Things I've Learned in 3 Months of Blogging

Here is a list of things that I've learned over my brief 3 months of trying to make money with adsense, blogging and web site development:

1. DO have fresh and releveant content on whatever you are posting.

2. Do NOT just copy another story completely. It's okay to reference other stories or blogs and talk about them but don't just take the entire story and paste it into your blog.

3. Keep you site updated and make sure it's accurate.

4. Don't overwhelm your site with ads.

5. Create a visually appealing layout. How often have you gone to a site and just got lost in the content or been turned off by the layout? Create a site where people like to come and they will keep coming back.

6. Don't make too many changes. I've been through at least 4 iterations of my blog and 2 iterations of my golf site. It's hard to keep loyal readers when you keep changing so much. I'm hoping that my content has found a home for good now. I think the next 3 months will be far different than the first 3 months.

7. Do read other blogs and leave comments and see what's going on "out there". I think this is related to staying relevant.

8. Do put the Snorg Tees girl on your site. If anything, it's just some visual relief from all the words! LOL!
