As many of you have noticed, I have only had two blog posts in the last 11 days, one of which was a guest post. I wanted to make a quick blog post to let everyone know why I have slowed down my blogging schedule.

1. I have been spending a ton of time learning affiliate marketing with NeverBlue Ads.
2. I am auditioning for the Top Affiliate Challenge (Detailed post coming soon, for now, vote me a 10!).
3. One of my new startup websites is nearing completion (I will write a detailed post letting all my readers get a first hand look before the site goes public).
4. The President of Datepad, David Nichol, has unexpectedly passed away.
5. I am nearing the final month until my high school graduation.
6. I have been going to and from the hospital because my dad had hip surgery this week.
7. I made it a personal choice to only make blog posts when I have something beneficial to my readers.

In conclusion, I have decided that I want to make my posting schedule a lot less sporadic. I am going to be making a lot less posts, and instead focus on quality of quantity. Every post that I write will be in more depth, and if it is one of my unique methods to building links, I will try to write a step by step guide for all the newbie link builders that read my blog.

I am going to be changing my blog’s title for the last time, and the new focus will be Website Marketing Strategies. The reason for this is because I only make around $300-500 profit a month with my blog, and I am by no means a professional at making money with blogs. Even though I know there are thousands of people who would love to be making $500/m with my blog, I do not believe I should be a blog mentor in any way. I am a professional at creative website marketing, and I want to keep my focus on that. If you have been following my blog for some time now, you should realize that marketing a website (or blog) ties hand in hand with making money on that site, so really nothing has changed other than the title and keyword I am going to SEO for.

Content wise, since I am cutting down from my daily posting schedule I use to have, I want 90% of all posts from now on to directly or indirectly help my readers build links for search engine traffic, build traffic from other viral methods, tips to monetize better, tips for better search engine optimization, posts about my new startup companies (one is coming in a little bit), or just general posts about my entrepreneurial journey to wealth.

Starting this week, I want my blog to be more of a hybrid between a blog and an email tips newletter, because I want to focus on teaching everyone how to properly market their websites using different strategies. I am positive that all of you readers would prefer a single blog post every week that provides a cool trick to build traffic, rather than a bunch of off-topic posts including what I ate for dinner. No offense to John Chow and his dinner parties, but in all honesty I don’t think my readers would give a damn about what I ate for dinner, so I am going to keep my posts in quality over quantity.

Paid Reviews Update
In the coming days, I am going to be raising my paid review prices by a long shot for a number of reasons. The main one is so that there will be fewer paid posts each month, giving more traffic to the ones that do purchase reviews. I will also be throwing in a ton of bonuses for new paid reviews, and I will write a post about them after my new startup company launches and when the paid review prices increases. I am also going to be limiting the amount of monthly paid reviewers to about 1 per week.

Guest Posters Update
My blog’s goal of helping everyone learn unique Website Marketing Strategies wouldn’t be very true if I didn’t allow an underground user promote himself through his writing. I still strongly believe in guest posts because they can bring you a lot of traffic in return for expressing yourself to others, and so I thought I would offer more to any guest posters who write posts for me to put on Mixed Market Arts.

Now, not only will you get a little mention at the TOP of the post giving yourself a link and a nice heap of traffic, but for every quality guest post that I publish on my blog I will pay you a $10 tip via Paypal as an added incentive. Now you can make money, traffic, and links just by contributing to my blog.

Have a link building tip that I have not discussed?
For anyone who emails me a unique link building article or website that I have not covered already on the link building cookbook, I will give a permanent backlink on the post I write about it linking to your site, as well as a one month sitewide link on every page of my blog. That is over 150 backlinks in return for sending a 5 minute email… quite a deal if you ask me. (PS: Nothing about directories or articles, I am looking for unique web2.0 sites that people generally wouldn’t think to build links off of. Check out some posts in the link building cookbook to get a feel for what I mean).
