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.

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.
