Earn Extra Money WIth Top Five Lists

I stumbled across a website the other day called List My Five where you can create top five lists and make money. It is a very simple concept and it seems to be working. So far I have only posted five lists, and gotten less than 100 views, but it already shows I have earned money. If you are looking for a way to make a little extra spending money, check this site out. Here is an example of one of my lists.

How Do You Make Money With Adsense?

I have spent the better part of the past two years of my life signing up for almost every website out there that pays you money. Some of the sites have worked out pretty well, most have been a failure and waste of time. Despite by efforts and small earnings to show, I have not given up. The problem I have had with most websites is there is a middle man. If you contribute to a website that has a revenue sharing model, they are not sharing much with you. That is why I decided to start a few blogs and use Adsense to make money. With adsense, there is no middle man. There is only you and Google and the amount of money you can make is great, but how do you do it?

Well I hate to break your heart, but you have not landed on a magic page that will tell you everything you need to know to make lots of money. However, you have come to a place where I think you will gain some useful knowledge that could be beneficial to making more money.

The first thing I will discuss is the actual ads. It is very important that your ads blend in to your webpage so viewers don’t run away as if they are virus links. Make sure the background and text of your ad blocks closely matches your page so readers may be more inclined to click on the links.

The second topic I will discuss, and one that I have yet to master, is proper use of keywords. Some people have a niche for this, others like me, do not. However, using proper keywords is the difference in whether or not you will see good traffic on your site. This does not mean, however, to water down your article with too many keywords. Using Google Adwords, you can find goo quality keywords, and use them in your title, and maybe a few times in your article. This will give you good search results, without confusing the Google Bot.

Finally, a great way to increase traffic, and thus increase earnings, is backlinks. Every so often, Google scans the internet world to update its indexing for all the pages it crawls. One of the ways your site’s index will increase is to have lots of backlinks. This would be a great time for you to start socializing your website or blog through sites such as Digg, Yahoo Buzz, and countless others. The higher your index, the earlier your site will show up in search results.

I hope this article will inspire you to practice different techniques, and find out what works best for you. Remember, do not give up. There is a lot of money out there to be made on the internet, and I vow to be one of the few that have great success. Good luck!

How to Get More Traffic to Your Blog

I have been blogging for a long time. I definitely do not consider myself an expert as the first blog I started was a washout and failure. This time I am trying something a little different. I want to make sure that what I blog about is interesting and informative, and in some cases, good entertainment. This way I can get lots of traffic to my blog so people can find out what is going on in my thick skull. One easy I am trying this time is to periodically check Yahoo's main webpage. At the bottom right corner of the page is a box labeled "Today's Top Searches". It is a quick way to learn what Yahoo users are searching for, and there may be something in that list you feel passionate about, or can write about. Doing this is one way to increase traffic to your blog. Also, although I am guilty of getting lazy, you must post as often to your blog as you can, maybe even everyday. Keep fresh material on your blog. Remember, the news changes everyday. If it didn't, nobody would watch it.

Trying to Make Money Online

There are tons of different ways to make money online, from filling out surveys, to writing “how to” articles, or to writing articles in any format. I have spent the last two years of my life trying to find the magic formula for making money. I have not figured it out yet, but I am not giving up. A good friend of mine has written an EBook on how he makes money online, and it is filled with great information. If you would like a copy of his FREE EBook, follow this link:

In my experience, I have had the best experience with two sites. They are Ehow and Bukisa. Ehow is a site where you simply write articles in a “how to” format and they provide Adsense, among other advertisements, and give you a portion of the revenue they make. A link to my Ehow profile can be found here:

Bukisa is a site that works similar, but you can write articles in a “how to” format, or any other format, post videos, or audio clips and they pay you per unique page impression. They also use a revenue sharing model that when people sign up under your referral link, they match a portion of the income they make and give it to you. This is also a great way to make money online. A link to my Bukisa profile can be found here:
