Pay Per Click monetization of your WP Blog

PPC Providers for Publishers

Pay per Click (PPC), sometimes referred to as Cost per Click, is an Internet advertising system where advertisers pay blog or website owners for “leads.”

A product owner or service provider will have an advertisement that promotes their goods. A blogger puts a copy of that ad, or a link to it, on their blog. When a visitor to the blog clicks on the advertisement the blogger gets paid by the product owner or service. Payment is made regardless of whether a sale is made or not.

Tracking clicks and ensuring there is no click fraud takes some pretty sophisticated software, which makes running an individual pay per click operation a bit advanced for the normal blogger. However, there are PPC providers who make this model of monetization possible for mere mortal bloggers.

PPC Providers for Publishers

PPC Money Google Adsense got its start in the late 1990s. It actually started as only a search engine. It was such a good search engine that it became the primary search engine on the internet.

Since searches were free Google developed AdWords. AdWords is the system that produces the advertisements in Google’s search results pages. Advertisers paid Google for prime placement of their ads.

Google saw they could get more ad exposure by letting bloggers and websites display ads. Adsense was born and blog/site owners were paid an undisclosed percentage of Googles AdWords fees.

As with most good things some not so savory characters started to “game” the Google system and Google went on the offensive. Many Adsense accounts were closed and the rules tightened.

Most bloggers find that their Adsense earnings amount to a nice additional income. It is rare to earn a job replacing income from Adsense alone.

 

Chitika Advertise network Chitika charges advertisers to be featured alongside your site’s content. At the end of every month you are paid based on the previous month’s earnings. Payments are sent after your account earns at least $10.00 for PayPal payouts or $50.00 for checks.

Chitika ads are not contextual they are search targeted. Contextual advertising is a form of targeted advertising in which the content of an ad is in direct correlation to the content of the web page the user is viewing. Search targeted advertising is a type of advertising where ads are placed to reach consumers based on various traits such as demographics, purchase history, or observed behavior. Since Chitika ads are search targeted you must know your readers for optimum click through.

Chitika works only with US and Canada based visitors, so your international traffic is just ignored.

Chitika has variety of ad sizes and formats. They offer a list format where maps or images are automatically displayed alongside the ads. This is a real plus if you have a site that may benefit from location based ads.

 

Logo Bidvertiser Bidvertiser is a pay-per-click advertising network that works a bit different from other pay-per-click programs. You make money from clicks and conversions. You get paid for every visitor that clicks on an ad and extra revenue if the click turns into conversion.

Ads look too much like AdSense ads and apparently you are not allowed to run both programs on your website.

Bidvertiser has a good reputation, the people running Bidvertiser work hard to keep the advertisers and the publishers happy.

Bidvertiser pays but has one of the lowest payout in this industry but at the same time it is consistent.

 

Clicksor Network Clicksor.com Inc. is another leading Contextual Advertising Network (PPC).

You can earn up to 85% revenue share, depending on the performance the advertisers reach from your Web site ad placements.

Payout is every 15 days via check or PayPal. But, no payments will be issued for any amounts less than $50US. Any publisher payment that is unclaimed 6 months after the issue date will not be compensated”.

 

Pay per Post monetizing Strategy

We love to give our opinions, don’t we? And, just as true, we rely on other people’s opinions to give us insight when deciding on which big screen T.V. to buy or who we have work on our car.

Twitter reported that 34% of bloggers post opinions about products, brands and services.

The principle idea of pay per post is to bring something very popular to something highly sought after and make a win/win situation.

Pay per post is an advertising program that works by bringing advertisers and bloggers together. The advertiser pays the blogger to write reviews about their services or products and post those reviews to the bloggers site. The blogger gets paid for the review and the advertiser gets another promotion for their product, as well as a link to their website.

You write the review in your own tone. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but rude or hateful reviews will usually be declined.

Pay per post sites or services give writers and advertisers a meeting place. They give them a place to come together and negotiate.

After the advertisers and writers agree to terms, payment is made by the advertiser to the pay per post site. The advertiser gets their review and the blogger gets paid (by the pay per post service). The pay per post service collects a cut of the earnings for their efforts.

Payments range from as little as $2, to as much as a $1000.

$1000 is a pretty good ‘extra’ income, wouldn’t you say?

5 Top Pay per Post Sites

SponsoredReviews.comSponsored Reviews works in two ways, you can create a profile of your blog to attract advertisers or you can search for advertisers and bid on jobs.

The ability to find your own customers is a favorite feature for many bloggers who go to Sponsored Reviews.

Sponsored Reviews pays publishers with PayPal every two weeks, and they are always on time with the payments.

Some blog owners don’t like that you are required to keep the review on your site forever. Truth be told they should be glad to have the extra content.

One other distraction for some bloggers is that in order to land any jobs worth doing you will need at least a page rank of 3 on your blog.

 

paid blog networkBlogsvertise has been in business since 2006. Blogvertise declares their payment rate for new blogs/accounts is $4 – $25 per entry. Most fall in the range of $ 5-$15. They say that payout rates vary and are often based on the popularity (i.e. traffic) of the blog. Traffic is measured by an independent third party.

Payout, which can be made through PayPal, comes 30 days after your assigned task has been approved.

In my research I only found one person who claimed they were dissatisfied with Blogsvertise. The complaint was that each time they called support they had to talk to a different person. Compounding that frustration was that several times the answers conflicted with an earlier conversation.

 

Linkworth NetworkLinkWorth products include text link ads, paid blog reviews, in-text links, in-content pay per click ads, rotating text ads, hosted content pages, article submission, directory submission and many more.

Bloggers who use LinkWorth for paid blog review say they like how easy it is to register and get their blogs accepted.

Another plus that many like is the no minimum earnings for payment. In other words even if you only earned $5.oo this month you will be paid that …………$5.00.

The most common complaint against LinkWorth is that the many advertising opportunities it offers can make navigating around the site difficult and confusing.

 

Paid review SiteReviewMe pay a minimum of $20 and up to $200 for writing a review. The rules say that blog posts should be a minimum of 200 words, but the average accepted review is 300 words.

One big plus for ReviewMe is that you are not obligated to write a positive opinion. You will still get paid for the review if it’s negative.

The most common complaint is that at first it is hard to get your blog accepted. But, they give you some great advice on how to improve your blog to get it approved.

ReviewMe will share a whopping 50% of your earnings; however they do pay a minimum $20 which is better than most other services.

 

Content Exchange networkSocialSpark claims, “Our mission is to empower everyone to value and exchange content, creativity and influence.”

SocialSpark pays by a “point” system, which at first may draw concern. But the conversion is $10-$60 for a 300 word blog post. You’re paid your points 30 days after your review is accepted. You can then convert your points directly in to cash and receive payment via PayPal.

The only complaint I saw was that IZEA is very particular. There is a certain code that must be placed in the post that is sometimes confusing to configure. However, IZEA support will help you get it right.

101 Ways to make Money from your Blog

Money online

Let’s be honest blogging is great fun. It’s especially fun if you are blogging about something near and dear to you. Add making money from your blog, and you have a combination that’s hard to beat.

If you’re like most bloggers you want to make money with your blog. The good news is you can. It’s possible to earn a couple hundred dollars a month, some even replace their job income.

Truth be told it’s unlikely you’ll earn a fulltime income overnight; heck you probably won’t do it next month. But, if you treat monetizing your blog like eating an elephant, one bite at a time, you can reach your income goals rather quickly.

There are two general ways to make money with your blog; through your blog or because of your blog.

You can blog by taking paid advertisements or selling products and services. You can make money because of your blog by being hired for writing assignments, speaking engagements, or you might be given a new job.

This guide will show you many different ways to make money with your blog. Pick a couple, mix and match, and you’ll be making money in no time.

Since today I will reveal a series of blog posts that tell you how to make money. Follow closely and you will learn how to make money with blogging!

 

Advertising

One of the most lucrative ways to monetize your blog is by selling advertising space. Selling your own ad space gives you the advantage of setting your own rates and cutting out the middleman (which puts more money in your pocket.)

Before you rush out selling advertising there are a couple things to consider; first you must have a large audience in order to get qualified advertisers. Second, it takes time to manage sales, payments, ad design, placement etc. If you aren’t an experienced online marketer and blogger you will save a lot of time and money by using one of the many advertising services available to monetize your blog.

For a small share of your commission an advertising service will take on the administrative headaches and marketing woes so you can concentrate on blogging and making money.

There are several types of ads available for you to put on your blog. The most common are pay per post, pay per click (PPC), cost per impression (CPM), and text-link ads.

[box type="info"] How to use as real Killer Conversion Affiliate Plugin![/box]

I had some thoughts about this and how I could use it for my niche websites. And finally I got it! There must be a way to opt in my own links in the Ticker to get the full power. Why not write a nice Title an link to my affiliate offer? But how to do that? Just do it like this:

Setup your customized affiliate Ticker:

  • install& activate Latest News Ticker Plugin – Pro

  • click “show Title” and enter something like “Deal of the Day:”
  • I suggest you make the Fonts all Caps

  • install& activate “Page links to“ Plugin – FREE
  • create a new category which is NOT linked in your blog navigation
  • set up 5 to 20 affiliate links in your niche (Amazon, Clickbank or any others), how many you need depends on how many posts you show in your Ticker
  • create one new post in your new category for every affiliate link, give it nice Tags and a SEO description but most important a Title like “Buy red carpets at 20% discount!”
  • copy& paste your affiliate link in the custom Field that the “Page links to” plugin gives you
  • go back to the Ticker Plugin and choose your new category to show up in the News Ticker

Now you’re done! As result of this effort you now have a custom Ticker on your page that shows offers related to your product (The post Titles you created) and if somebody clicks on the Ticker he will be send to the offer Page like directly to Amazon or any other vendor! This will give conversion rates like hell!

If you do not want to use this as an affiliate plugin, it is still very useful. Maybe you could make a category for your older posts to keep them in front of your visitors. This can be a huge SEO benefit as well :-) There are loads and loads of different opportunities to use the “Latest News Ticker” Plugin.

If you have further ideas on how to use this Plugin feel free to leave a comment! I would be happy if you link to this page from your blog or share it with your list if you liked it.

Backlink building on your Website – very important!

Backlink Picture

Importance of backlink building on your website

Most companies bank on their website to generate traffic and also generate leads for the website. The best method for making this approach successful is through getting higher search engine ranking. Unfortunately, there is no magic solution that can guarantee you with higher ranking in search result. The ranking of your website mostly depends on the popularity of your website or in other words the traffic you are able to generate through it. The best known method known for this purpose till now is using a good number of links that point to your website. This in other words is known as backlink building. There are several ways that you can do this.

There are many different websites that allow you to not only post content but also include backlinks to your website or blog. Finding the right website that matches your business for this purpose is the key. If you write quality articles related to your business or even your domain of business there is a good chance of becoming an authority in your field. This approach can also provide you with a strong web presence. You need to make sure that the content that you create for the articles is genuine and not plagiarized. Search engine ranking is higher if the content is original. You need to ensure that you use a resource box at the end of the article to gain recognition. If the content is appealing enough then most visitors will click on the link to your website.

An online presence is incomplete or fragile if you do not get your website registered in directories. There are several directories that are available on the internet that allow you to submit your website for free, the only drawback here is that most of these directories take a few months to approve your submission. You should try to find relevant directories to your business instead of submitting your website to several different directories.

You can also use social network as a good tool for backlink building. The best thing about social networks is that there is very little restriction, thus you can add backlinks to your website easily. Whatever you share on a social network can be accompanied with a backlink to your website. Social network can be effectively used to reach out to your niche market.

Another way of creating backlinks is through writing news releases and even posting comments on different discussions in relevant forums. You need to ensure that you do not spend money on building links; it is something you can do without. Building links is not a difficult task and can be done easily if you have the right strategy. You can always utilize the money saved on something more effective.

Backlink building is an excellent way of increasing your website’s popularity and also gaining exposure over the internet. Finally, you need to understand that linking back is not an overnight process and it takes time. You also need to have quality content on your website to back up the traffic generation strategy you are using.
