Give freebies to your readers

After writing a post on the importance of dofollow blog commenting in SEO, and checking forums and googling a lot, I have come to a conclusion that many of the webmasters are paying for dofollow blog lists. I even visited a thread in DP where a person(well settled in SEO business) was offering a list of 25 high pageranked dofollow blogs for a fee of 5 dollars.
That means that a dofollow blog list is in high demand for linkbuilding and the quest for a good pagerank.
Well, I have got an idea, which you can take as a tip, give freebies to your readers. Well, in the coming days I will be creating my first free ebook to thank all those who visit this new blog. It will contain a list of dofollow blogs with stats(pageranks and alexa and other stats) which you can then use for your linkbuilding campaign. Thats the way I can thank you all. Hope this little hardwork from my side will reap me some traffic.

How to make money from home by commenting on dofollow blogs

For the past few days, in order to boost the How to make money from home adventure, I have been studying Search Engine Optimisation and Link Building and many other things related to SEO.
One such thing related to SEO is 'dofollow' and 'nofollow'.
Actually these two terms are important when it comes to search engine rankings.
You must have read on many blogs that 'This blog is dofollow' or 'You DO I FOLLOW!' Now when they mean that their blogs are 'dofollow'? They actually mean that you, as a visitor and your blog can gain some link love from their blogs. In other words 'One way back linking'. One way back links are very important as far as Search Engine rankings are concerned and helps in traffic growth thus helping to make money from home.

How does your blog benefit from dofollow blogs?
Simple! The search engine spiders(robots) crawl each day for some new content on blogs and when they crawl such dofollow blogs(I assume them to be indexed well in the search engines), they crawl through the comments too. If the comments contain your blog links, then the bots obviously crawls through your links and thus you get some page rank juice from the dofollow blogs.

But, if it is gonna be one way linking, then why do such blogs do follow your blog?
The answer is that this encourages visitors like you to stop by and comment on the posts of those blogs. To avoid spamming they mostly enable Comment moderation.

Why do some of them use 'nofollow'?
Now as you know, many of the high page rank blogs offer to place text links in their blogs for some fee. These links are also called 'Paid links'. Google discourages selling text links. The reason for this is that bots of search engines like Google crawl through such links, thus helping them rank higher in search engines. Hence Google encourages the use of nofollow tags in the hyperlinking.

How to make your blog 'dofollow'?
For bloggers who use blogspot.com, to make your blog a dofollow blog you need to remove the nofollow attribute.

• Go to your blogger Dashboard.
• Under the Layout tab, go to Edit HTML
• Check 'Expand widgets'
• Search for the following code

  rel='nofollow'

• Remove this code however times you search it in your template.
  
• Save your template.

Now your blog is a 'dofollow' blog. I would recommend to enable Comment moderation so that your Comments don't get spammed by spammers.
Best of Luck for your Link Building mission and making money from home and don't forget to comment here. This blog is dofollow. You will get a link back from this blog if you do so.

How to make money from home by placing google ads under the post title and in the post footer

I have seen many websites where Google ads are placed somewhere down the site, into the footer or some isolated place in the sidebar or somewhere in the header and so on. Such sites have a low CTR(click through rate) and hence they don't earn the money that they deserve for their hard work.
The most visible areas of a site, mainly blogs are its contents or posts. So how will it be if the google ads are placed right beneath the title and above the content or in the post footer?- yes! These are the most visible places and many of them have experienced high click through rates after placing the ads in these positions and learnt an easy way of how to make money from home.
I have been playing with my template for the past few days and in the process learnt many things. Today I am going to share with you how to place your ads, may it be your Google ads or your Chitika ads or Adbrite or any other ads in such places which are more visible to your visitors.
This tutorial is going to teach you how to place your google ads right beneath your post title and above the contents of the post.

For this you need the following tools:
1)Computer(kidding!hehe!)
2)Online Code converter

Now do the following:

1. Login to your Adsense account and go for ad setup, set up your ad according to your like, I recommend the large rectangle layout(336x280) for ads as it contains 4 links. I also recommend you to design the colors of the ad as it will match your template colors.
   
2. Once your ad is setup and ready for use click to get the code for it.
3. Use the code Converter tool at eblogtemplates to convert your code to XML format which can be easily parsed by Blogger templates. The reason is that the code generated by Google adsense is in the Javascript format.
   

Now backup your existing template by clicking on 'Download Full Template' since if you mess with it you can revert to it any time later.


Now in your "Edit HTML' under 'Layout', check 'expand widgets'.
The next thing you will do is search for the following code in your template. You can use CTRL+F.

<div class='post-header-line-1'/>

beneath this line paste your converted code you got from the Code Converter.
Now save the template and check your blog.

After I did the above I saw the following on my blog.

You can see the ads between the title and the post content.

Now because according to Adsense TOS, you can place only 3 google ad codes on your blog, only 3 of your posts will be having the ads on your homepage, the rest of the posts will show a white space between the title and the content. But as mostly, the search engines send your visitors to your internal pages, so I don't think there's going to be a problem. Remember you can place 3 ad links too on your blog along with the 3 ad boxes.

Another visible place where you can get more clicks for your google ads is between the post content and the comment form or the comments, in other words, at the end of your articles or in more simple words 'the post footer'.

This can be achieved by the same method above. You just need to find the following code in your template.

<div class='post-footer'/>

And then paste the google ad code you converted by the Code Converter right beneath this code.
Your ad will appear beneath the post content but above the Comments.

My suggestion is that to maximise your earnings and to cope up with the Google adsense limit of 3 ad boxes, you can place Chitika or Adbrite advertisements(or any other ad code which can be simultaneously placed with Adsense ads) in the post footer.

Feel free to ask questions and I will also appreciate feedback from you my dear readers.
Hope you learnt another way of how to make money from home.

How to make money from home-An Experiment in SEO

Your site is ranked on top search engines according to the volume of keywords repeated on your site. If you stuff those keywords between 15-20% of your total content there is a high chance of ranking higher for those keywords.
I read someone mentioning this and thought how can it help this site. As you all know that I am competing for the keywords 'how to make money from home' and from the above screenshot you can see that there are already 171,000,000 competitors for this keyword, more than those competing for 'how to make money online'. Now to rank higher for this keyword, I need to stuff up my posts(in other words 'optimize') with this keyword, stuff it up with my titles and so on, which is surely going to trouble my reader's experiences but will increase my rankings on Google. 15-20% is surely going to kill my reader's experience. But I think that repeating the keywords just twice in a post can also help my search engine rankings. So, I won't fill 20% of my posts with the words 'how to make money from home', but will repeat it just twice in every post. Surely, it will be an experiment to check whether such efforts can take this site to the first page or not.

When I searched for this keyword on Google, I could not find any of the sites, at least on the first page , containing the keyword on their sites. So from now on my every post will contain this phrase-'how to make money from home' for which I have a good chance. What do you say?

Get paid to post at Postparker and Ezihippo

Today I was searching for more income streams for boosting my earnings, where I came across some paying sites.
The first one which I am going to introduce to you is Postparker which is a simple paid to post forum still in its initial stages. The admin of the forum promises to pay 1 to 7 cents per post according to the quality of the postings you make to the discussions. Postparker is a sure competitor to Mylot in earnings but lacks entertainment quality which only Mylot can offer. The payment is done through paypal with the payout being $10. They are going to pay through Moneybookers soon. The best thing about Postparker is the referral system, where 30% of your referral earnings are paid to you. That means if your referral reaches his payout of $10, you get $3 in your account...passive income! The forum is new and has only an odd 2500 members right now, so chances are that you may get many referrals from now on, supplementing your income.
The banner below is my referral banner and clicking it will sign you up under me. So, if you want to help Junkamania, then please join by clicking the banner.

Another site which is a social networking site and seems to be a competitor to MyLot is Ezihippo, which pays to you to actively participate in their discussions, uploading pictures, rating pictures, etc. It is by some people rated better than MyLot due to their even better entertainment quality and better payments. I am a member there but not an active one, so I don't yet think of promoting it unless I am part of it. You can check the site http://ezihippo.com.

June summary of Junkamania

It is the begining of a new month and its sad to tell you that June was a bit slow and this blog was not updated like it should have been. For that thing I do apologize and look forward to do regular updates from now on.
The past month was a special month for me as well as my blog.
For this blog:
1)Quality posts.
2)Two authorities from Technorati
3)A guest post to a friend's blog with a backlink to this blog
4)Technorati ranking jump by 3,00,000 spaces(still can't believe it!)
For me:
1)Got my B.Sc. degree in Mahematics(not related to this blog!hehe!)
2)Gave a shot to writing at Triond and Bukisa.
3)More sources of income found for this blog.
There were some bad things though like the contest started a few days ago did not have a success so I had to remove the widget. That might be because of the following reasons:
1)Site is indexed but not ranked.
2)There was no prize money.

Though this post should have been more of my income summary, I however cannot post any progress in my income from this blog, but should tell you that earned anywhere around $2.00 which is not a good amount I know!
However looking forward for your participation and support.
Cheers!
