Linxboss Revisited – Review after Several Months of Use

Some time back I did a Linxboss Review (February! has it been that long…) Anyway, the link for linxboss is here and at the time I was looking for something that would help build inbound links with a “set it and forget it” kind of mentality. I’ve had a busy offline work stretch and just didn’t have the time I felt like I needed to devote to “promoting my sites…” So… the $127 a month seemed slightly steep, but if I could attain some of the rankings for the keywords I was looking for it might be worthwhile.

Not long after I posted here I had a post in the warriorforum as well trying to answer someones questions about linxboss….

Goals, Ambitions and Rewards – What are yours?

As I mentioned last post this has been quite a week. I’ve set a couple of personal online earnings records. The first just under $100 in one day, the second just a bit over. All within the span of a week. It’s had me thinking about my goals, goal setting the reward for reaching those goals and really what my ambition is. Let me be honest with you. I work all the time. I have offline commitments that many times keep me away from my sites. Truth be told I have probably around 50 sites. I’m interested in a good many things and really if I’m not careful I could easily wind up with a hundred different sites. I’m very easily a workaholic. I have been known to get up and start working and keep going until the wee hours of the morning. I usually am quite driven and when I start chewing on a task or problem just can’t let go of it until things are done.

Roller Coaster and Milestones

Last Sunday, my online earnings were ~$95 between Clickbank, Adsense and earnings over at lulu.com. That was a direct result of some positive actions I had taken in regard to a couple of my sites and was my single best online day yet. (A majority of my income is offline still.) I’ve been a bit down over the last few months because I have had so little time due to my offline commitments to develop my online sites/etc. The last week or two though I’ve been able to start digging in a bit more and building out some sites that have been on the drawing board for quite a while. Today, I’ve seen another record online earning day at ~$109 between clickbank, another referral service and adsense. Unfortunately Adsense is registering it’s lowest day for me in a LONG time at around $5. (My first $100+ day in affiliate/advertising revenue!) So, I’ve had two days near $100 within a week and yet I’m still probably going to be down about it in the next couple days…

Unyielding Persistence

Persistence. Stubborn determination. Unyielding constant pressure. This is what you need to do to succeed at anything. Oh, I know, sometimes you’ll luck out and something comes easy for you. For most things though you need dogged determination to improve and succeed. I’ve been away for a week at the beach and made a little bit of money over that time from my online efforts. Now, I didn’t spend time working from the beach, but I did chck in once a day to see how things were going. I probably didn’t make enough to quite break even on our trip, but it was really probably not too far off. The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that my online work is going to replace my offline work income. It’s just a matter of patience, persistence and determination. I spent a lot of time watching the ocean of course at the beach. Water is relentless and it always wins because of that relentless nature. It churns and eats away at the beach gradually, bite by bite, grain of sand by grain of sand. Many of our North Carolina Beaches do beach re nourishment projects to help fight the erosion. The ocean doesn’t give up though, it’s constantly working. Sometimes a storm comes along and there will be more erosion, but it doesn’t stop. That’s how you have to be with your online work….

Earn Money Online – Adsense Alternative Case Study

Long time no write…. other work has been very busy and I’ve had some health issues as well, bt that’s not what I’m here to type about today.

Earn Money Online Adsense alternatives. I like adsense, in fact by FAR the majority of my online income is coming from adsense these last couple of years. It’s not quite yet enough to replace my offline income, but when I’m able to spend time with it I do hope that my online income can surpass offline work and even make offline work optional.

Anyway, for a long time one of the items on my todo list has been to generate other streams of income that would help supplement adsense and “diversify” my earn money online portfolio. I have from time to time managed to make a referral sale from some of my leftover clickbank promotions that were my first wave of attempts to earn money online. But, the truth is for calendar year 2009 I made just under $80 from clickbank. If for some reason adsense were to go south for me I would lose out on a substantial amount of online income with no good fallback.

Linxboss Review

As I have probably mentioned before I have from time to time outsourced some of my online web work tasks. One of the tasks that many webmasters despise is that of linkbuilding. Search engines consider incoming links to be votes in favor of your site for the keywords that are used as anchor text and the more inbound links you have for a specific phrase or word, the better your rankings likely will be for that word or phrase. There are lots of ways to do this, good and bad. Many people will submit articles to either article directories, other websites or blogs as well as other web 2.0 sites such as hubpages, squidoo or the like. This can be a great way to build your link popularity, but it can take time.

Wordpress AutoBlogging Plugins

Autoblogging Plugins for any blogging platform are the kind of thing that can be controversial. I think we’re all aware of scraper sites that copy a paragraph or so of our contend from an rss feed and then have a link to our site. Sometimes they copy even more. I know when I first ran across these I was aggravated at best. But, in all fairness I did get a backlink out of it (albeit from a poor quality site – but it is a backlink anyway.) In sum, it didn’t irritate me quite as much on reflection, but I took it more as a sign that my site had reached a certain level of visibility. Of course, would I run a site that just scraped content from others? No. Then why would I consider an autoblogging plugin. Autoblogging is not just about scraper sites….

Happy New Year – What are Your Plans for Internet Marketing in 2010?

New Years bring many good things. Many people make resolutions to do certain things differently in 2010 than in the old year. In my journey in internet marketing if anything I’m resolving to keep doing more and more. The last year saw 622% growth in my revenue in online sources over 2008. 2008 saw a bit less growth over 2007 (340%). But still… during the “worst economy since the Great Depression”…. to see that kind of growth is fun, exciting and in many ways validates what I’ve been doing the last year or so. It only makes me wonder what I would be seeing if I were doing Internet Marketing full time instead of squeezing it in as a third job. So… .what’s the secret to making things work and earning money online with a blog?

Speed the next Web site Ranking Component?

I saw an interview with Matt Cutts reported on in the last few days that hinted that page loading speed may in the next year become one of the factors for how a website ranks in the search results. Now, to be honest I already suspected that there might be something used in the weighting already that related to page load speed. Why? Well, one of the things google has emphasized in its terms and conditions is the idea of sites that give a good user experience. Pop ups and deceptive redirects for instance are “bad experience” kind of things and affect sites negatively, while you would assume that a fast loading page would be a “good experience” kind of thing and perhaps benefit a site in the search results.

How to Make Money Blogging

So many people have these ideas in their head that they can make money blogging really just by sitting down and blabbing about their lives. Now, between you and me most peoples lives aren’t really going to draw much of a crowd, much less some real advertising dollars. But some seem to have this illusion that people will care where they go and who they see and really miss the whole point about the “make money online” part of the whole make money blogging equation. Think about it this way…. Product placements in movies work out financially because a lot of people are watching. It’s a mass market. Really there is very little targeting of content to the products advertised. The thing is for mass marketing you have to have MASS! In other words you have to have a huge audience. That’s why most people that know How to Make Money Online realize that the key is in targeting a niche. In other words they specialize and instead of talking about everything under the sun that they want to on one site they focus on a subject. Money Making Ideas might be a good subject to focus on for example and fill the site full of money making ideas giving lots of detail about how the ideas might be implemented and you will get lots of targeted ads if your using adsense and if not, then over time and you get to draw some good targeted traffic you may draw the attention of some advertisers directly. Another idea is a site about how to earn money online with adsense. Does it have to be in the money making niche? no….
