Blogger integrates with Amazon Associates

Earlier this year we simplified the process for monetizing your blog by adding a “Monetize” tab in the Blogger app. We started with AdSense, which allows you to add contextual advertising to your pages; more recently we added AdSense for Feeds to help you generate revenue from the distribution of your blog via RSS and Atom. Today we launched a third option: direct integration with Amazon Associates to search Amazon’s product catalog and add links to products that earn you commissions when your readers buy products you recommend.

With this feature, you can search Amazon directly from the Blogger editor and add pictures and links to Amazon products right into your posts. Your readers will earn you commissions whenever they buy the products you recommend, and if you don’t already have an Amazon Associates account, you can sign up for one for free without leaving Blogger.

If you’ve ever written a blog post about a book, recommended a gadget, or reviewed a toy you bought for your kids, you’ve likely gone through the process of drafting the post, opening up a separate window to go to find a site that sells the product, then going back to Blogger to paste the link to the product into the post editor.

Starting today, you can search the Amazon product catalog without leaving the Blogger interface and insert links to the products you find into your posts. Not only is the process of linking to products more efficient, but Amazon makes it easy for you to earn money whenever your readers actually buy the products you write about. This is known as an “affiliate program”, and it’s designed to let you recommend products you like to your audience — if they buy the product, you’ll earn a commission on that purchase. (For more on affiliate programs in general, here is a good overview at ProBlogger from this summer, and Darren’s “11 Lessons Learned” post about Amazon Associates is a good review of how to get the most out of the program.)

To get started, click on the Monetize tab for your blog and click “Amazon Associates”. Walk through the setup wizard, and add the Product Finder once you’re done.




Now for the fun part: when you are writing a post on Blogger, you’ll see an Amazon gadget to the right of your post editor (the “Product Finder”). You can search the Amazon product catalog from within Blogger — type in the name of the product you are writing about, and insert a link to the product, an image of the product, or an iframe containing the image, price details and a “buy it now” button. Every link that’s created contains your unique Associates ID, ensuring that Amazon will credit you for any purchases that result from readers clicking the link on your blog.

Make Money Online - Tips On Creating An Interesting Blog To Attract More Visitors

With the presence of blogging in the internet, it has fast becoming a great tool where one can make use of to make money online. With a little creativity and applying some tricks and techniques, you can now start to make your blog an interesting one and attracting loads of visitors. Once you have these loads of traffic to your blog, you can then start to make money. So what is a good blog and how can you make your blog interesting enough to make people want to revisit your blog all over again? Read on to learn more.

How To Attract More Visitors To Your Blog

Attracting more people to visit your blog is pretty much like marketing in itself. First of all, you need to know what your readers will want to read and know about. With this in mind, you then have to respond to their needs to give them a reason to visit your blog for the first time. Even after managing to get them to visit your blog, it does not necessarily mean they’ll stay with you. Imagine with the tons of blogs out there in the internet, your visitors can easily just go on to the next one and totally forget about yours. This is the time where creativity comes into play in order to keep them coming back. It is only when you have built a loyal base of readers to your blog, then only you will truly be successful and can make money off it.

Knowing The Needs Of Your Readers

Before you can start making any money from your websites, you need to have lots of people to visit your site. This also hold true for blogs created. On the other hand, you have to ensure that the contents in your blogs are interesting in order to keep your visitors coming back. So, with this in mind, you have to know that creating a successful blog is like creating an answer to a need, and of course, you need to know what those needs are first.

Naturally, you can ask them through a survey you created. Try to keep it short and brief and only stick to questions that are relevant but fairly easy to answer. If the survey takes too much time to answer, people might not want to answer. Basically, the trick here is to phrase your questions carefully such that you are able to get real and useful information out of them. Once you have managed to get what your readers want, you can then select which one you can use as the main topic for your blog. Probably it is a good idea that you should choose to write something you’re pretty knowledgeable about, or else you won’t have much to share that would be of interest to others. Also, try to ensure that your blog has one main topic around which your posts will revolve, in order to help you build a community of readers.

Update Your Blog and Have Fresh Contents Regularly

After having decided on a topic of your expertise for your blog, you can then start to write your posts. Whenever you have some spare time and have a topic in mind, do not hesitate to write down spare posts so that you can easily update your blog at a later time when you are not busy with any of your daily activities. If your blog does not have much updates, readers may notice it and might stop visiting your site again. They will probably think that they have nothing new to read anyway.

So, the key to a successful blog to hold your visitors basically lies in the content of your blog. As time passes, if your blogs is not updated regularly, visitors’ interest may fade, especially if they don’t learn or see anything new and entertaining on your blog.

What Should You Do To Hold Your Readers

Do not worry even when you have reached this point. Give yourself a chance to make something big out of your blog. Not to mention, making money out of it. Keep in mind that all it takes is a bit of ingenuity to make them come back for more. Try to be more innovative. Come up with new and exciting treats for your readers like posting pictures and launching online games. Instead of being a passive reader, you can also ask your readers to be part of your blog by participating in it. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try out different things which you think you will be able to build a community of readers that can be additionally attracting for new visitors and for old readers as well.

Advertising Your Blogs

Do not underestimate the power of online communities and social networks if you want to make money out of your blog, As in the actual world we live in, word of mouth also plays an important role online. Yes, advertising online is something which you cannot give it a miss if you want to make money online and be successful. But at the end of the day, the key to success as a blogger lies in your readers. They are the one who can spread the word and give good reviews about your blog. If your blog is really good and interesting, they are also the one who can ask others to check out your site. So, the more people you get talking about your blog, the more chances you have to make money out of it.

Is Google Fair to AdSense Publishers?

There has been much discussion lately on blogs, forums and even the AdSense Support Forum from publishers reporting that they've seen some pretty big drops in AdSense revenues.

By now, everyone should know about the global economic crisis and there's no denying that the US is in a recession. Advertising gets hit hard during a recession and many publishers are taking notice.

I decided to take a look at numbers Google files with the SEC related to it's advertising and AdSense in particular to see what's going on. I've included some charts to help interpret the data. The last quarterly report filed was in September and the annual report hasn't been filed yet. I'll revisit this subject when it does.

From what I've seen, Google seems to be very fair to it's publishers in some ways, maybe could improve in some other areas but most importantly, there might be cause for concern if you rely on your AdSense revenue in these tough times.

How much does Google keep from AdSense clicks?

This is likely different from publisher to publisher, especially when it comes to those that get invited to be premier publishers and can negotiate their own terms, but Google does list the revenue generated by AdSense and how much goes to the AdSense publishers in their SEC filings. The chart on the right shows the publishers share in red and Google's share in blue.

Over the past 4 years, Goolge has paid out an average of just over 80% to AdSense publishers. Beofre they were only giving publishers a little less than 80%. Considering the infrastructure and the quality of their targeting, that seems like a good deal. If you have a website with significant traffic that appeals to advertisers, you could do better with directly selling ads yourself, but even big publishers use AdSense because the small percentage they take is justified by the time saved. Big publishers likely have negotiated better terms and from reading the 10-Q statements, it seems that some publishers even have guaranteed payments defined in their contracts.

Google has been taking a smaller cut from AdSense

If you look close at the chart Google has been taking a smaller cut from AdSense in the past 4 quarters. 88% in the first two and 89% in the last two have gone to publishers. That may seem like good news at first read, but consider again that publishers have been seeing decreased revenue even with the increase in share. We also don't know how evenly that increase was distributed. It could have gone to all the premier publishers to meet contractual obligations or it could have gone to only regular publishers to help offset declining cost per click.

The good news is that Google seems to be willing to soften the blow to publishers a bit. Maybe they think this will only be temporary, until things calm down but many economists aren't expecting a quick economic recovery. Regardless, that's a nearly $120 million dollar hit they took to either keep publishers from bailing or to honor their contracts.

One of the things I've read in most of the quarterly reports is that advertising revenue is increasing due to increase clicks and not because of the increased price per click. If you want to keep your AdSense revenue up, you need to keep getting more traffic and more clicks.

Does Google keep the Good Advertisers to Themselves?

I've seen people ask this different places. This next chart shows what Google earns in advertising revenue from it's own sites in blue, the total revenue generated by Google Network web sites (AdSense publishers) in red, and the revenue share for publishers in yellow. Values are in thousands.

As you can see, ad revenue on Google's own sites has been climbing regularly while AdSense revenues haven't been growing as fast and have actually leveled off the last 2 quarters. In the first two quarters of 2004, AdSense publishers generated more revenue than Google did on their own sites. Now Google brings in twice as much revenue from their own sites.

7 Reasons Why Google AdSense Sucks (JohnChow.com)

I don't agree with few of below points as mentioned by John Chow.

#1) The CPM’s are Weak

Yes CPM’s are dropping everywhere and the days of $50CPM are distant memories, but the CPM’s with AdSense always seem to be low. Why is it that the CPM’s suck if you are publisher, and the CPC are so high when you are on the other side as an advertiser? Oh yah, they have a market cap of $175,000,000,000. Yes that is 175 billion with 9 zeros. Why don’t they share publicly what percentage of the revenue they actually give to the publishers? Can you think of a reason why they would hide this? Every single ad Network and every single affiliate company in the world tells you what percentage payout they give you. Google is the only one that doesn’t. What kind of partner, doesn’t share that information with you? It should be illegal not to disclose.

#2) They Look Like Crap

This one is baffling more than anything. How can a company with over 20,000 employees not come up with a banner that looks more ascetically pleasing to the eye? The customizations are weak. Colors and rounded corners? Come on G, come up with slick looking ads! Even the Graphic ads, have the self promotion, ‘Ads by Google’ that makes them look ugly. Do you really need to advertise AdSense more? Thousands of top bloggers have pulled them off their site for the simple reason of how bad they look on their site, and you should too if you want your site to look more professional.

#3) Inverse Relationship to Revenue

After meeting and talking to hundreds of site owners over the years and meeting folks who say they either make money or don’t make money off AdSense, I come to this conclusion. AdSense revenue is inversely related to the quality of your content. If you have great content, readers are going to stick around your site and read more but if you content quality is weak they are going to keep looking elsewhere and click on the Google Ads with the keywords of what they are really looking for. So if you have keyword rich weak content, you will actually make more money with AdSense.

#4) PSA’s

Also known as Public Service Ads, these ads show up when Google can’t find a match for your site, and they normally only show up when you have the default set to display only graphical ads. OK, I can be as charitable as the next guy, but not only do you not make any money off these ads, they look like crap. I’ve yet to see a nicely designed PSA. Here is a tip to all you charities out there, hire a professional designer, or get a professional graphic designer to ‘donate’ his services and get some nice looking banner ads designed. Otherwise, keep those lousy PSA’s off my site.

#5) Anyone is Approved

This is the biggest joke with AdSense and the reason that the web is filled with millions of completely useless shitty sites. AdSense is the cause. Yes, the biggest search engine in the world, the folks who pride themselves on “helping your organize information” is the #1 culprit of enabling anyone to create a crap site and make money off it. Anyone can put up a website, plagiarize, steal and copy content and then slap on AdSense ads to potentially make a few bucks. Almost every single ad network in the world has some type of approval process and quality control, but not AdSense, everyone is welcome. Why? Google’s revenue is the ultimate long tail and those hundreds of millions of spammers are all soldiers in Google’s revenue army, all splogging and generating pennies that add up to billions.

#6) It Makes You Lazy

AdSense is a crutch for the lazy publisher. It is kind of like crack cocaine, when you get a small taste of it, you keep coming back for more, even when you know it is bad for you. You think, oh well, at least it is some money. I never hear anyone saying. OMG, I am making a killing off AdSense on my ONE site! The few bucks you get a month keeps you on a drip feed life support so you don’t go out and sell your own ads.

#7) They keep your Money

This is one of the things that really irks me with Google and should make you mad too. How many millions of dollars of other people’s money do they have in the bank that they will never pay out? They used to have a lower payouts lever and now it needs to be $100. I guarantee that there are litterly millions of small publishers with super low traffic that will NEVER hit the minimum payout level and just give up or remove it from their site. What happens to this money? Google keeps it. Hmm? I’m guessing that the guy in the 3rd world country with the $38 dollars sitting idle in his account needs the money more than they do? They should be forced to pay out all monies owning to small site owners!

Enough is enough. Let’s convince Google to disclose what percentage of your revenue they keep and force them to pay out all monies owed to small site owners.

How much money is sitting in your AdSense Account?

Beware of Phishing Attack on Google Adsense accounts


With all of the talk about Adsense users finding their accounts disabled lately, users should be aware of a phishing scam playing on Adsense clients’ greatest fear: losing their account.

Today I received an email purporting to be from Google telling me my account was disabled. And frankly, it’s the closest I’ve ever come to falling for a phishing attempt. That’s partly do to circumstance and partly because the scam is fairly well done.

On the circumstance side, I had an unusually high number of clicks on one of my sites yesterday. It seemed to good to be true, so I was afraid something was amiss.

On the scam side, the phishers appear to have copied an actual email Google uses to inform users their accounts have been disabled. Or at least something very close. There’s no broken English. Here’s what it says:

Hello,

While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense
account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since
keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our
advertisers in the future, we’ve decided to disable your account.

Please understand that we consider this a necessary step to protect the
interests of both our advertisers and our other AdSense publishers. We
realize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you in advance
for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any questions about your account or the actions we’ve taken,
please do not reply to this email. You can find more information by
visiting
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=57153.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

The email came from adsense-adclicks-noreply@google.com, which apparently is a real Google email address that it uses to contact customers, at least according to a couple blog posts. (Surprisingly, Gmail didn’t warn me that the email was actually sent from someone other than the return address like it usually does. But it did put the message in my spam folder.)

But there are a few problems with the email. First, there’s no email address in the ‘to’ line. Second, it just addresses me as “hello”, rather than a name.

Step-By-Step Guide of Making Money from Google Adsense in Pakistan

Our blog readers are constantly demanding for a “Step-By-Step Guide of Making Money from Google Adsense in Pakistan” so we finally decided to write this post to help everyone earn and make some extra money online in Pakistan or anywhere else for that matter.

Let us clarify one point very openly that the Google Adsense is not a Get-Rich-Quick scheme and its not that easy to make money through it. You need persistency, patience, and real smart work to make some reasonable income through Google Adsense. Please take it as a business which grows gradually, it’s not going to happen overnight you’ll have to learn it step by step. So, here is the step one.

Step 1: Get one new Google Adsense Account without having a website or blog (Tested and Verified Method)

Although, this step is already explained in details in our previous post, but it is again explained here briefly : -

a. Sign up for a new gmail account. (Ignore this step if you already have one with no adsense enabled)

b. Sign up with Flixya. (Using the same gmail account which you have created earlier for this purpose)

As soon as you start sign up with Flixya, it will ask you:

Do you already have a Google Adsense account?
Click: No
As soon as you click No, It will show the option to sign up for Google Adsense using the same gmail account. Now click on “Sign up of Adsense” button to continue sign up.
Now you will receive two email notifications in your gmail account, one from Flixya for continuing signup and second from Google Adsense for sign up. Completely fill your Google Adsense signup form with accurate information and make sure the name and address should be the same as it appears on your CNIC and other official documents. Also complete the signup for Flixya.
It is a proven and tested method to get your Google Adsense ID without having a blog or website. Now, you will have to wait for adsense account approval it will take 4-5 days to get it approved.

Step 2: Make your first blog using Blogger.com
Blogs are the online diaries or journals which anyone can use to publish his/her own choice content. The content can be any article, picture, videos etc. There are several platform where you can make your own blog but Blogger.com provides the simplest method to create a blog and it is most commonly used for this purpose.

By the time you get your Google Adsense ID’s approval, you can make your plan about creating a profitable blog. Remember, if you are not planning it means you are planning to fail. Instead of creating a blog on the topic which you are not familiar with, create a blog for which you are passionate about. For example if you are good in cooking, you should make your blog about cooking tips and if you are passionate about mobile phones then you should create a blog about latest mobile phones. We can discuss this in our upcoming posts, we are sticking to step two i.e making your first blog.

a. Sign up for Blogger.com. (Make sure you are signed in with the same gmail account)

b. Naming your blog (Tip: Choose an interesting and catchy name which your target readers can remember and recall.)

c. Choosing right blog URL. (Tip: It can be either your name or a combination of few key words)

d. Choosing right template for the blog. (Tip: Just start of with any template because you can easily change it later)

Once you are done with creating your first blog, you start posting your new content i.e. articles, videos, photos etc without worrying about making money out of it. Make sure that you write your own content or you mention the source from where you get that content. Original content appears fast on search result as compare to duplicate content.
Here is a list of blogs which are using blogger.com which can be off help to you.
Step 3: Integrate your Adsense Account with your Blog
It is not a good idea to display google ads on newly established blog, so make sure you have enough content on your blog which is good to attract readers. Once your Google Adsense account is approved, you can integrate it in your blog to display relevant ads by Google. This is how you can integrate your adsense account with your blog: -

1. Click on the Monetize button (Make sure you are logged in to your blogger account and you have selected the blog where you can see the Monetize button)

2. Choose (and click next)

3. Enter your PIN (i.e. gmail id and postal code or last 5 digits of phone numbers)
Note:- You can also integrate your adsense account with blogger through Layout >> Page Element >> Add a Gadget >> Adsense and again you can mention your email and PIN to get new ads by Google in your blog.

Step 4: More Traffic Means More Adsense Income
Traffic through search engines (Organic Traffic) are the most likely source of generating adsense revenue. If your blog appears on the top ten search result of a particular keyword, then it will become a continuous source of residual income from Google Adsense. But it will take a lot of effort and continuous improvement in your blog to appear on the top search results.
There are various ways to generate traffic on your blog, we suggest the following articles to help you understand the traffic generation techniques.
You can simply start sharing your posts on you facebook and other social networking websites to get started.

Step 5: Google Adsense Milestones and How to achieve them

a. Earning first $10:
Google Adsense issues PIN Code once you have $10 in your account. As soon as you have earned $10 in your Google Adsense account. Google Adsense will send Adsense PIN Code to your mailing address. You can enter PIN Code and remove payment hold from your Adsense Account.

b. Earning first $100.
Google Adsense issues payment when your account balance reaches $100 or more. For example if you have completed your $100 in the month of January then you will receive your payment at the end of February. For detail you can check your adsense account.

c. Receiving your first Payment
. The best part about Google Adsense program is its payment method via Western Union Money Transfer. You can receive payment from any Western Union Money Transfer Outlet on the same day when you get your payment status from Google Adsense.

You can use same Google Adsense Id for multiple blogs or other revenue sharing websites, forums etc. As already explained in our previous posts.
This is just the beginning, we are hopeful that you’ll learn new techniques of blogging with us so that you can get your own domain for blogging and utilize all the experience you got from using Blogger.com’s blogs. Avoid mistakes done by bloggers and be a successful blogger.
We hope that above information will be useful to you, if you have any confusion please feel free to comment on this post, we will reply ASAP.

Increase your Online Income with Moreniche Affiliate Marketing Program

There is an old saying that “If you keep doing what you’ve been doing you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting”.

If you really want to get something different out of your website or blog, do something different.

Most website or blog owners have not yet tapped the full potential of their online business. Whereas, every website/blog owner should try to maximize their earning potential which means adding multiple income streams to your online business.

Do not depend on only one source i.e. Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising income such as Google Adsense etc. Most of the people who want to earn money only this way end up making some cash, probably enough to cover their web site’s expenses. You can also explore new sources of revenue from online affiliate marketing programs.

What is Affiliate Marketing?
Well, since affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and probably the best manner to make profits online. Affiliate marketing, simply said, is a relationship or agreement made between two websites, with one site being the merchant’s website and the other being the affiliate’s site.

In the relationship, the affiliate agrees to let the merchant advertise his products on the affiliate’s site. The merchant, alternatively, would agree to pay the affiliate in whatever way they have agreed into. This would commonly mean easy revenue for the affiliate, as he would do nothing but place the retailer’s ad on his site.

Which Affiliate Programs to Join?
If you are a web publisher, finding the Best Affiliate Programs for your niche isn’t as simple as signing up for everything that sounds good. You may be tempted to sign up for everything that “sort of” fits with your site’s focus, but there is a better approach.

The Best Affiliate Programs are those that meet the needs of your visitors and customers. Period. Joining programs that are peripheral at best is a waste of your time, and will ultimately cost you money as it diverts you from the programs that will be of benefit to your visitors.

Making Money Online from affiliate programs are not that simple, you need to learn step-by-step and you need guidance, tools and resources to become a successful affiliate marketer. That is where Moreniche comes in: -

You can learned affiliate marketing techniques from Moreniche for free of cost.

Moreniche helps you. They have lots of free guides on SEO, articles marketing (Bum marketing) PPC, email marketing, Web2.0 marketing and other traffic generation training materials… all for free of cost. They also have an excellent active forum where you can directly interact with Moreniche staffs and merchants. If that’s not enough you can email their support center.

Think about this: You get $20 for just signing up with them; you get $10 for just introducing yourself on Moreniche forum; you get $15 for sending them first visitor. That is $45 for doing almost nothing…of course there is a catch!!!. You’ll get all these free money only after making your first sale. But that shouldn’t be problem… if you follow the Moreniche guide and take action you’ll make your first sale within a short period.

Moreniche doesn’t have 100’s of products to promote like other affiliate networks. But they do have products which are converting at great rate. Even if you are not interested in selling their health products you can simply promote their affiliate marketing program which is “one of the largest growing networks with over 2,000 new affiliates joining monthly; you could make $20 and 5% for life for every new affiliate you refer to Moreniche.” This programaccepts affiliates from all countries including Pakistan.

If you haven’t earned your first affiliate commission check then you should seriously consider joining Moreniche affiliate program.

That’s enough said…you should join Moreniche today if you want to make money as an affiliate marketer.

Good Luck!

Now that Google Affiliate Network (GAN) has recently announced that payment to Google Affiliate Network Publishers will now be made through AdSense to offer publishers a wider range of payment options. Publishers can also manage their payment information in new ways and enjoy consolidated payments from Google if they use other Google products.

Select Highest Paying Keywords in your niche and double your Adsense Income

I shared this list of Latest Highest Paying Keywords for 2009 earlier and a lot of bloggers and webmasters said that all the keywords mentioned in this list does not belong to their niche (target market), so it is pointless to use this list. I completely agree with you all, that such highest paying keywords are related with some financial / legal / medical niche and you can not utilize this list to your blog or website provided you share the same niche.

In this post, I am going to disclose you how you can choose highest paying keywords which are related with your blog or website. Let me first explain you the importance of selecting highest paying keywords and the amount of difference it can make to your Google Adsense earning.

For example, if you are going to write an article on say “Affiliate Marketing” and you really don’t know about the highest paying keywords and you write complete article without incorporating any keywords with high value. In this case Google Adsense web crawler will crawl your page and display ads next to your content but a relatively lower Cost Per Click (CPC) say $3.78.

On the other hand if you do a prior research on highest paying keywords and incorporate the highest paying keywords in your article, for example “Affiliate Marketing Online Program” is a high paying keyword, then Google Adsense will display ads next to your content but this time with comparatively higher Cost Per Click i.e $6.78. You can notice the difference in Cost Per Click (CPC) of $3 straight away which means your income will be doubled as compared to before. In some cases this difference can be huge, so the bottom line is if you do a little research beforehand it will definitely increase your online income big time. It’s never too late to do research on High Paying Keywords and it really pays to increase Google Adsense earnings exponentially.

Now the question arises: How to select Highest Paying Keywords specifically for your website’s niche?

Well! you don’t have to go outside the Google to find out the solution. Google itself provides you a very powerful tool to select highest paying keywords for your niche and you need to follow a very simple trick to learn how to earn more from that keyword tool.

Google Adwords Keyword Tool provides you the solution of selecting the highest paying keywords for your niche blog or website.

It provides to two options to choose from: -

Option 1. Descriptive words or phrases (e.g. green tea)
In this option you can simply write few keywords on which you want to perform the keyword research.

Option 2. Website content (e.g. www.example.com/product?id=74893)
In this option you can provide the link of your website on which you want to perform the keyword research. (See the picture1 at the bottom of this post)

Once you have entered the keywords or URL, you can simply click on “Get Keywords Ideas” button to proceed.

As soon as you hit that button it will show a comprehensive list of keywords along with other information like “Advertiser Competition”, “Local Search Volume” and “Global Monthly Search Volume” which you can use for your research.

On the right side just below the two options there is another option which says “Choose columns to display”. Select “Show Estimated CPC” as soon as you select that option now keywords will be displayed along with average CPC. (See the picture2 at the bottom of this post)

Now click on “Estimated Avg CPC” text to sort it in ascending or descending order.

There you go! You can see the highest paying keywords in your niche. Now you can incorporate these keywords to attract highest paying ads to your blog or website.

Do share your experience of using this trick! Good luck!

  • Haris Nadeem, the Guru of Blogging in Pakistan

    There is no better way of learning blogging tips and tricks than learning it directly from the blogging Gurus. When we talk about Gurus of Blogging in Pakistan, the first few names which comes into my mind must include Haris Nadeem. Google Pakistan and CIO had been showcasing Haris Nadeem in their bloggers meetups as a role model and inspiration for new bloggers because of his brilliant achievements in Blogging at a very short span of time.

    Achievements Highlights
    Haris Nadeem is included in Top 30 Earning Bloggers Globally and he is also listed in Top Young Bloggers List.

    I have also approached him for an interview but recently PakCrunch guys i.e. Imran Hassan and Umair Khan Jadoon took the lead and they took a wonderful interview at CIOWebstudio, which you can watch it here as well.

    In this post, I would also review Haris Nadeem’s blog i.e. SizzledCore.com and share some of its statistics and tactics. If you have a close look at its home page, you will notice that it has a very beautifully designed eye-catching logo right on top which creates a good positive image of his blog at first glance. The home page shows five recent posts with “Read More” option with a lot of white space so that the reader can easily go through the summary of all five posts without getting distracted by any Google Adsense Ad except for a search bar at the right column.

    The tactic here is clear, that he doesn’t wants to let the readers leave so early, by clicking on the Google Adsense ad. He want’s his readers to explore more about his blog and for that matter he has provided two column list of 24 categories at the right side but no recent posts option.

    The right side of his home page also have options to subscribe via email, twitter, and facebook. He has mentioned the importance of social networking sites and he is spot on here by providing an option to Become A Fan on Facebook. You’ll notice a deliberate blank space right below the Facebook Become a Fan option till the bottom side of his Blog because he doesn’t want to look overcrowded with so many options. Although, a Google Friend Connect could easily be added right below the Facebook Become a Fan box with no harm at all.

    As soon as you either click on one of the five latest post or the categories provided at the home page, you will notice two large rectangle 336×280 ads, one at the top, below the headline and the other one at the end of every post. These are the two most possible earning spots where he is making a lot of money apart from search bar and link units at the top.

    If you check out it’s statistics at Alexa.com you’ll notice that his blog is getting around 20,000 visitors per day which is the key here to make money. As he also mentioned in his interview that earning is directly proportional to traffic, which simply means “More Traffic=More Money”.

    Some Other Statistics
    Sizzledcore.com users come from these countries:

    37.0% Pakistan
    21.2% India
    11.8% United States
    3.3% Saudi Arabia
    2.4% Indonesia

    Enjoy Social Bookmarking with Spice of Adsense Revenue Sharing

    Not even a single webmaster / blogger can deny the importance of social bookmarking to increase the traffic on website or blog and they have been doing it in the past for simply traffic generation purpose only. Now they can do it for two purposes i.e Traffic Generation and Increasing the Adsense Revenue through Adsense Revenue Sharing program. There are hundreds of social bookmarking websites creeping in every now and then, apart from the old ones like Digg, StumbleUpon, Mixx, Reddit and the list goes on. But none of the above provides you this option.

    SheToldMe is a new social bookmarking plus Adsense Revenue Sharing site which provide you an option to make more money online by doing the same old social bookmarking to increase traffic on your website or blog. But this time you will not only be making money with the traffic on your blog or website, you will also be making money when someone clicks an ad appearing next to your submitted contents at SheToldMe. The best part is that you can also make money by referring new users toSheToldMe.


    When we talk about revenue sharing then there are few points which needs to be elaborated because their Adsense Revenue Sharing for Content needs a little explanation.

    - For each link you submit to SheToldMe a page is created with the title of the link, the link, a description, a screenshot of the website hosting the link, a link to your main site (optional: only if you fill in the field in your user account)

    - Up to 3 AdSense blocks are displayed on this page, if you fill in the AdSense Publisher ID in your account, an AdSense block with your ID will be located closest to the title of your link, at the best spot in terms of CTR, 100% of the time. If you don’t want to participate in the AdSense Revenue Sharing program and don’t fill in the field in your account, there will be no ads at this location.

    However their 100% Adsense Revenue Sharing for Referrals are great which are explained below: -

    When you refer a new member to SheToldMe with your referral link, you will have your AdSense ID displayed on every content pages this member submits, 100% of the time, for life! Even if this new member doesn’t have an AdSense account and submits content just to build links and bring traffic to his content!

    I think it’s a promising website which has a lot of room for improvements. Such as, your bookmarks needs to be manually approved which of course takes time. But overall the concept of social bookmarking with Adsense Revenue sharing is more than enough for you guys to join and promote your blog or website and make more money through referrals and Adsense Revenue Sharing.

    Hope It Helps

    One lucky search can make you $500 Richer!

    I tried to search “free gifts and prizes” at my Google search engine but I couldn’t find my luck to get free gifts and prizes. I also tried Yahoo, Bing, Ask and other search engines for freebies but I ended up believing too quickly that “there is nothing free in this world”.

We are asking you not withdrawing your earnings because as we all know that every business has to be stabilized and profitable for you, whether it’s a bigger or smaller one. And for making it stabilized you have to make it a stronger foundation by helping it financially. Once you have done so, than just sit back and watch your payouts rolling in your account!!

    5. Advertise your referral link: This is the best, proven and most working method for getting direct referrals. But for gaining advantages, choosing the right place really matters as you must advertise your referral link in a place as your niche (The Paid to Click Sites).
