Presented by Dr Michael Evans, University of Reading
ProBlogging is the art of writing professional blogs to a wide web
audience for profit. Thanks largely to innovations in the online
advertising business, professionally written blogs can now earn
significant income if implemented correctly.
This presentation will focus on the evolution of Dr. Evans's own
ProBlog, MobileMentalism.com, which, over the past two years, has
gained a readership of over 160,000 unique visitors per month, and
which generates an extremely healthy profit. The presentation will
discuss the various components of ProBlogging, showing how it is a
fascinating blend of art and science, craft and technology, and will
give an insight into the underlying dynamics of the Web that makes
ProBlogging both possible and successful.
Finally, the presentation will give some tips on the keys to
ProBlogging success, and through detailed analysis of server logs and
other Web metrics, will show just how much the majority of Web sites
now depend upon Google.
