If you are starting to blog and hoping to use this as an income, then you will be full of questions. Here are a few of those that I have seen and been asked the most!

Is blogging an income simple? - Yes and no! The actual blogging is easy and earning the money does not take that long, but you do need to put in the groundwork so that the site is prepared.

Will I be able to make an income straight away? - Sadly, a lot of bloggers think that as soon as you create a weblog you will be able to make an income. This is far from the case. Advertisers are not only giving away their marketing budgets, they want something in return and you need to provide that.

What are you selling when you blog? - As a blogger, you are selling one, or both, of two things. First, exposure to your visitors. If you have hundreds of traffic per day and these are interested in the advertiser's product, then this is a good advertising opportunity. Also, a lot of advertisers are wanting to increase their search engine rankings, so if you have a good Page Rank, then that is another selling point.

What is Page Rank? - Page Rank is Google's measure of the number of web-sites that are pointing to your site. The higher the ranking (from 0 to 10), the more sites you have linking to you and the more vital they are. Therefore, the more important you are.

What is Alexa Ranking? - This is a measure of the number of visitors that are arriving on your web site. Various widgets sample visitors and from these work out how plenty of people visit your website. The lower the number, the higher your sampled visitors levels are.

Does a high Page Rank give ample of visitors? - In the last week I have seen a web site or Page Rank 5 with an Alexa Ranking of 7,200,000 ( I didn't realise it went that high!) and a Page Rank 2 web site with an Alexa Ranking of round 700,000. So no, Page Rank is just a measure of your inbound links.

How do I get a Page Rank? - Any links in to your site that are not hidden, such as with the rel="nofollow" tag, count. So article writing, guest blogging, a few blog comments and sharing on blog rolls could all increase the links in to your website. The higher the Page Rank on the website linking to you, the more you gain.

How do I increase visitors? - This is a big question! Writing articles will get some traffic and help you to increase your search engine optimisation, but you need to write stacks of fresh, unique content that is targeted to specific keywords and compliment this with incoming links to increase the search engine traffic.

Could paid blogging harm my site? - Never say never. In my view, as long as there are not too a lot of paid posts and you are writing a load of content posts then the paid activities should merely be a small part of your site and then the search engines should not punish you.
