Is it really a complicated question?

If you want me to answer this question in one sentence then my answer would be – If you want success as an Internet entrepreneur or a marketer or a blogger or want to be one of them in the near future, then you must be driven by two important things – Traffic and Profit. Serious blogging works best in providing you both of them.

Before going into details on this topic, let me talk about myself first.

Let’s See In A Nutshell – Why Should You Blog?

Blog is easier to start, maintain and update than a static website. You don’t even need to bother about technical know-how to start your own blog.

Blog converts visitors into buyers just as well, and often it is much better than static websites.

Blog allows you to sell your own product and others’ products if all of them are targeted to your niche audience and properly blended with blog content.

Blog enables you to attract laser-targeted traffic and prospective buyers, which you never achieve with so-called traditional online marketing methods like PPC marketing, email marketing, squeeze pages and others.

Benefits Of Blogging For Online Entrepreneurs & Marketers

If you are an online entrepreneur or an online marketer or a blogger or want to be one of them, then this portion of this post is very very important for you!

Recent online market study in the 4th quarter of 2008 showed that -

• There is an overall drop in online advertising budget.
• There is an overall drop in prices of ads of all types for websites of all sizes.

This study essentially signifies that the businesses of all sizes reduced their aggressive marketing effort to some extent.

It would definitely hit advertising revenue of websites of all sizes.

Now, the question is – how you cope with this situation?

The best way to counteract this situation is to show your Accountability.

Blogs and websites need to be more accountable to retain the same online advertising revenue.

How To Get Your Blog More Accountable?

We already know from our previous post that – Blogs & Content Rich Sites Become Advertisers’ Prime Target!

But to make your blog the prime target of your favorite advertisers, you need to keep focus on the following issues. It will automatically build your accountability. It will automatically justify the advertisements on your blog.

Quality Content:

There is nothing better than quality content.

Write new blog entries regularly to provide business specific solutions relevant to your blog topic so that more and more people visit your blog on regular basis to get fresh new quality content and interesting ideas. And the consequence is – you’ll be able to make an impact on your people’s mind. Don’t forget – if your targeted people get valuable and unique content in terms of solution on your blog, they’ll become regular and permanent visitors. It will also build your accountability.

Personal Approach

Try to address each visitor personally. Though you are writing your blog entries once but it should address each and every visitor personally. It should satisfy his or her specific need as if you are talking to him or her one to one. Personal approach is the best way to directly connect to your readers and it creates some kind of bonding with them. It will bring them again and again to your blog.

Targeted Advertisement

Don’t advertise just anything on your blog. Advertise only those products or services that are closely targeted to your blog theme. They must be relevant to your niche market and most importantly; your visitors should get benefited from them. The best situation is to place only those ads, which can be perfectly blended with your blog content. Your readers should get them just not as advertisements but as recommendations from you. Better to select those products or service which are perfectly match to your blog subject and write review on them sharing your personal insights on it and describing how your visitors will directly be benefited from them.

Conclusion:

I hope you would admit these key activities could be instrumental in building your credibility as well as accountability. If you can achieve that, it is obvious that you can monetize your blog with perfect advertising strategy mentioned above.

Good news for Bloggers – you must be excited to know that blogs and content rich websites are becoming advertisers’ prime target for ad effectiveness compared to the websites like search engines, portals or ad networks.

David Hallerman in his article Brand Building and Types of Websites on
emarketer told that ” … ads placed on content sites get better results than those on portals or sold through ad networks.”

In his article he mentioned about the research released by Online Publishers Association
(OPA) and the brand metric data delivered by Dynamic Logic.

In his analysis he pointed out that the aided brand awareness metric was up by 38% on OPA member sites, which were basically content rich websites. On the other hand it went down significantly in case of websites in general, portals and ad networks.

Let’s See What Online Business Trend Suggest?

Recently developed online marketing trend directly suggests that the advertisers who really want to improve their brand awareness are specifically inclined to run their ads on content rich websites simply because rich content significantly improve their ad effectiveness.

It also suggests that high quality original content provide higher ad performance compared to all other normal websites including portals and ad networks.

If we analyze the trend, we will find one simple truth behind it and it is nothing but the quality advertising-environment that delivers better results.

Why Brand Advertising Is More Effective On Content Rich Websites?

Fist of all let’s find the significant difference between the content rich websites and others?

The content-rich websites actually provide quality fresh content according to their business theme. People spent their quality time to stay here in a relaxing mood to get value from the content. They normally read their favourite articles or see interesting videos on their favourite topics.

If these content-rich websites provide well formatted ads blended properly with the content and specific to the topic of the content, then it is obvious that people react more positively to the ads. As a result of that, the ads get more response.

On the other hand when people use search engines or a portal for checking their emails or headlines, or going through share value or weather report, they normally be in rush and click through more rapidly to fulfill their short-term objective. They are not in a mood to stop at those websites for a while and pay attention to the surrounding advertisements.

So, from the difference in people’s perspective, it is very much clear that brand advertising is more effective in the content rich websites rather than other websites like search engines, portals and ad networks.

That’s why advertisers are becoming more and more interested in placing their ads on content rich websites.
