You supposed to make money from Paid-to-promote.net

Entrecard has got quite a few high quality blogs promoting make-money-online. Today I found a site called paid-to-promote from one of the sites. It supposed to pay you by putting tracking code on your web site or blog and they will pay you from the traffic you sent to them. I signed up for an account and is testing it out. Will come back and post the results.

This is one of their secrets

When browsed through the Performing Ads market place, I realized that quite a few of the top alexa ranked blogging sites have got one little widget on them - the Entrecard. Driven by curiosity, I applied an Entrecard account for one of my blogs, and started testing out. It turned out to be a real traffic generator. On a Sunday night, the traffic to my blog more than tripled virtually overnight. The idea behind the Entrecard is sort of similar to the traffic exchange sites, you visit other member's site and drop your card there to get credit for your account. In return, other bloggers come to your site and drop their cards(thus traffic to your site). The advantage over traffic exchange sites is that you don't have to click you finger numb to get enough credits to make your site show up to others. I dropped 7 cards out, yet got 15 cards dropped in to my blog. Now I get a secret of the top bloggers.

Notes on 3 web sites worth some further look

OIOPublisher - A plug-in for your to manage your ads on auto-pilot.

Project Wonderful - A very cheap source to advertise. (as low as $0.01 per day).

Tutorialized - An article submission site of its own, another place to get some free linking and traffic.

Using Tags to Get More Traffic to Your Blog

Tags are generally ignored by site owners and bloggers in terms of potential. They're small, for one and very often easy to overlook. Furthermore, those who do not understand their use or significance or at least why and how they work may not often appreciate their value. This is unfortunate because tags can help increase the traffic coming in to your blog from blog directories. Learn what tags are and how they work so you can maximize their use.

Put simply, a tag is a small piece of identification on your blog that informs a search engine bot or spider what your site is about and how it should be indexed. If you can choose and design the right combination of tags for your blog, you will be able to manipulate the number and type of traffic that reaches your site from blog directories legally.

There are three important tags that you should focus on when designing your blog for traffic increase from blog directories. These are the title tag, the description tag and the keyword/s tag.

The title tag. The title of each blog entry you have should contain the most essential keywords that appear in your write-up or are relevant to your content. This will help optimize your entry and make it easier for search engines to find and index.

The description tag. Although description tags are ignored by some search engines, adding this to your blog can help influence how your blog (or at least its web pages) is described.

The keyword tag. The keyword tag is the word or phrase that you will repeat within the content body or web page in question. Used strategically, these keywords can help increase your blog's results in search engines and bring in more traffic to your site by allowing visitors to easily find you.

Don't be afraid to combine keywords, though. That's how you will be able to create highly targeted key phrases to optimize your blog. Three- to four-word key phrases will do. Multiple word tags are advantageous to single word searches as well. If you use a keyword phrase tag that says 'rock paper scissors', for example, your blog still has the potential to show up in case someone uses only the word 'rock' or 'paper' in his search.

Don't overdo the use of tags

If you don't watch out, tags can be addictive. It could reach a point where you might find yourself using tags that have little relevance to your blog. This usually happens when you try too hard to make sure that your blog or web page appears in more listings.

Although it may seem like a good idea to help increase traffic to your blog particularly as a means to shine in blog directories, overuse of tags can be counter-productive. Try to be careful in choosing only the kind of tags that your blog truly needs. Leaner but highly targeted tags are much more effective than generic ones.

Why everybody jumps on Performing Ads bandwagon

There are quite some buzz out there in the online marketing world, seems like every busy blog/web site is promoting a new ad network Performing Ads. I signed up today and found out some of their selling points:

1. their affiliate program is very attractive: paying $10 for each new publisher or advertiser you refer. Plus, earn 5% recurring revenue on all advertiser ad buys ... for life.

2. as a publisher you earn money or build credits that will drive free traffic to your own site. As you display exchange ads on your site, you earn credits to have your ad displayed on other sites.

3. as an advertiser you just have another reason to throw your ad dollar out...

By all means, sign up through my affiliate link please, here is the link (yet again)

Money is flowing in once you get the page rank

Today I've got my first link ad sell on the two month old page rank 3 blog (see previous post). It was included in Text Link Ad's inventory just a couple of days ago. It just shows that people still rate high on page rank when spending their ad dollar. I am taking a bit risk though, as everybody is talking about google punishing sites with paid link, but hey I have got nothing to lose and all the experiences to gain.
