Best Ad Networks for Publishers

 

Are you new to blogging and looking for information on the best ad networks for small publishers? Obviously, if you are looking to monetize your blog, you know you need to sign up to an ad network. Joining an ad network is relatively easy.

[See: Have A Blog And Want To Attract Customers?]

You will need to apply to the ad network, and if your application is accepted, you will be given a snippet of code, which you use copy and paste on the web pages where you want the ads to be displayed. Once the ads are in place, you can forget all about them and focus on growing your traffic by producing quality content. The ad network will make money for you for as long as you want it to.

So how much money can you make from an ad network? This depends on the traffic received by your blog. There are bloggers who get millions of page views per month, and they make a six-figure income very easily with an ad network. There are others who hardly get any page views and would be lucky to make a couple of hundred dollars a month from their ad network.

As you can see, there’s a huge disparity in how much money bloggers make from their ad networks, but this has more to do with the quality of their blog and their web traffic than with the ad network itself.

Ad networks pay you on a Pay Per Click (PPC) basis or Cost Per Thousand. PPC means you will get paid every time visitors to your website, click on your ads. Cost Per Thousand or CPM means you will get paid a certain amount for every thousand clicks received by the ad.

Before we tell you about the best ad networks for bloggers – here is something you should know. You should NEVER click on your own ads or ask your friends to do it for you. Ad networks have ways of finding out and when they do, they will not hesitate to ban your account.

Here are the best ad networks for small publishers…

1. Google Adsense

Google Adsense is the world’s preeminent pay per click ad network. A vast majority of bloggers around the world uses Google Adsense. Adsense offers one of the best CPC (cost per click) rates and shows highly targeted ads that are likely to earn you the highest revenue. The CPC rate on Adsense varies from $0.02 to $15, depending in the location of the visitor and the niche that the blog or website operates in. Google Adsense allows responsive Ads, text ads, display ads, link ads and match content ads. The minimum payout on Google Adsense is $100. Payments are made by check and wired transfer.

Why You May Want to Have a Look at an Alternative to Google Adsense?

While Google Adsense is the perfect ad network, it is not easy for new bloggers, especially from countries such as India or China to join Adsense. Google expects your blog to be at least 6 months old if you are from these countries before you are allowed to join. Also, Google has strict rules over the content – you are not allowed to post anything sexually graphic or controversial on your blog if you want to remain on Adsense. That’s why many new bloggers from emerging countries look for Adsense alternatives. We look at 3 of the best Google Adsense alternatives out there.

2. Bidvertiser

Bidvertiser is actually the oldest pay per click site, even older than Google Adsense. It is considered to be one of the top alternatives to Adsense because it is much easier to apply for and doesn’t really care too much about the nature of your content. Bidvertiser’s CPC rates vary from approx 0.02 to $10. It has a low minimum payout of $10 and pays via PayPal. The ad formats served by Bidvertiser include banner ads, domain parking, In-text ads, XML Feed ads and contextual ads.

3. RevenueHits

RevenueHits is a popular PPC ad network for bloggers who hope to generate more revenue with contextual and geo targeted ads. It is very easy to join RevenueHits, in fact, the processing of applications is automatic. The ad formats on this network include display ads, pop ups and text ads. The minimum payout is low, just $50. RevenueHits is a popular AdWords alternative as there no restrictions on bloggers of any sort, as long as they follow certain basic rules, such as not clicking on their own ads.

4. Chitika Ads

Chitika is perhaps the most popular alternative to Google Adsense. Chitika rewards clicks gained from organic search traffic only – which is a drawback – but offers very good CPC rates. Chitika serves search targeted ads, mobile ads and local search ads. However, you will need a minimum traffic on your blog in order to get accepted into Chitika’s network. Chitika also has an excellent referral program which allows you to make money by referring the ad network to your friends. The minimum payout on Chitika is $10 by PayPal and $50 by check.

Wall Street Laptop: The Future For Investing Online

 

Invest online
The opportunity to build a nest through investing online.

 

The internet has changed nearly everything about our everyday lives, and personal finance is no exception. From the availability of top-notch research, to real-time market data, individuals have more tools for successful saving, trading and investing, than ever before. In fact, vehicles that were once only available to a select few are now an option for many. This opening up of the financial world to more and more people, does not come without risks, but the prudent investor has nothing to fear. Lower fees also play a significant part in this new democratization of the financial markets. Those who would previously not be considered qualified to open an active trading account at a traditional brokerage house, now have many online account options available to them. From Forex trading to Dividend Reinvestment Plans, the internet has altered the environment of personal investing forever. Let’s take a more in depth look at how these changes in technology have affected some of the available vehicles in today’s market:

Forex – foreign currency trading is likely one of the most impacted investment vehicles influenced by technology. The technological advances in this category have centered mainly around the trading platforms themselves.

Forex
Forex involves the trading of foreign currencies.

These software developments have enabled anyone with an online trading account very near the same degree of access to the foreign currency market as well as to macro and micro level economic and global political data that has a swift and intense impact on this segment of the market.stock market

 

 

 

 

 

Stock market – the stock market has long been an available investment option for those with a brokerage account. Now, technology has made direct, active stock trading an option for anyone with an internet connection. Online accounts, once a source of confusion and mistrust, have grown to become as ubiquitous as online bill paying. Almost all multi-national banks offer an investment account along with their checking and savings accounts bundle. Online trading of the stock market is enhanced by streamlined and very user friendly platforms that are readily available.

Dividend Reinvestment Plans – known more colloquially as DRIPs, this financial vehicle enables the holder to purchase additional stock shares, usually without a commission, as part of their ownership program. Additionally, investment accounts can be set up to reinvest any cash dividends paid into the account by purchasing additional shares of any stock currently held in that portfolio. These programs benefit both the investor as well as the issuing company and are often utilized by investors looking to maximize their earnings.

Swing Trading – similar to day trading, swing trading is a short-term strategy wherein holdings can last between a couple of days up to a full two week period. This strategy relies heavily on momentum and technical analysis and was probably not a very likely strategy for individual investors prior to the recent advancements in data accessibility necessary to conduct useful technical analysis. Swing trading is named thusly to differentiate it from the concept of day trading. Swings are held overnight, usually from two to six days, while as the name suggests, day trades are closed out by end of business on that same day. The availability of the data necessary to make informed trade, be they swing or day trades, is a direct result of the technological advancements made in the area of personal finance and investing.

Penny Stocks – these stocks are generally traded over the counter (OTC) in a non-regulated environment. Due to their extremely low capitalization levels and reputation for inherent high risk, these stocks were once only available at the institutional level via “pink sheets”. The advent of technology and the greater accessibility of all market vehicles have opened up the exchange to penny stocks to individual investors. According to the Securities Exchange Commission, any stock with a price level below five dollars is classified as a penny stock; which in today’s environment is a bit of a misnomer. There are very few, if any regulations, in the trading of these stocks, and their volatility and the dearth of information available on the issuing firms, make this vehicle suitable for only a small group of investors. Although these are publicly traded stocks, there is a real lack of available information so it is best to proceed with a great deal of caution.

 Timothy Sykes demonstrates how to utilize the Internet for Penny Stocks.

Precious Metals – gold and silver have been investment vehicles for millennia and the advent of technological advances has only served to increase the popularity of the trade of these precious metals. Mainly used as a hedge against volatile markets, holdings in silver and gold have remained a constant in every diversified portfolio. The internet has increased the ease of purchase for these instruments as well as provided a lot more information about global trends and forecasts that can alert the savvy investor as to when there may be a need for safe harbor during a financial storm.

Investing and Saving for Retirement – the creation of a healthy nest egg is often the end goal that prompts individual investors to get their start. With the continued increase of life expectancies after the age of retirement, having a personal means of support is always a highly recommended component of any investment portfolio. The advancements in technology have created an environment where successfully managing one’s own financial portfolio is a viable option. The increase in personal, online brokerage accounts is perhaps the most prevalent result of the technological boom in the personal finance sector. The individual investor who is saving for retirement and building a nest egg for the future, now has myriad options available for a robust investment portfolio. In addition to the greater access to trading platforms and market data, the lower fees that are realized at online accounts are demonstrably less than the hefty ones leveraged by traditional brick and mortar firms. This factor is one that needs to be considered when mapping out retirement investing.

Democratized And No Longer Exclusive To The Big Guys & Gals

Technology has advanced many industries, and the improvements in access, functionality, and information availability, in the financial sector have done much to level the playing field. Individual investors now have the opportunity to be nearly as informed and connected as their institutional counterparts, and the personal finance industry will continue to yield benefits for many years to come. Lower fees, top-level trading platforms, and an abundance of technical and historical data, are likely the most impactful changes brought on by technological advancements in the personal finance sector. Today, personal investing and building a nest egg for retirement are in reach to an ever growing segment of the modern world, and these advancements will help many more people create a healthy economic realty for themselves and their families.

Who would have imagined we would be able to watch TV online? Or better yet, stream movies online for free without downloading? Many of us know the feeling of ducking out of the sharp sunlight of a bright October day and into the warm, mahogany colors, enlivening aroma of roasted coffee beans, and the clacking and clanking cacophony of the dishes and tools in the back of a bustling coffee shop.

 

These often cozy and relaxing spaces are an unremarkable sight in the modern world, and it is also unremarkable to see many people wearing headphones, gathered up in a chairs alternately sipping a steaming beverage and tapping the keys of a laptop. This modern anomaly, wireless internet, has indeed changed the global landscape. Indeed, since the onset of mass internet connectivity, the global landscape of entertainment has experienced dramatic changes.

Online Media Offers More Options

It is no secret that the presence of online media providers have led to a general decline in the consumption of cable television programming in areas where the internet is easily accessible. This pattern is especially evident when we look at specific case studies.

[Select TV: Cut Your Cable And Save]

 

For example, the rise of Netflix has no doubt led to a decline in cable television subscriptions. According to the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, a one time there were 42.3 million subscribers to Netflix, compared with 26 million subscribers to DIRECTV, and 22.3 million for Comcast (Industry Data). Of course, the reasons for this pattern are obvious. Netflix offers a tremendously extensive television and movie library collection win constant circulation, and with a monthly subscription costing almost half that of a matinee movie theatre ticket. Moreover, considering the time, energy, and money spent on driving to the closest movie theatre cannot compete with Netflix, which is accessible anywhere with an internet connection, and this makes online media the logical choice.

Fire your cable guy, toss the remote and go Internet!

What’s more, perhaps there is not better example of a successful online media provider than internet juggernaut, YouTube. With over one billion users, according to the corporation’s website, which it also reports as almost one third of the world’s internet user population, it is clearly evident that YouTube may very well have also contributed to a pervasive and global decline of cable television subscriptions (Statistics).

The combination of accessibility, affordability, quality, and dependability that the company offers has fosters its exponential success. This organization appeals to individuals as well as various social, economic, and political organizations. For better of worse, YouTube has an enormous and loyal consumer base that encircles the globe, this giant online content provider far surpasses the number of users compared with the twentieth century’s cable television. Additionally, this pattern has even led to the development of media created solely for online consumption, also known as webisodes.

This third example of television shows created solely for internet users, or webisodes, have no doubt also contributed to a general departure from the previous century’s main entertainment technology. One obvious example which comes to mind is the success of the hit web series in recent years, “Funny or Die.” This online media studio organization has made a fierce competitor for cable-based comedy networks by offering the same combination of accessibility, affordability, quality, and dependability. Indeed, according this organization’s official website, one of the most popular videos has received more than 82 million views.

 

Streaming Service

Many emerging streaming providers are gaining steam among a new generation of web browsers. One such example goes by the name FilmOn TVFounded by Alki David, this internet -based platform was created in 2006 for free streaming content, as well as on demand videos. Additionally, the site includes premium programming. Members are also encouraged to create their own social channels to reach an audience in their niches.

And then there’s Viki TV, most known for content catering to Korean programming, as well as drama from, China, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. And best of all, the site features English subtitles for an international audience.

For all of these reasons, it is clear that the internet is the future of entertainment technology. And with this in mind, the question becomes how to succeed on a global online media platform. In order to answer this question, we can look to these same case studies to find out what has led their success. Netflix, for instance, succeeds in part because of its affordability, accessibility, wide selection of films, dependability, and speed. YouTube has the same fundamental strengths obtained from the integration of creative advertising, and even “Funny or Die” has followed suit. An enterprising online video producer will take notes on this approach and make sure to maximize foundational concepts of accessibility, dependability, speed, and so on. In this way, online media producers can maximize their consumer base.

Furthermore, there are numerous resources available to potential content providers. For instance, there are many online and printed publications which elaborate business and economic marketing techniques. In this way, the landscape of online media production is a rapidly growing and promising frontier.

 

 

 

Social Match Phrase and Domains From Hashtags

Social Match Phrase and Domains: The New Hope for the Future

social match phrase

Time was when a page filled with key-word-rich content, inundated with back links, and fitted nicely with an excellent domain name was all anyone needed to generate excellent rankings with Google. In the early days, such rankings were easily manipulated, and many website designers and content providers had found easy ways to rise above their competition for gold star hits. Those Googlers, though, are serious about their product and its effectiveness, though, and ever since those days, they have worked toward algorithms that nip rankings manipulation in the bud. Two of their most effective attempts to date have been Panda and Penguin.
When an algorithm causes your site to be flagged, the results can be devastating. For many businesses, professionals, and field experts, blog and site popularity is crucial to success, and so they will stop at nothing to ensure their sites are the first to be consulted in their realm of expertise.

For these people, like you, the effectiveness of these two algorithms is very important. In cases where the information supplied, the content provided, and the back links shared are of very good to excellent quality, Panda will have little effect. Such sites are written and maintained by providers who understand the nature of their own business and contribute to the ongoing and evolving discussions within their field. Their content is engaging, provocative, and extremely useful to those accessing it. Whenever and wherever these elements come into serious question and the answers seem dubious, site owners stand to fall in Google’s eyes and presentation.
Panda is designed to flag sites and pages that share thin, machine-created, duplicated, or otherwise questionable content.

Always working toward ensuring the highest quality results are returned to their searchers, Google has developed and honed this algorithm through many improvements. The effects are significant. Like Panda, Penguin determines which sites employ “black hat” or less-than-honest search engine optimization (SEO) methods. Specifically interested in pages that pad back links to garner undeserved attention, this algorithm serves some purpose but is not as effective as Panda.

Many niche site creators find that determining key words and generating exact match domains from those helps those searching for particular information or products to find them. Building their sites around the key words with relevant and valuable information, these providers stand to gain high Google rankings with Panda and Penguin approval, so long as they are respectful of the general integrity rules governing quality SEO.

Combining descriptive and accurate information with pointed domain names, the creators of valuable websites need not fear these algorithms. Instead of growing anxious that they may lose their optimum rankings, they should continue to work to provide content that is deserving of those rankings consistently and frequently. Additionally, they should remember that sites replete with duplicate or thin content will be sure to be noticed by Panda and those sharing numerous irrelevant or poor quality links will be flagged by Penguin.

Social Match Domains: The Pearly Gates of Hashtags

It should come as no surprise that time is of the essence when it comes to making money from blogs, domain flipping, and web publishing overall. Every day, innumerable people come to the web to make their daily wage or small fortunes. Marketing information, entertainment, and social comprehension, these entrepreneurs have their thumbs on the pulse of today’s audiences. Among the most important tools for entering any social media conversation is the hashtag. First introduced on Twitter as a means by which to streamline referencing and discussion, this tag type is, indeed, one of the most useful tools for those who take their web savvy straight to the bank.

As these prove to be elemental to modern conversation, it makes sense that web content creators would be interested in addressing their usefulness as domain names. A sense of that usefulness may be gleaned from considering the value that star power generates. In cases where the hashtag addresses interest in a particular celebrity or hero, everyone searching for information on that person may have a personal curiosity about the hashtag. Furthermore, even if they are not completely aware of the force a popular tag generates, the people employing it can be excellent sources for information, lead others to various sources of the tag itself, and help to create frenzy around the notion. Nearly all sites with any social media presence acknowledge trending topics, and this is directly related to the usefulness of the hashtags involved.

Choosing domain names that match social media hashtags enables those hoping to generate income from domain flipping and blogging to ride waves of popular content that may last quite a while. Regardless of the duration of the topics significance, a domain flipper stands to make a lot of money if she or he strikes while the iron is hot, so to speak. Waiting too long will result in loss of interest in the topic at hand and a lost opportunity for bloggers and entrepreneurs.

Those who hope to turn a great topic into social match domain greatness must remember that content is key. Once you have secured the domain name as your own, building its value through quality content generation makes the best sense. Every valuable bit of content you add to the site stands to help increase its value, and that means a better price when it is time to pass it on to a buyer.

Social Match Hashtags For Facebook Fan pages

For people looking to use popular phrases or hashtags to generate revenue on a Facebook page, the most important step is to generate page views. In this manner, a business can build a customer base that could potentially purchase a product from the company. In addition, the fan page would generate revenue from people looking to advertise on the popular page. The biggest hurdle to overcome involves generating page views from the popular hashtag or phrase.

When generating interest from a hashtag or popular phrase, there are some important tips to keep in mind. First of all, do not flood your Facebook fan page with an inordinate amount of useless hashtags. Search engines will catch on to this strategy and rank the page lower, making it more difficult to generate visibility for the page. Instead, use your page only to generate a conversation or further the discussion. For example, if the Facebook fan page involved a company that was marketing an online dating app, the hashtag (and page name) might be #onlinedatingapp. Notice that this phrase is something that people might use a search engine to locate. When people enter the phrase into the search engine, this fan page is likely to appear high on the list.

Next, make sure the viral words are specific to whatever industry you’re a part of. This means that if the industry has specific jargon that is employed by its members, take advantage of this jargon and turn it into a page based on that term. Many industries employ terminology that is specific to that arena. When these people search for specific items in search engines using this jargon, the Facebook fan page will appear higher on the list and generate more page views. This is a great opportunity to sell products to people in the industry or generate more ad revenue due to the popularity of the page.

5 Step Formula

In addition, try to incorporate the other aspects of social media and use this to drive traffic to the Facebook page. Perhaps the business already has an active twitter account with numerous followers. Anyone running this twitter page can easily tell what hashtags on the page generate more discussion from its followers than others. Take the most popular hashtag from the twitter account and use this to drive the Facebook fan page. People who enjoy the hashtag will likely flow directly to the Facebook fan page for more information. In addition, certain photos on Instagram receive more attention than others. This is easy to decipher based on the number of likes, comments, or shares a photo receives. Don’t be afraid to post these photos on the Facebook fan page either. This is a great way to increase traffic.

Furthermore, don’t be afraid to take advantage of other trends and use them on the Facebook page itself. For example, on Thursday popular hashtags are #ThirstyThursday or #ThrowbackThursday. Use these hashtags on the Facebook fan page as a way to increase the amount of traffic to a page on a given day. This will help to rope in readers who may read the rest of the content and decide to visit more frequently on other days

News and current events has also proven to be a hit for social match phrases. Below are a few terms that have been converted into Facebook pages and/or domains:

#DrainTheSwamp

#BasketofDeplorables

#RespekOnMyName

Instead of using the hashtags to join in on the discussion, these phrases have become actual pages to generate a large fan base with active engagement. By converting terms into pages, one has the opportunity to share content with their followers, which should include videos, photos, articles or content from a provider’s personal blog (preferably). Monetization may come from affiliate programs, products (Teespring, Zazzle, Shopify), or any service of a particular business.
While some might surmise that the death nail has been tapped on quick flipping domains, hashtag social match domains are a new twist on an excellent approach to web content generation.

Test it out by playing a song from your iPad. You should hear the over your entire system for “big” iPad sound!

2) Download the “Pandora” app for internet radio and “broadcast” the sound into your stereo system as well. This will allow you to include the cool technology of internet radio and music feeds from your iPad into your big system for big stereo sound.

3) Use a wireless transmitter for short wave broadcasting! You can purchase a wireless FM transmitter which will allow you to “broadcast your sound” over your stereo with no wires! Simply find a “non-existent” FM frequency, such as 88.1 on your FM radio, plug in the wireless transmitter to your iPad and hear the sound over your radio too. This even works in the car! Warning! As you pass other motorists, they may actually be able to pick up your broadcast if they happen to be on the same frequency, so make it some good music, OK?!

4) Create a “surround sound” environment. You can purchase extra speakers and a receiver (if you don’t already have one) to broadcast your iPad music throughout your house. Place small speakers on your walls, larger speakers in the back, and speaker pods throughout other areas where you want music to come through. Some people even enjoy putting them around their pool or outside furniture to enjoy sound anywhere.

5) Integrate other external equipment, such as karaoke machines or mp3 players so you can hear them all in “big sound” through your entire sound system. For a complete DIY home stereo experience, use the following ideas to pull it all together. Your iPad can be more than just a tablet that’s mobile which you take with you. It can be like a mechanical DJ that entertains you in 100% surround sound both at home and “on-the-go!”

Finally, in addition to the above tips, go to the Apple Store and download one of the virtual DJ apps. This will add even more functionality with your iPad for a full home stereo experience.

Make Way for The Black Fashion Bloggers

Make Way for The Black Fashion Bloggers

Black Fashion Bloggers

The fashion scene is constantly changing and social media has made it possible to keep up with its every single move. Popular sites like Tumblr, YouTube, Facebook and IG have opened the floodgates to the new-age fashion scene, giving designers, models and fashion consultants access to unlimited exposure. The best part about all of this is the fact that Black Sistahs all across the globe have been able to show off their style and gain worldwide popularity, giving them a platform on which to grow and expand. In light of the diverse opportunities available online, we previously gave a recommended list of Black women blogs. Here are a few of some of the best black fashion bloggers to check out (and support):

Folake Kuye Huntoon
Founder of StylePantry.com, Folake Huntoon can be found plastered among the Tumblr blogs of many fashion hopefuls. Her seemingly effortless style is eye-catching and elegant, featuring everything from city-slick to Afrocentric.

Gabi Fresh
This curvy beauty is the primary face of online plus-sized fashion “inspo”. Her style extends to those of us who are looking for a way to look chic no matter what size we may be. GabiFresh.com features many different Lookbooks that extend from effortless and comfy to club attire.

J’adore Fashion
Uzoamaka, or “Stella,” is a Nigerian native who grew up with the burning desire for fashion. Her blog, Jadore-fashion.com, features looks that are perfect for the working professional. Her elegance is reminiscent of First Lady, offering some chic inspiration for an otherwise drab business attire. She also incorporates traditional African prints into her looks as an ode to her homeland.

Vintage Virgin
Jessica Virgin, founder of Ms. Vintage Virgin, is a stay at home mom with some bomb thrift finds. This blog is perfect for those who are looking for some street style inspo, as Jessica’s style is unparalleled. Since her finds are mostly thrifted, it’s hard to copy but can be used as motivation to form your own sort of street style.

Faintly Masculine
Ariel Sansaricq’s blog, Faintly Masculine, features looks that combines menswear with feminine staples that result in some uniquely perfect looks. Blazers, oxfords, trousers and ties, Ariel’s style is the perfect marriage of masculinity and femininity, remaining completely undefinable yet classic.

Although a brief list, it’s an example of diversity in the blogging community. The blog platform is no longer confined to any one demographic or niche.  And these bloggers have taken advantages of the many opportunities (See: The Power of Blogging).
