Seven - 7 Easy steps to increase Blog Traffic
- Publish good content, fill your blog with spesific theme that will catch people to read and come over and over again.
- "X-change visit" by visiting another blog and ask the blog owner to visit back to your blog.
- "link X-change" - add link to larger blog and another blog which has same topic with yours.
- Join forum and expose your blog. There are so many forum available on the internet, join interesting forum and add your blog-link every time your post a thread or just reply another post in a forum.
- Use tags - tagging posts with descriptive words that describe the post's content in a clear, concise manner you make it easier for your readers to find the content they're looking for and maybe even return to your blog in the future.
- Include images. Blogs that contain line after line of text can be daunting to a new reader, so break up the monotony with photos, cartoons, diagrams or other images that relate to your blog's content - but remember not to flooding your blog with that image.
- Track your blog's traffic. Blog add-ons like Sitemeter or other hit counter services allow bloggers to see who visits their page and where they came from.

Ten Ways To Make Money on Your Blog
1. TELLING STORIES
Don't just stick a bunch of links or photos on your blog. People love to have a story read or told to them. Think back to when you were a child. There was nothing better than to have a bed time story read to you. It's still the same thing. Adults love to hear a good story. It takes their mind off of there own life or problems. Unless you are some big shot reporter, people wont keep coming back to hear what you have to say. Make stories compelling, and, most of all, relatable.
2. CREATE A VOICE FOR YOURSELF
This has everything to do with Branding (which by the way is a huge topic within itself). Find your voice and brand it, whether it's through writing about one particular topic within your expertise such as (travel, dog walking, cooking, etc..) or about several different related topics. People are more likely to remember your blog if it offers something unique.
3. MAKE IT EASY TO READ
That means keeping your visual aesthetics simple. Using bold. or italicized words help draw the eye to a particular point that you want to make. Just don't use bold or italics excessively. You will lose your effect and momentum. Keep your sentences short and concise. Use two spaces between sentences. Nothing is harder on the eyes than excessive writing in bold letters, and runon sentences. OUCH!
4. GIVE YOUR BLOG A PERSONAL TOUCH
It is a lot easier to connect with people on an emotional level if you show a personal side to your writing, rather than some mechanical automated web page. Remember story telling? Let visitors know what's up with you, and how it relates to your topic of conversation. Emotions sell!
5. PRETEND THAT YOU ARE WRITING AN EMAIL, OR LETTER TO A FRIEND
Forget that you are writing an article. Think about when you are writing to your friend by email, or a snail mail letter, and you have some cool information to tell them. Do you address the letter formally as you would a future contact at a large organization, or is the email a lot cozier? Keep it light and watch your viewership rise.
6. PROVIDE ENOUGH INFORMATION
The number one thing that your visitors are looking for is information. Don't let them down. Keep the information simple, and restrict it to the topic that you have chosen for your headline. See # 7.
7. INCLUDE A HEADLINE
Headlines SELL, and it is the #1 way to capture your audience, to continue reading your blog. Spending a lot of time on your headline will pay you back in spades. You can start by checking out top magazines, and newspapers. Save the front page of these publications and put them into a file for further use when you are ready to write your headline. Use these headlines, but change it a little to match your article.
8. GIVE STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Does your expertise lend itself to teaching your visitors about a certain subject (How to do "anything")? People love instructions. This will let your visitors know that you are the expertise in your topic, and hopefully they will want to learn more through education. Educate them, and prosper.
9. REVIEW A PRODUCT OR SERVICE
Don't really have anything to sell? No problem. Write about someone else's product or service, and collect an affiliate income. Write with passion and consistency. People are only going to read if you are passionate about it. Affiliate income is big business, and blogging for income is a great way to make it happen.
10. EDUCATE YOURSELF
Thats Right! If you want to learn "How to Make Money on Your Blog", continue reading, researching, learning, educate yourself. It is the only way to make things happen. Knowledge is irreplaceable. Once you have it, nothing can stop you. Join groups, read other blogs, pay for lessons. Do what you have to do to make it happen.
Auto Responder
An autoresponder can be defined as a program that sends out a single automatic reply in response to an email to a specific email address. Many of us have either received an autoresponder message or used one before. Examples are messages like: "I am on vacation" or "I received your email."
Most web hosts offer this type of single-reply autoresponder free in the email accounts that come with their hosting package. The problem with this type of autoresponder is that it is designed to send out only a simple one-message reply to whatever emails it receives. This is often not enough to maintain the continued contact or to deliver the content you want to offer your visitors. Besides, it also lacks some important features needed to do proper follow-ups. For example, it cannot add prospects to a subscriber list and then send them a series of personalized, follow-up messages.
Why Use an Autoresponder?
According to successful internet marketers, good follow-ups with prospects will dramatically increase the number of sales. First time visitors to your site who requested additional information (or free software or ebook) have an obvious interest in your products or services. But the time may be too short for them to make the decision.
However, it is important to know that these people are your real prospects. They are usually more receptive to whatever messages you send them about your products or services. You must therefore capture their contact information including name and email address and enter them into your prospect database for you to begin the follow-up process.
How to Use Your Autoresponder?
Following are the correct ways to do follow-up using your autoresponder:
- You must follow up quickly with new prospects by sending them a message reminding them about your products or services.
- You must take the initiatives to contact your prospects at regular intervals. Never ignore your prospects or they will go somewhere else.
- You must patiently take the time to establish rapport with your prospects by offering them free help and advice.
- Address all their concerns by answering their queries promptly and accurately.
- You must take time and effort to build the trust and establish value in your products and services.
- You must demonstrate your professionalism and the knowledge you have in whatever you do.
- You must show to them that you have anticipated their needs and you have whatever they need.
- You must convince them that they want to buy from you, and not from your competitors. Demonstrate the value and benefits of your products or services.
- Provide your prospect with the assurance they need about your product or services including your warranty if any.
- Tell them your product is easy to use or install and offer them free additional help if necessary.
- Explain how easy it is to order from your site and how the products or services will be delivered to them.
- Constantly remind your prospects about your products or services and invite them to return to your site for more visits.
Never ignore your prospects just because you do not have the time to personally follow-up with them. Use an autoresponder to automate the tasks and to gain continued access to your prospects.
What do you use an Autoresponder for?
Following are some of the common uses of an autoresponder:
1. Collect Email Addresses
An autoresponder can be used to collect email addresses through an online form or directly from incoming emails, and automatically start the follow-up process.
2. Ezine and Newsletter Delivery
An autoresponder can be used to send periodic ezines and newsletters while automatically accepting and removing registrations. You can use an autoresponder to collect email addresses for your ezine which allows you continued access to your subscribers.
3. Free eCourses or Downloads
You can offer free multi-part ecourses or free ebook/software downloads as an incentive for your visitors to leave their email addresses. A great way to increase your site traffic.
4. Email Reminder
You can send follow-up messages to your visitors to remind them of what you sell and what benefits they get.
5. Offer Related Information
Offer your subscribers information closely related to their topic of interest. For example, if they are interested in cars, they are likely to be interested in car accessories as well.
6. Offer Promotional Coupon

7. Soft Selling
You can "soft-sell" to your potential customers by offering freebies and special information.

9. After Sales Service
Follow-Up with your customers after closing a sale to make sure they're happy with what they have purchased. You can also use this technique to inform them of any new products, services or special deals that you have available.
10, Customer's Feedback
You can use an autoresponder as a way of getting customers feedback. You can send them a thankyou message after receiving their feedback.
11. Post Sales Confirmation
If your product is not an instant delivery product or is pricy, use the autoresponder to avoid buyer's remorse.
12. Up-Selling

16. Motivational Messages

There are hundreds of possible uses of an autoresponder. The list is only limited by your own creativity. So the possibilities are endless.
SEO TIPs - Squeeze Every Cent of Profit From Your Pay-Per-Click Marketing
I love pay-per-click marketing! There are few forms of online advertising that offer such complete control over where you spend your advertising dollars.
But despite the ability to control Google Adwords and Yahoo! Search Marketing gives you over your ads — how much you spend on them, where and when they appear, etc. — I’m constantly meeting savvy Internet marketers who are wasting tons of unnecessary money on their pay-per-click campaigns because they are either…
a) Making "okay" money from their campaigns and too lazy to do the work to make them really successful
– or –
b) They just don’t know any better!
No matter how you’re doing with YOUR pay-per-click efforts, here are 4 tips that you can start applying today to fine-tune your campaigns and boost your ROI.
Tip #1: Keywords… keywords… keywords!
I have yet to come across a niche market for which we couldn’t find that many keywords for the initial round of testing. In fact, the majority of businesses I deal with start in the range of 500-1000 keywords!
If it sounds like a huge challenge to come up with that many keywords, don’t worry.
With tools like Wordtracker and Google’s Keyword Evaluator, you don’t have to come up with the keywords on your own. All you have to do is identify a core list of keywords and then let technology do the work for you.
Now, is every single one of those keywords going to make you money? Nope! Some will bomb horribly.
But I’ll talk about how you deal with that in a second…
Tip #2: Never stop testing new ads
When you first start your pay-per-click campaigns, you should be writing at least five different ads for each keyword group.
Note: a "keyword group" is a cluster of closely related keywords that say exactly the same thing, in slightly different ways.
For example, a keyword group for a site promoting a bed and breakfast in El Paso,
Texas could include:
El Paso bed and breakfast
El Paso bed and breakfasts
Bed and breakfast El Paso
Bed and breakfasts El Paso Texas
El Paso BandB
BandBs El Paso
B and Bs El Paso
B and Bs El Paso Texas
B and Bs El Paso Texas
El Paso bed and breakfasts
B and B El Paso
El Paso Texas bed and breakfast
Bed and breakfast El Paso Texas
… and so on.
(As you can see, the variations between each keyword phrase are very slight.)
Once you’ve written your five plus ads for your keyword group, run them all at the same time. Keep them going until you get enough impressions to determine which one is the winner — and then roll out the winning ad across the entire group.
Congratulations… you now have a winning ad!
But don’t stop now… continue to work on your ads and try to come up with one that will beat your current front runner. If you beat your winning ad, roll-out the new ad across your keyword group and then try and beat that ad.
Then keep on repeating this testing cycle indefinitely, to ensure you’re always running the best possible ad you can.
Tip #3: Design targeted landing pages for each keyword group
Nothing will turn a visitor into a customer faster than a message that tells them exactly what they want to hear. So, if I have multiple keyword groups that target different themes, each ad should be driving visitors to a landing page with salescopy that reflects the theme of a single keyword group.
For example, if different themes an El Paso bed and breakfast owner could try targeting might be:
"family friendly bed and breakfast el Paso" or "el Paso couples bed and breakfast"
The first ad could lead to a landing page that emphasized all of the great family activities available in and around the bed and breakfast, while the second one could talk about how great the same bed and breakfast is as a romantic getaway.
By testing out different themes like this, you can see which theme gets the most sales and focus more of your PPC dollars there!
Tips #4: Detailed tracking
If you want to get the most bang for every PPC buck you spend, then simply tracking the overall effectiveness of your campaigns won’t do. You need to track the effectiveness of every individual keyword if you want to crank every cent out of your PPC efforts!
Like I said in Step #1, you will be starting your campaign with hundreds of keywords. But not all of those keywords will be profitable. It’s your job to weed out the unprofitable ones right away.
There are four different keyword performance scenarios you will encounter:
Keywords that aren’t driving any traffic
After you’ve tested a few different ads to confirm these keywords are ineffective, get rid of them. They’re useless. Even though they’re not costing you any money, they are cluttering up your campaign.
Keywords that are driving traffic — but no sales
This is where a lot of your wasted PPC dollars go! If you find this happening to you, look at your ad and make sure your landing page relates back to the keyword. Does the landing page meet the expectation your ad creates? If yes, then get rid of the keyword. It’s only costing you money.
Keywords that are driving traffic and opt-ins — but no immediate sales
If you are a savvy marketer, chances are you have a good autoresponder sequence that builds a relationship with your subscribers and eventually converts them to sales. If this is the case, I would keep these keywords. The ROI is not immediate, but don’t worry — it will come!
In fact, if you are trying to sell a higher-ticket product through PPC without much success, your entire marketing campaign may be more effective if it’s based around driving leads to an opt-in form or squeeze page and then working up to the sale as you establish a relationship with your subscribers.
Keywords that are driving traffic and sales
Obviously these are the keywords we want to keep… but status quo is not enough! You need to track the conversion of each individual keyword. Some will convert higher than others, which will ultimately dictate how much you can bid on those keyword and still remain profitable.
In other words, if I have a top performing keyword and I am not ranking in the top 3-4 positions, I may want to spend more to increase the position, my clickthrough ratio, and sales.
So there it is! Four strategies you can apply today. If you are already doing all of these, great!
However, if you are missing just one, there is a very good chance you are missing out on sales. And you could end up throwing good money after bad! If you are just getting started with pay-per-click advertising, you can get far more detailed training in my exclusive Search Marketing Lab, which I will let you try for the next 30 days for only $2.95!
Happy "pay-per-clicking!"

10 Power-Packed Ways To Spark Your Sales
1. Spend money on targeted advertising instead of mass media advertising. You don't want to waste your ad dollars on people who aren't interested.
2. Increase your profits by concentrating on small details. Improving small things like text size, color, or graphics can really make a positive difference.
3. Keep your offers flexible. If you offer a set price for your product, you could offer the people that can't afford it an optional payment plan.
4. Offer your knowledge or consulting as a bonus product. You could offer a free 15 or 30 minute consultation. This will add value to your product.
5. Personalize all your e-mail messages so they get read. Include the recipient's name in the subject line. This will grab peoples attention quickly.
6. Keep your web site consistent. You don't want to keep things on your web site that are unrelated to the theme of your web site.
7. Attract more subscribers to your free e-zine by giving them free bonuses like e-books, software, online services and other incentives.
8. Sell advertising space in your e-zine and on your web site. This will create an extra income stream for your business.
9. Make your web site ready for the public. Have an "About Us" page and clear descriptions of what actions you want your visitors to take.
10. Don't just start advertising everywhere, plan out your marketing. Locate places and publications that your target audience would congregate around.
10 Ways To Get New Product Ideas
1. Solve an existing problem for people. There are thousands of problems in the world. Create a product that can provide a solution to one of those problems.
2. Find out what's the current hot trend. You can find out what the new trends are by watching TV, reading magazines and surfing the net. Just create a product that's related to the current hot trend.
3. Improve a product that is already on the market. You see products at home, in ads, at stores etc. Just take a product that's already out there and improve it.
4. Create a new niche for a current product. You can set yourself apart from your competition by creating a niche. Your product could be faster, bigger, smaller, or quicker than you competitor's product.
5. Add on to an existing product. You could package your current product with other related products. For example, you could package a football with a team jersey and football cards.
6. Reincarnate an older product. Maybe you have a book that's out of print and is no longer being sold. You could change the title, design a new front cover, and bring some of the old content up to date.
7. Ask your current customers. You could contact some of your existing customers by phone or e-mail and ask them what kind of new products they would like to see on the market.
8. Combine two or more products together to create a new one. For example, you could take a brief case and add a thermos compartment inside to keep a drink hot or cold.
9. Survey the people who visit your web site. You could post a survey or questionnaire on your web site. Ask visitors what kind of products they would like to see on the market.
10. You could create a new market for your existing product. For example, if you're selling plastic bottles to a pop company, you could turn around and sell those bottles to a fruit drink company.

- Take on as many of your business' chores as you can handle; outsource what you can't. Only you can determine how your business is operated.

- Remember the little things about your web pages really count. Include the title of your site at the top right corner, a description about of your site, etc.
- When you ask someone to sign-up to receive a freebie, don't ask for really personal information. This is a fast way to lose a potential prospect.
- Remember newsgroups are still pretty popular. You could post your ad in ones that allow it or you can leave messages with your sig file include.

The ways to make money online
1. Social networking
It might seem like nothing more than a pipe dream but making money as you trawl through profiles of friends, prospective and ex boyfriends and girlfriends is actually a reality. Yuwie, an upstart social networking enterprise, offers to pay its users as they increase the page impressions of their public profiles, upload photos to share and refer others to join in the fun. All of this is achieved by a proportionate payment structure that sees around half of the website’s advertising revenue – its chief source of income - distributed directly to its user base. Admittedly it’s still early days but with around half a million registrations to date and no shortage of testimonials, Yuwie looks like the real deal.
2. Blogging
There are two ways to make cash through blogging: either by earning commission from advertising banners placed alongside a blog of your own or by engaging in the (slightly dubious) practice of “sponsored” blogging. An array of third party tools is available in the case of the former option; Google’s AdSense remains one of the more popular solutions. Just establish yourself a decent blog, configure the ads and see what happens. Sponsored blogging on the other hand is an altogether more calculated affair, with specialists such as Blogitive and PayPerPost providing a platform through which companies essentially contract bloggers to post favourable content about their products in exchange for cash. Unethical, granted, though nonetheless undoubtedly fruitful for those subtle enough to get away with it.
3. Message boards
Every message board - both small-time niche operation and gargantuan general interest community alike - relies on posts from its members in order to sustain user interest. Newly-created forums are particularly dependent on regular contributions in order to encourage conversations and attract the registration of new members. This, of course, is where you come in. In exchange for a nominal fee of anywhere between £0.01 and £0.10 per post, message board administrators frequently advertise externally for “ringers” to sign up to their endeavours and get the ball rolling. Popular recruiting grounds include webmaster-talk and Digital Point.
4. Stock photography
If you’ve a keen eye for an impressive frame, or even just some half-decent camera kit at your disposal, selling pictures to any one of the plethora of stock photography agencies scattered across the web represents a sure-fire method of generating an income online. The likes of iStockPhoto and Fotolia offer budding photographers the incentive of earning potentially significant sums for their snaps on a per-download basis in exchange for their other royalty payment rights. Predictably, the most sought-after depictions are of a fairly mundane nature – think three-quarter view angles of pretty women dressed in suits – though equally inevitable is the high demand in some quarters for photographs of an altogether more risqué nature…
5. Surveys
As inglorious a means of making money online as you’re ever likely to find, completing market research surveys for cash is time-consuming, invasive and very, very dull. It also happens to be very effective. Opportunities in this field are virtually endless too, with literally thousands of research groups vying for your time and attention. Perhaps the most well known of these is YouGov, whose methodology involves obtaining responses from an invited group of internet users at prices ranging from £0.50 to £2.00 per survey completed. Registration is free and relatively painless, though if you are planning on going down this route, you would do well to create another email account solely for the purpose of survey completion – your personal details are going to be getting bandied around an awful lot.
6. Games
Believe it or not, it is possible to make money simply by playing computer games. Second Life, one of a range of so-called massively multi-player online games, allows users to both buy in-game currency called Linden dollars (a name derived from its creator, Linden Labs) and later exchange any amount amassed within the game back into real-world funds. Ailin Graef made the headlines in 2006 having claimed that her in-game avatar, Anshe Chung, had generated enough resources to allow her to be classified as a millionaire in reality. Other prospects include Moola, which claims to pay players over five million pounds for the straightforward task of winning thirty of its games in a row. Perhaps tellingly, the grand prize is yet to be claimed.
7. Freelancing
If you have a talent – be it for writing, graphic design or even programming - online freelancing will allow you to exploit it for a handsome profit. Services such as Elance and oDesk advertise outsourced remote working opportunities on behalf of thousands of companies and allow members to sign up to assignments according to their desired criteria. Naturally, there’s a catch - said services also take a cut of up to 15 per cent of your potential earnings. Depending on your skills and availability though, there is a lot of money to be made in this fashion, with the fastest-growing fields - like document translation - paying the best rates.
8. Poker
Likely the most controversial inclusion in this list, the online poker world is awash with sob stories of empty wallets and broken dreams from people of all walks of life who just didn’t know when to quit. If you feel like having a go at making some big bucks through gambling, extreme caution is urged. Quite apart from the fact that players need a fair degree of skill in the game to get anywhere, starting small is crucial – only bet what you can afford to lose with a smile. If you are skilled - and lucky - the potential rewards are vast, with some players regularly earning in excess of £1,000 per day. But, remember, the pitfalls are even greater. Texas Hold ‘Em is by far the most popular variant of the game – get some free practice via MSN Games.
9. Selling
A method as old as the internet itself, hawking wares through virtual auctions and shops provides a quick income boost for many students, enabling unwanted Christmas to be disposed of with ease. The obvious starting points are eBay and Amazon Marketplace , though classifieds websites such as Ad Trader are proving increasingly popular. Those of you looking to secure revenue on a more long-term basis will need to source in-demand products and be able to sell them at a mark-up on the price that you yourself paid. One example is “vintage” clothing – cheap clothes with retro appeal are available in abundance at charity shops and can easily be sold to other fashionable students online at a higher price.
10. Doing something crazy
Most truly spectacular success stories of making money online don’t involve any of the aforementioned routes at all. Instead, they showcase brazen opportunism that flies in the face of all logic and reason. Take Alex Tew’s MillionDollarHomepage from 2005 for instance – a website set up with the sole intention of selling pixels at one US dollar apiece to advertisers in order to fund its proprietor’s university degree. On paper it was a ludicrous concept – of course it was - but a 21 year-old Tew soon found himself a certified millionaire. So too did the founders of Doggles, an internet business devoted to selling goggles… for dogs. The point is that, just as in the “real” world, originality paired with good business acumen may potentially reap far greater rewards than any supposedly tried-and-true method of generating cash that you might care to mention. So be creative.

MSF (MySearchFund) Update
From March 17'th, I only got £0.011 for every search i made with MSF.
I try to calculate how much search that we must do to get the Payout amount (£20) in a month.
If the earning is £0.01/search than to accomplish £20 we must have 2000 searches a month.
So every day we must search at last 67 times.
Is that Realistic to do?
I think it's still realistic...
Ok lets say that we could searching 2 times in every minute, so we just need spent about 34 minutes to reach 67 searches each day.
But we must consider the "Fraud" factor (because of too much amount of search in a short time) that could be the reason for MSF to not calculate our searching.
So i suggest to separate your searching time.
For example:
16 searching at the morning (for 10 minutes online), 16 search at the day, 15 search at the afternoon, and 19 search at night.
30 search at the morning (for 30 minutes online) and 37 search at night.
And here i include some FAQ (Frequently Asked & Questions) for MSF and some Payment proof
Q: How does it work?
A: My Search Funds are a UK based company, and the way it works is by collecting revenue from the sponsored links in the searches you do, every search engine is the same, but only “my search funds” split the profit with you 50/50.
Q: When do I get paid?
A: 45 days after the end of the month (minimum £20), they can pay you directly into you Paypal account or by BACS straight into your bank account, or u can choose the cheque method.
Q: What do I have to do differently?
A: It is very easy to get used to, basically all you have to do is set the “my search funds” as your “homepage” on your browser, either on Internet Explorer or Firefox, and every time you want to do a search click on your home page button, and type what you want into “my search funds” search bar, after the first time you do this, it remembers the search in a drop down box, just click on the one you want and off you go, try not to go to websites through your bookmarks as you do not get paid for doing it that way, also if you do a search through Ask search results page, you don’t get paid for that either.
Q: How do I search with “my search funds”?
A: Search for what you normally would, try not to do more than 2 searches per minute, leave a few minutes between searches, try to click through on the sponsored links a couple times a day, because that it how they raise revenue, I do about 60 searches per day, spaced out through the day, “my search funds” employ highly sophisticated detection software to flag abuse of the system, so searches can be disallowed up to 45 days after you did them, if you take my advice though it shouldn’t be a problem, but trial and error is the best way to find out how it works.
Q: How to earn extra money?
A: If you refer a friend you get 10% of what they earn but the money doesn’t come from their cut of the money it comes from “my search funds” cut of the money.

Pay Per Play - Net Audio Ads
What is Pay Per Play(PPP)?
NetAudioAds Pay-Per-Play (PPP) is an online media channel that plays 30 second audio advertisements
like the one you just heard on websites that place the PPP code on their web pages.
Audio ads are only heard on web pages where the website owner has placed PPP code.
PPP audio ads will be contextually related to the text content (readable content) of any web page where
the PPP code is placed. The advertisement you just heard is just a sample ad.
The audio ad is only 30 seconds in length and a website visitor will only hear one 30 second advertisement
per visit to any specific web page where the PPP code has been inserted. The visitor will only hear one
audio ad for every 3 minutes they visit if they have already heard an audio ad on another page of the
same website.
Pay-Per-Play is now in huge demand by major branding advertisers all over the world. As of 12/29/2007
the Pay-Per-Play network has grown to over 6 million websites.
PPP audio ads play as soon as a visitor arrives on a web page where the PPP code is inserted. The
audio advertisement is only heard and not seen and requires no action from a website visitor.
One of the main benefits of running PPP ads on your website is the fact that you never send visitors
away from your site. This allows you the opportunity to continue to earn from your visitors.
But the biggest benefit is that website owners get paid every time their website is viewed. This is a 100%
Pay Per Play - Net Audio Ads (PPP) is set to go live on February 1st, 2008.
If you have any interest in seeing these ads on your site - now is the time to join. There is currently a 5% referral bonus to refer other webmasters as well as 5% of anyone that they refer.
I look forward to seeing this go live - I get excited every time I hear about it.
Pay Per Play was also recently written up in the Wall Street Journal in an article about bloggers earning money with their sites.
This is a free opportunity that is taking the advertising community by storm.
Its a new advertising system using audio. PPP ads ‘ Pay per play or paid per play ‘ are one of those ‘next big thing” ideas and well worth checking out. Net audio ads with voice to page and record by phone ads have teamed up for it. Get in now before the rest catch up :)

Yuwie is grwoing rapidly and it offers you the chance to make money. It pays members for using the site, for every action and activities they take on the site and for every action resulting from previous actions.

Tip #1 - View more pages
Yuwie is activities based. Meaning, you must be very active in order to earn more. Your activities is measured by page views. More page views mean more money. Get your adds and comments up in these clubs and you will have many people viewing them.

Tip #3 - Make friends with Yuwie's world

More friends mean you have bigger chance of other people viewing your profile and Yuwie pages. All this activities performed by your friends and visitors will contribute to your earning.
Tip #4 - Make friends from other places
Make friends from other places like chat rooms and forums and invite them to your Yuwie page by giving them your Yuwie referral link. They will become your referrals and contribute to your earning. Have friends from MySpace or Friendster ? Great, invite them to your Yuwie page. After all, Yuwie, MySpace and Friendster are all a social networking sites BUT Yuwie pays it's members.
Tip #5 - Expand your Yuwie network
Yuwie practice referral scheme! And unlike many other websites that offer referral schemes, Yuwie has no level-limit set so, theoretically, you can attract thousands and even hundreds of thousand referrals, which means every active referrals will boost up your earning.
Tip #6 - Make friends and money on Yuwie
Don't ever think of solely making money from Yuwie. Make friends as well. Good and lasting friendship will help you in your money making ventures beyond Yuwie.
Tip #7 - Put up a presentable photo of yourself as your avatar
Don't use animal picture as your avatar. Don't use somebody else picture. Do not upload naked or nude photo. Put up a presentable photo of yourself at your profile. To be safe, put a smiling photo. Make sure your photo is not in angry or miserable mood. People are more comfortable looking at a natural happy face. In addition, don't put up a super size photo. It will eat up your visitor surfing bandwidth and slow down the display.
Tip #8 - Be considerate with graphics
If you are using T1 backbone or a super fast broadband connection, that's fine. But some members may have a slower internet connection. So don't put fat graphics all over your pages. It will slow down the display on the slower connection and those visitors may just give up on your page. If you want to be fanciful, put smaller images at your friends comments or message page.
Tip #9 - Club together and discussion together
Bring along your friends and join a club. Or create a new club. A club will be a familiar place for you and your friend to stick around together. Create a small discussion group to promote interaction and exchanging of tips, ideas and views.
Tip #10 - Your real view
Give a real view or a real comments. Not a superficial one-liner or one-word. People appreciate an honest and real comment.
Tip #11 - Don't share video or audio
People joining Yuwie to make friend not looking for a home made video. But if situation warrants it, just give the video or audio link to that person.
Tip #12 - Be interactive and responsible
Reply any messages and give back comments or feedback. Don't leave our visitors questions unanswered. And when you give comments, don't be rude. Be courteous and encouraging.
Tip #13 - Make a presentable Yuwie template
I've seen a few out-of-place, out-of-proportion, out-of-tone Yuwie templates. Some pages will very dim, too dark, bad contrast, big font and so on. The sights is really terrible and hurts the eyes. You don't want that to happen lest you want to drive away visitor. If your templates is well liked, share it. If you are not familiar with adjusting the template, use Yuwie default template instead.
Tip #14 - Promote Yuwie Constantly
Promote your Yuwie and submit the URL (Yuwie affiliate link) to blog or site directory. You can also promote your Yuwie URL link in forums, traffic exchanges programs, paid to click and paid to read sites.
Tip #15 - Have fun with Yuwie
Try all Yuwie features and services. Just have fun with the site. It will make you more comfortable and enjoy the practice of social networking.
