Top 7 Best BuySellAds Alternatives

Probably you all know what is BuySellAds actually? Anyway let me introduce a little about it. BuySellAds is the direct banner advertising company where you can sell the space of your site for advertisers. BSA puts ads and makes payment on the monthly basis. It is not sure that every site gets approved easily. In case of unapproval of BuySellAds, there are many other alternatives which may not be as perfect as BuySellAds but they function well.

BlogAds is another best alternative to BuySellAds and somehow a competitor of BuySellAds too. BlogAds lets you sell your site’s space as similar as BuySellAds and what it extra offers is text ads. BlogAds is one of the oldest advertising agencies that don’t need many criteria to be fulfilled. This ad agency charges 30% of your earning as commission and rest of the earning i.e. 70% will be yours.  If your site fails to get approved to BuySellAds, give it a try as many large and famous blog sites are also using this.

3. Project Wonderful:

Project Wonderful is also one of the best alternatives to BuySellAds that cannot be left unlisted here. ProjectWonderful lets you sell space of your site and the best part of ProjectWonderful is it lets you bargain with many advertisers and you can choose the high payer and next important part is it supports sub-domains also (.blogspot, .wordpress).

Once your site gets approved you have to buy and install a wordpress plugin that costs $47  that can be installed as wordpress plugin or a standalone platform. The most important thing about OIOPublisher is it doesn’t charge commission so that you’ll get 100% of your earning.

BySiteAds can also be the best alternative to BuySellAds considering the point that you can get advertisers for twitter and facebook together with selling the site’s space. To get payment from BySiteAds, you don’t need more amounts deposited. You can withdraw after your earning reaches $15.

2. Directory Submissions
You must submit your site to all major directories. DMOZ which is (was once was the most important directory). But however the trends have changed, and DMOZ has lost its value to some extent, because especially Engines like Google no more require DMOZ to list a website in order to get it listed, like it once was. But still, directory submission could be very helpful in getting some little PR. To submit your website to few major directories on the web go to: http://freewebsubmission.com/

3. Submit Articles
I believe that Article submission plays a very very important part in getting good quality traffic plus gets your good Link Value in terms of SEO (search engine optimization). Some of popular article directories are Ezine, Article Base or Go Articles which can instantly boost in your website traffic, with good SEO impact. What you need to do is Write a detailed article of 350-500 words describing your website blog or its services, and at the end give in your website url. This way when search spiders reads your posts it transfers High value to your links resulting in better SEO and better chance to get listed higher on google.

4. Submit your Sitemap to Search Engines
Submission of  sitemaps search engines like Google,  Yahoo, or Bing is a very important part, to get your website listed as quickly as possible and as well as in complete details. When you submit your sitemap to a search engine, which than quickly crawls through all pages of your website and list them all. (if you don't do this than possibly search engines will miss out some very important pages of your website.

5. Ping Sites
To get your website listed quickly in search engines, service known as PING SERVICES can also help your website get listed more quickly. Pinging actually tells the search engines that you have updated your website content.
Search engines like Google and Yahoo, Bing always like and prefer the freshly updated content. So all you need to do is Ping your website using once of following popular ping services: Ping.o. Matic,  Technorati Ping, Pingoat Ping, Feed Ping, King Ping, Blog Flux Pinger etc.

6. Yahoo Answer
Yahoo answers has become basic Asking place for most of newbies and new internet users. Those people who are looking for some thing they dont know mostly ask their questions on Yahoo Answer service website. (go to: answers.yahoo.com) .  So keep checking this website regularly and look for people who are looking for such useful stuff, and possibly you can share your own website links to answer them what they need.

7. Review your own website/blog
You can write some reviews about your own website, describing about it services and features and offerings. Write in detailed reviews based on merits and post these on reviews on other websites or blogs (maybe you can pay another webmaster) or ask them to do a review exchange. This way you will surely get higher Search Engine value, plus high website reputation in front of your visitors.

8. Google Reader
Google reader is a fast RSS Search Engine Submission service provided by google, which can help your website to get listed fast using your website RSS url. If you have a RSS feed link, than you must submit that using Google Reader service (www.google.com/reader)

9. Email Signatures
Lol! this might seem a bit too childish but believe me these small things can actually help you a lot in the long tun. But setting up your Email signature containing your website URL can get at-least some of valuable traffic where your friends of colleagues will probably remember your website url.

10. Blog Commenting
Commenting on blogs can earn you some good valuable baclinks (start from here, do comment in my blog), which will bring both Direct Traffic and Search Traffic to your website. Just keep track of top and popular blogs, and prefer to post  your own website URL in comments section (which is Free). But remember not to SPAM and do bogus publicity or you can get banned from that website. All you need to make sure is to only post your url when a someone is looking for information which your website already has. This way you can get targeted traffic and good search value. Go to (LondonClicks to get some backlinks)


11. Forum Signature
Mostly the online discussion forums hold a high PR value of which you can take full advantage by adding up your link url as your forum signature. Lets suppose you run a “Cars Review Website or blog”, now all you need to look for a popular CAR/Auto vehical related Discussion forum website, and join in as a member.  Once you have done this, now setup your Forum Signature containing your own website URL. This gives you many back links, which can divert good traffic as well as search value.

12. Create Groups
All search engines inlcuding Google, Yahoo or Bing have their own group services (just like Google Buzz) where you can setup a Group of people with similar mind set. (.e.g all Gadget interested people considering you have a Gadget selling/reviewing website).  Now, make a group and share all your related stuff maintaining your own social circle.

13. Buy Links or Traffic
Considering you have little money to invest, this could help a lot in buying some good Link Backs from Quality PR5+ websites which could result in High Google Page Rank of your own website, and also get you good traffic directly from a website. BUT Make sure that you should buy Targetted traffic which is the most important thing. If you have a Cars/Auto related website, than you should get a backlink from a car/auto related website itself, otherwise it wont be of any good use.

14. Link Exchange
Dont have money to invest to buy traffic ? Than probably Link exchange is more viable solution for you. All you need is to contact other webmasters (maybe friend webmasters) or you can contact any webmaster through their website contact form (but keep it mind, only those websites with Link exchange with you which will have Same traffic as of yours). Because big websites will not link exchange with a small traffic website, obviously. So keep this is mind, but link exchanges with small websites can make a small website get big traffic at some point.

15. Traffic Exchange Programs
Do you know that you can get some traffic for free from Traffic Exchange programs, which are completely free. Today there are a lot of websites with huge traffic mainly sourced from Traffic exchange website such as: MGID. Yes join MGID, put their Photo WIDGET on your website. Now when a visitor on your website clicks on their Widget, in return you will get 2 visitors back to your website from theirs. For more details goto: http://usr.mgid.com/demo/

16. PPC Advertising Program
Pay per click advertising can be very very usefull in getting targetted traffic to your website, but on other hand can be very costly for those who have limited advertising budget. However i have seen and heard of success stories from people who did advertised on Facebook through there PPC advertising program, and got quality traffic in return.

17. Social Bookmarking
Social bookmarking can get you quick backlinks. Social bookmarking sites like Digg, Twitter, Reddit and Stumble will help you get many quick backlinks. Try this as well.

18. Squidoo and HubPages
These high PR web 2.0 websites can do a lot to increase the traffic of website or blogs. You simply need to go to Squidoo or Hubpages, signup for an account, and write in a 500 words article containing 1 or 2 back links in those articles back to your Main website. This way you can get some traffic as well as search PR.

19. Press Releases Submission / Distribution
Get your website promoted by Press Release distribution networks such as prweb.com (though this is not free) but will get you huge exposure throughout the world even through Print media.

20. Free or Paid Classified
Advertise your website or product through Free classified websites or paid ones. Google this out for more details…

My reason to write this article was to just throw in a simple reminder of any points or ways which i could remember could help you get some traffic. Unfortunately i do not have enough time to throw in deep details all these 20 ways to boost website traffic,  but all i did was quick details to be pointed out, so that anything might click your mind and remind you something important which you could have missed otherwise.

Best Websites for Teens to Earn Money Online

Every year, high school and college students find themselves scrambling for ways to make some easy money during summer break, or even during the school year.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many decent paying jobs available for teens, especially in a rough economic climate. However, there are a number of websites that offer very easy money for teens online.
For a teenager who is disciplined and responsible, online jobs are the easiest way to earn a significant wad of cash year-round.

Websites That Offer Easy Money for Teens

Teenagers today have an assortment of skills that are useful on the Internet. For those who are skilled writers, earning money will be that much simpler. Additionally, there are well paying jobs available for teenagers who know how to write web pages or programs, are skilled at making crafts or collecting antiques, or are just interested in making a bit of cash from using the web like normal.
Finding those opportunities often involves wading through a mountain of garbage and scams. This article will provide teens with a complete guide for the best opportunities on the web that offer easy money for teens.

1. Sell Local Things Online

One of the easiest ways to make money fast, especially if you already have a pile of “junk” in your basement just collecting dust, is to sell your goods online. You may think that as a teen you have nothing worth selling, but you’d be surprised. Old video games, game consoles and even certain books often sell for more than you might expect on eBay.

Even if you don’t have anything, if you can get your parents to lend you $100 to $200 in “starter funds”, you can go to AuctionZip, find an antiques auction near you, and buy some box lots of vintage goods you can sell on eBay for profit.

I don’t suggest this lightly. This is actually how I personally started making a fair amount of cash on the Internet years ago, so I know that it works. It does take work — traveling to antiques, carrying stuff around, photographing, listing and packaging – but if you enjoy this kind of thing, you’re going to love selling antiques on eBay.
Even if you know nothing about antiques and have no interest going to auctions, you might consider actually making things like crafts, signs, pins or even electronics, and selling that on Etsy.

Teens under 18 are allowed to use Etsy to sell goods, so long as their parents are the ones managing the accounts.
Another place to sell stuff online — whether it’s crafts, antiques or anything else, is Craigslist.

Craigslist is fast becoming the go-to website for everything from apartment hunting to car shopping and everything in between. Become a seller there and you’ll have a huge audience of people looking to buy your stuff.

2. Easy Income for Teens Who Can Write Articles

For any teen that has excellent writing skills, the Internet offers an abundance of cash just sitting there for the taking.
Yes, it may take a full eight hours a day of good solid writing work — but what could be better than rolling out of bed at ten in the morning and going to your summer job at home, in your pajamas? Sounds too good to be true? Well put on your pajamas and check out these opportunities.

At ArticleSale.com, you can write as many articles as you like, and put them up for sale on the site.


Prices for most new articles on the site range from between $2 to $7, but as you gain experience and sales, those prices will go up because people will recognize that experience. The downside to this particular site is that you have to sit around waiting for your articles to sell — and many of them may not. There are no guarantees.

A similar site as this is Constant Content, where you can also post your articles for sale to potential buyers.


Sales for these articles are typically listed at around $20 to $25 for “usage” (meaning the buyer only buys rights to publish once, but doesn’t own the copyright), or $40 to $100 for “Full” rights.
Typically, buyers will buy usage rights, but since prices are higher, you really need to sell your article by making the summary field very compelling.
If writing random articles isn’t quite your thing, you might consider writing reviews for Sponsored Reviews instead.

The catch here is that you need to already have your own established blog or website. Sponsored Reviews essentially serves as the middle man, to get you companies willing to sponsor content on your blog. They pay you via Sponsored Reviews, and you publish the review article on your blog. That’s it.
If you don’t have your own blog, you can still make money by writing on the Internet. However, if you’re just getting started, you’re going to have to start writing for websites that pay bottom-dollar for articles. One such site is Demand Studios (now known as StudioD).


You can apply here, and most likely get accepted as an author, but you’ll need to wade through long lists of really weird and surreal topics to find one that you can even figure out how to write about. One former Demand Studios author explained the experience as follows:

“I immediately began searching in their ‘Find Assignments’ section, looking for a topic that would be appropriate for me to write about. That was my first reality check. This section can be quite laughable, to put it nicely. For example, when I searched their section on animals, looking specifically for dog-themed assignments, some of the topics under this heading included ‘How to Change the Heating Coil in a 1994 Cavalier,’ ‘How to Troubleshoot an Airhandler Float Switch,’ and ‘What are IRS Plan Disqualification Penalties’.”

The cold, hard truth about online writing is that you have to start somewhere, and that somewhere means writing really boring articles for peanuts — and lots of them. Once you build a reputation and a large online profile of articles, your name alone can earn you much more per article, but this takes years.

There are some sites that may serve you better. For example, Writers Domain promises $15 to $17.50 for a standard article, assuming you pass the application process.


Of course, it isn’t fair to assume that just because you’re a teenager, you don’t have the writing skills or experience to achieve higher-paying writing gigs. Maybe you’ve been running your own successful blog for years. That’s experience, and that’ll land you writing jobs easily.

One of the best places to monitor for regular new online writing gigs is the jobs board at ProBlogger.



Of course, if you feel like you have what it takes to write in the big leagues – in print – you might purchase an inexpensive monthly subscription to Writers Market, and pour over the database listings.


You’ll find everything from publishing agents and publishing companies to magazine article job postings and even writing contests! Spend time every day writing for a few of the opportunities found here, and you never know, you may become one of the youngest published authors in your community!

3. Make Money Doing Reviews

Okay, so maybe you don’t write at all. That doesn’t mean that you can’t find a good way to make money online. There’s a lot more to the web than just writing content.
One of the most popular reasons many people use the Internet is to research products before buying them. This has turned online “reviews” into one of the most popular types of content on the web.
If you like sharing your opinion about products and services, then there are countless opportunities to earn income from your opinions. One of the coolest websites like this is MusicXray, which will pay you for listening to and giving feedback about music!

If you’re a music lover, you may find it hard to believe you can make money listening to music, but it’s a fact.
Or you could take the usual route of writing up reviews about actual products at a site like SliceThePie.

For a site like this to be profitable, you’ll need to devote a good part of your day to completing reviews for the site. Just doing one or two may not appear to pay out a whole lot, but if you stay dedicated to it every day, you could earn some pretty decent cash.
A similar review site to this is one called Reviewstream. Reviewstream has plenty of categories to review. Everything from Airlines and baby products to education and electronics.

Yet again, individual review earnings aren’t huge, but with this kind of work it’s all about putting in the hard work and developing a high volume of reviews over time. Before you know it, you’ll be raking in the dough.

10 Essential Tips For Long Term Blogging Career

Blogging is something you should do as a hobby as oppose to a career, until you are fully dedicated to it and have guts &  knowledge to do something extraordinary through your blog, blogging takes time to start making you money so if you are doing it for quick money then I’ll suggest you to do freelancing instead.
There are 100s of rules you should follow to become a successful blogger but I have listed the Top 10 of them, and if you ignore any of them then you are going to fail, so do it and do it right.

#1. Plan your blog posts

This means that you should create an outline (at least) for your blog posts. You should do this so that your blog structure remains consistent throughout your blog, and so that you cover all of the points you were planning on covering. You will also find that it makes writing your blog posts easier, quicker and helps to a create more balanced writing style.

#2. Do not post on all your favorite topics right away

This is a common “newbie” mistake. They will come into blogging full of ideas and topics that they want to write about, and they will use up all of their best stuff within the first few months. After that they will be scratching around for ideas and will probably get bored. Your best bet is to space out your topics and write larger and more in-depth articles on your topics. You then break them up, create new introductions for each and post them as separate blog posts.

#3. Keep it up and do not quit

Most blogs start with a big flurry of enthusiasm and then within six months the blogger has given up or only blogs once per month. Most blogs do not make it to the two year mark, which is the reason why so many of the blogs you see these days do not have hundreds and hundreds of blog posts on them (unless they allow guest blog posting). So, the first piece of advice you should take is to keep it up, and make a vow to yourself that you are not going to quit after a few weeks.

#4. You only need to post once per week

A lot of people start out and they have lots of topics they want to cover. So they will post twice per week, or three times per week if they are over enthusiastic. But, this is a frequency that is difficult to keep up. If you do decide to keep it up then you are going to struggle to create high quality content. And, if you do not keep it up then what was the point of making frequent posts during the early months? The best frequency is once per week, as most people expect that anyway.

#5. Learn that loyal viewers make up most of your traffic

New bloggers and moronic web marketers think that blogging traffic is made up of new viewers, but it is not. New viewers are not as abundant as you think. It is loyal viewers that come back every week that make up most of your blog traffic. You must tend to them instead of constantly trying to chase new viewers.

#6. Install an RSS feed into your blog

This is a vital tool if you want to retain your loyal viewers. They remind people that your blog still exists, they tell people when your blog is posted and they give people a link to your blog. It is the perfect tool for retaining your blog readers.

#7. Plan the blog posts of the next 3 months

This strategy will help you to avoid the occasional bout of writers block. Writers block occurs as a sort of biological process. There will come days when you simply cannot think of anything to write. If this happens on the week that you are supposed to write your blog post then you are going to be in trouble. If you have already planned the topics and created a bit of an outline for the next three months, then you will have to suffer three months of writers block before you have any trouble.

#8. Use a scheduling tool to post your blog posts

This is common sense because it means that your blog posts will be issued at the same time every week, and it means that you do not have to manually upload your posts when the time comes. It also allows you to get a few weeks ahead of yourself for just in case you cannot write for a few weeks or if you want to take a break from blogging.

#9. Have the scheduling tool update your RSS feed too

Again, this is going to save you the trouble of doing it yourself, which will mean that this very important job is not forgotten. Do not write too much on your RSS feed page. A single sentence describing your blog post is enough, as you do not want to scare off your reader before he or she has even seen the blog post.
And if you are using WordPress as your blogging platform then you can be worry free as WordPress updates the RSS automatically everytime you publish a new article on your blog.

#10. Build relationship with niche bloggers

This is very important that you are in touch with the other bloggers via social media or email (if possible), for that you can start with sharing your views with them about their blog, can give ideas for their blog, write guest posts regularly on their blogs.
So, finally if you follow all the above tips carefully throughout your blogging then no one can stop you from becoming a successful blogger, and making lots of money through blogging too.

Clicksor - Best Adsense Alternatives for 2015

Here is our Clicksor review. Clicksor is a contextual ad network. This means that it uses certain keywords and phrases that are in the body text of your webpage to determine which ads display. Clicksor offer some unique ad types with numerous sizes available which some ad networks do not provide, making them attractive to publishers as an adsense alternative.

Clicksor in Action

Clicksor offers five different ad types to publishers to include on their website or blog. The first is perhaps the most unintrusive to visitors as it does not actually appear on the webpage at all.

PayPerView

For those with a decent amount of traffic coming from search engines who are struggling getting visitors to click ads then Clicksor’s pay per view pop-under ads might just be the ads for you. When a visitor lands on your site, an ad will pop up underneath your page, invisible to the visitor. The visitor will not see the ad until the moment they close their browser.

The Interstitial ads operate in a similar way as they also take up no ad space and are pay per view. The difference being that they appear as visitors are browsing between the pages of your site. You have control over the frequency at which the ads display to suit your preferred level of visitor experience.

PayPerClick

Clicksor is pretty transparent when it comes to sharing the average PPC in which their current publishers achieve. We have found their PPC rates for the intext and banner ads are generally lower than that found on other ad networks, but with their unique ad sizes you can achieve a higher click through rate by being creative with where you place the ads.

Many people using the internet today are seeing google-like adverts on most webpages which have been inserted in the same areas of the screen. By having slightly different ad sizes than usual and in interesting places across your site, a high click through rate can be achieved.

Clicksor Review

Clicksor review websites very quickly and approval is pretty much immediate. They do allow you to have ads from other networks on the same page as long as you only have a maximum of three ad units from Clicksor. If you are going to use more than one ad network on the same page, we believe the PopUnder would be the best option as it would be the most non-intrusive and it will not lower your current earnings or click through rates. For this reason Clicksor is a decent adsense alternative.
Also if you are using a 3rd party ad network and choose to use the Intext or banner ads from clicksor along side, please ensure that the ads do not look the same as this could infringe on some of the 3rd parties terms and conditions and could result in a loss of all your earnings from them.

Clicksor CPM and PPC Rates..

FORMATS	COST METRICS	AVERAGE REVENUE
Text Ads	cost/pay per click (CPC, PPC)	$0.035 per click
Graphical / Rich Media Banners	cost per 1000 Impressions (CPM)	$0.20 per 1,000 impressions
Graphical Banners	cost per click (CPC)	$0.035 per click
Pop-unders	cost per visit (CPV)	$0.0025 per visitor
Interstitial Ads	cost per interstitial (CPI)	$0.0025 per interstitial Ad

Getting Started with Clicksor

 

Clicksor is very easy to install. They offer a plugin for WordPress, Blogger, Drupal and Joomla. There is also the option to place the code inside your site yourself, preferably in the header or footer. This option can be slightly confusing to do, as you must go through each ad type separately and it is not immediately obvious how to select the ads you want. Basically, for the ads you do not wish to display simply click the “skip this ad” at the bottom and for the ads you wish to display click “save and continue”. It will generate the code for you at the end then its just a case of copying and pasting.

Monetizing a Site Through AdSense

There is a lot of misconception about Google AdSense; many marketers see it as one of the most rudimentary ways to monetize your site. As such many markets prefer to build affiliate sites, spend an age writing sales driven content, building email lists to try and sell on the back end, but the most important aspect of getting the sale is completely taking out of their hands, once you send traffic to the merchant they are the ones you have to rely on to push your traffic through their checkout page. If the merchant you are promoting has a poor sales funnel you will suffer.
This is not the case with AdSense, once you get the click then your job is done and your money is in the bank of Google.
When you build a site around AdSense in many ways it’s different to that of an affiliate site.  The perfect traffic for an AdSense site is click happy information hungry searchers. This is not the case for an affiliate site, most affiliates will target traffic that are close to making a purchase and hopefully they are just looking for some final reassurances that the product they plan to buy will meet their needs. These typical searches can include “reviews” “best price” or one of favourites is “warranty” for instance how long is the warranty on a Sony camcorder. As you can imagine these keywords get a tiny amount of searches every month but they are super targeted and can lead to the highest conversions.
If you target these types of searches with an AdSense site you may not get enough traffic to make the site pay and as the searchers have a very specific goal you will often find that they are unwilling to click on your ad.

Choosing your keywords and finding a click happy market

The most important thing to remember about an AdSense site is that it’s a numbers game, in every part of it you want to have the numbers on your side, ideally the more the better.
Keeping the numbers on your side starts with the keyword research, you want to try and find between 5 and 10 possible candidates.  The same rules apply as always, use Google’s keyword tool, try and find keywords with a minimum of 2500 searches and months, with a CPC of at least .50 cents ( remember this is split between you again Google, 60:40 in your favour). If you have tools like Market Samurai or Micro Niche finder, use them! they will make this process so much easier

Now to find if any of these keywords have click happy searchers

Knowing that you are entering a market that has potential to be profitable for you is a great incentive to drive on and make it work. To try and take as much guess work out of this as possible you will need to do quite a lot of ground work. You may be putting a lot of work in now with little reward, but it’s better to do it now than to spend 6 months working on a site with little or nothing to show at the end.
The best way I have found to test the potential of a new niche is to write an article on all of your chosen keywords and submit them to ezinearticles. (Note: as we have not registered any domains yet, you will need to link your biobox to some other site), It may sound strange to be doing this but there is method in the madness and there are 2 good reasons, firstly ezinearticles has the ability to rank highly for your keyword, giving you an indication of how tough the competition is and after about a month you will have an idea of which keyword has the best potential. Just look for the article that has the highest CTR (click through rate).  Because they have clicked your link, they are hungry to learn more and are willing to click on your link.

Building Your Site

Now it’s back to the numbers game, you need as many articles as possible for your new site, more articles means more searchers which will mean more clicks. Each article you write should back up the main theme of your site but focus on a slightly different key phrase.
Another important aspect of the articles you write is to try and build in some relative or related keywords into each article, doing this will give you a better chance of attracting more long tail searches. If your site is about remote control helicopters, try to work in some brand names, “how to fix” or any keywords that would make sense, a lot of information based searches are based around asking a question like “how do I fix my broken Helicopter” if you can build this into your copy you will have a great chance of ranking for these types of searches. In most cases when you write the article you will be doing this anyway, this technique is commonly known as LSI or latent semantic indexing.
The length of the article will really depend on your own preferences but I prefer to write pretty meaty articles, anything up to 1500 words. I do this for 2 reasons, I can easily target a lot more potential long tails and I can hit the reader with 3 different ad boxes as they scroll down the page.  Getting ads clicked in the very top ad box will usually yield the biggest CPC, but if you miss your chance here, hitting them a second and third time will treble your chances of getting your ad clicked.

Link building

The same rules apply here, but there is one thing I have found with my AdSense sites and that is they can attract natural links more easily. I think in part it’s because of the articles I write help to answer a question but also, AdSense sites are less conspicuous compared to affiliates sites and people are more willing to link to them.
AdSense is really underrated as a viable way to monetize your site, I believe many people turn to it as a last option when all their affiliate offers fail and because the site was not built for AdSense most times these sites will under preform leaving the owner bemused with the miserable amount of money they are making.

Tips to increase your website search traffic in 2015 and beyond

Google loves WordPress sites

Always prefer WordPress over Blogger or any other blogging platform.
Why WordPress Is Better than Blogger?
Most bloggers ask me this question – which blogging platform should I go for? WordPress or Blogger? I certainly recommend them all to use “WordPress” content management system. Not only because I used both WordPress and blogger platforms, but I know why WordPress is way better than the Blogger platform.
So why is WordPress better than Blogger platform?
There are millions of bloggers who use WordPress as their blogging platforms, the percentage of people who use WordPress is more than that of any other blogging platform. WordPress certainly has few great assets than other blogging platforms, in this article we are discussing few surefire reasons why you need to prefer WordPress over blogger.
FIVE reasons why WordPress is better than Blogger
1. More power to you
In blogger platform, you don’t have much control over your sites, it means you have all the risk while monetizing and maintaining your sites. Whereas in WordPress, you have all the control over your sites, you are your own boss. No one has the ability to stop your blogging efforts, because you own your own domain name and hosting.
2. Professional look
Agree with me or not, WordPress blog designs look way better than that of blogger platform.
You will be able to use thousands of themes which are ranging from free to premium. The good thing about WordPress themes is even free themes look amazingly great. There are thousands of free (good looking) themes in the WordPress themes directory.
You can also use search engine friendly themes like Thesis, Genesis to enhance your rankings in the search engine results.
3. More control over SEO
Blogger platform doesn’t have great SEO options by default. And you can’t take your SEO campaign to the next level using blogger platform.WordPress platform is well-known for its search engine optimization to rank high in the search results.
Moreover, you can always take charge of your SEO rankings by using premium search engine friendly themes like Genesis or by using top class SEO plugins like easy WP SEO, long tail pro etc.
So by using WordPress you will definitely rank better than the bloggers who are using blogger platform with these functionalities.
4. Easy to customize, update and maintain
WordPress blogs are easy to customize, even if you are not a tech savvy you won’t find it hard to customize your own blog design or whatever it is. Frequently WordPress updates its versions and thus you will get rid of all security threats or minor defects time to time. By just one click you can update your WP versions, there’s no blogging platform that’s so easy to update like this.
5. Free blog hosting = so many problems (in blogger)
The worst part about blogger platform is this: you never know when Google will suspend site.
The people who use blogger platform risk having their account suspended for breaching Google’s TOS – this happened to many blogger platform users till date. Another big risk by using blogger is: if you want to sell your site, it’s hard! Because you got a free hosting, it means you have NO control over your sites, you have to spend a lot of time in managing your stuff to sell to others.
All these problems can be overcome by WordPress. If you don’t have any more interest in blogging, it takes few minutes to sell your WP blogs. It’s that easy! And I said earlier in this post, you have all the control over your sites and blogs, no one will ask you for violating terms!

Rock Your Blog With These Essential WordPress Plugins

Have you ever wanted to rock your WordPress blogs with few plugins?
One of the best things about WordPress is that you can use a wide range of plugins to take your blog to the next level. Again it depends on how many plugins you use and what plugins you use to take charge of your blog.
After all, the less plugins you have the more site speed you can acquire, so here are few plugins to increase your website traffic in 2015.
1. Digg Digg: There’s a reason why I’m placing this plugin no.1 in the list. Social media sites are becoming popular, to bring more traffic you must use social media sites to the most. If you give your readers easy to share your posts on social media, the chances of getting more shares on your posts will be huge. This plugin lets you place the sharing buttons in most prominent places on your sidebar to get more shares and visibility.
2. W3 total cache: If you want to clear all the caches on your blogs to make it loading faster, this plugin is for you. It improves the user experience of your site by increasing server performance, reducing the download times and providing transparent content delivery network (CDN) integration.
3. SEO by yoast: SEO is the key to making any successful blog, without search engine optimizing, you won’t get long lasting traffic to your sites. SEO by yoast is the premium plugin which does all the things for you to get an avalanche traffic from search engines, and it’s absolutely for free (it has all the features of a premium plugin, it’s why I’m calling it as a premium plugin).
4. Akismet: No one likes to get spam on their blog comment section. Not only spam will create more burden on your database (which makes your site loading time slower), but you will also give a bad user experience. Akismet is used by almost every blogger (yea, it’s one of the most used WP plugins in the blogosphere). It will control the spam comments to give the better user experience to your blog readers. Using GASP plugin along with Akismet can 99% reduce spam on your blogs.
5. Contact form 7: If you want a great looking contact form, this plugin is the right choice for you. Not only this plugin enables powerful security options, but it also looks easy to use.
6. nRelate thumbnails: The most effective way to boost your page views is to display your related posts or links at the bottom of your posts. This plugin serves you the best to display them using images to get more clicks on your old posts.
7. Google XML sitemap: A must have WP plugin for WP users. Creating and submitting a Sitemap helps make sure that Google knows about all the pages on your site, including URLs that may not be discoverable by Google’s normal crawling process.
8. Jetpack by WordPress: If you want to get your analytics right, install this plugin. This plugin enables you to analyze your page views, search terms and who clicked on what etc. to give you a detailed data of your WP blog readers.

Write keyword rich contents no matter what

Search engine optimization is the key to building a profitable blog. Without search engine traffic, your blog won’t last long. To make your prospects buying and to generate more leads, it’s a MUST to bring organic traffic.
Luckily, the WordPress users have a great edge with SEO because there are so many great WordPress SEO plugins available, and most of them are free.
Post consistently: If you want to become a top blogger in your niche, post consistently. I don’t mean that you need to post daily to succeed, but you have to be CONSISTENT with your blog posting frequency. Who will like to read your blog if you update blog posts inconsistently? The best way to know your blog posting frequency is by “testing”.
Testing is the key to know the perfect blog post frequency on your blogs, know what works and what’s not. Take the help from your readers and other bloggers if you need. Use online survey tools like Survey monkey or use your email list to ask your readers “when to update”. This way you will have a better idea on what to write and when to update on your blogs.
Write unique points: Get them talking about your blog posts. But how? Always write engaging content that solves your readers problems and give genuine value to your targeted readers. No one will like to read your blog if you post “generic contents”. Write unique posts that will create great impact on your blog readers in the long run. Take some time to research the topics that you are writing about and deliver the ‘best’ information to your readers. Create your own writing style to stand out from the crowd.

Give importance to readers and search engines

Readers and search engines both are important. You simply can’t ignore both of them, readers will give your blog immense support to buy your products and search engines can bring you more readers in the long run for the potential keywords.
Know your targeted keywords before writing a blog post, write for the readers first, then optimize the contents for the search engines. I don’t suggest anyone to use “keyword stuffing”, instead use long tail keywords to generate quality traffic from the search engines.
You will definitely have more impact on search engines when you use long tail keywords like “blog tips for new bloggers”, instead of using just “blog tips”. Then build quality back links to your sites either by guest blogging or by writing link baiting posts which will naturally attract other bloggers to link to your posts. This way you can bring great traffic from the search engines in the long run, remember that, search traffic takes time to reach your blog. You simply can’t expect organic traffic flowing through your blog posts within 2 days.
Use social media sites to boost your presence: By now, you should know the importance of social media sites like Facebook, twitter, Google+ etc. They are great resources if you want to quickly build a brand around your blogs. You should be dedicated enough to engage with other bloggers and influential bloggers in your niche using social media sites.
Always share the best stuff around your network to grab other bloggers attention to click on your links. No one will care to read your stuff if you post generic contents, make sure you are spending enough time to read and write the best contents to solve your readers’ problems.

Guest blogging is a weapon – use it wisely

If you want to succeed in blogging, you need to get more online visibility no matter what. The best way to get more visibility in no time is this, guest post on other blogs which are better than yours!
