Here is a few quick and simple tricks that you can use to monetize your ad-sense better on your websites:

• Adsense ads with a white background always seems to work best.  You always want the ads to fit in within your site colors/design as much as possible, so if you are able; try to use a white background and a faint border.
• Since people read left to right, it only makes sense to place your ads in the first place they see – on the right.  Having your ads display in the left and right sidebars will optimize the viewing time of your ads.  The user will begin reading your blog post with the ads on the left, and then end with viewing the ads on the right.
• Keep track of the CTR’s throughout your site(s), and be sure to remove any ads that have a low CTR (Click Through Ratio).  By keeping a 5%-7% CTR, this will prevent Smart-Pricing.
• Don’t ever use image ads when you are advertising with Adsense.  Image ads tend to bring in a much lower payout.
• Just under your logo/header area, place a 728 x 15 link ad.  Since this is the very first ad placement your visitors will see, it will usually bring in the greatest CTR.

Unlike other Twitter marketing methods where the object is to spam Twitter to gain traffic, in this method, we will actually be doing the opposite.

This method works on the basis of trust that you automatically build from your username and Twitter profile.

So how does it work?

First, go and find yourself a list of television shows.  The more popular the show is, the most traffic that you will receive.  You will then be using these television shows as your Twitter username and acting as the “official” Twitter account for the show.

This will give you instant trust to those that are fans of the show.

When you have found a show and created a username, make sure that your account looks legit and look as though it is actually an official account.  You can do this by simply creating a nice profile description about the show and uploading a background of the show.  Usually you can find wallpaper background pretty easily just by doing a simple Google images search.

You will then need a main site in which your content will feed from and direct visitors too.

Setup a WordPress blog that looks as if it would be associated with that television show.

With your new WordPress blog, you will need the following:

• Feeds from more popular blogs about this show
• “FeedWordPress” plugin
• “Delete Duplicate Posts” plugin
• “Duplicate Bye Bye” plugin
• utopia38/U-Cron” plugin

The FeedWordpress plugin will grab the RSS feeds/articles from these sites that you show and then auto-insert the content into your blog.  The utopia/U-Cron plugin will then act as your cronjob to auto-run the FeedWordPress plugin.

So far, you should have the following all set up:

• Twitter Account
• WordPress site
• WordPress content

You then need to link your twitter account with your WordPress account so that it feed’s Twitter automatically.  This can be done using www.dlvr.it

With Dlvr.it, you can setup any feed to auto post to any number of Twitter accounts.  When you are setting up your Dlvr.it feed, be sure to include the hashtag (#) with the name of the show.

That’s it!

Now create 50 accounts, and you’ll be driving automatic traffic.

Through WordPress, you could also just redirect all incoming traffic from Twitter to another website or page that may have a sale offer.

First and foremost, preparation is everything.

As I am sure that you have noticed, I haven’t posted anything further in the last couple of days.  This is of course because I have being preparing.

While money is easy to make, it can also be quite hard at the same time.  You have literally millions of people that you are competing with to make an internet fortune.  So, if you ever plan on making any money online – you must have a plan of action.

So what kind of plan am I talking about?

Well….first, I’d highly that you write everything down.  Any plan that you create should be well choreographed (just a fancy word for a sequence of events).  Everything needs to be laid out prior to any work actually being done.  This helps you to know what exactly the tasks are that you need to complete on any given day.  This will also help you track what you have done and what works and what doesn’t.

For example:

Start by writing down the broad tasks that you are going to complete.  Such as…

• Twitter Marketing
• Craigslist Posts
• Forum Banner Ads
• etc…

Ok, now that you have your broad tasks written down; this will keep you on track as you write down a plan for each broad task.  This problem with many internet marketers as they start out is that as they begin, they don’t stay on task and often move from task to task without completing or sticking to their initial tasks.  Because of this, many internet marketers make little to no real money.  ”Pop” change is made overnight, real cash and revenue is always made in the long term.

So how would you go about creating your task plans?

In this example, you will simply be writing down the task, frequency of the task, and the task to be completed.

Individual Task Plan Example:

Task Title: Twitter Marketing

Frequency: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Tasks: 

1. Choose a niche/keyword
2. Create WordPress auto-blog
3. Grab feeds related to niche/keyword
4. Setup Twitter Auto-Posting

This is of course an example, but you will want to be as detailed as possible.

Now that you have your tasks all laid out, it’s now time to get started.  But be aware!  Staying on task is the key to making money.  The moment the you start to get side-tracked is the moment that you start to lose money!

There are a lot of guides out that that will attempt to lure you in by saying that they have a method to striking it rich online.  While some e-book methods do actually work, the majority of the people that right the ebooks at either talking out of their butt, used a great method once – but is now saturated, or they just got lucky.

However, there IS a lot of money to be made online.  You just have to know where is it and how to get it.

In this guide, I won’t be giving you a method to drive traffic or make some easy cash.  Instead, I have decided to document my travels to $4,000 in just 30-days.

By starting without anything with just a simple hosting plan and $50 in spending cash, you will have the opportunity to now see how I will reach my goal of $4,000 in just 30-days.

I do have to warn you though, it won’t be easy.  Making money does take a lot of work, skill, and a little bit of luck; while using a wide variety of online methods.

The key area’s of marketing that I will primarily be working in:

• Affiliate Marketing – Ads + Selling other products
• CPA Offers
• Twitter
• E-mail List Generation
• Auto Blogs
• Clickbank
• Web Development

While this may seem like quite a bit of tasks, it is important that you diversify your revenue streams.  Each method of revenue will go up and down depending on the time of year and day of the week.

Before we begin, you are probably wondering why the title says “Fake Downloads”?  Well, the easy answer is because it is much easier to make money when your site doesn’t get shut down and you aren’t infringing upon any copyrights.

With that said, let’s begin.

Go to Blogger and create a new blog that is keyword high.  Keyword density is everything when you are using Blogger.  For example, if you are offering downloads you might want to make your subdomain something like “free-downloads.blogger.com” or “free-nulled-downloads.blogger.com”.

It’s always best to use a keyword or keywords that people would use when they are doing a search.  Imagine that you are in the users “shoes” and you are searching for that download or downloads.  So whatever you would place in the search bar, make that your subdomain.

Now that you have your Blogger blog in place, create a new post.  Inside the post, you are going to want to place the content that is in the sales page.  However, due to Google’s new algorithm’s, even copied content is considered “stealing”.  So you are going to want to copy that content and auto spin it using http://www.freearticlespinner.com/

When you have your spun content, you can now place it in your Blogger post content area.

You are going to want to make your title appealing and keywor heavy as well.  A good way to get a lot of hits is by including “[GET]” at the beginning of the title.  This is used often in forums, which simply means that this particular software or download is available.  When people see “[GET]“, they immediately recognize that this means that the download that they want is available.

Within the post, you will want to create a link.  All you have to do is link back to the items sales page.  The link simply makes your post look like its the “REAL DEAL” and not just some fake RSS post or something.

So…how do you make money from this?

Well, it will generate traffic.  With traffic, you are able to monetize with unlimited methods.

The best way that I have found to monetize with this method is to use a content locker.  Content Lockers simply lock the content from being accessed until a given action is complete.  So in this aspect, you would setup a content locker with your CPA offers.  Once they complete a CPA offer, then the content will show and they are able to click on the link for their “download”.

Why does this work???

Because people always want what is free!  And people will do just about anything they can do get things that are free.  This includes filling out a simply survey or email submit offer to get to the download link.

That’s it!  Now, you should expect anywhere from 20-40 visits per day with this.  Do this 5 times a day and thats almost 200 hits per day that multiplies each day you do it.  So within a week, you should have over 1,000 hits per day going to your content locked pages!

In regards to the content locker, this gets a little tricky and I may post an article on this at a later time.

You can download a Blogger content locker here:

GET TWITTER TRAFFIC USING TRENDS:

As you may already know, I am a big fan on WordPress.  Purely because of how versatile is can be.  You can use it as a blog, as a CMS system, or simply a carrier to transfer information back and forth – all within a nice pre-designed / pre-created administrative panel.

This method is fairly simple and takes little to no knowledge of marketing or SEO in order to successfully get yourself up and running.  Both Google and Twitter make it super easy through what they call “Trends” to find out what the latest and most popular topics are that people at chatting about at any given moment.

By capitalizing on the latest trends, you are able to drive an enormous amount of traffic with relatively little work on your part.

This is how it works; you use WordPress as a carrier of information to post a latest trends topic on Twitter.  Then, every time that someone does a search for that trend, you tweet will show up – hence gaining exposure and traffic back to your site.

This is what you will need:

• A Twitter Account
• A WordPress Blog
• An Auto Rss Tool such as WP Autoblog or WP-O-Matic
• Twitter Poster Plugin

Now that you have everything that you need…let’s get started.

Go to Google Trends or Twitter Trends and locate the latest topics that are trending at the moment.  Be aware that these trending topic do change on a daily basis, so to drive the most traffic you will have to change your trends up on a daily basis.

Once you have your trending topics, go to Google BlogSearch and grab the RSS feeds of a few of the more popular blogs.

Then insert the RSS feed URL into your Auto RSS tool/plugin that you have, and new posts will be pulled into your blog.

As each new post is pulled into your blog, your Twitter account will then be auto updated with the new post and a link to your website blog post.  As people search for the trends in Twitter, your post will show up causing people to click on it and be redirected back to your site.

Depending on how many trends you publish and how on top of the trends you are, you can easily generate anywhere from 500 – 1,500 visitors a day.

Just in case you haven’t given it any thought, every time you create a new site on Google webmaster it allows Google to track your website activity through your entire web portfolio.  In essence, it works similar to a rapsheet or record of your online activity.

So when Google feel’s that you are doing something “shady” on one of your site’s, you can bet that the rest of your sites within your “portfolio” are being closely monitored as well.  Google implemented this to basically give them a 1-up and to closely monitor all web activity.

So, by now you may be thinking…”well, I will just delete my webmaster account then.”  Not so fast. Google is a little smarter than that.  Just like with Facebook where you are unable to fully delete your account, this works the same with Google’s web tool’s.  Even though you may think that you have successfully deleted your website record, Google in fact hang’s on to them and continues to monitor your account based upon ALL websites you have listed in the past.

Don’t believe me?  Try to attached your Google Account to your Digital Point account and you will quickly see all of your websites that are associated with your Google Account – even the ones you have deleted years prior.

From doing a quick search, I am obviously not the only one that has noticed this.  It seems a new market has opened up for “premium google accounts.”

This image was taken using Google Insight with the keyword “buy google account”.

I have been using this method for quite some time, and it continually amazes me how much Google love’s Digg.

With any blog post or website page that you create, you should always have a targeted title, this is just SEO 101.  The more targeted your title is, the better your chances are at ranking in the search engines.  For example, you wouldn’t want you title to be “seo optimization” because you will never rank.  But rather a better more optimized title would be something that you would search for yourself such as “design your site for seo optimization”.

You can also find great keywords using Google’s Keyword tool or SEMRush.

Ok, now that you have your page content and optimized title, it’s now time to Digg.  Simply head over to Digg.com and digg your post/page.  Once you Digg-it, you will then need to notify the search engine bots that you have a new post/page.  You can do this by using another great tool called Pingler.com that will ping your page and then wait about 20 minutes.

If you have chosen the right title and keywords within your post, your Digg submission will now be on the top 3 pages of your title keyword.

Now, it’s time to boost your rankings of your actual page.  Like I said earlier, Google loves Digg.  So basically, the more Digg’s that a page has, the more attention you will receive from Google.  Why?  Because, if you have Digg’s, you post/page must be important.

So head over to Fiverr, and grab yourself 100-200 Digg submissions.  This will cost about $10.

With 100-200 Digg’s, your page/post should be ranking on the 1st page within 24hours if you chose your keywords correctly.

We all know the popularity of free downloads. By offering free downloads, you are able to drive mass amounts of traffic by filling a need that is constant – the need of wanting not to have to pay.

When you browse around the net, I am sure that you have noticed the mass amounts of free downloads that are available in forums and warez sites; not to mention sales pages and WSO’s. When I see these, I don’t see great product, I see traffic and dollar signs.

So how much traffic can you drive with downloads? Well…A recent download I have available for a very hot product brought in over 700 downloads in one day! Now, multiply that by a week, a month, etc. There are literally hundreds of thousands of people on the internet at any given moment doing nothing but searching for available downloads.

The Method:

The goal is that we are going to use these downloads and products to drive out traffic to our affiliate ads.  We do this by distributing a link to our “download page” where the download is content locked, as requires an offer to be completed in order to reach the download.  However, by offering products that are available for free download on your website but require a cost by the original creator – this can at times cause issues, and honestly…it just takes longer.  If you can save 10 seconds somewhere…DO IT!  So instead of actually having a real download link under the content locker, the “download button” will just go to the product sales page.

1. Search for the latest/hottest products/downloads that are available at the moment. A great way to find this stuff is by going on to:

• Warrior Forum WSO
• Blackhatworld - In the Sales Section (Internet Marketers tend to download a lot of products)
• ClickBank
