When many bloggers start out in blogging, they do so with very little in the way of funds to promote and improve their blog. Thanks to some hard work, they can get their blogs up and running, with traffic slowly filtering in as well as a steady stream of income. The income may not be huge but it is a start, you then have two options, the first being to pocket the money and buy yourself something nice. This option is appealing to many as they blog with a view to earning money to make their life more comfortable.

The second option is to reinvest the income back into your blog to enable you to raise the earning potential of your blog in the future. This is the most sensible option as $100 this month could be $200 next month and $400 the month after that. Of course there is the option to combine both approaches you could say that you will take 50% of the blogs earnings and the other 50% can be reinvested.

Split Testing or A/B Testing is the process of testing 2 Ad units at the same time on a website or blog to see which one performs the best. It works by rotating the ads on around a 50/50 basis so that one visitor might see one Ad and the next visitor could see another. When run over a reasonable period of time you can judge which Ad unit performs best on your blog.

Everyone would like to know what their best performing Ad units are and this is how you can find out. When testing Ad units you want the test to run with all things being as close to equal as possible, that is why the Ads need to be used at the same time, if you did one test one week, then another the next there could be a big difference in traffic and content, which could affect earnings, so by keeping things as close to equal as possible your AdSense Split Testing will be more accurate.

On one of my latest posts ‘15 Ways To Increase Traffic To Your Blog‘ I introduced the idea of answering questions on Yahoo Answers as a way of increasing traffic to your blog. The post received some comments from people who had not tried using Yahoo Answers and others were not sure how it worked.

Some comments received can be seen below:
