The Best of Digital Point Forums

With the hundreds of posts a day on the DP forums, the best content posts often get buried. I’ve created a section of the site to keep a list the best posts on the DP forums. Be sure and check it out.

Also, if you have any thread you’d like to nominate from the DP Forums, just leave a comment below.

Traffic Tip — Use Comments to Increase Traffic

Getting traffic to your site is the “sine qua non” of making money online. Here is a simple tip to help you get more traffic.

  • Go to the Technorati Top Blogs
  • Check out those blogs and make relevant, non-spammy comments
  • Find a way to link back to your site (many let you post your name/website)

I would suggest you only start doing this once your site has compelling content.

Celebrity Gossip Blog Demographics

Searching around blogads.com, I found an excellent survey of >6000 gossip blog readers. I recently posted on the success of a recent celebrity gossip blogger and wondered about the demographics of such readership. Inwardly, I was hoping to confirm a hunch I had about “who’ was clicking those ads.

Here’s a summary of the respondents:

  • 49% are in the 22-30 year old range
  • 77% are Female
  • Music and Books were the highest purchases online in the 0 to 100 dollar range
  • 86% read blogs for humor followed by 73% for pictures

Need I say that if you’re doing a celeb blog, you should focus on affiliates for music and books? And yes, this did confirm my hunch.
