Keyword stuffing – In one word, is dangerous! I’m not scaring you off but I thought I’d share my experience with you all so that you can decide whether to use or drop the tactic, for your blog’s good. When I was thinking to write on it someday, co-incidentally, Nupur sent me the following message.

Hey Lancy,

Since you did a post on Google adsense approval, why don’t you do one on keyword stuffing and things like that which bloggers do these days to manipulate their site’s ranking?

It’ll be innovative and at the same time, informative to those who do so either intentionally or unintentionally.

I read a review where in the product’s name was typed 12 times in the review. How does Google point out that it’s keyword stuffing? Does it deduct money from the blogger’s adsense account?

Just too curious about all this. I thought that by merely visiting a blog which has Google ads on it, a blogger makes money. Read that post of yours and realized that there’s something called Cost per Click (CPC)

Hello, people!

Last April, I talked about money making with your beauty blog. (I’d also shared my income report!) Today I’ll be writing about getting adsense approval for your beauty/fashion blog! (or any other blog!) I’ve been using Google adsense on this blog for the last 5 years! (I got my approval within 2-3 months of starting MABH!). I must admit Adsense is one of the main sources of my blog income today.

Though not an expert, (there are many techie bloggers out there who knows/writes better!) I’ve acquired some knowledge about how adsense works on a beauty blog, or any other blog. This is one of the most requested posts and here goes, I’m sharing my experience with you all!

Happy Friday, everyone! Today, I’m sharing my thoughts on the blog ‘posting schedule’ and the demotivated-phase we bloggers (at least most of us!) experience every once in a while. I know I’m very bad at my posting schedule lately. The frequency of the blog posts, if you see has really been irregular and I feel like paying less time to the blog compared to how I used to work on it some 3-4 years ago.

Now – Though I click better photos than before (not that my photography skills have improved; thanks to my new DSLR!), write better content than before, something stops me from maintaining a healthy blogging schedule and I’m disappointed with myself for that! It may be my business, my health issues and all the work but again, blogging is my passion and I do not want to do less justice to it.

I’m now sharing my exact views on how I’m going to take this into my mind and how I’m going to overcome the time-issues and the demotivation problem. If you are a passionate blogger and think we are on the same boat, this post may interest you!
