buy sell ads revisited

Yes, it is time that I turned my attention on making money from blogs through space selling. It is quite some time since I explored on new blogging for money avenues and especially by selling ad space.

One of the top rated (not by me ) players in this field is Buy Sell Ads (BuySellAds.com) and I saw some big advertisers in their inventory. The bloggers who want to publish ads on their blogs to get paid can earn handsome money for just placing an advertisement but blogs criteria for approval by BuySellAds.com will turn away most of the bloggers.

BuySellAds.com is an online advertising network, a sort of meeting point for bloggers and advertisers that helps advertisers to find Web sites and blogs best suited for their ads and budgets.

Earning money by blogging opens many avenues for bloggers and selling ad space is definitely the easiest way because it involves almost nothing on your part to do anything to earn money.

8 Main Providers for RSS Feeds Monetization

RSS feed is a popular data format used for serving users frequently updated content and they offer great opportunities to publishers who are looking for alternative systems to generate revenue from their original content.

An RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. 

With the growing popularity of RSS feed-based syndication, many Internet publishers became concerned that subscribers to their RSS feeds would not be exposed anymore to the advertising on their web pages, as some readers could now read all of their content inside their RSS reader. In this light, some decided to publish only a short part of their articles in their RSS feeds so that those interested would click through to their site to read the rest of the content.

While initially this approach has given good results to those using it, recently more and more online publishers have decided to provide the full content of their articles inside their RSS feed not to alienate those readers on the move or offline who were frustrated by their inability to read the full content of the articles without clicking through to the main site.

Several years ago, several companies started to offer the opportunity to automatically insert ads inside RSS feeds. These RSS feed monetization services enable publishers to place ads inside their RSS feeds and earn money when these are read or clicked upon.

The revenue models offered by these RSS feed monetization services are different ones: they span from CPC, CPM to flat rate plans; additionally, publishers can choose between contextual text-based ads, banners and interstitial ads, which are often completely customizable.

Consider the following points, while exploring the topic of RSS Feed Monetization and developing a relevant strategy:

• Type of ads: the typology of advertisement offered, whether contextual or random text links, banners, interstitial ads, etc.
• Every how many posts the ad is shown: the exact positioning of ads within the RSS feeds.
• Ability to select and approve the ads: the possibility for the publisher to choose which ads can be included and which cannot.
• Stats about ads performance: the availability of a control panel that allows the publisher to monitor the revenue and performance of ads within RSS feeds
• Rate: the method of payment offered to the publisher, whether CPC (Cost Per Click), CPM (Cost Per Mille – which estimates the cost per 1000 views of the ad) or flat rate
• Requirements: special requirements that the publisher needs to have in order to insert ads in her RSS feeds (which might correspond to a high authority, pagerank and number of RSS feeds subscribers).

Main Providers

What Is Query Ads?

AdSense ready Wordpress themes cannot serve the purpose.

I wonder why people use the so called, "Adsense ready Wordpress themes'! What is so special in them? In fact, they look pretty ordinary when compared to templates I am seeing at hell of a lot of places.

I firmly believe adsense ready Wordpress Themes cannot increase your adsense clicks.

AdSense is a hot topic always. We all read adsense related discussion that are ubiquitous. Everyone is voicing opinion about placement of Google ads, layout of then, color combination are essential in increasing Adsense income.

Everyone is so oblivious about the quality of Google ads that plays the vital part in enticing a click. The title and those two sentences in a Google ad is the sole deciding factor for AdSense income.

A Google ad may lead to a very valuable product or great information but it is the quality of the copywriting that decides the fate of clicks.

If AdSense publishers stop spending time in experimenting with the placement of Google AdSense ads and volunteer to write adwords for advertisers, they will be helping both the parties.

Let me be the first to offer my adwords writing services. Advertisers on Google may please contact with their requirements. Pay me only if you are satisfied with my work.

Do men’s life style differs from women?

Do men’s life style differs from women? After all, every body in a house eats the same food. They all sleep for eight to ten hours. Every one drives car, go to shopping individually also.

Why then men’s health needs are different? Why there are exclusive vitamins for men? Do they contain any special ingredients or extra percentages of some of the ingredients?

Once I was surprised when my son’s doctor prescribed him a vitamin for improving his memory that was different than the one my sister’s daughter takes for the same purpose.

When queried, I was not convinced with the doctor’s reply. However men and women are biologically different, a vitamin is a vitamin and it simply cannot differentiate on whose body it goes to work-eh?
