Hi5 Journey – Making money online

Heh, 2 years ago I think, I was trying to make money online with adsense, only by posting comments on Hi5.com, most viewed profiles. It was a very simple process, for one hour of posting comments I was making around 150$/day, but why was it simple? Because I was redirecting huge traffic, around 30000-40000 unique users/day to my websites which were optimized for some high paying keywords, like cancer, banking… you know them :). Redirecting those users was very simple, all I need was a little flash object, with a width of 1px and height 1px, made of course with one of the simplest flash authoring tools, SwishMax, with the following code in it(saved it as a .swf file):

SocialMarker.com the new generation of socialbookmarking

socialmarker.jpg

As many of you know, last month Ed Dale presented some new ways of internet marketing in the Thirty day challenge. Now, this man is already rich, he made a lot of money online and sharing all those marketing tips for free makes him a fantastic man, an idol for some of us. Thank you Ed, but what I want to point out is that in one of their tutorials, they introduced Socialposter.com as a reference for social bookmarking websites. From here one of my mates enters the scene, his name is Sorin (soso) and after he saw that tutorial, he came with the idea of creating a new, better improved social bookmarking service. As I know him, he is very passionate in everything he does and so he created and released SocialMarker.COM, the best tool in present for sbookmarking (You can imagine this because the one and only Ed Dale said that the other tools, similar to this one, are good for the trashcan.
Here is the brief description for socialmarker (from the site): “Social bookmarking is a powerful tool in promoting a website. But going through all of those social bookmarking sites is very time-consuming and downloading all toolbars is madness! That’s where SocialMarker.com comes in, the free service designed to reduce the time and effort needed to socially bookmark a website.”
The above description is from the actual website and I totally agree with it because I’ve tested it. Everything they say is true, the time for submitting articles has been reduced to half, they have new futures like a special button for blogs and one for your firefox bookmarks toolbar, drag and drop and more things that you can find out on Sorins webdevelopment blog

PS: Thank you Sorin for this wonderful tool !!!

Clicksor and the new Ad MarketPlace

Clicksor Publishers Program Ad MarketPlace make money online

I just got an email form Clicksor Publishers Program saying that they decided to release a new version of Ad MarketPlace on 1.10.2007 with some new futures/benefits that will help you transform you blog into a money making blog. So here are the new futures:
First and maybe the most important is Controllable Rates. Why? Because you can set your own rates for CPM (Cost Per Thousand Impressions) and CPD (Cost Per Day) rates. This is nice because you can earn more money now with your own rates.
The second future is that you can increase your earnings by selecting advertisers from Clicksor’s partners network in order to fill your advertising space.
Third future will allow you to control the advertisements listed. So you can approve or disapprove the advertisers that show on your blog, website and you can match them to your website to increase the stickiness of your users. Also this is really good for advertisers because they will be better targeted and so they won’t pay money for traffic that isn’t interested in their content.
Fourth is that you can increase your website’s exposure. You can increase your online presence of your website and to people who are looking for audiences that your website provides. We will also do promotions for the Ad MarketPlace so your reach is limitless.
In the end, I think that Clicksor is giving all bloggers, webmasters the opportunity to make money with their work because of the way they are will be able to control the pricing as well as the future that allows them to accept or reject ads that aren’t targeted to their content. You can visit their website here if you aren’t a publisher yet (don’t worry it’s not a referral).

Same wordpress content on multiple domains

In the past few days I was looking for a wordpress plugin that could help me use two domains with the same content from a single blog. And of course, the world is so small that only one coder thought to make such a plugin. From my searches I found mkaleavy.org, a nice blog based more on the photography topic, but the thing is he had what I wanted and so I thank him. The plugin is called Domain mirror and it allows you to use multiple domains on the same wordpress blog as I mention previously, but it also changes all your links for every domain. An example, from the authors page: McAleavy or LightPainting and as you can see it also changes the blogs title and description. This plugin has two versions, v1.1 that is a bit old but stable and version 1.2 beta which I am using now with no problems from what I’ve tested. Here are the main futures from the authors page:

    New in v1.1

      You can now have a separate tagline on each domain.
      The Admin screen has a button to copy in the current Wordpress configuration to save on typing.
      The Admin screen has buttons to clear content from whole domains and indivudual lines.
    New in v1.2beta

      Theme switching.
      SERVER_NAME / HTTP_HOST config option.
      “no admin screen” switch.
      More validation.
      Added “stripcslashes”

Also the installation is very easy, you only have to unzip, upload the files to your wp-content/plugins and then enable it from your control panel. Besides that you have to park your new domain on the same folder your first domain is.
In conclusion, I thank him and you can find more info, download links on his blog or you can download it from my mirror (it’s the beta version)
