Dear Sava Alexandru Stefan,

Below is some information regarding your matched.co.uk account.
Please read this information carefully and, if necessary, carry out any action that is requested.

MATCHED HAS CLOSED
==================

It is with much regret that we announce that Matched.co.uk has closed.

Matched has been running as a beta experiment for some time and, after much careful consideration, it has been decided not to progress the project to the next stage.

As a result, Matched will not be accepting new sign-ups and will no longer be assigning adverts to its current publisher base.

If you completed your last payment run before November 19th 2008, you will still be paid, but please note that no future payments will be made after this. Therefore, we recommend that you remove any Matched ads from your websites.

Thank you very much for being part of the Matched.co.uk experience and we wish you the best of luck for the future success of your websites.

Thanks,
Matched.co.uk

As you can see I received 52 pounds which I converted to US dollars and I ended up with $96.18.
Ah … but the best thing that happened is that this is the first time I manage to request 2 cashouts from PayPal in just 1 day.

As you can see I cashed out my Matched.co.uk payment and some leftovers I had in my PayPal account ( $33.52 )

Cheers friends, I will drink a beer for you to

If your blog has a high Google Page Rank you can take these great opportunities over $100.
Imagine getting $150 for 200 words on your blog ? You’d like that won’t you ?

I don’t have tips for PayPerPost. Just make sure you submit your blog to the correct categories.
If you have more than 1 blog you can add the rest after you have 10 approved reviews.

I already made $128.70 with just 12 posts. I think it didn’t take more than 70 minutes to write all the reviews.
And if you don’t believe me here’s a screenshot with a part of my PayPerPost account.

You will get paid for each post after 30 days. I will get my first payment in 6 days or so.

Sign up and make money with PayPerPost.

Today I wanna tell you about TNX.net.
I use it because I like that you can sell up to 4 links on each page of your website. If your website has 5000 pages you can sell 20.000 links and get paid for each of them.

If you don’t use it yet you really should. After signing up with TNX you have to add your website(s). Adding a website is very easy and just a few details are needed: website URL, description, it’s category (try to see which category from TNX fits your website best), average amount of pages you already have and the average amount of visitors and the language it’s written in.

Once your website gets accepted all you have to do is to add their code. I prefer to use the code which uses a cache folder on your website. This way whenever your website is loaded the ads are read from a text document on your server and the loading time improves.

Here’s what I managed to get so far:

I signed up at the end of March 2008 and you can see that my first payout was on the 31 March 2008.
In just 1 month and a half I made exactly $75.07 and I still have about 44.000 TNX Points in my account which is the equivalent of $36.95.

Here’s a screenshot if you don’t believe me

Google AdSense is the program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website – with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.

AdSense delivers relevant text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. And when you add a Google search box to your site, AdSense delivers relevant text ads that are targeted to the Google search results pages generated by your visitors’ search request.

There are a lot of websites out there that sell a list of the best paying keywords and other stuff like that.
Don’t ever buy one.

If you want to succeed with Google AdSense you need to do the following:

• Create an ad and make sure it’s colors blend in nicely with your current site theme.
• Try to make your visitors see the ad (read below).
• Write at your best to make your visitors come back.

If I create a Google AdSense ad for Sava dot name I would place it at the top of the sidebar, make the ads background the same as the sidebar background and the ad color would be white.

To make the visitors see the ad you need a little jQuery magic. Take a look at my other blog ( Sava’s Place » Blog ).

As you can see there are 2 adsense ads above the fold which load 1 second after the other. Placing that loading animation and the content going down to make room for the ad will surely catch the eye.
Did it catch yours ?

Make sure you also use AdSense for Search and Referrals.

To make things a lot easier add URL channels.

This way you can track things easier. You can add a page from your blog as a channel and track the performance of that single post.
You can add up to 150 URL channels and I think it’s more than enough.

What do you think of my tips? If you have a tip you would like to share add it as a comment. If it’s good it will be added to this post with the corresponding credits.

Kontera offers in text adverts like the one in the picture below:

I really like the idea because you have a much better click-through rate now that the ads are part of your content.
And yes, you can use Kontera along with Google Adsense, WidgetBucks and other Money Makers.

There are some things you have to do to improve your gains from Kontera.

Right after you sign up and your website (blog) gets approved, you need to contact Kontera staff and ask them to increase the number of ads that are shown. And of course you can contact them in case you have more than one blog and ask them to review them. If the other blogs are accepted you will receive the javascript code for all of them.

The only tip I have is this: your Kontera ads should have the same color as the existing links of your blog.

Kontera should be used as it doesn’t interfere with your other ads, doesn’t take up space on your layout and the ads can open up in a new window ( look for this in their Knowledge Base).

Happy earning

You get paid to write reviews on websites or products. It’s really easy and you get 10$ for 100-200 words on your blog.

The hard part is getting offers before others so you get more money.

I wrote a script called ReviewMe offer notifier which send an email whenever a new offer is available on the website.

You can download it from Sava’s Place » PHP/MySQL Web Scripts.

You need to edit the script and enter your own RSS URL from the My Account Page in ReviewMe.

Click on the highlighted link, get the URL you are taken to and make sure you enter it in the configuration file of the script.

You will have to add a cron job every 30 minutes so you can get notified about new offers.
If you don’t know how to use cron jobs I also wrote a tutorial.

I never missed an opportunity with this script.

So … if you want to make some more cash from your blog you can signup for ReviewME.
Enjoy and good luck.

First of all … do you really want to make money from your blog ?

Not all people that own a blog are eager to make money from it. Blogging is supposed to be a passion, your own journal, a way to get in touch with people all around the world.
If you thought it over and you want to monetize your blog you have to know that there are a lot of websites you can earn money from by showing ads or posting reviews.
I made a list of all the ad networks and affiliate programs I use.

You can view the list by going to my Recommended Money Makers.

They were chosen from a lot of ad networks and work best for me. Of course you have to try others as well and see which one is better for your blog.
I will also make a post for each money maker I mentioned to describe it better and of course some tips to increase your experience and earnings.

Stay tuned
