Hi Farhan,
It's Pawan Agarwal from MaxBlogPress.com
A blog that is set-up for making money on the Internet works
differently than blog that are set-up for fun.
One thing for sure is that when profit is the word, you need
to do these 5 things differently:
1- Keyword Research
------------------------------
If you just want to blog for fun you can write about anything
you want.
But if you're blogging for profit, you need to research a list
of keywords and build a list of it that you want to target for
the search engines.
You'll be able to use the free keyword research tools here:

2- On-Site Search Engine Optimization
------------------------------
SEO is definitely important for getting more traffic from
Google and other search engines.
The good news is that with Wordpress, all you need to do to
drastically improve your SEO is to download the right plugins
and do minor tweaks with them.
Each post your wirte must focus on getting ranked for the
keywords, while maintaining a good, read-able article.
3- Off-Site Search Engine Optimization
------------------------------
You must get as many links as possible to your blog.
But links alone are not enough. The links themselves must
use an "anchor text" based on your list of keywords and
you'll need to get a variety of links:
a) Reciprocal link exchange (least effective)
b) 3-Way Link Exchange (more effective)
c) Pure one-way links (most effective)
Of the three, getting one-way links are the most difficult
but you can do that by submitting articles to this site:

4- Mini-Blogs Vs Large Blogs
------------------------------
You don't need a huge blog like TechCrunch.com to be able
to make profits.
In fact, most people build "mini" Wordpress blogs. What
this means is that instead of blogging continuously for
the rest of their lives, they create a blog that focuses
on a very, very small niche topic.
Then, they determine the number of posts or articles they
need to write. They then write those articles, and convert
their Wordpress blog into a "site" using the "static front
page" option in Wordpress.
Now instead of a blog that you need to stick with daily,
you can move on to a different niche market and create a
blog there.
All that's left with the first blog is to continuously
build more links to it and get more traffic.
Maybe one day you can come back and add more articles
to the first blog, but one thing's for sure this tactic
works.
Wordpress is a blog platform, but it can also work like
a normal site if you know how to do it.
5- Having an Exit Strategy
------------------------------
Ok so you built your blog, you got 1000 RSS subscribers
but now you're sick of it.
The worst thing you can do is to continue blogging after
you've lost interest in the topic.
So you need an exist strategy. You can either:
a) Convert the blog into a static site and enjoy the
residual income but stop writing new posts
b) Demolish the blog and redirect all traffic to your
other site using a 403 redirect.
c) Sell the blog on popular marketplaces like at:

Wow...
Is that enough information overload for today?
As much as I try to cover all aspects of blogging for profit
it's near impossible to do it via emails.
What I can do is give you a really good recommendation,
especially if you're interested in building Wordpress blogs
and making money from Google Adsense:

The guide, called "Wordpress Adsense System" by my friend
Gobala Krishnan has been one of the best-sellers in it's
category since 2006, and still going strong.
In fact, he even gives you the "before and after" facts of
blogs belonging to his early customers. These are really
powerful testimonials indeed!
This guide covers most of what I just said in this email,
