Detect Money

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.

I was lately seeing everywhere these words. Link bait. Now, I understand how exactly it works after seeing live examples and will provide you one of the most effective ones. Bait means to throw little worms to the sea to grab the fishes. In MMO world, it is the process of writing a spectacular controversial article to grab attention of other bloggers and dynamically spread your link through discussions and trackbacks. Cool yeah? Here is what I believe a link bait. Since I am writing on it as well, it is successful.

Seth Godin suggested to click ads to show your appreciation for the blog owner if the content that you read was good. It has fallen to the SEO and MMO community like a bomb and most people including A bloggers blamed him supporting click fraud and have given links to his blog and have driven traffic. Jackpot. Seo and Traffic ! Since, you have understood basically how the linkbait works, I will do my part and eat the worm by writing my opinions about the topic naturally.

First let’s look how the market in general works. We have three players. Publisher, Advertiser and Customer. The ideal is Win – Win – Win and it can be only provided in natural sequence. Customer sees a relevant ad, buys the product on the target and becomes happy. Advertiser sells, happy and finally we publishers get our commission, happy.

Suppose a situation that a small budget advertiser spends $5,000 for marketing a specific product with the expectation of 20% profits. So, he expects to earn $1000 but assume that these fraud and suggested tip clicks get from the budget $1500 with no sales. The result is a loss and most probably this advertiser will not turn to the system with this product, so publisher will not get his future opportunity cost commissions. Loss – Loss – Neutral what we have in the model in the long ru .

Seth has also a right part stating that “I never click on ads people” are wrong. I do agree with him. If you believe that you will benefit from the advertisement do click but not for the only solely purpose tipping the blog owner.

I will give a real example. Since I use statcounter.com’s free service for all my websites, should I click on their ads time to time to support because I think as much as they earn money, their service will continue nicely and I will benefit? Do you feel what’s wrong here in those ideas?

You can also benefit linkbaiting and get your part by linking to these posts including mine for sure Then someone else does it for you until it reaches to a point in the ground of the pyramid scheme. Faster you join better you get the benefit.

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.
