As far as blogging platforms go, Blogger has always presented itself as user-friendly and quite adaptable…to an extent. If one had to compare Blogger to other instant publishing platforms available, one might have considered them a good start-up or practice publisher for the novice, with the hopes one might graduate to the likes of WordPress, etc. Indeed, for the longest time it seemed Blogger’s devotion to simplicity – a broadsheet style layout of posts, drag and drop options on the sidebar – might remain for those uninterested in bells and whistles. Recently, though, Blogger has finally introduced page publishing functionality, moving one step closer to equality in the blogging world.

Among the professional bloggers I know, many tend to lean toward WordPress for the options offered in the back end. One can create a WordPress site to resemble a high-tech, Flashy and widget-built wonder, and the even the prospect of learning enough PHP to get by with minimal customization didn’t seem to scare them away. Others, however, have liked Blogger for it simple dashboard, which allows a user to access all accounts from one port – even if the blogs aren’t hosted at Blogspot. Template design, while not as sophisticated as other platforms, does permit for customization if you have the knack for it, and now with the Pages function increases the ability to turn a Blogger blog into a full website.

Now when one logs into his/her Blogger account, each blog dashboard features a new selection under the Posting tab. Up to ten pages may be created, and use the same text box as the New Post selection. Once a page is created, you have the choice of creating a widget for your sidebar or having the page links appear horizontally below your header. Or, if you prefer to use an alternate method for linking to the pages, you can click the manual option. As you create and make pages live, advanced options include hiding certain pages from a menu, arranging their link order, and creating tabs. Blogger offers a detailed tutorial on pages at their website.

Depending on how your Blogger blog is accessible – perhaps as a tab on your main site directing visitors to updated news – you might wonder if pages are useful at all. If you have used the Blogger CMS as your main website – perhaps hosted on a third party server and connected to a unique URL, you’ll definitely find this addition handy for showcasing specific products, services, or other vital information on a static page. If your blog is only part of your online marketing strategy, you may find pages can prove beneficial in highlighting the more important aspects of your business. With specific code from a photo sharing site like Flickr or Picasa, you can create a photo album on your blog, or else adapt code from PayPal or Google Checkout to create a shopping cart. Whatever ideas you’ve had for pages on a traditional website can now be transferred to Blogger and implemented within your template.

That search engines favor weblogs in terms of relevant results makes the idea of Blogger pages all the more exciting for the novice/intermediate blogger or the site owner looking for methods of supplementing web presence. If you use Blogger for your promotion, take advantage of the Pages function to build your brand.

Craig McPherson asked:




What do you look for in a Free Money Making Affiliate Website?
That will vary from person to person. Me? I want the following.

1. In-Demand, quality products.

Do not take buyers on the internet as fools. They aren’t. They are like you and me in that they are looking for products or services to aid them in their venture, whatever that may be.

You are putting your name behind the products so even if you are just an affiliate, you want to be proud of the product you are promoting.
Of course what will build your credibility is the fact you have purchased what you are promoting and giving a sincere review of the product.
But that is your choice. Many don’t.

2.Instant Payments.

No-one wants to wait till the 15th of the month for a check. Instant payments, the minute they are made, are much better. Agree? Sure. Make sure you receive Instant payments. Ask the vendor to make this happen.

3. Presentable website.

It does not have to have all the bells and whistles but it does need to be neat, short and to the point.
Remember, If you think the site looks crappy, so will others you send there.

4.Back-up & Support

If you are new to the marketing game a helping hand can be a godsend. Ask the vendor for help anytime you need it. If they are reluctant to help, give them a miss.
The vendor should realize that you, the affiliate, are basically his silent salesmen. Without you they would probably struggle to earn enough for a Macca’s meal.

These 4 points are paramount, I think, if you are looking for a Free Money Making Affiliate Website.
There are 1,000′s out there. Take your time looking and go with your gut instinct.

In finishing I am going to give you a nickels worth of free advice. I was given this 3 years ago and chose to ignore it to my detriment.
FOCUS. I`ll say it again. FOCUS. You must choose your path and stick to it. Do not “try” something for a couple of weeks and move onto something else. If what you are doing is not getting results, tweak what it is. Chances are the affiliate program you chose is OK. It could be your methods that are holding back sales.

If your are lucky, the website you are pushing provides proven marketing tools to ensure sales.If not, make your own. it really is quite easy to knck up a banner or a text ad or even an article to attract visitors.

Bottom line is that if you follow the above points and do it with determination, you will make money with a Free Money Making Affiliate Website.

Good luck!

Thomas Eliot asked:




Are you like thousands of people who consider getting into internet marketing, yet you have no idea about how to create a business website? Would you like to be one of those people who make money online, but you have trouble getting over the technical learning curve?

Part of your trouble might be in defining what works and what doesn’t work when it comes to internet marketing. You don’t have to have a big “mother site,” with all the bells and whistles, in order to make money online. In fact, many internet marketing professionals don’t run a large mother site. Rather, they use what is known in the business as “mini-sites.”

A mini-site can be any one to five page site which focuses on selling a product or service over the internet. It doesn’t have to be complicated or even have a lot of internal links to it. It can be a simple sales page which describes a product or service and helps the reader to solve a problem. In fact, a great many business websites currently on the internet could be considered to be mini-sites.

A mini-site can recommend a product that you yourself have developed, or it can recommend someone else’s product, a business website with whose products you are affiliated. In the latter case, which is known as affiliate marketing, you would simply supply the reader with additional information about the product or service, pre-selling your prospect, while providing your recommendation through an affiliate link to the merchant’s site. The merchant’s site would then complete the job of selling the specified product.

Mini-sites are not all that difficult to build. There are free resources on the internet for you to use. Typically, you can use a free website editor and a free website template into which you would type your unique text copy. All you’d need to do is fill in the blank space on the template with your sales or pre-sales information, providing your order page or a link to an affiliate product at the end. You want to keep your business website simple, focusing the reader on accomplishing either a sale by clicking on your order page, or transferring him over via your affiliate link to the merchant’s sales page.

Your entry into internet marketing can be as simple as putting up a series of these business websites, which can then serve as your army of sales representatives that work for you 24/7. If you are serious about learning how to make money online, then learning how to put up a mini-site can be your first step toward entering the lucrative world of internet marketing.
