Girls girls girls - Does sex sell in the blogging world?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
If I use pictures of saucy ladies on my site will I get more traffic?
Will people come back time and time again because somewhere in the back of their mind or the front of their pants they subconsciously associate my blog with such women? Maybe, well probably not, but let’s give it a try.
On the other hand, will it turn off female readers? What if I keep the pictures sexy, but not slutty, you know, in that grey middle-ground?
I guess I’ll give it a try just this one time, and let y’all know how it works out.

If you like this then please subscribe to the Why you need your own domain
When starting out a blog or new site, it can be tempting to use a free host like blogger.com (blogspot) or wordpress, however this may not be the best course of action, especially if you are looking to make money online with your blog. But really, even if you are running a personal blog that is not designed to earn online, you may want to consider signing up for your own domain, and hosting your blog there - otherwise, you risk your hard work going down the drain.
What do I mean? If you use blogger, wordpress.com, or any other free blogging service, you may wake up one eventful morning to find your blog has vanished, often times without explaination, because these companies have the right to remove your blog at anytime, for any reason. It’s not worth taking the chance, afterall, domains are cheap, and there are many reasonable and reliable hosting companies that would be happy to host your blog and leave you in control of your creative works.
Choosing a Wordpress Theme
Starting a new blog, or simply in the market for a different Wordpress theme? Style and visual appeal are important when trying to make money online, so choosing the right blog theme is a serious task. I did a google search for wordpress templates to find there are many sites devoting to providing such, some doing a much better job than others. When I’m looking for a theme I want something that is eye-pleasing but equally user-friendly. I like something easy to use as I am not overly technical, and don’t have time to monkey around with html.
A good site I found for my purposes is http://wordpress.pro. They have a nice selection of themes and a search function. The best I’ve found so far, at least.
