Sorry for the lack of updates in the last few days. I’ve been working on another project called Celeb Daily Dose. CDD is a blog containing galleries of celebs, models, porn-stars etc. It went live today and to my surprise has received 288 visitors already. 288 may not seem that many but that’s without any promotion what so ever so once I incorporate the techniques i’ve covered in Monty-blog.com I should be looking at 1000 + per day with in a week.

This may seem like me bragging or a shameless plug for my new blog, but why I really added this post was to show you how easy it is to set up and run a blog. From start to finish it took me a day to setup the blog with a free Wordpress account. Once your happy with the way your blogs looking just start posting till your hearts content.

A ‘Page Rank’ is a number Google gives to a web page that represents how important Google thinks the page is on the web. When one page links to another, Google considers it to be effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more ‘votes’ there are for a page across the whole web, the more important that page must be. But that’s quite an assumption, isn’t it?

The importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself really is, meaning in Google calculations a page’s importance comes from the votes cast for it. These votes are then taken into account when the page is ranked.  

As a general rule of thumb, Google Page Ranks along with Alexa ratings are the best indicators of how well your SEO work has been going. Granted, the ranking that you appear in on the results for your most important key words is the real indicator, but a strong Google Page Rank will help to boost this position substantially. The more links that you have pointing at your site, the better off you are. That’s a basic rule that will apply throughout your SEO operations.

Page Rank matters because it’s one of the most influential factors that determine a page’s ranking in Google’s search results. If you want to have good Page Rank, you’d better make sure people are linking to your site.  

Well, don’t jump the gun and try to get your site linked from everywhere you can, because Google doesn’t count every link. They have started filter out links from known ‘link farms’ (sites that are nothing but big lists of links), and being linked to or from these kinds of sites will get you penalized by Google. Be careful out there. They have also implemented a new relevance calculator that (true to its name) tries to determine how relevant the links into and out of your site are. The most important factor here is that Google considers long lasting links as more meaningful than a recently published link.

The best way to increase your page rank is to contact people with relevant and complementary content (that is, content that does not compete with your own but that enhances it). These links are most likely to last and they will not only increase your Google Page Rank, but they will also provide relevant hits via the links themselves.

Bangbros is the biggest adult website network on the internet with around 18 websites to date. With their yearly turnover in the millions it’s a great affiliate program to get involved with. Before you dismiss the idea because you don’t want to get involved with adult content, you have to remember that its business and a key factor to success is finding a affiliate program that sells well and with Bangbros that’s exactly what you get. It’s a well know fact that sex sells well on the internet, gone are the days where you’d see some old guy trying to hide his face as he walks out of a sex shop with a brown paper bag full of videos. Now he can purchase it anonymously in the comfort of his own home and because its so easy he’s like to buy more.  Bangbros affiliate program is free to sign up too (as are just about all affiliate programs). Once you have signed up and been approved you can log into your affiliate control panel for the first time which can simply be described as the best I have used. The features that it offers are firstly a stats page that is constantly updated with how many clicks your links are producing, number of sign ups and amount you have earned. You also get a huge amount of promotional banners and free content (about 70% to 80% of the full site content) to incise people to sign up. Payment wise bangbros is one of the highest paying affiliate programs that I have used. They pay $35 per sign up and then further payments for any renewals that your original sign up provides. They also pay $200 dollars per webmaster referral (so if you find this review helpful and intend to sign up please do so from here. I would do the same for you). I find that the sign up rate for me works at about 1 sign up per 80 clicks so if you can increase traffic from your links to about 500 clicks a day your talking a nice profit of about $175 (£87.50). 

I’m rather fussy when it comes to selecting affiliate programs. Before I sign up I make sure they tick all the boxes. Pays well, is a product that will sell well and has a good control panel to keep you up to date with happenings. Bangbros has all of this. So if your new to the affiliate market or a true pro I really suggest trying Bangbros and like I said earlier please sign up from one of my links. It won’t cost you anything and it will enable me to carry on bring you useful information via Monty-blog.com instead of getting a real job. Hope you’ve found this useful.

The other day I stumbled across a great plugin by Ankesh Kothari called buy me a beer. The WordPress plugin that allows my blog readers to buy me a beer via PayPal. 

The plugin adds a “Buy Me a Beer” button to your sidebar and at the bottom of every post. When your readers click on the button, they are taken to the secure PayPal page so they can donate money for your drinking habits. For the tea total people among you, there’s non-alcoholic drinks, which shows a setting to replace the beer mug with a coffee cup. 

This isn’t a way to make big bucks from your blogging, but I think it’s a nice plugin for people to show their appreciation of your blog. So if you find anything that is useful in my blog, or you’re just feeling generous, then please buy me a beer.

If you’re a webmaster wanting to increase your traffic, this post is just want you’re looking for.  

So your site/blog is up and running and you’ve got a steady steam of traffic that you’ve generated for free, through such ways as links on related forums or link trades with other sites. This is a good place to be, because like a house you need firm footings. The next step is to build up your traffic. It’s obvious that the more visitors your site/blog gets the higher affiliate sales rate is going to be.  

For example:- 

Let’s say that you make affiliate sales of 2% of your visitors and you make £10 per sale (this will depend on your affiliate programs). For the first example you’re getting a steady stream of 100 visitors a day. 

2 % of 100 = 2 sales of £10 = £20

Now let’s say that you increase your traffic to a 1000 visitors a day.

2% 0f 1000 = 20 sales of £10 = £200

Hopefully that shows the importance of a high rate of traffic to a successful site/blog. The beauty of the example is that it’s rather a modest figure. The site I use to reach this high level of traffic is Traffic holder. What traffic holder provides is not only a high level of traffic to your site/blog, for a very cheap price, but you can also sell traffic which can prove very lucrative. I began by using profit from traffic sold to buy traffic, but as my earnings as gone up, I can bank over half and use the rest to buy traffic. In essence I’m getting high levels of traffic for free .

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that if you want high rates of traffic through your site every day, you need to be on the first page of Google. The big question is how? Well there’s no set way unfortunately, but if you follow this guide you will be there or there about. 

Ranking high in search engine results for certain keywords is sometimes really difficult, but if you work hard and choose the right ones you should be able to get on Google’s first page. First of all you will need some related keywords to your website or blog post and you will have to focus on them. To choose the right keyword you can use a keyword selector tool. Once you have chosen keywords that you are happy with, you can use a keyword difficulty tool. What this tool does is quite simply tells you how difficult it is to get on to Google’s first page with your keywords, so use it to find relevant keywords with to your site/blog that has a low difficulty rating. Of course these kind of tools are not precise but they will give you a good idea and aid you to improve your key words. 

Once you have optimized your keywords, the next step is to set up some good backlinks. You can buy links or make some link exchanges, but make sure that the backlinks are content related to your website. 

I use this free top search engine ranking tool to check my blog ranking on Google. 

I hope this helps. I’ll sign off by saying that getting your site/blog on the first page of Google won’t happen over night but if you work hard at optimizing your keywords and setting up linkbacks you will get there.

I have spoken about Google AdWords before, but I thought I’d go a little more indepth this time. Having used AdWords for 7 months now, to profitable results, I strongly recommend anyone interested in making money on the internet, to try it. AdWords is free to sign up and you don’t need a website/blog because you set up ads that are listed on Google search engine results and as AdSense on websites, that match what you are advertising. For people new to the affiliate market, it’s a good place to start because all you have to worry about is setting up an ad. that will entice people to click on it, then hopefully sign up to the product/site you’re promoting. Here’s my guide to using AdWords:

1. Register with affiliate programs that pay well. Look at my featured links for a few that I use.

2. First, you’ll need to sign up for an AdWords account. Go to the main AdWords site and click the button labeled “Click to begin”. The sign up process is quick and simple.

3. Once you’ve created your account it’s time to set up your ad. First step is to fill in a form, that will determine the title, body text and URL of your ad. Next step is inserting the keywords. Choose keywords that you think are most relevant to your product. Type in some keywords, and use the “Keyword Tool” on the right hand side of the page, to get suggestions from Google. Finally, set up how much you’ll pay per click (it can be as little as 1p per click) bearing in mind the more you pay the higher up the listings you’ll be. The knock on effect of that is, more “click throughs” and ultimately more affiliate sign ups.

4. Once it’s all set up it’s a case of sitting back and waiting. Google AdWords updates regularly with a wide range of stats. Keeping your eye on the stats will allow you to revise your ad to get the best results.

Just to give you an idea of possible profit, here’s an example: You pay 10p per click and your ad gets 200 clicks, it will cost you £20. Your affiliate program pays £50 per sign up and it’s a fair assumption that for every 200 clicks you will get at least 2 sign ups. Bottom line of it is, every 200 clicks you make £80. If you can get your click rate up to 1000+ a week I’ll let you do the maths. On a final note I’ll just say keep tweaking your ad to get the best results.

I’ve been earning money on the internet through affiliate programs for a while now. As with everything it starts slow but if you put the work in it will soon grow and believe me you will be over the moon with the return. The other factor to success is choosing the right affiliate program, so I’m going to be posting reviews on just some of the programs out there. Here’s my first:  Huge traffic is an American affiliate program that covers Fling.com. If you haven’t heard of Fing.com, it’s an adult dating site that was launched in 2006. As you can see from the site here it’s a very attractive and well designed, so if people are looking for those types of services there more likely to go for fling rather than the not so attractive competition. That factor alone spells high conversion rates (as long as you put your affiliate links in a place they will get high traffic). I probably should have started with how much they pay per referral because lets face it when signing up to a new affiliate program it’s the deciding factor. Well you’ll be please to know that they pay $35 per sign up and a whopping $200 per webmaster referral which is a fantastic price just for someone signing up to their site from a link with your code in. Not only do they pay well but they also have one of the best stat manager’s that keeps you constantly up to date with hits, joins and earned. This enables you to optimize your earnings, for example if you aren’t getting many hits you need to move your links to a location that will get more traffic through. It’s free to join as are all affiliate programs. Many people think affiliate programs are to good to be true or a con. I can assure you that their neither. Look at it this way, making that much a sign up does seem like it’s too good to be true but they make a lot more than that for each sign up. So they can afford to pay you $35 for your efforts. With regards to being a con I’ve never signed up to a program that has failed to pay and you don’t have to hand over credit details etc. So it’s all very safe. 

As affiliate programs go Huge Traffic ticks all the boxes. Promotes a product in demand, pays (very) well and keeps you up to date. If your looking to start making money on the internet through the affiliate market this is a good place to start. Take a look for further information Huge Traffic

There is an affiliate money making method that thousands of Internet Entrepreneurs use which requires no product, no stock, no Website and no huge investment of time or money. Advertising affiliate programs using Pay Per click (PPC) advertising such as Google Adwords is very easy and no strings. The key to success is finding Affiliate merchants that pay well and have products that are in demand. Here’s a list of some of the best paying affiliate programs:

Adultfriendfinder(18) Click Bank Nasty dollars(18) Revshare Rewards (18)

* The affiliate programs with (18) after them are adult sites so if your easily offended please don’t look. All I will say is sex sells so if you want to make a lot of money there worth looking into.

Quite often Affiliates promote these links by creating a website and putting there links on it which I’ll be going into in depth in future posts.

What the smart Affiliate marketers do is create an ad using a PPC ad that costs very little money per click. This ad links directly to the vendor’s sales page with the affiliates unique link (this tells the vendor it was you that sent them). If the visitor purchases the product at this time or shortly afterwards you the affiliate make a referral fee.
