FREE E BOOK – Download Make Money Online With John Chow dot Com and learn how He went from Zero to over $10,000 a month by blogging.The following is a list of all the ad networks and affiliate programs He use to make money online. They were chosen from this exhaustive list of 130 ad networks. He has used all the following networks at one time or another and can highly recommend them. They have proven to provide good service/support and most importantly, on time payments.

Kontera ContentLink

Kontera ContentLink allows you to make money from advertising without giving up any current advertising spots. Their technology reads your post and turns certain words into an ad. The highlighted words are double underline and an ad pops up when you hover over it. Normally Kontera requires a site have a minimum 500,000 page views per month before being accepted into the program. However, I have a partnership with Kontera that will allow smaller blogs to use their ContentLink service.

Fill out the application and enter “John Chow Kontera partnership” into the Comments field. The application is sent to my personal account representative. He will approve you based on your blog content and not your traffic level. This is a great way to use a service that is normally only available to high traffic sites.

Text Link Ads

Text Link Ads is one of my favorite ad networks. They help me make money online by selling those text links you see under “Featured Sites.” The links offer advertisers traffic and search engine benefits and readers don’t seem to mind them at all because they are not intrusive. Your link price is set by Text Link Ads and is based on Alexa, Google PageRank, number of RSS subscribers, and other factors.

Google AdSense

If you don’t know what Google AdSense is then you’ve been living under a rock. This is pretty much a must have if you want to make money from a blog. Google display simple text and image ads on your blog that are targeted to what you’re writing about. Google has been a consistent money maker for this blog.


Sign up for AdSense.

Bidvertiser

Bidvertiser, a CPC ad network that competes with Google AdSense. It main advantage over AdSense is its low $10 payout. You only need to make $10 in order to be paid. Big publishers wouldn’t care about this but for many small blogs that are still waiting to hit that magic $100 Google payout level, getting pay at a lower level is quite attractive.

AzoogleAds

AzoogleAds is one of the largest performance-based online advertising networks in the world. They offers some of the best and highest paying affiliate deals in the industry. No matter what topic your blog covers, you can find a deal that matches your site. The payout range from $1 to over $100 per action. Affiliate marketing is one of this blog’s biggest moneymaker and AzoogleAds is the affiliate network that offers us the best payouts.

AuctionAds

AuctionAds is one big eBay affiliate. What AuctionAds does is put all their publishers into one big “collective” to go after the higher revenue share. Publishers can leverage AuctionAds’ creative delivery of eBay’s auctions and AuctionAds’ ability to achieve the higher performance incentive tiers with the aggregate volume of traffic to make more money than they could with their own eBay affiliate relationship. Right now, affiliates will get 100% of any money they make from the system. As the collective moves up the eBay revenue share tiers, AuctionAds will start to take a cut of revenues. The goal is for you to make more with AuctionAds than directly with eBay’s affiliate program, which will be the case as the network increases its volume.

ReviewMe

ReviewMe is this blog’s biggest money maker, accounting for $2,400 of the $8,545.25 March income. ReviewMe allows advertisers to buy sponsored reviews on your blog. Review prices are based on your blog’s Alexa, Technorati and estimated RSS numbers. Publishers can set their own pricing if they don’t like the price ReviewMe set. Reviews can be positive or negative. The only requirement is the post must be at least 200 words long.

TTZ Media

This is my own ad network. It’s ideal for technology and shopping related sites. TTZ Media Network offers a comparison shopping search engine for its affiliated sites. Right now, we’re working on a completely new ad engine that will allow me to accept sites with traffic that is lower than the current 250,000 page views requirement. I’ll make an update on this blog when the network comes out of beta.

FeedBurner Ad Network

FeedBurner provides CPM ads for both site and RSS feeds. The CPM rate can be get as high as $10 and publishers get 70% of the money. However, the fill rate is pretty low. If you’re looking to monetize your RSS feed, then FeedBurner is probably the best of the RSS ad networks. To join the FeedBurner Ad Network, you must first have FeedBurner power your RSS feed.

AGLOCO

AGLOCO offers a toolbar that display advertising. If you run the toolbar, they will give you a share of the ad money. They also pay you if you refer other people to use the toolbar. The more people you refer, the more you can potentially make. Currently, my network has over 13,000 people in it and it’s increasing by over 100 per day. AGLOCO is a startup and unproven. However, since the cost of entry is zero, you can’t lose anything for signing up. AGLOCO is also the only network here that doesn’t require you to have a site.

SEO Pack

Posted by: Riza on: August 22, 2007

All in One SEO Pack

Automatic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) out of the box for your wordpress blog …

How to Rank Your Pages

If you want to get your pages to the top, these are some of the things you should do:

  • Use this plugin and write good meta descriptions and tweak your titles.
  • Read at least a couple thousands of posts on WebmasterWorld. This is how I started. Even if you don’t have the money to get access to the so called “supporters forum” it will pay off.
  • Read this book about SEO. I read its 300 pages in two days. I read it on my laptop in the train. I read it in my bed. I just couldn’t stop.

How to Use It

After installation, with the default options active, you only need to make sure:

  • Give your homepage a decent description (see Options -> All in One SEO).
  • “Tag” your posts with categories. Every category your post belongs to will become a META keyword.
  • Alternatively, use Ultimate Tag Warrior to tag your posts. The tags you define for your posts will automatically appear as meta keywords in All in One SEO Pack. It should work with UTW PI and Fin versions, it might work with other versions.
  • Use the description field. This will become the META description. This is very important since this can become the snippet in search engine results pages, that is the first thing users see of your page besides your title. So put effort into this!
  • If you don’t set the description field but there is an excerpt it will be used as meta description.
  • If you don’t use description field and don’t want to write excerpts, you can enable auto-generation in the Options panel. Writing your own description is highly recommended, see some points above.
  • If you don’t want your titles to be rewritten, change this in Options -> All in One SEO.
  • Tweak your titles. If you give a post or page a title of its own this will be used independent of any other option. Titles are the second most important thing for ranking pages!
  • In addition to using your categories as META keywords you can define your own comma separated list of keywords. You can even disable categories as META keywords (see Options -> All in One SEO).
  • If something is unclear just ask. I’m constantly trying to improve the plugin and the documentation.
