Why I Love Neverblue Ads

I have tried out various popular CPA/CPL affiliate networks like Commission Junction , ClixGalore , Clickbank etc, but never really got much success with them. Perhaps, I'm not really adept at internet marketing. But, a new name in the arena - Neverblueads , has been a boon for me! Thats one affiliate network I joined with the least expectations and got the best fruits from! Read on... I do not have an email list or anything where I spam people with affiliate links. I just put up banners of various CPA/CPL offers relevant to the content of that particular site from the affiliate network. I've had very minuscule success with offers where people had to use a credit card or shell out money to buy something. But in the neverblueads interface, I saw a lot of CPL or Cost per Lead offers, and decided to try them out. A couple of months made me around $40...which was a decent thing compared to my success with other internet affiliate programs. So, I decided top concentrate on neverb

Squidoo Lens Rankings Falling on Google

Squidoo - the much loved brat of search engines Google and Yahoo is now heading south with a vengeance. I noticed when there was a recent email from Seth Godlin to all squidoo lensmasters about some big-time spam done by one spammer who had utilized some flaw in squidoo and exploited it badly. Godlin said that everything is under control now and the exploit has been fixed. However, it seems that this spam trick did not go down well with Google and gang. My squidoo lens - http://squidoo.com/online-earning used to be on the first page for the terms earning money online and online earning . I was getting huge amounts of search engine traffic which had helped my lens get into the top 100 list not once but twice! I dont know what went wrong but the lens is no longer on the first page and the rankings on squidoo have gone down correspondingly. Its becoming more and mopre difficult to predict the Google pattern these days has its changing quite rapidly these days!

If the transfer goes smoothly, the first download emails will be going out Monday morning California time (early Tuesday in Asia). Though they say that they still haven't managed to connect all the ad servers. We have made a workaround regarding the ad server problem and we will finally be launching the Viewbar. Some

5 Tips to Boost Your Adsense Revenue

Google AdSense program has made it easier for webmasters to make money through a website. Webmasters who run an AdSense campaign will display Google's contextual Ads relevant to the content of their sites and thus encouraging visitors to click the ads and earn money for each ad click. However you will earn very little AdSense revenue if you don't know how to optimize your AdSense ads on your website. Here are some tips to increase your AdSense earning: 1. Focus on one Adsense ad format. The Large Rectangle (336X280) ad format seems to work better than other ad formats because this format tends to result in higher click through rates (CTR). Another reason is that the ads will look like normal web links that visitors use to click on them. It doesn't matter whether the visitors know that they are clicking AdSense ads or not, as long as there are clicking, you earn AdSense commission. 2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Select a color that matches your website's backgr

PPC advertising is used for search engines where the advertisers pay for every click that directs users to their web page using search engine results and links.

PayPerPost - A Review

While there are bound to be people who may (still) consider PayPerPost to be lacking intelligence and a practitioner of the dark arts, I do suppose it’s about time we move on, knowing there’s absolutely nothing that can be done to stop bloggers from using paid review services. Blogging Unless they choose to not participate, of course. In this case, it would all boil down to a matter of choice. And often the choices made reflects the quality of the reviews. But why? While most of it has to do with the comprehensiveness of a review and the efforts that bloggers commit to research before documenting their objective opinions and findings, the lesser known but equally vital factor that most of us have left out lies with the companies offering these review services to bloggers. As of now, ReviewMe and PayPerPost appears to be the most popular. During my time spent online, I’ve read quite a handful of reviews written by bloggers who are publishers with either 1 of the 2 companies and found a

So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose? Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on. Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining. When do they issue the commission checks?

This is the average number of hits to a banner or text link it takes to generate a sale based on all affiliate statistics. This factor is extremely important because t

Google Adsense - The Easiest Money To Make Online

For the last couple of months, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet.

It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online. The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits. With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit. For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other p

5 Steps For Successful Affiliate Marketing

The idea of being mere passengers on a ship meant to sail to the farthest points does not appeal to people who like to put their destiny into their own hands. They have the desire of maneuvering the ships themselves, of being able to be the ones to take it anywhere they want to. Being aboard a ship on its way to a particularly great destination is something each and every one of them dreams of, and the knowledge that they have the capacity to steer it themselves is what makes them actually want to. Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular businesses around – affiliate marketing . It is because in this business, there are no bosses to order the employees around. There are no deadlines to meet and no clutter of work do to. One only needs to be equipped with the tools needed to succeed in a business such as this, and he is bound to get what his heart ultimately desires. Just what are the things needed to be able to succeed in affil

AGLOCO - Genuine Money Making Opportunity or Scam?

AGLOCO rewards you for browsing the net using their trademark 'viewbar' (once availabe). It stands for "A Global Community". The way it works is simple. If you browse the net using their viewbar for 5 hours per month, they pay you whether or not you have ANY affiliates. You also get paid for when your affiliates use it, and when their affiliates use it. In this way it is possible to make a fair sum of money.

Earning Money Online - Probs & Sols

While I started this blog hoping to sell my readers great ways to make money online, some people actually thing its a splog - a spam blog. I wonder why they have such weird rules that most such money making tips blogs get bad treatment at the hands of google and technorati. Not only is this damging to our earning prospects but also reduces our chances of getting a PR. Online money making is one of the hottest vistas open to a galaxy of netizens, but most of them end up trapped in a scam. Therefore, before you sign up for any such program, try a small trick which will tell you if its spam or not. Just make a Google search for that program's name followed by the word "spam". For example, a money making surfing program Surfjunky is easily known to be a scam if you make a Google search for the word Surfjunky Scam . Try it, and you will be able to figure out the scams from the genuine money making programs .
