1. Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising Programs

PPC advertising programs are the best money making programs for most of the bloggers. They are suitable to all kind of blogs with family-friendly content regardless of their traffic level and age. PPC programs work well on blog because they display contextual ads that are highly relevant to blogs content and bloggers will earn anywhere between 10 cents to 50 cents for each contextual ads click by their visitors. With proper PPC ads optimization and consistent amount of traffic, a blogger can earn a steady amount of money displaying PPC ads on his/her blog. Google AdSense is no doubt, the undisputed king of PPC advertising programs and Yahoo Publisher Network is the closest alternative of AdSense.

2. Cost-Per-Action (CPA) Advertising Programs

CPA programs is quite similar to PPC programs except CPA programs don’t pay bloggers for each click on the CPA ads hosted by bloggers. The blogger only makes money when the visitor takes an action on the CPA advertiser website. The action can be a sign up, making a purchase, generating a lead, downloading a product and more. CPA networks pay a lot more than PPC programs, for a visitor sent by the blogger from his/her blog to a CPA advertiser website and the visitor taken an action on the advertiser site, the blogger can earn few dollar to fifty dollar depend on the niche. But CPA ads tend to work well on large traffic blogs only. AzoogleAds.com, Commission Junction and Advertising.com are some of the largest CPA networks.

Log into my Google Analytics account and my server to review my stats, daily. I look at several things to help me focus my attention on getting high quality traffic. To determine, I look at how many visitors the sources send me, the percentage of new visitors, the page views and the bounce rate.

The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors that visit your site then immediately leave.

Anything with a bounce rate of 50% or higher should be a source you should not waste time on. Focus your effort on Google and other sources that have a low bounce rate and a high percentage of new visitors that stay on your site.

Here are a list of sites that send me alot of traffic, but have very high bounce rates.

Automated the SEO process completely? Nah, that for sure is impossible. Some says it’s evil using the tools, and it’s recently became a heated discussion over here if SEOs need to use tools at all. Here’re the points:

• tools lower the quality of SEO performed (as manual labor is always better than any automation).

Heard about the DoFollow movement yet? The one which was a quiet movement and nowadays became a full-blown revolution. Yes, that one. Joined yet? You should.
Just got invited by a friend who’ve joined earlier to this DoFollow Revolution.

NoFollow Situation

It’s all begin as an action answering the nofollow situation. Wordpress, other blogging software and most of blog provider adds the “rel=nofollow” attribute to all links in comments. That’s by default. The intentions are good - to prevent nasty spammers from leaving spammy comments.

However, it doesn’t stop comment spam in any sense really, and besides, with good moderation and effective use of plugins like Askimet, spam can be controlled reasonably well anyway.

Loren Baker have write a great article about 13 Reasons Why NoFollow Tags Suck, which give us a clear point of view about how this nofollow attribute did.

And guess what, even Wordpress founder Matt Mullenweg says NoFollow was a failure;

“In theory this should work perfectly, but in practice although all major blogging tools did this two years ago and comment and trackback spam is still 100 times worse now. In hindsight, I don’t think nofollow had much of an effect, though I’m still glad we tried it.”
