Makin The Money

I thought since it’s been a while since I last wrote I post I would let my readers know I am alive and planning on coming back. I have been very busy with classes and have not been able to do as much as I would like. I am working on another part of my Getting Your Site Out There series and hope to have that posting next week sometime. Until then I may or may not be able to post something, I’m not sure, but you will see me for sure on the first with my income report.

I have been using Google adsense for a while now and it has not been working for me as well as I thought it would. Yesterday while surfing the internet I was reminded as to why it was not working as well for me. It was because I was not optimizing it as well as I could and was not making the ad’s show the best of my sites. I have since been working on changing that and I will share with you how to do it also. You just need to know some code and you will have great money making experiences with Google. It’s not hard to do but you may want to write down the code somewhere so you can do it on your own.

You can choose where Google finds content for your ads by using this code:

<!--– google_ad_section_start –-->
<!--– google_ad_section_end  –-->

You can block Google by using this code:

<!--– google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) –-->
<!--– google_ad_section_end (weight=ignore) –-->

and, you can embed Google ad’s into your website or post with this code.

<div style=”float:left; margin: 10px;”><Your adsense code></div>

The last code does not always work so try to play around a little before you give up with it. I have used it on 3 blogs so far and it’s only worked right on one. I have seen a huge increase in my click though rate using these codes. It’s very helpful to be able to block the ad’s from reading post when you maybe write about something that doesn’t have a lot to do with your blog. Try it out and feel free to let me know how it works for you.

If your not liking the last code, as I do not, you can also check out adsense manager for word press.

Right now it’s still in beta until I can make sure all these mods I have added work. Other then that it should be open to the public sometime this week or next. I am still accepting beta testers so if you want to join and check it out sign up at cash and chat. I will have to manually approve you.

Eventually I plan on adding an invitation mod so people can invite friends. I had hoped to just do referral links, but there is not phpbb3 compatible mod for it. So right now you just post and earn points! I will also eventually be adding a shop mod for people to spend their points in.

I’m very excited about this as it’s the first time I’m doing a paid to post forum. I have a ton of great ideas, some I can do, some I can’t do because I cant write scripts. Hopefully someone will help me out eventually. Anyway again if your interested in beta testing or you just want to check it out (guest can read post) head over to Cash and Chat and let me know what you think.

It’s summer and everyone is out enjoying themselves. I’m not because it’s 9am and already 80 outside! it wouldn’t be too bad if it wasn’t so humid. Anyway I have been doing some reading and I have figured out that summer really is a slow time online. You would think with kids out of school it wouldn’t be, but it seems that people still go outside! It’s amazing.

I have decided that since things seems to slow down a little right now that it will be a good time to change things up a bit on my blogs and in other areas. I’ve already started a few things such as stopping my forum blogger love. No one was talking and it just was not worth my time. I am thinking of starting a get paid to forum, but I want a good set up and the invision power board. That cost money and I may have to find someone who can set up all the extra stuff like referral links, landing page and so on. I want it ready to go when it launches. This all depends on if an online friend of mine wants to continue with her forum. If she doesn’t I may see if I can buy it from her and use that one or just start my own.

Pretty much I’m telling you that things will be changing here on this blog and others I have. Please let me know if there is anything you like or don’t like. I’ll take it into consideration. Are you doing any summer fixing? If so feel free to link to your updated site I would love to take a look.

Now that social spark is live you should check it out. I am really happy I got in on this because it is a big thing that will really help average people make some extra money. The best part is that you don’t even have to write post for them if you don’t’ want to. You can just use their sponsorship and make some money that way. I have used one on this blog and I have another one set to start on here soon. The other thing I like about social spark is that they are search engine friendly. All links are no follow and you are required to show that the post is sponsored by using a badge, like the one at the bottom of this post. I also like it because I can give my honest opinion of a product or service without worrying about meeting a preset tone.

SocialSpark is different from other pay you to blog services. One it’s a social site so you can get on and talk to people and figure out who actually writes the blogs you read. I couldn’t believe how many blogs I have looked at but had no clue that the person wrote another blog I read sometimes. It’s nice to know that way you feel like you know the person better and can enjoy their blog that much more.

For any blogger looking to make some money from home Social spark is a great way to do it. Not only does it bring more traffic to your blog by getting you out there in the network, but you meet some great people and make good friends in the process.
