1. How to setup your Blog

Ok to make this work you have to get a blog but not just any blog, you'll need to go to Blogger.com, register & create a blog there, before you go and do that think about a topic/name for the blog – this is very important, eg: CATS, cats is a great topic because there are millions of people interested in cats and you can create a huge blog on this...

-Big Cats – Title
-Big Cat Food - Posts
-Big Cat Problems - Posts
-Big Cat Claws - Posts

these will be your "posts" titles and then you will add content to match, also the name you choose for the blog should go like this... using example of Big Cats above you would make your blog url look like this...

http :// ilovebigcats . Blogspot .com <<

this is exactly what you want your blog url to look like, making sure you have the topic/name in the url. Once you have signed up, registered & picked the template you want to use you will need to add content to your blog...

2. Content for your Blog.

So now you need content, have you ever heard the saying content is king, well thats the truth and thats how search engines pick your tiny little blog up and virally spread it all over the internet, Just 1 really good story can make you a lot of money thats why i highly recommend writing your own content. Plus these are real people looking through your blog so try keep it real as possible or you'll just lose the traffic your working for.

If your lazy like me and want to speed the process up and start making money fast go straight over to enzinearticles.com and grab your content from there, any subject you can think of they have it so get to it, if they do not have what your looking for type into google “get free articles” and you can search through there, there are millions of article directory sites out there that are wanting to give you content, I highly recommend using ezinearticles because the content is very good and the search engine love it and when the search engines love they start sending you traffic. Trust me these articles really pull traffic but you must ping your blog every time One more tip, these articles you pull usually come with keyword make sure you put those keywords in the tag part of the blog. Traffic = Money

"Tip" Also for SEO purposes place your website links in your blogs, go to layout - then go to sidebar, click add page element then choose html/javascript then add the link and a comment using keywords you use for you site, example: makingbigcash.com - Learn how to make money using free step by step information. This will provide you with a backlink to your website.

3. Product & Money for your Blog.

How will you make it? Where's it gonna come from? How 2 Place the code?
Get Started...How you will make it?

You will get paid per click, whenever someone clicks on your ads (the ads you place on
your site from from BidVertiser. Bidvertiser pays from 0.5c - $2.00+ or you can get paid for CPA offers this means you can get paid per lead, CPA offers known as Cost Per Action, is when someone signs up for a advertisers offer you will get paid for the. But for now while your learning will stick with BidVertiser

Where to sign up?

Ok if you only have a blog i suggest you sign up for BidVertiser you could sign-up for Google Adsense but sometimes its harder to get approved. If you already have an account with Adsense you can use them aswell, but do not place on the same page this could cause you to get banned.

Lets Get Started...
So to get started head over to BidVertiser.com, sign up to become a publisher & register. You should receive a verification email soon, as soon as you have it and you are registered you can go in pick a ad and then place the ad code into your blog have step by step information over there to help you set this up, now all you will have to do is add the HTML code from Bidvertiser ads to your blogger blog.

How to Place you code into blogger...

To insert the code, sign into your blog, you should see your “Dashboard” of your blog/s then you need to click Layout – After you have clicked layout you should then see “add a page element” Click it – Next look for “HTML/JavaScript ” click add to blog and enter the code you got from Bidvertiser.

If you use adsense i recommend you do the same as above and do not let blogger automatically get the code for you, go get it your self and add a channel so you can see which blog is getting you the clicks.

-So say you get 1000 visitor to your blog for the month and 400 people click on a ad that pays 0.40c that would equal to $160.00 cash free that gets paid straight into your paypal account. If you want more money i recommend heading over to clickbank.com there you must register once again and they have a huge range of ebooks you will be able to sell them. You will become a affliate of there program, which pays upto 75% commission so if a product was selling for $100 you would get 75% which is $75 cash. Bidvertiser pays via – Paypal when you reach $10 & Clickbank pays via – Check

In a simple way, SEO or Search Engine Optimization for blog is a technique to maximize your blog page rank in search engine. More higher your blog position in search engine (example : Google search engine), the chance to get more traffic to the blog is getting bigger.

In SEO, there are two important things you must consider:
1.On-page optimization
2.Off-page optimization


On-page optimization techniques:

A. Blog Attribute, includes :
-Domain name
The domain name is the URL address of your blog. Although the role has in SEO, but at this time a domain name is no longer considered as the main element of SEO. This means you do not need too obsessed to enter the keywords as the domain name. It will be better when you try to create a catchy domain name, easy to remember and easy to be vocalized.

-Blog name
Blog name can be the same, but can also vary with the domain name of your blog. In SEO, the blog name has an important role. It is good ideas to create your blog’s name in accordance with the keywords you choose. However, do not create a blog name that is difficult to remember, too generic or too long. A maximum of 80 characters only.

-Meta tag
Meta tag is a summary of contents and keywords in your blog. Long description meta tag should be no more than 80 characters.

-Layout and blog design
Blog design and layout (theme) has important value in SEO. Most blog platforms at this time has been a SEO-friendly. However, as a key, you must review the structure of the code. That the content must always be at the top of the parts rather than the other.

-Image
In SEO, the picture will be a value attribute, especially for images search results through search engines. The length of the image attribute should not more than 40 characters.

More accurate the number and the choice of keywords used, the better chance search engine optimization can be given.

High density or the number of keywords depends on the length of a short article. However, as a guide, in each article must have at least 2-5 keywords. Too many keywords in an article would give a negative effect because it likely will be considered as spam by the search engine content.

-Keywords Variation
In addition to the amount, the key factor is SEO keyword variations. When writing the content, the keywords should not exactly the same and just re-started again. Instead of a re-repeat the same words, would be better if you write variations or synonyms of keywords. This is in addition to prevent the stigma spam content by search engines, will also enrich the keyword.

-Keywords Position
As a guide, the position of your keywords should be in the first sentence in the first paragraph, and in the last paragraph. However, it's good that the content of the article remain natural, keyword body parts scattered on the article itself.

Samsung Eternity a867 Phone Black


I just recently purchased the Eternity to replace a Sony Ericsson W580i (great phone, not without annoyances though) and so far this has been a very good phone! I was almost going to take it back because it doesn't have some features I wanted, I was going to purchase a Fuze in its place at a couple of hundred bucks more. Here's why:



I wanted a handset that had 802.11b/g, not a deal breaker since I have a Nokia N800 if I want portable web surfing and e-mail, but it would be nice to have a single device that covers that purpose, the Eternity clearly doesn't have Wifi, but it is a 3G capable device and because it's a " dumb " phone, you can stay on AT&T's 15 dollar unlimited MediaNet plan. Which leads me to the other reason why I chose to keep it.



I wanted a handset that could at least let me view MSOffice docs and spreadsheets, PDF's and was capable of being a media device for short trips and times when I don't feel like carrying a seperate device. I was pleasantly surprised to see it has an unadvertised feature. You can view MSOffice docs and PDF's through Access (think NetFront Browser) and they can be viewed landscape or vertical, zoomed, etc... Very nice surprise feature! Makes this " dumb " phone a little better than the iPhone, especially when you factor in the 3.5mm headset jack, the 8gb MicroSDHC and the countless free J2ME apps like Gmail, GoogleMaps, and Opera Mini that you can install for free. Plus, the accelerometer works well, the haptic feedback is great, although the onscreen keyboard can be tricky at times. Overall, there is very little to dislike about this handset. I wish it had a flash on the camera, which is stellar in decent lighting and has some cool features, like a six frame panorama stitch. I also some of the Java apps used the accelerometer. The widgets are a nice touch and I personally like the uncluttered look of the home screen. If you want a solid iPhone alternative, look no further, or just looking for a killer non WinMo phone that does just about everything a normal, non business-centric person would need, check this one out!

3 Ways Simple SEO

This is probably the reason that none of the "gurus" ever talk about search engines, except for pay per clicks, as a way to develop real traffic to your site. The problem here is that the cost of pay per click can quickly become prohibitive.


However, if you want to send tons of TARGETED traffic to your site, and do it for years to come, there are three ways that work and will always work if you apply them consistently.


1. Search Engine Optimization
This is the first place you need to start. Learn how to actually optimize your site for the search engines.


When you optimize your website for the search engines, you're not actually optimizing your site for your keywords, you optimize individual pages. This gives you a lot of flexibility because you can optimize different pages for different keywords. What's most important here is to make sure that you optimize your pages for the right keywords.



The easiest way to do this is to do a search for your keywords. There are plenty of searchy tools available on the internet, but one of the best is Good Keywords, It's also free. It will also help you find related keywords and keyword combinations.


The more times a keyword is searched for, and the fewer the pages there are in the search engines for a keyword or keyword phrase the better the keyword.


2. Site Maps
There are two types of site maps you should be aware of.


The first type is a list of everything on your site. This is primarily for humans visiting your site, but it also makes it easier for all of the search engines to spider your sites because your links are all listed on one page.


The other type of site map is an xml file. This type of site map will help you in getting spidered by Google. However, if you can get a good thorough spider by Google, then you'll be able to get easily spidered by other search engines because they spider one another.


You can get more information building site maps at Google.com. They also offer plenty of free tools and scripts you can use to easily build a site map.


3. Linking
Building links to your site will help you because you'll have more places on the internet where you can be found.


However, it isn't good enough to have lots of links pointing to your site. You need relevant links, that is, sites that are related to, and complement, your site.


I recommend that you apply the rule of five here: try to add your site to at least five new sites per day. At the end of the year, you could have over 1,500 links pointing back to your site.


You can also use a site like Link Metro,. Although you can get a lot of link offers here very quickly, you want to make sure that you only choose sites that are related to yours and that your link isn't buried somewhere on the site. You shouldn't have to click more than twice from the main page in order to find your link. If you do, even if the site is related, reject this link because it probably won't do you any good.


Although search engine optimization can be an involved marketing technique, it's free, and it will bring targeted traffic to your site. Choose classic search engine optimization techniques that always work, and you can quickly raise your rankings and drive targeted traffic to your site.


You can get a lot of targeted traffic from the search engines. Use these three technqiues to quickly and easily improve your rankings now.

3 Mistakes in Affiliate Programs

Nowadays, affiliate marketing has become one of the common and effective ways to make extra online revenues. Anyone who plans to create money online can think about seeking affiliate marketing. Since most of the affiliate programs are free to join and paying sale commission on a regular basis, more and more people are now entering into affiliate marketing industry.
However, like other businesses, there are downsides in affiliate marketing business. Making mistakes in affiliate marketing will mean making losses in term of money and time. So it is critical for an affiliate marketer to know how to avoid mistakes or he will regret later. Below are the 3 mistakes that affiliates commonly make:


1. Select The Wrong Affiliate Program

A lot of people want to make money from affiliate programs as quick as possible. In their hurry, they tend to choose a hot product without actually thinking about whether the product appeals to them. This is not a very wise move obviously. Instead of picking the affiliate product that you know nothing about, try to look for a product you are passionate about. You should take some time to plan and figure out your actions before investing money in advertising.

Do a little research on the product you are interested to find out the product’s demand. Marketing an affiliate product that appeals you is easier than promoting the one that for profit only.



2. Promote Too Many Affiliate Programs

There are tons of interesting affiliate programs on the Internet and they are free and easy to join. This could attract you to join multiples of affiliate programs to maximize the affiliate commission you can earn. There is nothing to lose to join many affiliate programs. In fact, this could be a great way to have multiple sources of income. But the problem is joining too many affiliate programs will stop you from focusing on each one of them.

Often the result produced isn’t as expected. You might even suffer a loss due to promoting too many programs at the same time. To generate good result, you should start off with one affiliate program. Try to choose a program that pays more than 40% commission. Then put your best effort to market the product. Once you are making a steady profit with the product, then maybe you can look for second affiliate product to sell.



3. Selling The Affiliate Product without Testing It First

The main job of an affiliate is to effectively promoting the product to the customers. One of the important things you must know is that you need to promote and recommend your affiliate product convincingly to the potential buyers. You should also create a desire in your customers to avail any of what you are offering. It is hard to generate any sale if you fail to do both.

If possible try and test the product personally before really signing up the affiliate program to find out whether the product is as described by the seller. After experiencing the product yourself, you will then clearly know about the pros and cons of the product. If the product is good, you can confidently recommend the product with a convincing review to your potential buyers. This will trigger them to try the product themselves.

You should try your best to avoid falling into the same mistakes made by many affiliates as mistakes will lead to losses.
