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?

Warning – Google PageRank Algorithm Changed Again !

muratos — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:51:53 +0000

Well, this post will be a shock for master Google PageRank sculptors who want to idealize everything in their blogs in the eyes of Google spiders. After carefully reading Matt Cutts (Google’s official PageRank knight) about his PageRank sculpting article, I have understood that even Google has no final clear answer about this all times hot topic. I will briefly try to tell you about latest changes and important excerpts from Matt Cutts’ comments to the questions.

Matt says that the classical PageRank papers and discussions which you can find and read on Internet freely are too old algorithms and don’t show the complication of current real Google calculations.
These include :Sergey Brin PageRank Paper of Stanford , Google PageRank Matrix
Classical Idealized Understanding of PageRank :Please, notice that it is the old PageRank algorithm. The fact that Google once was working on this principle some years ago.According to following chart, all outgoing links are counted as equal including paid links. So, if a page has a value of 100 like on the top-left with 2 outgoing links, all would get equal value as 50.
Decay Factor : It is invented by Google owners to prevent making people constructing link chains. Imagine you have 10 pages on different 10 blogs, one for each and you put links like a chain and finally putting a link from the last item from the chain to the first. It would end up with an infinite PageRank increase. (See chart below).To prevent this, in every step link loses 10 – 15% of its value in the chain and decays in several steps.So, we can conclude that you should avoid such link chains.
Old NoFollow Algorithm : It was the latest understanding of NoFollow and PageRank before Matt Cutts’ explanation on new algorithm two days ago. Google’s aim was to prevent people buying links to increase Page Rank artificially and keeping search engine results clean from spam and affiliate links. According to this, bloggers were encouraged to use rel=nofollow tag in links where they link to an affiliate website or paid link to not to pass PR value.For example,You have a page with PR value of 100 and you link to 10 other pages. 5 of them are nofollowed. According to this algorithm, you would share 100 points amongst remaining 5 links. So, it is exactly 20 points for each followed. Nofollowed links don’t get any points. So, it was logical to nofollow all unimportant links. So, even if you had a page with 100 nofollow links, you did not lose any points to remaining ones. Please note that we didn’t include decay factor here because the exact details are unknown to the public.
Brand new Google PageRank Algorithm : Here comes Matts’ shocking explanation.Let’s take the same example. A page with PR value of 100, 10 total links, 5 of them are nofollowed. As usual 5 nofollowed links don’t get any points. But, you lose these nofollowed points and remaining points are divided amongst following links. So, say bye bye to 50 points at first hand. Then remaining links get each 10 points. It means that, if you have a page with lots of links whether they are nofollowed or not, you lose!
The direct implication of this behaviour that a page with less links are better. We can naturally ask this. Should I close the comments at all because they will eat my rankings? There is no clear answer from Matt yet about it. I will inform you about incoming feedbacks from him.
Using NoFollow on Privacy Policy, About Us pages etc : Matt clearly says in comments that we should not use nofollow on any of internal pages including these. Shock answer to many SEO fans.
Using NoFollow on Amazon Affiliate links : I didn’t answer still a clear answer on this eventhough, there are much questions. We will keep on asking I actually apply half of these links with nofollow to keep looking them natural.
Using NoFollow on Paid Links : Yeah, it continues to be valid. NoFollow your paid links and even better do not lose time and energy to write sponsored reviews at all. Developing a really SEO powered niche website is better in the long run like Best iPhone Cases
Using NoFollow on Feeds : Matt suggests using nofollow on feeds because it is another environment and doesn’t affect how your feeds will be found. He does for its own blog like this.
And let’s finish my article with a funny linkbaiting video from SeoFastStart about latest shiny PR changes : Here is Google Operation Bendover Have a nice profitable make money online and affiliate marketing day !

muratos — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:35:22 +0000

I would like to inform you one of the most original ideas resulting in great success which I have seen in blogging world lately. Bloghology, the first printed and digital magazine aiming especially blogging industry. Actually, the man behind the idea is my friend Mert from searchforblogging.com and had started bloghology as a blogging magazine in adobe pdf format where he had introduced bloggers and interviewed them almost a year ago. The quality brought more bloggers interested in project and the more bloggers helped him to re-establish bloghology in a more serious commercial level with several partners. Now, it was introduced in a well respected blogging expo and will reach to more than 40.000 readers as a printed copy. Actually, you can read it online as well for free at Bloghology Digital but I suggest to subscribe to printed magazine. The quality is high, articles are useful and reading the world’s first and only blogging magazine in a printed form gives the reader a better taste and experience.

So, what is the content in bloghology?

The main topic is make money online of course, as well as SEO tips, real success stories of other bloggers which can be used as a model for us, traffic building tips, and surely the most powerful side of the magazine, interviews with the blogging leader. For example, the first edition featured Yaro Starak in an exclusive interview. The magazine has its own writer (blogger) base from many countries and aim to provide useful content.

p.s : I have learned that bloghology reached also a thousands of visitors at the leading IT and Technology expo of Turkey and Europe, Cebit Bilisim Eurasia

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 !

Cash For Your Blog: Earn Easy £10 instantly and £5 monthly

muratos — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:43:01 +0000

Important Update 17.08.2008 :

I think they don’t accept new bloggers more to the system because all the ads slots are full. Thanks for everyone who joined. You can try other opportunities listed on my blog for extra income while I discover new ones

Freebies4Webmasters is an easy income advertising network which uses direct link placement method which will pay you £5 monthly by PayPal for placing their high quality 468×60 text links on the bottom of your selected 3 pages.

I have been just accepted with my Gadget blog and replaced the codes in the bottom of these 3 pages. You can see these high quality ads on these pages.

You will receive your free £10 payment when your first banner goes live on these three pages of your website or blog. After that you will receive monthly £5 payments to your PayPal account if they are still there. Another £5 bonus is available if you implement the ads within 72 hours after approval to the program.

As you know, a referral program is a good encouragement for making more money. If you bring another blogger to the network which implements the codes you get £10. There are no limits on how many bloggers you can refer and how many websites you can add for advertisements.

And my final opinion. Actually, I was hesitant to join at first but after seeing that the ads are from a respected UK website I was persuaded that it is not a scam. Freebies4Webmasters uses an effective selected advertisement tactics for the advertiser because each application is approved by editors. Try to choose your best pages with content when you submit your application. I was approved after 2 days of application. If you have any questions please comment on this article. I will try to help you.

Last update to topic : Today 03.08.2008, they paid my first £10 to paypal. So, actually you will need to wait almost a week. Anyway, free money is nice any rejections?

Another hot update: One of my blog visitors asked me payment proof. So I have added here as well. Check please below

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

Motive Interactive Network & Adchap for Affiliate Revenue

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.

Great Advertisement Opportunity for Bloggers

muratos — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 09:27:14 +0000

I would like to write about the successful blogger project called as Bloghology by Mert Erkal, which has grabbed my attention lately. Actually, it has been around more than a year, but I was late to discover it. Briefly, it is a more sophisticated way of advertising and marketing with pdf files. You know that John Chow had also started his huge money making business using a similar technique. The difference is that a bloghology is a collection of bloggers, their profiles, photos, and the most importantly links to their best posts. March 2008 edition has been already downloaded more than 2000 times in almost 2 weeks. I had time to investigate the content and found it very high quality and useful to discover new opportunities and to learn bloggers’ favorite posts that they try to promote. It is an open project and you can participate just by signing up at www.bloghology.org for the next edition. You can reach thousands of people to promote yourself and your blog. Don’t forget that the unique content is always king but you should support the king with advertising, networking and marketing for the real success. Bloghology is the right, successful application of this thumb rule.

My Entrecard Experience with 3 Blogs

muratos — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 13:00:52 +0000

Even though, I am a new make money online niche blogger, I am not totally a stranger to blogging world and have several blogs running about different niches for some months.

Some of them are Vubx.com, GadgetThink.com and EnglishTurkey.com

As you would guess, I have already registered them with Entrecard website. If you don’t know what Entrecard system is and how it can bring traffic to you, read the resources at the bottom of this post later.

First; Negatives about Entrecard

You have to register every blog separately using a different email login. Even with my 3 blogs, it is time consuming to manage them. Can you imagine the process let’s say with 10 blogs everyday? You have to login and logout continuously. Hopefully, Entrecard will implement a one-login management system.
Actually, the system is open to abuse. Anyone can easily produce a spam blog farm here and drop cards mutually in this spam blog network. It will bring enormous amount of credits. Then, the abuser can send accumulated credits to a chosen blog and advertise on larger blogs for big credits.
I can’t imagine the system with thousands of blogs. We have almost 290 blogs on Make Money Online category. Actually there are other make money online niche blogs, but they are registered in related categories like Marketing, Finance or even Technology. I see some of the blogs change categories to go to top of the category (So the main campaign page of Entrecard) like Tyler Cruz changed to Blogging Resources! Maybe, I should take DetectMoney.com to Science category because there are a few blogs there. The science of establishing an evil money empire!

Positives:

Entrecard advertising really brings good amount of traffic. See the screenshots below for 2 of my websites.Vubx.com Stats

EnglishTurkey.com Stats
I have achieved to get blogger referrals for Sponsored Reviews just even having a post in my blog. They came from Entrecard organically. Do not forget that other bloggers are also your clients and partners as well and you shouldn’t concentrate only on widget traffic. DetectMoney.com Stats
You can advertise on very famous blogs if you have good content and/or much Entrecard credits. It is the fastest way to jump on the money wagon for the small blogs.
Entrecard credits have value; you can sell or spend on the campaigns.
You can communicate with other bloggers and can create mutualist relations

Future:

Some people say that it will end up like Blog Rush or Agloco, but I do not agree with these thoughts. Entrecard will continue to grow and the not qualified blogs will eliminate from the system naturally. I even expect that Entrecard will bring new rules if we grow to let’s say 1000 blogs in Make Money Online category.

Hint:

Track the new Entrecard bloggers and advertise on their widgets for very cheap. Just because they are hungry for points or don’t know the system much, they are tend to accept most requests until they learn. Sometimes you can get exposure even good trafficked blogs.
