According to the site, these result in added clicks because the information reaches the user in a more relevant way. This is because the ads themselves stand unobtrusively and do not get in the way of the site’s visitor.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This platform has launched this week, and for the time being you can test it out and see the way things could turn out and the income you could receive by using a virtual balance that is provided, and set the daily budget and the cost per click.

In the majority of cases the affiliate marketing campaign is just a small piece of the entire marketing plan but there are many business owners who opt to trust solely on this kind of marketing. The main objective of doing this is to save costs while still achieving profitable advertising. Even so, as soon as a business becomes reasonably affluent they have to deliberate about being a bit proactive and amalgamating affiliate marketing alongside different types of Internet marketing such as placing classified ads and orchestrating an email marketing campaign. This article is going to determine just what affiliate marketing is and will still give an opinion on why this is a favorite way of getting started in Internet Marketing and how it can be used effectively. For more help go to <a href="http://www.money-secret-exposed.com/" target="_blank">www.money-secret-exposed.com</a> .An affiliate marketing campaign is generally a case where other website owners position ads for your product on their websites. In Internet marketing terms these website owners are known as affiliates. It is vital to realize how this kind of marketing operates. In normal circumstances the affiliates are allocated a code for your advertisement to insert on their website or where ever else they choose and given the freedom to promote their own website as they see fit. In the case of advertising on their website they are also inviting traffic to your website because the affiliate's ad on their website is diverting visitors to your own website.<br /><br /><br />One of the most attractive things about affiliate marketing is the affiliate is only rewarded if he makes a sale. This simply means the website owner is not obliged to pay the affiliate unless the affiliate is generating visitors and attracting sales. To be successful may be defined as generating visitors to the website, resulting in a sale or perhaps it maybe just require a name and email address if the website owner is building a database of names. The payment for affiliates is usually based on pay per click, pay per lead or pay per sale. Pay per click and pay per lead are normally paid in the way of a flat fee which is awarded to the affiliate on each occasion an Internet user either clicks on the affiliate's ad on his website or performs a particular activity after clicking on the ad. Pay per sale may end in the affiliate being awarded a set fee or more commonly a percentage of the sale. This depends entirely on the agreement between the website owner and the affiliate. When using affiliate services such as Click bank the terms are set before the affiliate chooses which service or product to promote.<br /><br /><br />For a website owner, the most profitable use of affiliate marketing is to actively pursue out affiliates who have a proven track record of making a high number of sales for the businesses which they promote. This is vital because the more visitors they get to their website each month the more liable your website it to get attention from visitors who click on the affiliate's advert. The majority of affiliate programs are available to anyone. A website is not necessary due to the many other means of promoting a product or service, Google Ad words, Ezine Advertising or Email Marketing are just some of the ways where a website is not necessary which is ideal for beginners. To know more about it logon to <a href="http://www.affiliate-manager-pro.com/" target="_blank">www.affiliate-manager-pro.com</a> .An additional aspect of affiliate marketing which can make a difference to success or failure is the content and design of your ads. It is vital to bear in mind that affiliate marketing is regarded in the same way that other types of marketing are regarded and care must be taken to write ads which are likely to be captivating to your targeted website visitors. This means that everything from the colors of your ad to the size and look of the font has to be highly thought about in order to design an attractive advertisement. Many website owners will provide advertisements that have proven to work well, which is a godsend if you are apprehensive about creating you own.

A lot of bloggers earn money online through Google AdSense and most of them also depend on it as their only source of online income generation. But do you know that the main reason most people never make money online is because they don’t do it properly.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">To make money online, there are various ways. For some of them, you don’t even have to have buyers, you simply need to drive traffic to your website. Earning money through Google Adsense is the simplest and easiest way to earn money online. If you don’t have a clue what AdSense is, where have you been all this time?</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Google AdSense is a pay per click program from Google. All you have to do is add a piece of code on your site and AdSense will automatically detect what your site is about and shows ads that are relevant to your site. AdSense will pay you whenever your visitor clicks on an ad on your site. You can place a maximum 3 Adsense ads on a page.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Please keep in mind that Adsense doesn’t allow the placement of other contextual ads alongside them such as adbrite, bidvertiser, and text-link-ads. I find success with Google Adsense simply for the fact that I author and maintain numerous dot Com websites that attract people who don’t know about the program. As a blogger, you should not only rely on Adsense as your only income source.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Do you want to start earning your first 100 dollars online now?

The simple answer, although it may not appear simple, is that they both have their advantages and they both have their ideal uses. Fortunately, of course, there is absolutely no reason why you can’t use both forms of search marketing in order to generate a marketing mix that drives highly targeted and incredibly active visitors to the pages of your website.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">PPC marketing can be used to generate traffic very quickly. While SEO usually requires several weeks if not months before you start to reap the rewards of your efforts, once a PPC campaigns has been established, verified, and funded, it can start to generate traffic immediately to all of the relevant pages on your site. For the new website this offers obvious advantages, and makes PPC the form of search marketing that many new website owners turn their attentions to first.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Combining PPC with other forms of marketing allows you to generate an online marketing mix that offers a consistently high level of traffic as well as visitors that are inclined to perform the desired actions on your site. PPC, like SEO, generates targeted visitors as long as you conduct decent keyword research and ensure that the landing page copy on your website is properly optimised to take full advantage of the traffic as soon as it starts to arrive. <a href="http://www.clickconsult.com/Internet-Marketing-Blog/pay-per-click/pay-per-click-management/will-ppc-and-seo-ever-be-friends.html"><strong>Combine PPC and SEO</strong></a>, as well as any other forms of marketing in order to get the best results.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Source : <a href="http://www.clickconsult.com/Internet-Marketing-Blog/pay-per-click/about-pay-per-click-ppc/ppc-or-seo-2.html">ClickConsult</a><br /></span></p>Muhammad Kamran Khan Deewanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07066526885229376538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212972228616566414.post-82823047564660187402008-12-21T02:22:00.000+05:002008-12-21T02:24:22.450+05:00Get Rich Quick with PPC and the Cadbury’s Gorilla<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The song “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins was originally released in 1981, but, thanks to that advert (which has nothing at all to do with chocolate!), the 26 year old song recently entered the iTunes top 10 downloaded songs.

Back then, there was always some guy with a bit of money and a shoddy website who wanted to a PPC campaign to capture leads from people with poor credit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">As I wrote on the <a href="http://www.clickconsult.com/Internet-Marketing-Blog/pay-per-click/pay-per-click-management/high-cost-per-click-keywords.html">25th of September 2007</a> …</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>It takes an average cost per click (CPC) of £2.56 to £3.84 to be in position 1 to 3 for the keyword “mortgages”. Add two letters to this word – “Re” – and you are going to need deeper pockets. For the keyword “Remortgages”, it takes an average CPC of £9.71 to £14.57 to get your ads in positions 1 to 3. Add two words in front of “Remortgages” and your wallet will really feel the strain. For the keyword “Bad Credit Remortgages”, average cost per clicks for the top three ads are between £17.28 to £25.93.<br /></em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em><br /></em></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I also mused …</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>Could “IVA” be the most costly keyword in the UK? IVA is an abbreviation for Individual Voluntary Arrangement and is nothing more complicated than a person offering their creditors a repayment proposal that would enable the creditors to recover more money than if they chose to petition for bankruptcy. On the August 20th 2007, a click on the keyword “IVAs” with an ‘OK’ quality score rating cost £33.88 to be in an average position of 9.3 on Google.co.uk.</em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em></em><br />.<br />At the time, I just couldn’t understand it. There was no logic to it. The more debt you were in; the more financial service companies were willing to pay for your clicks. To qualify for an IVA, you need to be in at least £15,000 worth of debt – and ‘IVA’ was the most expensive keyword of all! The more flimsy and precarious your mortgage plan, the higher the CPCs went. No one was interested in Google browsers with a steady income and a sound credit history, but rather everyone was clamouring for clicks from the irresponsible subprime crowd – deep in the red individuals on their third remortgage and with enough credit cards to play solitaire.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">So as the credit crunch bites and the banking crisis spreads to the rest of the world economy, I think back to those clients – long gone now – who jumped on the “I want bad credit leads!” bandwagon. It’s simple common sense. Why did they throw so much money at people who had no money? What other outcome could they have possibly expected? Of course, at the time they were motivated by greed and the promise of riches from making poor people suffer as they struggled to pay astronomical interest rates. And now, through a recession … through rising unemployment … through higher taxes to fund billion pound bank bail outs … we are all suffering for their greed.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Source : <a href="http://www.clickconsult.com/Internet-Marketing-Blog/pay-per-click/about-pay-per-click-ppc/the-ppc-guy-who-saw-the-credit-crunch-coming-in-september-2007.html">ClickConsult</a><br /></span></p>Muhammad Kamran Khan Deewanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07066526885229376538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212972228616566414.post-35358368851357422962008-12-20T18:48:00.001+05:002008-12-21T02:20:07.918+05:00Improve Your PPC Conversion Rate By 62.5%<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">This is not a quick fix so apologies for anyone who thought that a few quick changes would turn their PPC (pay-per-click) campaign around, PPC campaign management just doesn’t work that way. However this stat is highly relevant to anyone who undertakes SEO or PPC advertising.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Click Consult has recently undertaken a comparison of different PPC accounts to reveal a statistic that should make a business re-consider their whole internet marketing strategy. Using a random selection of 20 Click Consult PPC clients, we have been able to compare the conversion rates of clients who do PPC alone to PPC and SEO combined. We found that if you combine the two, your conversion rate on PPC is 62.5% higher on average.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">I’m not even going to mention any of the many benefits of undertaking SEO; however we have many other blogs that do if you are interested. However I will point out that if you are currently using PPC advertising and not undertaking SEO then you should definitely consider adding SEO to your marketing strategy. Also if you do currently undertake SEO but do not have a PPC campaign then the benefits of starting a PPC campaign will be increased.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Obviously there are many factors that affect your PPC conversion rate other than the direct affects of SEO on a website. However in this random sample these other factors even each other out because clients with both high and low converting industries and websites were taken into account on both sides.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">If I’ve lost you or if you’re not sure what to do with this information then don’t worry just give Click Consult a call and we’ll be happy to go through your internet marketing strategy with you.

Having just one common keyword theme in your ad group (for example, used books, cheap used books, used books UK, used books online, buy used books etc) and bespoke ad text that is unique to the ad group is strongly recommended by Google and one of the fundamental ways to make PPC advertising successful. It goes without saying that if someone is searching Google for ‘used books’ they don’t want to see a sponsored links ad for ‘new books’.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">This is why what I now call ‘Google Ghost Ads’ are so annoying. Ghost ads are ad text that freely move between ad groups no matter how well segregated your ad groups are. It doesn’t matter if your used books ad belongs to the used books ad group, they will break free of ad group barriers and appear for other unrelated searches, such as ‘new books.’</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Why do they do this? The answer is Google’s closely guarded, much vaunted Quality Score algorithm. If one ad has a higher Quality Score rating than another, then it can wander between searches and appear for any keyword in your campaign. Negatives on an ad group level can help, but unless you conduct searches for every keyword in your account, you never know what is appearing for what in Google’s search results. Furthermore, this considerable task must be carried out frequently because Quality Score ratings are always changing and never static.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The fact that you can have God knows what ad appear for God knows what keyword search is very worrying. The sooner Google takes action to stop ghost ads floating out of their ad group jail cells and into other searches that have nothing to do with them, the better!</span></p>Muhammad Kamran Khan Deewanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07066526885229376538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212972228616566414.post-36292085439960115932008-12-20T18:43:00.000+05:002008-12-20T18:44:47.120+05:00Email Marketing is the Less Expensive Alternative<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Expense is not only measured in pounds and pence, other factors like time and effort plays a part too. Email marketing is a very cost effective marketing tool as it means that you can interact with users who actually prefer this method of communication over other traditional methods like call centres.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">As it gives them the ability to peruse your product when and where it suits them, it cuts down the necessity of having teams of people, and people require overheads like money, training and a place from which to operate from.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The time needed for an agent to contact only one potential subscriber is counted in minutes, whereas the time taken for an email campaign to be sent to thousands of people is counted in seconds. Straight away you can see that the cost to your company in the form of both time and pounds is not even comparable.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Cyberspace or not</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The costs of designing an email campaign are low compared to the alternative of having to send, or advertise printed matter. Both email and printed campaigns do involve initial set up costs in the form of design and layout. From there on email campaigns involve ‘sending’ costs only as a template can be used, whereas printed campaigns entail recurring printing and posting costs.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The costs to your company in being able to actively keep your <a href="http://www.clickconsult.com/Internet-Marketing-Blog/email-marketing/about-email-marketing/email-marketing-database-rationalisation.html"><strong>database updated</strong></a> are beyond measure.

WordTracker will produce a number of keywords and synonymous terms, and give you the relative popularity of each term, much like Google’s tool does.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Note that the numbers you see in WordTracker will usually be different to those you see in Google as they get their data from different search engines, but the relationship between the terms will usually be the same. So a term that ranks higher than another term in Google will also rank proportionally higher in WordTracker.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">The good thing about WordTracker is that it doesn’t lump terms together. So it’s easy to see whether "dog collar" or "dog collars" is more popular, and words ending with "ing" will be differentiated.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">It’s this detection of variance in the keywords that I find to be the most useful feature of WordTracker.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><h5 style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">4. <a href="http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/">Keyword Discovery</a></font></h5><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">It isn’t cheap — the standard version costs $69.95 per month. But due to the fact that Keyword Discovery compiles keyword search statistics from over 180 search engines worldwide, it is probably the most powerful and accurate keyword research tool available.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">One of Keyword Discovery’s best features is the provision of 12 month seasonal trends, so that you can see if the keywords that you are interested in are popular all year ’round — or just during a certain period.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">For instance, if you were creating a costume website, you’d probably find that you should prepare for an increase in traffic around Halloween and also during the summer, when more people are having bachelor parties and so on.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><h4 style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Other methods for finding keywords</font></h4><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Keyword research tools are one way of finding keywords, but there are other useful methods too. The downside to keyword popularity tools is that they don’t necessarily tell you which terms people are using when they want to buy.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">For instance, it’s possible to have search terms that are very, very popular, but are poor markets to try to sell to. For example, "hairstyle" related keywords are incredibly popular, but most of the people searching on them are simply looking for pictures and other free information. They’re not usually interested in buying anything.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">That’s why I recommend you look at the advertiser competition in a market before you get too excited about a popular search term. If there are no other advertisers, there’s a good chance there isn’t any money in that market.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">But that assumes you already know what you’re looking for.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">If you’re just brainstorming keywords that might be profitable, there’s another resource you can use that is completely free: forums.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><h5 style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Forums</font></h5><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Forums are places where people go to discuss issues, ask questions, and talk about things that are stressing them out. By browsing forums related to your general topic, you can get a good idea of the sort of things that concern your target market and "where their pain is".</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">For instance, on a dog related topic you might find that a lot of people are searching for "german shepherd". This doesn’t mean they’re interested in buying anything however; and if you were spending money on pay-per-click promoting this topic you might find yourself losing money because people are simply searching for photos or something similar.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">However, if you go into a forum, then you’ll see topics like "stop dog aggression" or "antisocial dog". These are people who are looking for information because they have a need — they have "pain". These people are much more likely to purchase something to ease their pain than someone who is just looking for dog pictures or general information.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">So forum topics and discussions are not only good for brainstorming, but they can give you a valuable insight into what your market is thinking. They’re also a great place to get ideas for article subjects, review topics, and product topics — all sorts of things.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">You could use keywords related to these topics in your pay-per-click keywords, leading visitors to a page reviewing a number of products that solve their problem. Or you could use their questions to target your landing page.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">In either case, it’ll seem like you really understand the issues facing your market, and that’s good.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Remember, once you’ve got an idea about a particular issue facing your market, plug a bunch of appropriate words into Google and see if people are advertising on them already. If they are — then good. If they’re not — have a think about why this might be.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Also, try to use specific words that your competition might not think of.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">At Affilorama, we’re big fans of forum research and use this method all the time for our own products. Make sure that you don’t take this suggestion lightly — it really is a great way of getting to know your target market, what they are really interested in and where their pain is.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><h5 style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Localized ads</font></h5><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">When you plug your keywords into any of the keyword tools we’ve mentioned, you’re bound to find results specific to a certain region.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">For instance, if you enter the word "dog", you might see that a lot of people are searching for "dog schools california". You can still make a play for these keywords even if you’re not promoting a product or service located in California itself.</font></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2"><br /></font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">If I saw that "dog schools California" was a relatively popular search term, I would be tempted to create a pay-per-click ad saying something like "Dog schools in California recommend these eBooks".</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">The ad still uses the words "dog schools California", and the visitor knows that they’ll be taken to a site about eBooks so those who click are still reasonably qualified.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">It’s a logical assumption that people interested in dog schools might also be interested in eBooks on dog training… so I’d make a site reviewing dog training books (ostensibly recommended by dog schools in California). Remember to test these things though.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><h5 style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Online Shopping Sites</font></h5><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Another way of getting ideas for markets and search terms is by taking a look at online shopping sites such as <a href="http://www.amazon.com/">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.ebay.com/">eBay</a> and <a href="http://clickbank.com/">ClickBank</a>.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">For example, if you were creating a keyword list for the weight loss market, then you could search for "lose weight" in Amazon and find weight-loss related book titles and author names. If you click on the book descriptions and comments from readers, you’ll discover even more keywords that are very important to the weight loss market.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">People searching for specific things are much more targeted — They know what they want enough to plug the name into a search engine. Therefore those search terms are likely to have higher conversion rates.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">For instance, if you were focussing on "weight loss", you could look up weight loss books or DVDs on Amazon.com, and then write reviews of those products.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">You could then make money either by signing up to Amazon’s affiliate program and earning a small commission if somebody purchases through your link — and when I say small commission, I mean very small!</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Or alternatively you could have "supplemental" reviews of the "top 4 ebooks related to this topic", and then hopefully earn a considerably higher affiliate commission through those.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">Clickbank is an excellent place to find related eBooks that pay much higher commissions than Amazon.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">In any case, by focussing on search terms containing specific product names or author names you’re able to get more targeted traffic to your site, and that’s a very good thing!</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><font size="2">ClickBank and eBay are also good places to finding products and authors you might like to focus on. Remember to take the names you find and plug them into your keyword popularity tool to see if many people are searching on them.</font></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> <font size="2">In this lesson you’ll learn how to uncover large keyword lists, how to uncover more profitable keywords, and which free and paid keyword research tools are the best.

Sounds like the worst time to start an online business right? Wrong! 2009 could be the perfect time to start a business if you are smart about it. Here’s the reasons why:<br /><br /><span id="more-2078"></span></span> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>It’s Easy to do</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Starting an online business is simple to do. It’s not like starting a normal business. It doesn’t take as much money or time to create an online business. There are many different ways to make money online including retail stores, affiliate advertising, creating a successful blog, article writing, or website/graphic design etc. All those ideas are legitimate online businesses that have made a ton of money for a ton of people who are doing what they love. You can even create a successful online business in your spare time. You don’t have to quit your day job to be a success.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>It’s Cheap</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Creating a website is extremely cheap compared to starting up a store or office. Even if you don’t design your website yourself you can pay someone else to do it and you can get it done cheap by free lancers through sites like <a href="http://www.guru.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Guru.com</span></a>. After you get your site designed you will need to pick a domain name. You’re going to want to pick a domain name that relates to what you are selling. After that you will need to pick a web host. Web hosting is a service that takes all the files that make up your website and stores them on a server that is connected up to the internet 24/7/365. From their users will be able to access your website all the time. You can find reliable web hosting for $10-$20 a month, (Learn <a href="http://www.rebaterabbit.com/selecting-a-webhost.htm" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to Pick the Right Web Host</span></a>). After initial start up costs, the cost of maintaining a website are very small which allows you to be very profitable. All the choices you have to make here are extremely important ones for your site, but they can all be very cheap.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Creating a Website is Easy Now!</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">You don’t have to know HTML to create a good looking website now. Using programs like Adobe Dreamweaver allows you to create the design of your website and it creates the HTML that goes along with the design. There are simple tutorials all over the internet that tell you how to create a website. You can use sites like <a href="http://webhosting.yahoo.com/ps/sb/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Yahoo’s Site Builder</span></a> to drag and drop pictures to design your website. If you wanted to create a blog you can use free blog hosting sites like <a href="home" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Google’s Blogger</span></a> and create a blog in minutes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>E-commerce is Succeeding even in a Down Economy</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">While regular brick & mortar stores are struggling to even stay in business, e-commerce business is growing. According to the Department of Commerce U.S. <a href="http://www.census.gov/mrts/www/data/html/08Q2.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Retail E-commerce</span></a> sales numbers are up all around. The 2<sup>nd</sup> Quarter of 2008 saw $34.6 billion in sales which was a 2.9% increase from the 1<sup>st</sup> quarter and a 9.5% increase from the second quarter of 2007. Just recently on “Cyber Monday” (the online world’s “black Friday”) the online world saw another positive sign, consumers spent $846 billion on cyber Monday which was an increase of 15% over 2007’s <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ip_7C6RQ1KTyigoVRkSBQ5ZOrdWg" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">cyber Monday</span></a>.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Marketing is better/faster/more measurable online</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Marketing online is all around better online. There’s an estimated 1.5 billion people <a href="http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">who use the internet</span></a> worldwide. That’s 21.9% of the world’s population. It has grown 305% from 2000-2008 and that number will only continue to grow as the populations in emerging markets like China, the Middle East, and Africa continue to get modernized. The Internet is a force that you cannot ignore. There’s a lot of people that use the internet and the great news is they are easy to reach and easy to target. A <a href="http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/12-02-2008/0004935214&EDATE=" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">survey</span></a> by Hearst Electronics Group and Goldstein Group of business to business marketers showed that the <em>“migration of communications budgets from traditional media to online has accelerated to the point where nearly half of all spending, 47 percent, is spent on online marketing techniques today.”</em> The businesses are doing that for a reason, they can track their marketing methods online a lot easier so they can understand what their ROI is and decide where to put the money. Also it is easier to target people online than it is in the real world so it takes less money to make more sales. Some of the ways to advertise online include search engine optimization (SEO), pay per click ads, article marketing, blogging. All but the pay per click ads can be free. SEO is the technical term for optimizing your site and link building with the goal of getting to the top spot in search engines for a certain keyword. This is important for the success of your online business because the majority of online users use search engines like Google to find what they are looking for. Being at the top spot in Google gets you the most traffic for the cheapest amount….free! There are tons of easy and cheap ways to market your website online.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Tracking…Online Analytics</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I touched on this in the previous paragraph but this deserves more attention. Tracking how your business is doing in all aspects is important, no matter what type of business you have. When I say tracking your business I mean figuring out if you are putting your dollars in the right place. If users are leaving your site right away (a term called “bouncing”) maybe it’s because your site is not user friendly so you must re-design your website, if users are reading the content of your site but then leaving during the check out process maybe it’s time for a new shopping cart, it’s also important to know where your users are coming from and where they are going. You can tell all of this by using analytics software that you can get online. <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Google Analytics</span></a> is perhaps the best program that you can use to track your website and the best part is it’s completely free. All it involves is placing code that Google provides you on every page that you want the program to track. On a daily basis you can check to see how many people visited your site, what they looked at, how they came to your site, how long they stayed, where they exited from, and most importantly if they were a conversion and how they got there. That type of measurability is critical to any business and that and so much more is possible online.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Starting in a Bad Economy is a Good Thing!</strong></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Starting up a business in a bad economy can be a good thing if you are passionate about what you are doing. As <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/badeconomy.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Paul Graham</span></a> pointed out in his essay the economy does not necessarily affect a startup it is the founders that make or break the company. Just ask Bill Gates of Microsoft or Steve Jobs of Apple both of which were started in the terrible economy of the 1970’s. A down economy is an opportunity if looked at in the right light, by opportunistic entrepreneurs. A down economy means less competition, more companies/people looking to make deals, people looking for ways to save. It has become a well known fact that online is the place to get deals on just about anything you need. Retailers offering aggressive online discounts this year were able to increase sales from last year because they were able to adjust to a down economy because of the flexibility of online business.

I’d gone through many different schemes and programs trying to figure exactly what made this thing tick! I’d been through hosting FFA pages, to classified ads, through pay per click advertising. I had been marketing on the internet for years in the dark throwing away one advertising method after another and then I finally figured it out! And it was so simple…</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">It all boiled down to this in a nutshell. There are basically only two types of advertising on the internet period. There is short term advertising that will bring you quick hit exposure such as ezines, pay per click, paid to click, safelists. This type of advertising will bring you a quick surge in visitors to your lead pages, but once the amount of traffic that you have bought has been used up you won’t be able to make use of it again until you buy another traffic package. I love advertising this way, but I found out that when times came where I didn’t have a whole lot of money to advertise, then I would be faced with a period where I couldn’t get much exposure for my business. So this was a drawback to me!</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The second type of advertising is long-term advertising. When I say long-term advertising I’m talking mainly about methods that will allow you to leave a text link advertisement of your website on a website or in an article that sticks on that site forever or for several months and draws traffic or is passed around the internet by many people virally and draws traffic permanently. I’m talking about some forms of classified advertising, article marketing, squidoo lens, search engine submisssion, traffic bars, 12 month sponsor links and so on and so forth. I’m basically speaking about advertising that once you do it enough times you can bring back considerable amounts of traffic to your webpages that lasts for a very long-time! The only problem for me was that use of this type of advertising takes a while to implement so the need for short term growth and cash was hard to come by.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I started looking around the internet at some of the succesful marketers and I began to notice a trend. Every one of their marketing campaigns consisted of short term methods that bought quick traffic, and long term methods that once you put the links out there or built enough members(traffic bars) you could get free traffic forever and it grew virally! As soon as I made note of this, every thing became clear to me.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">To be successful on the internet, In a nut shell all you had to do was combine short and long-term traffic building strategies that have been proven to work in your campaigns, utilize an autoresponder for follow up and be consistent every week in your efforts to build your base. Once I understood this I knew that this could be applied to any worthwhile business and you have a great chance of being successful! </span></p>Muhammad Kamran Khan Deewanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07066526885229376538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212972228616566414.post-5539646936788708822008-12-20T18:11:00.001+05:002008-12-20T18:15:27.091+05:00Make Money While MOST People Are Sleeping! “Work From Home” “YouTube Marketing”<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Ebay make money online robert bankston economic stimulus income free leads and traffic generating cpa marketing pay per click affiliate programs reverse funnel system abunza cash gifting the youtube course most viewed subscribers channel promotion.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Marketing expert Robert Bankston shares with you his “Youtube Marketing” secrets!

Even though it is it is not as common as it used to be, you still hear about companies that are willing to pay people for answering emails. Yes, that is right, reading and responding to emails. Partaking of the offerings of affiliate programs is another way to make money online. That is another way of saying e-commerce and network marketing. These are the most common ways to make money online, although there are lots of other ways. A search of any popular search engine will turn up lots of others.<br /><br /><br />The idea of staying home and making money over the Internet continues to gain popularity with stay at home moms and those that aspire to be. Rather than having to pay childcare expenses and others such as gas and clothing by going out of the house to work, the Internet opens a whole new world that eliminates all expenses involved in working away from home. Not everyone wants to work online from their home, but the opportunity for those that do is truly amazing. The problem is not finding them. It really is a matter of separating the true opportunities from the scams and work programs that just will not be successful if followed.<br /><br /><br />Being able to work without any supervision is a must and you must be able to set priorities for things to get done. Organization and good management abilities are important also. You pretty much need all of these qualities to one degree or another if you expect to succeed online.<br /></span> </div>Muhammad Kamran Khan Deewanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07066526885229376538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212972228616566414.post-14905150170651407132008-12-20T16:46:00.000+05:002008-12-20T16:54:43.410+05:00Internet Marketing & Diarrhea<p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">It was the end of 2006 and with all the <strong>Internet marketing industry</strong> material on the web I found myself overwhelmed with this business; I caught a bad case of <strong><em>online marketing diarrhea</em></strong>. I’m sharing this story because I know so many of you are going through the same issue and cant find the pepto bismol for your own marketing dilemma.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">Obviously this was a horrible feeling but I knew what it was - I could center why I was feeling this way I and I did something about it. I was so excited about making money online that I failed to understand this concept. I spent time browsing through the forums looking for ideas and I was obviously all over the place - had no clue what to write about, spent time on these forums writing absolute garbage to increase my post count (Which by the way is a complete no no).</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </div><p style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:85%;">I figured that it was time to get to the nits and grits of the solution - the reason why I was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated was related to one common mistake we all make - <strong>lack of focus and direction</strong>.

I understand that a lot of people get into this industry because they think they can make a quick buck. I have no illusions. I am sure that this blog will be my least profitable web site. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t make money with this blog. I will review several options available to bloggers. I currently use all of the following methods, though not all of them are used on this blog.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"> </div><ol style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Affiliate Marketing</strong> - Some of the big networks in affiliate marketing include <a href="http://www.cj.com/" target="_blank">Commission Junction</a>, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=bP*I93mauRY&offerid=7097.10000001&type=3&subid=0" target="_blank">Linkshare</a>, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=69&u=94808&m=47&urllink=&afftrack=drivelocity" target="_blank">ShareASale</a>, among many others. Don’t fall into the trap of believing that you can throw up a page full of banners and generate an income. Having too many ads is a sure way to drive away your visitors. Tailor your ads to your posts and you can not only provide a service, but make more money than having random, un-related ads on your blog. For more information on affiliate marketing, I strongly suggest you join <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=4862&u=94808&m=972&urllink=&afftrack=drivelocity" target="_blank">ABestWeb</a>.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Paid Posting</strong> - There are several options available for bloggers who wish to <a href="http://www.payingpost.com/" target="_blank">get paid to post</a>. One of which is the recently redesigned <a href="http://www.payingpost.com/?xyz=303" target="_blank">PayingPost.com</a> which will, if approved, present opportunities to you that you can choose to accept and blog about. If your post meets the requirements, you can earn a few bucks per post. Keep in mind that your blog will need to be somewhat established first. What’s great about this option is that you can earn while doing something that you’d be doing anyway, blogging.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>In-house Ad Sales</strong> - Many people overlook this option, opting only for affiliate ads or adsense for banner and link advertising. By offering site sponsorship directly (see 125×125 ads to the right and the advertising page), you can control the price, the ads and it can be a much more guaranteed form of income. Some advertisers can also help you by sponsoring, or providing prizes for contests. If you think it’s too hard, look into <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpadsnew/" target="_blank">OpenX</a>, formerly phpAdsNew, to serve the ads and <a href="http://www.paypal.com/" target="_blank">PayPal</a> to handle subscriptions. It can be fairly automated. If that’s still too hands-on, check out <a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/bidvertiser/bdv_ref_publisher.dbm?Ref_Option=pub&Ref_PID=16113" target="_blank">Bidvertiser</a>.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Contextual CPC Ads</strong> - Contextual ads are those that display depending on the content of they page of your site on which they reside. There are many pros and cons of using <a href="http://www.google.com/adsense/" target="_blank">Google Adsense</a> (see sponsors ads to the left) or <a href="http://publisher.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo! Publisher Network</a> to serve contextual CPC (cost per click) ads. If done correctly, they can generate substantial revenue. But there are many marketers out there looking to swindle new bloggers out of their money by offering them the road to quick cash. Your success with contextual CPC advertising generally depends on the traffic to your blog, whether or not they have a high level of ad blindness, and the content of your blog.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Contextual Links</strong> - Rather than having CPC banners and ad blocks on your blog, you can have CPC links directly in your posts. These ads are usually set to appear differently (i.e. two underlines) so as to not confuse the visitor. Once the link is moused over, an ad bubble pops up. One such network is <a href="http://www.kontera.com/" target="_blank">Kontera</a> - you can run this in addition to Adsense and not be in breach of terms.</span></li></ol>Muhammad Kamran Khan Deewanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07066526885229376538noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212972228616566414.post-30502341245363967792008-12-19T14:03:00.000+05:002008-12-19T14:07:37.272+05:00Turn Your Website Traffic Into Revenue<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Making money on the internet is no great mystery - many people have done it in many ways, and you can take advantage of their experience. It is not an easy task to accomplish, but then nothing worthwhile is. If you have a website, it is time to start turning your traffic into revenue that you can use to pay your monthly hosting bills, and maybe even work on your websites full time.<br /><br />While there are a multitude of ways to make money from your website, different methods are better for different websites. From text ads to affiliate programs, choosing the right program is the first step to turning your website into a cash generating machine.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Informational Websites</span><br /><br />Probably the most straight forward type of website to monetize are those that provide information about a certain topic. You don’t need your users to buy anything or sign up for anything, they simple need to be on your website. The ideal type of ad for an informational website is probably the contextual ad, although depending on your site and your traffic you should shop around the various providers and pick the best one for your site.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Google Adsense</span><br /><br />The most popular contextual advertiser, and probably the best place to start. Sign up for an adsense account (it’s free) and in a day or so you should be approved. Follow the simple steps to get the code for your website, and then just insert it. Now you’ve got ads running on your website.<br /><br />As easy as adsense is to set up, maximizing its effectiveness is another matter entirely. There is no easy answer to this, and the best advice is to experiment with different ad placements and sizes. What works for one page may not work for another. The most effective way to use adsense is to integrate it into your page content so it looks like that web page and not an ad. With google’s code generating, you can customize how your ad looks, which helps when integrating.<br /><br />Adsense also automatically searches your site and displays ads that are relevant to your subject matter. This can either be a good thing or a bad thing, as you run the risk of displaying competing websites on your pages, which you probably don’t want. There is a solution to this, in that you can add filters to your adsense account, so google will not display ads for a certain url that you specify.<br /><br />Adsense is a great tool to start monetizing your website, and it may be the only tool you need. It is very easy to get up and running, and very little upkeep is required. However, it is most effective when used on sites with a lot of text, so if your website isn’t informational in nature adsense is probably not your best option.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Yahoo Publisher Network</span><br /><br />Yahoo Publisher Network, or YPN for short, is Yahoo’s answer to adsense. While it is currently in beta, you can apply for an invitation and begin running YPN ads on your site if you are accepted. Follow the same methods you used with adsense when using YPN, and compare which plan generates more money for you. Note that you CANNOT run adsense and YPN ads on the same page.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Affiliate Programs</span><br /><br />If your website has information on a certain product, it might be worth it to join an affiliate network for that type of product. When you sign up as an affiliate, you are basically generating leads for a parent company.
