How Beginners Make Money Online In Blogs

by Sunny

Blogs are the good 1st road to start for the IT savvy and interested beginners to make money online because most of them costs nothing to register and incorporate useful basic tools for the new user to start on.

The most common are Blogger.com and Wordpress.com and most people whose into internet surfing knows them. These are the 2 most popular and useful blogging sites on the internet on this day.

There are many posts and advices written on various sites and internet-based forums to let beginners know as to how to proper use them. In many cases, they are used aggressively by individuals to give alternative opinions and to reach across divisions of people's minds.

They also provide features to readers to offer their views on the subject matter and this function makes them a very appealing broadcasting tool to the masses.

There is also no worry of being identity-known as readers can mask themselves and use a nickname to write their comments.

The Earth is a small place now than before in the dawn of the internet and bloggers make things much smaller and lets information travel speedily and available to mankind.

Name it the internet era and benefiting societies at large and making information available to people who seek them all over the world. Of course, bad things could be used to spread chaos and fear in public at large but this can be ignored as long as the benefits outweigh the weakness and matters are under proper care by the govt.

If the people are knowledgeble and highly resourceful and able to differentiate the truth from the fictions, then it will be okay to having them on the internet.

Recently, people have come to be aware that beside providing out news and their comments, blogging is another way to make a living by clicking on advertisement banners ie. Google Adsense and Adwords programs. Many people have become very wealthy using these programs and there are many people who became gurus after doing it themselves and letting beginners know how it's done.

This review which I am writing is one of the methods which I am using Google Adsense to obtain some cash from the internet. The method I am doing are posting articles which are linked to my keywords and then using SEO techniques to boost the google page ranking.

Google is no. 1 search engine which has about 50% of all internet searches every day. The rest are Yahoo and MSN search engines (40%) and other tiny search engines (10%)which are too small to be of much assistance in the quest to making money online to me.

When I write and post more here using the keywords which is part/all of the the domain name and title of this blog, google spiders will soon visit and give traffic from these new and original postings.

To obtain good traffic, I must have a high page ranking from Google which is numbered 0 to 10. All new sites start with 0 and move up as they become older and more posts leading to more traffic from readers. Google will assist traffic to me once this happens and that is the answer why I need to post and post more.

With a solid background in blogging and tips from good internet webmasters and certain good sites, I can succeed and as a gesture, give useful ideas and comments to beginners to make money online in blogs and make it a very enriching experience.

Do Backlink Advertising Networks Really Work?

By ContentMart Editor
Do Backlink Advertising Networks Really Work? When I first heard of backlink advertising networks, I have to admit I was more than a bit skeptical. Of course backlinks are probably the most important tool in the search engine optimization kit, but buying or acquiring backlinks in an unnatural way has always been something Google and other major search engines do not condone. I took a look at a few networks hoping to find some answers.

The first network I looked at was DigitalPoint's Coop Advertising Network (http://www.digitalpoint.com). DigitalPoint's network allows you to create either banner or text ads that will then be displayed on various websites in the network with an active backlink. Websites receive a "weight" which determines how often they appear on other sites, although it wasn't exactly clear on how a site gains weight. Further reading explained that certain factors such as Alexa Rank and number of pages showing ads may contribute to weight. It was even possible to target your ads by category. I was very impressed with the setup. So, I installed the ad network on a few websites and, sure enough, the system started to churn out backlinks.

After testing out the network, I decided to read what others were saying in their forums. Sure enough, my worst fears were realized. As I suspected, churning out links can have a negative impact on search engine rankings. Various sites complained of being completely dropped from Google or Yahoo's index. The problem, it seems, was that links were not permanent. DigitalPoint's network rotates links as you reload a page so you have no permanent backlinks. I immediately removed the links from my sites, and moved on to analyze the next network.

The next backlink advertising network I found was AdCaliber (http://www.adcaliber.com). I quickly read over their FAQ and was pleased to find that they promised permanent backlinks that only get removed when I choose. Other than that, the system seemed similar to DigitalPoint although it was a bit more flexible in ad targeting. After creating an account, I received 100 credits which I could use to bid for backlinks. Apparently, AdCaliber works on a bidding system. You bid a monthly amount of credits to obtain links on certain sites. For example, I bid 50 credits to obtain links on sites with a Google Pagerank of at least 5 and Alexa Rank of at least 500,000. Then, when an open ad slot appeared on a site matching those qualifications, the highest bidder would get the link. In my case, I would be debited 50 credits per month. I was very impressed with the system. I liked having the ability to target my ads precisely. I was also impressed with the ease of installation. With AdCaliber, you don't have to upload any files to your server. You just simply paste a short PHP code on your website. It was very simple. The only negative thing I have to say about AdCaliber is that it is much newer than DigitalPoint and its network is not as large, therefore not as many backlinks are available yet.

To sum it all up, DigitalPoint is a very effective backlink advertising network when you are looking to acquire backlinks quickly. I would not use DigitalPoint for long term SEO, though. AdCaliber seems to be your best bet for long term SEO and seems to give you better control over your backlinks.
