AdBux Rules!

Well, I have found another site that helps you to make money online. But the difference here is that this one works. I have tried it personally and it truly does! All you have to do is sign-up and click the selection of ads and watch each ad for 30 seconds. You get paid $0.01 for each ad.

There are two advantages. The first advantage is that it pays through paypal. The second is that even if you or your referral clicks an ad, you get $0.01 each. Let me put the second point in perspective for you.

Suppose you joined and the first day you clicked 20 ads. You get $0.20. Then you sign up say, 5 members. Suppose this happens the first day itself. Then each of your referral makes $0.20. What you end up with is $1.20 the first day. This will approximately multiply the succeeding days. Not a bad bargain, huh?

The payout threshold is $5.00! So you get money very quickly. Sign up now and add some referrals!

Check this out (Hypothetical):

You click 25 ads per day = $0.25!
10 referrals click 25 ads per day = $2.50!
Your weekly earnings = $19.25!
Your monthly earnings = $77.00!

ClixSense - Money making oppurtunity

If you are reading this, that means that you are an avid blogger looking to make some cash on the net. Well, true to my word, I have reviewed a site that claims to pay you money.

It is simple. All you have to do is register on the site and click on the ads that they provide you. Wait for 30 seconds and then close it. You get from $0.01 to $0.02 per click. Not bad actually considering that on an average day, you will probably make a gazillion clicks with your mouse. Now, you actually have a way to get paid for these usually unappreciated clicks.
The site I am talking about is ClixSense.

Moreover the revenue you can generate gets exponentially increased if you can get referrals. A general earnings chart is provided on the site and I will reproduce it here :Well, what are you waiting for. This is genuine money making oppurtunity.

Agloco Getting Ready For Viewbar Launch

Well, well... its been a long time since I posted here. I've been busy working on modifying this blog. Any ways, back to the topic at hand.

I'm one of the avid readers of the Official Agloco Blog. They had earlier set a deadline for the viewbar launch. But their team in shanghai couldn't meet it. But apparently they are still optimistic about an April launch. Lets keep our fingers crossed

More good news is that they have partnered with about 17 advertisers to strengthen their economic model. That means the money will definitely flow... although it maybe slow at first.

For those of you who haven't joined Agloco yet, now is the time. What do you have to lose?

AGLOCO - Worth it?

You might have seen all the hype surrounding the new so-called FREE money site, AGLOCO. It is only fair that initially people reject such sites thinking that it is just another dud. But is there something more to AGLOCO than meets the eye? Before I go any further, I would like you to take a look at the following site:
VentrueBeat's AGLOCO Review

If you've already read that, I am sure that your interest has been aroused. Agloco makes money a lot of different ways. Among these the viewbar - the most integral part - is yet to be launched. It is still in beta. They have announced tentative launch dates 7 - 8 weeks ahead. So, AGLOCO is still in its infant stages. This means getting in now will provide more lucrative returns.

All they ask us to do now, is build up our network. That is, get as many referrals as you can. As it has just started, I'm finding it extremely easy to get referrals. And no doubt you can too. They're goal is to get 10,000,000 members by July '07 and at the rate it is expanding, they are all set to achieve the target a month ahead of schedule.

The time is ripe to get in and I would recommend that you do. All you have to do now is get some referrals and wait. Once it launches all the accumulated referrals will pay-back rich dividends. This is a program in which the early-bird is always a winner.

VERDICT : Get in now, after all, what do you have to lose - it's free!

ClickBooth For The Rest Of Us

For the newbie, ClickBooth can be a tough beast to tame. So here, I take a little time-out to explain some of the nuances of setting up ClickBooth ads on your blog. Yup, the little colorful ad bar on the top of this site is a ClickBooth ad. They are the best paying ad-providers in the industry with payouts ranging from about $0.10 to more than $50 per ad depending on the type of ad selected.

First, a little about ClickBooth. ClickBooth is an advertising solutions provider. It works both ways. It caters to both publishers as well as advertisers. I am not an advertiser, so I will be covering only the publishing aspects. Any advertisers can go to the ClickBooth site and there are enough resources there to help you out.

First of all, you need to create an account and get your site registered. If you are a blogger - starting-up or otherwise, you would already know the details of how to go about registering your blog at a site. If not, here goes... You create an account and you activate it via your e-mail account. After that, you have to wait for the site administrator to review your submission and then, once approved, you can start publishing ads on your blog.

For publishing ads on your blog, you have to start a campaign. The one I am using above is an optimized rotator. This displays a random ad each time the page is loaded. And then the performances are tracked. Slowly, the number of times low-performance ads are shown is reduced. Thus, you get an ad-space that is filled using ads that are specific to the kind of traffic that you receive on your blog. ClickBooth uses the term creative instead of both text and image ads.

Moreover, there are three types of ad campaigns that are provided. These are Cost-per-click, Cost-per-Lead and Cost-per-Sale. These names are sort of self-explanatory. The first one pays you when the ad is clicked, the second one when a person signs-up at the advertiser's site and the third when a person purchases something (when a sale is completed) from the advertiser's site.

Another way to add an ad is to sift through the hundreds of ad campaigns and select the ad you think fits your site the best. They will provide you with the code for that specific ad (creative) and all you have to do is embed this code on your site.

After this is done, you can track the performances of the campaigns you have added by clicking the run reports link. Then bask in the glory of all the money you have made! Enjoy!

Any questions, experiences or feedback are welcome...

Until next time, happy blogging...

AGLOCO - The Economic Network

AGLOCO is a spanking new site that looks promising enough. It is a radical new idea. Hope it works out. I got referred to it by a friend.

The idea behind AGLOCO is simple. Millions of companies out there are willing to pay billions of dollars for advertising. Their target? Us! And what do we get? Nothing (Almost :->). What AGLOCO does is give some of the cash to the consumers. According to them...

AGLOCO is the only community where Members are first in every aspect. We hope to create a vibrant, trustworthy, and creative community.

The basic idea is based on the share market. You get shares on the site. The more revenue it

AGLOCO - A GLObal COmmunity

generates, the more money its shareholders get. From what I understand, this site is just starting up. If it strikes gold, so will its account holders! A risk worth taking!. Go here to sign-up now.

AGLOCO means A GLObal COmmunity.

I'm Back

Whew! Exams are finally over. I must say, it wasn't half bad. Couldn't get my posts in on time. By the way, watched the movie Babel recently. One word: Amazing. On tv, been watching Prison Break and Heroes too. Both cool serials. Prison Break is turning out exceptionally well. Waiting for Scrubs' next (6th) season (starting in January I think).

When I returned, I found 4 people agreeing to exchange links with me. A huge thanks to MyBlogCanBeatUpYourBlog, BlackWyrm, Dave Dragon and Mr. Disgruntled. Guys, I've already added links to your site on this blog.

When I returned, my Technorati ranking had more than halved due to this link exchanging. ClickBooth showed a $ 0.12 increase in my account. Got a few referrals.

My total incoming link count more than doubled on Altavista and Yahoo! Still no incoming links according to Google though. Wonder why. Moreover, no change in TTLB. They haven't even been able to read my traffic despite having a SiteMeter account. Any thoughts?

Until next time, happy blogging.

Spring Cleaning...

Was a busy day today. I have just cleaned-up the blog. Also I increased the font size so that the text is more readable. Got rid of the clock widget (I was getting bored of it, besides I never used to get the right time :->).

And after careful consideration of what Mr. Brettbum had to say about google adsense in the comments of one of my previous posts, I decided it was better to play it safe. So I stripped down the google adsense adverts from the blog. At least for now.

But what fun is a site without ads. Especially if one of your major concerns is revenue. So I added another ad. This time by ClickBooth. ClickBooth is known for giving some of the highest payouts in the industry. I don't know much about ClickBooth. I will be seeking deeper answers and when I get them I will be sharing that info with you. Until next time, happy blogging...

The Growing Blog

Watching your blog grow could be one of the most exhilarating experiences online. Its like playing a strategy game like the Sims or Civilization IV. But some might call it as boring as watching paint dry. Blogging is not for them. When your sole aim is to make money using your blog, it takes great will-power during the starting weeks of your blog.

For me the time has arrived when I will have to muster all the courage and will-power I can get to continue blogging. It has been half-a-month since I started this blog. So far it has been fun. This is usually the time when a blogger stops blogging and takes up philosophy or something of the kind. He feels that all his hard-work isn't paying off. Almost 90% of starting bloggers stop blogging before they have unleashed the true-potential of their blog.

I should know. I have been there, done that. This post is a sort of morality-booster cum encouragement drive on my part to all the bloggers that are stuck on this phase of their blog and feel like quitting. HOLD ON! The time hasn't arrived yet. Maintaining a high-paying blog is no silly matter. It takes determination. And a lot of hard-work. When I feel low like I do now, I go through other people's successful blogs and read about their success stories. It lifts my spirits. In the two weeks that I have maintained this blog, I've seen it grow slowly and steadily and have received some encouraging pat-on-the-backs from well-meaning bloggers.

So if you identify with what I just talked about, I implore you to continue and not look back. Soon the toughest stages will be over. From there on, its a free and easy ride. The grass, I assure you, will be greener on the other side...

A little Off-Topic...

I am going ahead and taking a risk by going a bit off-topic. I am presuming that if you are reading this blog, it must be because you are willing to give a little effort to make some money online. Remember, only the initial part is tough. Once you are well on your way, there could be nothing easier. What this post is about is this site that I got referred to from another blog. It is a site that pays you for reading mails sent to you by them. So far, I have made $11.38 from this site by simply reading mails. If you are really dedicated, you can even sign-up on some of their sponsored sites for gaining money ranging from $0.50 to $10! If you think you have the time to incorporate a few extra clicks into your daily mail-reading routine, I highly recommend you try this site. Oh and did I mention that they give you a free $10 sign-up bonus for a limited period?

Until next time, happy blogging...

Time to visit the (bloga)ZOO!

I have just signed up on another nifty little blog exchange site called Blogazoo. Now, let me explain what caught my attention on this little site that separated it from the rest of the crowd.

At Blogazoo, the age-old problem of getting quality traffic to your site gets solved albeit to a very small extent. But hey, any quality traffic is better than none, right? It will be interesting to see how their concept works out practically. In theory it sounds somewhat ok.

What they do is place a Gazoo on member blogs. Gazoos are text links which when clicked by a surfer, will get him multiple credits for the single click. This will encourage users tp read through blogs. Who knows? They might even contribute valuable clicks to your site as they surf it searching for Gazoos!

I have just signed up and as of yet, my site has not been approved. But once it does get approved, it'd be interesting to see how things work out. Check it out here! Keeping my fingers crossed. By the way, for those of you who haven't already, I recommend you sign up to the following traffic exchanges as soon as possible. You won't regret it.

The Adsense

OK. The time has finally arrived. Its time to start the ad campaigns. Figuring out the right time isn't such a big deal. I'd let my instincts do the time-keeping. There are many sites out there providing ads for site owners to generate revenue. You can try them all. I'll be reviewing most of them here. But I'd recommend you to start off with adsense. It's the easiest to set up. Once you get the feel of having ads on your site, you can try different ad providers. Check out the ad I have placed on the right sidebar. More on adsense later...

Ingredients of a good blog

By ingredients of a good blog, I mean what you need to make money from your blog. What it takes to stand out from the crowd. This list is by no means complete. But just a foundation stone. It will be updated as this blog progresses...

1. Content is king. You have good content and people will come flocking to your blog. Its a fact.

2. Traffic is queen. When your aim is to make money, traffic is what you have to aim for. If traffic is high, then everything else falls into place almost automatically.

3. Links are the princes. Links, links and more links. You can't have enough of it. Get as many inbound links as possible. I guarantee you'll never regret it.

4. Ads are the ministers. Choose wisely when it comes to ads. I will be doing a detailed feature of ads in the near future. Don't forget to check it out.

That's all for now. Use the permalink if you want to see future updates to this post.

Submit to Search Engines...

Now I think is the right time to start submitting to search engines... I've said it before and I'm saying it again... Search Engines will take like, forever to process a new site. So waiting until they come and find you is not an option. So it is better to let the search engines know that you have a new blog and would like for it to be indexed.

Excluding some of the biggies like google and yahoo! submitting to all the known search engines is not physically possible. So what do we do?

Well there are a number of free sites that will do the submission for you somewhat automatedly. I personally use Submit Express's Submit page. They submit to 25+ search engines including AOL, HoTBoT, etc. for free. But, be sure of including the best meta data you can, before you submit to search engines. To go to the free submission page click here and submit away. Slowly but surely, your rankings are bnound to increase.

Another page for free submission is Free Web Submission. I suggest you use a combination of these two submission services to get maximum exposure. But be careful. They have a lot of common submissions between them. Some search engines have a policy agianst multiple submissions fearing spam. So, I suggest first you try Submit Express and then Free Web Submission as in the case of the latter, you can select which sites to submit to. That gives you flexibility. Try it out. And Happy Blogging...
