Most people in the world of search marketing have heard of Shawn Hogan’s success with Digital Point, a success story based on his implementation of an AdSense revenue sharing system for members of his forum.

With blogs being such a collaborative thing, you might be interested in the AdSense Sharing Revenue and Earnings System. This is a plugin (installed as per usual with Wordpress plugins) that shares any revenue generated by AdSense displayed within the content in your blog at a ratio of 50:50.

So if you have a few freelance writers, or maybe you want to stimulate the growth of user generated content on your blog - this is the plugin for you.

I’ve just got married, and hence my finances (or what is left of them) are a little more constrained. So naturally I have been neck-deep in bills like never before. But what this means is that I have first hand experience with saving money while spending money. That sounds a bit weird but that’s the way it is. Life is about balances, and your financial life is all about how you can balance your outgoings with your incomings.

For what it’s worth, here are a few tried and tested tips that have really helped me.

Yep, me and Lindsay tied the knot on Tuesday the 25th July and we’re now on our way to our honeymoon in Koh Samui … which is both well deserved and highly anticipated!

I’m currently 30,000 ft above the eastern coast of India with Lindsay (the new Mrs. B) onboard Etihad Flight EY704 from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. We’ve been up since 5:30 AM GMT and have been traveling since. We have another couple of hours to go before we get to Bangkok, where we will then have to wait around for another 3 hours before catching our flight to Koh Samui. Needless to say, we can’t wait! If you are on a new Boeing 777 and can get online, why not try it out? Prices are as you would expect, pricey. But then you are paying for a somewhat specialized service.

So, BoydCreative will be on hold for about 2 weeks. I had planned on lining up a series and post dating them, but between ordinary work, fixing up our house and last minute wedding preparations I had no time!

If I do get the time, I’ll post. Just don’t hold your breath!

One of the most effective ways for you to significantly boost traffic to your blog is to go viral. Now that sounds easy, but in actual fact it is anything but simple. You need something original, catchy and catering for a niche that has not been saturated … so put your thinking cap on!

If you want to take your site to the next level then use these popular Web 2.0 services to your advantage. They serve millions of pageviews each and every day, the traffic is there. You just need it to see you!

Recently I wrote about how you can monetize your blog, and one of those ways was through Google AdSense. So to continue on with that train of thought I decided to give out a few tips to help you maximize your AdSense earnings.

Just one point though to start with. This is not intended for a webmaster about to setup a new site. I am writing this for those of you who already own a blog or website but have yet to see AdSense perform for you.
