With InfoLinks Related Tags, they make it more possible for us to increase our earnings through the informational tags that we can insert wherever we want. The Infolinks algorithm will choose the BEST and most relevant keywords to your contents and display them within the Related Tags cloud.
What’s good about using InfoLinks Related Tags is you can insert it ANYWHERE within your blog posts or contents. You have full control. For instance, I want to place the Related Tags below this paragraph.
There! All I have to do is insert the InfoLinks Related Tags script wherever I want, as long as I have already integrated the InfoLinks script for my blog (click here for the guide). Below is the code for the Related Tags:
You can find this script on the Related Tags section when you login to your InfoLinks account, as shown below.
Because you have full control over the placement of the InfoLinks Related Tags script, you can make adjustments whenever you want if you think that the current position of the ads doesn’t bring you that much revenue.
Another reason why I like theInfoLinks Related Tags is its layout or format. They’re not in-text links. It appears as a related tags cloud so most of your readers will be more inclined to check out and click on the links. This will greatly increase my revenue, especially on this blog. As I’ve mentioned in my previous post about InfoLinks, they’re my main source of income on Pinay Online Money Maker.
One thing that I would like to see as an additional feature though is a full look customization option for the InfoLinks Related Tags cloud. I also want to control how it looks, the same way as the regular InfoLinks hyperlinks. For instance, I would like to add a border around the Related Tags cloud or change the colors of the links so I can highlight them within my contents. That way, my readers would easily see the related tags. I believe that if given this option, they would be more inclined to check out the related tags.
I have just recently implemented the InfoLinks Related Tags cloud on this blog and I am really expecting higher revenue. I am now in the process of adding InfoLinks Related Tags on my most popular / most read posts here on Pinay Online Money Maker so I will share with you in the coming days how it affected my overall earnings. I have already implemented in-text ads in my other blogs in the past months and I’ve seen big improvements in my earnings so I know using InfoLinks Related Tags will definitely boost my earnings.
One of the many ways I make money online nowadays is through InfoLinks, especially with this blog, Pinay Online Money Maker, because I don’t monetize from the traffic this blog gets. Well, except for the referrals I get, InfoLinks is the main source of income on this blog.
If you’re not yet familiar with InfoLinks, they offer a pay per click in-text contextual advertising and the highest revenue share to bloggers or website owners. What happens is once you’ve integrated InfoLinks to your blog or website, they’ll insert text links within your content. Below are some screenshots of the InfoLinks hyperlinks you’ve probably seen on this blog:
When a visitor hovers or places their mouse on top of the InfoLinks hyperlinks, a floating informational bubble / window will open. If the viewer clicks, they’ll be directed to the advertiser’s landing page and you earn revenue. If the viewer moves their mouse away from the hyperlink, the bubble will disappear.
If you ask me, how InfoLinks work is not at all obtrusive so I don’t think it’ll affect your readers’ experience, especially when they’re just reading your contents. I also set it up in a way that the look of the InfoLinks hyperlinks are different to my blog’s actual links. I’ll be discussing how to do it later on this post so read on.
At the same time as not being obtrusive, InfoLinks is also a great way for you to monetize your blog or your contents because, like in my experience, the ads that show up on my InfoLinks hyperlinks are very relevant to my contents. So, the possibility of a visitor clicking on the ads is way higher, most especially because the links appear within your posts. Your visitors will have a tendency to get interested by the InfoLinks hyperlinks and click on the related ads.
Another thing that I love about InfoLinks is how easy it is to set it up. Let me show you how to do it.
This is the last batch of payments I have queuing on Blogsvertise. So, that means I haven’t received any new paid opportunities for over a month now. I received one opportunity, actually, but, it was meant for US publishers only so I declined it.
Not sure why I haven’t gotten any new paid opps from them. It’s been really slow since April with the paid opportunities. I’m currently working on further improving my blogs’ traffic, so, let’s see if it’ll also affect the number of paid opps I get.
In the meantime, here are the payment proofs from Blogsvertise.
This should’ve been Part II, but, I mistakenly posted the last one first. *LOL*
Requirements & Tips on Getting Your Blog Approved
If you’re still interested in making money online through paid posts, here are a few of the general requirements of Paid Review sites that you need to take note of before you sign up. Make sure you have passed the requirements to ensure that your blog won’t be rejected.
Included in this list are some of my tips to help you get your blog approved as soon as possible.
Most Paid Review sites require that the blog you submit to them has been online for at least 3 months. There should also be a decent amount of blog posts published over those 3 months. Otherwise, you won’t be approved.Please refer to my reviews and guides for EACH Paid Review sites I’ll be featuring here to learn more on how they work and their requirements. That’ll be part IV.
Your blog posts should be of high quality. If all you’ve been doing is writing about posts published by other bloggers or on other websites, you won’t be approved. They need bloggers who write unique or their own contents and not just copies from other people.Same thing applies if you’ve been publishing paid posts from other Paid Review sites. If most of your contents are paid, you won’t get approved. Trust me, they know when your posts are paid reviews.
Your blog MUST be indexed by Google or other search engines. Otherwise, you won’t be approved. Of course, if your blog is not yet indexed, then, the paid posts that you’ll finish won’t be of any value to the advertiser. So, make sure you submit your blog to popular search engines like Google and Yahoo.To submit your blog, click on the links below:
More traffic or visitors, more chances of getting your blog approved. Most Paid Review sites look at your Google PR (PageRank), Alexa ranking or Technorati statisttics. So, try to spend some time building traffic to your blog. You have 3 months, from the time you started your blog up to the time you can start joining Paid Review sites, to do that.Read my guide on how to increase traffic to your blog. I’ll be giving more tips in increasing traffic to your blog after Part IV of this guide so stay tuned!
Avoid too much visual clutter on your blog. Minimize the widgets, images and banners on your blog. This way, your blog loads faster and your blog would look more attractive.
Minimize the ads on your blog. Most advertisers don’t like in-post ads from other ad networks. It’s because their competitors’ links would show up on your post that they paid for. It’ll be unfair to them, so make sure you read the advertiser’s requirements carefully.
Make sure you have a visible Archives list on your blog. Some bloggers prefer a list of categories, topics or labels on their sidebar instead of the Archives or list of actual posts they have published because it’s better to look at. However, advertisers prefer to see an Archives list on the sidebar because they want visitors to see the actual titles of the blog posts you publish since some advertisers want the paid posts’ titles to be related to their website or product.Also, when you have an Archives widget or list on your sidebar, your past blog posts are more likely to be read if the titles can be seen by the readers.
Note: This post may be updated in the future as I think of more tips on how to get your blog approved on Paid Review sites.
