Twittad is another twitter advertising agency that offers twitterers a novel way to make money from twitter – by showing an ad on the background image.

Then as soon as you get a sponsor, they will upload their background in your twitter profile and you will get a fixed amount of money for that period.

Another “Superfast” Way to Make Money on Twitter
Nov 29th
There are many websites and services that claim that they will make money for you on twitter. It sounds very easy also. Just tweet it and bag the money. But it is not that case with most of them. I previously spoke about two of them – SPONSOREDTWEETS and BE-A-MAGPIE. Both these work very much fine. To be honest, I have not got much of a success with Sponsoredtweets but Be-a-magpie ROCKS. What is more important is that these two services are WHITELISTED. i.e. twitter recognises them as advertising companies and the quality of ads they have will not have any “BAD” impression on your followers. They have far more advertisers than most of others so you can chose which ads to tweet and which to not.
But recently, I came across another such advertising service which is in fact one of the best in the business. It was mentioned on mashable. It is AD.LY.
Apart from being White listed, it is used by many celebrity twitterers like Kim Kradashian, Dr. Drew, Nicole Richie and many more.
Also, there are other attractive offers also like you get your money on a weekly basis. You can also donate the money to charity if you like (I liked it very much. Who thinks of poor people in today,s world. This is why I like squidoo too).
I feel, if you have decent number of followers and you tweet regularly, apart from signing up for sponsoredtweets and be-a-magpie, you should also give Ad.ly a try. Trust me, it will pay off handsomely.
So SIGN-UP for Ad.Ly TODAY and start making the most of your twitter account!

It can be a product, a service or a digital product (e-books, video, audio, software tools, etc). You can develop you own product or choose to sell other people products (affiliate marketing) or get the right wholesalers that can supply you the product constantly.

So, you definitely don’t want to miss these targeted search engine traffic. You should make sure your website is optimized with the right keywords. This is called on-page optimization; it is the first part of SEO. It has to be done correctly to ensure you will get targeted traffic once you have also put in hard work on the second part of SEO which is off-page optimization.

The Golden Rule for Succeeding With AdSense
Nov 20th
AdSense is does not need an introduction here. Everyone knows this modern marvel which has made possible billions earn billions. Almost every other blogger today joins Adsense for earning money online. But how many of you actually succeed? I mean even if you are getting a 100$ check every 2 months or so, do you call it success? I don’t think so. Websites and Blogs today earn in thousands of dollars per month! Techcrunch.com, for example, earns a whooping 2,00,000$ per month!!! What is the “Golden Rule” that gave these SUPER BLOGS the success they have today?
There are more than one for sure, and the list is ever growing. But one “Golden Rule” which, you can call, the first step in moving towards success with Adsense is selecting your “NICHE” properly and writing about it. What I mean to say is that your blog should be targeted to a particular audience and not to the whole world.
Google’s advertising is very simple. It does not imply very strict rules on allowing blogs to enroll for Adsense. And it shows targeted ads on your blogs. But for success, the word “TARGETED” needs to be understood.
Once you start your blog about a particular thing, write articles related only to that particular topic. For example, I write articles on this blog about earning money online, affiliate marketing, earning traffic, blogging tips, cool gadgets to have on your blog, etc etc. But I stick to the same topic. I don’t write about the latest century which Ricky Ponting scored against England at Lord’s!!!
Why This Is Important?
As the content of your blog increases day by day, the matching of Ads displayed by Google on your blog also increases and the ads displayed are very similar to your posts and keywords you have used in your blog. So a visitor searching for affiliate marketing article will get ads referring to other sites offering this in which the visitor will definitely interested in and the chances of him clicking on the ad increases many folds.
So friends writing articles related to your niche is of utmost importance for generating decent revenue from Adsense. According to me, this is the most important thing to increase your earnings. Don’t agree with me? Do let me know what you feel is the most important thing to do to earn money.
Hide Your Affiliate Link and Avoid Making a Bad Impression
Nov 19th
Why is it important to hide your affiliate partner referral link?
When you enroll yourself in an affiliate and are willing to make money by referring your blog’s visitors to a particular site through the affiliate link that you have posted in your post, it is better to hide that link with another link. It’s just because when a potential customer hover’s over the link, he can see that there is often a word in the link like “ref=2378283″ or “Ref Id 2903ws9″ etc. It gives a clear indication that the link is going to give you a monetary benefit.
Even though the offer you posted was genuine, still the visitors may feel that this is a trick to earn money and it’s a waste of time to them. So it is better if you hide the link behind the words you have written to be clicked in order to go to that particular website.
How Can You Do It?
Use a good site for link conversion. For example Tinyurl.com or Bit.ly (Which Twitter Uses) ow.ly and many more. It gives you a unique small link in place of your original link and it is FREE.
Try it and avoid making a bad impression.

Why You Should Have Your Own Business Website
Nov 19th
Creating a web site is crucial to your home business success and your efforts to make money online, regardless of what home business method you decide to go with. In fact, aside from determination and will, your own website(s) is the single most important factor to your success.
I initially operated my blog My Articles Online. But then I realized the importance of doing your hard work on your own custom domain. So I switched to MyArticlesHub.com. Having your website on your custom domain has many advantages.
With the advancement in web programming, you can easily create a working web site using many of the free web site generators or software. We will explain how to get started building your web site in a minute. First, let’s review some of the benefits of having your own web site.
One of the biggest hurdles a home business company has is reputation and trust. Why should anyone trust you with their money, especially when there are much bigger more reputable companies around. With online shopping, internet users can easily go to websites like Walmart.com and buy almost anything they could possibly need. Having a professional looking web site is one way that you can combat the “big guys”. A web site is your chance to talk to the customer without the customer feeling pressured.
On a side note, did you know that over 95% of all Internet users use the internet to search information only? Your web site should be designed to educate the customer on your product or business. Tell them everything they could possible want to know in an informative and non-pushy manner and you will not only fulfill their need of more information but, you will also gain some credibility in the customers eyes. If they see you as an expert in your field or product, they will be more likely to buy from you. In addition to creating a “professional” impression of your home business, a web site allows you to generate extra income with little to no effort. Affiliate marketing is a good example of how any business can make extra cash just by having a web site.
Let’s look at an example. Bob Shoemaker in PA started his own business as a personal finance consultant. He traveled around to his friends, families and referrals assisting with debt management and retirement planning. He built a web site so that his potential clients could get more information after his sales pitch (if they were still uncertain). His potential clients would use the business card he gave them, log on to his web site and further educate themselves about personal finance. Why should they use his services? What other options could the look into? What about credit card debt? Bob was able to answer all of these questions and more without pressuring the client. Even if the potential client did not hire Bob as their finance consultant, Bob knew they were still in the market for something.
The fact that they were visiting his web site proved their interests in personal finance. He then added affiliate links on his site that linked to credit card and debt consolidation companies. By including these affiliates, Bob was able to get up to $20.00 per client that signed up with each one of his affiliates links. If Bob ended up losing a potential client (they did not want his services) at least he was able to make some money of the person. In the end, Bob was earning half of his income from personal consulting and the other half from his affiliate campaign.
So the crux is that having a business website of your own is not very difficult. It just requires a basic knowledge of computers and can bring out some very decent results to your earning potentials.
How to Make The Most Out of Text Link Advertising
Nov 18th
What are Text Link Ads?
Text link ads are nothing more than links in your website content (articles, posts, comments etc) which point to another website (homepage or otherwise) from your website.
What is the importance of links (backlinks)?
All major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) use link analysis and link popularity as their primary approach to ranking websites. The key to beating today’s search engines is having high quality links pointing to your site.
Buying paid links is just one of the many ways that you can increase inbound links to your site.
Search engines view a static link to your website as a “vote” of popularity for your website. The common term for this is link popularity. Link popularity is a huge factor in determining top search engine rankings.
This dual benefit of both targeted traffic and search engine ranking is what makes text link advertising the most cost-effective cost-return advertising available online today!
How Buying Text Links Can Improve Your Site
When you think about buying text links for your website, there any many factors to consider.
Am I Trying To Earn Traffic?
Buying websites for traffic can be a great investment, especially if you target your text link purchases to relevant, high-traffic websites. The incoming traffic that is generated from your paid text links can deliver targeted visitors that are interested in the products and services you offer on your website.
Am I Trying To Improve Search Engine Results?
Buying text links in order to improve your standing with search engines can be very effective, especially if you buy text links from authority websites, aged websites, or popular websites. Websites that have “been around” have earned trust and value with the search engines, and websites that they link to are often given higher marks, especially again if those paid text links are from relevant websites in the same neighborhood.
Am I Trying To Improve Google Pagerank?
Google’s Pagerank system is just one of a hundred factors that determine the strength and standing of your website, as it pertains to search engine results. Buying text links to gain PR is likely going to be a waste of your time and your money as paid text links for PR will be of little or no value to you. While finding relevant websites with high PR might be an indication that the website is worth buying texts links on, it isn’t a critical factor for your own website.
Remember, when your business is interested in purchasing text links for advertising purposes, you need to determine the value. Buying text links for traffic and for backlinks will certainly help you improve your website, especially over the long term.
How to Make Money With Your Twitter Account
Nov 18th
Twitter is today,s one of the best methods to communicate. It really has changed the way we talk to each other and has emerged as one of the most simple, innovative and effective ways of promiting your business in web 2.0.
But is that all twitter has on offfer? The answer is NO!
But how can you make maoney just by tweeting? If you are a regular twitter user and have already built a large fan following, you can cash it out in many ways. I am going to discuss two of the best ways you can make money with your twitter account.
1. Sponsoredtweets.com
It is the best platform for any tweeter to make money. All you need to earn money with sponsoredtweets is more than 200 followers and an account older than 120 days. That’s it. Once you sign up, (which you can do HERE), your account becomes visible to thousands of potential advertisers. Then, depending upon the type of tweets you do and the topics you often discuss, you are contacted by an advertiser. You will be paid a fixed amount of money for every tweet from that advertiser that you tweet. And that is not all, the best part is that you decide the amount you want per tweet. Although it is nice to keep your demands to a lower level, but if you are an influential twitterer and have a large followers list, you can ask for a handsome amount of money per tweet.
What diferentiates sponsoredtweets from other platforms is the quality of advertisers it has. It is definately the best one available to make money of your twitter account. Sign up TODAY.
2. Be-a-Magpie.com
It is (according to me) the second best tool available for making money with twitter. It also works more or less the same way but the tweets you get to post may pay you differently. e.g., the advertisers may pay you on a “Per View” basis or a “Per sale” basis. But the good part is that you get to select which ads you want to tweet and you can even rephrase it in your own words (requires approval from the advertisers). Sign up TODAY.
I for a regular twitterer having a good number of followers, these two sites are all that is required. There are many more I can list here but I feel it can have a bad impact on your twitter profile as it will make your impression as a spammer.
If you own a website and use twitter as a promotional method, that is what you should use it as primarily. Making money out of it is ok but don’t over-do it or else, you will landup in loss.
