Submitting to Yahoo Answers and Forums

OK, for this post I am going to make it short and sweet. What you got to do is submit your website or blog to Yahoo Answers. Search for things related for your blog/website, look for people looking for you. That is how you will make sales and earn money. Submit you website to answers and to forums. The same thing applies to forums, just submit it to people looking for your service or website. One tip is to never submit to an answer that doesn't concern you and try to explain what your site does, but don't necessarily say its your site.

AdSense VS. Adbrite

So what's better, AdSense or Adbrite? Well I'm about to tell you. When i first began using AdSense, i thought, man i have gotten over 2000 impressions and not even a penny. Well i can tell you that it was because I was visiting my site 10 times a day. The reason I did that though is because I was working on it almost every day making little tweaks, and seeing if it was working. Well to make AdSense work to your advantage you have to never visit your site. I used to think Adbrite over AdSense, until I made $2.36, just in one click. (that day I was obviously not on my site) By the way I have 4 sites. One i was using AdSense, and the rest I was Using Adbrite. I have used Adbrite for the last three months and was averaging $.09 a day, and it was going up every month. Last month, the month of September 2008, I have earned exactly $2.54. I switched to AdSense at the beginning of the month and so far in this month of October 2008 I have earned $3.07. The only thing I liked about Adbrite is that their payout was at only $5, while AdSense doesn't pay you till you reach $100. But overall I conclude that AdSense is better.

Soon to come is a monthly post of my AdSense earnings, so look forward to it.

Adsense Don'ts

OK, you have heard and read this before, you already know the do and the do not do. But let me rephrase what they have said. They said do not do this or you will not earn as much. Well that is true because if you do do them, then you will earn less. They just never tell you how much less. I am going to tell you how much less. OK, now let's see the thing that you should never do.

1. The Number one rule!

I hate to say it, but the one thing you can never do is even go to your site. If you go to your site, even once a day is too much, you will never earn anything. Believe me, I learned this the hard way. And of course never click on your ads. If you click on your ads, AdSense will automatically will take you off the money making road for the rest of the day. Unless of course you have more than one site on you AdSense account. These rules apply specifically to one site, so if you go on only one of your sites that is hooked up to AdSense, then you only take away one of your sites that are making money from AdSense.

2. Don't make your ads pop out, its proven that if you make your ads the same as your background, you'll get more clicks.

3.That's really it, as long as you follow this exactly, and get enough hits, you'll eventually start making money.

Please feel free to contact me, I will usually reply within a day.

Website submission

I can tell you this, you really can't even begin to start until you have submitted your website to all of the search engines, but really once you have been listed in Google, then you will be listed in all the others, the fastest way to be listed in Google is to submit an XML file of your site. There are sites that will index your site for free and give you the XML file and you then submit it to Google. OK there are many sites and stuff where you can pay to have it submitted, you never want to do this!!!!! Total scam. Its not that they don't submit it to as many places as they say, its just you can get this done for free, and I am not talking about submitting at a website. Now there are programs that you can pay for so that you can have your website submitted automatically, and sometimes its not automatically. Any way, I am making a big deal about this because there is a program out there that is free and does so much for you. It's called WEB CEO and I truly bieleve WEB CEO is the future of Search Engine Optimization. It is a program that takes every little search engine optimization you ever seen, and puts it into a program. The best part again is that it is free. There is a place if you want to donate money if you wish. Check it , its called WEB CEO and here is the link.
