It is finally that time of year, and I plan on making some changes to this blog in 2008 that will make it more interesting. I enjoyed writing the list posts and the case studies most, and if the readers found them helpful I will continue with those. The other great part of having this blog was meeting other webmasters that share the same interests and goals as myself.
Here are my money making blog goals:
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.
WidgetBucks features pay-per-click shopping widgets that help our customers make money fast. They instantly display the most popular products based on buying trends of 100 million shoppers. These ads are highly engaging and very effective. The widgets average $3-$6 CPM which makes them highly competitive with Google Adsense and Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN). The network has been under intense debate if they were legitimate and would pay, this proof hopefully helps those skeptics.
Features and Benefits
- Self-service, scalable and relevant content that’s free and easy to publish
- Dynamic, contextual widgets act as content (vs. ads) that more effectively targets your users, not the masses
Even after the recent pagerank update caused many sites to have a decrease in their pagerank it is still very important to submit to directories. I am not saying to go out and submit to thousands of general directories, make sure that they are related to your websites niche. In my case I found a bunch of quality blog directories and submitted there. Of course some did not approve me for a number of reasons, but here are some tips that I used to increase the chance of getting in at some of the best directories. Keep in mind that paid directories to not guarantee free inclusion, sometimes even these will deny you if the terms are not followed. Always look for Deep Link Directories over the regular ones as these carry a far better SEO benefit even though the price is a little higher to get into them. Most Deep Link Directories are paid and have a fee to get listed in them.
Since building one way links is so important to increase search engine rankings, pagerank, and getting a higher link popularity I am going to create a list of the best ways to build more quality links. The intention of this list is for webmasters to use it as their resource of choice therefore visiting this blog to access it. In other words I want to build some buzz from making a list and think that this is something that not many others have covered. I was trying to find one myself and having a difficult time. Of course people have made one for a paticular niche but not a massive one combining a bunch of differerent onces.
