Make money online selling signature links

If you have been to a webmaster forum like DP, v7n, Netbuilders etc, then you’ll surely be knowing what is a signature. For every post that we make, we’ll be able to promote our signature links. So, if the total number of our post count is 1000, then our signatures will be seen in 1000 places – in other words those signature links would have got 1000 backlinks!

Backlinks are one of the key aspects that decide the page rank of a site. And for increasing the page rank, webmasters buy signature links from others members. At DP, a maximum of four links can be placed in the signature space. So, at DP, through every post, you can promote 4 signature links. And if you want to make some money out of it, then you may sell signature spots.

How much will we be getting by by selling signature spots in webmaster forums? The price is decided by the reputation of the member and through the number of posts the member has made. According to the current situations, if you are with 3000 posts in DP, then you’ll be getting about $15 from one signature spot. And if you are selling all the four signature spots, then you’ll be getting $60 per month. And if you post in forums regularly, then the next month, you’ll be getting more depending on the number of posts that you’ll be with then.

But, if you make unnecessary posts in forums, then you’ll be banned within minutes! Keep that in mind. Moderators of the forums will ban you the same moment, if you are found spamming the forum. So, do things this way. Only make a post, if its gonna benefit someone. This way, you’ll might be getting reputation points also. So, there is double benefit in posting useful posts. Even if you are not with huge number of posts, still you may get a decent amount by selling your signature spots. And that’s, if you visit the forum regularly and help others with useful posts. This way, you’ll be noted by others and hence the chances are high that you’ll be getting more offers than others.

Make money blogging

If you are thinking of making money by blogging, then you should be with a lot of blogs. With just one or two blogs, you won’t be getting anywhere near to even $ 100 per month. But before you think about making money this way, you should be having experience running at least a single blog in the past. If you are already having a blog of your own, then it’s okay. Otherwise start with one blog, and keep blogging for at least a month, before you follow what we are gonna mention here.

It’s better to start with 20 blogs. These 20 blogs should be about different niches. Articles should be posted in these blogs on a daily basis. If you are good at blogging, then it’s better to post an article in each of the 20 blogs on your own. This way, after a month you’ll be with 30 posts in each of the 20 blogs. And if these blogs are with decent traffic, then you would be able to sell links in them. On an average you’ll be getting at least $ 10 per month from a blog. So, from 20 blogs you’ll be getting $200. If you sell, like 10 links in each of the blogs, then you’ll be getting like $50 from a blog. And if that’s the case, your monthly earnings from the 20 blogs will be around $ 1000.

One thing to remember before creating blogs is that – the domain names should be good ones. It can help you in getting higher page ranks for your blogs. A high PR blog will help you earn more money online, per month, than a lower one. You should also do a lot of promotions to your blogs. Getting backlinks can do miracles to your blogs. So, go for it, if you think you’ll be able to do it on your own. Otherwise hire someone to do it for you.

And if you are putting adsense, in the blogs, then your earnings will be even more than what we have mentioned above. After you continue with such a plan for about 3-4 months, you’ll be with the money to hire workers to do all these things. From then on things will be pretty automated – and you can concentrate just on earning more and more money out of the blogs – without doing all those time consuming works.

Link Building for Bloggers

Link Building for Bloggers

Its tough even deciding on where to begin with discussing link building with all of you but it’s definitely something that needs to be addressed amongst all of us bloggers. Link building is the single most important aspect of blogging apart from your content. We all already know that content is absolute king when it comes to blogging and you won’t retain visitors without good content, and you also won’t see too much search engine traffic. If you have your content figured out and you got a steady stream of traffic beginning to pick up on your blog then you might be considering a link building campaign. There are lots of ways you can build links as a blogger and all of them I feel are vital to maximizing your exposure. If you only focus on getting one type of backlink then you’ll be missing to be much exposure that you could otherwise be getting if you just planned your campaign out. I always make sure I have a solid plan written out before I begin any link building campaign, and I also accompany the written plan with an excel sheet to record the data. I like knowing how much I do each day so that I can add it all up at the end of each month to see how my campaign did and to see if I noticed any results. If I notice results that for the better then I usually keeps the same plan for the next month minus a few tweaks. If I notice that the results have worsened from previous months then I will re-look through my data and make needed changes. Having everything written down allows for it to be a lot more organized and a lot more effective.

Once you have your plan of attack laid out then you can begin building the links throughout the rest of this article I will aim to teach you multiple methods of getting backlinks now so you can begin planning.

– Social Bookmarking
– Article Marketing
– Blog Posts
– Directory Submissions
– RSS Feed Submissions
– Adwords
– Blog Reviews
– Blog Comments
– Bought Links

There are tons of ways to naturally attain links for your blog and you need to try and incorporate as many of the different options as possible when working on link building. Link building is a constant trait of a blogger so make sure you’re willing to spend at least a half hour each day building links before you begin blogging. Building links I find is the most strenuous part of blogging, but it needs to be done so either you need to spend the time doing it yourself or you need to hire someone who can do it for you. Hiring someone isn’t always that bad, but typically you shouldn’t hire anyone to work on your blog before its making profit because you don’t know if it will even make money. I generally will wait until I see some traffic and a couple conversions on a blog before I really start pushing the link building and content.

How To Get A WordPress API Key For The Akismet WordPress Plugin

How To Get A WordPress API Key For The Akismet WordPress Plugin

With the growing popularity of blogs and the ease to obtain links through comments on blogs, it didn’t take long for programmers to come up with automated tools to blast link packed spam comments to unsuspecting blogs.

Some just turn comments off for their blog but to me that eliminates one of the great features of making your blog interactive for your visitors. Comments can open discussion between the reader and the blogger. Your blog’s visitors can even subscribe to a post’s comments, getting notified of any new comments, keeping your readers coming back.

The WordPress plugin, Akismet checks comments posted on your blog posts against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not.

To activate Akismet from your WordPress blog dashboard, click Plugins, scroll down and click Activate next to the WordPress Akismet plugin. After you do that you will see a box near the top of the dashboard that reads:

Akismet is not active. You must enter your WordPress.com API key for it to work.

Click the link in the message, and then the Akismet Configuration panel will open. You should then see this in the middle of the screen:

Please enter an API key. (Get your key.)

On the top of that page click the Sign Up tab, fill in your information and if you have a self-hosted blog choose the Just a username, please option.

Be sure to use a good email address in here to get your login information and WordPress API key, click the box to agree to legal junk and click next.

Check your email and click the confirmation link from WordPress to activate your account. You should then see a page that reads, “”Your account is now active!”” Click the login link within the text of that page and login.

You should now be at the WordPress.com site, if so click the dropdown box on the very top right of the page and choose “”Edit Profile””, now you are in the Global Dashboard.

Within the WordPress Global Dashboard you can now see your WordPress API key on the right side of the page. Oh, and by now you should have also got the API key in an email from WordPress also! But you should still edit your profile while you are in the Global Dashboard.

Now its time to place the API key in the Akismet WordPress plugin; go back into your WordPress blog dashboard, click the link on the Akismet WordPress plugin warning box near the top of the dashboard. Paste the WordPress API key in the box and click update options.

If the warning box is not visible check to see if Akismet is activated, click Plugins and look for the status of the plugin on the right. You will notice that all activated plugins are highlighted green. When Akismet is activated you can configure it by clicking Plugins, and look for the Akismet subpanel (white text in the dark blue bar) directly below and to the right of then main panel menu.

Keeping comment spam out while allowing your blog visitors to comment, will not only keep your blog clean but more interactive and help generate more traffic.

Importance of One Way Links

By on July 10, 2011 in !Randy Roedl Internet Marketing, Blog Business, wordpress, Wp Headers, Wp Themes

When you’re a webmaster you need to build one way links to your blog or site in order to make sure that you increase your search engine rankings. One way links are the hardest links to get because they involve the most amount of work to get, but this is why they are valuable in the search engines and highly sought after by webmasters. There are lots of ways you can gain one way links to your site or blog and they’re all typically useful in some way but there are some that will rank better then others.

The best type of one way link to receive is through another site or blog related to yours where they give you an in-content one way link.

This can happen from you posting great content on your niche and sometimes you can also ask to be mentioned on a blog in return for content or links on other sites of yours. If you can build your links this way then you stand an amazing chance at getting lots of search engine rankings in time.

Another few methods you can use when you build one way links to your site or blog are article directories, directories in your niche, social bookmarking and blog commenting. All four of these methods can get you lots of one way links and in time they will end up helping your site or blog rank well. The methods above don’t have a sudden impact on your search rankings but as they start to age the rankings will start to improve.

You can build hundreds of one way links to your blogs and sites by using the methods outlines above and if you’re serious about taking your sites to the next level then you need to spend the time building links. You won’t really see fast results from your efforts but as your links age they will begin to rank better in the search engines and you’ll soon begin to have great rankings.

To make money off of your sites you need search engine traffic for the most part, well as long as you want to make money without money then that’s your option. If you want to spend money to make money then you can try other methods, but for the most part if you want to make money without spending any then search engine traffic is your best friend.

You can make a lot of money through the right keywords and you’ll need to figure out which keywords you should optimize on your blog or site. Ideally you should rank for many terms in the search engines and in time you will begin to, you just need to always promote your blogs and sites with one way link building campaigns to get the rankings.

Once you’ve achieved the rankings you want then you also need to still continue building one way links so that you hold the position and noone steals it from you.
