The Today Show Jumps On Mommy Blogger Bandwagon With TodayMoms

As Mommy bloggers steadily grow in ranks, the segment is beginning to wield more influence in both the blogosphere and on the web as a whole. And it looks like NBC is waking up to the potential power of this audience. The media company is launching a web-based offshoot of the Today Show, called TODAYMoms.com. Unsurprisingly, the site is currently sponsored by Walmart.

The site will offer parenting news, advice and tips from the show, and wants to engages web-savvy mommies in engaging with the site. There will be a considerable amount of web-exclusive content, and NBC says that they want to create a mobile destination for the site, and perhaps in an iPhone app. It appears that the site will be partly a social network, as moms will be encouraged to create a profile, share photos and participate in the blog via comments and reviews.And the site features a large amount of video content, which is partly on-air segments from the Today show and original content.

The “mommy” audience is a growing segment of web-users that are steadily looking to the web for advice, support and to simple express themselves. We just wrote about the fast growth of Circle Of Moms, a social network for mothers, has seen in the past year. And more Moms are turning to the iPhone and other smartphones to organize and manage their lives. It’s smart for NBC to try and engage this audience in a meaningful way. TODAYMoms’s interface is simple and could use some sprucing up. And the site would be wise to add a few interactive tools for Moms to use as well.

Improve Your Search Rankings with Internal SEO

Earlier this year I wrote a post about the stimulus package that passed Congress in February. I titled the post Government Stimulus Package because I thought the only thing it was stimulating was government. I got lucky with this, because apparently a lot of people searched for the phrase “government stimulus package” to learn about what was in it.

The post did ok on Digg and Reddit, nothing spectacular but it brought in some traffic. It may have gotten a few other links, but not a ton. A few days after the post was published, I noticed that I was getting some traffic the search engines. The post was on the front page of Google, around 6 or so for the keyword phrase “government stimulus package.” This is the first step in improving your SERPs.

Google Adsense – The Easiest Money To Make Online?

For the last couple of months, Google Adsense has dominated forums, discussions and newsletters all over the Internet. Already, there are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.
-
The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.
-
With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.
-
For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.
-
There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmasters and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.
-
1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website.
If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.
-
2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit.
By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.
-
When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.
-
With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.
-
The possibility of adding a 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements are yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of webmasters and publishers all around the world if they ever sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.
-
The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 urls. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem “useless”.
-
With Google Adsense, the possibilities are limitless. Yet there is also the possibility of someone taking advantage of the easy money process that this internet marketing is doing. If you think more about it, these negative factors may force Google to break down and thrash Adsense in the process. If that happens, people would have to go back to the old ways of internet marketing that does not make money online as easy as Adsense.
-
For now, however, Google Adsense is here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

35 Ways to Make Money With Your Blog or Content Website

A few weeks ago I attended a conference where a leading blogger was asked how blogs should make money. His reply was “start with Google Adsense and once you have built up a decent size audience sell display ads and sponsorship”.

It is this blinkered thinking which is stopping many bloggers and content website owners from realising the commercial potential of their sites. There are actually dozens of ways of making money from a good content website. Here are over 30 ways that I have come across. Please add any others in the comments below.

Advertising

Text Ads – short text ads automatically displayed on a page based on the context of the content. Google AdSense dominates the market.

Display Ads – Banner and button ads displayed at the top or to the side of content

Video Ads – Short video ads embedded into a page. They can be auto-play (annoying!) or be clicked to play. There is usually an example on the Yahoo.com home page

In-Content Ads – Ads that are linked to keywords within articles. Learn more at InLinks.com

Classifieds – User submitted classified ads. Craigslist is the gorilla, but lots of content websites have niche classifieds. Take a look at RockyMountainNews.com Classifieds

Jobs Board – Paid job listings. A good example is SmashingMagazine Jobs

Pre-roll/post-roll video ads – Short ads at the beginning and end of video clips. Being trialled by YouTube

Paid Reviews – charge companies or individuals to review their book, product or service. Learn more at ReviewMe.com

Pay Per Post – offer to write posts mentioning a product, company or service for a fee. Can be unethical if commercial interest not declared. Learn more at PayPerPost.com

Advertorial – Allow customers to publish their own articles promoting their products or services for a fee. Make sure you clearly mark articles as advertorial to maintain your independence and integrity. Example of Rackspace Advertorial

Sponsorship – Charge for sponsorship for all or part of your website. Usually fixed price agreements for a fixed period of time. Example of a Time article sponsored by FedEx

Directory Listings – create a directory and charge suppliers to be listed, or list every supplier and charge for an enhanced listing. Example of an enhanced directory listing on financial advisors website

Affiliate Marketing

Commissions for Actions – you get paid every time an action is completed e.g. email newsletter sign up, trial sign-up, survey completed, etc. For example you can get paid a commission every time a free copy of the Firefox browser is downloaded. Sign up for a Google AdSense account

Commissions for Sales – you get paid a fixed commission or percentage share of sales value. Learn from Commission Junction

Lead Generation – generate leads on the website and sell them to prospects. Learn from Approved Index

Commission For Events Promotion – promote events in your industry in exchange for a commission on ticket sales. Approach any event organiser

Ecommerce

Digital Product Sales – sell products that can be downloaded over the internet. They can include ebooks, research, software, reports, music, video clips, etc. Go to Clickbank.com to see dozens of downloadable products

Physical Product Sales – stock, sell and ship your own products. For example CannotStopSmoking.com sells electric cigarettes

Dropship Sales – sell products that are stocked and shipped by the manufacturer or wholesaler. To learn more have a read of Wikipedia Dropship entry

Pay Per View – sell one-off access to service. Take a look at The Geological Society for an example

Pay Per Article – sell one-off articles. Example on the RSC Journal website

Auction Sales – auction products or services from your site

Marketplace – match buyers and sellers and facilitate payment.Take a look at EditAvenue.com, a marketplace for editors.

Merchandise – If you have a popular site with a loyal audience you can sell branded merchandise. Try using CafePress.com

Photo and Video Sales – you can sell images and videos direct from your site or through services like FotoMoto (www.fotomoto.com)

Subscription

Paid Membership Access to Premium Content – subscription for month, quarter or year to get access to member-only content and resources e.g. HerbMentor.com

Premium Membership to Upgrade Free Services – provide an enhanced service to paid members. Can be on a forum, information website, social network, etc. For example DNForum.com has a premium membership

Subscription to a Webservice – enable people to subscribe to a service. Take a look at Ancestory.com to see a service that charges for access to research data.

Subscription to an Online Course – enable people to subscribe to an online course with modules being delivered every week or month e.g. SEOBook.com

Subscription to Archive Material – After a fixed time period archive content, then sell subscriptions to this archived data. MarketingSherpa.com publishes all their articles for free for one week, after which time customers have to subscribe to their archive

Subscription to a Podcast – Create a regular high quality podcast and sell it for a monthly subscription. For a directory of paid-for Podcast go to Premiumcast.com

Participation /Events

1. Look at Your Stats

Find out which pages you are getting traffic to from the search engines and what keywords are being used to get there. This is where we need to focus. Improving your ranking for a term from 7429 to 43 takes your traffic from 0 to 0. If you can improve from 9 to 1, you will see a huge increase in traffic if it is a phrase that people are searching for.
