Send Away Your Traffic 2008-04-10 23:02:00 Thats right, the Title said , Send Away Your Traffic.You are likely thinking to yourself politely right now (Or at least I hope politely lol) what in the world is this guy thinking? why would I or anyone want to send our traffic away?I was recently reading some forums and saw others debating on this technique. I then googled and found other articles and forums debating this practice as well. In short, send your traffic away via a link to related content on another bloggers site within your articles. Why? To increase your traffic! No I didnt trip on the way home from a walk or get in a car accident, and no I dont have a fever.The theory here is simple. If you blog about what other bloggers or "competitors" within your own niche are writing about and point your own readers to these other bl
You've Tried Pay Per Click, Now Try Pay Per Play! 2008-04-10 20:35:00 Everyone is familiar with pay per click types of advertising and many make astounding amounts of revenue based off their pay per clicks advertising. Google Adsense likely the best and most well known entry. The only downfall with pay per click types of advertising is your site normally has to have an extremely large visitor rate for you to get decent sized click through rate in hopes of turning some of those visitors who click on the adverts, into revenue. Or just getting clicks for your in text links or whatever program it is you are running in hopes of monetizing your website and or blog. But what if you could simply be paid for each and every visitor who stumbles across your website, regardless of how many times they come to your site, whether or not they come back now, 5 days from now, Read more:Click

Adsense Adds Sliding/Scrolling Feature 2008-04-08 18:57:00 Many have noticed that Google's Adsense
Contextual ads for the last week have had an extra added feature. A scrolling, or clickable arrows section which let the reader manipulate the ads to show "extra" ads that would not have prior, been shown.This has been in the works for awhile and after 3 months of testing was given the green light to be the "norm". As of April 2nd, this new feature was officially announced and released in their blog.For those that are wondering, clicks on the ‘next’ and ‘previous’ buttons won’t generate earnings, but these buttons will help improve both advertiser value and your potential revenue.When users click on the buttons, they begin interacting with the ads and are more likely to find the specific offering they are looking for, which can be good new Read more:Sliding

How To Make Kontera Links Single-Underline 2008-04-08 01:33:00 Kontera Content Links are Double Underlined and are done in this fashion so that they can not be mistaken with normal hyperlinks. They were designed to stand out so that readers would know this was an advertisement.But some sites are now making these links single underlined links to make it more attractive for visitors to click and thus earn the publisher more money. I personally think this is a tad on the trickery side myself, but it is possible. As well search engines will follow these links as well. I'm not sure if that counts as a click.All that needs to be changed in your code isvar dc_single_line = 'yes';So although this may help you get more of your visitors to click on your Kontera links, you may also upset them. So do heed warning before implementing this on your own website and o

What is a Ping? And Where Do I Ping? 2008-04-19 23:35:00 What Does it Mean To Blog Ping?If you own a blog and want more traffic to your blog then you will most likely want to use a blog ping. A 'ping' is simply an Internet program that sends a message to another computer in order to generate a response. Think of it as a telephone call, where you call your friend to ask if they are at home and still live there and everything is still going well.It used to be that computer technicians were the ones who used "Ping'ing" as a means to solve technical problems. Things like traffic problems or slow connections often need the aid of a Ping to map out the problem. But now with the advent of blogs, and the exponential growth of these blogs. Bloggers have been using various services like Technorati, Google and many others to increase their traffic and read
