Pro Blog it | ProBlogging Venture, Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions

How to get indexed by Google? That was also my question, how to get Google to crawl and index Problogit.com. Actually, Google already have crawled and indexed the front page and other pages of this blog but not really the blog entries. I have seen a few of the blog entries that have been indexed by Google but not all.

I mentioned at the blog entry Prioritizing Maintaining Blogs and Sites that Google have not really indexed the blog entries of Pro Blog it and so I am redirecting my focus to my other blogs. I did not check Google before I wrote that blog entry if Google already indexed the blog entries only to find out today that Google have actually crawled and indexed the blog entries of Pro Blog it, ProBlogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions.

For the past few years I have been maintaing several blogs and websites for myself and other organizations. Blogging and web designing are just my hobbies. I never really thought of earning from those blogs and sites until I was given those opportunities. Then reading those stories about making money online problogging, I also decided to join the bandwagon this year. I launched ProBlogit.com as a ProBlogging Venture Tips and Ideas, Reviews and Opinions blog.

I made a decision and commitment to update this blog on a daily basis, and was able to share a few things of what I did, and will continue to share a few more things of what I am going to do along the way concerning problogging. As this problogging venture is an experiment which does not only involve this blog, I also started updating my other blogs which I have not been updating regularly to at least once a month. Then I also started updating the other blogs and sites at least once in two weeks. I was slowly making a habit to write content for my other blogs and sites until I went on vacation last month.

I have not neglected this blog. I was on vacation for three weeks, then took another week break and just read some books that I have already read before. I will not review the books that I have just read but I suggest that you read them too, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, The Greatest Success in the World and The Greatest Miracle in the World by Og Mandino, and The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. They are indeed great reads. I am about to read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Anyway, while on vacation and upon returning from vacation, I realized a few things about problogging.

Have you noticed that I have been writing about Google AdSense? Well, Google AdSense is a proven and tested advertising program where you can really make money online. Google AdSense is the first advertising program that I joined. But I have to warn you, it take times to earn money from Google AdSense if you are not writing often for your blog.

I will not say that it was a mistake on my part because I rarely wrote content for my blogs for the past few years. I just did not regret anything. I still write whenever I like to write and whatever I like to write. I just do not write for my readers only, I also write for myself. I just do not find it right when I will write content for my blogs for my readers only even if the readers will enjoy the articles. I really find it necessary that I have to enjoy writing for myself as well as for my readers. That way my readers and I will both enjoy and learn from what I wrote.

Problogging is not an easy task. I have been contemplating on it and I know that I really need a lot of commitment to survive. It is not really easy to be problogging everyday. I sometimes think why I give myself a hard time blogging everyday when I can also do it once a week or once a month just like I used to do.

I could actually compare this to golf not in terms of playing golf everyday but in terms of having a commitment to learn the game, and that is how I see problogging, having the commitment to learn the business.
