Best PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Programs To Make Money From Blogging
PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Programs
PPC Programs have proven to be a great source of income for millions of bloggers worldwide. The simplest meaning of Pay-Per-Click programs lies in its name itself – You get paid for every click that is generated from your ads. Following are some PPC programs that are being used widely by bloggers in order to make money blogging.1) Google Adsense
It is proven to be the highest paying PPC Program worldwide and it pays out millions every month to its publishers. Google AdSense is well known for it’s keyword targeted (relevant) ads. Stats reveal that it has the highest CPC (cost-per-click) compared to any other PPC Program. It has a wide range of ad units to choose from, however the best ones are Responsive, 336×280, 728×90, 160×600 and 300×250. Google AdSense supports Media Rich and Text Ads, both individually and together.
2) Chitika Ads
Chitika is said to be the second best alternative for Google AdSense. The approval process is not at all complicated, and almost all blogs/sites with SOME good stuff can be easily approved (as opposed to AdSense where there are strict rules and policies). It offers a wide range of sizes for it’s ad units. An added advantage of Chitika is that it has a minimum payout of $10, with Paypal supported.
3) AdBrite
Can not be considered an alternative to Google Adsense as the CPC is comparatively low. But that said, a new blog MIGHT be able to make something from here. At Adbrite, the minimum pay is $10 and check is the only option (for now). If the blog can generate a good number of clicks every month, AdBrite can help you buy a lunch for yourself.
4) Bidvertiser
Saying from my personal experience, Bidvertiser only approves the clicks which it feels that should be approved. It manages the number of clicks you get from their side. Also, the ads are irrelevant and mostly show up to be the “Download Now” ads, which lead the user to a completely irrelevant page. Only one advantage – Minimum payment is $10, with PayPal supported.
5) InfoLinks
Just as it’s tagline says, InfoLinks is a PPC program for in-text advertising. This means that random keywords from your post/page would be decorated such that when hovered and clicked, it leads the user to the advertiser’s site. If you’re interested in in-text ads, InfoLinks is said to be the best.
Those were a few PPC programs that are used widely by many bloggers and site owners around the globe and undoubtedly, Google Adsense is the best among all. There is quite a bunch of more PPC Programs which might help you make money blogging.
Affiliate Programs – Promote And Make Money Blogging
Affiliate Programs have vigorously increased over the years and have proven to increase the sales like anything. Some bloggers believe that this is rocket science but honestly, it’s easier than any math problem ever made. A simple meaning of any affiliate program goes like this – The Affiliate puts up a banner/link on his blog (or directly gives a link to someone). The link, when visited, registers a ‘cookie’ on that browser. This cookie is then tracked by the Affiliate Software in use. When someone makes a purchase through that link, a specified commission is paid to the publisher. That’s a simple Affiliate Marketing process and some have their own rules.Following are a few platforms where you can find several products to promote.
1) ClickBank
One of the most used platforms for selling and promoting digital products. Clickbank has an extremely wide range of products to choose from, making it very easy for any publisher to make money blogging by promoting, reviewing, and displaying products to whevever they could.
2) Amazon Associates
Amazon is well known for the range of products it offers. From stationery to vehicles, everything can be found on Amazon. It works pretty much like a dime sale i.e. the more number of sales you have, the more commission you get. There are many thousands of bloggers out there who were successful to make money blogging by being an Amazon Associate.
3) Commission Junction
Another great platform to find affiliate products to promote is CJ (Commission Junction). It has a great potential to help you make money blogging by introducing you to a wide range of companies which offer affiliate commissions. Unlike Clickbank, CJ acts as a base platform for the seller. This means that all the affiliate tools etc are set up at the seller’s page on Commission Junction.
4) ShareASale
ShareASale is similar to Commission Junction. It has it’s own platform where sellers list their product(s) and affiliates apply to the company’s program if interested. The current payout options are – Check and Bank Transfer (in Selected Countries Only). Many successful sellers have used ShareASale to sell their products and have had continued success doing the same. Merchants also include DiyThemes (Thesis WordPress Theme), on which this blog runs.
5) JVZoo
Though JVZoo has some amazing merchants using it, I personally prefer it because it has a unique policy which rarely any other platform has – Instant Payments! Yes, there’s no requirement to reach a minimum amount in order to receive a payment in hand. Once a purchase is transacted through your link, the commission is automatically sent to your PayPal account instantly!
These were a few platforms where you can find a lot of products and services to promote and earn commissions. But there are many such merchants who wish to have their own affiliate programs (not linked with platforms like the above), where you can apply and then join hands to promote their products.
Sell Your Digital Products/Service To Make Money Blogging
Selling your own products/services might not be appropriate for new bloggers, as they’ll need some good time settling down with their blog and especially producing quality content in a good amount. But once you are sure that your blog has enough content that is being appreciated by its readers, then you might want to take a step further and add more creativity to your blog. The following things can be done as a part of selling your own digital products.
1) Writing And Selling eBooks
Even though there are hundreds of thousands of ebooks around the internet, your ebook can have it’s own definition, if you wish so. To become a successful ebook writer and seller, you first need to bring out the uniqueness from within. Brian Clark from CopyBlogger has an amazing article on Ebooks That Sell. There are several ways you can sell your ebook. Following are some –
- Sell directly from your blog or using email marketing by having an ebook in .pdf (Adobe Acrobar Reader) format.
- Sell On Apple’s iBookStore.
- Sell on Kindle
2) Providing Paid Services
Hundreds of bloggers earn using this strategy. All you need is some talent for a specific sort of thing that you’ll do for some bucks. This could be anything. Following are some common things bloggers do to get quickly make money blogging –
- Logo Designing
- WordPress Installation (Mostly Free, with some conditions)
- Banner Designing
- Blog Set-Up (Plugins, Proper Settings etc) and much more.
There are many things which ONLY YOU can do, so I don’t know what to share here because you have that special quality which I’m not aware about yet.
Get Paid For Sponsored Stuff
This has been practiced by almost all bloggers around the globe. Following are the sub-categories for sponsored stuff.
Sponsored Reviews
Everyday, there are many services/products launched and if you have a good niche, like internet marketing, then you have more chances on this. The process here is quite simple – either the product owner contacts a publisher or vice versa, but the first one mostly comes into action. Once your blog get’s a good amount of readers, you might get contacted by someone to write a paid review on their product, and the best part is that you both decide the charges, and negotiate accordingly!
Paid Advertisement
Have you ever seen banners such as the one on the left? I’m sure you have. Those banners are put by the blog owners to attract any advertisers who want to advertise on that blog. This basically happens in the following different ways.
- Direct Conversation and Payment
- Using platforms like BuySellAds or others.
Bottomline
Those were the basic ways to make money blogging. The above mentioned ways are practiced by hundreds of thousands of bloggers who are successful in doing the same. If they can, why not you?How to add floating social networks buttons ?

Get Great Ideas For Your Content Blog
easily get distracted
and everything seems to have already been written! To make matters
worse, requirements to content concepts and titles have become much more
complicated. With the growing importance of referral traffic, we now
have to rethink title strategies and how they appear on social sites.
Check your Comments Section
When you let people share and comment on your site, you could end up
with some great blog post ideas. Your readers might ask for more
information about a specific item you didn’t cover clearly in your first
post, or they might share their own opinions about the topic, which
could make your fingers itch to write. Reading those bits carefully
could make your blogging much easier.
Check out the Competition
According to 2014 stats, more than half of all small businesses don’t
have a website. As a result, your top competitor may not have a blog
that you can follow. But that same competitor might be active on social
media sites like Twitter and Facebook. The posts you find there could
give you great ideas about topics you should cover.
If you grab an idea from someone else, be sure to tweak it or amend it
or somehow make it your own. Stealing outright could get you in hot
water, both with your competitors and with Google. But borrowing a good
idea could help you to come up with the story idea that’s been eluding
you.
Yelp Pages
People with reputation management problems are likely accustomed to the
idea of using Yelp as an early warning system. When they see a poor
review pop up, they know they must get to work generating content that
either refutes or explains the complaint. But Yelp can also help you
write blog posts about issues people either like or have questions
about.
Read through your reviews and look for items that get a lot of mentions.
Not all Yelp comments will contain blog gems, of course. Some might
just contain complaints or random bits of praise you can’t build on.
But, watching the comments closely could give you some great ideas for
writing that will really resonate.
Targeted Keyword Research
And ofcourse, nothing beats good ol' fashioned keyword research. This is
a fundamental part of the writing process, as it helps you find the
right terms which will perform better on SERPs. But more than SEO, your
searches can also help you to find out what people are looking for, and
that could give you some excellent blog post ideas.
With Google AdWords‘ Keyword Planner, you can run a simple search on a
topic you’re planning to cover. Your results page will give you keywords
that are similar to the topic you’ve hit, but they come with just a few
changes.
We'll soon publish an entire section dedicated to keyword research in the SEO process, so stay tuned!
Coming up with new content ideas is not easy. But if poke around and are
receptive enough, with enough luck you will soon find great content
ideas to go on your blog! Good luck :)

Search Engine Optimization:Tricks For Improving The SEO Of Your Website
Most people take a lot of pride in the sites they build and the businesses they put together via the web. But this pride doesn’t come without first experiencing success. No one is proud of a failed business or website. Here are some SEO tips you can use in order to make a success of your business:
For the best results in search engine optimization, be sure to use only the highest quality of content. It doesn’t matter how many great keywords you have in an article if the article is dull, trite, or simply badly written. Search engine bots are not going to buy your product or service, people are. If your article can’t impress people your search engine rankings won’t matter.
An introduction to search engine optimization can be found all over the Internet. This is where you would go to learn how to get more traffic onto your web site. This is very common for those who have affiliate sites, blogs to generate income.
Keep your keywords in mind, but create your page for the users. Search engines crawl for keywords but they are not the ones choosing to click on your link. A page title or meta description that is full of keywords without content will keep people from clicking on your link.
Continually focus on ways to improve your search engine optimization throughout the life cycle of your site. While initial consideration during design is important, continual adjustments and tweaks to your optimization plans keep your site moving up in ranking results. Be proactive in reviewing trends or analytic data and make ongoing adjustments accordingly.
If you are looking to hire a company to do your SEO for you, make sure to research and interview them thoroughly. Determine what kind of tactics that they use for their optimization and make sure that it fits in with your brand and business strategies. Ask if they can provide references for companies that they have helped and search them. If they rank high, you may be on the right track.
If you would like to increase your search engine traffic through back links, make use of social media. Sites like Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook allow users to share your links on their own page with a simple click of a button. Many Twitter and Facebook pages have high page rankings, and being linked to from them can significantly increase the page rank of your own site.
Today most search engines are capable of indexing Flash content on a website, but be cautious in using it on your site. Flash content simply does not index as well or as completely as HTML. For optimal search engine ranking make sure your site relies primarily on plain HTML, and only use Flash for non-essential bonus content.
As you can deduce from the information above, search engine optimization is about making your website appeal to the engine and to your particular market. It’s a careful blend of quality control and targeted advertising that you can pull off by using what you’ve learned above. So, how about working for that first page placement?

Googler’s Routine For AdWords Management
the Quality Score Tracker – and we’ve been busy adding tools, reports and optimizations since then. Now, one of the most common questions we get is when to use various optimizations — and, of course, these apply no matter what tools you’re using.
There are plenty of daily tweaks to make in any AdWords account, but what are some of the optimizations we do on a regular schedule? While there’s no one right answer for every account, I’ll share some of my thoughts about what to do and when to do it to keep an account in great shape.
Do These At Least Quarterly
AdWords changes all the time — in the past year, we saw one of the bigger changes in recent memory with the forced migration to Enhanced Campaigns. AdWords also frequently launches new features that are less dramatic than Enhanced Campaigns but that can still have a huge impact on how your ads perform. Make sure you’re not missing out on any of these. Here are a few recent examples:
Mobile Bid Modifiers
Now that mobile and desktop ads are all served from a single campaign, are you using mobile bid modifiers for maximum performance?
Be sure you’re looking at how your ads are performing on different devices so you’re not losing money on mobile devices or tablets. With bid modifiers, you can bid lower for mobile clicks and make sure your ROI is similar to that on desktop. Try to avoid bidding your mobile clicks down 100% because that’s not a viable long-term strategy in most cases.
It reminds me of when we launched the Google Display Network and some advertisers were convinced this was a complete waste of money and turned it off entirely. Smart advertisers figured out how to set the right bids, set the right targeting and make this a very profitable part of their business.
I think there’s no such thing as a bad click, just a click that’s too expensive. So make sure your bids are set correctly to take advantage of the growing number of mobile searches. If you don’t do something with them, your competitors will.
AdWords Scripts
I talk about these ad nauseum, but I believe this is the biggest untapped opportunity for most advertisers. The ability to create custom reports, automate your secret sauce and become a more efficient marketer offers a huge advantage to advertisers that are not afraid of a little code (or copy-and-pasting code written by others).
Use AdWords Scripts to automate reports and optimizations you do frequently.
Conversion Tracking
It continues to amaze me how many accounts I come across that spend a lot of money but are not tracking conversions properly. If you’re not yet tracking conversions, figure out a way to start doing this immediately. Either that or go flush some money down the toilet… I’m serious, if you’re advertising online and not tracking conversions, you’ve got a big problem that you need to fix quickly.
If your conversions happen offline, you can now import this with Conversion Import, a tool Google launched in September.
And, thanks to Call Extensions being counted as conversions since November, it’s easier than ever to track calls as conversions without using any third-party tools.
Get A Better Ad Rank With Ad Extensions
The ad ranking formula changed in October: in addition to Quality Score and the bid, the performance of ad extensions is now also a factor. This makes a lot of sense since Quality Score is mostly a measure of CTR, and according to Google, ad extensions like sitelinks improve CTR of ads by 30% on average. So, by factoring the CTR of an extension into the ad ranking formula, advertisers that have added CTR boosting extensions get rewarded with a higher rank for their ads.
Use ad extensions to improve your CTR and get a better rank for your ad.
New ad extensions get launched periodically, so make sure you’ve taken a look at all the ones that are available to you. For example, are you using review extensions yet? They let you enhance your ad with a short snippet from a third-party review of your company. Have you updated your sitelinks with the two additional lines of text you’re now allowed to include? Have you considered setting different sitelinks for different ad groups now that sitelinks are no longer set at just the campaign level?
As you can see, there are always new features in AdWords — so be sure to do at least a quarterly review to ensure you’re not falling behind your competitors.
Do These At Least Monthly
Ad Text Cleanup
Ad text testing may be the most neglected account management task… not surprisingly so, since it’s the hardest to do correctly when using just the AdWords interface. While it’s easy to create new ads (have you tried Ready Ads yet for display ads?), it’s hard to keep track of what you’re testing and how the experiments are going. Even if you set ad rotation to let Google show the best performing ads more often, you end up with a slew of ads that don’t get served much but are still active in your account.
If you’re looking to clean up ads that are not performing well, doing the math to find those ads that are underperforming with at least a 95% confidence is not trivial. We have just launched a preview of a new report in Optmyzr that helps identify underperforming ads. Brad Geddes also has a new tool called adAlysis that helps with ad text optimization. And of course, there’s boostCTR, a company I advise, that’s been in the ad optimization space for several years.
The ad on the left has a 99% probability of beating the ad on the right. Go through your account periodically to look for the losers and delete them.
The next challenge with ad text optimization is finding winning ad text elements. You’re probably using similar lines across many ad groups; but, AdWords doesn’t provide any reporting that aggregates the performance of all headlines, description lines and display URLs.
For that, I wrote an AdWords Script that spits out a Google Sheet with aggregated performance data for every line I use in my ads. I can easily see if the line “Free Shipping” or “Next Day Delivery” has a better CTR. Armed with that data, I can quickly generate a bunch of new ad variations using the better performing text; then, next month, I can use one of the tools to clean up ads that are underperforming and do another round of tests.
Keyword Cleanup
While we are all buying keywords from Google, we should really be thinking about managing queries rather than managing keywords. The reason is that most keywords are not exact matches, so they are getting clicks and impressions from a variety of related queries.
I wrote last month that broad match keywords are liars. What you ideally want to do is take tight control over queries that you know convert or are critical to your business. By adding these as exact match keywords, you’ll have more certainty over their rank, cost and messaging.
One of the issues with broad match keywords is that they tend to rank worse for a query than another keyword that is an exact match to the query. That’s because in the case where the query and keyword exactly match, the advertiser has told Google they definitely want to have their ad show — when the keyword is a broad match, there is some uncertainty, and Google typically will rank that lower due to the uncertainty factor.
Add New Keywords From The Search Terms Report
At least once a month, check the search terms report and add converting queries as keywords to the account. You can add them to the ad group that generated the impression or you can add them to a new ad group, or even a special campaign for converting keywords.
When you put the new keyword by itself as an exact match into a new ad group, you’re tightly controlling the messaging in your ad for that one query. When you place the new ad group into a campaign with other converting keywords, you’re able to allocate a separate budget to converting keywords and ideally set that budget to be unconstrained.
Find Negative Keywords In The Long Tail Of Queries
At the same time, find negative themes from your search terms report. Do this by taking the keyword list and running it through a word cloud tool. That way, terms that appear more frequently will be more noticeable and you’ll have a better way to see what words from the long-tail represent a potentially significant volume of irrelevant clicks.
Deduplicate Keywords
When you’re actively adding new keywords to the account, you may find yourself accidentally creating duplicates. This is not a terrible thing, but it does complicate account management. So be sure to clean up duplicate keywords at least monthly. The AdWords Editor will help you find these, and we have a tool that takes it a step further and suggests the best one to keep based on QS, Conversions, CTR and other metrics.
Sculpt Your Account To Drive Queries To The Right Ad Group
One optimization we really like is to look through the search terms report for situations where Google shows a different ad than the one we had written for a particular query. This happens quite frequently in most accounts and reduces our control over the landing page, ad messaging and bids; so, we add negative exact match keywords to limit this behavior at least once a month.
Bid Cleanup
Make sure bids are sensible and your bid management strategy hasn’t just killed off your best keyword without telling you.
If you’re managing bids manually, look for converting keywords where you may be bidding slightly below the first page bid estimate or where your impression share is too low.
Clean up keywords that have spent too much and aren’t converting, especially if they aren’t exact matches.
Do These At Least Daily
There are plenty of tweaks to make in accounts every day. How do you know what tweaks to make? It’s best to have a clear set of reports and metrics by which you’re judging things and give yourself a big enough time window for the analysis. That way, you can steer your account in a consistent direction without making too many changes too fast. It’s like steering a car, you want to look far enough ahead and steer to the middle of the lane you want to be in rather than bouncing from one line to the other by looking just in front of the car’s hood.
For example, if you take too short a view on conversions, you may be missing the fact that some conversions take several days to happen (you can check this in Search Funnels in your AdWords account) and your bid adjustments could set bids lower than ideal.
Look For Anomalies
What I do look for are daily anomalies, or items in the account that are completely off track. For example, are there keywords that are suddenly spending way more than usual and converting poorly? Are there ad groups that show consistently declining CTR? The AdWords engineers wrote some AdWords Scripts that will notify you when some of these things happen.
Analyze Y-O-Y Data
I also like to compare last year’s top-performers to the top-performers now. If there are differences, try to understand why so that you can react appropriately.
Conclusion
So, those are some thoughts on how to manage an AdWords account for success. Stay on top of the performance every day and get into the routine of doing some of the standard optimizations on a weekly or monthly schedule, and do at least a quarterly audit to make sure you’re taking advantage of all the latest capabilities of the system.
How to Use Blogger and Google+ Comments System Together With Toggle
We have created a toggle method that would allow you to enable the new
Google+ Comments, but without losing your old Blogger commenting system.
Users can continue to comment like they use to do in the past but
Google Plus users can hit the “G+” toggle button and can comment, share
and view the activity you post has had using that.
What are the Disadvantages of Google+ Comments?
First and foremost to use this feature, it is must that a person should
have an account on Google plus otherwise he cannot leave a reply. Now
not every single person on this earth is using this platform so this
probably would annoy your visitors.
Secondly, this commenting system depends upon the URLs. Unlike Facebook
Application ID, it does no stores anything in your API. You would lose
your all previous comments if you change the URL of your article or
think about re-branding your domain.
It does not send notifications to your Email Address whenever someone
either leaves a reply to your blog or posts a new comment. On the other
hand, all comments are published instantly without any review so it may
become an ideal place for Spammers.

instead you are giving them the freedom to choose their most preferable
platform. It does bring a lot of benefits to both you and your readers.
