    How much to charge for a blog post?

    I don't know. I've made an offer based on the information above. I'll see how it goes.

    How much to charge for a blog post?

    Thanks for the insights. The agency told me who they represent, the article is for a house-hold name multi-national brand and they sit in a complementary sector to my own. When I said Google Ads I meant AdSense, I've never advertised my site at all, I've been very lucky in that all my growth...

    How much to charge for a blog post?

    Thanks for all the information guys. I was quite excited about this at first as I thought I was being noticed but now, its looks like this is probably more hassle than it's worth. I wouldn't want it to negatively affect anything I do at the moment as it's working well and growing on a monthly...

    How much to charge for a blog post?

    $20 for a permanent link on the homepage! That is cheeky. Does the rel="sponsored" and the no-follow put many of the agencies off?

    How much to charge for a blog post?

    Thank you for your response. I'm embarrassed to say I know nothing about this. I'm using automated Google Ads at the moment. Am I even allowed to support this type of sponsored blog? Yes I think the article is relevant to my site and does add value. What is the purpose of marking the page...

    How much to charge for a blog post?

    Hi, I've been developing my site for a few years now and I'm fortunate to have a couple thousand visitors per day. An ad agency has contacted me to host an article for them, but I haven't a clue how much to charge. They are not looking for the article to be promoted in any way, so I'm guessing...

    Google AdSense - How to customise AutoAds?

    Yep, I tried mobile and desktop. I've had auto ads running a while now (about 4-5 months) and the revenue is greater than when I was using manual ad units. On the most popular pages I'm using both manual & auto ads but that massive top banner is still displayed. The benefit with auto ads is...

    Google AdSense - How to customise AutoAds?

    Thanks, that's the article I mentioned about being able to see your placeholders and delete them. However on my site preview its not showing any ad placeholders (so I can delete them). I tried your suggestion, but it still displays the top banner ad as well.

    Google AdSense - How to customise AutoAds?

    Any know how to customise AutoAds other than excluding from a particular page. It's actually displaying a large banner ad at the top of every page. I read an article that you can customise this in the Ad Setting Preview, but it doesn't show any ad placeholders, in fact it shows "0 in-page ads"...

    Anyone earning £1m+ profit a year?

    I admire that at 17 you have the business focus you have demonstrated on here. That's a good start in itself as a lot of 17 year olds don't know what they want to do in life. I guess you are talking about something along the lines of Smite, WOW, Counter Strike, League of Legens, Dota or Destiny...

    Home based startup - trading address

    Thanks for the responses. I realise that any start-up is going to incur some costs. But I find it hard to justify up to £600 a year for nothing more than a postbox. Many years ago I started up another small company and approached it in a very "text book" way.. office, logo designer, accountant...

    Home based startup - trading address

    I've taught myself web development and I'm at the point of launching my first site. For SEO purposes (Google My Business and other company registrars) I need to provide an address. However I don't think my home address which is a "close" is very professional plus there is that uncertainty about...
