How to earn money with GDI

2010-07-22T01:03:00.000-07:00

Now a days, many peoples are looking for way to how to earn money from internet or how to make money by building MLM business online. But today i am going to talk about how to make money with GDI. Many people interested to know how to generate money from GDI. I guess you are most likely is one of them, am I right? If not, you wouldn’t be interesting to read this post.

There are many ideas for money making and many such programs available online. You probably have seen it on internet every day, whether it is in the email you receive, or on the side bar Google advertisement of the webpage that you are viewing.

However, many of them are froud or scams, or just couldn’t make you REAL money as they have claimed in their resell/splash page. The whole operating / working system of the program is not transparent to user.

This kind of programs will make the so called Guru who teaches you to make money with GDI more and more rich. You may put in more money that you are earning, resulted in negative ROI, thus YOU ARE LOSING MONEY, the ONLY person who EARN MONEY in the end is the program owner.

Make Money With Google AdSense

2010-06-13T23:12:00.000-07:00

What is AdSense?

Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. All this is managed through a program they call AdWords.

Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise and they pay you a percentage of what they earn.

This program is called AdSense.

Every website owner should at least consider the program. Even if your site is just for information purposes, you can still participate and make decent money with AdSense -- or at least enough to fund your website.

Because Google is very smart.

If you understand how AdSense works, you will see that it's a win-win situation for everyone involved, and the bottom line benefits Google. Let me explain...

Since the advertiser's ads are now being displayed on more web sites all over the internet (instead of just Google's site), they are getting much more exposure. More exposure means more clicks and even more traffic for their site over a shorter period of time.

This is good news for Google because the more traffic the advertisers receive, the faster their advertising funds are used up.

Remember, they get charged every time their site gets a visit; and of course, it is Google's hope that they'll continue to keep funneling more money into their account for more ad exposure.

What an ingenious way for Google to increase the amount of money they earn from advertisers while building loyalty with website owners (like us) who are now getting paid to help them advertise.

How to get Fast Back Links

2010-06-13T22:43:00.000-07:00

Starting a blog is easy. Getting a little traffic is easy. And getting your friends and family to read your blog is also easy. But getting enough traffic to make a good income, an easy income, is a little harder.

If you have a blog that is beautifully designed and are also blessed with the talent of being able to write the most fantastic content imaginable then, slowly but surely, traffic will arrive at your blog. This will enable you to then make money, again slowly but surely, by simply placing advertisements on your blog.

But the amount of money you make will always be limited to the amount of traffic you have. This is indisputable. The more traffic you have, the more money you will make. And, therefore, if you have very little traffic, you will make very little money.
So, what can a new blogger do to get a huge amount of traffic for their blog?
It was when numerous text link advertisement companies contacted me recently that the solution formed in my mind. The text link brokers were willing to pay me large amounts of money in exchange for simple, and almost invisible, text links in my blog posts. The text link brokers were attracted to Upstart Blogger because it has such a huge amount of traffic, over 10,000 unique visitors a day and climbing, and, perhaps more importantly, a highly coveted Google Page of 7.

I was offered a recurring monthly payment of $400 for a simple text link in any single blog post. $400 a month for 1 link in 1 post.

If I took 20 links, placed them in 20 posts, I would instantly make an extra $8,000 every month At first this sounded like a great idea. However, Google doesn’t like text link brokers and have been known to punish those who engage in cash for links deals.

Many high profile bloggers have attempted to get around this issue by offering to review new blogs for cash. The new blogger pays a few, usually several hundred dollars, in return for a blog review on a high traffic blog. The high traffic blog then shines a light on the new blog, the new blog gets traffic and a page rank push from the established blog and everyone is happy.
Happy until the new blogger realises that hundreds of dollars spent on a blog review is only a good deal if the blog doing the review has enough traffic and a high enough page rank.
But this arrangement still raises issues with Google since it is, effectively, bribing an established blog into writing a review in order to grab traffic and game Google. And, rightly so, Google hates to be gamed.
There is, however, a solution.

When I decided to withdraw all of my digital products from sale I did so partly because I realised that selling information is waste of time for the simple reason that information is free. There is not an ebook in existence that isn’t available for free online somewhere else. No information online is worth paying for and if never will be. Anyone can learn anything at anytime for free.
It’s called Google. And it works pretty well.

The only thing online that has real value is traffic. Traffic isn’t free. Traffic is hard work. And when you’ve got it, you have something of real value.
Starting immediately a new weekly column will appear here at Upstart Blogger. Each week a number of blogs will be listed as suggested reading. These listings will be fully enabled links, carrying the full weight of my page rank, and will be seen by over 10,000 people.

Getting listed on that column will drive a substantial amount of traffic to your blog, giving it exposure to over 10,000 new readers whilst giving your Google Page Rank a very effective push in the right direction.

earn money from affiliate marketing

2010-06-12T07:54:00.001-07:00

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based.

Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.

Get 100,000 Visitors Monthly

2009-10-26T04:07:00.000-07:00

Start getting 100,000 high quality visitors monthly within your first 12 months, I think I should leave no stone unturned.

You must have heard that you should never use free hosting services/domain names if you intend to make money online. One of the reasons is that many of those places house sites of questionable characters.
If you use them, other users are seen as your roommates by the search engines. Now, if the majority of them have poor spammy pages, the search engines put a red flag on you, too.

After all, you'll feel uneasy if you discovered that five of a new employee's house mates are convicted felons. A bad neighborhood affects your site in the same way.

So, I know you're not using any of those free services? But does your web host ensure that you only have worthy neighbors? I discovered this: That search engines take note of disapproved practices and if a high number of such originate from an IP address, it just puts up a red flag on that IP address.

Don't host your site in a red light district. You'll get the wrong reputation. And online, your reputation often matters more than your character. So research your web host thoroughly before putting your hard work on the line.

I use a web host that takes great pains to ensure that only serious folks come on board. Yes, they even make it very difficult for you to do the wrong things. And if by chance you manage to beat all they have set up to prevent worthless sites, you will lose your subscription if you persist. This ensures that serious people are safe.
Because of this stance 35% of sites hosted by them were ranked in the top 1% of all sites (i.e., their Alexa Traffic Rank was in the Top 560,000, higher than 99% of all sites on the Web) as at the time of the test. Another 53% were in the top 2% while 62% scored in the top 3%.

1. PayPerPost

Are you familiar with this company?

PayPerPost.com is a marketplace that brings websites and blogs together and you can get paid to write comments about services, products and websites that you love.

There are people that earn $500 a month or more just writing on projects that are advertised at PayPerPost.com.

Advertisers are willing to pay you for your opinion on various topics and it is as simple as searching through a list of opportunities, making a blog posting, getting your content approved, and then getting paid for it.

2. Contact other blog owners

Another thing you can do is contact blog owners and offer to write content for them. There are plenty of bloggers who just do not have time to keep up with their blogs on a daily or even weekly basis and this is where you can help them out.

Offer to write blog posts of a few hundred words for them on a consistent basis, set up a quick pay page with your PayPal button on it that they can pay you and you are off and running.

With literally millions of blogs available, there is no shortage of potential customers for you.

3. Start a number of your own blogs and monetize them

Another way to make money blogging is to start various blogs of your own on themes that you have an interest in or expertise on. You can take what you know and turn it into a real moneyspinning business.

The way you make money on a blog of your own is to monetize it with various products that people can buy. You can join affiliate programs and put pay per click, pay per lead, and pay per sale products on your blog. Then anytime a person completes the desired response you earn a commission.

Certainly the easiest of all affiliate programs to earn money on is Google Adsense. It is very easy to add javascript to your blog once you are an affiliate for the Google Adsense program and it is completely free to join.

4. Sell advertising space on your blogs

There are many other blog owners and webmasters who would be willing to pay for a text ad or banner on your blog if it is popular and attracts quality traffic.

This is a very easy way to make money once your blog has established itself, because once you place the ad you can set the billing to go on a subscription basis, and every month you get a recurring income for keeping their ad on your blog.

Tips and Tricks to Improve your website traffic.

2009-09-07T00:31:00.000-07:00

1. Check it out what key words and phrases are going to be important to your site. Then run them through a tool such as WordTracker, the Google keyword tool or Yahoo Overture Keyword Selector Tool to see what the volume of search activity is and find alternative phrasing to add to your list.

Next, take each page that’s important to you — not the Contact Us page or Site Map — and make sure that keyword or phrase is used prominently. Use it early on in the text and at the end of the page. Put it into a heading with an H1 tag or a subhead with an H2 tag. But, she advises, “Don’t overuse it. Don’t change the way the content is reading, so it sounds ‘horsy.’ It’s better to have good content than have keyword phrases sprinkled in.”

Also make sure it appears in your metatags behind the page. Yes, metatags still have value — though not from a search engine ranking standpoint. “You have to think of a metatag as a kind of ad,” says Bishop. Search engines use that to show additional text as part of the organic listing. “If you’ve got a metatag that isn’t compelling and doesn’t have keywords in it, [people] won’t click through even if you do rank well.”

2. Make it your “career” to get links into your site. That includes getting links to more than just your home page and using your keywords as part of the anchor text. To get links, Bishop said, write articles and place them on other sites. Then make sure it includes a resource box or bio at the end of the article that includes your URL in the first line and something that will compel readers to go to your site in the second line, along with another link. (For example: Dian Schaffhauser writes for Web Worker Daily at http://www.webworkerdaily.com. Read her report on how to talk with your CEO about Web 2.0 here: http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/09/18/does-your-ceo-get-web-20/.)

3. Start a blog and participate in other blogs. These two go hand in hand. By “participate,” Bishop doesn’t mean leaving comments just to be able to include a link back to your own site. She means becoming part of the “ecosystem” of the community. “Over time the people whose blogs you’re commenting in will notice you and start making references back to you.”

The value of blogging on a reasonably consistent basis — aside from being able to share your expertise and opinions with the literate world — is that search engines will index your site more often. Bishop says small business sites, especially, can go for a long time without being indexed. Google does that by design. “They know that the site exists. It’s known as the Google Sandbox. But they want to make sure you’re not a pornographer or a bad actor, basically. You can get around that by having what are known as ‘authority links’ coming back to you.”

For example, if you’re writing about tennis, and you participate in the important blogs in the world of tennis, having those links coming back to your site would be regarded as authority links. “That’s a clue to Google to get you out of that sandbox,” says Bishop. “Links are the new gold standard in managing to get ranking on the search engines.”

4. Add something interactive to the site that will make people come back over and over. Bishop said one client, a high-end real estate finance organization, added a calculator where people can figure out how their taxes would benefit by doing something with the firm. “People come back repeatedly to use it.”

5. Don’t worry about how many people come to the site but with how long they stay. That means focusing on those areas that will encourage people to hang out longer. To measure this, Bishop recommends Google Analytics because, although it has problems, she said, “it’s free.”

6. Forget about email newsletters. Bishop said problems with spam filters and firewalls are making this web site staple a waste of time. “You’d be better off having a blog that you put newsletter-type content in and have people subscribe to it with an RSS feed.”

How much traffic do you get from Google?

2009-09-04T02:01:00.000-07:00

I was looking my statistic in Google Analytics and I have to say I was kind of disappointed. Novak’s blog receives about 100 visits from Google. I really think this is not enough.

I did a lot of SEO on my blog and Novak’s blog shows on many front pages of Google. Novak’s blog even topped Codemaster’s official website for Colin McRae Dirt with my review of the game. I removed text-link-ads because there is a lot of buzz around Google penalizing anyone who has text-link-ads on his website. I was expecting a little boost in my traffic, but nothing changed.

Not long ago I had over 200 hits from Google a day but I guess I’ve got penalized because traffic dropped rapidly to a 100. Since than I couldn’t increase it no matter what. As it seems Google penalized me because I started to use text-link-ads. I removed them two weeks ago and I’m still waiting for stats to rise. I mailed Google to report removing link ads but no luck so far. I’m almost 100% sure I’m not doing anything wrong that would penalize my blog at the moment. And I’m even more sure I will try not to mess something up again.

Today my Google stats dropped even more to about 60 visits a day. I just don’t understand.

What I would like to know is

how much Google traffic do you get on daily basis
can you give me some pointers about what I’m doing wrong

I would appreciate every response about this matter.

Get Free Traffic From Google & Yahoo

2009-09-04T01:59:00.000-07:00

Getting Free Traffic From Google & Yahoo

Google and Yahoo! are the most used search engines on the Internet with about 35% of all Internet searches run on one or the other. That's about 70% of all Internet traffic from just two search engines. Actually it's more than 80% when you consider Google's affiliation with AOL, Netscape, and others.

Recently there have been major changes on both these engines. Many sites with top placements have lost their positions while others have achieved top positions on both engines without doing anything.

You can take advantage of these changes and get more traffic from both free.

Recent Changes at Google & Yahoo!

Google recently changed their page ranking system for search results. These changes have far reaching ramifications for your website. The quality and ranking of the pages you link to and those that link to you now matter more than ever.

Previously, Yahoo! would display its own directory listings first, before displaying Google's web listings. Now Google and Yahoo's! results are displayed together on one results page, in a simpler display.

Submission to Google is free, while submission to Yahoo! costs $299.00 PER YEAR, just to be considered for inclusion. Yahoo! only includes websites it considers unique in content. About half the websites that pay for inclusion don't even get listed.

A Yahoo! listing used to have a great deal of value for unique websites but now every listing will be competing with the entire Google database. Now, if you have a page that ranks high in Google, you'll be getting the same listing in Yahoo!'s web results free.

Following are some pointers on exactly how you might take advantage of these changes.

A Simple Google Placement Strategy

Simply put, your Yahoo! ranking is now determined by your Google ranking. If your site is doing well in Yahoo!, It now must also do well in Google also. Your Yahoo! strategy IS now your Google strategy. This makes your website optimization easier and more productive.

The Internet's purpose is to make in-demand information available, and a search engine's job is to provide the highest quality, most relevant information in its search results. Pages with the highest quality content will always rank higher in Google.

So getting good ranking in Google has always involved getting as many high quality links to your site as possible. It's even more important now. It's also important to make sure that your outgoing links take your visitors to high quality pages.

The Google Search Toolbar

Google has released a search toolbar for Internet Explorer. This toolbar provides you an insider's method to determine and boost your ranking while helping Google (and Yahoo!) deliver more relevant results.

You can install it from the following URL
>> http://toolbar.google.com/

After you install the toolbar, click on the Google icon on the left and choose TOOLBAR OPTIONS. Make sure you have enabled the ADVANCED OPTIONS so you get a display of the actual page ranking of any pages you search.

Look for a headline that says "PAGE INFORMATION" and check to "INCLUDE VOTING BUTTONS" on your toolbar. You will see new smiley and frowning face icons on your toolbar. These are important, as you can send an instant ranking suggestion to Google for relevant keywords used in the search results generated by Google.

Near the bottom of that page you will see "EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES" click on the text link to customize these features. There is a feature here that disables exit popups in your browser.

Google Optimization & Submission Process

The first step is to optimize the quality of your page for Google. Check your rank in the toolbar, any pages you link to should rank as high as or higher than your own page. Your rankings will improve over time.

Don't bother requesting links from low quality link pages because just a few links from high ranking pages can have a much greater positive effect on your ranking in Google than 1,000's of poor quality links.

Include a menu of links to your other important pages within your own website on each page. This will help build your link popularity ranking within your own website.

Work on obtaining links from high-value sites that are related to the theme of your site. When Google finds these links, your rankings will improve.

Include links to other relevant high quality, high ranking sites where your visitors can find quality related information and suggest that they link to you in return. Explain how your ranking can boost their page rank even higher. Soon you'll see how a few high ranking links can make all the difference in the ranking of your pages.

Last submit your page to Google
>> http://www.google.com/addurl.html

Google will schedule your page for spidering and the Google-bot will examine and index your page, as well as the links to and from your page. Submit each page separately as you optimize them. Google's robots will find all your pages eventually, and some experts feel it's even better for your ranking if they are found than if submitted.

Developing Your Yahoo! Strategy

Yahoo! will only display one result from one domain in its directory results for any keyword. If you have not paid to have a SPECIFIC page included in Yahoo!, the page will not be shown in the Yahoo! directory. For websites in highly competitive niches a Yahoo! evaluation may not be productive enough to justify the cost.

Yahoo! doesn't search its own index for keywords anymore. There is no longer any need to pay for a listing in Yahoo! IF you already rank well in Google.

So why would you even consider purchasing a Yahoo! evaluation?

A Yahoo! listing can help boost your Google ranking. If you don't already have a good ranking in Google, and you have a quality and unique commercial website, a listing at Yahoo! could make a huge difference. If you don't have a page rank before you get into Yahoo! you will get one soon because Google will know you are listed in Yahoo!.

A Yahoo! listing, will not only bring you more traffic from Google, it will bring you traffic from the Yahoo! directory listings as well. In addition, since Google often displays multiple listings for one domain. A Yahoo! listing may actually help generate multiple pages from your domain in Google's results.

A neglected backdoor to getting a free Yahoo! listing is to create a content based non-commercial website on a separate domain which Yahoo! will consider for inclusion free. It's cheaper to obtain an additional domain than to pay for a commercial listing in Yahoo!.

Use your non-commercial website to help drive traffic to your commercial website where you actually sell your product or service. Some experts feel it's better to wait until you actually get listed in Yahoo! before you add a link to your commercial website.

If you can afford it, a Yahoo! listing pays off in the long run for most businesses. Just make sure you understand that the $299 listing fee does NOT guarantee that your site will be included.

Getting Listed in Yahoo!

Actually obtaining a listing in Yahoo! is not easy or automatic.

Before you decide to purchase a Yahoo! evaluation I would suggest purchasing the ebook. "Getting listed in Yahoo!" is all about delivering to Yahoo! what they are looking for. The $17 cost is well worth it when you consider the $299 Yahoo! submission fee.

In Summary

Getting high quality free-targeted traffic from Google and Yahoo! can be a daunting task, but for many of us it's the only affordable method to get traffic. That's why there are SO many books written about search engine optimization. If it was easy, anyone could do it. The top listings go to the top optimizers and to the highest quality websites, which is as it should be.

Success in the search engines is about providing unique and compelling content related to your product, service, or solution in order to earn your visitor's confidence and credibility, BEFORE you ask for the sale.

Get traffic for your website - Get more traffic from Google

2009-09-04T01:56:00.000-07:00

Google deserves your attention as a traffic source because they control the search engine market. SEO analysts claim this figure is as low as 60% while I calculate it to be somewhere near 95% for my demographic. It's the single biggest source of traffic for Seopher.com and therefore I recommend you spend the time to accomodate Google as much as possible.

Google delivered 30,000 more visitors than ANY other source last year
Google is my biggest bringer of traffic over the past 12 months, delivering a reported 107,228 visitors to the site and constituting 25.85% of my traffic. Where possible you should do everything you can to help Google recognise your content; fortunately there's plenty you can do to ensure good standing with Google.

#1 - Submit a sitemap
If you submit a sitemap using Google Webmaster Tools then that informs them of what pages you have on the website. This is good because Google relies on the Googlebot to spider your pages and return all ones it finds - sometimes it can find it difficult to find all your content. If you submit a sitemap to them (or link them to one that updates dynamically - there are Wordpress plugins for this) then the Googlebot will know what pages it's looking for and index them more efficiently.

#2 - Have a sitemap page on your website
It doesn't have to be called sitemap - but having a page on your site that lists every piece of content you have with a link will help the spiders find your pages naturally. The last thing you want is for Google to ignore any of your posts.

#3 - Mark up your content/website properly
This is the very first step in SEO'ing your website for search engines (not just Google). You need to ensure you have the title of the content in the "title" tag of the page, with the appropriate use of XHTML markup to back this up. Rather than get into the specifics of it, read my series of articles on how to SEO your website. If you mark up your content properly then your content should appear more relevant in search results - thus resulting in more visitors.

#4 - Understand what keywords to target
To improve your traffic from Google it's best to think about what keywords you want people to find you using. This may seem obvious but remember that the most popular keywords are also very competitive and you're unlikely to score highly for them. Instead think about synonyms that are less popular but that you could viably rank higher for - this will offer the best long term gains. In my personal experience the most obscure titles perform the best in the long run. For a more detailed understanding read my post about understanding keyword density and how to research your keyphrases.

#5 - Don't upset them!
This is more true today than it ever was before. If you upset Google through questionable practices (gaming the system) then they can (and will) remove you from their index. This would remove all instances of your website from the search results - this would be bad. If I lost Google as a traffic source then my daily visits would be down 40-50% and that's unacceptable. So avoid questionable practices when dealing with Google because they have the power make your blogging journey SO much more difficult.

#6 - Deeplink
You shouldn't need to do this because Google does index sites quite thoroughly but if you're running on a brand new domain it can't hurt to submit a URL to Google manually. Although it's worth remembering that new domains tend to get placed in the Google sandbox and will need to "serve their time" before being released upon the world.

#7 - Update on a regular basis
Google (like the other search engines) favour content that is new (therefore deemed more relevant) so if you update the website infrequently then you can expect to see fluxuations in your Google traffic. Writing new content on a regular basis ensures that they index your website on a regular basis (Seopher.com has new posts indexed within hours of posting). This means that my content is receiving search results the same day it is posted, rather than waiting weeks.

#8 - Interact with other websites, leaving links back to your own
This may sound slightly odd but a good tactic for getting Google to look at your domain is to get links on other sites (especially within the niche). So if you interact with other bloggers (leaving comments, guest posting etc) then when their domain is spidered it can follow the link back to your site (unless they use rel="nofollow"). Darren Rowse from Problogger said this was the most logical answer to how you get your site indexed on Google.

#9 - Accessibility
Because I'm a web developer I weigh accessibility quite high; SEO is just a bi-product a lot of the time. If you ensure that your website isn't relient on specific technologies (such as Javascript, Flash etc) to find your way from page to page then it means that non-visual browsers can find your content easier. This is good for two reasons: 1) it means visually impaired users can still make use of your information and 2) spiders can also find your information. Spiders aren't visual browsers. If your website needs specific technologies for navigation purposes - make sure it degrades so that other browsers (and the Googlebot) can still get around.

When You Work from Home

2009-09-03T21:55:00.000-07:00

Dealing with clients

There are two things I would say are more important than anything I’ve mentioned up to this point.

Be transparent: Be upfront and honest with your clients about how, where, and when you work.
Be discriminating: Be choosy about your clients. Select only those you think will be able to work with your schedule and environment.

On transparency

This is an area for caution. You don’t want to spill your guts to a potential client in your first meeting, telling them all about your family and how one time Susie spilled her juice on your keyboard and you were backed up for two days. Still, you don’t want them to assume you work a normal 9-5 schedule in a brick office downtown, free to design in quiet until the sun goes down.

External communication channels

For some, Twitter is a huge distraction: it’s like having a chat window open all day. Others have a problem with new e-mail popping in all day long. If you’re trying to get some serious work done and you’re not the type who can tune out a conversation going on near you, it’s probably a good idea to turn off the Twitter or chat client, and even close e-mail if you’re inclined to read and answer each one as it comes in.

Family responsibilities

Maybe this is different for women than for men. I’m generalizing, but some mothers tend to have a stronger “home” instinct that makes it more difficult to detach work from family duties. We see a pile of laundry and feel the need to stop everything else to get “just the one load” in the washer, and before we know it, we’re running a laundromat. Likewise, we hear a child cry and stop everything to make it better (even when Dad or a sitter is there to take care of it). It’s not easy to stay put and keep working when our instincts are so powerful.

Recognizing and curbing distractions

The most common complaints about working from home are family-created distractions and self distractions. The distractions I experience now, though, are so different from the “cube” distractions I dealt with in my corporate jobs, that sometimes they seem worse. Where in an office I had to contend with “gossip girls” and candy dippers (don’t ever put a bowl of candy on your desk), at home I have crying babies and “Mom, when you’re done, can I play on the computer?” The difficulty lies in finding a way to recognize what’s getting in the way and nip it before it stops production.

21 ideas to make money from a website

2009-09-02T07:17:00.000-07:00

There are several lists with “ways to make money with a website” on the Internet, but none of them seem to be complete. That is why I decided to create this one. If you know a method that is not listed below, just let us know and we’ll update it.

Notice that ways to make money with a website are different from ways to make more money from it. Methods to increase your traffic or click-through rate will help you make more money, but they do not represent a method of making money per se.

For example, one could suggest that blending AdSense ads with the content is a way to make money from a website. In reality it’s not; it’s just a way to make more money by improving your ad click-through rate. The real monetization method behind it is a PPC ad network.

The list is divided into direct and indirect methods, and examples and links are provided for each point. Enjoy!

Direct Methods

1. PPC Advertising Networks

Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but there are also others. Basically you need to sign up with the network and paste some code snippets on your website. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click.

The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the nice of the website. Mortgages, financial products and college education are examples of profitable niches (clicks worth a couple of dollars are not rare), while tech-related topics tend to receive a smaller CPC (sometimes as low as a couple of cents per click).

The source of the traffic can also affect the overall CTR rate. Organic traffic (the one that comes from search engines) tends to perform well because these visitors were already looking for something, and they tend to click on ads more often. Social media traffic, on the other hand, presents terribly low CTRs because these visitors are tech-savvy and they just ignore ads.

List of popular CPC advertising networks:

2. CPM Advertising Networks

CPM advertising networks behave pretty much as PPC networks, except that you get paid according to the number of impressions (i.e., page views) that the ads displayed on your site will generate. CPM stands for Cost per Mille, and it refers to the cost for 1,000 impressions.

A blog that generates 100,000 page views monthly displaying an advertising banner with a $1 CPM, therefore, will earn $100 monthly.

CPM rates vary with the network, the position of the ad and the format. The better the network, the higher the CPM rate (because they have access to more advertisers). The closer you put the ad to the top of the page, the higher the CPM. The bigger the format (in terms of pixels), the higher the CPM.

You can get as low as $0,10 and as high as $10 per 1,000 impressions (more in some special cases). CPM advertising tends to work well on websites with a high page views per visitor ratio (e.g., online forums, magazines and so on).

List of popular CPM advertising networks:

3. Direct Banner Advertising

Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.

The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.

4. Text Link Ads

After Google declared that sites selling text links without the nofollow tag would be penalized, this monetization method became less popular.

Many website owners are still using text links to monetize their sites, though, some using the nofollow tag and some not.

The advantage of this method is that it is not intrusive. One can sell text links directly through his website or use specialized networks like Text-Link-Ads and Text-Link-Brokers to automate the process.

5. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.

6. Monetization Widgets

The latest trend on the web are widgets that let you monetize your website. Examples include Widgetbucks and SmartLinks. Some of these services operate under a PPC scheme, others behave like text link ads, others yet leverage affiliate links.

Their main differentiator, however, is the fact that they work as web widgets, making it easier for the user to plug and play the service on its website.

7. Sponsored Reviews

PayPerPost pioneered this model, with much controversy on the beginning (related to the fact that they did not require disclosure on paid posts). Soon other companies followed, most notably Sponsored Reviews and ReviewMe, refining the process and expanding the paid blogging model.

Joining one of these sponsored reviews marketplaces will give you the opportunity to write sponsored posts on a wide range of topics. Not all bloggers are willing to get paid to write about a specific product or website (because it might compromise the editorial credibility), but the ones who do are making good money out of it.

If your blog has a big audience you could also offer sponsored reviews directly, cutting off the commissions of the middleman.

8. RSS Feed Ads

With the quick adoption of the RSS technology by millions of Internet users, website owners are starting to find ways to monetize this new content distribution channel.

Feedburber already has its own publisher network, and you can sign-up to start displaying CPM based advertising on your feed footer. Bidvertiser recently introduced a RSS feed ad option as well, with a PPC scheme.

9. Sponsors for Single Columns or Events

If you website has specific columns or events (e.g., a weekly podcast, an interview series, a monthly survey, a special project) you could find companies to sponsor them individually.

This method increases the monetization options for website owner, while giving advertisers the possibility to target a more specific audience and with a reduced commitment.

Mashable illustrates the case well. They have several advertising options on the site, including the possibility to sponsor specific columns and articles, including the “Daily Poll” and the “Web 2.0 Invites.”

Problogger also runs group writing projects occasionally, and before proceeding he publicly announce the project asking for sponsors.

10.Premium Content

Some websites and blogs give away part of their content for free, and charge for access to the premium content and exclusive tools.

SEOMoz is a good example. They have a very popular blog that gives advice and information on wide range of SEO related topics. On top of that visitors can decide to become premium members. It costs $48 monthly and it grants them access to guides, tools and other exclusive material.

11. Private Forums

While the Internet is populated with free forums, there is also the possibility to create a private one where members need to pay a single or recurring fee to join.

SEO Blackhat charges $100 monthly from its members, and they have thousands of them. Obviously in order to charge such a price for a forum membership you need to provide real value for the members (e.g., secret techniques, tools, and so on).

Performancing also launched a private forum recently, focused on the networking aspect. It is called The Hive, and the monthly cost is $10.

These are just two examples. There are many possibilities to create a private and profitable forum, you just need to find an appealing angle that will make it worth for the members.

12. Job Boards

All the popular blogs are trying to leverage job boards to make some extra income. Guy Kawasaki, ReadWriteWeb, Problogger… you name it.

Needless to say that in order to create an active and profitable job board you need first to have a blog focused on a specific niche, and a decent amount traffic.

The advantage of this method is that it is passive. Once you have the structure in place, the job listings will come naturally, and you can charge anywhere from $10 up to $100 for each.

13. Marketplaces

Sitepoint is the online marketplace by excellence. Some websites and blogs, however, are trying to replicate that model on a smaller scale.

Depending on your niche, a market place that allows your visitors to buy, sell and trade products could work well. Over the time you could start charging a small fee for new product listings.

The problem with this method is that there are no standard software on the web, so you would need to hire a coder to get a marketplace integrated into your website.

14. Paid Surveys and Polls

There are services that will pay you money to run a small survey or poll on your website. The most popular one is called Vizu Answers.

Basically you need to sign up with them, and select the kind of polls that you want to run your site. Most of these services operate under a CPM model.

15. Selling or Renting Internal Pages

Million Dollar Wiki made this concept popular, but it was being used on the web for a long time around (check Pagerank10.co.uk for instance).

These websites sell for a single fee or rent for a recurring fee internal pages on their domain. Usually they have either high Pagerak or high traffic, so that people purchasing a page will be able to benefit in some way.

Implementing this method on a small blog would be difficult, but the concept is interesting and could be explored further.

16. Highlighted Posts from Sponsors

Techmeme probably pioneered this idea, but somehow it has not spread to other websites. The tech news aggregator displays editorial posts on the left column, and on the sidebar they have a section titled “Techmeme Sponsor Posts.”

On that section posts from the blog of the advertisers get highlighted, sending qualified traffic their way. Considering that the monthly cost for one spot is $5000 and that they have around 6 sponsors at any given time, it must be working well.

17. Donations

Placing a “Donate” link or button on a website can be an efficient way to earn money, especially if your blog is on a niche where readers learn and gain value from your content.

Personal development and productivity blogs, for instance, tend to perform well with donation based systems

18. In-text Adverting

In-text adverting networks like Kontera and Vibrant Media will place sponsored links inside your text. These links come with a double underline to differentiate them from normal links, and once the user rolls the mouse over the link the advertising will pop. Should the user click on it the site owner will make some money.

Some people make good money with this method, but others refrain from using it due to its intrusiveness. It is also interesting to note that very few mainstream websites have experimented with in-text advertising.

19. Pop-ups and Pop-unders

Pop-ups are a common yet annoying form of advertising on the Internet. If you are just trying to make a much money as possible from your website, you could experiment with them.

If you are trying to grow the traffic and generate loyal visitors, however, you probably should stay away from them. Just consider the hundreds of pop-up blockers out there: there is a reason why they are so popular.

20. Audio Ads

Also called PPP (Pay Per Play), this advertising method was introduce by Net Audio Ads. the concept is pretty simple: play a small audio advertising (usually 5 seconds) every time a visitor enters into your website. The user should not be able to stop it, creating a 100% conversion rate based on unique visitors.

The company is still rolling tests, but some users are reporting to get from a $4 to a $6 CPM. Regardless of the pay rate, though, this is a very intrusive form of advertising, so think twice before using it.

21. Selling the Website

Selling your website could be your last resource, but it has the potential to generate a big sum of money in a short period of time.

Market places on online forums like DigitalPoint and Sitepoint are always active with website buyers and sellers. Keep in mind that they most used parameter to determine the value of a website is the monthly revenue that it generates, multiplied by a certain number (the multiplier can be anything from 5 to 30, depending on the expectations of the seller, on the quality of the site, on the niche and other factors).

Some people also make money trading and flipping websites. They either create them from scratch or buy existing ones, and after some revamping they sell them for a profit.

How Bloggers Make Money from Blogs

2009-09-02T05:23:00.000-07:00

I’ve been reflecting this week about the amazing diversity of opportunities that are opening up for bloggers to make money from blogging.

I’ve long advised that bloggers seeking to make money from blogging spread their interests across multiple revenue streams so as not to put all their eggs in one basket.

The wonderful thing is that this is becoming easier and easier to do 2005 has seen many options opening up. I thought I’d take a look at some of the methods that bloggers are currently using to make money through blogs.

Advertising Programs - Perhaps the most obvious changes in the past few months have been with the addition of a variety of viable advertising options for bloggers looking to make money from their blogs.

RSS Advertising - The past 12 months have seen some advances in RSS Advertising also. I’m yet to hear of any bloggers making big money blogging through it to this point - but as improvements are made to the ad programs exploring this I’m sure we’ll start to see examples of it being profitable.

Sponsorship - In addition to the array of advertising programs that are available to join there is a growing awareness in the business of the value and opportunity that exists for them to advertise directly on blogs.

Digital Assets - Increasing numbers of bloggers have been developing other digital assets to support and add revenue streams to their blogs.
