Concept of Building a High Traffic website or Blogs

How to create a High Traffic Website or Blogs

Since the first inception of internet I saw the different ways or methods of earning online. But Over the years one important factor never changed and that is, you must first have a high traffic website to earn. In this article I will cover some basic principle of building a high traffic website. I dont want you keep wainting so lets get started.

Below are some of my suggestion on building your high traffic website.

read on..

1.) Best Possible Content - Before creating your website or blogs, plan first on what content you are suppostedly going to publish.. always think of the content with a question in your mind that is it worth being read by millions of online users? Does your site bring any value to users? Give your readers the very reasons to come back and visit your site again. When creating a content for a particular topic, write the best possbile content for your readers.

2.) Create a Timeless Content - One of the great criteria for writing a content is that it should be timeless, information that you publish in your website should have no expiration or maybe long term in nature if timeless is not possbile. What Im trying to say is that your content should not just be of value today but in years to come or probably a lifetime. Could you imaging how your users will treasure the information you have provided? they would definitely come back for more. (That means more traffic at your end right? =)


3.) Create Origianl Content - When creating a content make sure that what you post in your website or blogs are originally written. As a rule of thumb please never copy content from other websites, just remember sooner or later your users will know about it and it will just give your site a bad reputation. You dont want that do you?

4.) Get a domain name - These days creating a website under free portal doesnt look very enticing. Give your site some credibility,register and pay for your domain name with a high relevance to what your going to intend to write. After all domain name registration this days are not too expensive.

5.) Optimize Your Website - Optimizing your website or blogs is a huge topic, Promise I'll cover this in my next posting. Be sure to comeback and have the detailed information on how to do that. Of course its Free...

I know I've only scratch the surface, I'll be writing more about on how to build traffic on website soon. Just continue to visit the blog or if you want you can bookmark it for future reference. =)

Now you can earn while you blog

If Amitabh can write about how his luggage never makes it to the carousel and Aamir write about why you should buy his latest DVD and also attract an audience simultaneously, so can you. If the writing bug has bitten you, all you now need to do is to create some space in the virtual world and start blogging. And in the process make some money too.

Karamveer Singh, (Jim Karter to his legions of fans in the world of cyberspace), raked in whopping USD 70,000, last month. He maintains 200 websites and blogs, and apart from writing for them, he also has around 15 people who keep contributing.

Singh's most popular blog is perhaps jimkarter.com, a blog which in his words, "gives the low down on how to earn while you blog." It has tips from how to generate more web traffic to how to maintain the blog.

Another popular blogger who writes for withoutgivingthemovieaway.com always loved Bollywood movies. But things changed when she got married.

More Tips on Earning Money Online Programs

Don’t accept less than 25% commission. You can find affiliate programs with great payment structures and high percentages of the purchase price in just about every field. In fact, many affiliate programs pay out 50%-75% depending on the type of product. Look for comprehensive statistics pages that list the number of click-throughs, sales and earnings so you can see how you’re doing. The information should be broken down by month.

Look for programs that offer a wide variety of promotional tools to put on your web page, including text links, banners, articles, brandable ebooks, etc. Find out how often you will be paid and make sure that the payment schedule meets your expectations. Some programs pay biweekly, many pay monthly, others quarterly; which is best for you? Look for examples of marketing methods that successful affiliates are using to get the best results.

Make sure that top level support is given. If they can’t answer your questions promptly and intelligently, you don’t want to work with them. For more ideas related to earning money online you can read Online Jobs Website.

Getting Rich from Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs (also called Referral Programs or Partnership Programs) are essentially commission-based income opportunities. With an affiliate program, you get paid for sending customers to other company’s websites. Affiliate programs are widely believed to be the easiest way to start making money online.

Here’s how it works: When you sign up to become an affiliate for a company, you receive a special link with your own unique affiliate ID embedded into it to promote that company’s product(s). Example: AffiliateCompanyWebsite.com/YOUR-AFFILIATE-ID. Next, you simply add your new affiliate link to your website, newsletter or anywhere else. Then when people use your link to get to the other company’s website and subsequently buy a product from them, YOU earn a commission. You benefit from the commission earned and the affiliate company benefits from sales it would NOT have otherwise made without your promotional efforts.

For example, if you’ve ever gone to a website and seen links to Amazon, those were affiliate links. If you click those links and end up buying the product on the next page, the webmaster whose website you originated at will earn a commission from Amazon.

How Much Money Can a Blog Earn?

How Much Money Can a Blog Earn?

Blogging for Dollars 64 comments

“If my blog has ((insert daily number of impressions or page views of your blog here)) how much should it be earning?”

This is one of the more common questions I get asked by bloggers just starting out with making money from their blogs.

On one level it’s a valid question to ask - after all if you’re going to put time and energy into building something it’d be great to know up front what rewards might be awaiting you.

On another level - it’s an almost impossible question to answer because there are so many factors to take into consideration.

As I look across the blogs that I am involved with (around 100 in number if you count b5media’s 80+ blogs) there is a massive variation in the earnings that blogs are pulling in. It is very difficult to make sense of it as it not just a matter of traffic levels.

For example - As I write this I’m looking at the earnings for January of three blogs that I have some involvement with (I don’t get into what specific blogs earn so don’t ask) and here’s what I see:

Blog A: For the month this blog had a total of around 20,000 page views from about half that number of visitors (ie they viewed 2 pages each. The Total earnings of this blog (all from contextual advertising) was $790.91 (USD).

Blog B: This blog had just over 40,000 page views over the month, this time from about 13,000 visitors. It’s total earnings from contextual advertising (same amount of ad units per pages as the other) was $99.08 (USD). it also earned around $35 from an affiliate program.

Blog C: Our last example is a blog that had around 160,000 page views over the month from around 80,000 visitors. It earned $515.12 from contextual ads and somewhere in the vicinity of $2,500 from affiliate programs.

Factors to Contribute to a Blog’s Earnings…

It’s pretty obvious from those figures that there is no ‘normal’ earnings based upon traffic alone. Many factors are obviously at play. Let me unpack a few:

1. Traffic Levels: While the above examples show that traffic is not the only factor at play in determining the earning capacity of a blog - it is a significant one. Whether you’re earning money from your blog directly or indirectly you are almost always going to increase your earning potential by increasing your readership.

2. Source of Traffic: Of course all not all traffic is equal when it comes to earning an income online. As I mentioned in this earlier post, blog traffic largely comes from a three sources - Loyal Readers (including RSS), Search Engines and Referral Traffic (from other sites).

Each type of traffic will have a different impact upon your earning potential depending upon your earning strategies. Lets look at each in turn:

  • Loyal Readers - loyal readers are a wonderful thing to have on a blog because they can add a sense of community and participation. In terms of income generation they are often good if you’re attempting to earn income from your blog via indirect methods. In my experience of picking up consulting and speaking work and even in developing products for sale - most the the opportunities have only come from established relationships that I’ve managed to build with readers.

    Loyal Readers have also been known to respond to affiliate programs as a result of the trust and relationship that you might have built up with them over time. The longer term and more loyal your reader is the more weight your recommendation is likely to carry. Of course you won’t keep readers loyal for long if your recommendations are not on the money so be careful with that.

    On the downside - loyal readers are generally not good for advertising in most forms. When a reader sees your blog every day Ad-blindness tends to kick in pretty quickly unless you’re pretty creative with your ads they often go unseen.

    RSS readers are particularly difficult to monetize with ads on your blog as so many of them rarely see your blog if you publish full feeds rather than excerpts.

  • Search Engine Readers - readers coming to your blog after searching for a keyword you have used are a very different type of reader to the ‘loyal variety’ when it comes to what they respond to. Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that visitors from SE’s quite often only stay on sites fleetingly. The typical SE users is in search of specific information and if they find it quickly they might stay for a little while but if they don’t they are likely to click on link to something else that might be a better source of information or hit their back button to return to the search engine.

    This makes them almost the opposite of loyal readers in terms of indirect income earning methods. It’s very difficult to build your profile if people are one off 10 second readers (unless you’re good at making them come back).

    When it comes to more direct income earning methods SE traffic is traditionally more responsive as they tend to be more aware of your ads (if they are well placed and designed) and they are actively looking for information and things to click on that might give them the info they are searching for. This is especially true for contextual advertising like AdSense which can show ads on your site that are triggered not only by what your content is about but on what people came to your blog searching for in Google (or so some people believe).

    In terms of affiliate links - SE traffic is less likely to click them as a result of your profile but could be open to them more just because they are there. They can be hit and miss depending upon your topic

  • Referral Traffic - It is difficult to make generalizations about this category of traffic because it depends a lot on the type of site that is linking to you and the way in which they do it.

    For example the last two times I’ve been linked to from Slashdot brought incredibly different results in terms of the money earned from the traffic. On one occasion there was barely any discernible difference in my AdSense earnings despite having 10 times the traffic I normally would get in a day. On the next link up earnings increased proportionally with the increase in traffic (it was and probably still is my best earning day ever). I can only really put this down to the difference in tone of the linking post at Slashdot and the type of post that I’d written (which in the later case probably triggered more relevant ads).

    In general, traffic from larger sites like Digg and Slashdot don’t convert too well with advertising and affiliate programs. There is an opportunity however for capturing these first time readers and converting them into loyal ones which as we’ve said above is good for indirect income earning down the track.

4. Income Stream:The actual method you use to monetize your blog impacts the amount you might earn. This is pretty obvious so I won’t go on about it too much but it’s worth saying here as it’s a definite factor in mix when looking at other factors.

5. Topic: In the three blogs that I mention above I would say the major difference in their earning capacity was their topic.

  • Blog A has a pretty specialized topic that not many would be too interested in (hence it’s lower traffic). On the other side of things it has well paying ads in YPN on a per click basis and triggers ads that are very relevant to the topic. As a result despite it’s low traffic it earns quite well.
  • Blog B has a very popular topic but there are very few advertisers interested in buying ads with those keywords in contextual ad systems. As a result it’s Click Through Rate (CTR) is very low and click values are low also. It’s also yet to generate enough traffic to make much from impression based ads (although there is potential here - it’s a reasonably newish blog). As a result while it has more traffic than Blog A it’s earning considerably less.
  • Blog C is again on a popular topic which doesn’t convert brilliantly in contextual ads in terms of CTR and ad value. It does have a reasonable reputation in it’s niche and affiliate recommendations are responded to well by readers (and they have a good value per sale also which doesn’t hurt).

Why Topic Matters

  • Contextual Ads - Different topics and keywords within topics will trigger different ads in contextual ad programs and as a result will earn different levels ‘per click’ (I write about finding high paying ads in AdSense here).
  • Affiliate Programs - Similarly, different topics will open up different levels of earnings when it comes to affiliate programs. For example a blog about books that uses the Amazon program is only ever likely to make small commissions per sale as the average book might only be worth $20 and the commission with Amazon is generally in the 5-8% range. On the other hand I know of publishers in the financial website game who use affiliate programs that can pay out at $100 per sale.
  • Indirect Methods - Obviously different opportunities (with different income earning potential) arise for bloggers with a profile in different niches. For example a blogger known for his movie review blog might not have much demand for consulting work but could find a way to syndicate his blog to magazines or newspapers. A blogger with a good profile in the PR industry might not get picked up as a writer in magazines but could land himself a well paying job or some consulting work.

6. Age of Blog: - a good wine matures with age - as do many profitable blogs (and most profitable businesses for that matter). There are many reasons why this is the case and while some blogs do seem to rise from nowhere to dominate the blogosphere - most do not. Here’s a few reasons why blogs tend to get better with age:

  • Quantity of content - I find myself saying this to new bloggers repeatedly but don’t expect to get a lot of traffic to your blog until you have a substantial level of content in your archives. Of course quality of content is vital, but at least at some level numbers of posts do count and unless you’re going sell your soul and to get into splogging quantities of content take time. I’ve written more on this here and here (series).
  • Search Engine Optimization - While some SEO experts claim they can have you at the top of Search Engines quickly (and some can), sustaining high rankings through legitimate (white hat) methods means building a site over time. Climbing the rankings in SE’s is the result of many things including good content (lots of it) that gets links from others - both things that take time.
  • Reputation - Building an online profile and presence takes time n the same way that it takes time in real life. People look for consistency in your blogging overtime and will want to see that you not only talk the talk but walk the walk. As you do this you’ll find your readership grows.
  • Network - Connected with a good reputation comes networking opportunities. Two years ago if I had wanted to start a new blogging project with someone else I would have had little chance of convincing anyone to join me - but since that time I’ve worked hard at my relationships with fellow bloggers (and other online and offline contacts) to the point now where my problem is becoming too many opportunities to collaborate.
  • Web Smarts - I shudder when I look back at my first blogging efforts and how naive, ill-informed and poorly run they were. I have a long way to go when it comes to learning about the web, blogs, design, writing etc - but over time my own skills and knowledge in these areas have grown. You can read all the books, blogs and articles you want on blogging (and I’d encourage you to do so) - but so much of what you can learn about blogging for money has to come from on the job experience - which again only comes with time.

7. Time Invested: Lastly I’ll add that the time a blogger is willing and able to invest into their blog is a factor worth considering. I’m fortunate enough to have been able to work myself into a position where I can blog full time. This didn’t just happen overnight (I attempted to describe the process here) but as I was able to put more time into it the rewards increased. This is a bit of a catch 22 situation of course (the more you earn the more time you can put in and the more time you put in the more you can earn) but it’s a principle I’ve discovered that is worth adding into the mix.

So How Much Can a Blog Earn?

I’ve been avoiding the question for over 2000 words now and I’m not about to put a definitive answer on it except to say that every blog is different and the evidence that I’ve seen from interacting with thousands of bloggers and their blogs over the past year is that bloggers are earning anything between nothing at all and millions of dollars. The upper end of the spectrum is of course rare and those earning very little are in the majority, but bloggers earning decent income is becoming increasingly common. Here’s a couple of recent ProBlogger polls that might illustrate how the spectrum is spread in their earnings of AdSense and Chitika.

I’ll finish with this:

Probably the best way to find out what you can earn from a particular blog is to start that blog and test the waters.

Give yourself a time limit of a few months to get a feel for the topic and see how it goes. While it’s important to realize that a few months is not really enough - it is enough to get an understanding for whether it’s a topic you feel you can sustain, what the click values and CTR might be in contextual ads and even to get a feel for what type of readers you’ll attract. If the signs are good - invest more time into it - if they are not, consider trying something else.

That’s my 2 (or 2000) cents worth on the topic of how much blogs can earn. What’s yours?

Five Ways to Drive Traffic to your Blog

Five Ways to Drive Traffic to your Blog

When you blog for money you need to create your own content (and lots of it!), implement advertisement programs like Google AdSense and WidgetBucks, and last but not least – you need traffic.



In our offline lives we dread it, but online we embrace it. I want to give you 5 ways to start driving traffic to your blog today. With a little time and patience, you will slowly start to increase your viewer ship.

(In no particular order)

5.) Post comments on other blogs.

Blogs are everywhere – there’s certainly not a shortage of them. You should have no problem finding other bloggers in your niche that are popular and interesting. Bookmark those that you like, follow their topics daily, and if you find something that sparks your interest – comment.

Become a participating voice in the community. The more interesting your comments are, the more likely your peers will follow you to your blog. And who knows – you might stand out among the crowd and be recognized by the author, which can spin off into better opportunities.

4.) Register with blog networks like: Technorati, BlogCatalog, and MyBlogLog

It’s important that you get your blog out there for others to see. You can start the process by submitting to search engines, but that’s just the beginning. Technorati, BlogCatalog, and MyBlogLog are just a few of the high profile blog networks on the web. Register with them, network with other people in your releated area, and get your word out.

When you register with these services remember a couple of things:

1.) Create a detailed profile. Let people know a little bit about you and draw them in. Without that personal interaction people may flee quickly.

2.) Tag your blog properly. Tags are very important – they’re usually one or two word descriptions of your blog. So for example my blog would fall under categories like: Money, Business, and Finance. Dig around the specific service and look for popular tags and try to use those for your blog. It allows people who are interested in these topics to easily find your site.


3.) Register with several forums.

Do a Google search for forums that are related to your niche and register. Try to be an active voice in the community. People will flock to you if you’re interesting. Not only that but it allows you to find out what others are doing and what makes them appealing.

When you register with a forum, make sure to fill out the profile, similar to the blogging services. And equally as important – make a signature that is a direct link to your blog. Your signature is shown in every post that you make – helping you gain visibility. This is all the more reason to create thought provoking discussions.


2.) Social Bookmarking and Article Submission.

Social networking, bookmarking, and article submissions are all the rage today – don’t let it pass you by. Some of the major networks include delicious, Furl, and of course, Digg. These sites will allow you to tag, bookmark, and submit articles that you think are interesting. What’s more interesting than your own work? People should know about it so go spread the word.


1.) StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon really falls into tip #2, but I decided to break it away from the pack because it provides quicker results. Like the rest of the social networking sites, you create a profile and network with others. But what makes StumbleUpon so darn unique, is that you can “stumble” thousands of sites that you’re interested in by the click of a button. So what does that mean for you? Well, you can stumble your own site. By doing this you get into the Stumble rotation, and any people that you network with can stumble across it as well.

In my experience StumbleUpon can bring great surges of traffic for short periods of time. Due to the nature of the service, you’re likely to get overlooked more than not; however, those that do stop – tend to stay. And if they like the site, they can rate it and review it for all the friends in their network to see. Are you getting the picture here? Your viewer ship has the potential to explode!

As with most things in life, there’s no silver bullet for getting traffic. It takes a lot of research, careful planning, networking, patience, and time. If you have what it takes and start using my recommendations, you will definitely start to see an increase. Hopefully that increase in traffic will help you blog for money.

Blogging for fun turns to profit - True story

I started my blog because I enjoy what I write about. I still struggle to come up with quality content that feeds the readers information. I am of the opinion that you must write good posts, share information, help others in their need, to grow your readership.

Don't get me wrong, if I can earn an income from it then I would enjoy that also. I haven't reached that plateau yet and do not know if I ever will but I will continue blogging.

How to Earn Money from Blogging - Phase 2

Starting a website can provide a secondary income:-


It's an appealing fantasy: Start a blog. Watch it take off. Then, quit office life, sit at home, and live off the advertising revenue.

But just like Olympic medals, money-making blogs also elude most people who seek them, despite success stories such as Dooce.com and Problogger.net. The vast majority of blogs, written primarily for family and friends, get under 50 page views a day and earn pennies per month, if anything. It is possible, however, to be one of the chosen few who defy the odds and snag thousands of dollars each month, or at least enough to fund a car payment. Here's how to do it:

1) Pick a topic that you love. Of course, it's best if you love something other people also love, such as motherhood, politics, or celebrities. "All blogs have the potential to create revenue, but the more popular ones are tech and product-focused, versus ones that are just a 'day in the life of,'" says Farnoosh Torabi, You're So Money author and senior correspondent for TheStreet.com.

Steve Pavlina, who blogs at his eponymous website, cautions against being overly narrow in focus. "Instead of picking a niche like diet tips, where there's only so much you can write, instead pick a general way of looking at life or an area of interest that you're passionate about," he says. He writes about personal growth, which encompasses relationships, finances, career development, and spirituality.

2) Build up traffic. Strategies on gaining readers could fill an entire book, but the basics involve reaching out to other bloggers, writing quality content, and updating that content daily. Advertisers usually pay a rate based on every 1,000 page views, explains Torabi. Joining a blog network, creating a great title, and gaining a strong following are all ways to build those views, she says.

Pavlina experienced his first spike in traffic in May 2005 when he wrote an article on how to become an early riser. He credits his success to continuing to publish unique articles that help people change their lives for the better. He says he now gets around 2 million visitors a month and his monthly revenue is in the five figures.

3) Wait to monetize. Or start immediately. When to start placing ads on your site is a subject of debate among bloggers. Lynnae McCoy, blogger at Being Frugal, recommends placing ads from the start so readers get used to the look and don't complain when you add them later. But Pavlina suggests waiting until you have 100,000 page views a month (no easy feat), because before that, any monetization will just make "coffee money."

4) Temper your expectations. Blogging is not exactly a get-rich scheme, as many bloggers point out. According to a survey by Darren Rowse of Problogger, who earns over six figures a year off his blog, most bloggers earn less than a dollar per day. "It's like any 'pro' thing," he says, adding that as with sports, most people do it for fun. A smaller subset makes a small amount of money from winning competitions, then an even smaller group makes a full-time living from it. And a very small group makes a lot of money, like Tiger Woods.

His survey also found that about half of the 3,000 respondents earned over $100 from their blogging, with most of those earnings in the $100 to $1,000 per month range.

Many of the bloggers who do earn money are working full-time hours, or longer. Silicon Valley Blogger at Digerati Life works at least 40 hours a week and earns between $3,000 and $5,000 a month, which means she earns around $25 an hour—a rate she hopes to improve in the future.

5) Start strong. Many successful bloggers say the first six months are key, not because they made much money as they were starting out, but because it was essential for them to market and optimize their new blogs in order to stand out in a crowded field. "The first six months are the hardest because you have to work hard to get your blog noticed," says McCoy.

6) Don't rely purely on Google AdSense. While Google ads are usually new bloggers' first foray into advertising because they are so easy to use, they often provide only a fraction of successful bloggers' income. More lucrative deals can come from advertisers who pay directly to have a banner ad or link placed on the blog. McCoy and others say advertisers started contacting them as soon as their blogs started coming up as one of the top links in popular Web searches.

7) Multistream your income. Pavlina says his blog landed him a lucrative book deal as well as talking gigs. Silicon Valley Blogger sells T-shirts and other products. Sites such as cafepress.com make it easy for bloggers to personalize products with their own logo and then earn revenue off the sales.

8) Learn from others. Several successful bloggers have built up a following simply by blogging about how to make money from blogging, such as Rowse, who calls himself a Blog Evangelist, and John Chow, who offers a free E-book on earning money and gives reports on how much he earns each month. (In June, he says he made over $40,000.)

But don't let such wild success intimidate you. The Lazy Man & Money blogger says the first priority should be on having fun. He considers writing about money an enjoyable hobby—one that he now spends about 14 hours a day doing. For his efforts, he earns around $30,000 a year.

More PTC sites

Here is another list of Paid-to-Click (PTC) sites for you to try out. I will not go into the details of minimum pay-out amount or rate per click for each site, mainly because most of them usually have a minimum payout ranging from US$5.00 to US$10.00, and a US$ 0.01 rate per click. So here they are. Enjoy!

And, for those who missed the earlier posts (and do not want to go back and read), here are the other PTC sites that I’ve tried:

Bloggers? Webmasters? Earn from your blog or website

Are you a budding blogger? Or are you a newbie webmaster or website owner? Then you have to know one thing: your blog or website is a potential income earner!

Take advantage of any traffic that is coming your way from your readers or visitors, and turn them to cash. Sure you’ve heard of GoogleAds. You should try it too. But, with time you find out that it’s a little difficult to earn with it (minimum payout is at US$100). So, how do you earn with your blog or website?

But, with time you find out that it’s a little difficult to earn with it (minimum payout is at US$100). So, how do you earn with your blog or website?

Sell Ad Space.

Notice how you have unused areas within your site — the sidebar, below the banner, or even above your footer. You can sell them as advertising space either directly to those who are interested, or indirectly using a third party seller, such as AdBrite and TextLink Ads.

When you sell directly, you could put eye-catching text telling your visitors that the space is available for them to put their ads on. This is quite difficult when you consider how much traffic you’re getting; and it could get quite tedious when you have to track each and every advertiser.

This is where third-party ad-space “sellers” come in. You just sign up, tell them which pages and areas of your site you’re willing to put ads on, and they sell your space for you. You can choose which ads to approve or reject. Plus, you don’t have to go into the nitty-gritty of dealing with your advertisers directly.

Become an affiliate.

Let’s say that your blog or website is all about Web Design. Blog readers and visitors would probably go to your site to read about your tutorials on designing websites, or to find out about your Web Design services. Then, you could sign up to be an affiliate of something about Web Design that complements your tutorials or services. Something along the lines of free website templates, web hosting, or domain registration services.

Sign up to become an affiliate of a service or company that is related to your website, put up your affiliate link, and earn commissions on sales or referrals to their products or services.

With these two options, you can turn your blogs or websites into automatic income earners with no effort from you, other than signing up and putting up a few links.

DreamClix is back! Or not

I checked in on DreamClix just now. After a few days of hiatus, and as they promised, their site is back online today! So, I logged in to try and click on some ads. How many ads did I see? “At the moment there are no clickable ads available. Please, check later.”

To quote their news update:

DreamClix is back online again and tomorrow we will send “Paid Links” again. Note we were on holiday and we didn’t receive any orders from our advertisers. Probably first week will be difficult for us.

So DreamClix is back. But not quite yet. Disappointed? Don’t be. It probably won’t be long before they’re up and running. In the meantime, try out CashBux along with the other PTC sites I’ve previously listed.

Have fun clicking (and earning)!

Three new PTC sites

Here are three new paid-to-click sites that I have recently discovered.

Simple Clicker offers $0.01-$0.06 links, and sometimes even a whopping $1.00 link! Minimum payout is at $5.00 via PayPal.

AdBuddy pays you at least 0.5 cents for each ad you view, and 0.5 cents for each ad your referrals view. Ads served to you depend on your interests, which you choose on sign-up and is editable after a 60-day period. Minimum payout is $5.00 via PayPal.

CashBux pays you to click on ads or receive paid mail and visit websites. You’ll get paid $0.01 for each website you personally view. The minimum payout is $7.99 via E-gold or PayPal.

The Paid-to-Click list

Lately, I’ve been thinking that those who visit here may only have so much time to scan the front page and read only the latest article. It’s sad that they don’t get to know about the rest of the PTC sites that I’ve listed and/or reviewed.

To address this, I will post the latest updated list of the PTC programs I have tried so far, and present them in a more orderly way. Up until I do that, please help yourselves to the list on the sidebar to the right, under Sites That Pay Per Click. The list contains all the Paid-to-Click sites that I signed up with and recommend, and includes even those that I have yet to feature within a post.

How do you bring traffic to your site?

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. -- Beverly Sills


Search engines are Internet directories, designed to make your site easy to find and easily accessible to Internet users (a link to your site is included with each directory listing). Without your listing in search engines, it would be like conducting business in a community and not being listed in the telephone book. And, if your website isn't located in the top-20 listings of the major search engines, chances are your site will rarely be seen.

  • According to recent users surveys, between 84% to 92% of Internet users worldwide use Search Engines to find what they're looking for on the Web. Its been estimated there are over 400,000,000 (four hundred million) searches performed using search engines, daily.
  • A CommerceNet/Nielsen Media Research survey reveals search engines are overwhelmingly the No. 1 Web-navigation instrument—with 71% of frequent users saying they find out about sites they want to reach through search engines." (The Quickest Way to Get More Visitors to Your Site Annette Hamilton, Executive Producer ZDNet AnchorDesk, July 21, 1997.)
  • Numerous studies have shown the Top Ways Websites are Discovered are:
    • Search Engines: 46%
    • Random Surfing: 20%
    • Word-of-mouth: 20%
    • Magazine ads: 4.4%
    • "By accident": 2.1%
    • TV spots: 1.4%
    • Targeted email: 1.2%
    • Banner ads: 1%
  • Nine out of ten web users visit a search engine, portal or community site each month. They also revisit frequently, nearly five times per month. (Nielsen//NetRatings, May 2001)

Given the above statistics it should be obvious if you want your website to be found, it's imperative to submit your site to the major search engines.


What are the important Search Engines to be listed in?

While there are many search engines on the Internet, getting listed on the most popular search engines will generate the most traffic to your Web site. An effective search engine marketing strategy leverages the advantages of each of the major search engines and their advertising channels including natural and paid.

Over 90% of search engine traffic comes from Google, Yahoo, and MSN. These three search engines provide results for many other search engines, and if you are listed on these three search engines, your site will be listed on many other search engines too. AltaVista for example gets their search results from Yahoo. AOL and Netscape use Google and also get some results from Open Directories like DMOZ.

Do you want to work hard? Or would you prefer to work smart? The smart way is to not waste allot of time submitting to the multitude of smaller search engines... rather focus your attention on the most popular search engines. If there are local or specialized directories related to your web site, those too should be targeted for your submissions.

Following are some of the most popular search engines:

 A note about Meta Search Engines
 Meta search engines do not use their own databases and do not index websites. They query your search from many different search engines simultaneously and merge together the results into one unified set of results. For example, MetaCrawler may take your search term and compile its reults from About, Ask Jeeves, FAST, FindWhat, LookSmart, Overture and many more. Some other popular meta seach engines include: Ask Jeeves, Dog Pile, SurfWax, and Profusion
 Getting listed in a meta search engine requires your site to have been indexed by the search engines it pulls its results from. Therefore, it is important to get a good ranking in the search engine databases used by the meta search engine.


 How to Submit Your Site to Search Engines

Before we discuss the different ways of submitting to search engines, you should first make sure your web site is READY to be submitted. Here are some suggestions for being prepared:

  1. Make sure your site is completed.
    Fix all broken links. Have all pages completed. Make sure it loads properly and quickly. If you want get another opionion on whether it is ready to be submitted. Here is a good company that validates websites: http://www.htmlvalidator.com/

  2. Find the correct category to be listed under.
    If the search engine you're submitting to has categories, it's important to choose the right one. Although this can be frustrating it is important to take the time to find the correct category and sub-category for your site to be listed under. Choosing the wrong category could result in your site being denied.

  3. Write an acceptable description of your site.
    You need to keep it to 2 sentences and nothing more. If you have any doubts about how to write a good description go to your category and look at the descriptions of sites already listed.

 There are three basic models to getting - and staying - listed on search engines:

  1. Do it all yourself:
    You can familiarize yourself with the major search engines, and submit your site to them yourself. This is the least expensive option, but it can also be very time consuming. Besides making sure you get listed the first time, you will also need to monitor your position on the search engines weekly or monthly to be certain you don't get bumped down the list or knocked off completely.
    Search Engine Watch Memberships
    You'll also want to learn a lot about the ins and outs of search engines and directories. A good place to start is at Search Engine Watch, a very useful source of information about various search engines.

    Use the following links to submit your site to some of the major search engines.


    TIP: A common mistake many make is to only submit their "home" page to the search engines even though they might have dozens of subpages dealing with a variety of subjects. Some search engines only require you to submit your index or home page and they will eventually spider your entire site. But, others do not. So, you want to find out if the particular search engine you're submitting to spiders all your pages or not. If not, you will want to submit every page. Each page in your site should have a unique title that is short and describes the content of the page. Further, you want to create meta tags for each page with those unique titles.

    TIP: Locating and making the submissions to the search engines will take time. And, the process doesn't stop after making the initial submission. It is important to monitor your placement in the search engines because for any number of reasons, your site might be dropped from their index or your placement in their rankings is so poor that nobody can find you. Generally speaking, you will probably want to submit your pages to search engines and directories every month. Don't submit more often, though, as you might be punished if the search engine believes you are spamming them. But, once a month is generally pretty safe.

    TIP: After you have submitted your site, it may take several days, weeks, or even months before your page shows up in their listings. As much as you might like to think of the web as being instant - when it comes to most search engines - it ain't so - unless you know the tricks of getting your site included faster.

  2. Use an automated submission service:
    You might call this "do it yourself, with a bit of help." Several online services will submit your Web site to search engines for you. They can save you a lot of time and teach you things as well. They've already done the work of gathering forms from dozens or hundreds of different engines, and have them all in one place.

    WebPosition Gold is a web marketing tool we whole-heartedly recommend to our clients. Unlike other products out there, this amazing tool really does help you achieve top rankings on the search engines!

    Search Engine Blaster is a very simple to use online based service with no complicated software to learn and nothing to download. Once you tell it what to submit, it will automatically re-submit as often as you'de like. You don't even have to log in to do it--It's all on auto-pilot!

    There are also some free or very low cost submission services including:
    SelfPromotion.com is a resource for do-it-yourselfers where you can learn to prepare your pages for the search engines, then use a sophisticated url submission robot to submit your webpages to all the important search engines and directories. You'll also find tutorials about website promotion, submitting to yahoo, and much more. Best of all, you can use the site for free -- if you like it, pay what YOU think it's worth! The guy who runs it has reinvented tipping!
    HitBox Site Submission

    There is also automated software you install on your local computer which you use to automatically submit your site.
    See for example:
    Exploit Submission Wizard

  3. Hire someone to manage the process for you:
    If you want to avoid the time and hassle altogether, there are firms that will manage the entire process for you for a fee. Data Synthesis can optimize your web page and submit your website to hundreds of search engines and directories. Two plans are offered: One can intially submit your site to 150+ search engines and directories and then resubmit your site quarterly. Another plan will make a one-time submission of your site.

 Pay Per Click/Performance Search Engines

A common strategy of search engine marketing is to bid for the top paid search listing in Yahoo Search Marketing (formerly Overture) or Google Adwords as a way to acquire the perceived “bread and butter” position in the search results page.

The "pay-for-placement" or "performance-based" model such as what's found at Yahoo.com, Google.com, FindWhat.com, HitsGalore.com, Kanoodle.com, RocketLinks.com, SearchGalore.com, SimpleSearch.com, and others has become commonplace. Advertisers bid in an open auction for placement in the results for search terms that are relevant to their sites and only pay for visitors who click on their listings.

This is an excellent strategy to use to quickly get your website listed on some of the major search engines and portals. If you're willing to pay the price to get a top listing, you'll get exposure unmatched just about anywhere.
