Establishing my blog money empire

Archive for May, 2008

Facebook AdsAfter a successful journey with Adwords for several blogs, I have almost come to limits there for my target audience on the profits. I need to increase my ad budget for further profit, so decided to use Facebook Ads and published an advertisement for $0,01 per click and a daily budget of $10 for testing. It awaits for approval. After this process, I will write about the results next week. It is a highly targeted ad, so I am hopeful with the results. We will see.

Another experiment will be with SocialSpark. I have registered two blogs for testing there and will publish my opinions soon.  I can beforehand say that it is one of the most attractive designs and has the best functionality in “paid to blog” websites.

Most people think that when you get a top domain name with niche keywords inside, you will have more chance to be indexed in top search result pages of Google. It isn’t true if the niche you want to dive is overcrowded. For example, I tried to run an experiment with a domain name called as BestDealHostingWeb.com with a basic content. The result isn’t successful because there are tons of similar domain names with lots of content and are added every day. I need to put so much unique content but I can’t invest much time on it when the success is not certain. So, I then tried to get cheap traffic with Google Adwords, but because of the high keyword competition it resulted again in failure. Now, all I need to make at least $10 in a year for this website to compansate using other advertising platforms like entrecard and social network postings. $10 seems to be funny but if you continue to develop a network of let’s say hundreds of blogs and websites, even the minimum profit becomes really important.

Before buying a domain name, it is essential to make a basic niche search. According to my experience minimalism is the future for the small websites and blogs for survival. So, it is a better idea to open a website about volcanos of Mexico than simply web hosting offers because you will have easier traffic from search engines with much less content and efforts.

There are two main video sharing websites which I use to generate money. Actually, you don’t even need to create a video, just find a quality video, share and spread the free ready content. Let’s start our review with Revver.

Revver pairs videos with targeted ads and tracks them as they spread across the web. So no matter where your video travels, you benefit because they share the advertising revenue with you. What I especially like is that you are paid when the shared video starts whether it was watched until the end or not. I guess Revver makes a great amount of money because of the embedded Google adsense ads are very targeted and matched. So, making a regular money isn’t so hard if you advertise them extensively with textual targeted content.

I have opened a free blog targeting “Learn Playing Guitar with Videos” niche and happy with the impressions / video earning rates until now. The next task is to generate more textual content to increase search engine rankings for certain keywords.

Revver pays with Paypal system and minimum amount is $20.

The other embed source is Voxant : TheNewsRoom.com website. I use their targeted licensed and free video feeds for vubx.com science & tech news section. You don’t need to update anything regularly. Just prepare a video feed page and advertise it with links and SEO techniques. That’s it. The best part of this system is the availability of referral scheme.

They pay $3.50 for 1000 video impressions on your site and $1.25 on the referred website. Minimum payment amount is $50 with Paypal.

Actually Flixya and Metacafe also other two programs where you can possibly make money. But, I personally think that monetizing at those sites are rather difficult and don’t use them.
