You will notice that this blog URL has been changed to http://www.freetipsandwits.com/moneymakingblog/. Unlike before, there is now a trailing slash. The browsers, namely IE and Firefox, are automatically adding it. I am not sure if it is the new Wordpress or web standards. I tried to rewrite it with HTACCESS but to no avail. With this unwanted change, I also changed the URL structures of my posts.

Because of lack of updates and changes in the URL, this blog has lost PageRanks, and significant amount of web traffic. Those are good lessons to learn. Hence, I want to give this a new life. Now, I am planning to change the design of this blog…again. So, please forgive me if there will be sudden changes here in the coming days. I will also post some interesting articles to help you work at home and make money online, from time to time. I hope you’ll like them.

Cheers to this Rebirth…The new life to work at home and make money online!

I wish you make more money online in 2008!

It’s been a long time I’ve never posted here. Thanks for the visits and comments. Without you, this site will be totally useless. In return, I hope my blog has helped you make money online. Please forgive me for having no new posts or articles. I am really busy and overwhelmed with so many other tasks.

I have been penalized for having no updates. My site’s traffic has gone down and my online income as well. But, I’m happier now because I gained more friends and more income offline. Nevertheless, I’ll look forward to start posting more free tips and wits in 2008.

For the meantime on this special day, I wish you all have a MORE BLESSED NEW YEAR!

Here’s New Year’s Toast by Joanna Fuchs of PoemSource.com:

Here’s to the new year…
May it bring more joy and success
And less grief and regret.

To our dreams…
May we never stop believing in them
And taking the actions that will make them a reality.

To our friends, loved ones, associates (or colleagues)…
May we take the time to let them know
How much it means to us
To have them in our lives.

Let us encourage more and criticize less,
Give more and need less.
And whenever we can,
Let us create harmony and peace.

To new beginnings…
Let us start fresh, right now,
To make this the very best year ever.

A Very Happy New Year to all of us!

Problem# 1: Wordpress blog post URL differs from Blogger blog posts.

When you use the post title for your Blogger blog post URL, there will be problem when you import Blogger to Wordpress. Unlike Wordpress, Blogger does not use the full title of the post as URL. It cuts the title to limit the characters and it also removes the articles “the”, “a”, and “an”. If your Blogger posts have already earned a good PageRank and you don’t want to lose it, then you have to preserve the original post URLs in Blogger.Since my old Blogger blog posts were already indexed and some of them were given a PageRank, I decided to retain their original Blogger URL. I tried to find an easy solution to this problem and the best remedy I found was to edit the Mysql database. I used my backup file to change the URL of the posts in the Wordpress Mysql with the original URLs. It was no sweat as I have less than 50 blog posts that time. This gonna be a big trouble for those blogs with huge number of posts. But, you may opt to change only those with good PageRank, though.

Problem# 2: Subdirectory blog homepage URL can’t be accessed without trailing slash.

My blog is under a subdirectory. In Blogger, my blog could be accessed without the trailing slash. I used RewriteRule in main .htaccess, as follows:RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^moneymakingblog moneymakingblog/index.php [L]

With the above, I could access my blog without the trailing slash and without .htaccess file in the blog directory. But in Wordpress, I have to place the following in main .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^moneymakingblog$ moneymakingblog/index.html [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^moneymakingblog/. moneymakingblog/index.html [L]

I had spent so much time discovering the above entries in my main .htaccess. Before this, I had so much trouble accessing my site without trailing slash and my admin page. There were cases when I could access my admin page but not my homepage without trailing slash and when I could access my blog homepage without trailing slash but not the subpages or blog posts.

Fortunately after so much research and so many trials and errors, I finally discovered the solution. It worked smoothly. So, I retained my PageRank.

Now, let me explain the functions of the above .htaccess entries. The .htaccess rules are being read by the browsers line by line from top to bottom:

RewriteEngine On = This initializes the URL Rewriting
^ = This the start of the string.
$ = This is the end of the string.
[L] = This is the Last rule flag. Use this flag to prevent the currently rewritten URL from being rewritten further by following rules.

RewriteRule ^moneymakingblog$ moneymakingblog/index.html [L] = This rule means that when freetipsandwits.com/moneymakingblog is accessed, it will be redirected to freetipsandwits.com/moneymakingblog/index.html. This rule must precede the conditions. Otherwise, it will be redirected the blog homepage URL with trailing slash.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f = This is the condition that if there’s no file of the same URL, go to the next rule. Otherwise, it will be redirected to that file.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d = This is the condition that if there’s no directory of the same URL, go to the next rule. Otherwise, it will be redirected to the directory.

RewriteRule ^moneymakingblog/. moneymakingblog/index.html [L] = This rule means that all blog URLs after the preceding conditions must be redirected to moneymakingblog/index.html.

Problem# 3: Comment URLs are missing after importing to Wordpress.

This was also a big problem for me. The URLs of the commentators were not imported, they were all missing. I tried to find an easy solution to this. The best solution I found for my case was to edit comments in Wordpress Admin page by copying and pasting the URL of the comment authors. I copied the URLs from my backup Blogger posts and search for the comment author in Wordpress comments and pasted the URLs to the corresponding comments. One by one, I painstakingly copied and pasted the URL to the comments. It was really tedious but I finished it in about an hour as my blog has only less than 200 comments that time.

That’s how I preserved the Blogger permalinks of my blog posts, which have earned some good PageRank and the Blogger comments URLs. Hope this will help you in moving or converting your blog from Blogger to Wordpress.

Here are the additional resources that could help you fix the problems you may encounter when moving, converting, or migrating blog from Blogger or other blog platform to Wordpress:

Importing Content from Blogger and other blog platforms to Wordpress
Maintain permalinks moving from new Blogger to WordPress 2.0
Importing Haloscan comments into WordPress from Blogger

1. First and foremost, know the benefits of converting your blog from Blogger to Wordpress. See if the benefits worth the conversion for your blog.
2. If you’ve decided to convert your blog or go for Wordpress, signup to have one. If you host your own blog, install the Wordpress blog into a directory other than your existing blog through the Fantastico feature of your web host. If you opt to install Wordpress manually, here is the Wordpress installation guide.
3. After installation, sign in and access your Wordpress admin page. Select the Wordpress template you prefer. The popular templates are those with 2-column and 3-column designs. But, there are so many Wordpress themes or templates that will surely capture your heart.
4. Choose the Wordpress widgets you love. Popular Wordpress widgets include Popular Posts, Recent posts, Recent Comments, Related Posts, Top Commentators, and also the money making widgets. These are only few of the Wordpress widgets that attract readers and make them navigate or participate in your blog discussions.
5. Identify the Wordpress widgets and other blog sections you wanted to appear in your blog. Map these widgets and blog sections in your Wordpress template.
6. Edit the Wordpress template to implement the widgets and other sections in your Wordpress blog. Choose the URL structure your prefer as discussed in my previous post, Top 5 Reasons to Convert Your Blog From Blogger to Wordpress. Test if your final template and design are working properly by clicking the links or navigating it.
7. Before you may import your Blogger blog posts with externally-hosted Wordpress blog, edit first the blogger.php file in /wp-admin/import/. Delete the “2″ in www2.blogger.com.
8. Convert your self-hosted Blogger blog into blogspot in Blogger Admin Settings with any available name. Better do it during the non-peak hours of your blog. When there are less visitors accessing your blog. Then, click Formatting in the Blogger Setting and change the post timestamp into mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss AM/PM, the first option in drop-down menu. After that, click Archiving and set Archive Frequency to “monthly”. Then, import your Blogger blog posts and comments through the import link in your Wordpress blog Admin page. After importing, immediately convert your blogspot blog to its original state. This will minimize the inaccessibility of your original blog.
9. Test your Wordpress blog again but having your own blog posts. Don’t forget to delete the sample post if you’ve not yet done so. Navigate your blog to ensure that everything is fine.
10. If all are OK, backup your old Blogger blog and the new Wordpress blog. Then, edit your Wordpress blog base URL at Options in Admin page. Replace it with your original blog URL, either root or subdirectory. Here’s the details of moving Wordpress blog to another directory.
11. If you original blog is in subdirectory, just change the name of that directory with a new one. Then, rename your Wordpress blog directory with your original blog directory. Then, type your blog URL in your web browser address window. You must be directed to your Wordpress blog.If your original blog is in the root directory, you need to delete your original blog files. To minimize or prevent your original blog being inaccessible, implement a temporary redirection to your Wordpress blog directory prior to deletion. Then, upload your Wordpress blog to the root directory where your original blog is located.
12. Now, type your original blog URL in your web browser address bar and your Wordpress blog should appear. If everything is fine, you may delete or disable your Blogger blog permanently. Search engine robot access to your blog backup directory in your server must be disallowed using robots.txt to prevent duplicate content.

That’s it…Enjoy your Wordpress blog!

Now, here are the top 5 reasons I migrated my blog from Blogger to Wordpress:

As basis of my comparison, you have to take note that I am hosting my blog at HostMonster. Hence, I am using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program and blog admin panel for publishing, uploading and editing.

1. Plugins or Blog Widgets. Wordpress has more plugins or widgets available for bloggers. Wordpress has several choices of interactive or sociable widgets or plugins such as top commentators, popular posts, related posts, recent posts, recent comments and many more. Widgets in Wordpress seemed to be endless or bottomless. In Blogger, I can’t find a widget or plugin for top commentators and popular posts. These could be provided by Blogger or other developers in the future, though.
2. Publishing or Editing Blog Posts. In Wordpress, publishing a new or edited post is far faster than Blogger. Unlike Blogger, Wordpress does not republish all blog entries everytime you publish a new post or edit an old post. It simply saves or upload the new or edited entry. If you have a numerous blog entries, it will take time for Blogger to update your blog. It will even encounter an uploading error during peak hours when many bloggers are updating their blogs.
3. URL Structure Options. In Wordpress, there are several options of URL structure to choose from while there’s only one in Blogger, i.e. http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/yyyy/mm/post-name(.html, .htm, .php, .asp, etc.). In Wordpress, you may choose either of the following URL structures:
   • Default:
     http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/?p=123
   • Date and name based:
     http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/2007/10/30/post-name/Numeric:
     http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/archives/123
   • Custom:
     You may customize your blog URL by placing after your blog directory, each of the following codes in any order in between slash and you may add file extension at the end like .html, .htm, .php, and .asp.

   Codes:
   %year% = year posted in 4 digits
   %monthnum% = month posted in 2 digits
   %day% = day posted in 2 digits
   %postname% = full post title with dash as space
   %post_id% = post sequence number

   • Examples:
     http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
     http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/%postname%/
     http://your-blog-domain-and-directory/%post_id%
4. TrackBack capability. Wordpress has the ability to track back other blogs’ link juice to your blog with an excerpts or portion of texts of its posts. Likewise, your backlinks to other Wordpress blogs are easily detected by its TrackBack feature. Blogger has only a simple backlinks feature that list the post title with links to all other blogs’ posts linking to it. However, there is a third-party site that offer a Weblog Commenting and TrackBack Tool for Blogger and other blog software, i.e. the Haloscan. But, I did not explore this tool.
5. Popular Blogs are Using Wordpress. Most of the popular blogs I like are using Wordpress. Some of them are MattCutss.com/blog, Problogger.net, JohnChow.com, copyblogger.com, and StevePavlina.com. Matt Cutts, Senior Engineer for Google Search, said in Wordpress Conference that it is guaranteed to be crawlable if you use Wordpress. Though there are also many popular blogs in Blogger, Wordpress blogs appeared to be more popular.

As to the other points of comparison of Blogger and Wordpress like themes, indexing and HTML or blog template editing, I found them even. Both Blogger and Wordpress have many templates to choose from their respective sites and also from third-party sites. And based on many bloggers’ experience, search engines index the new posts of these blog platforms at a reasonable time. Another thing, both template can be easily edited, with knowledge of HTML basics.

With the reasons above, I have converted my blog. Though I’ve encountered some problems, I managed to resolve them and now, I am enjoying the benefits of Wordpress blog. I hope this post can help you decide whether you convert or migrate your blog from Blogger to Wordpress or not.

Yeah, it’s cool to relax with green environment. But, it’s no time to relax as today is “Environment Day”, organized by the Blog Action Day. Today, all bloggers are invited to join and write about “Environment”, donate to environmental charities, and/or promote Blog Action Day around the web. So, do something good for the environment today.

Environment is universally defined as “all external conditions and circumstances that affect the life, development and survival of an organism”. Based on Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), organism is an individual living system such as animal, plant, or micro-organism, that is capable of reproduction, growth and maintenance. In short, environment is the earth and its inhabitants.

Nowadays, care for the environment must be a priority. Our environment is being damaged by the global warming caused by the greenhouse gases due to rampant deforestation, too much pollution, explosions, chemical waste, and many more the enhances production or lessens consumption of carbon dioxide. Sadly, they’re all made by humans.

Global warming has abnormally changing the earth’s landscape, through tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones and earthquakes. It is the manifestation of the wrath of nature due to our irresponsible and greedy actions. The ozone layer that protects us from the devastating ultraviolet heat of the sun is being diminished by the pollution we make.

The earth is slowly dying but it’s not too late. We can still prevent the earth from total extinction. We can maintain a green environment for our future and generations to come. Only if all of us will care and do our duty to preserve the earth.

Top 15 ways to preserve the Green Environment

1. Develop green environment awareness among your family, community and friends, locally and globally.
2. Join a local environmental group in your area. If none, you organize one to promote environment-friendly programs.
3. Join the petition to your local or national government to lessen greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Plant a tree or any plant in your backyard. Plants consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen we need.
5. Segregate biodegradable and non-biodegradable garbage in separate container.
6. Recycle non-biodegradable stuff in your house like plastic container, plastic bags, bottles, etc.
7. Avoid or minimize burning anything as it produces carbon dioxide.
8. Minimize use of motor cars that uses fossil fuel like crude oil, natural gas and petroleum gas.
9. Donate to environmental group to support their earth-friendly programs.
10. Conserve water and electricity, if they’re using fossil fuel.
11. Practice car pooling for vehicles that use fossil fuel. Make an arrangement with your neighbors to use your cars alternately for going to and coming from office.
12. Use solar-powered appliances and equipment.
13. Avoid wasting papers or printing, if not necessary. Papers are made from trees.
14. Use plastic or metal products instead of wood for building houses, offices, and other structures.
15. Work at home and make money with earth-friendly money making ideas.

Top 5 Tips to Make Money By Promoting Green Environment

1. Grow flowers and plants and sell them in your community.
2. Make decors from recycled plastic and glass items and sell them for profit.
3. Offer car transport with other car owners in your neighborhood for a fee on a weekly or monthly basis.
4. Plant vegetables in the backyard for your own consumption and sell the excess to your neighbors.
5. Create a web site that promotes green environment and make money online with Adsense, environment-related affiliate products or from donations from earth-loving people.

So, let’s support Blog Action Day for Environment. From today onward, let’s think and act to preserve a Green Environment.

The question now is…How frequent should a blogger update or post? Should it be once a day? more than once a day? once a week? or…once a month?

Here are some of the opposing thoughts I’ve read from other blogs:

• Frequent posting can make more money. The more frequent you post, the more contents your blog has. More contents make search engines happy. Remember, search engines love contents. The more contents your blog has, the more keywords and keyword density it will have. More keywords and greater keyword density, your blog will have more chance to have a better ranking in the search engine results page (SERP). Better search engine ranking equals more traffic and more traffic means more money you can make.
• Frequent posting can increase loyal readership. Posting more articles make you earn more respect from your readers, making them return regularly. More posts invite a frequent visits to your blog. In addition to this, your readers will surely subscribe to your feeds to keep them updated. More readership and subscribers means you can make more money from RSS feed advertising as well as from your other promotions.
• Frequent blog posting can cause writer and reader burnout. Generally, too many posts at a time by one blogger makes the quality of content suffer. The blogger may not sustain requirement of too many blog entries a day. Likewise, the readers may become burnt out of reading too many articles at a certain point in time. This will make them not to read all the entries or will even make them unsubscribe due to overload of blog posts that they can’t read anymore.
• Less frequent blog posting attracts more reader participation. There will be more interaction among readers through the comments section. There will be more time to have a profound discussion about the post as it will remain for sometime in the front page. Otherwise, your entries will easily leave the first page and could be buried into oblivion.
• Traffic is generated by participating in the community, not by daily posting. It is said that blog post frequency does not matter anymore. Engaging with your targeted audience is much smarter that posting frequently.
• Frequent posting keeps the senior leaders out of the blogosphere. Senior executives and leaders of thoughts could not cope up with high posting frequency due to their extremely high job pressure. Hence, there’s a risk of overlooking the valuable thought leadership.

Many consider it highly advisable to post at least once a day. Your blog will be able to gain traffic from search engines and RSS feed subscriptions avoiding writer and reader burnout. However, you may blog less frequently depending on your available time. But, always aim for a quality posts to attract quality search engines and repeat visitors.

9 Tips on Keyword Optimization

The following are the SEO keyword tips revealed by Matt:

1. Google penalizes sites that stuff keywords, not because of promoting immortality device like that of Alex Chiu. Don’t obviously stuff your posts with SEO keywords make it look as natural. There are natural ways to make them appear into your post. Use this knowledge only for good, never for evil.
2. Use the words that users are typing in the search engine boxes in your blog posts. For example, type in lol cats in Google’s free Keyword Tool and it will show you synonyms for lol cats, like cat pictures, L.O.L, funny pics cats, funny pictures cats and LOL kittens.
3. Use also the plural forms, not just singular.
4. Don’t use common keyword misspellings, leave it to your readers in a very natural way. There are people who don’t care about the correct spelling of the words they type.
5. Use categories that are good keywords like gadgets, hacks, how-to weblog, blog. This promotes usability and search engine optimization as well. But, don’t use irrelevant categories as it will not only harm usability but also your Google standing.
6. Google don’t rely as much on meta description tag as they’re not seen by the users. Instead, it gives more weight on categories, sidebars, navigation menus on the side, the whole content of the page.
7. It is advisable to use the keywords somewhere in the post.
8. Do not repeat the same keywords within a line but you may use slight keyword variants or synonyms.
9. Do not alter the content you send to googlebot. It’s cloaking and you will be kicked out of the Google index for a long long time. Write with the users and search engines in mind.

8 Tips on SEO URLs

What Matts said on optimizing URLs:

1. Do not put your blog at the root of your domain. Try putting it on a subdomain or a subdirectory. People will link to your root domain and to your blog. That will be an extra pagerank point and a room for future expansion. But, if you already have in the root, it’s not a big deal. Consider this only if you’re starting a blog.
2. Use dashes to separate keywords in your URLs. Google is considering underscore as a good keyword separator. Dashes and underscores are better than no space at all. Though Google can segment keywords from combined words without space, other search engines cannot like Gigablast, Ask.com, Turbo10, etc.
3. Don’t change URLs of your old posts and do a permanent or 301 redirect, if you’ve already done it with no spaces. But use dashes in your future post URLs.
4. You may use URL extensions such as .php, .asp, .cfm, .htm, .html, etc. except .exe.
5. Dynamic URLs with question marks or hash marks are treated by Google as static URL but keep the number of parameters up to 3 only. Otherwise, it will not be crawled by Googlebot.
6. Google doesn’t really care how much or how detailed your URLs are. Page rank flows completely independent of how many slashes there are.
7. Standardize your URL. Choose one from: with www, without www, with slash, with /index.*. Search engine treat them as different URL and you will not get the full credit if the your backlinks are in different format. Analyze your backlink URLs before you decide.
8. Use your own domain name in your FeedBurner feeds thru FeedBurner MyBrand.It’s free. So if you wanna get rid of FeedBurner you can always just leave it behind. And, changing to your own domain name will have no impact to your old FeedBurner URL.

6 Tips on Accessibility and Usability

Matt’s optimization tips to make your blog or site accessible or usable to most of the users:

1. Use Alt tags on your images as it makes big difference in search engines. Matt said there’s a blind guy at Google, who can’t see image but can read Alt tags (?). Don’t make him angry.
2. You may use a full sentence in Alt tags but don’t overdo it or use irrelevant keywords like cheap-cheap-Viagra-online-mesothelioma-debt-consolidation-mortgage-payment. 7 to 8 words are fine but Matt prefers 3 up to 5 words.
3. Do a podcast or video. Matt shared a valuable tip how to choose between podcast and video. Submit a picture of yourself to hotornot.com. If you got a rating of 7 and above, then do a video. Otherwise, podcast is more appropriate. Don’t just believe on what your mother has been saying to you.
4. Use Wordpress for your blog and you’re guaranteed your site is crawlable. Default Wordpress install is almost optimal in terms of crawlability.
5. Don’t use frame sets or other sorts of weird stuff as it don’t work well on iPhones and other cell phones or mobile phones or GSMs. Many people are now accessing sites on their phones.
6. Show dates of the post because people wanna know when your post was created.

4 Tips on Link Building, Link-bait and PageRank

Matt’s advice on link building, link bait and increasing PageRank:

1. Don’t worry about the supplemental results as there’s not much you can do about it. It’s an exclusive PageRank business.
2. Be creative and get huge amount of backlinks. That’s huge amount of PageRank. Below are the best examples of creative concepts for effective link building and getting huge amount of web site traffic:
   ==> LOLCat Builder
   ==> Lonely Girl Fifteen on video
   ==> Million Pixel Homepage
   ==> Making a Mac versus PC parody
   ==> The Free Hugs Campaign
   ==> Parez Hilton
   ==> Video of people saying the word “Google” really fast for about five minutes
   ==> Dr. David’s picture of bloggers and cartoons of what they want to be
   ==> Counting and comparing the spam emails received

on Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo
==> Live-Blog on Techmeme
==> John Dvorak’s Creative controversy
==> Robert Scoble Mention a-listers
==> Jeremy Schumaker’s poll: George Bush - Great President Or Greatest President Ever?
==> Matt Cutts’ got hacked on 1st of April and he really got hacked

3. Selling links and buying links are against Google guidelines and Google take serious action against it. If you want to sell links make sure that they don’t effect search engines. You can do a link through a url that re-directs and then robot that text out, you can use java script, you can use the no follow tag, that’s fine.
4. The best advice is to make great compelling content and come up with some hook, some social engineering, the gimmick, the angle that’s going to make your stuff go viral.

Adsense Tip

Matt on Adsense:

Use adsense section targeting. Just take the meat of your post and Google ads will be more focused about what you’re actually talking about. That means more clicks and more adsense revenues for you.

7 Recommended Tools and Plugins

Matt recommended the following web tools and plugins:

1. Use Akismet math comments spam protection. This stops a lot of people spamming your blog.
2. Use polls to promote democracy like asking “Which type of pet do you have?”
3. Use SEO title tool from Stephan, which swaps the name of your blog with your post title and other stuff.
4. Use Google Analytics and find out where your web site traffic is coming from. You will know if they are coming from the queries that people are using or from direct links or from people that type in your URL. It’s free.
5. Check your robots.txt as it may be blocking your URL completely. Use robots.txt to disallow search engine bots to crawl particular page or directory in your site.
6. Use 404 handler to redirect any external broken links or backlinks to your homepage or to any of your URL and receive free web site traffic. You may check your broken backlinks thru Google Analytics.
7. Develop for IPhone apps. There are important sites that host IPhone apps or IPhone directories where you can get a lot of web site traffic.

Hope the above summary of free SEO tips helps you implement white hat SEO tips on your blog or site. Sorry, if I’ve misunderstood or I’ve missed important points. Please tell me by commenting on this post.

Question #1: Why eBay??? I want to make ‘real’ money, not just make a few dollars selling junk for pennies!

Here’s a news flash… Selling “junk” on eBay is never going to make you rich and it’s not something I’d ever recommend.

The secret to eBay success is using key research tools to discover what people are buying on eBay and how much they’re willing to spend. Then all you have to do is find a cheap source of that product so you can buy it for less, then turn around and sell it at a generous mark-up on eBay.

It’s not rocket science… and there are no tricks and gimmicks involved, just steady, reliable income, and the chance to grow a huge opt-in list of people you can sell other products to in the future.

It might not be as SEXY as the one-in-a-million chance of launching a website that starts making 1000s of dollars overnight. But it’s way more of a sure thing and personally, I find a guaranteed extra $1,000 a month sexier than a distant longshot any day of the week.

Question #2: I’ve been pouring all my free time and money into my online business, now you’re saying I need to start all over again with eBay?

For goodness’ sake, no. If you’re smart, you should use eBay to help you grow your “regular” online business, not replace it.

Not only is eBay an excellent place to do valuable market research, you’ll also know what your potential buyers are buying. It also allows you to grow a huge opt-in list of people you can sell to, before your off-eBay site is even up and running.

Imagine that being able to drive thousands of interested buyers to your site the very same day you launch it.

Question #3: I already have a profitable online business. Why should I bother with eBay?

My answer is, I guess it depends on how happy you are with your traffic numbers.

If you’re getting so much web site traffic that it’s crashing your server and you literally don’t know what to do with it, then you probably don’t want to use eBay to send more visitors to your site.

BUT, if you’re getting less than 500 visitors a day, or if you’re getting more than that but your visitors aren’t converting to sales. Then, you should seriously consider eBay auction. It’s a great way to drive highly targeted visitors to your site.

Remember, these are people you’ve found on the world’s largest marketplace, which means they’re enthusiastic online shoppers. They’re exactly the kind of people you want to introduce your products to.

But, I’ve stumbled upon this post of Paula Neal Mooney and I realized that it is a good idea to share this kind of info to others who want to work at home and make money online. It is better if you will know how much a certain blogger or webmaster make money with the kind of blog or web site he is running. Though, some may overstate or understate their earnings. So, just evaluate and judge it by yourself.

My Top Money Makers

Below are my top money makers from January to July 2007. I started some of them only in the middle of the period:

Resell Rights Packs - $3,228.00
Adsense - $2,833.53
Commission Junction - $329.92
Kontera - $207.34
5 Pillar - $292.13
MaxBounty - $39.65
AuctionAds - $27.35

Web site traffic is the main factor to make money online. If you have a huge web site traffic, you can make huge money on the net. Honestly speaking, driving a good traffic to your site is not plain and easy. It needs dedication, patience, creativity, sociability and continuous learning. Here are the top 7 sources of free web site traffic that could help you.

My Online Advertisements

If you want to speed up increasing web site traffic and you are ready to invest some amount of money, use online advertising. Here are my online advertising that bring around 25% of web site traffic at an average cost of $100 a month:

Google Adwords
BidVertiser
Clicksor
Text Link Ads
AdBrite
LinkReferral

To maximize your ROI (Return on Investment), make sure that you give a clear direction on you site or blog for your visitors to follow. This is the direction that will guide them to find what they’re looking for. By doing so, you hit your goal as well.

My other minimal expenses are for my domain name and hosting, as follows:

Domain Name with Netfirms - $9.95/year (first year was $4.95)
Hosting with Hostmonster - $3.95/month with fantastic features

My Website Background

Honestly, I learned website building from scratch in 2005. Then, I registered my domain name in October of the same year. It was just for fun of having my own website to brag with my family and friends. I had zero knowledge in SEO, then. Hence, my domain name was not optimized.

I built my website in 2006 with nonsense content. On the later part of 2006, I learned the detailed SEO techniques from Ken Evoy, who has been instrumental to the success of several top money making web sites. So, I immediately revamped and redesigned my website. I began posting search-engine-optimized contents that help others make money online. From then, it has started gaining PageRank, receiving web site traffic from search engines and beginning to make money. And in January 2007, I started my blog and it reached PR4 in April.

So far, I am happy with the money I make with my website. I have a limited time for writing and posting blog entries as I’m still working as a slave horse. But, I am very much optimistic that I can make more money in the future. I see vast opportunities to work at home and make money online, full-time without a BOSS watching over my shoulders.

I believe you can make it, too. Just take the first step…Do it NOW!

The Fact of Evil Link Building Strategy

It’s a fact that Google is really serious in penalizing those blogs that are promoting artificial link building. This was experienced by John Chow as he revealed in his post titled It’s All About Pushing The Limit. He admitted with great candidness that his blog has been penalized by Google for overdoing a backlink promotion for the search keyword, Make Money Online. Based on Yahoo Keyword Tool, there are more than 40,000 searches for the keyword, “make money online” in January 2007.

Earlier, John Chow’s blog ranked no. 1 on the first page of the Google’s search results page (SERP) for “make money online” as its backlinks from its “Review My Blog” evil backlink strategy reached more than 70 batches (now 80+) of around 5 links each (i.e. more than 400 backlinks to his blog). But, subsequently his blog was gone on the first page of Google’s SERP. This could be temporary only but could be permanent. Matt Cutts should know.

The Right Link Building Scheme

Actually, I have mentioned this type of link building scheme in my post that backlinks to your site must not be solicited, paid and/or begged from other sites. Links to your site or blog must be natural or voluntary. There must be no explicit pressure or consideration for getting backlinks. Backlinks must come from the heart of other bloggers, webmasters and web publishers who truly love or believe in your blog or web site content, not because of the incentives (money or in kind) you offer.

To better understand Google and other search engines, try to put yourself on search engines’ shoes, if they have shoes. Imagine yourself that you’re the search engine, Google. Your business is to deliver a list of quality web sites or blogs for keywords typed in by the search engine users. You rank them by the number of backlinks based on the PageRank system. This is on the premise that site having a great no. of backlinks should mean that it is delivering quality content. Surely, you will be wary of sites that are playing around with your PageRank system, particulary those buying, requesting or begging links from other others.

Final Thoughts

So, be very careful in your link building strategy. The best link building strategy is to post quality content that other blogs and web sites will love. This post may help you getting 1-way backlinks from authority and popular sites. Having a natural backlinks from others sites, especially from popular sites increases your ranking in SERP that will give you free web site traffic for your prominent keywords.

As per Adsense TOS, Adsense publishers in good standing may place Google ads on any site. So, you are free to place your Adsense account here. Objective of this program is to try sharing the Adsense revenue on this site in exchange for some referrals that you may bring here.

Just add ?pub=X&cha=X to any of this site’s page URL, like the sample URLs below:

Homepage:
http://www.freetipsandwits.com/?pub=X&cha=X

http://www.freetipsandwits.com/moneymakingblog?pub=X&cha=X

Sub-page:
http://www.freetipsandwits.com/free-money-making-courses.php?pub=X&cha=X

Replace the X in pub with your 16-digit Adsense publisher ID and the X in cha with your 10-digit Adsense channel for tracking. Adsense ID and channel of the pages where you added those will be replaced with yours. So, clicks on the Google ads will be credited to you.

So, browse the site and copy the URL of the page you like and add your Adsense publisher ID and channel as per the format above. Then, refer the pages or links to your friends or place the URL on your site as an additional content-rich resource to your site visitors. Every click on the Google ads on pages you refer is credited to your Adsense Account.

Keep in my mind, however, that you are solely responsible for your Adsense Account and Google is responsible for tracking and paying your Adsense income on the pages you refer. This site has no responsibility with your Adsense revenues and activities in any way.

The Best Way to Work At Home

You can really work at home and make money online with a website or blog. But to make more money from home is to create a website or blog with high web traffic. The best source of a free unlimited website traffic is the search engines especially Google, Yahoo, and AOL. To build traffic from search engines, you have to optimize your site or blog with relevant keywords.

The next step is to submit your website to search engines primarily to Google. Use sitemap if applicable. For blogs, it is automatically captured by the search engines through auto pinging to feed aggregators. You may also submit your blog to Google by using the atom.xml as sitemap.

Once your site or blog is indexed, the next step is to make it on the first page of the search engine results page (SERP) of Google. To be on the first page, you must have a original and keyword-optimized content and must have enough backlinks from sites or blogs with a good PageRank. PageRank is the measurement being used by Google to identify a good and popular websites, which are referred to by many websites.

1. Clicking own Google ads for any reason. However, unintentional clicks on own ads are detected but accepted by Google as unavoidable. If you want an information on Google advertiser, type the URL of the advertiser on the browser address or use Adsense Preview Tool.
2. Asking others to click on ads, directly or indirectly. Avoid using statement or words that implies request to click ads like “Part of the revenue of this site is being donated to a charitable organization“, “click ads to win prizes”, “click ads to earn money”, and other programs which compensate or incentivize users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails.
3. Reloading own web pages excessively. This generates artificial or invalid impressions. However, normal viewing your own pages yourself will not affect your good standing in Adsense Program.
4. Adsense codes are modified to open in a new window or to change font size and format of Google ads. Once you’ve generated your code, do not alter any portion of the Adsense code or change the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason, unless specifically authorized to do so by Google.
5. Google ads are placed beside images to make them appear as related even they are separated with borders and spaces. Adsense publishers are advised not to line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads as visitors may click the ad expecting to find something that isn’t actually being offered.
6. Google ads are placed below drop-down menus and/or adjacent to the site navigation menu. This ad placement may result to accidental or invalid clicks to Google ads.

12. Offers Adsense referral products requiring users to submit email addresses. Adsense referral units must be promoted without any obligation from user’s end.
13. Google ads are displayed on pages without content or on web pages containing excessive, repetitive and irrelevant keywords.
14. Displaying Google ads as an alternate ads. However, Google allows Adsense publishers to use other ads as an alternate ads rather than showing public service ads (PSAs) if no targeted ads are available.

16. Google ads that are captioned as “Featured sites”, “Sites to Visit”, “Favorite Sites”, “Other resources”, and the like. Using arrows or other graphical gimmicks to direct user’s attention to Adsense units. However, Adsense referral products can be explicitly endorsed.

However, you you may accurately disclose the amount of Google’s gross payments to you pursuant to the Program.
22. Not keeping your email address up-to-date. Adsense team first try to work with the publisher to remedy violation issue over email. So, better add adsense-support@google.com to your email contacts list to make sure you receive any email messages from Adsense team regarding your account.

Adsense Account Termination and Reinstatement

1. Google treats invalid click activity very seriously as this artificially inflate an advertiser’s costs or a publisher’s earnings. Using Google proprietary detection system, Adsense account of the erring publisher is terminated without providing any details on his/her account activity.

6. If your Adsense account is terminated or disabled and you believe that you are clean, you may appeal and request for account reinstatement. Adsense Team will be happy to reconsider your account with the additional information provided. However, there is no guarantee that you will be reinstated as Google reserves the right to disable an account for any reason.
7. Google reserves the right to terminate without notice any account that has not generated a sufficient number of valid clicks on Ads or Referral Buttons or valid impressions of Ads (in each case as measured by Google) for a period of two (2) months or more.
