Worried about High Bounce Rate

I have 2 blogs. Blog 1 has 45% bounce rate! A good hallmark for my blog. Blog 2 however has 85% bounce rate. This means that my blog 2 is not doing a good job. And I am worried on how keep it down.

First of all what is Bounce Rate? This definition comes from Google Analytics.
" Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page."

High Bounce Rate could mean...

Mismatched keyword and content. I got some searches from a keyword that my blog does not have.I've checked on them and it actually got 100% bounce rate from the post and has an average time of 1 second.

Unclear navigation and crappy blog design. In this case,I think I don't have this error. My blog 2 loads faster and has a user friendly environment. When visitors get confused they tend to leave the website for good!


Technical Problems on blog. This is a free hosted blog, I never had experienced technical problems.

What should I do?

I am working on my blog now. I think I have problems with my keywords. I am gonna rework them.

Content is king? No it's traffic

Quality content is useless without quality traffic. Traffic bring in sales and leads and  quality traffic generates revenue for you. I have 3 blogs. Blog 1 has 2000 visitors a day, blog 2 has 50 visitors a day and blog 3 having 200 visitors a day. Which of the blog making me the most money? You might be thinking it is blog 1, but it is not. It is blog 3. You see, income depends on the quality of traffic and of course on the product that you are selling. So talking about traffic, I have listed my top 5 traffic sources. Here they are.

1. SEO and Search Engines
Majority of my traffic comes from Google. I ranked 1 on some sort of targeted  keywords and phrases which brings in 70% of my quality traffic. How did I do that? I build a lot of quality one- way link from related sites. My other blog also got 1000 pages. Do not just create 10-20 pages. It takes time to make a thousand pages but think about your blog as long term business.

2. Article Marketing
Write short articles related to your site and place keyword links on the resource box. That way you get strong backlink plus visitors who may click on the resource box. Now where to submit this articles? One of the best is Ezine Articles. It works for me. Just try it.

3. Pay Per Click Advertising
This might be expensive but it is the quickest way to get quality traffic. Google Adwords, for me, is expensive. If you don't like to use money then just skip this step.

4. Social Media Sites
Nothing new here. Facebook, Twitter, Linkdn etc. bring in traffic. I have make Facebook to its full potential in creating quality traffic. I created a fan page and it brings me huge traffic. Most of the traffics here were temporary but It will bring you leads overnight. Do not also forget the power of YouTube! Create videos and have it watermark with your link.

5. Email Marketing
I actually suck at this and I actually pay someone to do it for me. Collecting emails is such a pain. But I learn a tactic on how to do it. Give free reports with exchange of their email addresses. That way you get repeat visitors. You can bombard them any offers you want. And oh don't be a spammer. That would make them unsubscribe. Write in your email viral messages, detailed information and make it at least once a week. That way you are making some bond with them and they might recommend you to their friends or co-workers.

That's it.  That was my top 5 traffic sources. How about you? Am I missing something important here? Tell me. I am interested to learn =)

Choosing the Good Domain Name

Let us talk about how to choose a good domain name. But as you can see, this blog has no domain name. Maybe you will ask me why am I teaching you how to choose a good domain name when my blog doesn't have one. Okay guys, to tell you the truth I think I have no plan to buy a domain for PC Holics. And here are the reasons.

• I am poor, can't afford buy one.
• I am happy right now with this blog.
• If I buy a domain name, I want hosting too which I can't also afford the monthly bills
• This is a small blog, not a business blog. So I think it is reasonable not to acquire one.

Now that you know,  let us talk about choosing the good domain name for your business website. As long as you start a website, you will have to acquire a domain name specially if its for your business.

So what is a domain name? A domain name is the root part of the address that you type in your browser. Example is www.facebook.com, www.twitter.com etc. And what about the www.facebook.com/home.phpdfffh454545? - Those are now called pages of the address. 

Why Acquire a Domain Name

You need a domain name for the following reasons. It could be one of them.

• You have a business and you have a website.
• You have a niche blog where you earn money from selling ads and or eBooks etc.
• An organization, or any kind of group. Charity group etc.

You may want to consider these also in choosing a good domain name.

• A short name that is easy to spell and that people will remember after they have heard someone mention it on the radio or if they read about it two days ago.
• A name the is built from the nr 1 keyphrase your are targeting with SEO
• A name that does not conflict with trademarks or business names already in use in your target market (or you could lose your domain to a trademark holder)
• A name you want to live with for many years (a lot of your marketing is tied to the domain name)
• A name without hyphens if possible
• A .COM or country specific domain for your business
• A .ORG or country specific domain for your organization

Tips for your Business Website

• Branding is important to your business, so choose a domain name that is short and memorable. If you have long name for your business. Get a domain name with the short version of your business.
• Always acquire a .com or a specific country extension if most of your visitors are coming from a specific country. Example: .com.ph , .co.uk
• Do not use a domain name with hyphens. It would be difficult to remember. Thus, you are losing some potential customers. 
• If you wish to use.net or other extensions like .biz, make also a .com version of them and redirect them to your .net or .biz website. Users are most likely to type .com on the address bar.

CPC Advertising

CPC advertising is a powerful technique used by advertisers to promote their website, services or business. The advertiser will pay a fee base on visitor clicks and not on the number of views as in the case of CPM. CPC ads are displayed the same way as CPM ads. The only difference is on how the advertiser pay for the ad. if you have a website then monetizing it through CPC is better than CPM. 

This is how it works. For example an advertiser would like to promote his SEO service. Then he would bid for the keyword "seo service". When a consumer searches for the keyword and then sees the ad made by the advertiser, chances are he might click it and will be directed to the advertiser's website and probably made a sale.

The most popular and the best of all the CPC ad networks is Google Adsense. What makes it popular and the best CPC ad network is that it has many advertisers and is available internationally. Other top choices are Yahoo! Publisher Network, Bidvertiser, Chitika, Adbrite and Clicksor. 

CPM ads - The oldest type of website monetization

CPM stands for Cost Per Thousand. You will put banners on your website and then the advertiser pays you based on your traffic not on visitor clicks.

I can say that CPM ads are the most effortless type of monetization and the least  feasible type because CPM ads had low rates. You can only make money from them if you have high website traffic. CPM ads pays you as low as $0.05 per thousand impressions which means you need millions of impressions to earn a decent amount of money.

There are CPM ad networks that pay as high as $12 per thousand impressions but the traffic and quality requirement is also high. CPM ad networks also pay for pop up and layer ads. But such ads are irritating to visitors so many webmasters are not willing to put them on their site.

These are example of CPM ad networks that are good. Some pay CPM only and others also pay on CPC.

• Advertising.com
• TribalFusion
• CasaleMedia
• ValueClick
• Adbrite
• Adtoll
• Right Media
• Burst Media

Links - Another Important Item in SEO

I am talking about links. Last post was about keywords which are definitely the most important item in SEO. Now why links are important? Having links is a part of the algorithm of the search engines. Even if you have perfectly chose your keywords without quality and quantity of links, your site will not be discovered and spidered by search engines. 

Two types of Links in SEO - Inbound and Outbound

Outbound links are links coming from your site and leading to other site while inbound links; sometimes called backlinks,  are links coming from external websites leading to your site. Backlinks are important because it is how the search engines measure the popularity of your site especially Google.Of course there are good and bad links.Good links are links coming from authority and legit sites. Bad links are links that came from link farms and other suspicious places. You can acquire backlinks by buying them but consider free methods of acquiring backlinks unless you aimed to rank on top of search engines.

Anchor Text

This is the most important item in backlink. Anchor text are the exact text where the link starts from. Example: Make Money Online. It is the keywords that you click and then it points to another site. 

Bad Practices to be avoided in Building Backlinks

Here are practices you should avoid in building backlinks to your website. Keep in mid that these bad practices will destroy your sites reputation on SEs and will get your site sandbox! 

•  do not purchase too many links - you can get your website sandbox if you purchase a thousand links in a day.
• avoid outbound links to bad sites. It will destroy your reputation on Search Engines because these sites are disliked by the SEs
• do not participate in exchanging links.There are three reasons why you should not do this. First is you are not sure how long will your link appear on other sites. Second, the context the link appears may have been changed by the site owner. It is suspicious if most of the links from your site are from link ecxhanges.
• always balance the ratio of inbound and outbound links.

Keywords - The most important item in SEO

are Keywords! Keywords are actually the strings you type when you make a search on search engine. So if your site is optimized with that keyword. Most likely, your site will appear on the search results. So it is really important that you optimize your site with keywords. Seems easy huh? But it is not.

Choosing the Right Keywords

The search engines are so much populated with millions of  websites. Maybe you can rank your site with one-word keywords but you cannot maintain your ranking because a large number of websites will replace your site. So using two-word or three-word keywords will be of much help. Here are the tips that I could share  in choosing right keywords. 

• choose keywords that are related to the contents of your site
• include also keywords that most people use on your site 
• use synonym keywords, often users use keywords as such but mean the same thing
• expand your main keyword by using keyword tools

You can use Google's keyword tool or the Website Keyword Suggestion Tool to look for keyword suggestions for your topic. There are two things you should remember in choosing keywords. The relevancy to your site and the number of searches a month. You may also want to take advantage of narrow searches.

Keyword Density

After choosing keywords, you must make your site keyword rich without keyword stuffing. The idea of the keyword density is that it is the measure of relevancy of your site. The recommended relevancy for 2-3 keywords is 3-7%  and 1-2% for minor keywords. You can check your keyword density using Keyword Density Checker.

Where to Put Keywords

• URL and File names
• Page Titles
• Headings
• Special places

Keywords in the URL, File names, Page Titles and Headings are more important than keywords inside the page. Your site may have same keyword density inside pages compared to your competitor but having the keywords in these sections is of large difference.

Understanding Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the most technical thing for every webmaster. This is so true because SEO helps in the promotion of websites and requires fair knowledge on basic HTML etc.Generally, we can describe SEO as activities that make a website search engine friendly, thus making the website rank in higher position on the search results of the search engine.

I am not a SEO expert. The reason why I want to blog about SEO is simple; to learn and master SEO. Upon reading some articles and ebooks about SEO, here is the basics that I've learn about SEO.

• Even if you do all the activities in SEO it does not automatically guarantee  you a high search engine ranking.
• Setting realistic goals like being the top 50 on a popular keyword is more satisfying than aiming for a ranking on the first page of the search engine.
• SEO can be a 30 minute job or can be a permanent activity. If you rank first on a keyword with low competition then I can say that SEO is only a 30 minute job. 

There's a lot more but I won't be posting them all. We will tackle that on later posts. What we are going to do now is to know how Search Engine works and the difference of the Search Engines. These are the fact about how the search engine work.

• Search Engine crawl websites using a software using a"crawler" or Google-bot as in the case of Google. 
• The spider follow all the links and index whatever they found on the way
• Spiders cannot spider every website everyday. Sometimes it will take a month so your SEO efforts won't be notice immediately. 
• Crawlers are not humans so they cannot see movies, flash, etc. They see only text based. You should use a spider simulator to check you website. 
• After crawling such pages, it will be indexed and will be stored on a database.
• Last step of the job of the search engine is to display the content on the browser from the most relevant to relevant websites and it is endless

Although most of the Search Engine's operation are the same, there are minor differences about them like:

• Yahoo tells the importance of websites by the on-page keyword factors
• Google tells the importance of your website by links
• Google loves older websites than newer ones while on Yahoo it is not a big deal

These facts may or may not change as time goes.Doing SEO is difficult these days than on way back 2003 and that what most webmaster says. It is easy to rank on the first page way back 2003  compared at present.

The one step SEO technique to improve your blog's traffic

Before I teach you how to do it, let us have lesson on SEO. There are two types of SEO. The "on page" optimization and the " off page" optimization.

On page optimization refers to the keywords on your post titles, header tags, title tags and etc. This way you have full control on how well your blog is optimized, especially on Google.

Off page optimization refers to techniques such as link building. The more links that is pointing to your site, the better your rankings on Google. The number of links pointing to your blog represents the importance of your blog om Google. Say for example blog A and blog B with the same niche. Blog A has 1000 links pointing on his blog and blog B has 500 links pointing on his blog as well. Who do you think will be shown on the first page on Google? In addition to off page optimization, it is not only the number of links that is important. The actual link text (anchor text with a link to your blog) is even more important. Example of an anchor text is this. Click Here  

So now you understand the difference between on page and off page SEO. But what we are going to do now is the on page optimization. We will change a little bit on your blog's template. Do you notice on Blogger, when you post, the Blog name is displayed before the post title. Google have it backwards so let us change it. 

1. Go to Blogger > Layout > Edit HTML

2.Search for this code in the template <title><data:blog.pageTitle/></title>. I


3. Replace that  code with the following code:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;index&quot;'>
<title><data:blog.title/></title>
<b:else/>
<title><data:blog.pageName/> | <data:blog.title/></title>
</b:if>


4. Save your template. And your done!

Here is how it will look after. Notice that the Blog name is now displayed after the post title.

All of your posts is now more optimized than before on Google. 

What's your ultimate reason in blogging?

To be honest, I am not interested in blogging at all last two years ago. I hate writing, I hate reading, I hate lots of work to do. I see blogging as only an online book when I try to search for something online. And just copy paste the articles and submit them to my professor.Then one day, things just changed.

I was in search for financial freedom. I googled for make money online and learned that It was possible to earn online. My very first attempt to earn online was PTC sites. Then I've learned that most of them are scam so I search and search. From PTCs to GPTs, paid to search, paid to receive emails, etc and now I can't believe I am blogging for money. 

If it was not for money, I am not here today. And of course, my second reason was to learn. I blog to learn. When you blog, you also read other blogs and learn from them. I guess most people blog for money. Although blogging is not easy as ABC and 123s, people try their luck(include me) just to earn. Blogging provides passive income unlike other money making methods. That is why blogging is so popular. 

How about you? What is your ultimate reason in blogging?

Then the Workers(the one who will do the job) finish the jobs and earn money. The jobs are called "micro jobs" because the jobs are simple and is easy to be done.

Still not making money? Read Here! Easy Method

I pity you for still not making money online. LOL. Just joking. Anyway, this is the easiest method ever! And if still you can't make anything with this, better stop, think and reevaluate yourself. The time you will be needing is only 5 mins with automation or 5 hours a day. So here it goes.

1. Get yourself a CPA account. If you don't know a CPA account is, stop reading. You can use the site below to look for load of CPA sites. 

http://www.offervault.com

2. I know you love Facebook so much. This time we will use Facebook but not your personal account. Create one or two other accounts. Add friends up to 5k-10k. How to get 5k-10k friends? Easy, just join as many groups as you can. Then post on the wall saying something sexy like " I'm alone tonight " or just "Hey boys". And oh I've almost forgot! Make your profile picture a sexy one. Like sunbathing on the beach. Use your imagination. Perverts will add you up automatically, trust me. Wink wink.

3. After having such number of friends, you are now ready. Pick a CPA offer from the CPA site you've joined. I suggest pick health products or gadgets. 

Note: Make sure you've read the restrictions on the offer. It will be stated there where and how you can promote your offer.

4. Join big groups and pages on Facebook. And start posting offers on the wall. Or you can make it more sexy again. Example " Wow! I can't believe I lose 10 lbs this week with this product! " You get the attention of the fat people hehe.

5. Post at least 30-40 every hour. Also post on active groups. But keep an eye on your posts. You don't want to annoy them spamming.

Done! You should be doing something now. This method also works on ewhoring. Happy earnings! 

6 SEO Myths We Should Know About

Well, this is only a summary of what I've read from a forum. I hope I get it well delivered unto you.

1. Social bookmarking websites helps you get PR. (True if the site is do follow. False if it is no follow. No follow sites only help you in getting indexed faster.)

2. Using blackhat method will make your website sandbox. (True but you can always escape this. How? Get some backlinks on authority sites like Squidoo, Ezine Articles, Hub Pages..etc..then you can spend some time doing blackhat.)

3.Google don't know about my backlinks if they don’t appear when i search link: mysite.com. (False! Google does't show all links. Google only show links that give you great link juice. You can view all your links on Webmaster Tools.)


4. A blacklisted website can no longer recover. (False. Ask a re-review of your site as soon as you finished fixing it.)


5. My site is not indexed by Google, that means it is sandboxed! (False! Google have not discovered yet your site or have visited your site but not indexed as Google is not indexing every site it visits.) 


6. No Follow links are of no use. ( False,they are helpful if they contains your anchor text but of no use in seo if there is no anchor text although you may get some traffic.)

The $42k a month autoblog

This is BS!

Facebook is serving 400 million users with style on its 6th birthday

Facebook is celebrating its 6th birthday and is now serving 400 million users and still rapidly growing. Last two months Facebook hits 350 million users. It took two months for Facebook to have another 50 million. On the other side, Twitter has 18 million users. So far away from that of Facebook. I watched CNN and saw people interviewed about twitter.Twitter is just not so popular compared to Facebook. 

Facebook launches its new design. Few days from now 400 million users will have the new design. I've already have it. With the new homepage, you can view your messages, add friends and see notifications, view photos, groups and other stuffs without ever navigating away to another page. It has more emphasis on search. In fact, the search bar is on top of the homepage. Also Facebook apps are place on the sidebar. You can open them without navigating away. It was usually on the bottom left.

Facebook's new design offers easy messaging. You can view and send messages in drop down menu at the top without again leaving the homepage. Also your  IM contact lists is moved to left sidebar. 

Step by Step Guide on Autoblogging On WordPress

It is a no BS guide. This is another super spoon feeding guide on how to create autoblogs. And this time it is on WordPress. And if autoblogging is not your game, then stop reading this.This guide is not for people who hates autoblogging. This is the basic method I use in autoblogging in WP. My first autoblog was sandboxed actually last year. I would like to thank  shylesson for posting this guide on BHW.

1. Create a folder on my desktop that says "100 blog setup" (yep it really says that)
2. Create a folder in that folder that says "plugins"
3. Create a folder in that folder that says "themes"
4. Create a txt file that says "important information" in the main folder
5. Create a txt file that says "blog_logins" in the main folder
6. Create a txt file that says "emails" in the main folder
7. Create a txt file that says "twitter logins" in the main folder
8. Add the robots.txt to my main folder:

Sitemap: /sitemap.xml

User-agent: *

Disallow: /wp-content/cache/

Disallow: /wp-content/themes/

Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/

Disallow: /wp-admin/

Disallow: /wp-includes/

Disallow: /wp-login.php

9. Create a txt file called "pinglist" that holds your pinglist [duh]
10. Create a folder in the main folder called "keywords"
11. Create a folder in the main folder called "completed themes"
12. Create a php file in the main folder that is called "functions.php" and contains:

<?php

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )

register_sidebar();

?>

[This is because some of the themes you choose will not be widget ready and you will want to make them widget ready later on]

13. Go register your domain names, and setup your hosting account etc. IE. Get a domain, configure your nameservers, and login to your account[s].
14. Setup blogs on your first 3-4 domains using Fantastico in your cpanel.
15. Copy the login information and paste it into your "blog_logins" file.
16. Open your ftp client and add the 3-4 sites to it [assuming different hosting accts]
17. Go to your first site, click on the www, and add the robots.txt to the root index
18. Go to wp-content then delete the plugins folder. Replace it with your plugins folder. [oops missed that step--once you set up your plugins folder, put all the plugins you will need into it and unzip them all. Remove the zipped files. The files I use for basic autoblog setups are:

About Me widget

19. Login to the blogs [use a tabbed browser and have them all open]
20. While you are ftping your files to each of the blog's plugin folders, go to Settings--> Writing and turn on your XML-RPC publishing options if you want to use BlogSlammer! with these setups.
21. Go to Settings--> Permalinks and set your permalinks to Custom:/%postname%/
22. Go to Posts--> Categories and create about 6-7 if not more categories. The more, the better.
23. By now at least two of your blogs have their plugins installed. Go to them. Select all. Activate all. Update any out to date ones that you missed. Then activate the other two blog's plugins too.
24. Go to Settings-->Max Blog Press ping optimizer and activate it by putting your name and email address in it. Copy and paste your pinglist from your pinglist file no less into the box, set the settings to where it will only post 1 time every 120 minutes or more or less in order to control excessive pinging.
25. Go to Tools--> WP Videotube and click on the link at top that says "here" to edit your template. Delete the {video_description} line and edit your height and widths to around 320*230 [just some arbitrary numbers here, but you need to reduce the width of the videos as they will overflow on some templates; you only need to do this part of the step if you have a plan to use such a theme].
26. Configure CC under the Settings--> CC link
27. Go to Post --> CC Management and run it at least once per blog so you have some content on your site to play with while editing your themes/widget/codes.
28. Go to themes and choose your theme and activate it. **You should have ftped these earlier too but I forgot to tell you =P***Edit the files of your theme with your adsense pub numbers if applicable to your theme
29. Go to widgets and edit your sidebars. You will want to add your global translator, text, tag, and recent posts in the very least, but mix it up from blog to blog by adding different others ones too. For the text one, use it to put adsense in your sidebars. I use the Old Adsense Code Generator from here:

for fast code generation.
<--Use next step before the above step if you find that your theme isn't widget ready-->
30. Click on sidebar.php and at the top where it says <ul> begin the list of one of the sidebar contents and add this line right below it:

<?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')

|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>

Then find the close tag and add this right above it:

<?php endif; ?>

Then edit the functions.php to include this:

<?php

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )

register_sidebar();

?>

And if your theme does not have a functions.php, add the one you have in your 100 blog setup folder to it via your ftp client. **As some themes have two sidebars, make sure that you are putting that line above the proper sidebar's end list else your theme will be messed up.

31. Go to Settings-->global translator and adjust the settings so they look better in your theme as it sometimes does not look right.Try the div option first, and if that does not work, go to tables option with the option to show 5-7 flags per row.

32. Go to Settings-->Sociable option and configure those options the way you like. I take it a step further and only have a few key main ones and then adding random others to mix it up...cause yes I am weird like that. I usually just blind click these cause I don't really care about the sociable options really...

33. Go to Settings--> Adsense and configure your adsense settings. I put min to only show the 300*250 and 468*60 ads in the top left or top center parts of my posts with around 5-7 pixels of space. I then look at the themes and see if it will look better with ads not showing on the front page and click that option if it does. Otherwise, just save. To make picking the colors easier, just open up Themes-->Editor in another tab and view the css file for the color scheme or the file that contains the add units if they are adsense ready themes and use the colors from there.

34. Go to Privacy Policy and configure to your liking. I don't like the links on them, so I update my first options to show no links. Then I have it generate a page for me.
 35. Go to SEO Post link and activate the settings there.
36. Go to UAW and configure the options there. I always add custom div titles and click all categories EXCEPT THE UNCATEGORIZED. Activate it.

37. Go to CC and finish finding more content. For what categories you cannot find content in, go to the Tools --> WP Answers and setup campaigns for your other categories [add to the ones you did find content to for more content on those if you want to as well].

 38. Go to Tools --> WP Videotube and add a few video posts [I find that videos attract a lot more visitors] across 3-4 categories. ***MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE USING ONE HOSTING ACCOUNT TO HOST A LOT OF BLOGS THAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO HOW MANY PROCESSES YOU HAVE RUNNING AT ONCE....at least that is my theory (http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...-thinking.html)

39. Go to Settings--> YARRP plugin and configure those settings the way you want.

40. Go to Settings --> Platinum SEO and configure it with a title, description, and keywords that you should have generated from w/e keyword generator you use while doing steps 1-39 but I forgot to tell you too. I use KW Elite most times.

41. Go to Twitter Tools and add your login info to the twitter accounts that you created with your awesome twitter account creator (or manually...) that I forgot to tell you to do but you can still do at this time (man, what a run-on!). Save those details.

 42. Change your blogroll links to referral links on clickbank or other products/programs. 43. Once you have a network setup, interlink your blogs with posts and links in the post titles as well as in different posts posting to different posts.

44. Drive traffic to your sites/link build. I did do this before and only slowly started lately, but it does help with traffic.

45. Rinse and repeat with your profits. =D

99% Step by Step Autoblog Setup On Blogger

This guide is the most easiest guide on building autoblogs on Blogger. This guide is a spoiling post on how to set up such autoblogs. No domain names and paid hosting required, no single penny spent. Other people think that they need to spend some bucks just to setup an autoblog. Although paid autoblogs exists, you can do it on your own.

How to Setup Autoblog

1.  Navigate to Blogger.com. Log in your existing account or you can simply log in your Google account. Well, if you don't have one just register.

2.  Create a blog with your account. Customize them a bit to make them look legit; change the template, put privacy policy page, etc..etc..One thing you should not put is the About the author or anything that make visitors contact you. Autoblogs are occasionally ban if they are REPORTED. So don't put such things.

Note: To make your autoblog searh engine friendly, you can SEO optimize them; research keywords, use keywords as your blog url, use keywords on your blog title, etc.

3. After creating a blog go to  Settings > Email & Mobile. Create an email that you will use as "mail-to-blogger" email. This should look like this:  yourbloggername.whateveryoulike@blogger.com. Then under the settings click the "Publish emails immediately". What ever is sent to the email will be posted on your blog. Are you getting the picture? 

4. Find blogs to subscribe with. What you do is to subscribe to a blog via email using the email you just have created on step 3. Every time that blog publishes a post, it will be also automatically posted on your autoblog.

Drawback

*  Duplicate post

* Dirty post. Why? some blogs that you have subscribe just doesn't fit your autoblog. They are sending only summaries and bunch of links. This happen every time. So you must choose a good blog that you will be subscribing. I recommend blogger blogs. Or blogs that uses feedburner in subscribing via email. Post are not dirty but another problem is the title. The title of your post will be the blog's title. For example, if you subscribe to my blog to create an autoblog, every time I post, it will also be posted on your autoblog. And every single post will be titled PC Holics!.

Where to subscribe ?

Do you hate mailing lists? If you do, now you will love them so much! You must subscribe to mailing lists! Why? 90% of the time, the emails are created by the bloggers. So most of the time you get unique content. But mailing lists are limited, in fact they only send you 2-4 emails a month just to keep on subscribing. No problem! Just subscribe to couple of mailing lists. Subscribe to 2 or 3. 

Done! your first autoblog is perfectly running! Now create more autoblogs! Create 5 autoblogs in one account. This will only take you less than an hour set up. Autoblog is  number game. Create many of them now!

On my next posts, I will be covering how to promote these autoblogs into nearly set and forget situation. Also i will be posting on how to do it on WP. so stay tuned!

What is an Autoblog and How do it works

A lot of people were asking what is an autoblog all about, how it works, how to do it and how to make money from it. Do you know that autoblogs can make you lots of money as if you are having a regular blog? Especially if you have many of them. What we are talking about here was an "automatic blog" not a blog for cars or autos.

So what is an autoblog?

An autoblog is a blog that automatically generates content. Most of autloblogs are in WordPress Platform because of the plugins that can be use to generate contents. But you can also create a Blogger autoblog using some scripts. The plugins or scripts do the work; writing contents, posting videos, photos etc. You set the blog and forget it.

Why do people create autoblogs?

People create autoblogs to make money online. They monetize it through Adsense or any other CPC networks. You can also monetize them using affiliate offers. Autoblogs are also used in backlink building. Autoblogs are easy to set up, imagine having a thousand autoblog and imagine how many backlinks you can get. People create autoblogs to drive traffic to another site. Some autoblogs rank good in SE, and now you get the point on how to drive traffic.

How do autoblogs get traffic?

Autoblogs are usually set and forget. You set it and forget it. If you created your autoblog using WordPress, you can use plugins to submit your contents to social bookmarking sites and SE to get them index. Your traffic will come mostly on search engines. But you can also pay for some backlink building services if you wanted to.

On the next articles about autoblogs, I will teach you how to create an autoblog on WP and Blogger. Some tips and tricks on autoblogging and some legal issues to talk about them. So stay tune!

How to Earn $50 a day Cashout on Neobux

First and foremost, I've read this strategy on PinoyMoneyTalk and I just wanted to share it to those struggling to earn on Neobux. And if you haven't heard of Neobux before, it is a get-paid-to-click website which pays you dollars clicking ads on the network. This website is the most real paying ptc site. And this guide teaches you to earn real money with it. Here is how.

1. Register and account first on Neobux. Also have a Paypal or an Alertpay account. This is where you will receive your payments.Click the banner to get one.

2. After successfully registering, you are now ready to click ads. As a standard member, you are eligible to click 4-5 ads a day which costs $0.01 per click. Multiplying that in one day its $0.01 x 4 = $ 0.04 and in a month that is $1.2. But your earnings doesn't stop there. Refer friends to click and earn even more. Referral clicks costs $0.005 per click.

Example earnings with referrals and a standard account:

Standard account(4 clicks x $0.01) + 25 referrals($0.005x4 clicks) = $0.54 per day! 

But how do I get Referrals and Earn atleast $50 a day?

This strategy is for the ones who don't invest money. 


Note: You can invest using your verified Paypal account if you want to rent  more referrals. 

1. Click your ads until you reach the balance of $3. Why $3? Usually you can rent 3 referrals for $0.75. The reason why it is $3 is that the referrals you will rent sometimes are inactive. So you can use the remaining balance to recycle the referrals and don't lose your money. Recycling costs 8 cents and keeping a referral for a month costs 30 cents.

2. Transfer the $3 on your renting balance and Turn the autopay on. Instead of you paying for the referral, they pay for themselves as long as you have autopay turned on. What it does was to subtract one of the advertisements your referral views each day and puts it towards the 30 cents that referral needs to stick around for another month. So you get one less penny from each referral, but they will be your referral as long as they are active.

3. Don't cash out too early. Just rinse and repeat the method. Keep renting referrals by increments of 3 until you reach 500 referrals. Painful? yeah but its worth your time. Maintain the referrals that are active and if you reach $100 upgrade to a golden account. Golden account earns you double per click. 

4. Don't cash out at all until you reach 2000 referrals and you will now earn $50 a day! 

Remember to never cash out until you reach your referral goal. Just like blogging it will take some time to earn with this. But it is worthed!  Take it seriously if you want to earn.

Google PR Update last December 2009 Inaccurate

I think Google's latest PR Update was on December and I am sure it is inaccurate. Why? Mark,a member of the PMT forum, shares his accomplishment from the latest PR update that time. He announced that he has a PR of 3. The posts that followed after Marks' also reveals their websites PR and everyone has a good PR ranking except....me!

Mark's PR was 3 and the others were 4. And mine was 2 despite of my efforts in link building with dofollow blogs with high PR. Then I began to wonder.  So I've checked on their sites stats. And I don't find their sites having links with high PR sites.

The others are also  not sure of this PR update. This is from Yellowminded

I'm not sure about this new PR update. I have a blog that zoomed from PR 0 to PR 4 but I have not even done much link work on it while my other sites with decent backlinks were demoted a notch or two. Lol. Oh, Google. I expect that there will be another "corrective" PR update pretty quickly...

Other blogs that are only less than a month old achieved a PR of 3. Its a wow. If you want to view our full discussion about it you can head on to this topic.

My Blog has now a PR of 3

MyBlogLog is Closing this January

MyBlogLog is a famous blogging community. MyBlogLog was founded last 2005 and was bought by Yahoo in 2007.Yahoo bought MyBlogLog for $10M . And now Yahoo is shutting it down. There is no specific reason why Yahoo will shut down the site but according to what I've read from other sources, its traffic is decreasing overtime so Yahoo has no option but to shut it down.

Yahoo have killed Geocities and now its MyBlogLog. What is next to be killed from Yahoo?
