Week 8 Reflections

Just another week of B250.  Yet, this week was something different.  This week we learned a lot more about Google Ad Words.  I know there is still so much more of this to learn and understand.  For now, I have a semi-good ad created, with many keywords and phrases to drive traffic to my site.  I am not too sure how well an ad to a blog will actually work, but I am hopeful that it will drive a few visitors at least. 
I am enjoying learning how the keywords work within the ad and pages of my site.  I had not thought about my readers clicking on my ad and what page they would be led to.  So I am glad that the load page was discussed this week.  I know have my ad leading visitors straight to my blog page.  I know that is much better than leading them to the main page where they then have to click to get to the recipe of the day/week/month. 
I also have realized that in order to guide more traffic to me, I should probably enter in a lot more recipes.  That is a lot longer of a process than I thought it would take.  I wish I had entered in my recipes onto a Word document years ago. 
I wonder if most blogs actually buy ads for their blogs?  I know that there are many bloggers out there in the world who have been able to make a living from this hobby.  It just sounds so out there, that I can't imagine it being possible.  This experience is starting to show me the ways that it can be possible with time and effort.
