How to SEO your website in 10 steps

By Sheeraz Ali

Learn how to SEO your website in 10 steps and be on your way to higher rankings within minutes. This quick start guide includes links to my well known how to SEO your website guide which covers the process in much more detail should you need it.

Step 1 : How to SEO your domain name
What	Your domain name is something like www.nameyouchoose.com
How & Why	If you haven't registered a domain yet look for one that contains at least one of the keywords you want to rank for. Avoid Exact match domain names. If you already have a website established consider skipping this, it's only for an ideal world.
Example	www.bicyclesmytown.com is better than www.franksbicycles.com
More	For more detail skip to how to plan your SEO works.
Step 2 : How to SEO your URLs
What	A URL might be something like www.yoursite.com/thepageiwanttorank.html. The part we are talking about is thepageiwanttorank.html. In WordPress it is known as the 'permalink'.
How & Why	Your purpose is to help search engines understand the content of the page because they place weight on the content of the URL and to make your page look more attractive in the search engine results. Your URL should match the page title but you can strip 'dead words' out of it such as "and", "or", "the".
Example	Good example: If your page title is 'bicycles for sale in mytown' your URL might be bicycles-for-sale-anytown.html. Bad Example: A URL like page.php?product=bicyclesamp;town=anytownamp;transaction=forsale.
More	For more detail skip to how to SEO your URLs.
Step 3 : How to SEO your page titles
What	Each page has one title and this can be found: within your HTML code tags <title> and </title> are usually the post title in WordPress but can be edited if you have a plugin such as SEO for WordPress by Yoast.
How & Why	Your page title tells search engines what your content is about (and they will believe you if the content matches) so you should be looking to get one or two of the keywords you want to rank for in here. The page title is also the blue text users click on in the search results of Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. so it should be interesting and engaging to encourage visitors to click through. Every page on your site should have a unique title of no more than 70 characters (or it won't show fully in the search results).
Example	example: If you were trying to rank for "successful website" then the title 10 steps to a successful website would be better than Things to make your site more popular because the former a) contains your keywords and b) is more attractive to users when seen in the search results.
More	For more detail skip to how to SEO your meta tags.
Step 4 : How to SEO your meta description tag
What	Each page has one meta description tag. In the HTML code it looks like this: <meta description="The description of the page" />. In WordPress the first 170 or so characters are taken from the post but you can edit this if you use a plugin such as SEO for Wordpress by Yoast.
How & Why	Every page should have a unique meta description of up to 190 characters which provides a summary of the page. Meta descriptions often show as the black text in search results so they should be attractive and motivate internet users to click through. Meta descriptions are ignored by search engines but as they can appear in the search results optimizing them is essential. If in doubt use the first 190 characters from the pages visible content (not including the title). Do not list keywords or go far over the 190 character limit.
Example	Sticking with our 'bicycle shop in anytown' the home page meta description might be: "We stock a wide range of bicycles for sale and we're open 7am to 7pm daily. Find us on the High Street, anytown, call us on 0800-1975-765 or order online 24/7/365. Low prices guaranteed".
More	For more detail skip to how to SEO your meta tags.
Step 5 : How to SEO (or not) your meta keyword tag
What	If you have these you will find them on each page: within your HTML written as <meta name="keywords" content="keyword one, keyword two, keyword three" />. in WordPress there is often a field called "keywords" for each post or static page.
How & Why	If you have keyword meta tags get rid of them. They are ignored by search engines and only assist your competitors in knowing what you are trying to rank for.
Example	None - don't do it!
More	For more detail skip to how to SEO your meta tags
Step 6 : How to SEO your keyword density
What	Your keyword density is the percentage of times the keyword (or phrase) that you are trying to rank for shows in each page. So if one of your keyword phrase is 'bicycles' and this appears twice in 100 words of content your density is 2%.
How & Why	Keep your keyword density for each word or phrase between 2 and 6% in order not to appear spammy and to ensure your text is easy to read. Be aware that the major search engines understand different words that have the same meanings such as 'car' and 'automobile'. Make sure your keywords appear naturally within the main text content of the page.
Example
More	Note that in the field of SEO keyword density is a hotly debated topic ranging from those who see it as essential to those who believe it is of no importance. See the blog post Does keyword density matter in 2013? for more information.
Step 7 : How to SEO your internal links
What	Internal links are any links within your website that take the user to another page within your website. The text within the link is known as anchor text. For example <a href="myotherpage.html">This is the anchor text</a>
How & Why	Whenever possible make your link text (rather than a graphic) and make that text descriptive (see examples below). Where you have no choice but to use 'click here' or 'see more' consider changing them into graphics so their text is ignored and then use the title tag within the link code to be descriptive.
Example	If you are linking to a page about 'bicycle wheels' use 'bicycle wheels' as the text of the link, not (for example), 'click here'. If you look in the box below I have not used click here as the link, instead I've used the title of the page I'm linking to.
More	For more detail skip to How unhelpful code affects your SEO.
Step 8 : How to SEO your code
What	Websites with poorly written code undermine the confidence search engines have in them because they will not be sure your pages will display correctly in all the different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.
How & Why	For websites written in code before HTML5 use the W3C Validator service. For websites written in HTML 5 use validator.nu. Note you may not be able to reduce your errors to zero (some additions such as Facebook can cause issues) but you should look to minimise any mistakes within your control.
Example
More	For more detail skip to How unhelpful code affects your SEO.
Step 9 : How to SEO your visitor behaviour
What	What your visitors do has a direct bearing on your organic rankings so you'll need to understand what makes them stay ... and what makes them leave.
How & Why	Make sure you have Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools set up correctly for your website. Learn to analyse the successful pages and the not so successful pages by considering the click through rates, bounce rates, time on site, exit pages, visitor flow, etc.
Example
More	For more detail skip to User Behaviour and SEO.
Step 10 : How to SEO with link building
What	Links from other websites to yours tell the search engines you are popular so long as they are quality links from quality websites. Ideally the content you create should persuade others naturally to link to you or share your content on social media platforms such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. so always consider your content as your number one link building tool.
How & Why	Do not engage in any link building 'programmes' or software. These are the fastest way to getting you banned from Google. Think quality, not quantity. One good link is worth 1,000 poor quality ones. Remember links from social media such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. count so make it easy for your visitors to share your content.

How To Be Successful in Affiliate Marketing?

By Sheeraz Ali

Affiliate marketing has been one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money online. Many webmasters feels that their earning potential has been going with pay per click programs and the revenue generated according to the traffic they generate is nowhere near satisfaction. Hence, they are switching to affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a way of making money by promoting other’s products or services and earning commissions whenever there is a sale. You do not need to go into the details of buying and selling and neither have to set up a website selling a product. You just promote or rather compel your readers into buying a product or service, and you make money whenever a sale is made. Affiliate marketing works on a commission based referral system where you sign up in an affiliate program and earn through the sales.
Before I tell you how you can be a successful Affiliate, I should mention that just like any other professions of 9 to 5, you will have to work hard and a huge investment of time and efforts will be needed.
Why Affiliate when you have AdSense?
This question is the main reason of webmasters not going for affiliate programs. They have AdSense and they are receiving a check per month. They are earning somewhere between 0.5 – 1.5$ per thousand visitors and its fine for them (at least). But have you noticed the large drop in the Cost per clicks of these programs? The revenue is going down and you hardly see any clicks generated because of people’s banner blindness?
Moreover, you will always have a risk of getting your account banned – if at first place they approve you. One of my friends is having a well-maintained blog with more that 2k visitors per day mostly from search engines and Google denied his participation in AdSense program.
So, if you are banned, not earning much from CPC programs or you believe you should earn more revenue and not satisfied with current situation, may be Affiliate marketing is for you.

How To Become A Successful Affiliate?

1# Niche

Niche is the most important factor that will contribute in your success. Concentrating on one particular niche will be more profitable rather that selling everything. Target a particular audience and stick to specific products.
Evolve around the niche you have build and promote products and services related to it.

2# Marketing

Just like other advertising services, you need traffic. You need to show your presence on social media and in search engines. You need to get targeted traffic and buying traffic won’t help you much. Search Engine traffic is considered highly targeted and you will have to go through search engine practices and optimization practices and market your blog. If your blog is discovered in search engine, that will itself prove that your blog is related to the search query.

3# Research your audience

Providing wrong products for your audience will ultimately lead to your failure in affiliate marketing. You need to know your audience. You should know which category the readers of your blog belong to. This is why selecting a particular niche helps. Someone searching information about XBOX games will have more interest in buying games rather than books and novels.

4# Choose the right affiliate

Webmasters have contrasting opinions about sticking to one particular affiliates. There are several affiliate services available like Commission Junction, Amazon Associates etc. Amazon is so vast that it has almost everything that can be bought.
The point is all these affiliates will work almost the same. Some have a better percentage commission as compared to others. You have to market research before getting into any affiliate program and decide which one is best for you.

5# It will take time

Don’t lose hope. It will take time in earning money from affiliate marketing. Did you have thousand visitors on the day you opened your blog? Certainly no. You will have to market yourself, build an audience, generate traffic and wait for the better results. There are people making five figure income from affiliate marketing. You can also be one.
My opinion: If you are AdSense publisher and you don’t really want to switch to affiliate marketing, you may give it a try in addition to AdSense. Monitor your statistics and improvise accordingly.

Tips To Increase Traffic And Making More Money From Your Blog

By Sheeraz Ali

Blogging needs traffic and bloggers need money from their blog. It’s the TRUTH. I personally receive many messages from my readers asking me:
How to increase their blog traffic?
How to make money from their blog?
Or, how be successful in blogging?
I must say, these are the common issues of all the newbie. Why they are not good enough to make profitable blogging?
Here, I’m sharing my personal experience that will surely help you to solve out these BIG problems.

Generating Traffic To Your Blog

Having the right audience to read your content is must if you want to make money online. You can easily drive massive traffic to your blog by being active on social media sites like Google Plus, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc but there are other most important things to do too that surely you can’t ignore. Let’s have a depth insight.

Edit Your Old Content

Writing daily for your blog is good, but one simply can’t ignore his/her previously written posts. They are also as important to care as the new posts. Look at your previous articles that are not receiving any traffic or say less traffic. Edit them to add more value and improve their SEO score (here you can make use of SEOPressor WordPress Plugin) so that they can perform well in search results.
You can add new life to your old posts by linking them with your popular posts. It’ll give a boost to your traffic and you can convert that traffic to make more money.

Promote As Much As You Can

No matter, how much quality you are adding to your content if there is no one to read that. Internet Marketers should make a plan of blog promotion. If you are putting 20% of your blogging time in writing your blog posts, then you must need to put 80% time in promoting that content. You can start with below two guides:

• Top 4 Non-Nonsense Places to Share Your Blog Posts
• Promote Your Blog Posts While Sleeping

Take a break from your writing process and start promoting some of your previous masterpieces at every possible corner. It’ll give more royal readers, subscribers, followers to your blog.

Look at Your Blog Quality

Everything needs maintenance and same is with your blog too. Try to improve your blog quality. Simply writing content can’t make your blog successful. You must need to care about it’s performance, look and feel.
Figure out the issues that your readers are facing while exploring your blog. Do you have huge number of broken links on your blog? Do you have a crappy blog design? Look at your blog from the reader’s eyes and try to improve it as much as you can.
You can ask directly to your readers where they are getting problem while reading your blog. Ask them on your facebook fan page and fix those bad areas of your blog and make your readers happy

Make Money Out of Your Blog

Why only writing if you can’t make money out of it. Stop investing your all the time in just writing your articles. Make a schedule and plan to work on your money making strategies too. There are lot of ways today for the bloggers to make profitable blogging. Let me explain few of them:

Affiliate Marketing

If you missed our previous post, then I must recommend you to go through it first to learn how to be successful in Affiliate Marketing. It’s the best way to make money out of the box for internet marketers.
Start looking some useful products and promote them among your audience. You’ll see a steady growth in your earnings from your blog.
You can sign up to ClickBank and Commission Junction to avail affiliate marketing.

Sponsored Reviews

Making money by writing articles and publishing in your own blog is really a coolest way I have ever found. If you don’t know what does sponsored reviews means then let me tell you that it’s all about reviewing other’s products or services to increase their brand awareness and sales.
You’ll get decent money by writing sponsored reviews to your blog.
To start with this money making concept you must have branding of your blog like better Alexa Rank, Page Rank, Domain Authority and Powerful social signals. I can’t stop myself saying it again that take a break from your writing process, and start promoting and improving your blog.
You can Sign up to sites like SponsoredReviews, ReviewMe, PostJoint to grab some sponsored review opportunities.

Start Providing Your Own Services

Tips To Increase Traffic And Making More Money From Your Blog

 How to Monetize A Blog Without Spending A Dime?

How to Monetize A Blog Without Spending A Dime?

How to monetize a blog and start making some real money online?
We all know that there are so many ways to make money from blogging, but most of them are outdated and won’t work now.
So I won’t be sharing them here, instead, I’ll give you some real ways to make money blogging. Let’s get into it.

How to make money from a website?

Google AdSense: Hands down, Google AdSense is still the most effective way to monetize a blog. But it can give you decent money once your website is getting massive traffic.
Let’s say you are getting 1,000 visits a day, you can easily expect 200$ to 300$ a month by leveraging your blog traffic. Place your GA ads wisely to get more clicks. After all, it’s all about more clicks – more money! You can follow this method to increase your Google adsense earnings.
Note: If you don’t have Google Adsense account approved, then you can try Infolinks as it is a best Google Adsense alternative.
Banner ads: If you are not interested in placing Google AdSense ads on your sites, showing banner ads is the finest way to make more money. Use Buy sell ads services to post your blog details. If your blog is receiving potential traffic, you will get many opportunities from other people to place their ads on your sites. You can contact to some big brands in your niche for direct advertisement. It’s one of the profitable method to earn from blogging.
Product reviews: I know few people who are making $100 to $500 just by publishing 2 to 3 product reviews a month on their blogs. Posting product reviews is the effective way to make money from a site. If your website has loyal readership it works like a charm. You can charge $100 to $500 per review depending on your site.
Blog services: If you are a beginner and have a passion towards selling your skills, this is definitely for you. You can sell your writing services, logo services, theme creation or plugin generation services on your blogs to make money.
The good thing about this monetization model is, you don’t need huge traffic to make more money. But you do need quality exposure from the RIGHT people to take your services. The more clients you have the more money you can generate each and every month.
Affiliate marketing: Want to make money even while you sleep? Affiliate marketing is the right choice for you then. But you do need to have some skills to sell others products on your sites. Remember no one likes to buy stuff from strangers. So according to me if you have an email list of hungry people you can make lots of money from affiliate marketing. Patience is the real key in making more money from affiliate marketing.
Sell your own products: If nothing works for you to make money online, sell your own products. It can range from selling eBooks, information products, plugins, themes etc. It totally depends on your skills. Figure out where you are good at. Are you a better writer, developer or speaker? Launch your products after analyzing your skills to maximize your revenue.
Making money on design creation: Even if you don’t have any products for selling you have possibility to make money on design creation anyway.
For example, create a design production using online constructors and resell these production to clients. Another profitable way is using special tools for design creation on your site.
Online logo generator Logaster has a special widget for logos creation. Webmasters can put it into website and then every visitor will have possibility to create their own logo directly on website. Partners are guaranteed to get a percentage from the sales (40-60%) and future payments of customers who will come from you. You can see how widget works here.

One of the best ways to make money online is to build an email list.
Email list is the way to go if you want to make decent income from your blogging efforts. Money is in the list. If you are not building an email list, you are definitely losing money on the table. Start building an email list from day one of your blogging career.
If you are wondering how to get more email subscribers, this is for you. We will discuss the effective ways to grow your email list. Let’s dive in.
Drive more traffic: No matter how good your offer is, you won’t get more email subscribers without driving quality traffic to your sites. The more traffic you have the faster you can grow your email list, it’s as simple as that. Use guest posts, blog comments, PPC ads etc. to drive more traffic to your blogs or landing pages.
Offer a freebie: If you want to quickly build an email list, give away something for free. Online readers don’t sign up to your sites just because you are building a list. They want a reason to subscribe to any newsletter. So find out your target audience and write specific reports or eBooks for them. You can also give away videos, podcasts etc. The tip here is to make sure your freebie is something worth reading.
Use a best autoresponder: I use and recommend INinbox. If you are serious about building an email list, use services like INinbox, Get Response, AWeber, Mad Mimi etc. Because email list is a business and every business needs investment. I hope you are getting me.
Use landing pages: Blog pages are a big distraction in general. If you want more conversions on your email lists, try using landing pages. Landing pages give less distraction to the users and they often get more conversion rates. You can use the tools like OptimizePress, Premise etc. to build landing pages.
Use effective call to actions: Don’t use the words like “subscribe” “get free updates” etc. on your websites. People are just fed up of seeing them. Use effective call to actions like “Get your freebie now” “download your report” etc. to easily convince your visitors to subscribing to your mailing lists. Be creative while creating call to actions.
Use social media sites: Social media is the powerful way to get more email leads. Social media is only growing bigger and bigger. If you are not spending quality time on engaging with others on social media, you are definitely losing many people visiting your sites. Create Facebook fan pages, be active on twitter and get in touch with other people on G+ to grow your network.
Pro tip to making money online: Before using any monetization model from above, always be sure to test every model one after the other. Don’t try to monetize your blog using all the methods that you come across online. You won’t make even a penny if you focus on every monetization method.
So what are your thoughts on monetizing a blog or website in 2014 and beyond? What are the proven methods that helped you to make money online? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

How to Monetize A Blog Without Spending A Dime?

Infolinks : Best Google Adsense Alternative For Bloggers

By Sheeraz Ali

Earlier I had discussed on monetizing a blog without spending any money. If you haven’t read that post then I suggest you read it now by clicking here.
In that post, I had mentioned about Google Adsense as one of the way to make money from a blog.
But one of my reader who had recently started a blog, got rejected by Adsense twice. After applying third time, he did get accepted but just after few days he got his Google Adsense account banned due to violating one the many strict Adsense policies.
Since most new blogs don’t receive banner advertising, sponsored reviews and have less knowledge about affiliate marketing or selling their own products, they fail to make any money from their blog.
But Adsense is not the end to monetize a blog, there are different Google Adsense Alternatives, which can be used to monetize a blog. One advertising network that has been able to show its mettle over a short span of time is Infolinks.

Blogs who may or may not use Google Adsense, use Infolinks as it’s the best Google Adsense Alternative and an easy way to make money from a blog. The best part is using Infolinks alongside Adsense does not violate its strict policies and can help you make extra income. For those who got rejected or banned from Adsense, Infolinks is must.
Before I discuss something about this best Google Adsense Alternative, let me answer a simple question…

Why Infolinks?

To be honest, it’s the best alternative to Google Adsense and does not have strict policies like Google Adsense does. Compared to Adsense, it’s easier to get approved by Infolinks and always works on benefiting the publisher by bringing in new ideas and methods to increase publisher’s revenue.
Secondly…

What is Infolinks? How is it the best Adsense Alternative?

Unlike Google Adsense, Infolinks does not require any space on your blog to display advertisements. What Infolinks does is it converts some keywords from your articles into a link. When a visitor hovers over the link, an advertisement is displayed and you make money.
Here’s an example…

Infolinks is a CPC and CPM based advertising network and offers in-text, in-frame, in-tag and in-fold ad types. Publishers have the full control on what types of ads can be displayed on the website.
It provides you more power than Adsense itself. If you have many websites, you can monetize all of them with Infolinks once your one site gets approved.
What you saw above was an example of in-text advertising. Listed below are the other types of ads from the stable of Infolinks.
In-tag Ads

In-frame Ads

In-fold Ads

How to Integrate and Display Infolinks ads on your website?

It’s easy to display Infolinks ads on your website. Visit infolinks.com and click on the ‘Get now‘ button, enter the details required and Infolinks will verify your site. You will receive an email from them within 72 hours about approval or rejection. Once approved, you can log into the thoughtful and beautifully designed Publisher dashboard.
Inside it, click on ‘Integrate’ tab. It displays a JavaScript code which needs to be added into your site and start displaying Infolinks ads. If you aren’t familiar with coding, it helps you select the CMS platform you’re using and do the necessary steps required to show Infolinks ads on your website.
Next to Integrate, there’s a Customize tab through which you can explicitly customize the types of ads you want to display on your site.

Awesome! What’s more to know about Infolinks?

Unlike Google Adsense, Infolinks is hell bound on increasing the revenue of publishers by introducing a new way to make more money. On their blog they bring in new offers every now and then which help publishers like us make more money. This is the main reason why I believe it’s one of the best Google Adsense Alternatives for bloggers as Adsense only offers optimizing tricks to its Premium Publishers.

Unlike other advertising networks, this directs us to place their integration code at the end of the website. Due to this, website content is loaded first and later advertisements. So it does not affect website loading speed as Infolinks ad elements are the last thing that get loaded on a webpage. Isn’t this awesome?
Infolinks is great if you receive traffic from US, UK and Canada. For Asian traffic, you might not earn much but if your site gets huge traffic from US, UK and Canada and other European countries, you can expect a good income from it.

Advantages of Infolinks!

Compared to Google Adsense and other Google Adsense Alternatives, Infolinks is…

• Easier to Get Approved and Integration – Google Adsense takes up to 7 days to get approval/rejection status with complicated steps. For Infolinks you’ll be notified within 72 hours and once approved, configuring ads from its dashboard is fairly simple. It’s the best-designed dashboard I’ve seen from any advertising network.
• Doesn’t require Advertisement space – Since Infolinks is an in-text advertisement network, it does not require you to allot any real estate space on your website, thus giving content more precedence over ads.
• Doesn’t affect Website Speed – Infolinks code is placed at the bottom of your website, it does not affect loading speed at all. Infolinks ads are loaded after every element on a webpage gets loaded.
• Payment – Payment is done via Paypal, Payoneer and Wire after 45 days reaching Payment threshold of $50.

Possible Disadvantages

• Less Payment for Asian Traffic – There are many American publishers making over $1500/month by using very few ad units of Infolinks. For Asian traffic it’s not that best as it offers less CPM and CPC compared to American and European traffic.
• Number of Ads – Infolinks allows a max of 12 in-text ad links and other advertising types. According to my experience, using all this ad types can make your site look bad. I’d suggest using only 2-3 in-text links alongside in-tag and in-fold ads.

If you compare the cons of Infolinks with Adsense, there are very few and can be easily worked upon.

Payment Proof

Infolinks has been working for many years and has built trust among different ad publishers. Yes! They do pay on time, which is 45 days after reaching payment threshold. Here is the payment proof of Infolinks.

Conclusion!

There are many other Google Adsense Alternatives but I believe Infolinks is the best.
At last, I want to know your take on Infolinks, if you’re using it let me know your experience with them.

RevenueHits Review: Make Money Blogging Opportunity

By Sheeraz Ali

Summary:

RevenueHits unlike other advertising network is a performance based advertising network. It is a CPA based advertising network which pays around $30 in eCPM which helps you make money blogging. It doesn’t matter what kind of website you have, Revenuehits shows ads/offers depending on the traffic brought by publisher rather than advertisers needs.

More Details

Blogging has become a great career and many people are making huge money from it. Money that comes from blogging not only satisfies their basic needs but also some extravagances, isn’t it?
There are many blogger all over the world who have quit their high paying corporate jobs and now swear by blogging. Some of the bloggers I know make over $1000 even before passing out of degree college. If you’re a blogger you too would know a person like this.
But…
Is it that easy to make money blogging? Is is that simple to learn everything there is to learn (in blogging) and start to make money blogging.
Though the blogging world from outside does looks great and glamorous only bloggers know how hard it is to sustain and every decision they make will either increase or hamper their earnings.
There are many bloggers who do rake in lot of traffic to their blogs but what they earn at the end of the day is just $2-$3. Yeah just that much!
I have seen bloggers who bring in 400,000 views daily but making no more than $10.
So where does the problem lies?
If a blogger is able to bring in such huge traffic why the traffic isn’t converting. Advertising network blame bloggers that they don’t bring in converting traffic and hence do not make money blogging.
Even the countries in which you live in matters a lot, coming from India means less eCPM and CPC, isn’t it?
This is where RevenueHits comes in, which adjusts according to the traffic on a website.
Lets me show you how RevenueHits is totally different from any other advertising network you’ve
ever worked with and helps make money blogging.
Shall we start?

What Is RevenueHits?

RevenueHits unlike other advertising network is a performance based advertising network. It is a CPA based advertising network which pays around $30 in eCPM which helps you make money blogging.
It doesn’t matter what kind of website you have, Revenuehits shows ads/offers depending on the traffic brought by publisher rather than advertisers needs.
Since Revenuhits is a Geo Targeted and Contextual Ad Network, it adjusts according to the traffic your blog receives rather than you bringing in the traffic an advertiser requires.

Is it easy to register with RevenueHits?

If you’ve applied to any advertising network like Google Adsense or Media Ads, you know how hard is it to register and then wait for approval before you can start making money from blogging.
The worst part is you can get rejected too and make $0 for the data you have on your website, isn’t it?
But with RevenueHits that is never a problem.
Why?
Because it doesn’t have any requirements and almost any site under the sun can register with RevenueHits and start making money from blogging from the first day itself.
However if you’ve started a new blog, I won’t recommend going with this network or for that matter any network. If you do have any difficulty in buying a domain, complicated hosting features or want to migrate from blogger to WordPress, you can avail such services for FREE by clicking here.

Design and Interface

If you first visit Revenue Hits website, let me tell you it’s most beautifully thought after and greatly designed advertising network I’ve even seen.

Even the login process is as simple as walking on a piece of cake. Once logged in, you have the most beautifully designed dashboard you’ve ever seen from an ad network waiting for you.

Once inside, RenevueHits redirects you to make your first ad, put the code on your website and start to make money blogging.
How cool is that!

Is it complicated to put RevenueHits on my Website?

No not at all!
Once you’re logged into RevenueHits dashboard.
Click on ‘Placement’ Tab

Select the ad format that you like. Ad format includes Banners, Popunders, Slider, Shadow Box, Top Banner, 158*21 button and Footer ads.
RevenueHits recommends Shadow Box and so do we for high conversion rates and great revenue.
Once you click on Shadow Box or any other ad type you’d want, Revenuehits asks for ad size and description about it.

Though you may skip the description part but it is highly recommended to fill it, so as advertisers understand what is your purpose behind creating a particular ad or where are you going to place it.
Once everything is done. Click on ‘Save’
You can now get the ad code by clicking on ‘</>’ button towards the right. The best part is you even get to preview your ad before you implement it.

How can RevenueHits Pay Me?

This is the most important thing I should tell you. RevenueHits do not pay you on the ad impressions or ad clicks. As I said earlier it is a CPA based i.e. Cost Per Action based advertising network.
Now CPA networks do not pay on impressions or clicks but rather on action that user makes.
Action can be rather anything like visiting a website, user email id or phone number or any such info that advertiser requires from a user but only on users consent.
So you can think that your revenue can fluctuate a lot. Many bloggers based on their interaction on forums say that they make around $50-$60 per day with a traffic of around 10000 and the next day they may make nothing.
Some bloggers using Revenuehits make around $5-$10 per day from first day itself using Revenuehits with a very very less traffic.
But the best part is Revenuehits displays ads based on Geographic location. So if you’re in UK then you wont see ads based on US amazon.
Payment will be rather issued via Paypal, Payoneer or Wire Transfer.
The minimum payout is $50.
To be frank, I am very much impressed by how RevenueHits operate and how this Israeli based advertising network has been able to sustain from 2008 and hold its position.

Will I recommend RevenueHits to my Best Friend?

Yes Surely! Why not? Sometimes I wonder why didn’t I get to know about this network at the start of my blogging career but its never too late for anything and I’d rather enjoy using it.
To be true, no advertising network won’t work if you don’t have high quality converting traffic. As I said, one of my friend having 400,000 visits per day but still making $10 is just because his traffic isn’t converting.
Let me know if you have any queries or question regarding this Performance based, Geo Targeted, Contextual Advertising Network.

I’d be glad to hear from you if you’re already using it! Will love to know your thoughts regarding it.
Have a great day!
