Earlier this week, we noted a report that Google was showing banner ads on Google Images. Now via TechCrunch, a new implementation - an AdWords ad on Google Images with its own thumbnail image.
Notice in the screenshot above how a Guinness Logo is appearing next to a Target ad where NHL Buffalo merchandise is […]
My 3rd Adsense payment is now ready for collection and this will be the final update on Adsense’s recent new payment method via Western Union.
I have made collection from RHB and CIMB before and it seems that CIMB is more efficient. Therefore, I have ‘appointed’ CIMB as my official bank to collect my Adsense payment. 
You can also collect your Adsense payment via Pos Malaysia as well but not all outlets provide Western Union services. Furthermore, the queue is usually unbearable!
All publishers outside US will generate lesser income due to the drop in US currency recently. I have feeling that it will drop further seeing that US market fared in past weeks.

Time and time again, I read make money online gurus state that the make money online niche is a terrible niche and that people should not waste their time creating make money online blogs. In many ways these make money online gurus are right. But, they are not telling you the complete truth.
The first thing that the gurus complain about is the number of people you have to compete with. This is very true. There are currently over 12 million competing pages indexed by google for “make money online.”
The second biggest complaint is that the market is not that big. Well, this is half true. The market is pretty big. According to Wordtracker, 953 searches are done a day for “make money online”. 953 searches a day is nothing to shake a stick at.
The third complaint is that those who are competing in this niche are all really good at SEO. This too is true. If you want to rank for “make money online” you will need to compete with a lot of great Internet marketers who know a lot about search engine optimization.
But, does the make money online niche suck?
If making money online is a terrible niche, why do so many Internet marketers try to rank for the “make money online” keyword?
Hungry buyers is the answer!!
While the market is not huge, people who are looking to make money online are hungry buyers. They are the best type of traffic that you want to your site. They are desperate to learn how to make money online. And, they are willing to pay a lot to learn how to do it.
That is the secret that the make money online gurus are not telling you about. While it is a difficult niche to compete in, the make money online niche is great. So if you want to make money online, find a micro niche within the make money online market and you might be able to tap into a less competitive market and still make lots of money.

Many bloggers will not tell you this but I will. How to target keywords and get big traffic. Want to be successful with blogging? Build Traffic With Keywords!
Ok for past few months I have been trying to get exposure for my new technology blog! Yes I am tech guy who is very experienced in Networking as well as Systems for past 10-12 years. I turned my skills into blogging and here is how I achieve 120.000+ visitors per month in just 10 months!
First of all join every single social network there is such as Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Plurk, Digg, Stumbleupon and others. Socialize with others! Socialize with big bloggers , yes they will respond. And please don’t be annoying!
Nobody will tell you how to really target or build traffic with keywords, well I wil!
Focus on one keyword per day! How? Let say you want to focus on keyword called : Ipod Touch
Write that day 2-5 posts about Ipod Touch , most important is your Topic and Your description. In description mention Ipod Touch twice.
Example:
Topic: Top 10 Ipod Touch Applications
Description: Here are some of the best Ipod Touch Applications. The list below of the Top 10 Ipod Touch Applications is from……
Whats next?
Focus on another keyword and do the same thing as I explained above. Also I want you to be aware: DO NOT, I REPEAT! DO NOT use HIGH END Keywords like MAKE MONEY ONLINE because those keywords are hard to hit and you probably have 1 chance out of Billion to become no.1 source for that keyword.
Instead use use keywords that are similar and with 20 keywords like that you will achieve same thing as with “Make Money Online”.
What else?
Don’t forget to download All in One SEO Pack plugin for wordpress. If you are using blogger , make sure that you strip-out unneeded code. Have somebody help you!

You will often find yourself facing the choice of whether to pay a fixed price or keep on bidding. This choice might be presented to you in a single auction, or you might be choosing between different auctions of the different types. So should you use that ‘Buy it Now’ button or keep on trying to outbid everyone else? It’s all a question of weighing up the advantages and disadvantages.
Buy it Now.
- The Advantages.
When you use Buy it Now, you know the asking price and you can take some time to decide whether to pay it or not - you can even negotiate. You don’t need to keeping your eye on the auction, or get caught up in the last-minute bidding frenzy that is now inevitable on any popular item. Not only that, but the seller will be happy to get a fixed price for their item, and they’re likely to nicer to you than usual. Some sellers can be a little resentful when they feel that you got a little too much of a bargain on their item.
- The Disadvantages.
You will almost certainly pay more for the item, especially with more expensive items. Also, it takes some of the fun out of eBay. Aren’t you there for an auction, after all? If you want to pay a fixed price then there are thousands of online stores you could be visiting. It’s like pressing ‘collect’ instead of ‘gamble’ on a fruit machine: it’s the boring option. But then, maybe that’s what you want.
These rules are relatively constant: there are few times when using Buy it Now would allow you to get something cheaper, or when bidding would be an easier way to do it. In the end, as with so many things in life, it’s a simple question of price vs. convenience, and it’s up to you.
There are those times, though, when the strategic use of the Buy it Now button can be a useful tool to help you outwit your competition. If the current bid is almost as high as the Buy it Now price, then why bid higher and keep the contest going? Clicking that button is a no-brainer. The same goes for times when a seller has, for some reason, set the Buy it Now price only slightly higher than their starting price for bids. Why bother to go through all the hassle of bidding?
You might also find that there are times when you should leave the Buy it Now button as a last resort: it can be a useful way of ending last-minute contests with a decisive ‘this is mine’ gesture.
In fact, there are all sorts of tricks you can use on eBay, if you want to get ahead of the game. Remember that most buyers on eBay are casual, and don’t know what they’re doing: a little knowledge can go a long way in getting you an advantage. Our next email will have a few tips and tricks for you.
If you have looked around the web ever for information on “making money online” I’m sure you have come across a “how-to” article or two…Well, this is a bit different, it’s more of a “what to do”. The “how” can be outsourced. The “how” doesn’t even have to be a factor.
The majority of the stuff I’ll be laying out here are all the puzzle pieces put together to make money online with a niche blog (at least how I see them).
I’ve been on the Internet researching how to make money online for 157,000 years now. I have read my fair share of how-to’s! So…I can honestly say that I “know how”, especially the technical aspect of things. Also, lately I’ve been learning a lot about selling web sites and blogs. I haven’t sold any yet but I have learned some very valuable information…particularly “what factors make a web site valuable”. This in turn helped me realize what areas of a niche blog can (and should) be the main focus and which ones can truthfully be ignored. You don’t have to “know everything” to be successful at making money online with a niche blog.
Anyway…of all the factors that determine the value of a blog, two are up there as the most important (again, as far as I see it). These 2 things are content and back links. Quality content will bring people to your blog and regardless of your goal with the blog, that is important. Quality back links will improve practically every other factor that determines the value of your blog.
A Broad View Of What To Do To Make Money Online With A Niche Blog
If your goal online is to make money online with a niche blog you now know the basics. Let me get more specific with each step.
Pick A Niche
Simply pick a niche that you’re passionate about. I heard earlier on John Cow TV something like: If you had the opportunity to write for any magazine in the world what would the topic be? Basically, it would something that you are most passionate about and something that you can write about without much thought. Your words will flow and your passion will show. You don’t have to sell with your words, just have a conversation.
Write Content That Works For Itself
If you put in the extra time to write content that works for itself you will be building back links and all of the other important stuff all at the same time. Here’s where a bit of knowledge comes in but I will tell you what to do….the how is another thing.
Write a post targeted to a long tail keyword phrase on your topic. Researching what keywords to use will give you topics to discuss…stuff people are already looking for. You will want a phrase that has high searches and weak SEO competition. Not necessarily low numbers of competition but phrases where the competition are weak in the SEO aspects….for example…the page ranks of the competitions back links, the number of back links, etc. You can get yourself a handful of these and go to town writing.
There are different theories on how to write the post but here is a generally consistent suggestion:
That’s almost it…but there is one more key part. But first I want to say that I realize the above is going to be a pain in the butt to do when you are trying to write freely and passionately about a topic. You’re right but there’s a solution. You should understand the importance of doing the above though. It, and the next bit I will discuss, could prevent you from having to do all of the other promotional tactics for your blog. The extra effort put in could potentially save you lots of the other promo stuff, like I said, and keep your content rolling. Besides, the number of posts on your blog, strongly dictates the overall value of the blog.
OK, how to write freely and passionately but still write with “internet intelligence”: pick your keyword and write your post like you normally would without restrictions. When you are complete, go through and see where you can interchange or add words that are close to, synonymous with or exactly the same as…your targeted keyword. We good?
OK, how to get some sweet quality back links and making your content do the work. In general, when you link to another blog post from yours you will get a ping back. At the end of every post, to get these ping backs (that will in most cases have your targeted keyword in the anchor text), create a “Related Info:” section and drop in an unordered list with titles and summaries to other blog posts around the blogosphere that already rank for your targeted keyword. Pick one’s with high PR, lots of back links and that offer dofollow ping backs. Now, your links to them (the titles of their posts) do not have to be dofollow. And for extra juice, in some cases your links to them will have your targeted keyword in the anchor text and/or the summary (which is a good thing). Do the same with pages that rank for a similar keyword. Maybe come up with 5-10 related articles. Remember to find blogs with high PR and a large number of back links.
Now you are building keyword rich, quality content and getting some quality back links with keyword rich anchor text by allowing your content to work for YOU.
Monetize Your Blog
There are plenty of ways to monetize a blog and I will go over a few here. A lot of people don’t want to actively sell but would much rather passively sell. Well, that’s the beauty of the old niche blog-meister!
You can do any or all of the following:
There are many more ways but those will work just fine.
Stay Consistent
One thing that John Chow will suggest is to be consistent with your posting habits. Post at the same frequency. You can write as much as you want and schedule posts to go out whenever you like. And, take it from Garry Conn, you can make 164,000 posts in one day if you want! There is value in quality, quantity and consistency.
Well, there you have it…if you are passionate about something, anything, and everyone is, then you have found your niche. If you can type then you can write content. You’ll need to spend a few bucks and learn the basics of a few tools but it’s really not that hard. And believe it or not, this stuff makes loot online.
Now, to easily, and I mean painfully easily get the information needed to make your content work for you (great keywords and quality ping backs), you can use Market Samurai. It will gather the necessary data for you in no time flat. Spend some time with it before every post and you will be making money online with a niche blog in no time.
Technically Speaking, Can You Do It?
For a lot of people the technical part of it is the hurdle. If that’s the case and you are excited about the rest, stick around, I’ll be posting a lot more about how I can help do the technical stuff for you. And a lot of times without too much out of pocket for you.
This is something that I did before and it went very well. The problem was, I was building my own business at the same time. Right now, I’m in a position where I have the time to help.
Financially Speaking, Can you Do It?
Over the next little while, I will be discussing the tools that I feel you absolutely need to make this happen (there are very few). You will then know how much money that you need to spend to get started. If you do not have the money, I will explain ways that you can get it! 9 times out of 10 you have a talent that someone is willing to pay for online. Heck, I might even be in a position that I can use your services.
If you want to jump start making money online with a niche blog you can contact me by email and tell me what you need and I’ll do what I can to help out.
