Using your own domain

I was researching transferring this blog to my website when I discovered that Blogger will let you point your domain to your blog so it looks as if it's being hosted on its own site! The benefits of at least looking like your host is on its own domain is that advertisers prefer that to blogs that are maintained on free sites such as Blogger.

So I was all excited about this little discovery when I realized that even if I did that, I'd still have to follow Blogger rules in regards the content of my blog. Since I don't want to have any limitations on how I can make money blogging, I'm going to stick with my plan of eventually moving this blog to its own domain - Guide to Internet Income.

Looking at different hosting packages, I came across Host Monster. Feature rich and really cheap. Pretty good reviews, so I think I'll go with them.

Traffic, Traffic, I need Traffic

In an effort to get more eyeballs to my site, I joined a few traffic exchanges. Over time, some proved to be worth the effort and others were not so effective. One of the best ones so far has been ClickPirate . I've gotten a steady stream from them. I also like Traffic Swarm , the traffic is more targeted since users get to pick which site they want to view. I dropped Traffic Soldiers and Top Surfer because neither one of them sent many hits my way. And Top Surfer bombards your inbox with emails from its members. Any recommendations for good traffic exchanges?

Building traffic and getting paid - Sweet!

One of the free ways to build traffic for your website is to post to forums and place a link in your signature file. I've been testing this out in a forum I recently joined and I can tell you that it works. Hits to my site have increased steadily and about 50% have come from this forum. The added bonus is, I get paid to post! It's not much, I've made about a buck over there but considering I'm promoting my website and getting paid to do so, it's all good, lol. If you want to check it out, follow this link . BTW, if your blog is about making money, get it listed on my site Guide to Internet Income .
