Here's my reasoning. My personal development articles take a lot of research to write. Some of them take hours and hours of writing and in most cases I have to condense so much into one article that it's hard to blast them out very fast. Meaning, it will be very difficult in my current circumstances to write a post or a few posts a day.

SO, I decided to start the other blog on Making Money Online because there I always have some snippet of information that I learned that I can whip up in an article in 10minutes. Therefore I can have much smaller but way more frequent articles there, and I think that seems to be a good way to get traffic going to a new blog. People don't seem to like a blog that writes an article every week or two, they want daily.

Once I get the money making one much more successful I can find creative ways to funnel traffic to my first blog.

For example, imagine having a blog on "Stupid Things Britney Spears Did Today". Just think how easy that would be to update daily!

That's one reason. The second reason is that I need to learn how to build traffic to my SelfHelpWisdom.com site, and one thing I've learned in life is that if you really want to learn something, teach it!

One forum I would suggest is WebMasterWorld. There's lot of good information over there IMO.
Thnks, I'll check it out.

Another is....ok so I gave in and checked the original URL. You have an Ad that says a post on this Blog is $5. Umm...at least lie about price
Yes, you're right. I meant to change that but I forgot my password for the site. I figured it out just now and updated my price. You'll have to visit my site to see what it's at now. Cmon, you know curiosity won't let you NOT check it out.

You are absolutely right.

So I'm just going to focus the rest on SelfHelpWisdom because I really like that URL.
Thank you!

You have Feedburner. I forget the account levels but get the digg this, stumbleupon, del.icio.us buttons at the bottom of each post. Digg is your friend. Traffic is short lived but hey you want to build it up!
Yeah, I experimented with a few plugins for those but I forgot what I ended up getting stuck on. Hmmm...maybe that was on an old theme I was using. I definitely need to look into those.

Personal opinion, turn off the U comment, I follow. Readers don't care. If a blogger is going to pick it up they'll do it either way. It took me clicking on that link to figure out what it is.
Once again, I agree. Nuked it.

I'm working on a site monetized by Ads, so I completely understand having them. But underneath the title on the right hand side of 2 posts?

Your Affiliate ID on the one Blogroll link is viewable. And none of the rest seem to have anything to do with Personal Development. Though I didn't click.

As usual, take with a grain of salt.
