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

Best Way to Get .edu Backlinks

1. 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
   

2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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
9. 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.
10. 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 !

Do you think that Google Adwords is the toy of solely the big masters? You are seriously mistaken. You can appear higher in results for less price if you learn how to get more CTR.

Perry Marshall teaches the best techniques with real samples.

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.

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.

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.

I will tell you about an efficient way of making money using a joint force of Google Adwords and Google Adsense on international traffic. As you know, Adwords system allows you to direct your advertisement traffic to your own Adsense powered sites. This is legal for Google, even they encourage about it. I will explain the process step by step:

1)  Have an English technology, science related website, full of Adsense advertisements with good content. Your Adsense boxes should be upper of your content and right of it.

2) Find the common technology, science related 500 keywords on other languages. In my example, it would be Turkish. You will see that Google Adwords market isn’t very competitive for many countries and languages as well as Turkey.

3) Prepare a good advertisement in Turkish targeting these keywords.

• Choose your ads target location as Turkey
• Choose your target language as Turkish
• Choose only show ads in content network option for 0.01 TL (Turkish Lira)

4) Run the advertisement and check the results after a month.

The common ROI (Return on Investment) calculation is like this:

Let’s say you had 10,000 unique clicks(visitors). So my Adwords expense is: 10,000 x 0.01 TL = 100 TL = $80 (According to exchange rate)

Calculate your Adsense earnings: Let’s say you got 500 clicks x $0.20 (We assume we have middle paying keywords) = $100

I assume that you have a nice content and enough page views per visitor to get the clicks.

So, I have in this example: 100 – 80 / 100 = 20% ROI which is very high and you should continue doing it.

Let’s say we had 13,000 page views for 10,000 visitors. So my Adsense CTR would be: 500 / 13,000 x 100 = 3.84 which is a reachable target for nicely optimized pages.

The additional advantage is that you get traffic and boost your Alexa rankings. If you run on these pages other advertisements which works in bidding model such as Project Wonderful, you can get additional money because you have high traffic.

Second, you can have new readers for your blog or website.

The only bottleneck on this model can be the identification of international traffic. So, if you get traffic from other sources as well, you can not differentiate how useful was your campaign and who was really clicking your ads. I suggest you to run such pages only for Adsense at first and not to submit to search engines at all even Google. After you see the guaranteed success, you can submit to search engines for income boost. There are also some tools for click tracking. But, you have to be sure that these tools work correctly and not violate the big boss Google rules to not be punished by them.

I call this model as 0.01 Adwords magic.

If you think that my post was useful, then why not to join my RSS feed?

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!

I want to make it more clear with a concrete example.

MySpace allows you to get any user name like this. http://www.myspace.com/iphone

As far as I see, the owner of this path is also aware what he can achieve and drives natural traffic to his iPhone chat site. Search engines much like to index the pages on quality sites like MySpace, Digg etc. and with some clever tactics you can get considerable traffic for free. You can do it even with free blogspot domains. For example, http://appleiphonegames.blogspot.com is my blog and when iPhone was first appearing I made a clever step to register this path and have begun content making instantly. Now, I have everyday at least 50 impressions only comes from ‘apple iphone games‘ keyword search. The blog is on the 6th place in Google for this keyword. At Yahoo, I am 2nd. There are related keywords with different positions. By the explosion of future iPhone games after their SDK (Software Development Kit) release, the traffic will increase swiftly because I have the natural path which Google likes a lot

Anyway, I own Make Money Online path (http://apps.facebook.com/makemoneyonline) and the application on Facebook. Most of other good paths were also already grabbed, sorry folks!

It is a very simple application (actually a presentation let’s say) and has potential to grow more if I program it more efficiently and attractively. When the users add it, I show 10 ways of money making links. Conversions are high because it is targeted. To my surprise, I had many Chitika referrals there and even I don’t monetize Chitika ads on my blogs some referrals do it very nicely for me, hurraaaaa

Quiz applications on Facebook are also good money makers(still viral). I have severals of  them with related concepts and I use AdChap (Facebook PPC Advertiser), RocketProfit, CJ (CPA) networks to monetize.
For example: The Real You, Romantik (in Turkish)

Notice the several PPC, CPA (Cost Per Action) ads surrounding them on both canvas and action result pages. With the excellent Facebook invitation and news feed system they survive and become larger. And one confession, am I the invader of Facebook? Exactly, No. There are many applications with millions of users and hundreds of thousands page impressions a day with dedicated servers assigned to them. They just don’t make simple money. They make tons of them like a bank. What I do is running my brain’s evil motors to take my satisfactory slice from the big apple pie where I am not master and powerful!
