Money 4 blogs 2007-04-14 06:49:00 Money 4 blogs is another site for bloggers to make money with their blogs. The concept is simple enough. Money 4 blogs will pay you to place a small link to one of its financial company in your blog, and Money 4 blogs will pay you via PayPal. The amount you got is determined by your page rank, popularity and age.To apply, you simply go to their site and fill out an application form. They will notify you if you got accepted. From their homepage, it states that only sites of at least 3 months old, written in English, updated regularly with original content, and have no explicit content will be accepted. It didn't mention anything about page rank, but since you need to submit your page rank in the application, it is reasonable to assume that you need a decent page rank to get accepted.There are lots of review on this site in the blogosphere. Among them, I have seen one review from Mike's Money Mission and one from The Million Dollars Experiment heads down under.Check your page rank in h Read more:Money
ReviewMe 2007-04-12 05:01:00 As I promised earlier this week, I will review several sites where your paid rate is determined by your google page rank. Today, I will talk about ReviewMe.ReviewMe is a marketplace for advertisers to pay bloggers to review their products. It is similar to Blogvertise, but Blogvertise charges a flate rate. ReviewMe lets bloggers to set its own price, but it has an internal ranking system that rank your blog based on Google page ranks, technorati and Alexa's ranking.The highest paid review I have seen so far is ShoeMoney's review on HarpzOn.com, which ShoeMoney charges $2,500 for this review. However, according to Baron VC, ReviewMe has a cap rate of $750.ReviewMe's main competitor is PayPerPost, but unlike PayPerPost, in ReviewMe, the blogger must disclose the post is a paid review, and there is no requirement to write a positive review. ReviewMe is backed by TextLinkAds. (Correction: PayPerPost requires Blogger to disclose that they are being paid for the posts too. Please foll
TextLinkAds 2007-04-10 06:12:00 As many bloggers are anxiously awaiting for Google to update its page rank, let me review several advertising sites that accepts only top quality publisher's site in this week.TextLinkAds is a site that pays publishers on a flat monthly rate per each link sold, which is very different from contextual advertising options such as Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher network. When you sign up as publisher for TextLinkAds, TextLinkAds will use its own algorithm to determine if you would be qualified. The algoritham is based on your site'spage rank, Alexa's ranking and number of pages being indexed by search engine.Once you are accepted, you can decide on how many link spots you are offering. After that, TextLinkAds will do all the jobs for you. TextLinkAds will even decide how much you charge your advertisers based on its own internal algorithm. When an advertiser decides to buy your link, the ad will automatically show up in your designated spot.Since TextLinkAds is not contextual adverti

Six Tips for Beginning Bloggers 2007-03-30 06:27:00 My blog is less than three months old, but I already feel like I have written it for a long time. There are many things that I wish I knew before I started writing this blog. I have summarized my experience into six tips:1. Pick a personality for your blogOne of the mistake I made is that I didn't use a believable pen name and a real photo. Blogging is about sharing your personal viewpoint, and a popular blog has to associate with a person. You also need to develop a personality for your blog. All successful bloggers has its unique personal style.Having said that, you don't need to use your real name. You only need a name that is "real" enough for your readers. For photo, you can use a photo that only show part of your face. The most important point is that your readers can associate your blog with a person with an interesting personality.2. Pick a strategy and sticks with itIt is a lot more difficult than it sounds. When you become a blogger, you will start to read other people's b

First Mistake 2007-01-13 05:45:00 This site has over 100 page impressions now, but still zero clicks. Although I am not planning to make money online by talking about how to make money online, I would like to generate some income from this site.I may have made my first mistake in my quest to make money on the web. Google Adsense publishes your average click rate for potential advertisers. Since it is likely that I won't get much traffic at first, it may be better to join Adsense when I have more traffic.I found this site: http://www.checkpagerank.com which will give me my page rank. From some site I read, you can charge about $20 - $50 monthly for each ad., if your site has a page rank of 4.It is a long journey for me. Read more:First

Research.... 2007-01-11 05:25:00 My Adsense has finally started to show some real ads. My site has about 11 page impressions per day. Not bad for a site that barely has any content.Time to get real.... After some research, I found out that there are four ways to generate revenue on the web.1. Selling products on the web.You can use an established auction site, like eBay to make money by selling your products. Sellers can even setup its own store in eBay. There are thousands of books covering different strategies on how to sell in eBay.If you don't have any products in hand, you can create your own product lines through CafePress. CafePress let you create your own unique T-shirts, cards, or gifts to sell. Jennifer Laycock, an editor of the Search Engine Guide, claimed she is able to use the site to make money in 30 days with zero cash.2.

Google AdSense 2007-01-10 01:30:00 My first step is to setup Google
AdSense. Google AdSense is a terrific service for bloggers, especially for blogs that target a particular niche. It frees the blogger from all the hassles in dealing with the advertisers. The service is launched in 2005, and has already generated millions of revenue for Google.I applied for my account yesterday, and has already been approved. So far, it is showing only public service ad. This site is about "making money on the web", which is a very higly sought after keyword. I can expect a lot of competitions.I've been thinking about joinning the Google Referral service.
New Year's Resolution 2007-01-09 02:14:00 The World Wide Web started to take off right when I was in college. Me and several of my classmates have talked about starting our own money making web site. Through many nights in bar, we have come up with many brilliant ideas. Most of our ideas have been implemented since -- by somebody else. It is almost 10 years now, and our web site hasn't even get off the ground. It is about time to get it done for real.Rather than figuring out the right solution, I decide I should just dive into the market and look for my niche. This blog is intended to show you my journey.

What American Idol has in common with Digg.com 2007-04-21 06:35:00 Originally, I planned to wrote a new post on Wedensday, but I was distracted by the American

Sanjaya is one of the weekest singer in the competition, but after watching him beating out other more talented contestants week after week, I thought he will stay for at least another week, but I was wrong.American Idol is a singing competition where it let voters to select the best singer. Digg
.com is a user driven social content website that let members to digg the articles they like. Although they have very differnt goals, I found out that there are a lot of similarities between them:Similarity #1: Popularity contestOn the surface, American Idol is a singing contest, but in reality, it is a popularity contest. Sanjaya is not the first contestant who makes it to top 10 but widely regarded as one of the weakest singer

Result of My Evil Experiment 2007-04-28 05:38:00 Last time, I come up with a evil scheme to direct Komiku's reader to my blog. The result is not impressive. I got about 10 new vistors who is searching for "Technorati top". They all click the Technorati favorite's button. I guess they thought I make it to the top 5,000 in Technorati. I try to be the next John Chow, but end up becoming Dr. Evil -- the guy who has all the evil ideas but not able to finish it. I learn this trick from King Gary's blog. On last Wedensday when Sanjaya got voted out, Gary was the first blogger in the entire blogosphere who blog about it. For a brief moment, Gary's post is on top of Google Blog Search for "American Idol Sanjaya". This brought his blog flood of traffic and also got dugged. Gary is working at b5media.
