Make money with private advertising for your blog

As you may have noticed, many make money online blogs are slowly moving away from advertising networks like Google Adsense and moving toward the much more lucrative strategy of private advertising. This is a fairly simple transition for a blog of this size, but if you don’t have the audience size of John Chow — most of us don’t — then it can be pretty difficult to solicit private advertising. What can you do?

To address this very need, PlaceMyProduct.com was created. It’s described as an online auction site for product placement, sponsorships, and ads. They work as an intermediary, but unlike other networks, PlaceMyProduct takes a cut that’s much smaller than 50%. This is the eBay For Web Publishers and Advertisers

The major difference between the PlaceMyProduct online auction site and other advertising networks is that the pricing is not set in stone, but you have the scope to make more money with the higgest bid for the advertising space on your blog.

Just in a matter of few hours of creating my auction, I got a $10 bid for a 125 X 125 banner ad on my blog. Here is the proof, click on the widget and see for yourself.

I think this is a great platform to bring private advertisers and bloggers together in the marketplace for a win-win situation and maing more money online from private advertising media.

Drive quality traffic to your Blog

Google Base Listing is a cool way to drive more traffic to your blog. Simply create a listing of your blog on Google Base e.g. in format below and in no time you can even monitor all traffic coming to your blog.

http://base.google.com/base/a/2776557/D12342149049890231920

Next step is to track your Google Base Listings with Free Google Analytics tool.

At first glance, it would seem tracking listings from Google Base would be simple. However, since Base listings often appear within the regular search results on Google, it can be tricky to differentiate traffic from the two sources. One way to differentiate traffic is to create unique landing pages on your website specifically for Base listings. You can do this by simply creating two versions of the same page on your website, but giving one a slightly different name. Here's an example:

Regular landing page: http://ghostrider30.blogspot.com/
Unique Base landing page: http://ghostrider30.blogspot.com/2007/10/top-financial-niche-keywords.html

By creating two versions of the same page on your website and submitting the unique landing page URLs to Base, Google Analytics can show you exactly how much traffic is being sent to your website from Base. Just make sure to include the unique landing page URL in the link attribute of your bulk upload file.

PR0 to PR4 in 4 easy weeks

I know lots of webmasters and SEO gurus that say that PR (google pageRank - the little green bar on the google toolbar) is not worth that much but everyone is using it as a measure.

Webmasters refuse to exchange links with you if they think your PR is inferior to their website's PR. Lots of programs (reviewme.com ...) could reject your site because of low PR, some directory owners display the list of sites ordered with PR.

So ... here is some simple steps you can follow to get your sites PR higher than it is and maybe get some extra traffic while you are at it.

1. Post your link in forums using signatures and/or places that allow website reviews, put the site url in the signature with your target keywords for titles

2. Submit to free and/or paid directories (in general the younger the directory the easier would be to get accept it in it)

3. If you have other sites put sitewide links pointing to your new website. If sites are totally unrelated subject, put the links in the footer with small letter (the link still counts).

4. Put your link anywhere you can, without becoming a spammer (everyone hates spammers)

5. Find some high PR sites and pay for a link if you have to. There is lots of projects on the internet that accept donations as low as $50 and they put your link in a high PR page. For example text link ad page has a PR of 6.

6. Using your link in comment posts. This won't necessarily increase your PR but it could give you a few visitors if nothing else.

I established my tag cloud Google Income System network in December of 2006 and in less than a month following these rules I succeeded getting its PR from 0 to 4 and that is the reason I am writing this post.

For the record world experts net has been almost abandoned, unfortunatelly due to lots of things in my head and currently looking for ways to rebuild it into something new.

So no matter what some say, PR is in our lives and its worth something. I can describe it better with a metaphor, you don't need an Armani Suit but if you wear one people look at you differently. But, PR by itself is not going to get any money for your site, but having it will help get some extra attention, or better deals.
