How to make easy money from a blog
Saturday, February 3rd, 2007I’ve just been looking around the web for ideas to Sell Ad Space and came across Text Link Ads.
Text Link Ads works by allowing you, as a publisher, to sell space for Text Link Ads on your blog.
This has a value to advertisers because the Text Link Ads create a back link for their website and also will give them some traffic which they can convert into paying customers - a win win situation.
Text Link Ads seems to allow anyone to sign up as a publisher but there is then an approval process for each page of your website that you wish to display the Text Link Ads on.
I’ve just signed up to Text Link Ads and am now in the process of considering which of my pages, on my many websites, that I wish to submit for approval. I must say, that this is a disadvantage to using Text Link Ads because I am used to the easy insertion of Google Adsense code to my sites which allows for the same code to be used on any pages and any sites belonging to me (subject to the Google Adsense terms and conditions, of course).
Will post more, if I make any money from Text Link Ads or even decide to go with them.
Ten Essential Social Bookmarking Sites
Friday, February 2nd, 2007OK, I have been researching Social Bookmarking sites, for my websites and blogs that I publish.
Here is a good starter list of social bookmarking sites with traffic overview.
The benefits of social bookmarking for a blog/site owner?
You can post your own links to your stories and pages and hope they are thought good enough to be voted on and/or stored by the communities. You MAY get new visitors, and in any case it can be useful to store your OWN bookmarks online.
- Delicious: One of the biggest - if you do nothing else, list here.
- Digg: Tech focussed and very busy. Essential to bookmark here if your website fits into Digg a category.
- Netscape: Busy general interest bookmarking site.
