Feedvertising From TLA
September 29, 2006
Last week, Text Link Ads announced that they would be offering Feedvertising, which has been in a limited beta for a while. Anybody that is using WordPress 2.0 can download a plugin from the TLA site, add a bit of code to their pages, and deliver ads, at the end of each post in their RSS feed.
Feedvertising gives you the ability to sell ad space, define your own message, or both. Quite a few high profile blogs, such as TechCrunch and ProBlogger have been using the service during the beta period, with pretty good results.
With Text Link Ads, advertisers pay a flat amount per month, so there is no cost-per-click or variable CMP rates. You’ll know exactly how much money you’ll be making and how much potential there is.
If you’d like a closer look at how to add this to your blog, take a look at the Flash video tutorial.
If you’re not signed up at Text Link Ads, there is an approval proccess to go through. All you have to do is create a publisher account to start the approval proccess.

RSS Thieves
September 14, 2006
RSS which stands for Really Simple Syndication allows you to simply syndicate your blog, website, newsfeeds and more all over the internet. People can sign up with the click of a button and read your blog through their email programs, online or special feed programs.
However, as it becomes more simple to do this and can help you get more readers to your blogs, it is also a loved format for content thieves. Special programs allow them to automatically steal your content and lots of others, keeping their blog or website updated with your material.
Some sites are legitimate and will simply provide your post title and a summary, linking back to you so that people can go to your site to read what you have written. This provides you with free advertising and more visitors.
Affiliate Income
September 14, 2006
Affiliate programs sometimes make you feel that you will be rich the next day if you start pushing their products, but you should know that is not the case. If you decide to start being an affiliate, you have to realize it will be hard work that might pay off and might not.
Starting a blog on the specific product is a great to way to try and get buyers but it won’t always work, espeically if you can’t get traffic to it. Using Google’s Adwords can backfire big time if and when you spend much more on advertising fees than you make back on your commissions.
Creating a specific website on your own, pushing the product is one of the best ways and that is what most people do. However it is really hard now to make money in most affiliate programs because they are extremely saturated.
Type in dental plans in any search engine and you are likely to see lots of people pushing AmeriPlan or Dentalplans.com. It is hard to get a foot in the door, especially if these sites have been up for years and are more loved by the search engines than your new site or blog.
The only way to make money doing this is to try new things and don’t stop the hard work. It’s also best to find a small niche that not many people are selling.
