eBooks on Amazon.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Not yet, but it\u2019s slowly getting there. \u00a0Of course moving to a cheaper apartment might be an easier route towards that goal.<\/p>\nSome of the most popular ways to earn money with a blog are through Google Adsense and affiliate marketing programs.\u00a0 I\u2019ve experimented with both of these, but honestly, unless you get 10,000 people a day visiting your website (which I don\u2019t), then it hardly seems worth it. \u00a0Individual advertisers have approached me, but I\u2019ve said \u201cno\u201d so far. \u00a0I might reconsider this in the future, but at this point I don\u2019t feel like it\u2019s a good deal for either party.<\/p>\n
Ciao, Google! \u00a0Eccomi qua!<\/h2>\n
Now, if you\u2019ll notice, I\u2019ve done a couple of clever things within this post for the purposes of demonstration.\u00a0 I usually don\u2019t do much of this, but because the subject matter is about the dynamics of Internet algorithms, I\u2019ve stuffed this post full of my keyword (count how many times you see \u201cRome blog\u201d), linked to several other pages both internally (my website) and external (other authority sites), and basically hammed it up for the search engines.\u00a0 In the long run, this isn\u2019t a good strategy.\u00a0 Really you should just write, keeping Google in the back of your mind, but never let it control your thoughts.<\/p>\n
Well, I guess I\u2019ve reached the limit of my word count and I\u2019ve fulfilled my obligation of posting for this week (not to mention the number of time that I\u2019ve used the term \u201cRome blog\u201d).\u00a0 By next week I hope to have most of this technical stuff worked out and so I\u2019ll be back to pontificating on the merits and difficulties of life in Italy. \u00a0It’s more interesting and there’s still so much territory to cover!<\/p>\n
