Detect Money

I know that the title is a bit strange but it is true that you can get high quality .edu backlinks to rank in SERPs incredibly high for certain keywords like reputed sites including Gizmodo. I should emphasize that it is not an automated or just press the button solution and needs a combination of high quality article plus social efforts.

I have written in HubPages a long useful article with sample screenshots from a certain Gizmodo page, .edu link and related Google SERP success. Read this, you will not be sorry later

I knew about HubPages for a long time but couldn’t find time and an action plan to use this high quality article sharing network where you can put your ads (Yeah, we get 60% of all page impressions, thus revenue generating) and more importantly free quality backlinks. The advantage of HubPages is that search engines trust the pages and give high rankings. Since I compete on many technology related keywords it was essential for me to get backlinks.

So, it is the day to start a 50 articles product campaign on several technology items. I plant to write two hubs each day. I will reveal my traffic and revenue (Amazon sales) at the end of this month for the experiment (It doesn’t include Google Adsense for sure, because it is against their rules). Anyway, here is my first hub : Best iPhone Cases of 2009 and possibly 2010

By the way, HubPages network has a very effective affiliate program as well where you can earn affiliate revenue in 2 ways.

1. You get referral’s 10% of all lifetime impressions on their hubs.
2. This one is interesting. Even if you don’t write anything, you can put your affiliate links in settings. Then, if you give a link to another person’s hub, you can get up to 12% of their traffic impression revenue after someone clicks on the link you put for 120 minutes. A quite effective way of earning money promoting other people as well.

I have discovered two free tools to achieve this. First one is LinkedTube to put any affiliate link of your choice to embedded youtube videos. Actually, Google Adsense is already there for most publishers, but it is quite different. We have all the control what will be shown on the surface of youtube videos. If you are a video blogger or using videos heavily in content, why not to try this affiliate link embedding tool and see the results yourself.

The code has a tiny bug that it includes the same object code twice. Anway, I think you can clean it using HTML editor in your wordpress easily. By the time I write this, they will most probably fix this issue.

The second one is BubbleFly. It is a free affiliate code embedding widget again but it seems to be rather old and didn’t work for me.

I couldn’t find any other free websites especially designed achiving this task. Let me know if you know more?

I would like to give you a real keyword example how you could use Google Insights for Search and Google Trends to predict your further income resources.

This is especially important in Affiliate Marketing. You can target your Adwords ads and blog posts according to data from these sources.

I have made several searches for “invisible shield” keyword (A popular skin for electronic devices, especially best selling for iPhone) in Google Insights :

The first image shows the results from 2004 to present. Notice the big jump in 2008 when Zagg revealed Invisible Shield model for iPhone 3G. It was an obvious thing actually. The affiliates who were ready to promote new product earned lots of money. A basic scenario could be creating a mail list about iPhone 3G and sending emails to them reminding about the new skin release. Most would buy with closed eyes.

I was thinking that most searches would come from US. To my surprise, Hong Kong and Singapore was at the top. Since I don’t know their languages I don’t think I can get a benefit from this fact except empty information

And, look at the following graph of Top Searched and Rising Searches. You can target these top searched keywords in your blog review posts. All Rising Searches sections were a breakout for this keyword during this period.

Now, let’s look a bit closer for 2009 and US.

We have discovered the most active cities for this search. You could start a local blog targeting the top cities.

And what about the hot breakout keywords of 2009 worldwide and US

First, worldwide to take advantage of our Adsense ads on blog pages

Voowww, did you notice the +4950% breakout for “invisible shield 5800″? If you will look closely to this keyword you will notice that unusually Spain has dominated the ranks. So, what about making a fast one page Spanish affiliate site and grab the searches for Adwords campaign. You should further check in Google Adwords how many searches are being made for this keywords in Spain. I checked that it is mostly US for other keywords.

And finally, for US to sell them as an affiliate

The top keyword is “zagg discount code”. Zagg is the manufacturer company for this product.

If you join this data with the Google Adwords keywords to find the number of estimated searches for a month and Google Search Results to find competition, you will have most accurate predictions on what topic to invest your time and energy. Please note that it is just a very fast keyword trends hunting review. You should check more comprehensively than this.

Thanks to SeoBook Keyword Trends blog post for inspiration.

I hope it helped to my readers.

John Chow has a hot blog review contest with the prize of $,4000 cash where you can join until this Friday. It is very easy to join. You should review a high quality online radio station website (onlineradiostations.com) by registering there for free and tell your favorite station and music type in your review. A linkback is required to John Chow radio contest to have a seat in drawing.

There are thousands of channels at www.onlineradiostations.com in musical genre categories and countries. Since I enjoy progressive rock and metal genres, after a fast registration checked some of the stations. There were 5 progressive rock stations which played flawlessly. But still, it would be much better to see what currently plays on the screen and a link to Amazon mp3 store to download the song instantly. That way, onlineradiostations.com actually would make more money as well

Be fast to join the contest and have the luck be with you.
