Our New Home

Posted on July 20, 2010
Category: blogging | Leave a Comment

Okay, apologies for the delay in following up on the server move, but it happened and went pretty much without too many problems. All blogs were moved successfully across and it looks like everything is where it should be.

So if anyone has any problems, please contact admin via the forum and let us know.

So, what next? Well, its business as usual for most people and their blogs, so if you’ve been keeping your own blog up to date with fresh, original and readable content and building backlinks the right way, then you should, by now be seeing some improvement in serps rankings and traffic increase.

The whole idea is to get ranked well in the search engines to attract that all important traffic to your blogs so that people can find you and read what you have to tell them about your subject of expertise. If you can monetize that traffic with PPC or affiliate products, so much the better so you can make money online. After all, why else would anyone want to write a blog if they weren’t going to earn any income for their efforts?

Keep up the good work and keep those posts coming because the more content you get onto your blogs and the more pages you can get indexed, the more authority you will gain for your blog and that can only be good for you, your blog and your online business!

In the immortal words of whoever said them, you can never fail if you never give up, so… never give up!

Thanks,
Admin

Moving Servers

Posted on May 25, 2010
Category: blogging | Leave a Comment

Hi everyone, this is just a short note to let everyone know that we are moving servers today and that your blogs may not be available for a few hours while this takes place.

To be on the safe side, please do not update your blogs today or within 24 hours of this notice – to give everything a chance to settle down after the database has been moved.

You should be fine to log in tomorrow and everything should seem the same as it was.

The only difference is that some of the old themes will no longer be there while some new ones have been added. So if you display your blog and you get a white screen in your browser, you need to log in via

yoursite.blogtides.com/wp-admin

and change your theme to one from the list.

Thanks,
Admin

The Revenue Sharing Aspect

Posted on March 26, 2010
Category: Advertising | 1 Comment

This site, being the host of a group of user blogs has a revenue share aspect built in that you are probably already aware of in that you can choose to display PPC ads from Adsense or Chitika, contextual ads from Kontera or even affiliate ads from Amazon if you wish. There is also a section for eBay, but as they changed the rules disallowing affiliates from displaying ads on domains they don’t directly own, you shouldn’t be showing them on your blogtides blog.

They way it works is that whatever ads you display on your blogs, you get 80% of the revenue, with 20% going to the admin account as a small token of appreciation for the provision of this blogging platform.

Just today, I and I imagine all publishers of Chitika ads got an email pointing out changes to the rules, the basic point being that your domains now must be approved to display Chitika ads. This is a good thing, as it will weed out MFA sites and ensure their ads are only displayed on legit, worthwhile sites.

The reason for bringing this up in a post is that there seems to have been a problem with the revenue share plugin we are using which was not allowing those ads to display, meaning Chitika was not seeing any activity from this domain and so have not approved it. So we have to go through the approval process before we can display their ads and that includes all of the blogs hosted here. The plugin has now been updated and we’ll just have to wait awhile before we get the thumbs up to carry on with business as usual.

In the meantime, of course you can use Adsense, Kontera and Amazon as before. Make sure that your individual blogs are active if you have the revenue share active for Chitika to make sure they approve all subdomain blogs along with the host.

Thanks,
Admin
