Never leave your ads at the default color, never use borders, your ads must look like a part of your body and not like an ad. Thats it for now.

write as much content for your site as possible. Or pay someone to write it. Leave in some misspells too. typos can bring in some good traffic

Maybe we could put all these tips in an ebook, sell it online, and split the profits

Tip: Don't have page <title>s like this:

My Blog: Some topic
My Blog: Some other topic

Instead, either ditch the repetitive prefix, or add it to the end, like so:

Some topic from My Blog (or)
Some topic : My Blog

It helps with rankings and preventing, in some cases, Google mushing your pages together. I noticed a boost in referrals from Google (about 20% jump, and has remained consistent) when I did this a few months ago (on a very well established PR 7 site).

I have tested this over the past year or so and found it to be very true. My largest site is a seasonal site so I can tinker with things like this. Putting your name first is great if you want to rank great for your name. Most likely, nobody is searching for that though. Be very specific when choosing page titles. I tend to leave my site name out of them quite often.

And misspelled product names. I was top result for a Dell product name, but I'd accidentally put two letters around the wrong way (e.g. ABC123 instead of ACB123).. turns out a lot of people were searching for the wrong one, and if there was an affiliate program for that product, I could have cashed in

My tip is to find a method for making $1 a day, and repeat until retired

Do something!

So many people spend so much of their time learning everything they can about a new moneymaking trend that they miss the boat.

Even if you are brand new to marketing on the Internet, spend a couple of nights doing some heavy research and then just do something! It doesn't have to be a big move or an an expensive one, just as long as you attempt to do something that will generate money for you.

Here is a tip: Dont be a loser

**jerome2900** · 07-22-2006, 09:38 PM

Yeah winnertakesall, some of us just find ourselves spinning in circles from information overload and buying every scheme that comes on the market when all we have to do is stop, and just do something...but thats the hardest part.
