1.) Hosting account
2.) Good Domain
3.) Wordpress
These are the basic resources to start setting up the autoblogging process, and of course things will get more complex later down the line.
It’s also important to get a good hosting company, such as BlueHost or Hostgator that can typically offer a large amount of bandwith and unlimited amount of domains that can run under their shared plans. These usually run under about $10/month, and that’s important especially if you plan to run hundreds of autoblogs.
A good domain is vital for any site, and this includes autoblogs. Picking up a name that has a good keyword volume and picking those up in other extensions are good ways of keeping this part cheap and effective.
After getting your domain and hosting, next its time to setup the autoblog itself. This is where Wordpress comes in. Wordpress is so commonly known for blogs that hosting companies like Hostgator even have an automated Wordpress install on the control panel of the hosting account. But, another way to get Wordpress is to go to Wordpress.org and install the script. The process is fairly simple since it involves following easy to follow instructions that are given in plain English. There are plugins in there as well, and these extra plugins could enhance the blog and help search engines find the blog a lot faster. The site is: wordpress.org/extend/plugins.
Plugins:
1.) One SEO Pack
2.) XML
3.) Sitemaps and Twitter Poster

After the domain, hosting account, and Wordpress setup is completed, the last basic step is to start importing RSS feeds. Since autoblogging revolves around the concept of automated content updates, the RSS feeds is possibly the most crucial step, and if done wrong will send the entire process crumbling. A good way to get good RSS feeds is to do it the long way; about 1 hour of research or so.
The RSS feeds search should begin in Google with the desired targeted keywords in the search. In contrary to popular opinion the pages that you should look for are the ones furthest back, and not the first two pages, that is because most of the sites in the back have quality content that is frequently updated.
Monetization; the final part to bringing an autoblog to life, is simple. The easiest way of doing this is by placing good converting Google adsense banners on the pages.

In conclusion, this is a brief summary and ‘how-to’ on setting up an autoblog. With education and a clear methodology autoblogs can provide an effective avenue of profit.]]> Things to Get:

What a wide keyword list does is provide a large amount of related keywords. What a deep keyword list does is have variations of one single and obvious root keyword.

A typical example of a “deep” keyword list would be if you were to promote an ebook on beer, such as home beer brewing. A most obvious way to compile a keyword list is to revolve around these specific terms…much like:

home brewing
brew beer
brew beer at home
how to make beer
home made beer

This list seems fine, but the situation is that this list has a very narrow focus on the highly competitive (higher cost) keywords of “home brewing beer”. Since these are the most obvious words everyone else is likely to use them. So this is an example of going DEEP.

A much more effective method would be to go WIDE. Instead of using the obvious “home beer brewing” you could hit this situation from different angles on the same relevant keyword; for example:

home brewing lager
home brewing stout
home brewing ale
&

lager recipes
beer recipes
stout recipes

Also

how to make Scottish ale
how to make beer

…and trying various combinations of:

how to ferment beer
home micro brewery
how to make irish stout

etc…

The basic idea behind going WIDE is finding the sub niches of keywords that can produce the greatest conversion and traffic. After finding the right ones, you could go really deep in them and find every combination possible of that sub niche.

If a phrase such as, “home brew ale” is the most profitable within a set that you found, a good method would be to expand upon this and find almost every variation of “home brew ale”.

In short, going WIDE is a greater tactic than going DEEP in that you’re attempting to make keywords as relevant to your ad headline and text as possible. So, if a person is looking for “how to make lager”, an ad that is set to “how to make lager” would have a better chance of being clicked on than an ad that reads “home beer brewing”. Thus, doing this will increase conversion and click through rates significantly.]]>

So how does CPA work?

Registering with a CPA network is the 1st step, and afterwards you could pick one or more of the offers available. Offers differ in that there are free ones and paid ones. The paid offers signify that in order to get paid the visitor has to purchase a product or service. The free ones consist of people entering data or performing a general action. Usually with paid CPA offers you can expect to make anywhere from about $5 to $50; thus, the payments are often greater than the free ones. This doesn’t mean the free offers aren’t worth it though, because they can make up to $1 to $5 a lead.

Promote a CPA offer?

CPA is all about traffic. You have to drive masses of traffic to your advertiser’s site. It’s similar to affiliate marketing as well, in that you’ll be given a unique id in a special link…much like Clickbank. Everytime someone performs the actions or buys the product you’ll get paid through the id/link system. However, each offer has its own requirements as to what kind of traffic you can use; whether its search engines, your own website, or social media. Requirements aren’t anything to worry about as the offers usually give this information when you choose to promote.


What’s a CPA Example?

An easy example of a CPA offer would be a banner for a free walmart gift card. Let’s say an ad reads “$1000 FREE WALMART GIFT CARD!!”. That is what a CPA offer looks like. Hypothetically speaking, let’s say you’re promoting this offer, then all that would have to happen for you to make money is for a visitor to click on the ad and put his or her email address in…and you get paid about $1.20 or so. That’s an easy strategy to generate massive commissions over time, simply because “Email Submit”; what this CPA offer is referred to, is amongst the easiest to convert.

In short, making money quickly is possible with CPA. But, CPA is unpredictable, and mostly due to the constant changes of advertisers and their offers. So it’s not likely to take an offer and run with it forever. But a great thing is you can start a CPA offer as fast as the last one. To succeed in CPA, education and the right techniques would be the best way to get better results and make more money in less time.]]>

Typically, ads on Facebook are run daily, and according to the model you’ve chosen; whether it be CPC or CPM, and are set within a maximum daily budget. (The maximum daily budget is a benefit because it disables the challenge of accidentally overspending.)
Overall, setting up a facebook ad is quick and simple , and as stated before there are two methods to go about obtaining traffic. These are Cost Per Click (CPC) or Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM). A great thing about these forms of traffic is your ability to choose a range of options when setting up your advertising account that can target ads specifically to either as direct or as broad of an audience as you would like.

These targeted ads usually appear on a small box in the right sidebar of Facebook pages, displaying information, an image, link, and promotions to the chosen destination.
What Should Be In Your Ad?
Your ads can be made up of a URL; which could be your Facebook page, a website/blog, or any landing page, an ad title (the max being 25 characters), the body text of your ad (the max being about 135 characters), and an image.
Regarding the image, it’s best to choose colors that can attract people to click your ad, but not being too bright or tacky as to offset a potential customer’s interest. The good thing about content and images is that Facebook attempts to make it easy by making suggestions via the link it provides.

Customizing Your Ad:

Getting specific in an Ad is all Facebook Advertising is about. The trick is to be as targeted as possible to ensure better results. This can be done by configuring your targeted area based upon area and audience. Since Facebook is worldwide, you can zero in upon things such as location (country/city), age, their gender, marital status, languages, interests, existing Facebook Friends, and other factors. A great thing about Facebook is it gives you a running reach of your ad; depending upon the demographic you chose, and also makes suggestions for budget/cost. Ultimately, organizing and managing this aspect is based upon what budget is going to be best.

Is Facebook Worth It?

The ROI in Facebook is dependent upon the nature of the product and the targeted audience. A methodical approach should be implemented, like testing, adapting accordingly, and making necessary changes as you see better results. Doing these things is essential if you want to achieve success in any kind of paid traffic medium, especially in Facebook.


It’s important to keep in mind that Facebook is still social media, and so marketing efforts should be information and value driven, because the goal is to appeal to them not to “hard-sell”.]]>

The Internet is growing and becoming much more resourceful each year. Millions of peoples are now coming online to take educational classes, chat with old friends, play online games, or pay their bills. In addition, you also have social sites where millions of people flock to discuss specific subjects such as American idol, Nascar, or Golf. With this in mind, it is clear to see that Internet Marketing is not irrelevant and is becoming more relevant and a possible business platform for someone seeking to escape the rat race.

But there is a “catch”, and that is over 80% of people never get a check of over $100, 15% get the occasional check and the remaining 5%; or the ones who are willing to treat it as a real business, are the ones who get the monthly checks.

Education is Key?

There’s literally dozens of books advertised online on websites that make claims of easy earnings. Most of the programs out there though are what they call “rehashed stuff” meaning someone gets resell rights of other people’s ideas and market them under their own name, or sum up another programs ideas and give it a new name. This is common , but a factor to keep note of.

Despite all books and resources, what internet marketing and making money online boils down to is how to implement the knowhow. No books nor any marketing courses can come anywhere close to pure practical experience. This is the same with any business venture; whether online or offline.

What’s the Verdict?

If you want to make money online learning how to market is the first step. The key is planning and setting up basic strategies that can aim at paid or free traffic, and executing these strategies successfully. The activities with the highest leverage should be key also to anyone looking to go from “0 to 60” online, and these include keyword research, finding profitable markets and partners, and getting information on affiliate networks, guides and a variety of valuable resources.


By treating internet marketing like a real business, applying a business-like mindset to your goals, results, and activities, things will eventually begin to snowball and you will naturally come up with better ideas, resources, and even products that can lead to greater success.]]>

The idea of saturation is essential to picking out the right market, and typically if a market is saturated the chances for profit and success are slim. By going into smaller niche markets that aren’t saturated with competition the chances for success are much greater. A mathematical example could be that if an advertiser aims for a smaller niche with dramatically less competition the clicks could easily fall into the range of 300-500 for under $0.10 a click. The reason for this again is that not a lot of people are going into these markets and so its easier to get the cheaper traffic and the tons of money.

1.) A tracker Software
This is a big tip in regards to increasing Adsense profit, because the installation of an adsense click tracking software does a few vital things for your website.
a.) the software will track the IP addresses from which the users click to whichever adverstisements they click on, and thus stores this info for future analysis.
b.) tracks vicious hits, and reports them to Google.
c.) the click of advertising sites, IP users, the advertisements address, and the clicking on time.

2.) Invalid Clicks and Malicious Clicks
As mentioned in the first strategy, having an adsense tracker can trace vicious hits, such as the clicking on an ad for a particular IP. To prevent your Adsense account from being suspended, it would be vital to promptly report these clicks, and thus tracking them will be of the upmost importance.

3.) Color-Matching/ Number & Color/Adsense Location
The third strategy for maximizing profit in Adsense would be the location of your Adsense. Adsense could be placed on several advertisements to increase your advertising exposure. Of course, the proper location would make a big difference in relation to the users attention and thus the click through rate. For example, the largest pieces should be placed as advertismenets in three blocks and one link advertising, with the advertising being placed on the top of the page in order to get a higher hit rate.

In regards to Color-Matching, it is psychologically tested that a consumer; in this case user, will be more responsive when the colors match in order to form a sort of branding pattern in their mind. For example, McDonalds uses red and yellow, in their sign, in their straws, and in many of their campaign advertisments. Thus, on your website, the background color and text color to the overall color of the site should match, and at the same time it would improve the quality of your user’s browsing experience while enhancing the hits upon your site.

4.) Preventing Through Rules
Preventing an account suspension is of course vital to increasing longevity and revenue through time. Thus, this goes into following the rules of Google Adsense, and that consists of not clicking on your own adsense advertising, and not changing the Adsense code. There are many other rules to follow that will insure the avoidance of having your account banned but these are two general ones that if followed can keep your extra or full time income around longer.

5.) Evidence for Longevity
Lastly, providing your proof to remain innocent. The main reason for tracking your data through Adsense software in the first place is to provide your statistical data in case of an anomaly in regards to advertising hits. By tracking your data, you can always promptly notify Google officials by submitting this data and thus keeping your innocence as an Adsense advertiser.

In short, there are many guidelines to follow and strategies to implement to maximize your Adsense income. As Google has countered many marketers through Google Adwords throughout the years through its slapping of campaigns, it is always a good thing to stay on Google’s good side. Being more effective in Adsense entails attaining and continuing a good relationship with Google. Doing so, will not only ensure longevity as an advertiser but increase the opportunity to maximize Adsense income in the present and future too.]]>

c.) the click of advertising sites, IP users, the advertisements address, and the clicking on time.

2.) Invalid Clicks and Malicious Clicks
As mentioned in the first strategy, having an adsense tracker can trace vicious hits, such as the clicking on an ad for a particular IP. To prevent your Adsense account from being suspended, it would be vital to promptly report these clicks, and thus tracking them will be of the upmost importance.

3.) Color-Matching/ Number & Color/Adsense Location
The third strategy for maximizing profit in Adsense would be the location of your Adsense. Adsense could be placed on several advertisements to increase your advertising exposure. Of course, the proper location would make a big difference in relation to the users attention and thus the click through rate. For example, the largest pieces should be placed as advertismenets in three blocks and one link advertising, with the advertising being placed on the top of the page in order to get a higher hit rate.

In regards to Color-Matching, it is psychologically tested that a consumer; in this case user, will be more responsive when the colors match in order to form a sort of branding pattern in their mind. For example, McDonalds uses red and yellow, in their sign, in their straws, and in many of their campaign advertisments. Thus, on your website, the background color and text color to the overall color of the site should match, and at the same time it would improve the quality of your user’s browsing experience while enhancing the hits upon your site.

4.) Preventing Through Rules
Preventing an account suspension is of course vital to increasing longevity and revenue through time. Thus, this goes into following the rules of Google Adsense, and that consists of not clicking on your own adsense advertising, and not changing the Adsense code. There are many other rules to follow that will insure the avoidance of having your account banned but these are two general ones that if followed can keep your extra or full time income around longer.

5.) Evidence for Longevity
Lastly, providing your proof to remain innocent. The main reason for tracking your data through Adsense software in the first place is to provide your statistical data in case of an anomaly in regards to advertising hits. By tracking your data, you can always promptly notify Google officials by submitting this data and thus keeping your innocence as an Adsense advertiser.

In short, there are many guidelines to follow and strategies to implement to maximize your Adsense income. As Google has countered many marketers through Google Adwords throughout the years through its slapping of campaigns, it is always a good thing to stay on Google’s good side. Being more effective in Adsense entails attaining and continuing a good relationship with Google. Doing so, will not only ensure longevity as an advertiser but increase the opportunity to maximize Adsense income in the present and future too.]]> http://www.2fme.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=99 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:33:14 -0700 http://www.2fme.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=99
But is it really that easy? It can be, but a lot of people falsely bought into the idea that there was a lot of easy money to be made and unfortunately they’re finding out now that their not making as much as they’d like. On top of this, Google has a lot of prohibited practices when it comes to the world of Adsense. Typically, complying with these Adsense policies is a must. In addition, not only do marketers and webmasters have to comply with these adsense policies, but their websites have to also.

There are a few things to take note of when using Adsense.

1.) Dealing with Competitors-

Many of the other ads you’ll notice ; when you start hosting PPC ads, is that of your competitors. Therefore, you’ll want to put ads up on pages that aren’t earning any money. Google adsense does allow you to specify up to 200 URLS for the sites you want to bar from placing on your pages, yet the problem is that most of the time you won’t know that the competitors are out there until their ads begin to appear.

2.) Ad options-

Google offers 3 ways to make money.

-Content- A variety of shape and size ads for placing within your content, these can be text, image, or both. Ad units are full ads, and link units are strips of text links that visitors might want to click on. Google usually allows you to put up 3 Ad Units and 1 Link unit on each page of your site, but of course still following the Adsense policies.

-Referrals- You can make money by referring visitors to use products like Adwords, Adsense, the toolbar, or other software by Google. Google ultimately generates the code that you will use to promote on your webpage, and the way it works is that if someone goes to your site and clicks on the link and signs up for an Adsense account; for example, when that person who clicked earns a $100 payout from Adsense then you’ll receive $100 for referring them.

-Search- Using adsense for search typically works as putting a search box upon your website, and when a user proceeds to put in a search, a results page is opened where more pay-per-click ads are hosted. A good thing about this is that the page that holds the results can too be customized to match the color scheme of your site.


3.) Payments by Google Adsense

A problem may arise in this area because Google will not issue you a payment until your earnings pass the $100 point. Thus, Google can have the opportunity to ban your account; for example, if a marketer reached $90 and didn’t comply with Adsense guidelines to the fullest extent then Google can ban the account before the payout. This is possibly because Google doesn’t look closely into the situation until it comes time to pay the person.

As seen, Adsense is a great program to use and can be a sure-fire way of making extra or a full time income, but there are also details to look into that if ignored can ultimately lead to disappointment on the receiving end.]]>

Although hiring twenty or more people may not be possible for a one-man operation; such as running a internet business from home, it does share the main concept of planning ahead, and that is outlying as to where your business stands and what you need to do to be/stay successful.

A business plan could sound intimidating. Having an army of marketing gurus though to establish a plan for an Internet Marketing process isn’t necessary. All an internet marketing plan needs is common sense and a bit of business intelligence, and these two traits can be attained through some education and experience.

A good strategy is a technique called “micro level planning”, and it’s a technique that will ultimately allow you to know exactly where you are and where you wish to go from your current business status.

Now, the best way to start doing “micro level planning” is to ask yourself a simple question. You can ask any question you may see appropriate, but one generic one could be: “Why am I marketing on the Internet anyway? Is it to increase public awareness? To increase my sales? Or is it to Build a Community?” Then after asking these questions and noting them down it would be a good idea to note down how much of your marketing efforts will be online and how much time will you intend to spend on each of these tasks.

Secondly, another technique is in making a checklist of things that you would like to include in your business that can in turn help the process. For example, what strategies would you implement? Is it using Newsletters, Articles, Viral Marketing, Banners, Contests, or even Forums?

Other questions you can ask are: “What type of analysis will this marketing be subjected to? What is the ROI that I can expect and how am I going to monitor this? What is the annual budget I’m working with, and how will this budget be divided among the various marketing strategies I have chosen?”

In addition, to these techniques of planning your business, also its important to keep in mind the effectiveness of timelines and deadlines. These are equally important because they help to set milestones and due dates for completing certain actions, which can otherwise stretch out for more than wanted if not organized. Not having these two items will signify a risk in falling behind or getting boggled down with confusion within your Internet Marketing plan. So it’s vital to keep note for dates and times on activities, either big or small.]]>

2.) Video To Blog-

This may also lead to existing clients, and casual visitors to spend more time on the blog by learning through the video. The conclusion to this technique is that the more people will spend on the blog the higher chance for converting them into customers.

Often list building can be used to get more traffic, leads, and of course sales for the business/products/services you may have or are promoting.

It is extremely easy to do; but, only if you understand two critical and proven principles.

These two well known principles are the main ingredients to any list, and without them you can find that list building is not as “smooth” going as you may want. So understanding these principles is key to making an effective and successful list that could last for years.

Powerful Elements in List Building:

1.) Free Giveaways- Giving away useful information in free products such as e-books, videos, reports, discounts, and prizes is a tested method for building solid relationships with your visitors and customers. This is seen time and again with offline companies and especially franchises that will have special sales, hold major events, or give away prizes. In fact, giving away free items is the quickest way to build a list because people are looking for value…and something free.

Although giving things away for free is the sure-fire way of attracting more visitors and contacts, many marketers have objected to this act simply because they fear it might attract the “wrong kind” of subscriber or customer. Often this refers to “tire-kickers” or people that will never buy anything because they are looking for a “free meal”.

Attracting “tire-kickers” has more to do with the nature of your gift and the kind of contacts you’re building. For example, if giving away guides to buying the best and latest gadgets or the fastest cars, then this will definitely attract the “buying customers” if done right. The solution to attracting the right customer is to tweak methods by adjusting the marketing to incorporate free elements appropriately.

2.) Value- Any list should include the offering of a valuable relationship between the expert and the subscriber. Subscribers join lists because they are looking for information in a subject they have enthusiasm for, are studying, or have a career in. In short, they are looking for benefits, and so in order to keep subscribers the key is to provide these benefits in the best way possible. An easy way to identify these benefits is to make a list of what someone would want to receive when joining a list, or you could put yourself in the subscribers shoes.

For example, what benefits would be the most enticing?:
- receiving important information
- getting special & valuable content
- getting to participate in forums with like-minded people
- receiving workshops/training videos
- getting updates and timely announcements

Whatever the benefits may be its important to make them the main selling points when building a list.

Besides the two elements of ‘Value’ and ‘Free Giveaways’ there is also a psychological reason to people joining lists.

The fact is that people like to feel included and want to become emotionally involved in their interests with like-minded individuals. This factor is great to keep in mind when building a list since including a comment box or forum in relation to your list can add to its success.

Ultimately, addressing these elements can possibly ensure a loyal list of contacts for years to come.]]>

Are there other ways to bypass Google Adwords or prevent its slap?

Yes.

There are ten ways that are extremely effective and have helped my PPC activities.

1- Make sure your site has a Google Sitemap
2- Always use the appropriate keywords & meta tags
3- Build your site on a blogging platform; like Wordpress. This avoids needing to hire an admin since the account area enables you to take charge of the content.
4- Having pages on your site that include pages such as the home page; which is critical, the about page, and the contact page.
5- Register a good domain name, one that is not too “salesy”.
6- Attach affiliate links to a resources or a contact page.
7- Include an opt-in form, and be clear about what you are offering in this form. Put it in a clear location that can effectively attract visitors to enter their info
8- Have outbound links, links to other articles and/or sites.
9- Include back links w/ high ranking on your sites from social media sites such as Digg, Facebook, and Twitter.
10- Do not talk about money on your site. Money claims; especially the “cheesy” ones, is a great way to alert Google and have them slap your account.


What are great Alternatives to Google Adwords?

Great alternatives to Adwords have been Bing PPC and Facebook Advertising. Facebook Advertising targets the interests of your target audience, rather than a certain keyword, and has also surpassed Google in regards to traffic, offering a much more expansive way to market a product, business, or service.

Google Adwords can either make or break marketing activities, the key is recognizing what Google wants on a site or avoiding Adwords altogether.]]>

Four of these facts are a part of the product description and are as follows:

$ Sales- This points to how much your commission amount will be for every affiliate sale

% Sales- This percentage refers to the percentage of the product sales price $/Sale represents (The $Sales is usually more important)

% Refd - This percentage refers to the percentage of the sales of the product coming from affiliate sales

Grav- The Gravity of a product is a measure of how many affiliates are promoting it. This is usually one of the most important factors in deciding to promote a certain product.

However, the far most important basis for choosing a clickbank affiliate product is the conversion rate. The conversion rate simply implies to how many visitors out of a certain number buy the product. So for example, if 2 out of every 200 visitors to a sales page buys the product, then ultimately you end up having a 2% conversion rate.

The question that can be nagging though is how do you find what the conversion rate for a product is? Well by looking at products in the Clickbank market, you can identify certain key aspects.

1.) “Gravity”& it’s Significance : As mentioned before, the gravity is the measure to how many affiliates are promoting a product. Every clickbank product is marked by a “gravity” number, which is often on the far right, under the product title. This “Gravity” number represents how well the clickbank product is converting for affiliates. Therefore, the higher the gravity number, the better the product is converting. Also, it is important to avoid extremely high gravity numbers as these indicate an extremely high competition, so aiming for a gravity number of (example) 71.43 to 125.22 would be a good idea. This would mean the product has proven itself but the competition is low enough to still succeed in. As well, attempt to find a refund rate that is lower than 3% or 2% as this will also increase the chances of not getting refunds and keeping profit.

2.) Merchant’s Sales Copy: Questions to keep in mind is how good is the sales copy? Will it convert as much as you would like? Are the colors annoying, or are they subtle and engaging enough to make sales and get the point across? Overall, its important to have an idea of the sales page as to whether it will attract attention from the buyers perspective.
3.) Other Key factors in deciding if a Clickbank Product is a great fit:

a.) Make sure the $/Sale is greater than $20. If this number is lower than that it will be tough to profit from techniques such as Google Adwords or other paid advertising.
b.) As mentioned before shoot for gravity that is anywhere between 50 or 70 between 100 to 120. Anything lower than these numbers would indicate that this certain product isn’t popular enough and will not sell well. In addition, any numbers higher than 100 will indicate that this product is too popular and thus the competition is ridiculously high.

Just knowing the basics of the Clickbank MarketPlace can be a starting point in finding high converting products.]]>
Four of these facts are a part of the product description and are as follows:

$ Sales- This points to how much your commission amount will be for every affiliate sale

% Sales- This percentage refers to the percentage of the product sales price $/Sale represents (The $Sales is usually more important)

% Refd - This percentage refers to the percentage of the sales of the product coming from affiliate sales

Grav- The Gravity of a product is a measure of how many affiliates are promoting it. This is usually one of the most important factors in deciding to promote a certain product.
