The layout of your blog is very important when it comes to building a successful blog. You want to make sure that you have the right gadgets in the right places.
One of the biggest mistakes that people make is putting a bunch of unnecessary gadgets all over their blog. You need to have a strategy with everything you do on your blog if you want people to take you seriously.
These are the 6 most important gadgets to have on any blog. (Blogger users: First go to "Dashboard" "Layout" then "Page Elements". Now down below click on "Add A Gadget" where you want to add it)
1st- Google Search Box.- Place it up towards the top right or left side.
2nd- Subscription Links.- This will go directly above or below the Google Search Box, you choose.
3rd- Profile Gadget.- I would recommend placing this above the Search Box and Subscription Links.
4th- AdSense.- Below your profile is a great place to put Google AdSense. (I'll go into using Google AdSense a little more in tomorrows post)
5th- Followers.- Put this underneath your Google AdSense Ads. You want a way for people to easily keep in touch with your blog.
6th- Blog Archive.- You want your older post titles to catch peoples attention. Put this under the Followers gadget.
There are a few other gadgets that are okay to use, but I wouldn't get to carried away right now. Just use the ones listed above and I will talk about gadgets a little bit more in a few days.
