Advertisers and paid blogging systems will judge your site using some, or all, of the following factors:
* Quality posts
* Number of incoming links
* Google Page Rank
* Alexa Rating
* Technorati Authority
Some may also give you a piece of code so that they might count your traffic, but we will leave that for now, assuming that sorting the above helps you gain stacks of traffic. So, what do you do to get the best prospective ratings on the factors above for your blog so you are earning as much as potential?
First, the easiest thing to do is to make sure that you are writing lots of quality posts. Get someone else to proof read them if you are not 100% certain of your English and make sure they are original, interesting content. This gives advertisers something to view and search engines loads of bait to possibly send you traffic.
As soon as prospective you should do something about your Technorati Authority and your Alexa rating. Starting to help push these now could still be showing improvements in a few months. For Technorati, you need to sign up for an account and claim your website. Then every time there is a link to your weblog from another website your Authority is increasing. It takes time for these links to develop, so do this quickly.
The same applies for Alexa. It is a measure of your internet visitors more than time - the more visitors you are getting the lower (better) your Alexa rank. Obviously, increasing your traffic improves your Alexa ranking, but there is also a theory that installing the Alexa button on your web site allows them to track every visitor and can improve your ranking. So your next step to prepare your website is to install that simple button!
Lastly, we only need to look at inbound links. This is going to help your Technorati Authority where these links come from the body of a weblog post, whilst all suitable links to your site will help to improve your Page Rank. So three measures will be improved by getting more links!
You might do this is several ways. For a start, article writing might be very successful. Rewrite some of your posts and submit them to article sites. Not merely can this give you quality links, but some of the readers will call into your blog and probably follow your RSS feed. This, therefore, improves your Alexa rating (but not Technorati - the links are from directories). If you are lucky, some blog owners will pick up and reprint your articles on their websites - more links in and probably counted by Technorati.
There are other ways of building links, such as guest blogging, where you get a site owner to publish your work on their weblog in return for a few links to your site. Some sites also remove the rel="nofollow" from comments and it could be well worth leaving meaningful comments on these.
So, the important steps to prepare your website for earning are:
* Write quality posts
* Claim your weblog with Technorati
* Add the Alexa button
* Build a network of links through articles, guests posts, comments and so on
