affiliate marketing using Google adword
May 20th
I registered in Clickbank, CJ, and copaec and started using google adword services a few years ago. I got my initial sales in the start of the campaign itself. It was real fun monitoring the ads, finding out the customer habits, knowing which type of ads or word phrase is the most attractive to users etc etc. For me, it was more to fun and experimentation than to real earning strategy. I tried in many keywords. The first sale I got was an ebook related to ********. You will find such stars in all the reviews of any adword marketer, because information is money/ power and sharing it brings you competitors which may knock you out of that niche. But as my motive of writing this post is sharing of information, I won’t hide the fact that the stars ** are nothing but “skincare”. After experimenting on few other keywords of my interest, i stopped using it as I could not devote my time in it(college life), I didn’t have credit card to continuously recharge the adword voucher, and lastly my hand started paining a lot -mainly because of excessive computer usage in bad position (mostly for using it by lying in the bed most of the time). I have already read some dozens of related ebooks by that time and I knew that I could convert those experimentation into real business. If I get some spare time, may be I would start going for it again.
How To Transfer A Blog From One Account To Another, blogspot, wordpress etc
Dec 24th
This works, it’s tested simple and easy. You all can see in the settings of blogger that You always have at least one administrator. You can’t short this procedure. You will, of course, have to have both accounts active for some time. Don’t start this if you’ve lost the account name, or forgotten the password, on one of the accounts. But Plan this process with some care.
1. From Settings – Permissions, add a second account, as a blog member.
2. Starting with the email received by the second account, accept membership. Setup a new Google account, if necessary.
3. From Settings – Permissions again, make the new member an administrator.
4. From Settings – Permissions under the new administrator account, remove the old account.
>> (Note): If you’re doing this in preparation to switching your Blogger, GMail, or other email account, do not discontinue the current account until you have executed, and tested, step 3.
Remember, though, that you can only login to one Google account at a time. If you have other abilities setup on the current Google account, you’ll be constantly logging off and onto each account, as you switch back and forth.
If you’re just adding an administrator, not transferring ownership, just leave off step 4.
One major New Blogger shortcoming out of the way.
New page rank updates for google
Jan 12th
New pagerank has been updated. Some of my sites has decreased the pageranks. Some of them have even gone down to zero. Those of my sites which have gone down to zero are kritidas.blogspot.com, filmsreviews.blogspot.com, etc. The main reason it went down seems to be the lack of new posts after last update. Well, I didn’t write almost anything in those blogs after last PR update. I didn’t get much time to see on them. The pagerank for clinicalitcongress went down from 4 to 3. The PR of thewritewebsite went down to zero. the main reason for this may be the presence of non genuine posts. Dealsinsured.com remains in 4 as it is. My thokchom.com (this site remains at 2). rockcrawlertoys.org still retains 2. I bought a new website called http://www.brainteasersoffers.com for my friend. It was of PR 5 yesterday but unluckily it turns out to be zero. Had I bought the site today, then I could have avoided the PR problem. But still, the domain name looks very attractive and good. Another very interesting thing is that one of my blogspot site called http://blogger-404-page-not-found.blogspot.com/ which contains only 5 very short posts got PR 2. Well, thats a miracle.
Proxy sites
Dec 28th
After a good amount of time wasted, I have got a masterpiece in proxy world- newproxylists.com with the help of my close friend Ningsuhen. In fact he is the one who made the whole theme. Well this new site has many good features that would attract a lot of users worldwide. My newproxylists has a lot of proxy sites which are updated daily. You can use them in any type of proxy setting. You can access Orkut, facebook, myspace etc through this list of proxies given in my site. You will have more than 30 sites(for the time being) that can access orkut, myspace or facebook directly from my site. The number of sites are increasing daily due to the addition by the users, webmasters and most importantly me myself. My site can also give your IP address of your computer at any time. Don’t forget to visit my site and see for yourself.
update from march 2009: Well because of my college schedule and other things, I am unable to update the sites as regularly as expected. I have almost left maintaining them. You can still get new proxies in ningsuhen’s proxywiky.com
Earning from google adsense
Dec 15th
The days of earning through blogging are coming towards an end. The competition is huge now. Moreover it is boring to write reviews of other websites all the time. So, I was thinking of finding other ways to earn from internet. I suppose my next target is from google adsense. In order to earn from google adsense, you would need a good traffic first. Well I have tried many a times to achieve that. Having traffic is the most difficult part. None would want to linger in your blog or site unless you have a good content. All this time I had been thinking a way to get good traffic. Now I am trying my first shot on gaining traffic through proxy sites. I am figuring to get a site which would give the list of new and fresh proxy sites.
New Proxy site | orkut proxy site
Nov 22nd
It has been some days since I last posted. Well I was having my end semester exam. I could not have enough time to post anything particularly. It is not because of me having little time but the fact that I have no new news and story or whatever it is to write. Who wants to read post on any exam fever by the way. Well, exam is over by now and I have bought a new site called proxylistserver.com. It is a site which give you the list of proxy sites so that you don’t need to search in search engines everytime you want to use proxy site. I have given there a long list of proxy. The proxy sites in the list are periodically updated. You may find it useful particularly if you are in a college or something like that where you are forbidden to use myspace or orkut or other social networks etc. Most of the college authorities in the case of our college block any new orkut proxy and myspace proxy. So the proxy which worked yesterday doesn’t work today. Here, my list of orkut proxy gives a wide variety of orkut proxy sites to choose from which is very beneficial for many of us.
What to do next
Oct 26th
6 main sites which offer money for paid reviews are:
Blogsvertise.com
Sponsoredreviews.com
payperpost.com
reviewme.com
payu2blog.com
blogtoprofit.com
smorty.com
(There are other sites which offer same services but they have very less advertisers and so very less reviews.) You need to submit your blog(s) to these sites. Blogsvertise and reviewme accept blogs quickly and readily if you meet their minimum requirement. Payperpost needs 3 months of domain history for you to submit. Similarly other sites also have their own criteria for acceptance and review submission. I suggest you to read the TOS for each of them carefully. And also don’t forget to open a paypal account first for money transaction.
Getting ready
Oct 22nd
By one months, the site must have more than
200 backlinks,
20 posts,
20 indexed pages in google.
These are the minimum requirement. Submit your sites to directories. There are many directories. Some of them are Dmoz, del.icio.us yahoo directory etc.
Now you are ready for submission to sites which offer money for paid reviews.
How and what to post
Oct 12th
A minimum of 20 posts is reqiured in the first month of blogging. It is advisable for you to post them regularly instead of posting a lot i a single day. The post that you write should be unique and it should not be a copy from any sources that is available in the internet. It is neccessary for the search engines( mainly google) to recognise your post. You can see if your posts has been indexed or not by google by opening google.com, and write “site:http://your-site-name.com” in the search option. The number of results that come up is the number of your posts that had been indexed. The higher the number, the better it is. Let google index at least 20 of your posts before you start earning through blogging.
Exchange links with other people through forums. All webmaster forums have Link exchange categories. Exchange a minimum of 20 links with other good PR sites.
Hosting a site/blog
Oct 11th
The next step that you should do after registering a domain name is to host it in a hosting site. There are many hosting sites available which offer both free account and premium account. But so far I have used only a few of them. I used the free account of byethost.com when I first started to have websites. Even though I have used a premium account in other varied websites, the best free account hosting site seems to me to be byethost.com still. Unlike many other free hosting sites, it doesn’t post any advertisement for themselves in your site. That is really a good feature. But hosting in a free hosting site suffers some common problems of server down a bit often. To prevent that you need to have a regular back-up of the database by downloading them regularly. And if you have a very good website which is visited y many people, and contains important critical topics, or use a viral marketing strategy, you need to host your website in other big hosting sites. I suggest you to use kiosk.ws to prevent crash free from huge traffic. But it is a bit costly for normal websites and blogs.
