Adsense Addict

They say that the secret to any sport is practice but we can’t take the fact that good equipment also improves your sport.  Pooldawg has ordered this review from so that I could help them stand out from the crowd.

PoolDawg is one of the leading suppliers of pool cues to all over the world.  Heading over to their site, I notice that the site is filled with different pool cues that are offered at a much lower price than other site.  The site is consist of 3 rows, the first one is consist of New Wood Branded Pool Cues, the second row is filled with special deals, and the last one is where you can find some accessories for your billiard hobby.

I tried to find more about pool cues by clicking on the product and the page displays the overview of the product to better know about it.  It also allows the user to rate the product so that it could help a certain buyer in deciding.  They are claiming that they can deliver the product within 24 hours of order

To tell you the truth, I don’t know anything about billiards since I never really learned to play this sport.  So if you were looking for some of the best deals then it would be better if you were going to research thoroughly about these items.

It looks like that making money online is a hit these days that everyday more and more people are jumping to the band wagon.  There are two ways to make money online, get a job or establish your own website.  Developing a website seems a much preferred choice for many since the outcomes are higher.

If you want to develop a website then you must bought a hosting and a domain.   WebHostingChoice has ordered this review on my blog.  To start with this site is all about hosting sites.  My sites are all hosted with Bluehost but if only I have knew about this site before then I would surely use this.  To be honest I am not that happy with my current hosting since I found out that I can’t use it on an adult site.

Aside from the top 10 hosting sites, you could also find some hosting sites for adult, blog hosting, budget hosting and the list go on.  Just one thing that I am sure about this site is that there is lots of hosting site from which you could choose from.

This site also shares some ways you could find if your hosting site is a scam or not.  First of all, there are no such things as unlimited bandwidth since you would have to share the bandwidth with others who have availed of this feature.  This is what I have learned from using Bluehost.  Other scams that can be seen here is no contact, long term contracts only, domain registration not in your name, no money back guarantee, and complicated uptime guarantee.

This is a paid review!

I’m a Widgeteer now.

A what?

Yes, you read it right. A Widgeteer.

What’s that?

Recently I joined the hottest advertising network on the planet for free: The Widgeteers Global Super Viral Advertising Network. Twenty or so marketers from across the world have built a sort of people’s advertising network and are sharing the wealth in the spirit of the three Musketeers…

“All for One and One for All!”

The Widgeteers use various advertising methods such as the widget I have on the right, block ads similar to Google Adsense like the one below, which you can edit to suit your site as well as flying and exit advertising.

There are a few things i found useful with The Widgetters advertising system such as you can cloak your affiliates link to look like a normal URL. The Widgeteers allow affiliate links, so not only can you drive traffic to your blog or website, you can advertise your affiliates program or affilaites website.

Other nice touches include changing your ads on the fly ( you change your ad and it changes automatically across the network) and you get credits for just displaying adverts, no clicking involved,  which should be good for fellow Entrecard users.

Also, when anyone you refer to The Widgeteers joins and displays widgets on their web site, you receive additional credits. As others sign up below them, you earn even more credits. This continues for a full ten levels deep. And if you refer someone who upgrades their account you can actually make some commission.

One thing that really impressed me with The Widgeteers was that on the original launch date about a week ago, they experienced some difficulties, but they actually had a live webcam show updating members on the current situation and what was being done. Now that is what I call customer service.

Now you know why I’m a Widgeteer.

There is a new kid on the block!

ViralBlogAds.com has partnered with Simon Emery (creator of OIOpublisher) to form a new blog advertising program.

ViralBlogAds is a Pay-Per-Click image ad network for blogs. Their focus is on producing a robust and easy to use advertising platform. At present only 125×125 and 468×60 banners are accepted in the usual jpg, png and gif format. You can see my ad on the left of the Entrecard banner just to the right.

Once released publishers will be able to sell advertising space on their website. Publishers will be able to add up to 3 free ads to exchange with other users. All active publishers are also eligble to use our blog ad exchange to increase their own site’s exposure; not to mention a chance to win a share of our monthly bonus jackpot.

At this stage, ViralblogAds is in pre-launch stage but you can sign up here and win a prize from the pre-launch competition fund.

Upon joining ViralBlogAds.com you will be given a unique referral link with which to start earning commissions. And the commission? – How does 15% of earnings of all publishers that you refer, for life sound! The commission is 20% for all who sign-up during pre-launch.

As an advertiser, I am not to sure how this works until ViralBlogAds.com is officially released. They do state on their website that prices are market driven, utilising an easy to use bidding system. They also offer an ad check feature to gauge the coverage of a campaign across the network.

Statistics are broken down into a daily archive, enabling advertisers to drill down to the stats of specific domains. Analyzing and tweaking the performance of a campaign has never been easier.

A couple of interesting features mentioned are the Blog Ad Exchange. This feature allows publishers to advertise their own blog(s) on the network, if there is no inventory available at the time. This way, they can make sure that publishers receive exposure in a mutually beneficial manner.

Another feature is the VBA Bonus Fund. The fund is a publisher incentive program, designed to reward those who actively participate on the site with a larger cash bonus. At the end of each month, the fund will be split between several eligible publishers, who will be selected using random.org.

Once officially released i will write an update post on some of the features ViralBlogAds.com have for both publishers and advertisers.

As mentioned previously, ViralblogAds is still in pre-launch stage but you can sign up to ViralBlogAds.com here.

This is phase 2 of my evil plan to take on the smaller banner exchange sites. I have just started a new website called www.buypixads.com

This takes my total number of sites to four, with Zipposuperstore.com, AdsenseAddict.com and WebBannerz.com being the other three.

Obviously my main focus is to make money online, but here at AdsenseAddict the goal is to help others not only earn money online but also help them find ways to market and advertise their site and attract quality visitors.

WebBannerz.com was phase one of my plan to help people advertise their site using banner exchanges. But as you know there are a lot of free banner exchange sites out there, but i felt most lacked something.

That is where BuyPixAds.com is different. I call it Unconventional Advertising – The Pixelated Advertising Site. You purchase pixel ad space on our home page and the price is calculated on the number of pixels your logo or banner occupies.

Don’t worry, it does not cost $1 a pixel or anything crazy like that. We are charging $0.02 per
10×10 pixel block. So for example if you would like to purchase a 125×125 ad space, it would cost just under $3US per month.

It works out to be less than 10 cents a day! So if you are looking for a different way to advertise what have you got to lose.

The following sizes are accepted, 100×100, 125×125, 200×200 and 468×60 logos or banners. Prices are per month. And please no porn or nudity pictures.

Besides the benefit of gaining traffic when submitting your logo or banner, you can specify a title and alt tag value for your site so hopefully BuyPixAds.com will also help improve your rankings with search engines as all links will be counted as backlinks to your website or blog.

Last post i mentioned about The Thirty Day Challenge and how i was going to start a new website in a different niche. I can then use what i learn from The Thirty Day Challenge and try this advice out on this new site.

Well it is almost ready. So let the controversy begin!

WebBannerz.com is phase one of my plan (insert evil laugh here) to take on the smaller banner exchange sites. (don’t worry Entrecard i am years away from where you are). I am doing most of the programming myself, and dont really know what i am doing, so who knows where this will site will end up. The first thing i need to do is change the template and there is 1 or 2 coding problems so i am in for some late nights, that much i do know

First let me say, i know, i know, another bloody 125 x 125 banner exchange site, but i thought i would give it a go as i think the niche is relatively small with only Entrecard.com the front runner so far. I also thought with most niches you usually have the top sites ( say Google, Yahoo and MSN) sharing traffic, so maybe there is room for WebBannerz.com.

But i need a bit of help please.

WebBannerz.com is still in the first stages of testing. Most banner exchange sites are not really community orientated, again Entrecard is way in front here. I have a few ideas on a community banner exchange site but i am not sure if i am heading in the right direction.

So please, if you have any ideas or advice on what bloggers would like to see in a community banner exchange website please feel free to leave a comment. Maybe free text link exchange? More wiki pages? Another Digg or Myspace for a specific niche? Just let me know what you need. Remember it is all about backlinks.

Please note: this is not a autosurf program, it is a banner exchange site. You copy a simple HTML code and insert it into your wordpress widget. Our main focus is quality, not quantity traffic. You only exchange banners with-in the same categories, so you can target your visitors. Through different categories and by underlining specific keywords, you can target your ad exposures within a specific audience, and dramatically increase the effectiveness of your campaign.

PS: More BIG NEWS next post.

Here at adsenseaddict, we are always looking at ways to make money online and attract more visitors to our site. The latest method we are experimenting with is from a website called RevResponse.com.

What makes RevResponse.com different?

RevResponse.com offers content your visitors would pay for but don’t have to. Here’s how it works,

NetLine’s TradePub.com offers free B2B magazine subscriptions and other business resources, including informative white papers, analyst reports, live and on-demand webinars, software downloads, podcasts, and more, across a wide range of industries. RevResponse puts this content at your fingertips, enabling you to provide your visitors with a free resource library that will keep them coming back again and again.

Unlike most ad networks that display links of questionable interest to your visitors, or affiliate networks that pay you only when your referred visitor parts with their hard earned cash, RevResponse helps you present free content thats of genuine value to your sites visitors. Then they pay you when they take advantage of it.

When you sign up with RevResponse, you are given a co-branded TradePub.com home page to promote. You can see our own TradePub.com home page here.

Then all you have to do is promote your TradePub.com home page as a link in your forum signature, link it to your Sitehoppin Beer Stock page, or use any other way you use for promoting your site. Then sit back and make money online. Well that’s the idea anyway.

Have a blog? Customize one of RevResponse’s blog post modules to supplement your content and complement your design or leverage one of their widgets. Want to feature a free techie magazine in your email newsletter? They’ve got ad units for that too. How about a standalone email featuring the Top 10 Free Sales & Marketing magazines? Consider it done. You can see a example of RevResponse’s widget under our Entrecard banner.

RevResponse.com will guarantee a $1.50 minimum on every qualified subscription/request your audience generates. It’s uncommon for a publisher to earn the bare minimum and you can expect to earn substantially more. RevResponse also offers a referral program. You will be paid 20% of the earnings that your referral partners generate for the first 6 months of their partnership.

So why not give RevResponse a try and let me know your feedback.

Starting April i have decided to to trial Tnx.net for a month.

Now i know there is a lot of talk about Tnx.net and how Google frowns upon ‘paid links’, but if used correctly i think it could have major benefits.

In this post i will describe a little bit about how Tnx.net works, but also my tips on how to use Tnx.net and hopefully make some money online and not get into Google’s bad books.

Publishers

One of the main advantages of using Tnx.net is that you can sell links on every page of your site, instead of just the main page.

Whenever a link on your site is sold to one of the tnx.net advertisers, you get paid in points. When you collect enough points you have three options available on what you can do with these points

Build up points and watch the price grow.
Sell points back to Tnx.net or any other member.
Advertise your website.

Tnx.net has a special offer on digital point forums where you can receive 5000 points to advertise on 5000 websites.

But if you would like to make money online with Tnx.net, the price at last look was about $0.61/1000 points. $5 is the minimum payout for Tnx.net and is paid via paypal.

Tnx.net also has a affiliate program which offers 13.3% of all Tnx points he/she earns in the future.

Advertisers

Once you have collected enough Tnx points you can use these to get backlinks from 1000s of sites.

- 20 000 different PR0 pages from different websites
- 400 different PR1 pages from different websites
- 200 different PR2 pages from different websites
- 100 different PR3 pages from different websites
- 40 different PR4 pages from different websites
- 20 different PR5 pages from different websites

Tnx.net also offers a free tool for advertisers to make paid links look natural. Tnx.net also has some good tips which helps advertisers to rank #1 on Google for highly competetive keywords.

My tips for using Tnx.net

Please don’t quote me on this, but i remember reading somewhere Google’s Matt Cutts commenting on ‘paid links’,

“We are concerned with paid links that flow PageRank and attempt to game Google’s ranking. We are not worried about links that are paid but do not affect search engines. Google likes clean and relevant search results”

What you need to do as a publisher is only have relevant paid links on your site. Tnx.net allows you to approve advertisers, so make sure you only have relevant links showing on your site. You can read more about this feature here

Tnx.net currently has 50 672 users with daily growth: +0.26% so you are bound to find something in your niche.

As an advertiser your first impulse is to go out and buy 1000s of back links to your site. DON’T! Google likes clean and relevant links (there’s that relevant word again, but sorry i can’t stress its importance). Again, only advertise on sites relevant to your niche.

Also do not go and buy links to 1000s of sites at once. Google will not like the sudden appearance of 2000 back links to your site. So try and limit your advertising to a maximum of 8 relevant sites a day and have a total of about 80 links to your site going at once.

So we will give Tnx.net a go for a month and will let our readers know the outcome May 1st.

This is a free review to help an amazing artist Rachel Keslensky get her webcomic promoted.

Rachel is one talented artist. Rachel’s comic is not like most comics out there. Last Resort is a science fiction webcomic set in the future, where Rachel has sort of crossed Stephen King’s Running Man with a bit a Disney magic thrown in.

Last Resort – A Tale of High Crimes…And Higher Ratings.

Last Resort is about a reality show set in the far reaches of our galaxy. The story begins when a small Talmi violinist comes to Last Resort Station for a job only to find out she’s qualified in all the wrong places!

Check out Last Resort with 16 contestants, 12 criminals, 4 volunteers and one confused furry vampire. Characters also include Jigsaw and Addy – The new executioners and and my favorite Slick.

Some of Slick’s crimes include Illicit Smuggling of Leather Products, Manufacturing of Illicit Leather Products, Sale of Illicit Leather Products ( better save all your leather now, it looks like it might be valuable in the future) and First Degree Murder. Slick like most criminals says he is innocent and that he doesn’t even like leather. One thing i found funny was that his family has apparently been making assorted bondage products for years. Not only is Rachel talented, it appears has a good sense of humor.

Last Resort is a webcomic with weekly Sunday updates and is well worth the read.

Here is a copy a Rachel’s Entrecard logo which first attracted me to Last Resort.

Blog of Last Resort

Blog of Last Resort is where Rachel has combined her talents as an artist with different ways to make your webcomic successful. But Rachel’s blog is not only about webcomics. It also includes some very useful tips including how to advertise your website using ad networks such as Project Wonderful and Entrecard and also how to attract visitors to your site using Stumbleupon.

Rachel also talks about her own comic Last Resort and in her own words “How pushing a comic brand gets done”. This section covers Rachel’s real life experiences, when you are trying to advertise your artwork at conventions, trade shows etc. Actually some of the tips we might modify a little to promote our zippo lighter stall when we open at the markets.

So if you need a little relaxation after dropping all those Entrecards, check out Rachel’s webcomic Last Resort, it is one that i will be following in the future.
