Affiliate marketing on Internet

Affiliate marketing is quite simple. An Internet business owner partners with one of more affiliates. These partners then send website visitors (sales) to the website and are paid for doing so. This system is typically managed by a third party who ensures that contractual obligations are met, payment is made and that the process is seamless. Affiliate marketing websites typically offer a vast array of products and services for an interested party to consider. For example, if you were interested in becoming an affiliate, you would visit one or more of the popular third party sites and select a product to represent. You can choose almost anything from diet pills to electronics or jewelry. You would then develop a website of your own and a marketing program and send visitors to your partner’s website. Depending on the contract you will be paid in one of three ways:


  1. Pay Per Click: Under this plan, you will receive payment each time a visitor from your site clicks through to your partner’s site. The amount you are paid for each action is typically the lowest under the scheme – however many affiliates choose this plan because they only have to send traffic to their partner – nothing more
  2. Pay Per Lead: A slightly more involved process, you will receive payment if you send a visitor to your partners site and they perform a designated action. Typically the visitor will need to fill out a form or opt-in to a particular program
  3. Pay Per Sale: The most difficult, but most rewarding of the Affiliate Marketing Programs is pay per sale. As you might expect, you will only receive payment if you send a visitor to your partner’s site who converts into a sale.
There is one potential downfall of the affiliate marketing program: its reputation. Unfortunately, some affiliates have chosen to use tactics like spam mail and bots to promote their partner. In fact, this is the leading cause of spam mail throughout the world. Some consumers dislike this so much that they actively avoid purchasing products through a perceived affiliate program.

Earn Money by writing Articles on Triond

Are you good at writing, love writing and spend most of your time writing, Triond is a good platform for you to publish your work and at the same time, earn royalties from Triond.
How to Begin?

Of course you will need to register before you can publish your work.
Once you have registered, click on “submit” to add your writing. Once you have added your work, you will have to wait until it is approved to be published.
Triond cares about grammar and quality so make sure your articles are error free and beneficial to others.
You can use the built-in spell checker to make sure there is no spelling error in your articles.
However, articles are not the only content they accept.
They also accept video, audio and images.
Type of Articles To Submit

Basically Triond accepts all sorts of articles from personal experiences to poetry and even short stories. Since I have written a few short stories and poetry in the past, I published on Triond to earn a passive income every month.
To get better page views, you should write something that is popular, something that everyone wants to read and something that is educational.
For example, money making, movie reviews and Top 10 lists are very popular. People love to read these type of articles.
Apart from these, I have found that people love to read about game guides as well. I have written a guide on Mafia Wars and that is the one page that got the most page views.
However, in the end it depends on your creativity.
How to Calculate the Earnings?
According to Triond,
Earnings = page views * eRPM / 1000
To get better explanation, check this page.
Apart from page views, you should also pay attention to these criteria to make sure you earn more money:
  • the quality of the content
  • its use of language
  • keywords
  • the topic popularity
  • the content media type
Minimum Payment?
To get paid by PayPal, the minimum amount is $0.50.
To get paid by Western Union, the minimum amount is $50.00.
Payment will be made on 15th every month.
Therefore, I prefer to get paid by PayPal.
How to Promote Your Articles?
Once your articles are published on Triond, the next step is to spread a word about your articles so that people would read your articles.
The best way is to promote using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. You can set your Twitter account in Triond so that Triond will automatically tweet your latest published articles to your Twitter account.
Is Triond a Scam?
There are way too many scam programs out there and therefore, we should all beware when we come across any money making site but Triond is for real.
Writers really get paid every month, as long as the earnings reach the minimum payment at the end of each month. Otherwise, the earnings will be roll over to the next month.
If you are new on Triond, you won’t be making hundreds or thousands for the first time. In fact, you might be shocked to learn that you are getting a few cents for the first month.
I started earning a few cents in the beginning before it increased to $0.78. My highest earning so far? $1.62 for the month of July.
Although it is just a dollar, imagine what a dollar can be in the next few months.
The Key Towards Earning More Money on Triond?
Submit as many articles (or content) as possible.
Of course you won’t be able to submit hundreds at a time (unless if you have the super power to create hundreds of content at a time), but take it one step at a time.
You can submit an article a day for five days a week, and you will have 20 articles in a month.
Make sure the content is of high quality so that the search engine will be able to redirect more traffic to your articles on Triond.
Conclusion
Give it a try. Triond is very addictive. It is not only a platform to make money but also for networking.

How to make money by writing Articles on Hubpages

Hubpages is a website where you can write about whatever you want and earn money for your efforts. This is the one line explanation of the site, but there is quite a bit more to it.
How to Make Money with Hubpages.
First, you have to sign up. If you haven’t yet, sign up here. Then come back here and read the rest of this two part article–I promise it will help you.
The way you earn money on hubpages is through the Google Adsense program and affiliate links through eBay and Amazon. You can also earn with an advertising network called Kontera, but don’t worry about it for now because it really doesn’t pay that well. If you are a savvy internet marketer, you can also make money on Hubpages with your own affiliate links to third party websites.
You split revenue with Hubpages 60/40 in your favor. The way this works is 6 times out of 10 your ID is used in the advertisements, which means you will earn on a click or sale made during this time. The other 4 times Hubpages has the potential to earn money for an action taken. People sometimes think that the total revenue is just split 60/40, but that’s not the case. Your ID is used randomly 6 times out of 10. It is a generous pay structure and there are quite a few people making good money at Hubpages.
Hubpages is a great place to start writing online, and even making money online. I mentioned earlier that you want to use keywords in your articles in order to be competitive and gain traffic to your work—because that’s what you need to do if you want to make any money. The way you do this is imagine what someone would type into a search engine in order to find the information you are providing.
If you were going to write about “making money online by writing,” then that phrase could be the keyword phrase you would want to use in your article. The next thing you want to consider is how competitive a term is. You can do this by using the Google Keyword Tool at this URL – https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
This tool will show you how many times your keyword has been searched in the past month and will give you a monthly average. It will also give you ideas of related terms that may be better options for you to use because they’re less competitive. It may sound a little confusing at the beginning, but you will get the hang of it after you do keyword research a few times. You also want to look at the price paid per click, which will give you a good idea on how much money ads that will display will be worth. The figure shown is not the total that you will earn because Google keeps some of the money, but you can easily see which terms are “worth” more and which ones are worth less.
My next article will go into more depth about choosing keywords for your internet writing. But for now, write down or copy and paste two or three sets of terms and how often they are searched and what they are worth. Now, you can type the keyword phrase into Google to see how many pages pop up. This is not an exact science but it will give an idea of how much content on the internet uses the term you are searching. If 100,000,000 pages come up, there are a lot of pages about what you are planning to write about, so it may be a lot more difficult to compete and get to the top of the search engines with your page. However, if only 250,000 pages come up, you have found a niche in which you can compete and may possibly be able to “own” by getting your page to the top. This is how you make good money in internet marketing with content and Google Adsense.
If you have a specialized skillset (and we all have at least one) I highly recommend you start creating content based on it on the internet. I notice that I sometimes get a few visitors to this site who are looking for ways to make money while unemployed. Hubpages is one such way. Start writing content about your expertise. I don’t care if it’s plumbing, roofing, gardening, or investing. If you can create content that is useful to people and valuable in some way, you will be able to make money.
Sign up for Hubpages and start writing and earning today.

Best Free Website Services

With the increasing of online community free site providers are also incresing rapidy. You can easily create a free website and run without any hesitation as long as you want. These are some best free website providers
According to my Experience Blogger and Weebly are good.

How To Become Expert in Blogging

Sometime new comers in blogging fail to generate and maintain an excellent blog. What may have started out as you expressing an opinion has grown into a network of folks. Men and women that are looking to you for info and inspiration. So what are you going to do? Throw that laptop into the pond and run for Montana? Fear not, here are some simple to don't forget tips that can not just help you produce an incredible blog consistently, but will also make it simpler for you to do.
Organization is key when creating any kind of internet content consistently. Should you don't know where every little thing is, chances are you will miss something essential. Produce a work region, and maintain all of your materials there. Attempt to pick someplace that's just a little off the traveled path of the household. In case you are distracted chances are you may miss something important. Becoming ready ahead of time will save you loads of grief later.
Pick a schedule and stick to it. If you are going to post blogs on the net, make certain you do not overextend your self. Preparing for, writing and maintaining a weblog calls for plenty of function from time to time.
It can be extremely frustrating and exhausting. Try to prepare for the unexpected. Write a couple of blog posts ahead of yourself, so if something comes up and you cannot make it to the laptop or computer at least they are still there for your readers. There is software program you'll be able to use to post your blogs on a schedule.
Stay on topic. If you have a group of people with similar interests all reading your blog, chances are they want to hear about the points that interest them. Try not to ramble off into personal recollections unless this is that type of blog. If you are going to write about a particular topic, ensure you know your stuff. Nothing is worse than having to remove a post because you were dead wrong. And maintain it straightforward. Attempt to phrase things in words everybody can comprehend. Do not use abbreviations or acronyms unless this is that type of weblog. Chances are someone won't know what that means.
RSS Feed is an essential to utilize in case you need to expand your readership. Be sure to look into or subscribe to 1 of these feeds to be able to reach a wider audience. RSS Feed focuses scattered groups of interest and brings them together which will slowly but surely expand your readership.
Take the time to look over your function just before you post. It only takes a minute to run a spell checker. It looks a lot more professional as a entire, if the function is all written correctly. Men and women aren't going to desire to hear your opinion on a topic, if they do not think you know what you might be doing. One typo can destroy years of expertise and credibility. Search for those errors, because should you don't find them rest assured an individual else will. It by no means hurts to be too careful.

Top Most Important 5 SEO Skills


1. Copywriting – While this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, what is suprising is how little value can sometimes be placed on it by both SEO firms, and clients. If you're sourcing an SEO vendor, ask them if they have a copywriter on staff. If the answer is no, move on.

2. Keyword Analysis  – There are myriad free and paid keyword tools on the marketplace but the long and short of it is that the tool brings little or no value unless in capable hands. And the most capable hands would be those of a copywriter (see above) who understands the underlying content and creation strategy and the objectives each step of the way.

3. Marketing Strategy  – There are thought to be 4 P's in marketing. Product. Price. Placement. And Promotion. There are actually 5. People. Too often SEO company's get caught up in creating for the search engines, and interactive agencies get caught up in creating for the accolades. The fifth and forgotten P is by far the most import. People.
4. Web Analytics – Web analytics are much like user ratings they are the vox populi, the voice of the people presented in pie chart and bar graphic format. But they are much more than that. They tell you what's working and what's not working at all points throughout the customer engagement cycle. Whether for paid for for organic, web analytics present nothing but opportunity. Web analytics have long been in the doman of the skilled SEO consultant or company and should be among the first questions asked from the vendor position. And if a client is not prepared to share analytics reporting, that's when the vendor should pass.
5. Traditional Link Building – Linking building is a vital role but seemingly a lot less important than many other elements, and now identified as such by those in the industry. Natural link building is a mainstay of SEO and a name change will keep it front and center as an important element in any SEO arsenal. That name change: Influencer Outreach or Vertical or Niche Marketing.
Of 16 skills queried, these were the top five. Patience and diplomacy did not make the list and I have to wonder how they would have ranked?
Have a good one.

What Career should you choose?

Have you turned 16? It is an important phase of your life. This is the time when you decide which field to choose as your career. Many students are unaware of their strengths and just follow the trends and what others are preferring.
Take the example of current trend.
IT and computers is the hottest career choice for students at the moment. Students are getting into this field without taking into consideration their strengths and interest.
They are just following the others and hoping that this will be rewarding for them.
The result?? Disaster for quite a few and for those who manage to complete the course: they still do not have the passion in it: resulting in a lack of job satisfaction.
You should give a considerable time in identifying your strengths and interests and then make the decision. It may be that you are very good at mathematics so you can choose to do masters leading to P. Hd and join the field of research and teaching.
This would not only give you job satisfaction but you would be able to excel in your field. Otherwise if you choose to do what others prefer, you will end up in doing a 9-5 job with no job satisfaction.
You would not be able to stick to a job and will regularly change them in order to find one that satisfies you: but will never be able to find it as it is not the matter of the job, it’s the field that is not meant for you so even if you change a company, you will still do the same nature of work.
Parents have an important role to play in this and should not force their children to choose a career without taking into consideration their children’s skills and interests. Many parents have a desire that their child become a doctor.
It may be the case that their child is interest in the field of drama or any other form of art. Now if parents force the child to choose the field of medicine, how would it be possible for their child to advance in a field which is exactly the opposite of his or her interests and strengths?
So parents should play the role of a mentor and evaluate the strengths and interests of the child and then encourage them to choose a career where they can work on their strengths.
One last thing: if a person wants to be an entrepreneur and if he/she wants to earn money online, then this is very much possible these days. Making money online is considered to be a separate career these days and if a person wants to choose this field, then he/she should first do some research on the internet to see if he/she really can work online.
Just choose the career in which you have your interests: whether it’s doing jobs on the internet at home or becoming a doctor/Engineer/scientist/ etc

Skills Need for Copyrighting Jobs

Working at freelance site is one of newest ways to make money online. Copywriting is one of the many jobs that are available at freelance sites. If you are serious about making money online, then I suggest you work on your English writing skills.
No matter what method you choose, writing good English is always beneficial. So the first skill to learn is Copywriting.
Copywriting Tips:
If you want to learn more about copywriting, then these tips may help:
1. First of all, remember that you can do copywriting jobs no matter what your First Language is. If your First language is Hindi or Urdu etc, you can still write excellent content.
2. However, if you cannot write simple English [that is writing English with no spelling mistakes and with little bit of grammar errors] then before you can do copywriting jobs, I suggest you first learn the Basics. This will however take quit some time.
If you do little bit of grammar mistakes, then you may do copywriting work. After you write content, I suggest you read it one or two times to correct any grammar errors that you may find.
If you decide to do copywriting jobs at freelance sites, then on many occasions, you will have to search for information about topics on the internet (the topics on which you will have to write articles). As you will read and write lot of content in English, your writing skills will surely improve.
3. Freelance sites are the best place to get online jobs. People who want to earn money online via doing copywriting jobs mainly use freelance sites to get work. Freelance sites provide the perfect place for people to find lot of work and thus earn lot of money.
I see many new comers in the copywriting business to struggle in writing simple content. Actually there are few things that one just remember to avoid difficulties in writing articles.
First of all, I suggest you never do re-writing job. This is one of the most important things to remember as doing re-writing jobs is a real pain.
People usually pay $1 to $2 for rewriting a 500 words article.
In reality, paying double the amount for writing a original 500 words article should be the price for re-writing a already written article. It is because if you re-write an article, it will cost you double the time and effect that you would spend on writing a new article.
So my suggestion is to keep away from re-writing jobs.
Secondly, new comers very soon realize that writing articles on the same topic or for some given keywords, [2-3 words], is just not possible and they just quit copywriting work.
The main thing here for everyone is to remember that when ever you are given a topic or a keyword that is required to be used in the article 4-5 times Does not means that you have to write content purely on that particular topic or keyword.
That is: You only have to write general information about the topic and you only have to use some of the words [from the given Keyword] anywhere in the article:
Don’t worry about writing content on specific keywords: just write general/useful information on the given topic

Truth and Secrets of PTC Sites

On 23nd June 2010 I stumbled into the world of PTC (Paid to Click) World. I signed up to some sites to see how this works. From one site to other, as I joined I come to know about innumerable sites. Well, I was a bit doubtful yet wanted to try it out. I joined around 20 sites but now I use only 8 sites! Along the way I come to know a lot about the PTC world. And I would like to share it with you all as I want to give some genuine information to those newbies who stumble upon PTC world or any other online earning program.

How a PTC works?

A PTC site works as a medium through which Advertisers and potential customers can meet each other. It helps advertisers to reach customers and gives customers an opportunity to access the advertisement and earn some money too!

The Problem

The problem lies in the prices charged for Advertisers and prices paid to the Clickers. Advertisers won’t be ready to pay more and clickers won’t be ready to accept less! As the number of members increases sites start having problems. A site being down due to bandwidth problem or server problem is also a recurring and common problem with PTC sites.

Referral Program

Sites offer referral earnings to the existing members to increase their member base and activity. But as the member base increases the sites get into problem as they must attract advertisers otherwise they won’t be able to pay properly. If the sites don’t have a good profit margin they can’t pay referral earnings to all the members.

Premium Membership

Most of the sites earn by offering Premium Membership to their members. It is one of the major sources of income for the PTC sites.

The risk of losing Money and wasting Time

The risk is that it can go bankrupt anytime! The site might get into serious financial problems and close down suddenly or sell the site to somebody if they get a good offer etc.

So you have the risk of losing Money if you upgrade to Premium Membership. If you don’t upgrade then also you have the risk of wasting your invaluable time.

Lack of Professionalism of Site owners and Management

Most owners of the PTC sites are in the business only for money making and no serious goal. And most of them are not so mature in ‘Financial Management’ so it is quite easy to understand that they are not good at using the funds effectively.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the major problem with PTC sites. They do fine in the beginning and then get into deeper problems. That is also one of the reasons for some sites turning into scams.

Scams

It is observed that 95% or more PTC sites are scams! Very scary statistics for a new user as it is very difficult to choose a genuine PTC site. But one can save from being a victim of scams by following some simple points.

I would like to suggest a few points to avoid being a victim of scams though they are no guarantee:

1. Avoid spending money on any PTC site unless you are very sure of that site

2. Avoid spending a lot of time on PTC sites

3. Do the research properly before joining any PTC site

4. Join forums and discussion sites to see what the existing members are saying about a particular site

5. Check out the site you have joined by visiting the site’s forum and the functioning of the forum. Many PTC forums are controlled by administrators and if somebody makes a negative remark they don’t publish it. Be wary of such forums.

6. Never ever get excited by any enticing opportunity

7. Never do something unless you are very sure of what you are doing

8. Remember that your first goal is to find a reliable site and that reduces your half the risk!

9. Always be alert and interact with the members through any platform that is convenient to you.

10. Lastly, don’t give much importance to PTC sites!


Is joining a PTC worth the time?

It is up to you to decide. It depends on a lot of factors. There are some genuine and honest PTC sites like Neobux but you have to find them! You have to just check “Am I going to get a good return?” If your answer is “YES” then you can join. Otherwise you better find other ways of earning money.

I hope this information helps anyone who is new to the PTC world or don’t know much about the PTC sites and contemplating whether to join or not.  Start Now

Alertpay – Paypal Alternative for Pakistanis

I’ve been using Paypal account for more than 4 years.  It is really surprising that Paypal works in India but no realistic support for Pakistan which is creating problems for the Pakistani traders online. Most of the online buying and selling websites accept Paypal or Credit Card. Credit Card is not affordable by everyone in Pakistan and Paypal doesn’t have the service for us.
I’ve illegal account with Paypal which I use for online money transactions.  It is quite risky because Paypal can block my account at any time. I verified my account with Virtual Credit Card (VCC). I don’t recommend my country fellows to use Paypal because finally, Pakistanis got the alternative of Paypal.
Alertpay.com, the latest money processor company, is the new alternative of Paypal. Alertpay do support Pakistan. Moreover, verification in Alertpay doesn`t need any Credit Card, Bank Account etc. You just need to send them some documents through email for the verification of your identity and your address and you’ll be verified in no time.
I came to know about Alertpay when I started to join PTCs. I sent them the scan copies of my CNIC and my phone bill and I became verified in just 12 days.
The best thing I love about Alertpay is their support system. They reply to your inquiry quickly and always look to sort out the problems.
There are different methods of adding funds in Alertpay e.g. Bank wire, bank transfer, Check and Money Order.  Another great thing about Alertpay is that you can withdraw your cash from your account easily and Alertpay will send a check on your address. Currently, Pakistanis can withdraw their money using this method only. Once I made a contact with Alertpay Staff and they replied that more withdrawal methods for Pakistan will be available very soon.
Alertpay is popular globally and after it hit the PTC market, it has been started to accept by many big websites. What so ever, Pakistanis at last got something better for e-business. Though Moneybooker,2CO Checkout etc are available for Pakistanis, but I personally recommend Alertpay to my country fellows.

Earn Money with CO.CC

CO.CC also provides you the facility to earn money online with them. You get paid for referring members to CO.CC. You earn for each domain name that your referred members registers.  I’ve been paid by 12 times by CO.CC, $23.6 worth of money. They pay with Paypal. Do not try to cheat them by referring yourself. They can catch you easily.

CO.CC – Free Domain

I’ve seen people looking for free domain names for their websites. I remembered when I was new to web development; I did the same thing searching Google for hours, looking for the free domain names registration websites. People think that they can get free top level domain names i.e. com, net, org etc. But the websites offering such top level domain names for free also ask something in return.
I believe some of you still don’t have the domain names or sub domains. Therefore, I’m here to discuss a free domain name registration website with you . Yes, you heard it right;  provides free domain name registration with free DNS service.

I usually start my small web development projects with CO.CC and move them to top level domain extensions after getting popularity. There are plenty of websites offering free domain names registration but CO.CC is recommended because first, they’re the only free domain names provider which has good reputation in the internet industry; second, they provides the free DNS service with every domain name. You’re allowed to register 3 domain names with each account. If you don’t want to use DNS service, then the domain forwarding service is also available.

Direct Selling and Multi Level Marketing

Direct selling often uses multi level marketing method. This is to encourage development of the business by providing over riding to existing member when the business is being introduced to others.


By doing this, existing member will be able to benefit from new members whom they brought in to the business. This is greatly improve the growth of membership and product sales of the company.


Many new companies are operating this way. Which one should we choose? To name a few establised company such as Skyaims. More Detail

Google Ranking Factors

No one claims to know each and everything as how Google Rank a website or page. However with experience of ranking several domains/pages for several keywords on first page or on top position, one can list out critical factors that must be kept in mind for a higher search engine ranking. I have divided such ranking factors into three categories: Must Have, Should Have and Nice to have Ranking Factors.
Here are these Google Ranking Factors as per my experience,
Must Have Ranking Factors

  1. Keyword must be in the Title of Page
  2. Keyword must be in the Headings (h1, h2, h3) in the page.
  3. Keyword should be in Meta Tags (Keywords and Description)
  4. Variation of Keyword must be present on the same page (related words)
  5. The Keyword Density (frequency of keyword) should be around 2% of total word count.
  6. Contents must be of related to keyword and high quality.
  7. Back Links from higher PR domains with anchor text as this Keyword.
  8. Page Rank of your Home Page should be 3+. And your page’s link should be on your home page.
  9. If someone finds you in google search, he/she should be satisfied with your contents. That means he/she should not search same term again on google at least within next one hour.
  10. Contents must not be Duplicating or found major portion on some other website.
Should Have Ranking Factors
  1. Keyword should be in URL of website
  2. Keyword should be in Domain Name
  3. Keyword should be in first paragraph.
  4. If images are used in that page, ALT tag should contain this keyword.
  5. At least 10 back links from good PR websites with this keyword as anchor text.
  6. Age of Domain should be more than 1 year
  7. Location and Server should be in the area where majority of your target users live. If you are targeting USA visitors, make sure your domain should be hosted in USA server.
  8. Keyword should be closely related to your domain’s primary purpose.
  9. Domain TLD should be .com/.net/.org.
Nice to Have Ranking Factors
  1. Use Keyword in your page in all formats (bold, italic, underline, colored etc)
  2. Link other pages of your site with this page based upon relevancy. Similarly place this page’s link (with keyword as anchor text) on other related pages of same site.
  3. Update your website regularly
  4. Get back links from sites like DMOZ and Yahoo Directory
  5. Reduce Outgoing links as much as you can.

Web Site Promotion

Promoting your website is the key in earning money. Good promotion means good amount of traffic and traffic is money for you.
Here are basic 5 ways to promote your website no matter what kind of a website you run.
  1. Social Bookmarking
  2. Forum Posting
  3. Blog Posting
  4. Directory Submission
  5. Link Exchange
There are many bookmarking services like del.icio.us, stumbleupon.com, foldk.com etc. People bookmark their favorite sites to make them available to them no matter where ever they are. Similarly, people also like to search through bookmarks of others as they  feel it valuable. Hence bookmarking your website (maximum pages) can result in good and quality traffic coming to your site.
Forum Posting is a way by which webmasters sign up on forums related to their website niche and then participate in discussions while leaving their website’s signature in the footer of their message. It is important that one should use appropriate keyword as anchor text for such footers so that it should not only attract its reader but also become useful in improving search engine rankings. Usually forums allow up to 3 signature links in your forum posts. However several forums don’t allow even one. So be careful and choose only those forums where they allow signatures.

Blog Posting
is very useful if you do run your own blog. Go and search about blogs related to your blog and then read posts to submit your comments on that with a link to your website. Usually blog comments are  submitted with a link back to your site. Moreover, you can also refer to a particular post URL of your blog in the comment message if it is related to the post your are commenting on. This will direct more visitors to your site. Blog Posts can also help improve your search engine ranking. However
Google only counts Do Follow blog comments. So be careful while posting.
Directory Submission is an old but still useful way of promoting a new website. There are thousands of website directories available on internet that allows you free or paid listing. Initially, you can only focus on free directories but later on as you grow, you can purchase listing in good quality directories such as yahoo directory.
Link Exchange is a bit technical stuff for webmasters. In this way, website owner search related websites and then drop them an email to see if they are interested in link exchange. A two way link exchange give equal benefits to both parties. However there are also more advanced techniques such as Tree-Way link exchanges that give the benefits of one way links. Moreover, some sites also sell one way links on per month or year basis. However google dislike link trade. So better to avoid it.

Inline Ads: Infolinks

* InfoLinks: In-Text Advertising Network, great for generating additional revenue source without compromising on your ad space and they also are know for high revenue share with publishers.
~ Inline advertising is also provided by Ad Networks like Adbrite, Clicksor & Kontera

Adsense Alternatives - Website Monetization Programs

Adbrite: Practically the best Adsense Alternative in term of contextual ads. They have additional ad formats that are good paying and can also be used to compliment your Adsense Ads; inline text ads and full page ads. Payment are only made by checks but the one good thing is that they are very accommodating even towards smaller publishers. So if you have been rejected by other Ad Networks due to lesser traffic, Adbrite might just be the best thing available for you and your sites.
 Bidvertiser: Display the BidVertiser text ads on your website or blog, get paid for every click and have the payments sent directly to your PayPal account. However, the ad pool seems a little limited.
 Clicksor: One has many ad options available from Clicksor. They also offer high paying pop-up ads and full page ads. Very prompt with their payment and they make payment every 15 days via Paypal. However, they do have some joining restrictions with a 5,000 page views per day or 150000 page views per month requirement.
 Yahoo YPN: Should have been the best Adsense Alternative by now, but they are either not reviewing applications or take forever to respond. We are adding it to the list as the few people who we know and got approved have given good feedback in term of ad portfolio and payment.

Get Paypal Acount in Pakistan

Paypal is the the largest online payment Proccessor. People are worried because, “ Paypal not support Pakistan?”. Stop worry. I am using Paypal account since 2009. No problem so far and I hope Insha Allah everything goes well with my account.. In this post, I’ll tell you about using Paypal in Pakistan.
First Step
Go to www.paypal.com and register the account. Follow the following guidelines during registration process.
- Choose Account Type “Premier” (You can also upgrade to Business later on).
- When you’re about to select a country, then do not choose any Asian country. I’ll suggest you to go with Cyprus it is default selected.
-If you’re a webmaster and use to send and receive money online then, I’ll suggest to use your real name.
- Don’t include your real address in the field. You can put anything fake like House # 35, Street # 3 etc.
- Use the email address which is always active and you believe that you’ll use it forever. By the way, you’ll still be able to add another email address after registration.
Second Step
Once your account is created, don’t get excited. There are few more things still needed to be done. As you see in your account, your status is shown unverified. This is because Paypal wants accounts to be verified using Bank accounts or Credit Cards numbers. You can not verify it using your Pakistani bank account. I don’t know about the Pakistani Credit Cards, if they work with Paypal or not but it is a strong suggestion not to use it because Paypal will be able to track you with it.
Third Step
This step will look quite difficult to some of my fellows but no need to worry. Once your account is ready, start sending and receiving money. As we’re using illegal Paypal account, therefore, we’ve illegal ways of verifying it. But yo can easily use unverified account upto a limit.The most popular way of verifying Paypal account is using Virtual Credit Card (VCC). I verified my Paypal account with VCC. You can find VCC’s on making money forums. Make sure you find a seller who will not scam you. Google for VCC as well.
VCC usually costs $5-$15. Don’t pay anyone for more than this. Just follow the seller instructions carefully. VCC normally works for 3 days. So make sure you respond quickly to the seller.
Once again, beware of scammers.
Fourth Step
Once your account is verified, you’re free to use worldwide without any limitations. But still there are few things to remember;
- Never contact Paypal about your account
- Once Paypal detects you for cheating, they’ll freeze your account and you’ll loss all your earnings. So never keep high amount in Paypal account. Transfer them to other payment processors e.g. Alertpay etc.
- Never tell the buyer that your account is illegal. He/she can report about your account to Paypal.
Hence, these are the few methods which I tried on my Paypal Account and still using it since 2009. If you find any problem, then don’t hesitate to contact me.


In Pakistan You cannot withdraw money from Paypal but you can invest and buy anything online.

Visual Demands of Computer Work

Often the letters on a computer screen are not as precise or sharply defined, the level of
contrast of the letters to the background is reduced and the presence of glare and
reflections on the screen may make viewing more difficult.
Viewing distances and angles used for computer work are also often different from
those commonly used for other reading or writing tasks. As a result, the eye focusing
and eye movement requirements for computer work can place additional demands on
the visual system. Older workers particularly may find adjusting to these working
requirements difficult.
Eyeglasses or contact lenses prescribed for general use may not be adequate for
computer work.* Specific occupational lenses prescribed to meet the unique demands
of computer work may be needed.
coatings may help to maximize visual abilities and comfort.
receive eye examinations and occupational eyewear have reported improved comfort
and resolution of their symptoms. The quality and efficiency of their work have also
been improved.

Some computer workers may experience problems with eye focusing or eye
coordination that cannot be adequately corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

dysfunctions may be needed.

A preventive approach to reducing visual stress from computer work incorporates the
use of rest or alternate task breaks throughout the workday. Many computer tasks are
repetitive and can become stressful both mentally and physically after an extended
period of continuous work. Occasional rest or alternate task breaks are helpful to
combat fatigue and stress. They provide an opportunity to incorporate different and less
visually demanding tasks into the work regimen. Specific rest or task breaks should be
based on the individual visual needs of the operator.

Orkut- As Facebook Alternative

Okut, from Google, is already heavily popular in places such as Brazil and India, though it has failed to gain traction in the United States. Orkut requires a Gmail Google account, though many people already have one. Like Facebook, Orkut doesn’t does allow profile theme customization but does allow the typical photo sharing and apps. Edit: Thanks for the updated information feen!
Orkut’s privacy controls may be welcome to some, giving users finer control and the ability to block users, report spam, etc. Other networking features aren’t as in-depth as you’ll find with Facebook but it’s a good start.

Facebook- Advantages & Disadvantages

Facebook - a popular name among those who are so into it. Individuals who have an account in Facebook are now using more of their time to socialize with other people amidst the distance and lack of time. And even if a community like Facebook serves numerous advantages, it also proves to have certain disadvantages as well. There are now series of improvements in the system just to make up with the shortcomings. Arguments regarding the different advantages and disadvantages of Facebook are stated below.
Advantages
· Allows user search for new and old friends
· Accessible to chosen universities having a high level of security
· Makes it less awkward when communicating with strangers or people you are not familiar with
· Love attraction - can be used as a dating service system
· Makes it easier to join groups having similar likes and dislikes
· Allows members to check students who are taking the same class, living within the same area, or coming from the same academy
Disadvantages
· Overcrowding
· Weakening long distance relationship
· Unsupported by physical adjacency
· Contributes wide-range procrastination
· Rampant addiction
· Stalking is possible
· Acquaintances be labeled as friends
Surely, the disadvantages don't pose a threat to you just by merely looking at it. Someone else has to prove that what users do with their profile is directly in proportion with what can happen to them. A user must understand what he is trying to give out otherwise things might get messy and people will mistook them as someone else.
It is quite obvious that a trade off is happening between the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook. While it increases the communication and connection between friends and the online community it also increases the risk of procrastination and makes it easier for others to stalk a user. Worse, some are actually punished for what they put on their profile and would claim that it was there only for fun.
Despite the above mentioned advantages and disadvantages of an online networking service, it still is gaining demand and popularity among the young crowd. There are about 10,000 students (professionals and young professionals not yet included) who are joining into Facebook every day. This is regardless of the age, race and country. Some are now trying to criticize the status of professionalism of this site whether it's just another fad like other online networking services are.

MONEYBOOKERS WITHDRAWL PROCESS IN PAKISTAN

I have been using Moneybookers as major payment gateway for almost 2 years now.I am happy with the low fee rates and secured environment of Moneybookers.I withdraw with United Bank.
sometimes it takes less than 3 days for payment to arrive and some times more than 7 days.

Its best available payment gateway in Pakistan.
Moneybookers Allow mastercard Service for Pakistan ?
Answer is “NO” i sent Moneybookers support message few days back regarding this issue and they told me they dont have any such offer for Pakistan at the moment .
Moneybookers at the moment is best available online payment from Odesk, Elance and Microworkers.

Make Money Doing Freelance Work for ODesk

Step 1
First, sign up for a free account with ODesk. Log in to ODesk.com and follow the steps to create an account.
Step 2
Once you have your account established, spend a lot of time on your new profile/resume page. This is the page that prospective "bosses" will be viewing and basing their decision on. You'll want it to be impressive, but quick to read and not too lengthy.
Step 3
I cannot stress the importance of spell check and grammar on this page, ESPECIALLY if you are advertising yourself as a freelance writer or editor. Because if you're worth the money, you'd know to check your own work for mistakes. One error on a resume like that and business professionals will be clicking around elsewhere.
Step 4
Take the ODesk online tests. This is a great way to show prospective business partners what your knowledge is best in, and how well you know your way around a software program. Take your time and do the best you can--your scores will show up on your profile page for the world to see, so study, study, study!
Step 5
Once you've created an eyecatching and professional profile page, upload a picture. Yes, some business owners would rather SEE the person they are outsourcing their work to. Don't use any crazy avatars or animated images that are too distracting--stick with a great picture of you with a happy face. :)
Step 6
Set your rate. On ODesk, you can set your hourly wage. Keep in mind that ODesk takes a percentage of it, so be sure to figure that in. It's always best to start low--remember, you are competing with a lot of people from India that will work for next to nothing, but you will want to emphasize that you are from the US and show that you are worth what they pay. Start cheap to get started--trust me. If you start your pay too high and you don't have any past experience, it will be a while before you get your first job.
Step 7
Apply for jobs. Search through their job listings for your area of interest. Read the descriptions, see the specifications they require, and if you're interested, apply. It will bring you to a page where you send a cover letter with your resume / profile page. This is very important--it is the letter they will first see and decide whether they want to look at your profile page or not. Make it intriguing, but don't sound desperate. Also, be sure to be polite and grammatically correct.
Step 8
Apply for numerous jobs. Some you may get interviews for, some you may never hear from and they expire after 30 days, and some you may be turned down for. DO NOT get discouraged. There are so many job postings, you're bound to find a match somewhere!
Step 9
Yay, you get your first job! Do your best! Be sure to log into ODesk's software (it takes screen shots of your work during hourly wage jobs and guarantees you will be paid for what you do!) and work your heart out. Just like eBay, ODesk has a feedback system. Feedback is important on this site--get it and get it good! I have over 10 positive marks on my account, and I get numerous requests for work because of my "impressive" feedback and history on ODesk. So it will help you in the longrun.
Step 10
Withdraw your profits and smile on the way to the bank--you just had your first online freelancing job. How does it feel? In Pakistan Moneybooker or mastercard are best ways to withdraw money.
Tips and Tricks
* Before getting any of your payments, you will need to fill out and send a 1099 form. Yes, they track taxes on your payments, so be sure to claim them on your tax form!
* Be available 24/7. I can't tell you how many times I have applied for a job and three minutes later get an IM from the poster wanting to ask some questions and have me start right away. This is crucial, especially when you are trying to get your first position.
* I have been very profitable doing this. Take your time, do it right, and reap the benefits!
* Start low. There are too many people in the forums on their site complaining about not getting a job, but they have incomplete profile pages, horrid resumes, and was $30 an hour for what they do. Start low, get the experience, and then raise your price--you'll know what you're worth when you start getting job invitations.

Moreover, verification in Alertpay doesn`t need any Credit Card, Bank Account etc. You just need to send them some documents through email for the verification of your identity and your address and you’ll be verified in no time.
I came to know about Alertpay when I started to join PTCs. I sent them the scan copies of my CNIC and my phone bill and I became verified in just 12 days.
The
best thing I love about Alertpay is their support system. They reply to your inquiry quickly and always look to sort out the problems.
There are different methods of adding funds in Alertpay e.g. Bank wire, bank transfer, Check and Money Order.  Another great thing about Alertpay is that you can withdraw your cash from your account easily and Alertpay will send a check on your address. Currently, Pakistanis can withdraw their money using this method only. Once I made a contact with Alertpay Staff and they replied that more withdrawal methods for Pakistan will be available very soon.
Alertpay is popular globally and after it hit the PTC market, it has been started to accept by many big websites. What so ever, Pakistanis at last got something better for e-business. Though Moneybooker,2CO Checkout etc are available for Pakistanis, but I personally recommend Alertpay to my country fellows.
