			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a while since I posted. I have been really sick for a while, and haven&#8217;t been doing  as much as I would like to be doing. I wanted to add a little something today, now that I have been actually coming back to the regular activities of life the last 2 days. Vic had a recent post about Niche blogging, and there is something I want to point out that I have been learning and still learn sometimes.</p>
<p>I know a lot of you have some great blogs out there, and love what you write about, but it is so important to not put all your eggs in one basket. Now I know I have mentioned that before, but I really mean it. Below is a list of the things I have been dabbling in, and I feel if you are working online to make money, then you need to really give all these avenues some consideration.</p>
<ul>
<li>Niche Blogging</li>
<li>Local Blogging</li>
<li>Affiliate marketing</li>
<li>Social Marketing</li>
<li>Forums</li>
</ul>
<p>If you focus on one particular income stream, then you are setting yourself up for instability. The reason being is that there is no one thing that is stable. Your blog could be gone tomorrow.</p>
<p>If you think that having a bunch of niche blogs will just be fine, and that you will make money in this way for the next 10 years, don&#8217;t fool yourself. These streams of income could be gone for you tomorrow for one reason or another.  There is no real security on the internet, and I have seen whole businesses flop over night.</p>
<p>This is why it is so important to learn multiple things. By learning new ways to make money online, then you can be versatile, and you can be ready in case one stream of revenue dries up for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, first of all I am just adding nasty in the title to give this post some flare. Remember Office space where Jennifer Aniston played a waitress that didn&#8217;t have enough flare? Thats right, that always comes to my mind when I say flare now. Totally off the subject, but anyways&#8230;</p>
<p>So I was  working on my butt implants blog right, and it disappeared, so I am sure some of you were thinking what a failionaire I was. Ok folks it came back as I said it would, and it is ranking higher as I said it would. This is with a blogspot blog that is about one week old, and I am ranking on the 3rd page of Google for my term Butt Implants. Ok ok I know its not really that hard to rank for a term that gives me back about 190,000 results, but hey if you think your good enough to make this happen quick be my guest. After all what I am really trying to do is just show you a positive outcome.</p>
<p>Lets briefly look at why I picked this small niche as an example. First of all I searched for the amount of competition and the amount of searches per month, and then I used te <a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal" rel="nofollow">adwords tool</a> to look at how much the CPC was as well. Heres a little screen shot for you of what advertisers might pay for a term based on Googles results. As you can see butt implants and buttock implants are the keywords to focus on, and so thats what I am doing. I will be adding adsense later, but I wan to first get into position in Google before I do this.</p>
<p><a href="http://blendworx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/adwords-tool.gif" title="adwords-tool.gif"><img src="http://blendworx.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/adwords-tool.gif" alt="adwords-tool.gif" /></a></p>
<p>Ok, I never worked the D-list with this blog and I probably wont. Do I really need to explain why. I don&#8217;t think people will be to cool approving butt implants on their blogs as a name. What I will tell you is that I was able to rank on the third page for several reasons. I kept writing to have fresh content, and I kept link building, and I started to submit articles to directories.</p>
<p>You see its not really hard at all, but finding the niche can be difficult form the start if your not thinking as Court mentioned of everything around you as a potential niche. Now I know that it is a good idea to keep your niches private, but I like to brainstorm sometimes with a couple people. Vic being one of them. If you have a good trust between someone, you can come up with ideas a lot faster sometimes. Another guy that thought this idea of butt implants would be funny was Stan who like to play and promote <a href="http://cashfantasysports.com/">daily fantasy sports</a>.</p>
<p>Now he said &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t it be funny if you targeted butt implants and them zoomed your posts&#8221;. I said, &#8220;yea that would be funny, but I could also show people that a blogspot blog can be successful too&#8221;. So here we are about a week later and I am on the 3rd page of Google for butt implants. Ok so for the next couple days I am going to see if I can trade a link or 2 with someone on my butt implants blog, that might have a related site, or something to do with health. This is going to be hard with trying to get &#8220;butt implants&#8221; as an anchor link but lets see what happens.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you do a search right now for butt implants, you will notice that my home page is not showing. You might even search and find my whole site is not showing. Well guess what, I am not worried about that. The fact is, that when you start a blogger blog, and even a wordpress blog for that matter, you will find that sometimes when the site is just starting out that the pages might disappear. Is that something to be worried about? Not if its a new blog it isnt.</p>
<p>When you first get your blog going, it will be flopping all over Google for a little while, so you have to be patient. Yes your pages will disappear and then come back later. So the fact that my <a href="http://buttimplants.blogspot.com/2008/01/who-really-gets-them.html" title="butt implants" target="_blank">butt implants</a> blog is not showing in Google does not bother me. What does that mean I should be doing? Really I should just be acting as nothing is out of place at all. I will continue to build links, article write, as well as add new posts to let Google know I am still adding fresh stuff.</p>
<p>So if you by chance have a disappearing website when you are just getting your niche going, don&#8217;t worry about it unless you think you have done something wrong like copied other peoples articles, or put up content that is absolutely rubbish. And when I mean rubbish, I mean just repeating the same words over and over or just stuffing your posts way to much with the same keywords to the point of having a spam blog. As long as you are not doing these things, then you do not have anything to worry about. &#8220;So just keep on keepin on!&#8221;<!--bloggingzoom--></p>
