Pay to blog websites

Now that you understand how to create revenue from your own websites and blogs from simply being active and placing adds around your pages, we can now move onto another important way to make money online.
These days everyone wants to know what YOU think. People trust other peoples reviews and opinions over a company opinion. If i were to search for say apple ipods, of course i would see the company's review on the product and how awesome it is, and how many features the ipod has and how its revolutionizing technology with its playback technology, anti skip and sound quality. But of course they wont speak negatively about their own product! Thats where you come in.
Companies know that if someone else puts their opinion on the website that it will be more likely to attract a higher trust level by you. because they aren't getting paid to review the product or type something great about it.

These days those people are getting paid. But not by the company who owns the product. You see, if you write a blog for a company about their product or maybe even an article for their website or online newspaper then you can easily earn revenue.
The following websites can earn you money by simply signing up and writing about basically anything you wish!

Triond- This website is great you can publish almost anything and give your thoughts on particular topics of interest to you or even a great story or opinion you have. The pay isn't awesome but if you keep active and post regularly than you can certainly make yourself a neat 2nd income.

Helium- This is a great site also. Much like triond, you can type about current affairs and topics of interest and articles that you think someone else could benefit from. There is also a great feature called the marketplace where people who want an article written about a particular product or topic , will advertise for someone to write it for them and they will display how much they are willing to pay for it. This amount varies with the topic and amount of words but usually around $25-$200. Now thats a great way to earn money by writing a few hundred words!

Payperpost.com-This is another great way to make money by blogging. Although you need to have a blog account that is older than 30 days and with 10 active posts already. This is to prevent spammers from signing up so it should pay a little better.

Now make sure you link your articles and blog posts to places such as stumbleupon.com, digg.com, and reddit.com among many more. These places help link articles with poeple which means more clicks to your posts and more revenue for you!

Adsense- make money from your blog in 1 minute!

If you haven't already heard by now,ad-sense by google is currently one of the best ways that you can make money from your website or personal blog. I will show you how to set it up and what to do to maximize your SEO and increase your daily revenue using specific keywords.
Adsense is a smart marketing invention created by Google. Basically what it does is places advertisements on your website or blog that are related to the subject of your blog or website and once someone clicks on the advert you get payed! It's really that simple.
So for instance, if your blog is all about loans and consolidation loans, then adsense will figure this out with the help of those spiders we talked about earlier, picking up key phrases such as 'loans' and it will place relevant adds onto your website for you. You can chose exactly where you want these ads to appear, whether it be under posts on-top of the website content, on the header or to the left and right side of your content.
Having the option of customizing where the ad will be placed will help you maximize visibility for your ad, you can even customize the color scheme in which it will appear to match your background and font colors. Adsense picks up what colors your already using, so its not too difficult to match with your website.
So once you have your adsense account and you have placed your ads onto your website or blog, then the fun really starts. For every click of that add you will create revenue. Some advertisements will pay more per click than other adds will. There is a list you should check out below to find out which adds pay the most per click. But remember, for these adds to appear on your website/blog you must have relevant information about the topic already.
Up to date list of highest paying keyword adds:



$54.33 mesothelioma lawyers
$47.79 what is mesothelioma
$47.72 peritoneal mesothelioma
$47.25 consolidate loans
$47.16 refinancing mortgage
$45.55 tax attorney
$41.22 mesothelioma

Yes your seeing correctly thats $50 + just for someone to click on that advertisement!

See below for an example of my typical adsense adds.

These are a few Text adds. Basically they can pay anywhere between $0.40-$30.00 per click. You can edit your links to make them open in a new window if you feel okay with editing the coding that google will provide you with.
This is one of the best ways to create revenue through your websites and blogs. Don't forget to post regularly in other people's blogs to create link backs to your blog and to generate more traffic, and create new posts every few days to keep your blog fresh.

SEO- Search Engine Optimization Hints and Tricks

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is crucial for the traffic involvement your web site or blog will attract. Your website and or blog will naturally be composed of words. The more 'words' in your documents, the better! Text rich documents are full of juicy keywords those spiders (yes they're back!) just love to eat. If, for instance, your blogs topic is about artwork, then you should try and compose your blog in such a way that you are using relevant keywords relating to artwork and use as less slang as possible. This also includes Internet chat speak. I do get asked quite a lot "why can't we use copious amounts of chat speak in our blogs? It's an Internet thing right?" Well the answer is plain and simple, when have you ever searched Google for "xD" or "<3"?>Chat speak is not something you would want to search for in a search engine unless you were trying to find out what on earth it actually meant. So for this reason it is best that you avoid chat speak where necessary and just use keywords that are relevant to your blogs topic. Not only will your web pages and blogs receive a higher Search engine ranking but you wont confuse and annoy your reader by using words they may not be used to reading.

First Step, Search Engines!

Believe it or not there is a simple and easy way to make money online. The method you chose will determine how much you will make in a certain amount of time. Ignore the get rich quick schemes and the "pay to earn millions" websites, they are nothing more than scams and worthless information that you could easily access on google.

These days advertisers rely on a larger volume of people to promote their websites and stores. As most business is conducted online these days, its seems to make a lot more sense that they should do their advertising online too. The internet has proven a very popular place to be, everyone is moving online to join the rest of their peers, just try searching for a popular social networking site like myspace or facebook to see what i mean. As a result of the quite sudden move, advertisers are not only in need of a place to advertise, but they need people to move their name around the internet for them. This is where you come in! 

Blogs are much like an epidemic. Everyone has seen them and everyone is catching the trend.  Most of the people who browse online these days, whether it be for cars or for shopping online or for celebrity goss, will come across someone's blogs.  The reason being is this, search engines such as yahoo and google (and plenty more) search for keywords in documents, those google spiders love to eat up words in text rich documents such as blogs. Once these google spiders find enough keyword in a document to match what your searching for they will point those sites higher up on the list for you to find. Only problem with this is that websites are not created equally. 

If for instance, a website is made with flash, it is a lot harder for those spiders to find the text in the flash files, they may need to look behind the flash to find keywords, and this can make finding a particular site made with flash very very difficult. A perfect example is this; have you ever searched for something you thought was pretty straight forward, only to find that your search results wielded nothing of relevance but a bunch of worthless pages that just happened to have keywords that you used? This is thankfully happening  less and less, little by little. These nonsense web pages are nothing more than a trick web masters play on search engines to boost their search engine optimization (SEO).( I will explain a little more about SEO in my next post). 

Basically what people do to boost their search engine rankings is this; they will make a web page file and paste countless keywords and meta tags. A meta tag is basically a keyword that the spiders are most attracted to, to give off an introduction as to what your website content will contain. So the more keywords on a single page, the more text rich the document is and the more a search engine will find it and push it to the top of search results. 

Now while you may think this is a great idea, and it is, it is highly annoying for those looking for specific keywords, and it is also very much frowned upon by most search engines, google included. If you are caught out (and thousands of web pages are being caught as you read this) you will be dropped from the search engine and banned. This means your site will be lying dead and traffic deprived with millions of other web pages that implemented the same SEO system.

So how can you enhance the traffic flow to your website or blog? and yes this means more revenue for your business or your pay per add clicks. (More in next post)
