Sometimes I spent 3 hours writing and researching for a blog article. The least time it takes me to write an article is 20 minutes, and I probably have gone 3+ hours on some articles. How much time do you spend? Wouldn’t it be a shame to not have anyone read your article because they didn’t know it existed?
Regardless of what you wrote or how long it took you. Unless you are a famous website I’m betting you were holding your breath and waiting for readers anxiously. As a blogger it may be worth it to make it a habit to spend a few minutes after your article is published to gain a few links to your article.
The secret to gaining these back links is to utilize social bookmarking web sites. My previous article explains what social bookmarking is and links you to the top 30 social bookmarking sites, if you haven’t had a chance to read it why not take a look now.

As we all know, online bookmarking services allow you to store, organize and bookmark your favorite website and easily access them from anywhere. Social bookmarking opens up your favorite links to the public, now you and everyone else can see these links, in essence you share your bookmarks with others.
Social bookmarking allows you and others to view your bookmarks chronologically, by category or by tags; it also allows search engines to see and index these bookmarks.
Social bookmarking websites rely heavily on user defined tags, and in some cases generate tag clouds. Many social bookmarking websites also provide feeds of their bookmarks, including lists organized by tags. This allows readers to spot new bookmarks very quickly, right after they are saved, shared, and tagged by other users.
The future of social bookmarking is promising. Now, most social bookmarking sites offer extra features such as comments, ratings, avatars, and browser integration.
It makes a lot of sense that you subscribe to these social bookmarking services and submit your blog articles to them for others to find.

Today I read an article by Darren Rowse on ProBlogger where he discussed 10 steps to guarantee you not to make any money blogging; and what’s better than giving advice on what to avoid rather than what to do?
All advice is good, if you listen. I found his article inspiring and very useful; but I did not like the tone or how it sounded when read. The article sounded too negative and condescending. I am sure this article was written especially to give advice in the form of what not to do, which is just fine. I just prefer advice when it’s positive, when it is about what I need to do to succeed rather what I need not do, people are more receptive to positive advice and positive criticism.
I went ahead and summarized the 10 points this time in the form of what you need to do in order to make more than 14 cents a month with AdSense. I did not agree a 100 percent with everything in Mr. Rowse’s article so I re-wrote these 10 points in my own words and based on my own experience.
