A website heatmap is a diagram showing where people look the most on a web page. For an publisher or advertiser it tells you the place your ads are likely to be most effective.

WordPress works just fine straight out of the box. It has an impressive range of features. There are also modules which provide additional functionality. These are called plugins.

The following list of best WordPress plugins are those I have used (and in most cases still use) or have been highly recommended by others.

Over the last year we have focussed on SEO to grow the traffic to this blog. We are just starting to see good results with traffic and revenues lifting (Although it hasn’t been reflected in Alexa raking).

Now its time to look at other methods of increasing traffic.

The most common advice is to build an email list. Having tried this in the past we have decided not to pursue because:

  • If your accused of spam, there is a risk your whole online business will be shut down

Seems the blog has gone through a number of refinements to the point where after six months when asked:


Are you making any money blogging?

Yes, quite a bit actually. I could definitely live off $500 a month until I turn 14, by which time I aim to be earning more, by experimenting in Internet Marketing.
