Yep, its true today my friend CobraCRK told me that he got paid, he even gave me a cool printscreen from his paypal account.

I’m really glad he got paid, 1,200$ is a great amount of cash for a month. For the next month probably his earnings won’t be as big because the origin of the traffic on his site is only in a small percent US traffic.

What am i talking about here? I’m glad that he got paid…the question now is: WHEN WILL I GET PAID? lol, hopefully before Christmas(extra cash is great before christmas :D )

If you too got paid feel free to post a comment.

When Widgetbucks announced that starting from 15th of November clicks coming from users outside US/canada won’t be charged and that those users will be redirected to MPIRE’s homepage (the company that ownes widgetbucks) lots and lots of people who have websites/blogs with small US/Canada traffic got really mad and started cursing and stuff.

What they didn’t realize was that they can earn big bucks from the people they refer(you get 10% of those publisher’s revenue who sign up using your ref link) and without having a website which has a big % of US traffic.

Recently Widgetbucks introduced CPM ads for international traffic. If you have a high traffic website this is the opportunity to earn great cash.

Earn $$ with WidgetBucks!Now lets get back to the refferals: After signing up you will get a unique refferal code, and you will be able to access the refferal tools page from where you have the possibility to choose from one of the advertising banners or to create your own text link.

Choose one of the banners and place it on your web page/blog(put it sitewide, that way it will have more exposure).

After thats done create a custom text link and add it to your signature on every forum you are active, try to come up with a catchy slogan so that people will want to sign up.  Who knows? Maybe someone who has a HIGH US traffic website signs up on your ref = $$$ for you

The traffic on my blog is mostly from Europe, only about 30% are from US so using widgetbucks ads won’t earn me some good money, BUT i added a textlink to my signature on digitalpoint and on webarea and already quite a few people signed up on my ref, there are some people who earned way over 1000$ till 15th of november(new stats will appear on 15th of december) so that means i earned way over 100$ wihout even moving a finger.

Take this advice: If you sign up for an ad network make sure you take the maximum that it has to offer!

You probably read on forums or on blogs or heard that you can’t get constant traffic from Social Bookmarking websites. That is absolutely NOT TRUE!

You can get constant traffic from social bookmarking websites you just need to work you ass off to achieve your goal. Don’t expect that after posting a few stories to Digg to get thousands of visitors to your website. You need to constantly submit your articles to as many social bookmarking websites as possible.

Don’t make the same BIG mistake that most webmasters do when they decide to submit their stories to social bookmarking sites. Don’t submit to each and every social bookmarking site you know, there are thousands of them on the www. Make a selection, submit only to those from where you are certain you can get traffic.

How to select which social bookmarking sites fit your niche:

Submit about 3-5 stories to social bookmarking websites and check the refferal statistics. I highly recommend you use Google Analytics or Statcounter (statcounter has real-time tracking feature) Wait about 3-4 weeks and compare the stats, check from which social bookmarking sites you got the most traffic from. Select only those! The rest is worthless to you and is a waste of time, focus only on those that bring you most of the traffic. Once you selected that group of social bookmarking websites that fit your niche constantly submit blog posts, BUT make sure you only submit quality articles, readers APPRECIATE quality.

If you do this right you have a good chance to get constant and returning traffic from social bookmarking sites, even get more traffic than from Google. Thousands of people use daily the search option at social bookmarking sites.

Propeller - make friends on propeller and you will certainly get a good amount of votes, even get the possibilty to get to the front page.

DIGG - get as many fans as possible, submit quality articles and you willmake it to the top, if your story gets to the main page your traffic will be propulsed sky-high like a jet plane.

Technorati & del.icio.us- submit each and every post to your favorites, grow your technorati authority and increase your blog’s value.

I recently realized that proxy business can be really profitable,  about 2 weeks ago i bought 5 domains and bought hosting  for 3 months and paid 20$ for email promotion thats totally somewhat around 100$, in these 2 weeks i made 64,7$ from the sites…almost reached my investment’s value. I’m thinking of buying 10 more domains, and see what happens.

I know some people who earn around 2000$ pure profit from proxy networks(100+ proxy sites). Thats like free cash, it takes you like 2 days to setup the sites, around 2000$/year for dedicated hosting, and about 700$ for the 100 domains and max 500$ for advertising them. Thats max 3200$ investment for a year, and earning 2000$/month thats 12800$ pure profit yearly…gets you dreaming doesn’t it? While you sit home or you are on a vacation the money keeps rolling in by itself!

Building a proxy network doesn’t take much time and it can be really profitable. How to do it?

+ Simple, buy about 15 .info domains that suggest that the website is a web based proxy like to contain one of the words sneak or hide or proxy or any other word related to proxy.

+ Get a cheap host that allowes proxyes and gives you lots and lots of bandwidth. You don’t need much space, bout 30 mb is enough for 15 proxy sites, but you will need atleast 100gb bandwidth(think of the future also)

+ Get a proxy script like phpROXY or CGIproxy or zelune and set it up on all of your sites, they are free, meaning it will cost you 0$ and a little time to set them up

+ Download a free ADSENSE ready template and add your ad code to the template. Check out www.hide.dap.ro for an example.

+ Start promoting your proxy network, submit your proxy websites to toplists and mostly to www.proxy.org . Proxy.org can bring you lots of traffic. You might want to put a top bar to all of your proxy websites with a dropdown ist where people can select different proxy sites from your network

+ Place comments for friends/people on myspace/hi5/facebook or any social networks, get people interested in your websites, make up a catchy slogan so that they will always remember it

+ That’s it! You are all done, now sit back and relax and watch how the revenue will steadily grow and grow

 ”Which one is the best” - Many people ask this question. What is the answer? - both! ….well depends how you take it. There are many factors that determine which one is the best for you. Some people earn a lot from PPC ads, and some people earn a lot from affiliate marketing. You just need to go round it and figure them out. Once you have done that than you have chosen the side: PPC or Aff Marketing. You completely need to understand its ways and modify your web page to suit its requirements (for example: if you choose Affiliate marketing then get visitors who are interested in buying products. In affiliate marketing there is a strict rule: To win, you need to invest. Most people who earn from Aff Marketing use a CPM/CPC advertising program totarget the buyers and blast their income, those people who earn from ppc ads publishing  try to get big traffic and include the ads in the site’s design that way to be sure that the CTR will be high and the earnings the same.
