Make Extra Cash With Ads OnTime
2007-03-09 19:23:00
Here's a fun way to make money online or promote your site. ‘’AdsOnTime .com is an online advertising service that divides a day into seconds and allows advertisers to show their ads on each second they buy. Ads OnTime combines ads from all over the world and allows anyone to put their advertisements on AdsOnTime.com with little cost and high exposure’’.How can you make money from Ads OnTime?Watch the ads – just watch the ads and every now and then a link will appear under the ad window. It will say ‘click now to win …$’. You get 1-5 cents when you complete the task (I managed to make $0.6 in half an hour). When you click the link, a new window will open and you have to wait 10 seconds. After that you have to enter a code (look right) into the box and submit. There is a catch; you have to be first to type in the code or you won’t get the money. It’s easy when you’re the only one online, but it’s a bit tricky if there are, let’s say, 100 people fighting for ...

Online Terrorism Or Just A Joke
2007-03-09 00:12:00
Jeremy Schoemaker of Shoemoney recently received a threatening email:''This is a warning and if you don’t pay attention to it you will suffer from bad turns.All your income is through Google Adsense and if you do not cooperate with us we will stop this income source. We would like you to pay us the total amount of USD 200 each month. This small amount could be considered as nothing compared to your earnings from Adsense. If you do not pay this amount we will have to close your account by the help of special robots and …!''Click here to read the whole emailWhile this threat seems serious, there’s no chance that Jeremy Schoemaker or any other influential blogger could be endangered by it. They’re too respectable to be banned just like that. This got me thinking what are the real motives behind this email. Here are 3 possible motives:1) Extortion – maybe this truly is the motive, and the person who sent the email is really a complete idiot! ‘Special robots’ could scar...

2007-02-12 19:56:00
Following my yesterdays post regarding Ponzi schemes, today I’m going to talk about a program that is considered to be a Ponzi scheme in most of its forms.Auto s urf programs are advertised as a great way to give you tons of free traffic. It sounds like a good offer, but the truth is that Autosurf s will do you more damage than good. Read on to find out why! WHAT IS AUTOSURF? Autosurf is a type of an online advertising program. It’s a traffic exchange that automatically rotates advertised websites in your Internet browser. You earn credits for every page you view. It’s usually 4-3 ratios, which means that every 4 pages you view, 3 people view your page. A page is displayed from 20 to 35 seconds, depending on the Autosurf host. You also have an option to buy credits (visits). WHAT MAKES AUTOSURFS SO INEFFICIENT? FAKE VISITORSVisitors you get from Autosurf programs are not unique visitors. I’m not sure that they could qualify as visitors at all. Why?Let’s say I join an ...

Beware Of The Ponzi Schemes
2007-02-11 23:29:00
Dear reader, today we are going to talk about the danger areas in the moneymaking world. So read carefully, it may save your bank account! THE BEGINNING OF PONZI SCHEMES Carlo Ponzi (1882-1949) emigrated to US from Italy in 1903. He came to Boston with less than $3. He quickly learned to read and write English. During his first decade in US (partially in Canada) he changed numerous jobs. He also perpetrated some small financial frauds and spent quite a few years in jail.Now comes the part that made our (anti) hero famousIn 1918 Ponzi found out about international postal reply coupons (IPRC). The basic idea behind it was to allow the sender to buy stamps in the foreign country for reply mail, instead of requiring the recipient to pay for them.For example, a lawyer could send a document to France for signing, including a coupon that would pay for English stamps to allow the recipient to send it back. The price of these coupons differed in some countries. Ponzi realized that he could...

2007-02-10 21:15:00
I’ll start today’s lesson with a kindergarten definition, so I ask of you not to be insulted by its complexity. Here it goes:Forum s are places where people share ideas, ask questions, socialize, get help and give advice.Now when you know what Forums are, here’s a short guide to getting traffic from them: HOW TO GET TRAFFIC USING FORUMS? Most forums let you create a signature in which you can place your description, attractive words and, most importantly, the link to your website, affiliate program or whatever is that you’re promoting.Your signature will appear at the end of your every post. Make it as attractive as possible and more people will click on it.Try to get involved as much as you can, be active; promote wisely (read the forum program policies, you could be banned if you promote to aggressively, so don’t spam).Share your ideas, help people to solve their problems, build your reputation.

Google AdWords Info
2007-02-08 23:15:00
There are literary hundreds of ways to advertise a site, but people are getting more and more involved in advertising with Google AdWord s.AdWords is Google’s main source of income, it is estimated that Google made around $2 billion in the last quarter of 2006. This article will give you basic knowledge on what makes AdWords so brilliant! GOOGLE ADWORDS AdWords are small text-only ads that sometimes appear on the right hand side of Google's search results page when you do a search.They are extraordinarily powerful, much more so than you'd think at first sight and that’s because of these 5 reasons: They are 100% targeted; the advertiser chooses which keywords have to be entered before their ad is shown. This means that you can make your ad appear only in front of people actively looking for information about a topic. You sell books? Then you can set up your AdWords ads so that they show up only when someone enters "books" into Google's search box. You can also restri...

Expiring Domains
2007-02-05 23:57:00
Today we'll talk about a good strategy for those who don't want to invest their time and effort in creating, designing and promoting a website: EXPIRING DOMAINS There are thousands of webmasters who start a site and invest a lot of time and money to promote and get traffic. It happens sometimes that they lose interest and leave their site. They leave it but the traffic is still coming because all marketing strategies used to promote it are up and running.Once the webmaster leaves, his domain ownership will expire at some point so let’s see how you can profit from that.There are all kinds of services on the Internet and off course, there are websites specialized in selling domains. Here are some I recommend:Pool.comSnapNames.comEnom.comWh en you find a domain you’re interested in, you just have to out bid other people that are interested in acquiring it. If no one besides you is interested in buying you get it for a default price of approximately $60.This is your easy ticket ...

Search Directories II
2007-02-04 21:37:00
I’ve already posted an article about search directories but I’m not entirely satisfied with information I provided you with. So here is some extra info on search directories (If you hadn’t read my first post just click here)In my first article regarding search directories I explained how they function and why you need to have your site listed in them. Today I’ll point you to the best directories that exist in the World Wide Web: OPEN DIRECTORY PROJECT Open directory project, also known as ODP and DMOZ is the largest human-edited directory in the world. It contains 4 million sites divided into 590 000 categories and it has 75 000 editors and increasing.There are multiple reasons why trying to get listed in the ODP is a good idea. The directory itself doesn’t produce a lot of traffic. Not enough to overload your server and drive you crazy from joy, but every little bit helps.So why is ODP so important? Open Direct ory is a major data source for other sites. The Google Direc...

Ways To Increase Traffic
2007-02-03 19:17:00
Dear reader, today I’d like to bring to your attention a very important factor in maintaining and increasing the level of your websites traffic so don’t miss out on this article! HOW TO GET VISITORS TO RETURN TO YOUR SITE? It happens very often that webmasters make the error of solely focusing on bringing in new crowds to their site. Don’t get me wrong; there is nothing bad in doing that, but if you really want to become popular you have to make your new visitors ‘’fall in love’’ with your site and come back again and again!There are many reasons why you would want your visitors to come back to your site. If you monitor your traffic, you can easily calculate that a person who comes to your site, looks at five pages and then returns ten times within the next year and checks out an average of two pages per visit is four times as valuable to you than one who reads a few pages and then forgets all about you after leaving.One of the reasons why you need to grow your vis...

Search Directories
2007-02-02 18:12:00
When your site becomes alive you have to start bringing visitors to it. As you know, there are many ways to do that, but you definitely shouldn’t ignore this: SEARCH DIRECTORY A search directory is specialized in linking to other websites and categorizing those links.A search directory doesn’t operate like search engines and doesn’t display lists of web pages based on keywords, instead it lists web sites by category and subcategory so users can narrow their search which could ultimately lead them to your site (=more traffic).The categorization is usually based on the whole web site, rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to inclusion in only one or two categories.Web directories often allow site owners to directly submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness. SUBMITTING TO DIRECTORIES Submitting your site to a search directory is a lot harder than submitting to search engine.Humans organize search dire...

Search Engine Algorithms
2007-02-01 21:32:00
Here is some important info you will need to understand how search engines function so you could optimize your site to their standards: HOW DO SEARCH ENGINES FUNCTION? A search engine's main job is to provide results that most satisfy user's query. If they present a result that the user visits and doesn't agree that the document is about their query, there is a very good chance that the user may not use that search engine again.Most search engines pay no attention at all to the Meta description tags. Meta description and keyword tags are hidden attributes that you can add to the front of your document which are supposed to describe the document. Since the users will never see this information, they will be disappointed if you stick in invalid keywords or fail to keep the description in line with the document's contents that usually is the case.Most Search Engine Algorithms rank pages based on the following aspects: Content of the website Representation of content, ke...

Keyword Optimization
2007-02-01 16:54:00
Today we?ll talk about a process people often give a small amount of time and attention to: KEYWORD OPTIMIZATION Many beginners do this mistake. They think of a few keywords and just pile them up on their pages and hope they will reach the top of the search engines. Yeah right!Keyword optimization is a form of art. In order to succeed you have to create a real masterpiece!Before you start optimizing your site for the search engines, you should spend some time in figuring out exactly what keywords, or what key phrases, you are going to target. Search engines are a great source of traffic, but in order to use them to their full potential, some effort is required.What you should do is not to rush things. Sit down; open up your favorite text editor in one window and your site in another. Read through the first page of your site. When you have read it, stop to think. What is this page about? Which of the words that appear in the document describe the contents of the page accurately? Wh...
