Earn Web Profits

  By now most webmasters knows that putting Adsense on their websites is an excellent way to make money online. All you need is for your site visitors to click the Adsense ads on your sites and you’ll make a percentage of the Adwords click charge from it. However, some Adsense ad blocks convert more clicks than others.

  Adsense ad blocks that look like banners are shown to get less clicks than the square (336×280 or 300×250) ad blocks. Everbody who surfs the Web has by now seen thousands of banner ads and knows that they’re advertisements and may tend to be less likely to click on them. Whether they are horizontal or vertical Adsense ad banners, they’ll probably not get clicked on as much. The square adsense ad schemes can be put in the body of your sites content and will look like a more natural part of it, which should mean more clicks.

  No matter what Adsense ad blocks you use you should make sure that the colors match the color scheme of your sites for an even more natural look. You are also better off not having borders on your Adsense ads.

  A few years ago pay per click advertising was one of the easiest things to use to earn money on the internet. Over the last few years a lot more people have been trying it so there’s now a ton of competition for highly searched keywords. There are also a lot of different rules in the pay per click game nowadays, especially when it comes to Google Adwords. You pretty much have to have your own website promoting affiliate programs to have any chance at making money with Adwords whereas a few years ago you could directly link pay per click campaigns without a website.

  Of course, there is still a lot of opportunity to succeed using PPC advertising. You can try Yahoo Search Marketing or Microsoft Adcenter and try direct linking campaigns there or create websites promoting affiliate programs and not have as much competition to deal with, but you won’t get near as many clicks either. However, no matter what PPC platform you use you’re best of promoting Clickbank products as an affiliate.

  The best thing about promoting Clickbank products with pay per click advertising is that the commission percentages are great, with many products offering 50 or even 75%. If you can get some relatively cheap clicks from PPC advertising you can certainly make money online if you promote the right Clickbank products. Look for Clickbank affiliate programs that not only offer a big commission but also a high payout per sale. Clickbank also recently started offering products with affiliate programs that pay a monthly commission. If you can get people who clicks on your pay per click ads to order those products you’ll get a percentage of the commission every month as long as they don’t cancel their orders.

  When using PPC advertising to promote Clickbank products be very careful not to spend too much per click for products that don’t pay much. Constantly check how your PPC campaigns are going to make you continue to make an online profit.

  If you want to earn money online from Google Adsense or affiliate marketing you’ll need high search engine rankings for your websites main keywords so you get enough traffic to turn a healthy profit. One of the most important things to do for higher rankings is to get incoming links to your site from other, preferably high PageRank, sites. What text is used in the links that lead to your website from other websites is also an important factor to consider.

  The text used in links leading to your site from another site is known as anchor text. Many times, when you get another site to link to yours, whether its a link exchange or not, they’ll usually use the name of your website as the anchor text. This will still help your sites rankings, but you’re better of if the anchor text is for your sites main keywords. For instance, if you have a fitness website called FitnessArticles.com you’re better of if the anchor text leading from other sites to yours is something like “fitness articles” or “health articles” than the domain name of your site. You’ll be more likely to rank high for those keywords if they’re used in the anchor text.

  Some, but not most, link exchange programs do allow you to control what anchor text is used in incoming links to your site. If you join Article Underground you’ll find many blogs you can post on and use whatever anchor text you like. You can also find blogs with the “do follow” tag and make non spammy comments with links to your site using whatever text you want. You can also do this when you submit articles to article directories. Try getting some links while controlling what anchor text is used and watch your site rise in the search engine rankings for the keywords you’re focused on getting ranked high in.
