SEM/SEO

I have been a web designer since 1997. A web developer since 1999. Started blogging in 2003. Started doing SEO in January 2005. Started monetizing my websites in December 2005. When it comes to monetizing websites, I started out with ad publishing., then affiliate marketing, then link selling, I then started doing info-product selling as well.

Then while browsing around the Internet, looking for places to exchange links with, I came across a blog that was about SEO. This was just a month after the Isulong SEOph SEO contest started. Sometime in July, way before the new SEO contest Ituloy AngSulong which has just started.

In this blog, which I can no longer remember the URL, had a post about PayPerPost and has a small image banner as well. I did not even bother to read what his post was about. I just saw the banner that said “Pay Per Post.” That alone explained everything. And first thing that came into my mind… now how easy it that? Easier than PPC, PPL and PPA. Next thing I wanted to know, is this for real and is not some crazy hoax out there. And I found out, it was real. Right now, I have already received a total of $492.23 and will be receiving $174.50. And what I am going to do with the money? Well it goes back into other Internet marketing campaigns, buying links, ads, etc. Isn’t that cool?

PPC – Pay Per Click

For the advertiser, they pay nothing, until their ad is clicked. For the publisher, they get paid everytime an ad is clicked. One of the most popular is Google Adsense. There are many good stories of people earning big in Adsense like Shoemoney and Markus of Plenty of Fish. There are also other people selling how their success with Adsense was achived like John Reese. But there are also numerous people that are barely making a dollar a month. One thing people must understand is it takes time to earn big in Google Adsense, but if you want to make it big at the soonest possible time, start now every if you have no plan on how to do it yet. Just start with a website now and start learning from there. It is a long journey and the earlier you start, the better. But one of the problems you must be cautious of is click fraud. Advertisers do not like it and publishers can get kicked out of the program even if you are totally not responsible for what Google calls it “invalid clicks.”

I have been earning through adsense that started with $0.13 in December 2005 and increased to $1/day since April to July 2006. August and September seem to be lower earning months since my clickthrough rates have decreased by 50%. Still small and not yet like the high earners in the business.

PPP – Pay Per Post

For the advertiser, they pay nothing is no one post their ad. For the publisher, they get paid simply by blogging about the product or service of the advertiser giving your own review or opinion. It really will depend on what type of post the advertiser may want. PPP is relatively new, that started with PayPerPost.com and not much success stories are out there yet, but yours truly has made $149.22 in a week spending only 30 minutes a day. I can probably even earn more if I do this full time and I just do this in my free time. The more you want to earn, the more you have to post. And for every post that is approved, is already like sure money and you never have to worry about click fraud.

I know there are some other there earning way more than me in PPP, and my first month here was in July, where I earned $156.50, then $172.51 in August and $149.22 this month and this month is not even over yet. And one thing about this is for every month, I only did PPP for about 1 to 2 weeks since I was a bit lazy. I guess this is not bad for the blogger. I blog all the time, theH might Es well Aet paidfor wha@ you poAt. Manypeople Iut therA blog tJeir hea@ths outand theI are paId nothiHg.
