Earn Money Online Blog

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….

Wordpress Themes Optimized for Adsense

I have used adsense on a lot of wordpress sites and usually I will go through and modify the theme for placement of ads and then sometimes use plugins to ad advertising blocks within the flow of posts and or pages. However there are a lot of well tested and thought and planned themes that are optimised to give a good conversion ratio for adsense clicks. Now, we are not talking about tricking users into clicking, which will not only get you banned, but is an unethical approach anyway. What we are talking about is themes that make certain that the ads are placed in a way that they will be noticed by your site visitors.

Keep Moving Forward

Not too long ago I saw the animated movie “Meet the Robinson’s” It was a neat movie on several levels. One of which was that the main character was an inventor. If you don’t want the movie spoiled and haven’t seen it, don’t read on because I’m about to really give away a bit of the movie here, but it makes sense to get to my point. So, I’ll hide things after the break in case your squeamish about spoilers for movies…

Understanding Traffic Estimates | Broad, Exact and Phrase matching

I have often made use of the Google adwords external keyword tool in my keyword research for quite some time. One of the things I like about it is that it can help you identify higher paying search phrases (although the number it cites is the cost YOU would incur if you were paying for a top SEARCH ad placement.) You might guess that 35% or so of the CPC is what a content publisher MIGHT receive (some a bit more, some a bit less.) But, it’s greater importance for me has been trying to find keywords and keyword phrases which are higher traffic phrases. However there’s one VERY important point that you need to know to be able to use this.
