Posts writen by others.
I got this email last night. The subject was: Robert, for Instant Cash add this Blog Post to your site (takes just 15 min!)
So of corse, I’m a blogged and I check it out quickly. After opening it, I deleted it. For some people these things work, and for others it does not. Within this email the was a already written out blog post for me to copy and paste on my blog. Talking about Clickbank services. It about making money online. This got me thinking, You can have other people write stuff for you. When you come across a blogger that writes articles you like, you can ask him to write one for you. The worst thing that could happen is they can say no.
When they get asked to write something for someone else they often feel honored. you can sweeten the deal by offering that person something extra. A link back to his blog, or anything else you can afford to give that person. Its a great way to get articles written and the other person will be happy ,because his name gets around and he gets more exposure to his blog/website.
So if you are a blogger, and you have no Idea what to write about or if you just want someone else to write something for you. Give it a try. You might like it.

Paying for Traffic?
Your blog/website is up, you have your tracking set up and you get about 5 to 10 visitors a day. You have links to your site, but you still can’t get your visitor count up?
One of the first things to remember is: are you writing good articles? you need to think to yourself “what would I want from this article?” If you have good articles and your traffic goes up a bit more, but still not enough. what then?
You can actually pay for visitors. There are multiple ways in witch you can do this. You can have an adwords campaign going. You can sign up with affiliate sites. You can also trade links on a credit basis. You can even offer some websites/bloggers money for a link to your site and a good review. (the latter is mostly frowned upon.)
I’ve decided to give it a test run, to see what the outcome is of it and if it is really worth the while. I’ve signed up with NewGenTraffic, and the way they work is quite interesting.
When you sign up, you get either a basic account, or you can pay for an account. When you pay for an account, you get alot more out of the deal. For me, I’ve signed up with the free account. The way my account works:
I get a code, that I can place on my website. Similar to Google adsense advertising. Ads get displayed everytime a page is loaded. When someone clicks on one of those ads, I get credit points witch I can use to promote my own website/blog. The person who’s ad gets displayed and was clicked on, uses one of his credits for that click. with New Gen Traffic you can also Buy credits. The more credits you have the more ads you can run on other sites and the more traffic you eventually get.
So you can either wait for some visitors to come to your website and click on those ads, or you can jump the gun and buy credits. With Google adwords it works the same. You sign up with adwords and decide to display ads and how much you want to pay per click. When people visit other sites that have google adsense displayed, and your ad is clicked. You get charged with a certain amount. (you can specify how much.)
In that way, you payed for that person to come to your website.
There are many other way’s in witch you can get traffic by using this system. I will let you know what results I get after a week or so.

Google adsense, make it work
Google Adsense and Pay Per Click
I’m sure you have seen some sections of websites lately that have a bunch of links in them, and at the bottom, it says Ad’s by Google.
That is actually advertising. (Surprise) now that we know what it is, here is the why and the how of it:
Google has a service that does Pay Per click (PPC) advertising. The way PPC works is that every time someone clicks on the ad, someone pays for you to click on it and someone gets money for you clicking on it. Its basic advertising with a twist. When I sign up for Google adwords, I start creating ad’s it will most probably be for a product of some sort on my website/blog. I have an ad made that says whatever I want it to say. I’m going to think like an advertiser and make it sound really nice and attractive.
Once that is set up. I tell Google that I want this add to be displayed. Then Someone that has a Google adsense account, places their ad’s on their website or blog.
Now, why would anyone want to display someone else’s ad’s on their site? Money.
If you have my add on your website and someone clicks on it, you will earn a certain amount of money. It could be anything form 1c to $1 or maybe even more per click. I will have set up the amount I want to pay per click. So the more people click on your ad’s and buy my product or service, the more money you will be making. I will be happy, because my service or product is getting exposure.
Now there is more to it than meets the eye.
It is not merely a fact of placing the ad’s anywhere on your website. People have become, what they call, Banner Blind.
If its clear that its advertising, people won’t even look at it. They will just skip over it. You want to try and make it fit in with your website/blog as much as possible. Sothat your visitors will actually take time to read it and see if they are interested in what the ad’s have to offer. There has been alot of research done on it and there are multiple way’s that you can improve your PPC income. (I’m no expert, but know a few things.)
That my friends, is a basic outline of how Pay Per Click works, and how you can make money online with a few simple steps.
If you want to read about making money online and Pay per Click, I would suggest a blog called Problogger.net. He is an expert on the subject and all he does is tell people how to be a succesfull blogger, and how to make money doing it.
Hope it helps.
