Given all of Google’s recent changes, I thought it would be interesting to take a few of my good sites that lost rankings, and see if I can recover them. I’m a big fan of case studies, so whenever possible, I like to document these types of experiments and make them public for all of you to read.This experiment could ultimately fail, but I think it’ll be a good learning experience for both you and me. Keep reading, and I’ll dig into the details.Why Your Niche Sites May Have Been Hurt by “Penguin”There’s a fair amount of speculation...
The “Google AdSense Alternatives” series continues! In case you missed it, I previously wrote about Media.net, and today I’m going to discuss Infolinks.Much like Media.net, Infolinks was one of the alternatives I turned to almost immediately after losing my AdSense account. I had seen it around on a lot of other sites in the past, but never bothered to try it until now. My overall feelings are pretty mixed on this one, and I’ll explain why below.What is Infolinks?Infolinks is a bit different than AdSense or Media.net, mainly because...
As promised, I’m going to periodically update the progress of my case study as I attempt to bring a few of my niche sites “back to life” (you can read part 1 where I explain everything here). View the Original arti...
Time really flies as we get into the summer months – all you want to do is sit outside, enjoy the warm weather, and relax. I did a lot of that May, as I saw my online business finally settle down and begin improving again.May was a lot of fun in a “what the hell am I doing?” kind of way, as I splurged with a couple of fairly large purchases (for my personal life, not internet business). I’ll explain more on that below.Let’s dig into May’s report…A Brief Overview of MayIncome was up in May, and although I’m still very far away from...
Next up in the Google AdSense Alternatives series is Chitika! This is actually one advertising network that I’ve been using for awhile, almost as long as AdSense, because I was able to use it on my InfoBarrel articles.As I go through and review these various alternatives to AdSense, I’m starting to realize that it’s going to be extremely difficult to ever match or beat the performance of AdSense. Perhaps it doesn’t make sense to set AdSense as the “standard” because then everything else is going to appear very weak by comparison.Nevertheless,...
Ever since Google rolled out its recent Panda and Penguin updates, the internet marketing world has been scrambling for new strategies, both with SEO and content creation. The wildly popular mini niche sites are quickly becoming a thing of the past as website creators turn their attention toward something that is seemingly more stable: “authority” websites.The term “authority site” can mean a lot of different things depending on who you ask, but the one element that we can all agree on is more content. It’s difficult for a 5-10...
I’ll immediately point out that the title of this blog post is pure satire. Contrary to what a lot of people would like you to believe, and what you know to be true deep down inside, creating a true authority site is not easy. It requires a lot of hard work and patience. It’s great to “follow your passion”, but the truth is, doing so is not some magical one way path to a proverbial pot of gold.We all know this to be true, but it’s something I’ve recently experienced up close and personal. You probably read a lot of...
This is going to be more of a hypothetical post, but it’s something that I really believe will be a reality before long.No online “empire” has penetrated the average web user’s home like Google, and it only makes sense to look at a online business just as popular to find out who could be the next big player in the ad publishing world – Facebook.This isn’t all conjecture on my part – there are some real signs that point to Facebook becoming the next big online advertising giant, which I’ll of course explain further…Facebook is Already an...
