- Buy Advertising-
- Make Money without Spending- If you want to make money from affiliate and pay-per-click programs and networks without spending any money of your own (that is, with no overhead), then you need to use a reliable free host and a free domain name. Do not use the free host's subdomains for your web site, because when the free host vanishes, all the links you created, the ones pointing at your web site, will be useless. Yes, you will be able to move your site to a new host (if you kept a backup), but your site's address (the URL) will change. For example, it might change from yoursite.freehost1.com to yoursite.freehost2.org.
- Free and Easy Banner Rotator- If you are looking for a free banner rotator, one that is easy to implement and that allows you to rotate all kinds of banners, HTML, and text, then you will want to take a look at the free offer on Free Web Hosting Reviewed, page 186: http://ledbetter.freepgs.com/wordpress/?page_id=186
- Forums Are a Waste of Time- Forums are most often a waste of time for affiliate marketers. You not only have to muck your way through hoards of useless replies (moderators let users post a lot of stupid one liners), many or most forums do not allow affiliate links (except, sometimes, in your signature).
I hate it when forum posts/replies get top rankings in search results; I do not go to forums for trustworthy or authoritative information. I think most forums spam the search engines, in one way or another.
- Adbrite Partners with Advertising Networks, Adding Volume and Earnings-
Adbrite has announced a brand-new Network Partnership Program. Ad Networks such as Bidvertiser, Kontera, and Pheedo can now supply advertising and web site inventory directly into the AdBrite PPC and CPM advertising system, which features text links, in-line links, video, and banners.
- Nifty! Make Money with a Custom Toolbar- Add a Radio to Your Browser
Here is an affiliate program that pays you while promoting your links and building your community. In fact you can send messages and alerts to your members' browsers in real time.
- Keeping Your Google Pagerank- Google recently updated everybody's Pagerank on May 1, 2008, and as webmasters and affiliate managers, we are certainly concerned about how we rank on Google's search engine. Pagerank determines how close we are to the top in Google's search results.
- Free Promotional and Marketing Products- If you have not been taking advantage of Vista Print's Everything is Free Sale, then you have been missing out on quite a few valuable (BUT FREE) custom-designed business items (you design your own from their numerous templates).
- Marketing Your Website on the Street- Recently I ordered 250 Free Business Cards
 , 150 free postcards, 35 free fridge magnets, and a free car magnet. I plan to market http://affiliatebin.com and http://fuelspace.com on college campuses and public bulletin boards. And when I am driving around the city I will attach the car magnet to the outer side of my passenger door.
- Sign up for Free Website Magazine- This site recommends Website Magazine for 'Net Success
You should sign up for Website Magazine, a free print and online magazine that helps webmasters get to the top of the game. If you live in the United States or Canada, you will receive the print version of the magazine for free (and the electronic version, as well). International subscribers will receive the electronic magazine for free.
- Social Networks You Should Join- If you would like to promote your websites and share information with other surfers, then you might want to join a few of these social networks. That way you will also create a few natural links to your web sites and to your favorites. (And you can create networks of friends and business contacts by placing a link to your abbreviated Facebook profile -- for example, http://www.facebook.com/people/David_Maxwell/633321643.)
- Keep Your Website Traffic- One way to keep your website traffic is to show your customers and visitors that when they send traffic to your site, they get traffic back. For example, you can list the sites that sent traffic to your website when you put the following line of JavaScript on your web page (or template):
<script language="Javascript" src="http://ledbetter.freepgs.com/referrers.js"></script>
- Automate Your Advertising, Registration and Link Form Submissions- Whether you are an advertiser, a webmaster, an affiliate, or all three at once, you need a quick way to automate placing your links and registration information on web pages and forums and on online forms. In other words, you need an efficient way to fill out online forms so that you are not constantly typing in the same information hour after hour and day after day on registration forms, advertising forms, application forms, and link exchanges.
- Getting Pagerank from Trusted Links- I recently read that one of the best ways to start getting pagerank for your sites is to create links on some of the older, trusted sites on the Internet, sites like Wikipedia.com and Squidoo. You can take a look at my Squidoo Lens here.
- Books About Making Money on the Internet- First of all, we are pleased to offer you FREE professional trade magazines and white papers. Visit our Free Industry Resource Center and browse 600+ complimentary industry magazines, white papers, webinars, podcasts, and downloads. Our popular titles include:
Senior Market Advisor
- Free Merchant Circle Business Listings- One of the easiest and best ways to broaden your profile on the Internet is to join the MerchantCircle.com network. MerchantCircle gives you a web page, blog, bulletin board, and your own newsletter(s), plus a contact form and a place where customers can review your services. You will receive one free advertising spot (an ad that MerchantCircle automatically places on business listings in your geographical area), and your MerchantCircle page will appear in search results on Google, Yahoo, and the other major search engines.
- The Pownce Module for Drupal- I added a Pownce module to this blog so that AffiliateBin will post entries to my pownce.com/affiliatebin/ page.
This is the test entry.
Also, I had to use one of the older versions of the Pownce module, since the lastest version (April 2008) caused a fatal error in OAuth.php.
