Make money online by selling link

I’ve recently impressed with the potential with making money from a selling text link ads. Here are screenshots of my revenue by selling link:

• Linkworth

• Text-link-ads

• Linkadage

I’m getting about $84 per month from selling links. Isn’t that cool. My best earning is from Linkworth. I’m selling 5 links, each worth more than $10. So I really recommend it to you. Payments from Linkworth are made on the 10th day of each month, or the closest business day if the 10th falls on a holiday or weekend.

There are two type of account: Basic Partner Account, and Preferred Partner Account. With Basic Partner Account you will earns 70% of all sales transactions. While with Preferred Partner Account you will earns 50% of all transactions.

Methods of payments are Business Checks, Direct Deposit, Bank to Bank Wire or Paypal. The minimum payout for Paypal is $25.

Tips for selling links

• Higher PageRank will attract more buyer. So get a high PageRank web. You can buy website that have high PageRank.
• Start your pricing right. Don’t set it too high. Nobody wants to buy high priced link.
• Put a clear description for your link. Tell the buyer why should they buying links from you.
• Try only to put links only at your homepage, not your whole page. I believe this can help maintain your PageRank.

How to make money with twitter

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service. It is called micro-blogging because your post / messages / tweets is limited to 140 characters. Tweets are displayed on the author’s profile page and sent to the author’s followers. Twitter is popular these days. It is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by Alexa. What does this means? You can get a lot of traffic using twitter. Imagine if you have 1000 followers. If you made a post and tweets it to your followers, you might get a maximum of 1000 traffic from it.

Because of their huge traffic no wonder they monetize it. Here are some methods that you can use twitter to make money:

• Tweet your articles which you promote affiliate link
• Rent your twitter account to Beamaggie. The idea is simple, you rent your twitter account and they will pay you for tweets they send out in your name. Their system will tell you the monthly earning estimation. This is based on how much follower you have and how many magpie-tweets you will do. With only 100 followers, they say I could collect $5.21 per month. Not bad. Better than what I earn from adbrite. But you must reach $ 50.00 to cash out, that is ten months. I must add more follower and tweet more often then.

To make money with twitter, here are some tips:

• Fill out your twitter profile. Leaving it blank won’t encourage people to follow you. If they are interested with who you are in your profile they will follow you.
• Visit http://wefollow.com/ and find followers there. Search people by entering tag. You will then find people who have the same passion as you are.
• Add more tweets. You can use wordpress plugin, so you will automatically create tweet when you create post on your blog.
• Unfollow who is not following you using this service. I think this is a good idea, because people would like to follow people that have more follower than he is following.
• Put your twitter link in your blog, and email signature
• Follow me and I’ll follow you.

How to spy keyword

Use http://www.spyfu.com to spy blogs for their keywords.

Write an effective article

If your keyword is "buy penny stock", then you need to have the keyword in your title, and appears three times in your article. I should also appear in the first paragraph. Have the keyword bold. Your title must also attract people to read it. So for "buy penny stock", you can write "how to buy penny stock that double your money"

Unable to monetize keyword

There are three excelent keyword that drives lots of traffic:

• Book
• Music
• Song

But I couldn't monetize it. How should I monetize it?

My SEO rule

For the keyword "buy penny stock":

• Have "buy penny stock" in url
• Have "buy penny stock" in title
• Have "buy penny stock" in H1
• Have "buy penny stock" in meta description and meta tag
• Several "buy penny stock" word in article
  

Property keyword

The traffic I got from property keyword 35% from autralian and UK. I think I will remove those two, in consideration that those two country are well educated.

Result: Still poor result. Driving property traffic to forex page is poor.

Clickbank Landing page

• Create your own landing page and include this code:
  
• A normal Clickbank link will look like http://affiliateid.merchantid.hop.clickbank.net/. The payment link template is. http://ITEM.AFFILIATE_PUBLISHER.pay.clickbank.net/

To bypass the sales page and go directly to buy page change your link into:

http://1.affiliateid_merchantid.pay.clickbank.net

Use underscore betweern your affiliate id and merchant id.

• Check for the best offer for the product. Try http://1.affiliateid_merchantid.pay.clickbank.net and http://2.affiliateid_merchantid.pay.clickbank.net. Choose product that have the lower price
  

Book keywords result

The "book" keyword result is not good. I got most of my traffic from UK. I guess UK does not like adsense. I'll try removing UK from the PPC target.

Result: Driving "book" keyword to "make money" page is not good.

Using book keyword

I'm trying to use "book" keyword and drive the traffic to "make money online" page. Let's see what will happen.

Testing 7search

I hope this will be a regular post. I use 7search for my PPC campaign. Current progress:

• Game keyword to game page (profit)
• Art keyword to forex page (profit)
• Book keyword to game page (loss)
• Property keyword to forex page (loss)

But overall I have profit. So I need to make the book and property profitable. I still have several keywords that I need to make it profitable:

• Book
• Property
• Phone
• Voip
• Recipe
  

Google Shares 6 Ways to Maximize Your AdWords Investment

Google says AdWords' real-time targeting and reporting are ideal for finding an efficient way to reach customers in the economic downturn. The company has detailed six tactics detailed six tactics for maximizing your AdWords investment.

1. Focus your ads on low prices and savings.

Consumers care about prices more than ever, especially on day-to-day purchases. When someone searches on a particular product, you know they're interested; by using your ad to tell them that you've got the highest quality and the best price, you're more likely to earn their click. Update your ad text to focus on low prices, good values, and timely promotions.Use words like sales, 10% off, discount.

2. Use value-related keywords.

It's open season for bargain hunters. To reach these deal-conscious consumers, add appropriate price- and discount-related keywords. Try the AdWords Search-based Keyword Tool and Search Query Performance report to find and higher-performing keywords that people are actually searching on.

To attract more customers, value-related keywords have been added to the keyword list on the right.

• Learn about selecting keywords
• Check out the Search-based Keyword Tool
• Read a blog post about Search Query Performance reports
• Learn about the Keyword Tool

3. Make sure your ad groups are targeted and relevant.

Ads perform best when their ad text reflects the ad group's keywords; this makes ads more relevant to their intended audience. Make sure that both the text and the keywords in each ad group focus on a specific topic or product. For instance, an ad group about "tennis sneakers" will generally perform better than a broader ad group about "sneakers."

4. Don't waste money on irrelevant clicks.

The wrong keywords can attract people who are looking for products you don't offer. Use negative keywords to filter out traffic that's not related to your offering. The Search Query Performance report can help you identify potential negative keywords by showing which queries have triggered your ads.

5. Make it easy for customers to buy.

Since people are spending more time comparing products and services online, make it easier for them to find what they're looking for and buy from your site. Use the best Destination URL to send visitors directly to the page about the product or service promoted in your ad.

To be most effective, the Destination URL for this ad sends visitors to the page where Model XYZ123 camera can be found for $279.

6. Focus your money on your high-performers.

To get the most out of your campaigns, focus your time and resources on the keywords, ads, and ad groups that are driving the most value for your spend. To determine what's performing best for you, consider Google's free Conversion Tracking tool.

The overall budget of $100 was split evenly between the two campaigns. Google’s conversion tracking tool showed that the Used Books campaign was converting at a higher rate, so budget was shifted towards that campaign, increasing the overall conversion rate in the account.

Article idea for your blog

• Go to google adwords, and do keyword research. If my blog about "penny stock", then I will get several keywords on "penny stock". The result of Google Adwords keyword tool are:

1. hot penny stocks
2. best penny stocks
3. penny stocks list
4. penny stock broker
5. penny stock newsletter

Then I will create articles about "hot penny stocks", "best penny stocks", etc. Don't forget to have your keywords on your page url.

Niche Internet marketing

• Find product at clickbank. Find high gravity product. This number basically tells you how many affiliates have sold at least one unit. The higher the number, you can assume that the product is selling well and that the sales page is proving to convert.
• Keyword research -> Go to ezineArticles.com and type random keyword on your niche. Then open the article and find out his keyword by looking at the article meta keywords. Then research that keyword into your keyword software. Find out the demand and supply for the keyword.
• Research your competitor. Check how many links are pointing to it.
• Go to Yahoo Answer to find content idea for your website
• Put your content at squidoo, blogger, wordpress, and hub pages. Link them to your non free hosting site. Go to pingomatic.com so that search engines know that they are ready to be visited.
• Do blog commenting and submit article to ezinearticles to build backlink to your site.
  

How to increase your traffic using PPC

Break your keywords into groups of similar keywords. For example, one group could be based on “Penny stock” and include words like;

• penny stock strategy
  
• penny stock software
  
• penny stock books

For each keyword group create a landing page that focuses on that group. So if you are targeting "penny stock books" create a new landing page that is different from penny stocks software

Experiment with different layouts, and ad copy.

Use Google Analytics to help you analyze the PPC traffic. See how each layout perform compared to one another.

My internet marketing strategy

I'm posting here so that I can read it again and again and again about my goals. The strategy is to make informational blogs on a specific niche and optimize it for SEO. After the blog is mature, then I will create another one. Here are the steps:

• Choose a niche, maybe several niche so you can build several blogs at one time
• Choose a domain name with keywords in it. Example for keyword "Buy penny stock", I'll buy Buy penny stock
• Creates articles, the target is to have 1000 indexed page on Google. You probably will need around 100 articles. 1 article can create 10 pages with the help of its tags. Create 1 articles daily for 2 months.
  
• Create 5 comments daily for 2 month. Your target 100 backlinks on Google.
  
• Put adsense and affiliate links on the blogs
  
• Repeat the process over and over again.
  

Adwords Tips

• Know Your Earnings Per Click (EPC). If you get $10 of a sale and conversion rate is 5%. Then your EPC is $0.5. You you will know that you will make money for every click under $0.50.
  
• Have One Keyword Per AdGroup. It's crucial to write just one ad per keyword so that your ads are laser targeted. You will have high QS and lower Cost Per Click (CPC).
• Include keywords in your ad text (for keyword-targeted ads).
  Include your keywords in your ad text (especially the title) to show users that your ad relates to their search. If your ad shows when a user searches on a keyword in your ad group, the keyword will appear in bold in your ad text.
  
• Use a appealing title. Your ad should convey a call-to-action along with the benefits of your product or service. A call-to-action encourages users to click. Some call-to-action phrases are Buy,Sell, and Free.
• Have relevant landing page. Have your Keyword in your title tag, H1 tags and body text.
  

Email Marketing Part II - finding ebook

In order to get emails list, I need to offer people in exchange for their email. You can create your own ebook, but it is too time consuming, so I'm looking for free ebook out there. I'm searching for "ebooks", "free ebook", "plr".

After 10 minutes of searching, I couldn't find anything that I could use.

Email Marketing Part I

This is my journey on email marketing, my target is to build my own email list. My target is 100 emails and monetize those list. See the following numbers:
-PPC cost / click = $0.05
-PPC CTR = 20%
-So to get 100 emails, it will cost me = 100 * (0.05 / 0.2) = $25

So I need to find a product which I could get $25 for 1 sale. Consider I have 1% sales conversion from the 100 emails.

Top eight ways to monetize your blog

• Contextual ads. These ads are shown based on the content displayed to the user. A contextual advertising system scans the text of a website for keywords and returns advertisements to the webpage based on what the user is viewing. The most popular contextual advertising are Google Adsense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, and Microsoft adCenter. Contextual advertising can be in text or graphic form.
• Affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing can be a huge source of income, better than adsense if it is done correctly. Affiliate marketing is selling other people products. Many people just use banner for affiliate marketing. This won’t work well. You must affect your customer to buy, and this can not be done by using banner. You must make the your reader to trust you, and gives them solution of their problem. You might offer something that will save their money. Here is the top affiliate that I recommend if you are in the internet marketing niche. You can earn a lot from there.
• Selling banner. You can sell banner by asking people to advertise. It needs work. Even a great product needs promotion. Before selling your ads, you must place advertising space on your blog. Email companies statistic about your blog, price list, and give then screenshot where their ads will be placed. Your offer must describe your blog’s topic, pageview, and unique visitor statistic. If you can give them statistic about your visitor characteristic, like male or female, your visitor jobs, ages, and location. If the company is familiar with internet marketing, you can also provide them with other statistic like technorati rank, and Google PageRank. You should also specify your policy on PageRank, whether you will give backlink or not.
• Making review. You can make money by writing review for other people product or service. SponsoredReview.com, ReviewMe.com and PayPerPost.com can help you by being a brokers between you and sponsors who pay for you to write a review of their website/product/service on your blog. The bad thing about making review is you have to work/write to get money. It is not a passive income sources.
• In-Text Advertising. You can show ads based on certain keywords in the text of your articles into link advertisements. If a reader clicks the link you make money. The most popular providers of this service are Kontera.
• RSS advertising. If you build up a good RSS readership, you can monetize your feed by using services like Feedburner.com and integrate it with Google Adsense on your feed.
• Donation. You can set donation using paypal. Go to paypal and get the donation code. At paypal, you can click on the “Merchant Services”. In the “Key Features” box, click on the “Donations”.
• Selling your content like ebook. Create an usefull ebook about topics of your blog. If you do internet marketing blog, you can sell an ebook about increasing traffic or SEO. You can receive payment using paypal. It can save you a lot of effort in setting up your shopping cart.
