Recently, I took on a client who is looking for a new approach to selling a product whose sales have flattened. (Sound familiar?) Her product is a cookbook full of healthy recipes geared toward diabetics; her question was, how is a blog likely to help her generate sales?
Two sentences into my reply, I realized that this is killer material which applies broadly across all kinds of business models. Here’s what I told her:
There are a lot of other people out there selling books online, right? But only a fraction of them sell cookbooks, and an even smaller proportion sell cookbooks, and ultimately only one of them combines easy diabetic-friendly recipes, useful anecdotes, a pleasant writing style and a low price - you.

How blogging works
Blogging can be described as an online journal in which you share your thoughts about specific topics for others to read online. You can write posts as often as you want and any time of the day. Blog posts are displayed in reverse chronological order with the latest blog post displaying first.

We all know that Google hates paid links and link farms. This is because links are one of the prime ways that Google uses to list web pages for searches to the keywords on its search engine. Webmasters try to manipulate Google by paying other websites to link to their site so that they are able to rank well in the search engine.
PayPerPost is one of the most innovative ways that has come up as a way for websites to get links from blogs. Through PayPerPost, advertisers pay bloggers to review their website and also link to them with the appropriate anchor text. Now while this looks very simple to go undetected by Google, the bloggers leave considerable number of ‘fingerprints’ that makes it easy for Google to detect them and penalize them for getting paid to link sites.
