5 Google Adsense Alternatives

Guest post by Justin Vanhove

Google Adsense is a great tool that webmasters can use to make money with their website. They way it works is you copy and paste a code on to your web pages that Google supplies you with. Then google searches its database of ads and posts them to the web pages you put the code on. You get paid each time someone clicks on that ad. Google and the publisher split the revenue It is referred to as pay per click and is a great way to make money with a website.

However, google is no longer the only pay per click ad network that webmasters can use to make money from clicks of visitors on their site. Google was the first to come up with this method, but recently there has been a rise in ad networks like this. Many webmasters are switching to a different ad network and seeing surprising results. They are earning more money per click.

This is actually not surprising seeing that Google announced last year that it was cutting back the percentage publishers earned per click(translates to Google keeps more of the profit share). This results in publishers making less money since they only get paid when someone clicks. This is why you should take a look into some alternatives to Google adsense.

Here is a list of 5 alternatives to Adsense

1. Yahoo
2. Pepperjam
3. Adbrite
4. Adsmart
5. Chikita

Yahoo is probably the best out of those 5. Many people report that yahoo pays more per click than Google does which is not surprising. What sets Yahoo apart from other Google Adsense alternatives is that it has a large amount of advertisers. This means that a visitor is less likely to see the same ad on multiple pages. This ultimately leads to more clicks which leads to more money. The other small publishers may provide some great short term success because they pay a lot per click since they just got into the game and are looking to build up business.

Aside from making more money you might have a different reason for switching to a alternative. Google is notorious for shutting down people's for click fraud. When someone clicks on their own ads it is called click fraud. When Google things one is clicking their own ads they shut off their account and it is difficult or impossible to get your account back. The bad part about this policy is that often times a sites visitor repeatably clicks on ads to get that persons account shut off. If you experience this you will want to look for a Google Adsense alternative because getting your account reopened can be difficult.

Comment Marketing To Make Money Online

Guest post by Steve Blanchard

Out of all the make money online - comment marketing can end up being a very good one.

What is comment marketing?

Well it's actually been happening a lot since blogging became popular, however, it's where you consistently leave comments on high traffic blogs of your niche and when doing so you receive a link back to your site, plus if anyone clicks the link on your comment, then you will get traffic from that too.

How you should do comment marketing:

• Research who the top bloggers are in your industry. You can simply do this by blog searching sites like technorati or just type in some searches on google and see which sites are actually blogs that come up. These guys are already listed in the first page of google so they have been doing some stuff right to get there. Since they are high traffic this will help you.
  

• Create a list of these sites and begin a schedule that you can follow to begin posting comments to the sites. IMPORTANT: If you can try to be in the first 10 comments. You will have to find out if the blogger posts at the same time every day or every week and if so, try to be the fist commenter because that will give you the most traffic obviously. You will notice that if you are subscribed and you click on their post immediately once in comes into your email that there could be 40 comments already on there - that is because there is a delay from when they actually post to when feedburner or whatever they are using sends out the message to their list.
  

• When commenting: DO NOT SPAM COMMENT! What's that? Well, make sure that you leave legitimate comments about what they posted and you more likely to have your comment posted since most are moderated. So if they are talking about 3 ways to find fish - make sure that you address something in your comment in regards to what was written. This will acknowledge that you actually read some of the post and who knows - you might just learn something that will help you so definitely read the post.

• Evaluate every month which blogs seem to be getting you traffic and also search for new comers that may have popped up on the high traffic scene. You may have to drop a blog that you thought was doing well and start up with another one.

• Be consistent. Again everything is about consistently leaving comments so that you can see the traffic start building a little more and more each week. You will still get some traffic even months from the time you comment if 1) the post was good and 2) You got within the first 10.

If you keep at these methods as another weapon you will drive more traffic and where there is traffic there is the potential to make money online. By the way most bloggers won't care that you are consistently commenting as long as you aren't SPAMMING! This is because it actually helps their ranking because the search engines see more activity on their site - so comments actually help their SEO.

Another positive point about comment marketing is that it actually helps your search engine ranking too. I have seen back links created each time a comment is made on another site, so this will help you and can be very beneficial when starting out.

PPC Classroom will Show You How to Make Money Online!

By Kevin Cleveland

With the economy the way it is and many people getting laid off. People are searching for ways to make money online. I had to go through that this last year. My Father had passed and I had to leave my job of 23 years and move to take care of my elderly mom. I moved from a big city to a little town of about 1500 with no opportunity. I had to get internet based. I had friends that were going to garage sales and selling whatever they could to build their income up on eBay. I thought that just isn't for me.

Besides there probably isn't that many garage sales in this little town. Then I came across affiliate marketing. The more I found out about it the more I realized this is it. This is where the money is on the internet. I did some searching and joined a site. Well that didn't teach me as much as I needed to know. Then I joined another and that one was too advanced. I was having trouble putting everything together.

Well I finally found the right place, - PPC Classroom -. Whether you are just beginning, still struggling to put things together, or an experienced marketer, this is a great online course for you. The class walks you through every step you need to take to start making money online with affiliate marketing (from finding a product to promote, to setting up campaigns for promoting your program or product and generate revenue).

Although this course is focused on affiliate marketing, it is even good for those experienced business owners wanting to promote their business on the Internet. In fact I went to the PPC class live event this last December and found out that there were many businessmen taking this course. I also met several students that were well on their way to making a lot of money. They really know their stuff.

The PPC Classroom was closed three months ago, but it is scheduled to re-open again on 24th Feb, accepting new students. Pre registration is going on right now. I highly recommend you join this online course if your goal is to make a steady income on the Internet. This class can change your life. The PPC Classroom students are now making over 4 million dollars a year. And Yes, most of these were complete newbies at the time when they join in PPC Classroom.

Conclusion
There are so many people out there that just want to give you a piece of the puzzle. These guys are not like that. One of their motto is "If I show you what you want to know, I will get what I want". If you are already an affiliate one rule of thumb is set a goal, "whatever you are making now, multiply that by 10 and set your goal to 6 to 12 months. If you are just starting out in this business, I want to let you know. This will not happen overnight. It takes dedication and takes a while to understand, but I have been with them for three months and going to be with them for a long time. I have come a long way in those three months. I am well on my way. In this business the hardest part is at the first. It keeps getting easier. Hope to see you there, -PPC Classroom-.

How to Write a Compelling Product Review

Guest post by Ryan DSouza

1) Does Your Title Create Excitement?
In order for someone to actually read your review, he/she has to find the title interesting. If you just put down, "my product review of XYZ" no one will care to notice. The title should be an attention grabber. At the same time, it shouldn't make exaggerated claims. One way of doing this is to phrase your title as a question. "Did I really lose weight using Bowflex revolution?" or pose a doubt, "Does Bowflex actually help burn fat or is it just a scam?" This appeals to a person's curiosity and begs for a click. Another way, is to make a statement. " I lose 50 pounds in 3 months using bowflex!" or "Bowflex helped me look young again!" whichever technique you use, however, keep it honest. Avoid using deceptive practices, as it will only tarnish your reputation in the long run.

2) Are you presenting an unbiased Review?
Buyers want to know the truth. They have tried countless e-books, get rich quick schemes, and money-making programs in the past, most of which ended in failure and shortcoming. As a result, they have become more skeptical. Your task as an affiliate marketer is to write an honest, informative, and complete product review. Include BOTH the pros and cons. The whole purpose is to help the buyer make a purchasing decision, by providing YOUR personal experience with the product. So, if you have not bought or used the product, there is no true way of doing this.

Most affiliate reviews on the Internet today are written like infomercials, selling hype rather than experiences. People know this. That's why they look to discussion forums and blogs for advice. If you want to sell affiliate products today, you have to first earn the trust and loyalty of your readers. The only way of doing this is keep your reviews honest. Share your experience, whether good or bad. Give the buyer a complete picture of the product. Don't make him/her feel that you are hiding something out. This keeps him coming back for more.

3) Do You Sound Authoritative and Approachable?
Your review should reflect a certain level of expertise. Offer advice or solutions in addition to product experience. Be opinionated. Include your credentials; honors, and past affiliate income, if any, at the end of the review. This answers the question, "why should I listen to you?" Let the buyer know that you are knowledgeable in Internet marketing. If he/she senses that you are a new affiliate with no IM skills, he/she may leave your website, in favor of more credible sources of information. In that case, take time out to learn Internet marketing. The same applies to personality. Are you approachable? Can the buyer approach you, if he/she has a question? Are you easy to get a hold off? If not, take time out learn customer service.

4) Are You Creating Any Additional Value?
In other words, if the person decides to purchase the product, why should they buy it from you? What added benefit can you provide in addition to a product review. My suggestion is to give something valuable free. This could be an e-book, report, or a free consultation. If your website receives a lot of visitors, the product owner may even be willing to offer a special discount. The main idea here is to create additional value. This is called product bundling. The buyer should believe that he is getting more than just a review.
