thing you can do is tell your readers every single time a post goes up. The truth is, they may love your site, but no one but your mother cares that much about your site. The trick, then, is to find a balance between overwhelming your readers and not communicating with them at all.

The human brain is a phenomenal thing. It solves problems in ways incomprehensible to most people, and it responds to some information better than others.
Understanding this nature is helpful when website, business, and blog owners look to convert more of their visitors into “customers”. One tool that helps us understand this is multivariate testing.
Unlike A/B or “split” testing, multivariate testing (“MVT”) tests many aspects of a system at a time to learn of the relative impact of that change. The impact of these tests oftentimes leads to higher conversions in the form of newsletter signups, sales, feed subscriptions, and other pivotal elements that increase conversions.
In this article we’ll touch briefly on the impact of multivariate testing.

Infolinks is one of the most established and oldest in-text monetization companies. Infolinks used to be the only in-text monetization company that really mattered.
Companies with fresh ideas have painted a target on Infolinks’ back, seeking to take down the giant much like how Android and iOS tablets have cracked Microsoft.
However, instead of introducing a new technological platform like Google and Apple did with tablets and smartphones, Infolinks competitors aren’t even using substantially newer technology.
