Not long ago I used to own a blog called Money Under My Mattress. It was a very popular blog about earning money on the internet, basically a tutorial about the Paid To Click (PTC) world. When I started earning online many years ago, PTC was the only way I knew how to earn online. Although it was an informative blog which taught others how to earn, Blogger decided to ban my blog and called it a spam magnet. Not their fault at all, PTC does have a bad reputation in some circles and does draw a ton of spam.
Anyway I gave up blogging for awhile because my feelings were hurt and even got angry for a minute. After my tantrum died down, I decided to give blogging another shot. Afterall, I have so much knowledge to share with my fellow opportunity seekers or whatever name they are using these days. Now to decide on a title for my blog. I really wanted to keep the same name since it worked so well; everyone thought the title was so catchy. Well if you follow this blog or even the old one, then you already know I am quite a big fan of the forum called MYLOT. Besides PTC websites, Mylot is a big earner for me and the topic of many discussions and blog posts. So it was only natural for me to give my blog a title that at least mentioned the name Mylot.
Well I already have a Squidoo Lens which is a tutorial about Mylot and that lens is called The Secret of Mylot. This lens gets a TON of traffic and when you type the word Mylot in Google, my lens is listed second. Can you believe this? I could hardly believe this either. I worked very hard on this lens and it showed with my Google ranking and number of followers. Then the idea hit me; why not use the same name for my blog and capitalize on this success? Why reinvent the wheel right? Of course not! So my friends, if something is working for you, just build on it from there. Learn from me, brand names do work!
