It’s Hard For Bloggers To Write Timeless Content

Many blogs write about software tutorials and using websites guides but then the next version of the software comes out and the site gets or kicks out some features that it had added which often happens with Google Products and this kills off the Content Duration of your posts. Soon after they will be seen as outdated and no longer relevant by search engines and you will see a decline in traffic and not know what to do about it. How long content will last is something many bloggers forget about when writing posts but at the same time thinking too much about the length your content will last can also lead to less writing and even long periods of bloggers block.

In some cases you can try to rewrite your older content to become more relevant in the current time but sometimes this is not always that easy and even worth the effort. This is where you have to reinvent your blog and that can be a problem if your blog is a time niche blog such as a blog about a pacific model of computer, camera or phone like many gadget blogs out there in the blogosphere, I dont’t know  if people still use that word I am not sure since I do not get to read many blogs anymore mostly because I can be a little lazy if I see something is not really worth spending the time doing like reading the same stuff with new words.

This is why it’s kind of important to have a second or 3rd blog at least but keeping them all updated can be a problem without a content plan but as you all know plans never seem to work out but planning gets things done.

Here are 5 tips if you see this content expiry trend happening on your blog or website 

1. Try To Think Of New Content Ideas

2. Take A Look At Older Content That You Can Update

3.Think About Innovation On Your Content By Blending In A New Topic

4. Make A Short Term Content Plan And Experiment A Little With New Things To Write About To See If It Works Tell Your Readers Why You Are Doing This If You Think They Might Not Understand.

5. Stop Visiting The Same Old Sites Each Day If The Are Not Inspiring You This Could Be The Cause Of Your Lack Of New Long Term Content Plans As Inspiration is what Bloggers Thrive Upon.


An Alternative Approach To Stabilize Adsense Earnings

— by on — Leave a reply

I spent a long time trying to increase my Adsense earnings with my blogs but despite using filters for bad advertisers, Better ad placement and Section Targeting . Plus a few other Tweaks to increase earnings with Adsense I have noticed that no matter what I do with the Ads on my sites earnings have become way to unstable over the past Year or more but what I am Earning Online With Adsense has become way too unstable. Sure I can keep writing blog posts and hope to get more blog traffic but it seems no matter how much more traffic I get the amount I earn after making changes never seems to build up to anything Stable. It seems that most months their is a slight hike in earnings around mid month but then the rest of the month is very poorly performing despite a near equal location and CTR. Have you noticed this trend in your online earnings with Adsense ? or do you know of a more dependable income source for professional and semi professional bloggers.

I could have spent hours even days reading about this topic, But since blogs are something that you can take with you anywhere I have taken an indirect approach to help me increase my earnings. You see I was living in a small town after living in cities most of my life by my life I mean after I was old enough to move away from the dead end region I am from. People say small towns are nice and quite places to live because of the lack of crime and so on but they are not.

In my own personal opinion small towns are hellholes because if you are not into the inbred culture you can’t communicate with people. And when you lack social contact you do not know what people want or need in bigger towns are cities you can look out for things people need or want without invading their privacy. When you have a better idea of what people want or need you can then start to market good or services to people. And when you are marketing goods and services the bids on the ads running on your sites increase and this increases your earnings and might make them more stable. So although quite drastic it may sound just moving out of town to a better place is a real alternative to increasing online earnings if you are good enough at blogs it’s very easy to do and a change of place might inspire you to come up with new content ideas and help you create more income online with Adsense and other online earning opportunities .

Know the Speed that People Read Blog Posts

It takes an average person 1 minute to read about 150 words so why not take this into account when placing an email opt in pop-up form on your site.

choosing the Best Time for Your Pop up Form To Appear

First you will need to know the average amount of words for each post on your blog if you are unsure install the estimated reading time plugin for WordPress view some random blog posts and work out your blog post word count average.To Work out your Estimated reading time you may need to Download the Estimated Reading Time Plugin for WordPress .The plugin is not necessary to keep installed once you have your average blog post word count but you may want to keep it for some other reason.

Optin Forms are Useless Without Targeting.

If you place a optin form for a make money system on a page that is showing a tutorial on fixing your laptop your visitors will see it as irrelevant to your text anyway especially if it loads when they are reading your content and want to get their computer problem solved. They will become distracted and leave your page instantly pop up forms are as annoying as these pop ups that appear on sites

 

 

Give Visitors Time To Read Before Asking To Optin

After taking into account the time you want your opt in pop up to load you do not want a pop-up loading when visitors are reading an article so your pop up delay time should be set either for the second page view or when visitors have read the article for example if your blog post was 300 words that would take 2 minutes to read depending on the text. So setting your pop up to a 120000 ms delay will allow your visitors to read the content and then decide to opt in to your list and not just close your pop up and go back to the search results page on Google.This will help in gaining Target email subscribers for Email Newsletters that result in higher open rates and more sales
