It’s an absolutely huge subject and when you start looking at things like optimising your site for the search engines, ranking for keywords and latent semantic indexing (!) it can soon get complicated.

I was lucky enough to win a ticket to a seminar being held in the UK October 5th-7th so I’ll be pinning back my ears for any gems of wisdom.

The registration for the seminar is still open so I’ve included their banner below in case anyone from the UK might like to attend. Of course, you need to be from the UK, free in October and have enough money to pay for the seminar – oh, and be interested in learning about internet marketing too. So it should appeal to a fairly wide audience then!

There’s a great website at blog reviews which allows you to get paid for your posting. I can certainly see that would encourage some people to post to their blog more frequently.

The biggest problem, that I’ve seen anyway, in the blogosphere is when a good site starts up and then dies some time into it. I suppose there must be dozens of reasons why that could happen, such as illness, lack of time, lack of interest. But surely lack of motivation must be one of the biggest causes?

Payperpost is a website that I joined recently. It’s a given that they pay you for making a post and the amount can vary from a couple of dollars to $15 or $20. I don’t think anyone will ever retire on that kind of money, but for many people it might just make the difference between making a post and not bothering.

The site itself is clean, colourful and easy to use. Very Web 2.0, in fact.

I’ve suggested to my brother that he signs up and starts making a blog. He has a computer. He has the internet. He has time.

He has no motivation.

Getting paid for blogging might actually change that.

I’ve even got signup links to the site on the bottom of all my posts now. There are so many people out there blogging for free. I think it would be pretty good if more joined in this cultural change.

I highly recommend you spend a minute to visit and have a read – it will illuminate one part of the human condition for you. Quite sad, wistful and beautifully crafted.

When I read it it transported me into the mind of my favourite opera’s heroine, yet when I watch the opera, Madama Butterfly, I usually associate with the lead male, Pinkerton, particularly his remorse at the end.

Susan’s piece is highly evocative – go visit now.
