Basic web maintenance isn’t something a lot of online entrepreneurs think about. In fact it can be quite a mundane task for most. However, it is important to keep your website ticking over smoothly.
Here are a few reasons why maintaining your website is important:
# Attracting the search engines – Search engines are important to the livelihood of your online business, but they don’t like “dead” websites. Websites which have been left static without updates or fresh content are a no-no in the online world. Another thing search engines don’t like is broken links.

Use google alerts to find websites in your niche keywords. This will give you blogs to go and comment on regularly to generate traffic and backlinks. BUT it is also really, really awesome to see your posts come up in those alerts. lol

I’m pretty sure I’ve discussed my problem with starting new projects. I’ve been doing much better this year. Now I’m not saying I haven’t started any new projects, BUT I haven’t in the last few months and I am working hard at breaking that bad habit.
By not starting new projects it leaves me time to get back into the original projects I started years ago. Now some of them haven’t necessarily been neglected, but they sure haven’t gotten the attention that they deserve. I’ve neglected to put the personal touch into one site in particular and spent some time tonight trying to rectify that.

Bloggers have come a long way. Many now sustain permanent full-time businesses simply by running a blog – often these blogs were started by “accident” and were never truly intended to be a full-time thriving business. Take for example the case of Dooce.com – it started by a lady having a little fun and is now an international success story.
If you’re thinking of becoming a blogger for pay, these tips will help you get started.

So I wrote a couple of weeks ago how much spam makes me mad. Honestly, after I started the post I could only come up with 3 ways that spam gets in my way. They are big ways, but truly, it’s ways I’ve LET spam get in my life and I know it.
Today I’d like to write about how spam helps me with my business and even with my life.
1. My workouts. That week I was so pissed from the spammer and her lies that I went jogging so I wouldn’t throw my laptop. I jogged 5 miles. So thank you spammer for my 5 mile jog.

Yes, I realize that things and people can only take the power away from me that I give them. But spammers just make me so angry! Especially by the time I’ve been spammed over a few months to MANY email accounts so you know they are harvesting emails from sites and blogs. Today I had one of those major moments. They had once again harvested emails from Mineralicious and I was tired of seeing the same email I’ve seen to many other email addresses I had. So I hit them up and bcc’d the owner of Mineralicious as well to let her know I was calling said spammer out.

Blogs are popular ways to create an online presence for personal and business reasons. You can build a blog for free and begin posting content right away. But, what good is that content if no one is reading it. Here are ten ideas to bring in the traffic your blog needs to survive.
Of all the successful blogs on the Internet, hundreds more have failed. Running a blog is like running a business website. Unless you are willing to put the time in and treat it seriously, you won’t be blogging long.
