Using Images to Take Your Posts to a New Level
With millions of blog posts being added to the web each day - bloggers need to consider more than just the content that they are posting and think about how they can design their posts to grab attention.

Why I Don’t Use AdSense on ProBlogger Anymore
One question that I’ve been asked regularly since launching of the redesign of ProBlogger is ‘why don’t you use AdSense any more?’
AdSense has been used by bloggers almost religiously to monetize their blogs over the last few years. It’s for good reason too - many bloggers make a lot of money from AdSense - however it doesn’t work well on every blog and bloggers should consider their options and experiment with a variety of other income streams to see which works best for them.
