How To Make Money Using a Blog

Many friends have asked me whether we can make money online from blogs or not. I told them you can make money even by selling lemonade at the corner of your school but the main problem is that you must have passion and time for what you will be blogging. Many people fail because they are starting blogs just to make money , they are writing 2 or 3 articles and they are using different affiliate links and other advertisement programs to catch any cents.
You must know that in order to make some money , at least you should know what you are talking about and not post just crap in order to increase number of posts in your blog.
Many newbies on the internet doesn't even know how to get a free blog online so in this article I will explain step by step what you have to do in order to make some cash from your blog
There are 2 big blog providers online which are
  • WordPress.com
  • Blogger.com
- WordPress has a lot of templates and widgets so you can use for your blog , you can create categories and you can even purchase more space and other cool features if you upgrade
- Blogger was purchased by Google so the best part is that you can get accepted to Adsense through Blogger. The bad part is that you cannot create categories but you can give Labels to your posts as they were categories (Im doing it)

You must know that creating a blog is really simple but updating it everyday with new and unique content is really a hard work (its not so hard if you speak about your favorite niche like I'm doing) So content will be the judger whether you will be a successful blogger or not, if you will update it once a week chances will be very low but if you will post good and unique content every day then you will be in the right road

So ok so far , you have created the blog , you chose your template and you are posting some articles. You will ask how will you get the traffic ?
There are tons of ways to drive traffic to a blog , I will explain some of the techniques I'm also using
  • Register at FeedBurner.com
  • Register at TechnoRati.com
  • If you are a member of DigitalPoint Forum add your RSS Feed to your profile (it will be shown under your username everytime you post a new reply or thread)
  • Write some unique articles and upload them at Article Directories (See this post for more explanations)
  • Register at MyBlogLog.com
  • Add your blog url to your signatures in every forum you are (if possible add also an avatar with your blog's address)
  • Add your blog url to high pr directories
So with 7 easy and free ways you can start seeing some increases in your traffic (Note that if you dont post regularly your traffic may decrease again)
Now I know that all of you are thinking , how will we be making money from our blogs ? Its really simple but I would strongly recommend use just 2 or maximum 3 advertisments and do not put the advertisements from the beginning (wait until you have some traffic then you may add them) Make sure your advertisements and other widgets are like your template so you wont have a lot of contrast.
Here I'm listing the ways how you can make money from your blog once you have some decent traffic and some readers
  • Adsense (CPM & PPC which pays differently for each niche)
  • Text-Link-Ads (Get Money if someone buys a link to your site from TLA)
  • ReviewMe (Get paid for different reviews you make , more traffic you have more you will earn)
  • PayPerPost (same as ReviewMe but it has more advertisers in their network)
  • Money4Banners (Doesn't matter if you have a small or big blog , you get 10$ when you sign up and 5$ every month just to display their advertisment
  • WidgetBucks (this seems to be most promising program which pays very high rates but nobody has received any payment so far as its a new company)

So I'm listing just these 6 ways but if you would be interested on others feel free to contact me and I will share my experience with you.

Make sure you use proper keywords for each article and make sure your blog structure is like :

http://yourblog.com/this-is-how-you...rl-must-be.html
and not like :
http://yourblog.com/2007/2425.html (SEO Purposes)

Make Money From Google Ads - How to Work With AdSense

Most people know that you can make money from Google ads and that in order to do so, you need to display Google ads on your site, but many don't know how to work with AdSense to maximise revenue.
Here are some tips on how to make money from Google ads and how to work with AdSense.

Tip #1 Before you apply for your AdSense account make sure that you have at least one blog or website with some interesting and informative content on it. As a minimum, you should have three or four posts and/or pages. If you submit a site which is obviously under construction and has no real content then Google may reject your application and once rejected, it's very hard to be considered again, so get it right first time.

Tip #2 Play it safe with the type of website you submit. Google do not permit the display of AdSense adverts on sites with adult content, sites with copyrighted content which do not have the legal right to display such content, gambling sites, sites related to drugs, alcohol or tobacco, violence, weapons, hacking, other illegal activities, compensation programmes and "hate" content. Financial and foreign exchange related sites are also having difficulty gaining approval.

Tip #3 Once approved, create your AdSense for content blocks and make sure to create Custom Channels. Custom Channels will enable you to track the success or otherwise of your ad blocks. Name your Custom Channels so that you will recognise which ad block is being referred to. For example, for my text links which run across the top of my site about cats I use the Channel "catstop" and for the block which appears in the middle of each blog post, I use "catsmidpost".

Tip #4 Google allows the display of up to three ad units and three link units per page. However, use your common sense when choosing how many ads to show. If your page has little content, then six ads will just look like one big advertisement. I usually use a link unit across the top, a large square or rectangle mid-post and another link unit at the end of the post. I also use a skyscraper in either the left or right sidebar.

5 Tips To Increase Your AdSense Income

Google AdSense is without a doubt the simplest way to make money online, without selling any product. AdSense has enable relatively small sites and blogs to earn income from their sites every day, when someone clicks on the AdSense ads displayed on the sites. All someone has to do is to setup blogs with good content, and the money will come in. It sounds rather simple. But, in practice, there are a number of things to take care of, such as optimizing your sites to generate more clicks. Many top bloggers earn more than $100 a day from AdSense, but the majority are earning pittance from their content sites. You should be able to increase your AdSense income, if you implement the following tips.

Keyword research is the most important task you should carry out before you get your domain name. Look for a keyphrase with a high search volume, but with a low search count in Google. You can use the Google keyword tool or other keyword tools for keyword research. Also ensure that the average cost-per-click is above one dollar for the selected keyphrase, as we want to get higher payout for each click.

Once you have your keyphrase, the next step is to get a dot com domain name matching the keyphrase. By following these steps, you will have a better chance of getting better rankling in search engines and benefit from free organic search results.

Use self-hosted WordPress blog to create your content blogs. If you want good search engine ranking, using WordPress will give your blog the added advantage as Google loves WordPress. A WordPress blog is one of the most effective ways to increase your website rankings on Google. The better the Google ranking, the more organic visitors you will get which will result in more clicks for your AdSense ads. Post unique, quality keyword targeted content on a regularly basis and you will see your AdSense income increase overtime, as more pages are indexed in Google.

Another important factor to double your AdSense income is the placement and appearance of the AdSense ads. The color scheme of the AdSense ads should be the same as the blog's theme so that the ads will blend nicely with the content. This will increase the click-through rate as the AdSense links will look similar to the sites' links. The AdSense ads should be placed above the fold of the page to maximize the effectiveness of the ads. The best size for the AdSense ads is the Large Rectangle (336x280), which have the tendency to result in higher click-through rates.

5 Tips How To Earn Money From Google Ads

Whether you are a beginner or a long-time veteran of the online business scene, you may well have questions about how to earn money from Google ads. A great program that requires very little set-up and maintenance is Google's AdSense program. Once it is incorporated on a website, it will pretty much run by itself.
Of course, making money with Google ads is not an automatic process. As with all other online income opportunities, your first goal in order to succeed is to gain some technical know-how of how the Google AdSense program works. This will determine the amount of income that you will be able to generate.
There are a number of things that influence the ad placements on a website. Google ads are either textual or graphic advertisements that are displayed based on the content of a particular page or web article, the audience of a particular website, or the preferences of an advertiser. According to Google, 'keyword analysis, word frequency, font size, and the overall link structure of the web' are the criteria that are used to decide which advertisements go on a particular web page. It is important to keep this in mind because it will help you decide the kind of content for your website.
To earn money from Google ads, website owners must consider the following criteria:
1. Are your articles well-targeted to your audience? Make sure that before you even consider signing up for a Google AdSense account that you spend time determining your market. Your readers are more likely to click on your website's advertisements if your articles and keywords are highly targeted.
2. Does most of your content generate targeted advertisements? The automated process of placing ads is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, Google ads lend themselves to the plug-and-play approach, which means that they can run on autopilot. The drawback of this is that you have very little control over what appears on your site. If your content does not generate targeted advertisements, chances are that you will not get enough ad clicks and revenue from your site.
3. What do you want your readers to do when they access your web page? Knowing the intent of your audience is important in order for you to generate income from Google ads. Some kinds of content are simply better than others in convincing people to click on advertisements. For example, an article that talks about the 'five best couches for living rooms' would likely do better than an article about the 'history of couches'. Why? Readers of the first article are very likely to be potential buyers, whilst the second article will possibly attract those who are just casual web surfers looking for something interesting to read. Obviously, those who are in 'purchasing mode' are more likely to click on the advertisements.
4. How well are your ads located on your website? If you want to generate AdSense revenue then you must have good content, but it is also very important that you find the right place on your web page to insert advertisements. There is no hard and fast rule about the best place to insert ads - it can vary from one site to another. However, Google says that in general, it is best to place advertisements as close as possible to web content. This is where it will command the most attention from readers.
5. Does your website properly integrate Search Engine Optimization techniques? It goes without saying that website traffic is the most important prerequisite in making money form Google ads. Using well-integrated keywords, meta tags, and other SEO techniques will help you acquire the online visibility you need to earn money from Google ads.

10+ Faqs Regarding AdSense you should know

Few days back I have shared how to earn with Google AdSense and now I’m sharing FAQS about invalid clicks and keeping your account in good standing.

Do read: 
10 Common Ad Placement Mistakes (Google Adsense Policies) 
10 Ways to earn money from Google AdSense

How long has AdSense been going?

AdSense was launched in March 2003.  Check out their Press Release.

How much money can I make from AdSense?

There's no simple answer (yet).  Google doesn't disclose what fraction of click thru revenues it pays to AdSense participants and then there are all the other factors: site traffic, keyword values, click thru rates and so on.  If you really want to know how to improve have a look at Optimising Strategies. 

Can anyone sign up to the AdSense program?

No. Google lays down some fairly specific policies that must be adhered to before a site can be accepted on the AdSense program and then there are other less clearly defined criteria that must be satisfied.  You also need to generate a wonderfully under-whelming 2 clicks per month from your site.

What's the difference between AdWords and AdSense?

A lot and a little and the terminology takes a bit of getting used to.  (And what's the singular of AdWords too for that matter?!).  AdWords is Google's proprietary advertising service that produces those prim text-only ads on the right hand side of its search results page.  All revenues from AdWords ads that show on Google go to Google.
AdSense is Google's syndication program for its AdWords ads.  Any AdWords ads that are syndicated out to third party website do so via Google's AdSense program.  Ads seen via the AdSense program are AdWords ads posted on third party sites.
So AdWords are the ads.  AdSense is the syndication program.

What other services compete with AdSense?

Any online syndicated ad service to a degree is a competitor but the closest we know of in function are Sprinks, a divison of PRIMEDIA and Content Match (Overture).  However, on 24th October 2003 Google acquired Sprinks - they posted support information for Sprinks users.
More details about Content Match

What fraction of click thru income does Google pay out?

They won't say at the moment.  People monitoring their own AdWords and AdSense statistics are trying to pin it down but it makes sense for Google to keep it quite generous because the web rumour mill would quickly start churning out bad karma if anyone seriously sensed the payments were miserly.

Why did Google launch AdSense?

Google has always wanted to make money - it is a business after all largely owned by Venture Capitalists.  But Google's fundamental philosophy has been about helping people find the information they want on the web without cluttering up the process with a bazillion ads that flashed and blinked everywhere.  So they started off developing AdWords on the basis that they were discrete, text-only and RELEVANT to the searcher.  You rarely see AdWords ads that are of no relevance to you - partly because any vaguely smart advertiser won't want to waste time targeting unlikely customer bases, and more significantly, because web users can effectively vote off irrelevant ads: an AdWords ad that fails to get a decent click thru rate (0.5%) gets shoved into hibernation by Google.
AdWords thus enabled Google to make money whilst remaining largely faithful to their philosophy - ads were small and useful and relevant.  So then they began to think about expanding the program to third party sites, sites that in many cases were already using Google as a search tool.  It made sense to do this because it increased Google's revenues without detracting from the user experience.  Initially Google worked with major partner sites and once this all worked fine, they broadened out the program to AdSense - to exploit the commercial opportunities created by their excellent search technology.

Is AdSense good or bad?

It's good and the reason is that it will encourage many smaller information rich sites to grow and provide even more valuable and interesting content for web users.  In the past many really interesting sites have been posted by topic enthusiasts and the process has cost them money, particularly in the early days when domain names were expensive and so was hosting.  Even now though, to post and host a decent website takes cash and it certainly takes time.  So these enthusiasts were typing away with no reward save for a growing guest book and increasing site traffic (or not!).  AdSense empowers many of these sites to make a bit of money and recover their costs or even make a profit.  And there's a loose sort of equation too - more interesting and valuable content = more AdSense payouts.
Therefore whether you like the idea of making money from your site or of getting excellent informational resources online, AdSense is good.

Do all AdWords ads get included in the AdSense program?

No.  There are three hurdles that have to be gotten over.  First, the advertiser has to agree to content targeted ads when he sets up his AdWords campaign.  Secondly, the Google editorial team must find the ad acceptable for inclusion in AdSense.  Thirdly, the ad mustn't be from a site specifically disallowed by the AdSense participant.
On this third point, AdSense participants can prohibit ads from competitors whose website will almost certainly be similar in content to their own.

How can I find out how much an AdWords keyword costs?

The easiest way for AdWords advertisers is to use their AdWords control panel to enter keywords into the keyword selection tool with a trial price and see what ad position Google reports back on the estimate page.  An alternative route is to enter the keyword (or phrase) into Google and see how many AdWords ads show up.  If there are fewer than 8, the bottom one costs 5c although the price paid for higher positions may be well in excess of this.  Google states that the highest price for a keyword is set at $50!

How can I find out which keywords are worth the most?

You can find a relative value by visiting FindWhat.com.  This is a useful tool if you want to plan which keywords to slant your site content towards (although FindWhat doesn't have anything like the market penetration of Google and so may not report useful data on obscure keywords and its price won't be the same as Google's.)

Do I have to use AdWords to join AdSense?

No.

Does AdSense participation have any impact on my site's ranking on Google?

There are some rumours going around that becoming an AdSense participant can help your site in the ranking but nothing definite has been proved yet.

I run an enthusiasts site.  Could I make any money from AdSense?

Absolutely.  If you think of Google at least partly as a philanthropic organisation, then AdSense will help enthusiasts get some rewards for their labours.  All that high quality content you post could help you get some money provided there is some commercial relevance to your sites content - and there usually is.

Is there a minimum click thru level I have to achieve to stay in AdSense?

Yes there is.  You need to get at least two clicks a month.

How does Google stop people cheating and clicking on ads on their site?

They don't tell you their techniques - but you can be sure as hell that they are pretty clever about this.  Think about their position.  AdWords / AdSense is a major source of revenue for Google and growing fast.  They don't want to kill this income stream off by turning advertisers off do they?  No, so they will be working very hard on this one.  If you are an AdSense participant, you'd be crazy to do it.  Google even goes so far as to state that you can't test an ad on your site even once!

What's the best way of keeping in touch with AdSense developments?

Sign up to our newsletter.

How do I make more money from from AdSense?

Most people work backwards: they have a site and then think about monetizing it with AdSense and this is Google's preferred route.
However, a more rational approach would be as follows:
Find a series of related products or services that a multitude of companies advertise using AdWords and high value keywords.
Create a website that supplies a range of information about subjects commercially related to those products and services i.e. that people who buy these products or services are likely to seek out on the internet.
Submit the site to Google's AdSense program.
Promote the hell out of the site with ezines, viral marketing techniques (especially ebooks), AdWords, other pay per click systems, PR.  In short, you name, you do it.
Bank the checks.
