DIY - HOWTO get more Traffic to your site by making friends on StumbleUpon.com!
Here’s how to get more traffic to your website simply by making lots of friends on StumbleUpon:
Okay, here’s a simple way to get more traffic to your site by making friends on StumbleUpon.com.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Make friends on StumbleUpon.com with people who have similar interests as you do.
2) Once you have a good number of friends, use the “Send to” button and send your friends the site you want to bring more traffic to.
3) Next, send them an honest message of what you want them to do such as, “Can you stumble this?”.
4) Watch as your friends stumble your sites and your traffic spikes to extra 300 to 500 people per day.
5) Your friends will probably ask you to stumble their sites too. Make sure to return favors.
This is a great way since you can make lots of friends and network with other stumblers to promote your website and their websites.
Basically, you scratch their back and they scratch yours.
Blog Monetization - Still using Text Link Ads for selling your Links?
I’ve been getting into monetizing blogs lately and wrote a little article on selling text link ads on your blogs. Check it out and you can take control over the money you make on your blog and increase your profits!
You’ve probably seen bunch of sites that you can sign up for to sell text link ads on your site. I’ve personally tried Text-Link-Ads.com. Although I have made money through their system, I probably only made $200 a month at the most. The problem with these sites is that they take 50% of your sales! That’s a lot of money to give away if you ask me. Plus, they only sell on monthly basis, so you are not guaranteed a steady income.
The solution? Sell you text link ads on your blog as “lifetime” links or get your advertisers to commit to at least one year. That way, you get a large sum of money beforehand. Even if you sell one text link for $1000, you are better off putting that cash in your bank and not worrying about it rather than having to check every month how much you are making.
In other words, SELL your text link ads on your blog. Have a link to a simple explanation how advertisers can buy text link ads on your site. This keeps your life simpler since you only have to place the link once. Set it and forget it.
Here’s a guideline for selling links on your blog:
1. Offer any text links for $20 to $25 a pop. That’s very low for industrial average but you set it and forget it.
2. Offer “site-wide” text links for $1000 a pop. This site-wide link would be placed either on your sidebar or your footer. By offering a permanent links, you offer the advertiser a feature above all the other text link ad sites.
With this method, I’ve made more money within a week than all the money I made through Text-Link-Ads.com. I am not trying to bag on their policies but with the recent penalizations by Google, the best way to sell your links is to sell them directly to your customers and gain 100% profit.
Take control of your blog and monetize those text links that many many SEO companies are after. If you make money, make sure to ping this post by writing about it.
To sum up, think of how much money you can make if you sold 100 lifetime links for $1000. That’s $100,000 in your pocket and you can re-invest that money into advertising for your blog so you get more traffic and raise your PageRanking.
Don’t become a slave to one of those Text Link Ad companies that rip your money. (50%!!! Fu*k that. I will just sell my own links.) TAKE CONTROL of your blog today and MAKE MONEY ONLINE selling direct to your customers, readers, whatever.
P.S. I apologize for those text link ad companies, but I am telling the truth and you guys are selling text links off innocent bloggers who don’t know better.
Think about it? A text link ad company sells YOUR LINKS, not theirs. All they are did is setup a system to make 50% off your links. YES, again, YOUR LINKS!
FCUK BloggingPro - Sell your Blog Themes, you deserve it and you worked hard Ben!
Hmm… looks like our friend Ben over at Blogging Experiment is pondering over whether to sell his customized WordPress Theme or not. I suggest him to incorporate in South Africa and don’t worry about what happens. Okay, that was a joke.
BTW, FCUK is a clothing line I like to wear, it stands for “French Connection United Kingdom“, so don’t be offended, it’s not the swear word…hahaha…
Here’s the comment he received from some BloggingPro, he know how to leave nasty comments w/o clear explanation:
Most of the code of this theme, as well as the graphics comes from the Blogging Pro Theme which is not GPL, it is Creative Commons. Which means you can’t sell this theme. You are profiting off of code you do not own. A quick look at the graphics, CSS, and even theme structure compared to the Blogging Pro theme will let you know this is the case.
Please do not sell this theme any longer, and I will be contacting the creator of the Blogging Pro theme, Design Disease, as well as the owners of the copyright, Bloggy Network LLC.
I think leaving a comment like this proves that they got nothin’ to support their case.
They clearly state here, “a quick look at the ….” Well, that means you should look a little closer, you dumba*s. They should really take a CLOSE look and compare it first before leaving a nasty comment. Check out their parent company, it’s got pictures from the 50s! (WTF? Can they hide behind some fake pics? At least put some pics in color!)
I’ve personally encountered worse comments before and they usually end up as nothing. Ben, my advice to keep selling your blog theme and ignore their stupidity and sue them first for leaving such a comment on your blog, fight for your rights. You can sue them for:
1. Disturbing your sales of your wordpress theme for however many days
2. Leaving such a nasty comment
3. Unprofessional behavior
You should really sue BloggingPro first and they will probably get scared and go into their hiding place or is it happy place?
You know the part about this comment that annoys me the most? It’s not even the fact that the blog owners Ben did something wrong or right, it’s that Bloggy Networks LLC think they can just push around people. These types of comments really annoy me the most. This is very unprofessional and they should keep that under e-mails or phone calls. I’d be happy to remove this post if you guys apologize to Ben and send us $10,000 to our PayPal account.
That’s my 2 cents on this issue, and stop wasting my time whoever it is. Just leave Ben alone! Peace out!
Wordpress Anti-SPAM Plugin - Math Comments Plugin
After receiving DoS (Denial of Service) attacks from hackers and whatnot, we’ve decided to permanently place the Math Comments Plugin. Basically, robots won’t be able to waste any of our server’s precious time and bandwidth. I’ve seen almost zero SPAM comments on our other blogs such as Bedzine Mattress Store and Keetsa Mattress Store after this plugin was installed along with Trackback Verification plugin.
What does it do?
Well, you gotta be good in math or at least be able to add numbers. Until the spammers figure out how to do math, we should be okay and have less problems with our bandwidth.
Sorry for non-spammers out there, you will have to do a little math to comment but no big deal right?
For hackers, bring ‘em on! We love your challenge. We are ethical hackers and will spam, and hack you back 10 fold so… watch who u messin’ with, b**tch! (We have a spam and DoS attacking machine here at Zedomax.com to counter-attack DoSers.)
DIY Wordpress HACK - Upgrade from WP-Cache and Get WP-SuperCache for your Wordpress Blog
I was moving Bedzine, Keetsa, Sleepzine, Mattresszine, and Wagg.It to another server the other day and my WP-Cache kept stallin’ on me so I looked up go Google for a newer version. I found WP-SuperCache which is simply built on top of WP-Cache. Basically, the difference between the two is that the WP-SuperCache also creates a permanent page for pages that have no comments. There are some functionalities such as Lock-Down to help your server from going down in case you get Digged, Stumbled, or Slashdotted.
BTW, don’t use Aplus.Net for dedicated hosting, they had a downtime of almost 5 days! That’s worse than any shared hosting I’ve tried. The funny part is that, all our websites were down but Aplus.Net’s homepage wasnt’t. It explains how they prioritize their customers below their revenue. I’ve had similar experience with Cari.Net, our current host. But when our sites when down, their homepage went down too. Which makes another reason for them to make sure their servers up again. The downtime with Cari.Net wasn’t more than couple hours so I figure it was time for switch to Cari.Net and stop dealing with Aplus.Net. (Think about the time I wasted in moving those websites, changing DNS for the domain names, trying to cope with the new server enviroment. It’s headache and I am glad it’s stopped and our servers are purring.) We’ve got 3 dedicated servers now to run all the websites, costing us an arm and a leg every month. Order a review and help us keep this site live.
Download WP-Cache here:
Download and Install
- Remove any existing instances of WP Cache, as WP Super Cache is a drop in replacement. Don’t forget to delete the files wp-content/advanced-caching.php and wp-content/wp-cache-config.php.
- Download the newest version of the WP Super Cache plugin from the WordPress.org plugin db and follow the instructions contained in the readme.txt file. If you have installed WP-Cache before this shouldn’t be any more difficult.
- After installation, go to the WP Super Cache options page and set your desired cache time.
Why BlogRush will die and EntreCard will exponentially grow!
Here’s a quick post I did on the Net: (Digg It) Reason for this? I feel bitter about BlogRush about them saying crap about how people are cheating and on top it, I like this Graham Langdon guy, he’s a nice guy and a gentlemen. They are also giving out some free ads so why not enter?
I have been keeping a keen eye on the new project by creator of Million Dollar Wiki, Graham Langdon. His new EntreCard, a free widget for bloggers, allows bloggers to advertise and trade 125×125 pixel ads for free. The above is a Alexa web traffic charts comparing BlogRush and EntreCard. As you can see, BlogRush did get MASSIVE traffic in the beginning and slowly on its way downhill. On the other hand, EntreCard started very very SLOW, and seems to have caught up with BlogRush already. Once EntreCard gets out to even more bloggers, the viral effect will cause EntreCard to exponentially grow. Am I an EntreCard evangelist? Hell yes, because it’s a great advertising system built on great functionalities unlike BlogRush.
Now, you can see a close-up of what’s been happening between EntreCard and BlogRush in the last 4 weeks. I bet it won’t be more than 2 weeks before EntreCard eclipses BlogRush. What will happen to BlogRush? It will probably die and suffer massively while EntreCard “converts” BlogRush users to its own.
If you are a blogger and haven’t tried EntreCard, try it today. Our card is the one with One Buck Wiki and EntreWiki so, drop us a card!
