Blogging might be fun for a lot of people.
But aren't you surprised why are there so many bloggers nowadays who seem to be getting so much money? Professional blogging, or pro-blogging as they say, is the new trend nowadays.
It helps people gain popularity in search engines, blog listings and other places in the cyberspace.
By increasing their link popularity, their advertisement revenue also increases, giving them higher residual income.
But how does blogging exactly affect your link popularity and revenue? Here are 5 ways on how it straightly influences SEO and advertisement income.

1. By constantly blogging, you create 'keywords' which are then crawled by search engine spiders.
   These spiders depend on your words to target keywords that searchers type, giving you a higher position in the search engines and making your link more popular.
   
2. Link popularity means more people visiting your blog.
   You get more page impressions, and thus you get more residual income from advertising programs that you have enrolled.
   
3. Visitors to your blog, while not everybody, tend to click on some ads.
   You get more visitors, you get more clicks - that's more revenue for you.
   
4. If you continue on writing interesting stuff, people will keep on coming back - and hopefully, even grab your feeds or link to you.
   That's more traffic for you.
   
5. Constantly updating your blogs will let people know that you are serious in blogging AND building popularity on your links.
   It will interest visitors, and even advertisers.
   

By constantly keeping your blogs up to date, and submitting to blog directories, you get to build on your link popularity and even your own popularity as a blogger.
