Google has just increased “Western Union Quick Cash” enable countries to 10 more. It was announced yesterday. I think it is pretty good thing Google has been try to establish in a global marketing aspect. So there are the 10 new countries that is just added to the list as of yesterday, 21 April, 2010. So, the lucky countries are Saudi Arabia, Croatia, Iceland, United Arab Emirates, Latvia, Lebanon, Slovenia, Tunisia, Moldova and Malta. With Western Union Quick Cash payment option, people will not wait several days to get paid since the clearing money at the bank is sometimes time consuming and mailing time. Besides, this option will not be charged you any money at all, which is also better than bank clearing, because with bank clearing checks, the bank will charge you some amount to clear as well.

 But let me quote you what Google has stated,

 ”Please keep in mind these important points:

• Payments will continue to follow our normal payment schedule and will be available for pickup at your local Western Union agent the day after they’re issued.
• You’ll need to present a government-issued ID that matches your AdSense payee name when picking up your payment. If you need to update or correct the payee name listed in your account, please follow the instructions in our Help Center.
• Right now, only individual payee names can receive payments by Western Union, not businesses.
• Payments must be picked up within 60 days of issue, or they’ll expire and be credited back to your account.
• Payments will be made in US dollars, but depending on your local Western Union agent, they may be picked up in your local currency.”

 In case you are wondering whether your country has already been qualified for the Western Union Payment, I should have included the countries that have already been identified.

So, the finalized list of the countries that can be accepted as Western Union Quick Cash payment will be;

• Argentina
• Barbados
• Bolivia
• Bulgaria
• Chile
• China (Mainland)
• Colombia
• Costa Rica
• Croatia
• Dominican Republic
• Ecuador
• Egypt
• Guatemala
• Iceland
• Indonesia
• Jamaica
• Latvia
• Lebanon
• Lithuania
• Malta
• Malaysia
• Moldova
• Morocco
• Nepal
• Pakistan

• Paraguay
• Peru
• Philippines
• Puerto Rico
• Romania
• Saudi Arabia
• Slovenia
• South Korea
• Taiwan
• Tunisia
• United Arab Emirates
• Uruguay
• Vietnam
• Virgin Islands (British)

   Well, enjoy your faster payments, folks. And Thanks for reading. J

Lately, I have been using this service, Twitoaster.com, for my tweets. It is really awesome service and I actually enjoy using it. It can actually track your twitter discussion, hence whoever replies to your tweets, will get indexed in Twitoaster.com.

How does it work?

As usual, it is basically an external API, so when you login at twitoaster, simply use your twitter login and password there, and that’s it. It will actually index all your replies, retweets that are in public timeline.

What’s the catch?

Why do we create accounts on facebook, friendster, myspace, twitter, digg, technorati? It is basically understandable that they give you traffic, search ability and special add-on functions that you can actually link back to your blog, profiles, websites, etc. Twitoaster can index your tweets, RTs, therefore, in a marketing point of view, when you post a URL in your tweets and someone replies you, your URL will get indexed which is good for extra traffic when someone search as many of internet marketer uses twitter to gain more traffic. Google index pretty quick with Twitoaster and I sometimes found my tweets while I search some of the keywords I posted in Twitter. That means, you don’t need extra time to input your tweets to be seen, not only in twitter, but also in Google, Yahoo! and MSN Live.

Usability

It is similar to blog commenting and it works with the feed, so, it is extremely easy to use and very user friendly, whatever you post in Twitoaster will be posted in Twitter, but it is not very good to spam because you have limits to use external APIs in Twitter, nevertheless, if you post something really good in 140 characters, it is possible that you will get some replies and that will actually make your tweets easily found and more popular not only in Twitter, but also in the web.

So, give it a try at Twitoaster.com and tell me what you think.

Have a good one.

Well, I just received payment from Bidvertiser.. They are pretty easy to work with. It’s not much, but it’s a start, and I actually don’t even display their ads on my site.

I just refer members who are willing to use Bidvertiser  as either publisher, advertiser or referrals. It is pretty simple and straight forward to sign up and also easy to get paid. All you need is good website traffic to convert.

So, here’s the payment proof.

Bidvertiser is very popular, because you can get paid with paypal, which is pretty easy to setup.

So, get yourself some earnings today if you haven’t signed up.
If you have blog or website and you can display your ads easily with bidvertiser as a publisher

Or if you want to promote or advertise, you get $20 FREE when you sign up advertising campaign with Bidvertiser. Both awesome deals. Not only you can advertise your website or blog, also your eBay items and many more.

Well, I got a email from Bidvertiser that I would have received $10 for referral in March, I was pretty stoked because I do not really expect much from Bidvertiser. So, the money is being audited and I will probably write you follow up post about this.

Bidvertiser is pretty easy to setup, it costs nothing, just you need a website or blog to display. Referral program pays you starting from $5 per sign up and you can also have ads to be displayed on your site. Bidvertise, in my opinion, is probably the second best to Google Adsense, I used to display Bidvertiser ads and the minimum I got is 3 cents per click, compared to many 1 cent per click in AdSense.. However, at the moment, It is not completely contextual, so CTR (click through rate) is pretty low compared to Google Adsense, but it’s the best second choice to Google AdSense I reckon.

Anyway, It’s fun to be a member of bidvertiser, because you have nothing to pay for sign up but you can actually earn the money from referral and displaying ads on your site. Another cool thing about this is, you can receive via paypal, which is pretty convinient to most of us and the payment minimum is only $10 and will pay monthly.

I will not lie it’s not easy to make money online, you need passion and dedication to do this. But in the long run, you will enjoy the benefit of your hardwork you put into.

Not only if you want to publish or do the referral, but also if you want to introduce or do marketing with your products and services, Bidvertiser is actually a good alternative since the advertising rates are now very reasonable because of global economy, so take advantages of this opportunity for you to become either publisher or advertiser. Remember, even referral gets you minimum $5 payout. So, if you haven’t got an account yet, try Bidvertiser, and make yourself some earnings.

And if you have any story about Bidvertiser, feel free to share and comment here. Thanks for reading

“Content is King, It’s also Cha-Ching”

Taking into account Technorati’s count on February 11, 2008 of 185,620,000 and adding a calculated 175,000 new blogs everyday – Today, as of December 20th 2008 there are a total of 217, 236, 376 blogs! You can view the running count here. (The flash counter adds 1 new blog every 2 seconds (based on the 175K new blogs daily).

That’s a lot of blogs, and even more content! According to WordPress.com, their stats stand at 5,037,838 blogs and a whopping 43,332,247 words today! The user generated content on the internet is staggering, and you would expect that.

So, in this competitive online world you cannot be soft – go hard out with what you write and write it like you mean it. You have to stand out from the crowd because your website falls into one of the following two categories;

~ Lots of Interested Users, More Competitive

~ Not many Interested Users, Less Competitive

If your blogging for any reason other than personal “writing” you are most likely to fall into the first category.

You might ask yourself, how do I make myself stand out? Well simple, do something out of the ordinary. Everyone can write, but it takes determination, perseverance and dedication to run a website that will have your visitors returning back and back again! Look around you, see what other people are doing and try to do something better, I know this is easier said than done, but nothing’s free in this world and you got to get out there and earn your respect. Don’t worry about money as you start, because with respect the $$ piggy bank is not too far behind.

Just a last pointer, is that write in topics you are personally interested in and not for the money. 95% of new bloggers fail because they try to write for high paying keywords and niches. What good is a high paying keyword if you give up in 2 months? If you don’t see yourself writing content about the topic in one year’s time, don’t even bother starting.

Firstly find out your passion and your interests and then go from there. Good luck to you, in your journeys!

Last week, I have posted about how to Create more traffic with Yahoo! Answers, now I have also found a brilliant e-book that has not included thousands of affiliates to sign for readers and just pure information e-book to share. And of course, this book also includes how to make money from Yahoo! Answers as well.  So, hope you will love it.

It is important that you need to choose a niche that can do e-commerce related or hardware related industry, so that you can probably make more money. This e-book is based on health and diet related pills monetization, so you can say it’s pharma-industry niche is based on.

Yahoo! Answers Monetization e-book FREE download

Happy making money just to spend 30-45 minutes a day.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for reading.

Presently, over 100 million blogs are available online. Why you are reading here? That’s because you have searched the correct keywords (organic traffic), visited high page rank site (PR techniques) or you visited the relevant sites (SEO techniques).

What makes you stand out from over 100 million blogs is not easy, but it is not tough as well. If you follow these 10 processes over a certain period of time, you will definitely achieve what you expected. That being said, it’s not an easy task to follow and usually you would have to satisfy yourself in every single phase.

1. Develop a valuable information, product or service.
2. Develop your own website in the niche that you know and love to do in the long run.
3. Develop your content with valuable resources and unique materials
4. Develop a real traffic to your website/blog.
5. Utilize your content to attract your traffic.
6. Build Trust and Credibility with your visitors.
7. Use your site to pre-sell your visitors.
8. Convert your target visitors to create sales.
9. Expand your revenue by effectively monetization of your site.
10. Continuously improve step 1 through 9.

There, you have it all. If you fulfill your website one by one, you can start having ads and affiliations at step 6. Step 7-9 will involve you to sign up with effective advertisers such as AdSense and Bidvertiser.

Happy making money. Thanks for reading.

I have finally decided to join Bidvertiser, An online advertising program for both advertisers and publishers. Because I think it is a good deal, besides, it’s compliance with Google Adsense, so there is nothing to lose, but more to gain. All you need is not to display similar ADs as Goole ADsense.

Some people argue that Bidvertiser do not have high paying keywords and etc. I find that funny because most of the keywords and niche you are in, perhaps you might find it very cheap then realising your niche has too many contents spamming around already. However, all those top earner sites have bidvertiser ads display even though they would say, their pay is low. To be honest, I have no idea.

For example, It is very painful to have ads on my site, because nowadays everyone is using making money online as a key-phrase and half the time, most sites will ask you to sign up, force and tell you to buy or resell. Therefore, ads around money making online become cheap keywords and perhaps used by more publishers than more advertisers. You only need to find the real deal out of it. As for myself, I found some useful sites by using “making money online” key-phrase, but most of them are useless to me  too.

Ok, here are the reasons why I choose bidvertiser.

1. FREE to join
2. Fast Paid Amount ($10 for paypal, $50 for check)
3. Money can be used as advertiser, referrer or publisher)Can be advertiser, referrer and/or publisher at the same time.
4. Very easy to choose, setup and configure.
5. Comprehensive tools and help.
6. Great customer relationship
7. Variety types of Ads
8. PPC (pay-per-click based, meaning, you get paid every time it gets clicked legitimately, no need to wait for completion of sales you refer or person you refer, one click creates sudden earning)
9. Great control of click fraud.
10. All of the above knowledge I have done in just a couple of hours. Exactly, two hours and all set and done for me. Very easy to setup and great pay.

Even in my category which has more publisher than advertisers, I can see there are some clicks worth over $7 per click, which is pretty impressive, if you have solid traffic and fantastic content, I am sure you will get that kind of click more often. So, you can either become Advertiser, Publisher, and Referrer at the same time. Become one or all of them, and start making money.

As a advertiser, you can have two types, 

• Display your ads on your website or blog &
• Display your eBay auctions. 

 
Well, thank you for reading, any comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Well, this is probably not very new topic for you. However, I still would like to discuss from my point of view and a few solutions that you can prevent from getting banned from Google AdSense Online Advertising and Publishing Program.

Okay, I am a member at Digital Point Forums, the place is like a gateway to the Webmaster A-to-Z knowledge, I have seen brilliant guys and ladies helping each other over there. I learned a lot of things I have never ever known of. And to the irony, I notice something everyday, It’s like “My site got banned from Google” or “My site is no longer indexed in Google”, It is like having a breakfast every morning for me, Because when I login to digital point, that’s what i see every morning.

I know we loving reading, but not really what it comes to reading things like terms & conditions and TOS and disclaimers and copyright and oh, the list goes on and on. Absolutely, you don’t need to read all those boring things but all you need is just follow these proper procedures & you will never need to read boring stuff.

1. Use Unique content (I have mentioned of this several times already LOL)
2. Must have at least 20 unique content pages of your site (This is more about getting approval instead of ban, but unique content pages are always a plus)
3. Don’t use Hidden Texts or change the codes given (Using small display texts and load with rich keywords)
4. Do not use bots or click frauds (Do not cheat, because all the potential fraud clicks and counts will be refunded back to original Advertiser, Think of yourself as an advertiser, you will love to have targeted audience with true human visitors, so As a publisher, treat the same as how you would like to be treated)
5. Use the AdSense approved formats only (You have several formats to display, more than enough, but don’t be super-smart, you will be banned)
6. Don’t click on your own ads (everyone needs to know, that’s very important and tempting sometimes when you see the ads, of course you can click other ads when you really are surfing, but keep in mind, no clicking on your ads, not even ONCE, period), It has been well documented one person was banned having click twice his ads within 24 hours, so keep your hands away from your own ADS.
7. Don’t do overkill Ads placement on a single page, 3 Ad Links or 3 Ad Units. Besides, it will decrease your conversion rate and 90% of visitors hate full of ads page. (Simply follow Goggle’s rules)
8. Don’t display similar Ads as Google (Keep in mind that you have to satisfy the big guy Google, don’t mess up with similar ads such as Adbrite text ads on the left and Adsense on the right)
9. Never tell/write in your contents anyone to encourage, persuade, push or trick to click your ads, you will get banned. (Google use several variations and conditions to check your page content and relevancy, check out my article about Google and its technology, you will be amazed how smart their search engines and hypertext analysis methods are)
10. Use single Google account to maintain several websites/AdSense Channels. It is a must, if you have 100 websites, you can still use your singleaccount@gmail.com, don’t do multiple accounts for multiple sites. (This is also help you to protect identify theft and will save a lot of time for Google to make a quick payment, meaning, we all get money faster)
11. If you want to label them, use “sponsored links” or “advertisements”, other keywords are not allowed. (Don’t make labels like NGO supported, donation welcome or me love you long time, in this case, you will be banned and your arse will be burned)
12. Never launch a new page in new windows if you are linking inbound links. (That is multiple pages pressuring visitors to click your ads, and that is wrong, all inbound links, do not open in a new window)
13. Use Ads on content pages (don’t create blank page with ads, you will be banned, don’t create copy/paste materials all the time, you will be banned, don’t use terrible design & layout, you won’t be banned, but many people hate them )
14. Do not try to cover ads elements, you see like “google ads” >> << things like that, don’t try to hide them under something and don’t try to trick Google. (You will be banned. Google nicely allows you to use different background color to fit in with your content pages. Yes, use Blend, it will fit in nicely most of the times)
15. Check your contents all the time. Don’t just throw cheap contents just to make your site stuff. Always aware of your contents. That’s very important. (Of course, your contents should be free of pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content)
16. Don’t over advertise your ads. (Google allows you to enter relevant keywords, but don’t over do with rich keywords again)
17. Do not trick with images and texts of ads. (Trying to portray like images and texts are related in order to make visitors to click, you will be banned)
18. My Site PR7 PageRank for sale (Don’t try to sell pagerank, it is not a right, it’s a privilege, so don’t screw yourself, since your site has good PageRank, it’s even better for Google to trace your activities, oops, you have done a lot of great SEO works and everything you write, Google will find out faster than the potential buyers)
19. Don’t do link farms with Adsense. (Search engine crawlers hate link farms, so make sure who you are connected to, be relevant with your discussion as well, experts said if you have more than 100 links in a page, that is very likely your site creditability will be low and maybe exclude or discount you from page ranking system, heard the stories of PR5 to PR2 in 2 days?)
20. Make sure there is NO pop-up ads or pop-under ads on your site (that’s another “How to Get banned from Google AdSense in a 24 hours guide book”, just kidding)
21. Provide a good environment for advertisers (They are paying money to you, so be nice, be informative when you give out facts, be true to visitors, so Google can assign related ads to your sites, don’t worry about the keywords rate, once you are true to your visitors, you always get rewarded).
22. Be Alerted and Active (Always update your current emails if Google sent u important emails, some people got banned because they don’t response on time and not follow the Google guidelines within given period)
23. Don’t use black hat SEO and Pay-To-Click services around your site. Be square and Be Fair to honest people who uses SEO methods honestly and advertisers who want to get their products or services known.

Well, I don’t so smartly come up with all these great suggestions all by myself even though I read whatever it is necessary to create this post.

So, Thanks to these people, not in order, but equally grateful to have read your articles in the past. All the credits go to these fabulous people who also inspired me to write about this article.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome, Thanks for reading my longest post on my site. And Happy Earning Google AdSense in the future.

The objective is to make money online, not to spend or buy things via online, in order to “quote & quote” “MAKE MONEY“. Your initial investment would be nothing more than buying a domain and web hosting or host it on wordpress.com or blogger.com. That is all

Sometimes, people got cheated by buying e-books to get rich (where the seller got rich eventually), subscribing PAID affiliates at a certain costs and become a reseller and referral to become same as others. I will never become one of them and You shall never become one, because it is a non-improving & never improving business and You will probably want to earn money by doing the right thing.

So, i will never sell e-books or ask you to sign up anything that’s looping for you to sign other members. Because that’s 100% unethical. I will never provide blackhat SEO for link building as well. Okay, Enough said. Let’s take a look at one of the online income sources for ESPECIALLY bloggers.

Blog Sponsored Sites and their Market Place

These sites act as a bridge between advertisers and publishers. When an advertiser wants to promote his/her products and services, advertiser can generate and search a blogger niche and advertise to the people who would be interested to buy similar products or services. For example, one blogger is constantly updating about his reviews on Digital Still Camera (niche), an advertiser can buy his blog posts and attract the information seekers regarding digital still cameras. Pretty straight forward and easy. Of course, you will need review skills, correct grammar and attractive sentence construction. However, once you are blogging about something, I expect that there is nothing to lose to try. There are many top earners whose languages are not their mother tongue as ENGLISH.

Here are a few things you need to know about

Advantages

Easy to make money while you write what you love

Disadvantages

Not much depending on your niche, and sometimes required massive traffic to your site

Negative Consequences

Advertisers and publishers may be penalized in sponsored review. Possibly lower page rank or removed from Google search unless you full disclose your sponsored review as paid posts and use NoFollow tag within the HTML link, so Google won’t treat those links qualifying links in order to index the web. Then again, Advertisers are paying for those links, so they won’t probably pay you. That’s the problem with paid link.

Following sites you can make online money by blogging…..

1. PayPerPost (one of the biggest with a market place, reliable and great guidelines)
2. ReviewMe (popular, without needed to search for advertiser who will search for bloggers)
3. SponsoredReviews (both advertisers and publishers search each other, quite well-known)
4. SocialSpark (same parent company of payperpost, used full disclosure of paid links system, perhaps the most safest way to avoid hate from big search engines such as google, msn live and yahoo!), I may probably use this one in the future.
5. PayU2Blog (Smallest player in sponsored reviews world, but reliable)

My Honest Point of View

I may not use this kind of service to earn money. But if you want to use it. Of course, you are free to try these sites. As I have stated, I will share the tips how to earn money online without tricks or scams. This method is actually used by many of the top 100 earners from blogs. But I will give you my honest truth, I may not use this method unless search engines have sure terms and conditions regarding this service.

Any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading.

Search engines send spiders and crawlers to our blogs/websites to index in their search engines. Everyone knows that, but what everyone doesn’t know is the trick to keep your spiders and crawlers coming back and index your site/blog.

For all my readers, I will publish two methods for sitemap, one is manual sitemap which is actually feeding  the inbound links contents to spiders/crawlers all at once and another one is XML generator google sitemap, which i will publish in the future. 

Please bare in mind that, whatever I install or integrate in my InfoMM.com blog, I actually installed, experienced and compose these articles, so if you have any hurdles or issues with it, please comment here, so that I can learn and help new visitors better.

Ok, in wordpress, you can add several pages as your sub-section, and I use a manual sitemap as my additional page. The general nature of the web spiders and web crawlers will visit the page when you submitted, for example, http://infomm.com/sitemap/, it is my sitemap (actually I just list them alphabetically for visitors to sort under most related categories),

For spiders and crawlers,  they will visit the root (main) page and start gathering information and building the inbound/outbound links and their relevancy to the topic I am discussing about. Your absolutely unrelated links may be discounted whereas your relevant information will be added and ranked possibly higher in search results. 

So, my solution is simple, I just list all my articles under a single page, and I only submit the particular URL once, then, i will always be getting bots and spiders frequently to monitor my web-page activities. All you need is just add “One Article with its respective link”, and you are successfully complete with most of the search engines forever once you submitted one time. Your unnecessary web promotion time will be easily eliminated and you can allocate your valuable time on something else in order to create wealth or pleasure. 

Good? I think it is very effective and great webmasters actually recommend this. So, I shall say the same.

Any comments and suggestions? please feel free to write a comment or two….At least, spiders and web crawlers can also use your comments URL to index inbound links from mine..so, you will probably build your inbound links to your site and you can gain more in PageRank System  

Thanks for reading
