Making Effective Use of Categories

I think that one of the secrets to making money with blogs is to break your posts into useful and effective categories.

The categories help to direct appropriate AdSense ads to your site. Otherwise, all you’re going to get is ads about blogging—which don’t pay much—and usually aren’t on topic (unless you’re blogging about blogging—a worthless exercise).

If you take a look at this site, you will notice that there are a large number of categories, each one of which has a category description at the top of the page. The category description helps to direct the appropriate ads to the page.

The category division also helps people quickly find what they want. If visitors have to work their way backwards through hundreds of posts to find what they want, they’re going to very quickly get frustrated.
