Beauty Blogging

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!

In my point of view – A beauty blogger knows the value of comments than any ‘other niche’ blogger does!! I admit that every blogger expects her/his post to pull reader comments, but beauty bloggers are always one step ahead!

We write posts, publish them, share them on social media and wait for the feedback! As we do a creative work, feedback is one of the most motivating things to continue our blogging journey without lags. Be it a swatch post or a skin care post or just a review on that newly launched product – we want our readers, fellow bloggers to read them and share their views on the comment section. This makes a beauty blogger happy, confident and motivated to write more posts with interest! A post with no comments doesn’t mean that the post is not-useful or not up-to-the-mark, but it just means the blogger is not socializing! IT is not really a bad thing however interacting with fellow bloggers and leaving your comments on other blogs makes you an influential blogger and tells the world you blog about what, how and where!

Today, I am sharing few do’s and don’ts of blog commenting. (Especially for beauty bloggers) These ideas not only apply to beauty bloggers, but every other blogger out there! However, as I only do beauty blogging (other than my food blog where I rarely hit the publish button) the tips will be much useful for new beauty bloggers out there!

I am starting with the Don’ts! : Few below are my very own experiences (call them, mistakes). I’ve however successfully rectified them over the years. (And still figuring out new better strategies on blog commenting)
