Consider This Before Taking Sponsored Posts

Before you decide to take your first post after getting your blog approved by one of the many blogging for profit websites that are out there. If you are worried about your Google Page Rank my advice is simple: don't take a sponsored post. If you are willing to put in the time and effort it takes to grow your brand of blogging and care about your Google Page Rank do not take a sponsored post.

The reason behind that is when Google finds out that you have been taking sponsored posts they will strip you of your Page Rank. To be honest in the whole amount of time I have been blogging I have not been able to figure out why the Page Rank system is so important. When I first started blogging I was so worried about my Page Rank that I would go and visit other blogs and see if I can leave my link behind just to increase my Page Rank. I concentrated on posting frequently and tried to make sure that each post was of good quality. Both are integral parts of making money from blogging but as for how much it relates to Page Rank; I have no idea.

If you got into blogging just for the sake of making money online working from home; there are many ways of making money online. You can make money from referrals, publishing ads, and promoting products that will earn you a commission for every sale. The general rule of thumb is that you should be blogging for fun because most ad publishers do not like having their ads on websites that are solely based on making money. Creating good content, publishing frequently and interacting with other people who blog will grow your traffic and begin making you some easy money. Monetizing a blog is easy; the hard part is knowing when enough is enough.

Anyway my point is quite simply: if you care about your Google PR don't take any sponsored posts. There are plenty of other ways to monetize your blog with out losing your PR. If you are not worried about it then go for it; because there is a lot of money in writing sponsored posts. This blog will be free of any sponsored posts as this is just me telling you how I am blundering through monetizing my own blogs. What do you think? Do the benefits of sponsored posts out weigh the value of a Google Page Rank?
