Overlooked by many webmaster including myself is YouTube Video Marketing. I have heard it mentioned numerous times from different people as a reliable way to make money online, but I never took the initative to try it out. Over the next few months I am going to do a case study on YouTube and see what submitting in demand videos with my website does to my revenue and traffic. I have met a few marketers over the years that have had success using Youtube to drive traffic to their landing page. It will not cost me anything so I cannot lose in that regard! Below are a ew videos for beginners on how to make money using Youtube to promote your website or landing page.
Been a while since my last post and I am going to attempt to get back on track for the new year now. If you did not get the chance be sure to read my money making goals for the new year which outlines my plan for 2008.
Adsense seems to be one of the trickiest advertising programs and most webmaster blogs devote an entire section just for discuss about it. In order to make the most money using Adsense the website needs have top notch search engine optimization and target the right keywords. I will use my Proxy Growth and Earnings Experiment to demonstrate how to optimize websites efficiently with Adsense.
Each proxy I am targeting a different keyword and blocked Iran and China so it they will not become smartpriced. Since these proxies are each four months old they aged and already indexed in the search engines which is helping bring the natural traffic back already.
In order to practice my search engine optimization and because proxies do not require a great deal of money to start up I decided to create some proxies for my December project. When I owned some in the past I was ranked real well on Google for competitive terms such as unblock myspace and myspace proxy. Right now I have to look for a proxy host and most likely will need a dedicated server. These sites pull in big bucks once they get big and I have been able to get a higher CTR then with most of my other sites. Will update this with more details when I set it up!
About half way into the month I began a SEO Case Study to build the most backlinks and popularity out of the blog in a short period of time. Here are the results from the study. To build backlinks I did a combination of directory submissions, blogroll exchanges, and submitted to a bunch of blog related websites. Although I did not meet most of my results they were pretty difficult and I came close on most of them. I could have done a bit more work on the Technorati rank which I spent almost no time with since it should go up naturally as people link to the blog.
