Putting Affiliate Links in Youtube Videos

muratos — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:18:46 +0000

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?

Looking Closely at Trends to Find Hot Selling Products

muratos — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:31:02 +0000

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.

Motive Interactive Network & Adchap for Affiliate Revenue

muratos — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:50:25 +0000

The most common problem for novice affiliate marketers is finding enough traffic to convert the offers. The common offers which will pay you serious money for leads and sales are in topics of Credit Cards, Dating, Healthy Foods, Get Quick Rich. Unless you don’t find a free traffic resource, you can’t make money with them. In this post, I will reveal where I make profits with real examples using PPC less known.

I will briefly tell what is CPL (Cost per Lead) and CPS (Cost per Sale) marketing terms for those who are not familiar first. If you are already familiar with the terms you can skip this part and see the real example.

For example let’s explain what CPL is with an example. A dating website can offer free 3 days free trial registration to their potential customers and they advertise this offer through publishers and pay a certain amount of money for each registration to their websites, for dating websites it is typically around $3 to $5. Please be aware that most offers will pay for only US or with the addition of UK, Canada. CPL offers generally are free to register and don’t need credit cards of users.

CPS works almost the same except the visitors pay an amount of typically $1 to $3 with credit cards. For example, one of the popular offers of latest days is on Get Quick Rich with Google niche. Google Monster, Google PayDay, Super Google Rich whatever. For every trial registration you can get up to $35 Sounds good yeah? Actually, if you can drive lots of traffic, you can earn significant amount of money.

You can naturally ask why advertisers are ready to pay such money for publishers. The reason is that most people simply forget about their trial offers duration and after some days these advertisers charge their credit cards with huge amounts.

Anyway, let’s continue how we will achieve profits.

Register in Motive Interactive Advent Network. I will appreciate if you register using this link because I will get also small amount of commission from them. I think the information I give for free deserves it.
Find Dream Marriage Russian offer which will pay you $3 for each free registration. Russian dating is one of the most popular dating CPLs of all time and converts in high rates.
Then, register for Adchap and start a text advertisement for US and Canada traffic. Eventhough this offer pays for some other EU countries, these registrations will be more valuable to advertiser and they will keep advertising alive. So, both sides will make money
That’s it. After around ten conversions you will see that you have spent around $20 on average bringing you $30. If you can make 300 conversions a month, you will have $300 monthly in your pocket as a profit.
Additionally, you can try Adtoll advertisements which also works if you choose the right cheap websites to advertise.

By the way, Internet is full of bloggers who don’t earn more than a few hundred dollars and they behave like Affiliate Marketing Gurus by writing mambo-jambo copycat posts. I am not a Guru of something, just earning small amount of money (several thousands of dollars a month) from affiliate marketing and try to share real experiences with you.

If you have difficulties, contact me via commenting on this post, I will certainly help you.

Making money with Payday Loans

muratos — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:19:13 +0000

I know many bloggers who have written sponsored reviews for payday loans each day obsessively using services like sponsored reviews, payperpost, smorty, blogsvertise, linkworth etc. I believe now that my fellow Philippine bloggers know more about payday loans than many US citizens. Anyway, I was one of those writing obsessives, I didn’t know a single word at first, but gained quite knowledge after writing around at least 40 posts in multiple blogs during the year! Have your ever thought why it is so popular and advertisers are willing to pay money to spread buzz around their websites? The answer is straightforward. They make huge, really huge money because of loan commission rates. Eventhough there is competition you can still get your share on this market if you concentrate on it and show the obsession to market your payday loan affiliate website instead of writing for paid posts. Honestly, I didn’t try making money with payday loans yet because I didn’t have time but know some bloggers who are making a good extra income using it. Why not to try?

First, I will briefly explain what the payday loans in other words cash advance loans are for those who didn’t hear about them. If you know it, just skip this paragraph please and continue with the affiliate program. Payday loan is a quite popular solution to short term money needs whatever the reason can be; unpaid bills, money for repair, or even shopping. These services pay around $1000 overnight to the applicant’s bank account. Simple to apply online and get approved. Minimum income, US citizenship, bank account and being over 18 years old. That’s it. No faxes, bad credit ok, easy application fast approval. Enough saying, let’s continue explain how you can become an affiliate.

There are lots of payday loan services but I will explain why you should choose PaydayOne Payday Advance Affiliate Program. The first thing I do for every affiliate program is to check their Alexa rankings, Google Pagerank, the website design and cookie time. Alexa ratings are around 50,000. It means traffic, so potential to convert into customers. Pagerank is high at 4, so it has good backlinks. The website looks professional to trust. And finally it has a 60-day cookie life, which means that customer information is held for 60 days in their computers and if they decide to get payday loan from the website during the 60 days you get paid. Additionally, it is a trusted Payday lending service, based in the US and state licensed.

You are getting paid $25 for every new customer which completes the application, accepted and get the loan. By the nature of payday loans, you can assume that once they apply they are accepted. So, the mission is to drive targeted traffic to your blog post, banner or custom made website whatever with your affiliate link embedded inside. Commission Checks paid monthly on accounts earning a minimum of $100 commission. So, once you begin you shouldn’t give up until you reach the minimum payout.

Final words, I now registered with them and provide you some sample banners below as well with my affiliate links inside. Short term money need? Use my banners below. LOL !

Proven! Russian Dating is Still Excellent Money Maker

muratos — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:59:40 +0000

Well, I know what many people are thinking about Russian dating and bride services (mostly scams). I was thinking that way also very negatively and repeating myself “Hey! who would give money to these Russian women sites to meet even though there are many such free services? It is impossible.” So, I decided to try with my free blog Russiamania year ago and voila! My dear readers, after making 4 conversions resulting around $300 commissions in a year time (last one is around $190) , I was urged to open a special website dedicated to it. Welcome the Best Russian Dating Sites Especially many people from US and Europe are ready to pay for the legendary beauty and intelligence of Russian girls believe or not. Many people also enters first time to Internet and ready to pay money to meet people. If I would say that I am also married happily to a Russian girl already 2 years, maybe you wouldn’t believe to me, but it is another story which I plan to write later on my upcoming personal blog Muratos where I will kick start the egoistic advertising which I ignored a year mostly because of my ethical approach to monetary things and laziness

Anyway, I extensively promote Anastasia International affiliate program. They pay 30% for your referral’s purchase. Since they offer Russia tours for the members you can surprise to get a horny $200 with a single shot. I would suggest you to join them to try. Don’t disappoint if you don’t get sales even though having many many clicks. It is natural. It means that you don’t advertise much and not targeting. There are people who makes thousands of dollars only with this site deliberately advertising.

Anastasia International has also a second tier program. Each time the partner you bring them earns his commission, you rightfully get extra 10% of his earnings. This sum is not deducted from the new affiliate’s account; it is an extra.

Well, I promised to write about SocialSpark and Facebook ads before. I will be very clear and not open a separate article. Since SocialSpark rejected my Gadgetthink and EnglishTurkey.com blogs, I would never write a single sponsored reviews with them. Anyway sponsored reviews is not my main income source. I appreciate their full Web2.0 website with high quality excellent design. That’s all. !! Facebook ads are god damned so expensive. I couldn’t get a single click from my advertisements. So, I give up them for now and continue with Adwords.

Well, I will reveal my identity in two weeks with my own personal upcoming blog muratos.com to communicate with my readers clearly and cooperate, join the money making forces. Have a nice day, money hunters

All Money Eggs in One Basket

muratos — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:56:34 +0000

Actually, I was planning to write about Facebook ads and SocialSpark but happened very urgent thing (which I was suspecting though). Finally, I managed to be banned by Google Adsense program. Another Update : Currently I use my friend’s Google code to support him. Anyway, Google will pay my all pending earnings which is considerably large. Later, I will write about the mistakes (evil actions) that resulted in ban. Because I used their ads in my all blogs, I had to change them with other CPC and CPM advertisement networks and it took almost one month to update efficiently. At that time, unfortunately I couldn’t write posts on my blogs. I see that Adbrite and Chitika are the best alternatives to Google Adsense, even performing better for some blogs. I can’t suggest Bidvertiser much because it didn’t convert well for me and I have given up with them.

What I would like to tell is that Google Adsense ban didn’t affect me terribly because I didn’t put all the eggs in one basket. Since I have depended heavily on Amazon, RocketProfit, CJ and other money program affiliates my income didn’t drop drastically. Now, I have more motivation and can write more freely on my blogs without fear.

Do not forget that Google isn’t the only way to make money online. I will tell you how you can make money which is a little bit far concept to many bloggers. That’s Russian Dating Affiliate programs and I will tell about more after my next post about Facebook ads and SocialSpark.

John Chow was right always repeating the phrase. DO NOT PUT ALL EGGS IN ONE BASKET because you can someday get the deadly email from the big boss ! Internet evolves every day and is full of opportunities for the people desperately seeking them.

CPL Ads on RocketProfit Affiliate Network

muratos — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:06:07 +0000

I was very busy this week making design changes, new ads conversion tests on my blogs, testing new money making opportunities and writing some Facebook applications. Because of this, I couldn’t post anything new for a week. Shame on me! I will try to post more often.

Anyway, I will recommend you to join RocketProfit affiliate network; especially for those who failed on affiliate marketing up to now with no sales or very little amount of sales. I know many Commission Junction, Amazon affiliates who are in this situation actually.

The main advantage of RocketProfit is that you don’t have to sell anything with the 90% of the programs there. To be specific, CPL (Cost Per Lead) type ads. All you need is to get reasonable US (In some cases UK, Europe or Worldwide) traffic for completion of profiles, email captures, cell submit, free trial program downloads, registrations. It is much easier to convert there. To be specific, with some programs you can make $4 with a completed profile, or $1 for just an email. Minimum payouts are $25 . It is easy to reach that, you should think much more here.

The other most important point is about incentives. Most offers ‘CANNOT be incentivized’, but there are still ‘CAN BE incentivized’ opportunities. DO NOT miss them.

At RocketProfit, each affiliate has a manager assigned to them. So, you can ask recommendations, share your thoughts. That’s a really advantage to be in contact with them through AIM. It gives confidence and more passion to generate more income.

There are tons of campaign offers from reputable companies including ‘exclusive’ ones which are expected to perform very well.

The design of the site, offers tracking, real time report pages are excellent, in brief.

If you are looking for an affiliate network which will bring you good money, I recommend RocketProfit network. If you join with my RocketProfit link I will be happy. Write a comment to this post and I will help you making money using RocketProfit.

Affiliate Hint #1: If you have a network of sites and blogs, do not separate your forces on different ads at the same time. Choose one and pump it everywhere possible to see the results on high volume. If you succeed then continue to attack with it; if you don’t, change it with another.

Affiliate Hint #2: Do not run many networks at the same time hoping that you will get checks from all of them someday. No, you will end up with a good sum of money residing in many places in small amounts without checks. I suffered it about also before.

I will share my experience on evil ways of money making with viral Facebook applications on the next post.

Make (Some) Money From Your Content Thief

muratos — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 10:29:02 +0000

We all know about content scraper sites. You write an article by giving your energy, time and thinking.. And see that someone exactly copies it and runs a website thinking to fool you and earn money. I have recently met a website (I will not give its name for now, it is also in Entrecard system and thinks that I wouldn’t notice it) copying all the content from my gadget website in some intervals:

What he has forgotten is to change or delete my affiliate links. I have many Amazon links in my articles and this scraper website helps to market the products to my advantage. On the other way, he gives my SEO harm because search engines will punish the duplicate content. I will wait some time to reveal that website to EC community and my readers. Dear thief, Further, I will take the necessary steps. You are warned!
