Make Money Online Giving Away Information

Make Money Online Giving Away Information that you have knowledge of. Let’s face it, information sells and people will pay good money for it. All you have to do is take a subject you know a lot about, write a ebook or website and start making money. Of course you can do it old school and simply sell access to your website or e-book, but giving away the information can make you a lot of money as well.
I know, your asking yourself how can giving something away make me money? Well the answer is simple. Say for example you create a eBook that you want to profit from. Instead of just making a page selling the book, create a page promoting your eBook for FREE. To make money, you just charge $6.00 shipping and handling. When a surfer thinks something is FREE they usually don’t mind paying for the shipping and handling. If you charge $6.00 shipping and handling, your going to profit about $4.50 per eBook you give away.

A blank cd cost around 12 cents
Small bubble mailer to mail the CD-ROM is around 30 cents.
Shipping in the USA for a CD will cost around 80 cents.

So your total cost is going to be around $1.25, if you charge $6.00 SH your going to profit $4.75 per eBook CD-ROM you give away. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you can give away 10 copies a day, that’s almost $350 a week profit in your pocket. It all boils down to marketing. You can give  your eBook away and make almost $5 per copy you give away, or you can charge $19.95 for it. Your going to see fast people will take your product a lot faster if it is free. Make Money Online easy by giving this a try.
Of course this works different for everybody, and you will need to do your own testing to see what works best, but believe me, when a surfer thinks they are getting good info from a eBook for free, they are going to pay the $6.00 SH a whole lot faster than the $19.95 – so in the long run your going to make a lot more money by giving away information with a shipping & handling charge. Make Money Online by giving away information, or make money online charging for it. Test which method works best, what converts best and you will make money online better than you ever have before!

Google Penguin Update – Get your traffic and SERP Ranks BACK

Google Penguin Update – Get your traffic and SERP Ranks BACK

If you were like many and hit hard by the Google Penguin update, here are a few tips and tricks on how to get your traffic back, getting your SERP back and getting your website or black back to nornal!

•Links that Come from PR-n/a or PR0 sites. REALLY – ARE YOU SURE?
Fist off the bat, if you discount all those links which are on PR N/A or PR0 pages, you will be discriminating against around 90% of the pages on the Internet! I’m sorry, but just because a page is currently PR0 or PR N/A doesn’t mean its toxic or bad IN ANY WAY and when has anyone from Google ever said it was? In fact this is not the first time a so called authority has suggested such links are bad and this has been a common misconception which I’ve seen espoused in pretty much every major article on this subject in the last year.

Moreover this is probably the quickest way to build a list of FALSE POSITIVES which will have a negative value and end up causing even more anguish, confusion and harm to a domains ranks if you used this as a signal in your LINK AUDIT and subsequent link removal campaign.

AND THE REASON? It could simply be a newly found page (within the last 4 months) and hence has not yet been updated as part of Googles Pagerank updates (which take place roughly 4 times per year), or it may just be a page on a large site which doesn’t have enough Pagerank (Juice) to pass around all of its wonderful pages and thus is unable to send them pages into the so called SAFE ZONE of a PR1 or above…

This is one of them myths that seriously needs to be put to bed and I welcome the day when someone asks one of the vocalists at Google for clarification or advice on this much lauded white elephant in the room. If you’ve been sold on this as a method to locate your bad links you will have wasted all following efforts in getting them links removed and no doubt done yourself a disservice in the process.
And what about all the other RED flags raised by the so called experts?

•Links that are site wide
This is undoubtedly true and the only question left is to how to most effectively find such links from the data you have. These links are normally located in the side bar (blog roll) or footer of bunk domains often along side a bunch of other similarly smelly links all with clear money term anchor texts.
•Links which come from very new domains. REALLY – HERE WE GO AGAIN – MORE BOLOGNESE!

New domains typically have no Pagerank or Juice value and since new domains are sandboxed (Googles penalty on new domains which have not yet earned trust), Google sandbox outbound links (on new domains) in the same manor, hence if anyone tries to manipulate the SERPS with such techniques they fail. This is not a widespread problem that Google are still grappling with and hence singling out the new domains where one has a link from is just going to add more white noise to any data you end up with.

•Links which come from domains with little traffic.
This just shows a complete misunderstanding of firstly the nature of the Internet and secondly the problems that Google are grappling with. If Google was to use such a metric or signal for improving the SERPs they would end up with so much false data that they would be totally lost and have no idea what was an authority or why. Most articles have a spike of traffic when first published then that traffic dwindles down as it is buried away. When you build a module into an algorithm you want data which means something significant, not something that will result in pure white noise. There has NEVER been anything said or even suggested by Google that they use such a signal to lower ranks and in all my years in SEARCH I’ve never seen any evidence that such a concept is being used to qualify the value of links! Despite the beliefs to the contrary.
You can put this one into the quack box along with another similar signal I’ve seen used to mark links as suspicious, one called Low Link Velocity, which is apparently when a domain or page is no longer attracting backlinks as quickly as it once did and hence is therefore likely to be a domain which has been sold to a link spammer and is now being used as a link farm. This again could never be used as a signal by Google to qualify links as many domains and pages attract a natural spike of back links when they are first published and interest generally diminishes as time goes by. That’s pretty normal and certainly not a signal which could be relied upon to qualify a link!

•Links which come from sites with identical C class. FACT OR FICTION?
In general there is some truth to this one, however, its not a simple case of black and white though it’s certainly a useful signal for Google to see whats connected during a manual inspection, certainly also once they have smelt a rat but it is most likely treated as a SOFT signal in the SERPs. They would most likely limit the Juice being passed from one IP to another and these links should most certainly be avoided as it would help them find networks. That said theres another problem which I’ve seen here, I have seen historical data being used in some link audit reports whereby the hosting was changed years ago and the IP data being supplied is historic and hence misleading. Its a good signal ONLY if the data is reliable and fresh!

•Links from pages with a big number of external links. ANOTHER FALSE ASSUMPTION?
While I’d tend to agree that if a page has lots of outbound links its most likely of low value, though in some instances there are pages that do contain value and have lots of outbound links. Typically where all the links are natural and relevant to each other and where the anchors were not money terms you could be safe to assume the page was worthy. So crudely treating all pages as bad based on the numbers of outbound links alone would undoubtedly raise false positives and there is no evidence to suggest Google is that crude.
So where does that leave us? Pretty much in a mess based on some of these very unsound signals. Raising flags which are unsafe results in huge amounts of ‘possibly’ suspicious links which then have to be reviewed again manually which totally defeats the whole purpose of having a link audit in the first place!

Of course, as always it takes some work. So for you newbies here is a good jump start for what you need to do.

Step #1 - You need a place to host your blogs.

Step #2 - You need a advertising network

Everybody knows Google Adsense is the king of online advertising and is a must for any website owner or blog. My motto is, why stop there. I use both Google and Chitika as another source of revenue. Over all Chitka has been highly profitable and on most keywords, I earn more per click than I do with Adsense. I suggest you try both and see what works for you the best. With Chikita you get approved almost instantly, with Google Adsense, it can take some time before you get approved.

Step #3 - You will need sponsor

Whatever the niche or category your blog is about, choose a sponsor that offers the same product-information you do. For instance, if you had a blog about cooking, choose a sponsor that would sell cooking supplies, recipes, etc. If your blog was about cars, choose a sponsor that offered car parts, manuals etc
You can find these sponsors online buy just goggling for them (I will be adding a huge list of sponsors in the days to come)  Now, two sponsors I use that will fit in with just about any blog niche you have is A online dating program sponsor With this program, you can earn money 3 ways. Pay Per E-mail, when a person just enters their e-mail, you get $2.00, Pay Per Signup when a person joins the dating site, you earn a flat $50 or Revshare, where you earn 50% of all money spent for the entire time they are a member of the site. Click here and setup your account instantly start making money. The next program offers a ton of products you can link to and earn $35-$300 per sale, and you get paid weekly. No HOLDS. They sell product designed for men such as the popular male enhancement products, muscle and weight loss products etc. This program makes me $100-150 a week every week with only a few links added to my blogs. Click here for more info on this program.

Step #4 - Choose what you want to write about.

Okay you have your blog hosting, ad network and sponsors, now get to work on blog post! You need to chose a topic that you want to write about carefully. You need to choose a topic to write about that you can create at a minimum 1-2 blog post a week. For my blogs, I update them all once a day to keep fresh and keep new visitors coming. Search engines love fresh blog posts.

Step #5 - You need to promote your blog.

Submit your blog to Google, Bing, Yahoo, Dmoz anywhere you can. Any search engine that allows submissions make sure you submit. Find blogs that are similar to yours and ask the owner and trade links. Getting your blog link everywhere you can, will only get you more hits that will make you more money. Find message boards and forums that are related to your page and post there, network and social media is key. Make a Twitter, Facebook page any other social media you can.
