			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Publishing a newsletter is a good way to give more value to your visitors and driving repeat traffic to your site to boost your sales and increase your profits.By publishing a newsletter you keep on reminding your subscribers that you are still here and are willing to offer them good deals and services.</p>
<p>By publishing a newsletter you can show your expertise and knowledge about the topic your business is about and show your subscribers the many benefits you can offer them.When you impress people, they will become potential customers and they can recommend you to their friends, family and colleagues as well.Publishing a newsletter is not as easy as it seems, you will need to have the right idea and the right balance between giving valuable information and promoting your services. </p>
<p>(If you publish only articles and not promoting your products, you will not make any money.If you only promote your products, people will unsubscribe because they are not getting any information, just advertising.)</p>
<p>There are a few things you need to consider when you are publishing a newsletter:</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong>You must make sure that the content of your newsletter is closely associated with your business.If you are offering home business marketing tips, then your newsletter must provide valuable information about these things and promote products related to home business.If you are an expert in a certain area, make full use of it.Be sure that when you publish your newsletter you are providing for the need of the subscriber as well as their interests.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong>The content in your newsletter must be well written.By this I mean information rich articles that are checked for spelling errors and grammatical errors.Your newsletter must look professional and believable.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong>Fast-check your articles to make sure you provide true facts and figures.If you lose the trust of your subscribers these may persuade them to unsubscribe to your newsletter.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong>Fresh and new information is always appreciated.If you publish stale and old news in your newsletter, there is a possibility that your newsletter subscribers have all ready read the same information somewhere else.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong>Do not use copyrighted photos and articles.Plagiarism may get you into trouble.If you do not have time to write your own articles, outsource the writing.This investment will pay itself back when you see your traffic increasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Kontera offers a new way for you to monetize your blog.Kontera is a contextualized ad service that places content links to relevant ads inside your blog content.With in-text advertising, the advertisers brand is linked to a relevant keyword appearing in the content which is then matched to the advertisers ad.The content link will be visible to the visitor only as a link in your blog content and there will be no banners or ad units to clutter up your site.</p>
<p>If you are using Google Adsense at the moment, you can also start using Kontera because these two are fully compatible and complement each other.(Google changed their terms of service.)</p>
<p>Kontera uses an algorithm and other technology to figure out what your content is a about and highlights some of the words in your all ready written content.Only when the visitor places the mouse over a highlighted word in the blog content, will a small box appear with more information.The ad disappears when the mouse is removed from the link or the ad is clicked on.</p>
<p>As an example, let´s say your blog post is about Acer laptop computers.Kontera might highlight the words &#8220;Acer&#8221; and &#8220;computer&#8221; at some points in your post.If the visitor wanted to know more about these topics, all he would do is bring the mouse over a highlighted word and an advertisement would appear.If the ad is interesting enough he would click and you would earn a commission.</p>
<p>Kontera automatically chooses the highest paying ads for your site, the ads are unobtrusive because users don´t see them unless they want to, and the ads are very targeted too.Basically, all you need to do is sign up, place the code on your blog and you are done.</p>
<p>Kontera also offers an affiliate program.To be accepted you will need to be a publisher who has run contentlink ads for 3 months, have a revenue of $100 or more each month and have a good standing in Kontera.When a new publisher signs up through your affiliate link, you will receive a referral bonus of 10% of their net revenue for the first year with Kontera.</p>
<p>Kontera has also a special &#8220;invite a friend&#8221; program where you will earn $25 for each friend you bring and becomes an active Kontera publisher.</p>
<p>These are the rules that apply when I write this article, but often rules change at some point so I recommend visiting  Kontera to be sure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I just read an excellent <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/no-comment/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.chrisbrogan.com');">blog post by Chris Brogan called No Comment</a> where he discusses the problem of why some people are getting lots of blog comments on their posts and others get no comments at all, or very few, even though they put in the effort of writing content that is helpful and gives value.</p>
<p><strong>What is the solution?</strong></p>
<p>Should you:<br />
- Write better content?<br />
- Write more niche content?<br />
- Check your spelling?<br />
- Make it easier for people to comment on your blog?<br />
- Give incentives for commenting on your blog?<br />
- Make your self better known online by commenting on other peoples blogs?</p>
<p>Are you getting lots of comments on your blog posts? Leave a comment.</p>
