Use FeedBurner to optimize your Blogger Blogspot blog and Google AdSense account.

"Tie your concept, Blogger Blog, and free Google AdSense account into Feedburners optimization engine."

This article assumes you have your blog on Blogger Blogspot and have set up a Google Adsense account allowing you an extra avenue to make money. If not, refer to the last post.

What we are doing here is optimizing and publicizing your blog, via FeedBurner, a premier method to get your blog into a simple format for people to subscribe to your posts (or blog) by nearly any method they prefer, with no added hassles for you. You will also be able to build potential profit into your subscriptions as AdSense can tie itself into FeedBurner for added revenue via the additional advertising space you will acquire on your feeds. So, here we go.

* One, go to the FeedBurner homepage as pictured above. Enter you blog web address into the field in the middle of the page.

The address you enter here will be something like

where the YourBlogName part is exclusive to the blog name you registered with your Blogger account (you can change the name, but we will get into that later).

Note: you can also use your TypePad, WordPress, MySpace or podcast/video feeds with FeedBurner, but for this scenario we are using Blogger.

Now follow the easy prompts, that follow, to finalize your FeedBurner subscription. 

* Two, after you finished the initial registration, and are logged into FeedBurner,  go to the first main page in FeedBurner, as pictured above, and click on your blog name (which is a hyper-link).

This will bring you to the tabbed page as pictured above. For now, click on the optimize tab in the top row.

Then, from the Optimize page, click the BrowserFriendly link in the left margin which will land you on the page pictured above. On this page, just check the box to make the landing page render in all browsers, and then click the checkboxes for the various subscription services as are shown checked above. You can safely ignore any other fields on this page, such as the "content options".

Next, back in the left column, click the SmartFeed link below the BrowserFriendly one you were on previously. On this Smart Feed page, pictured above, activate the service by clicking the box.

* Three, click on the Analyze tab on the top row, as pictured above, and familiarize with your Feed Stats Dashboard. This is where you can observe how many people view and subscribe to your new feed (or publicized blog). It may take days or even weeks until you see any real numbers here while the system kicks in and your blog spreads across the web.

That's it: One, Two, Three. Congratulations! People can now locate your blog and easily subscribe to keep abreast on your information.

Eventually, they will come. Many people write 5 or 6 different blogs until they get the one that works like they want.

Also, remember, for the purposes of these articles, you have a Blogger BlogSpot account to write your blog on, the free AdSense account for your first available advertising profit revenue, and a FeedBurner subscription to get your blog out to the people as a feed.

Read this quick article about what a feed is, by FeedBurner for further quick information on feeds.

Many are probably just reading these articles to refresh themselves on what they might already know, however, one of the most stressful things that can be done is to go into any of these accounts and just start clicking on the options. Many times it will just mess everything up and make it difficult to reconfigure correctly again. Everything will work as we have it now.

Blogging should be fun! - PD-US-NOT RENEWED

The next article will deal with adding the subscription button (chicklet) to your blog, and the article after that about getting the AdSense ads on your Blogger pages the easy way! Then we'll look at alternate revenue streams, methods to analyze blogs, writing and imaging tools, and so-forth.

We will update the ledger on the upper left showing the profits from this blog every day so you can see how the money evolves, and from what avenues.
