If you are looking own a domain name for your business, please try to use the keyword in the domain itself. I learned this recently after engaging in domain trading industry. Domains with keywords related to certain field can reach higher re-sell value compared to no meaning domain names.

For example, if you are looking for “Health” related domain, try to get a domain like “Helthblog”, “Prohealth”, “healthtips”, etc. The keyword health in the domain will bring more value towards the domain at re-sell value. This kind of names mostly will be longer because most of the names will be in premier section.

You will be lucky if you can get one domain that befits contents. This is for new domain purchasing technique. If we can build good page rank, contents and traffic for this domain, the re-sell value can even reach sky level. Getting traffic, quality contents, page rank, seo optimization is the key success of any domain.

If you have already purchase a domain and planning to re-sell it in future at a good price, please concentrate on these vital needs as you may even get your annual income from the sales of one domain.

I’ve been using Entrecard Beta 0.9.1 version for few months now. Everyone knows well that Entrebar safe a lot of time for us in opening multiple of pages in preferred sorted categories. You can open more 10 pages in one click and can go on open more pages. Usually, I will open 50 pages at once and let it load for 4 - 5 minutes before dropping and commenting.

The only problem with Entrebar version 0.9 is it will open sites that already dropped. It don’t have any mechanism to display sites that not dropped unlike version 0.9.1 beta. Sometimes, we will be wasting our time opening and loading time for the same page that we have dropped earlier using older version of Entrebar.

Using the beta version 0.9.1, you can open sites that not been dropped and you can see all the sites have been dropped on the sidebar. It is amazing tool that will save more time for frequent droppers. Now, if anyone says that they can drop all 300 cards in 30 minutes, it is not impossible. It will be an easy task with Entrebar version 0.9.1

If you could add this function with auto tab rotation in every 2 seconds from Tab Mix Plus plugin with Firefox 3, the sky is the limit. I won’t be amazed if you could finish all 600 drops in less than an hour.

First of all, we need to understand the value of back links. Backlinks will give significant value towards page rank calculation which will give more exposure in google search. Here is an example of backlinks value for a page rank 5 blog.

http://ncsdt.com - Page Rank 5
http://ncsdt/2008 - Page Rank 4
http://ncsdt.com/2008/07 - Page Rank 3
http://ncsdt.com/2008/07/04 - Page Rank 2
http://ncsdt.com/2008/07/04/PageRank.html - Page Rank 1

So, if you get a dofollow link from a blog post or comments that have page rank 5 blog, you only get backlink from a page worth of PR1. Imagine of getting a backlink from PR 4 or lower PR blogs. If you want to get backlinks, try your best to get from the main page sidebars dofollow links. You can find a lot of blogs giving dofollow links for “Top Droppers”, “Top Commentators”, “Recent Droppers” and “Recent Commentators” which you don’t have to pay and you can get it from your own effort. You can also exchange links with others.

I’m not saying that a dofollow blog post links or commenting on dofollow blogs does not give impact on your page rank. I’m trying to clarify the density and value of your dofollow backlinks here. The higher page rank dofollow link on main page side bars will have more contribution towards your page rank than dofollow blog comments or blog posts.

Accumulation of higher or lower dofollow backlinks is good and will reflect on next update. Make sure you don’t purchase any backlinks with dofollow or sell any links with dofollow as you might lose all the effort and get zero page rank penalty.

Easy steps to get hundreds of one way dofollow backlinks freely and quickly

1. Go to Google search

2. Search for “dofollow blogs”

3. Verify dofollow

4. Comment on all latest post

5. Continue to do this on as many blogs as you can everyday.

Now, getting a PR is not that hard isn’t it? First of all, I don’t do it yet. I’m going to try this method at least once a month until next google update. If anyone got a better idea, please share it.

This method is still under testing for last 2 months, but I’m very sure it will increase your pagerank in next update. I’m expecting at least PR3 from PR1 in next update. You need to get a lot of dofollow backlinks from higher PR sites. You cannot buy links with dofollow as they might penalty your existing PR to zero. The only legal way to get dofollow link with PR juice is by our hard work.

I have a collection of more than 100 blogs that have “Top Droppers” widget on their blog. Some blogs gives credit to their top droppers early of the month by writing a post about top droppers of the month. I bookmark them and committed to drop on all of them everyday. This gives me a lot of dofollow backlinks at the end of the month.

One of my blog has been penalized for giving dofollow paid posts. I have removed all dofollow links from paid posts and get a number of backlinks this time. I’m hoping to get some pagerank juice in next update for this penalized blog as well. Nothing is for sure now. If I can regain my lost PR, I will definitely share my entire experience on how to regain lost page rank here.

I’m going to try another way which is easier and more effective than the above method. Will apply this after next google pagerank update and share the details here soon. If you have any good and easy idea on technique to increase pagerank, please share.

This is a controversial topic as some still believe boldly that google page rank will help them to get top spot in google search results. If you still believe this, please check again practically. Go to Google.com and search any keyword. Open first 10 results that appear and compare it from first rank to tenth rank.

So, for those who is hunting for page rank to secure good spot in search engine position, wake up now! Page rank represents the number of dofollow backlinks that refers to particular url have over the Internet. The higher page rank represents the higher backlinks the site referred. It does not contribute to search results.

Search results works with keyword. Any keyword searched from search engine will check the sites with the particular keyword in density. The higher dense on keyword will have better position in search results. So, if you are targeting for certain keywords, check keywordtool for more details on the keyword:

- Related keywords
- Advertisers competition
- Approximate search volume in last month
- Approximate search volume in average
- Estimated ad position
- Estimated average CPC
- Search volume trends
- Highest search volume occurred in which month

Utilize your keywords according to your need. Some sites only depends on search engine traffic and gets thousands of visitors each day. Search engine traffic is huge and if you can get top 3 ranking in one highly searched keyword, I’m sure you will get at least thousands of visitors each day just from search engine.

Keyword is the key of any article. If you have good density of certain keyword, I’m sure you will get higher chance to get your post appear on top of search results in that particular keyword searched from search engine. The best two search engine to the worldwide known as Yahoo and Google.

It is not easy to appear in top 10 search results if you don’t utilize this keyword tool in your blog or website. For example, if you blog about “making money online”, try to include this keyword at least 2 to 3 times in all your posts. This will give more density to your blog on “making money online” keyword. The higher density keyword with lower low or average competitors will help you to bring forward your posts in top 10 search results.

If you blog’s niche is health, try to use those keywords related to it more frequently on your blog to get better search results ranking. Traffic from search engine is often neglected by many since PPC got cheaper and availability of so many traffic generating systems in Internet. Why not grab this opportunity since search engine like Google and Yahoo are having the highest number of visitors each day.

How to make money blogging is a common question for those who want to monetize their blog. There are so many ways to do this. So many blog whiz provides free information on how to make money blogging nowadays. Here is the list of money making ops that you can choose:

1. Google ads
- Please don’t motivate others, click the ads on your own ads or exchange clicks. It might get the account banned from the network. There are many similar service providers but none as big and huge network as Google ads.

2. Paid posts (make sure nofollow, or else you will lose page rank)
- So far only socialspark tag along nofollow rules on paid post links. PayPerpost strict on dofollow links. However, there are other paid post networks which let the customers choose between dofollow or don’t bother about dofollow. I tried BuyBlogReviews, SponsoredReviews and Bloggerwave for nofollow paid posts and it works.

3. Text link ads - Private / Other service providers (nofollow)
There are many text link ads service providers available in the market but the fees is very high. Some even charging between 40 – 50%. Personally, I feel it is better to sell it privately to the visitors.Otherwise, you could try any other text link ads with nofollow and cheaper fees. For me, Scratchback is one of the cheapest, but only drawback is we need to wait until min $25 to withdraw.

4. 125×125 ad spot - Private / Other service providers (nofollow)
125×125 pixel ad spot becomes more famous these days. Most of the blog templates comes with ad spots of 125×125 nowadays. There are a few advertising networks provides 125×125 ad spots with higher fees. Personally, I want to sell it privately. It is up to the blogger’s decision.

5. Affiliate sales – Choose the paying affiliates
Affiliate income could be the largest income revenue in blogging industry if we really utilize it. Try to advertise affiliate links on domain, hosting, paid post networks, etc and get money from your visitor’s activity from this affiliate links.

6. Matched - Unique Earning method
You need to register your blog with Matched and can provide up to 5 posts link to advertise. There will be a small box advertisement running at the footer of this post if got any approved ads. Remember, each approved ads will earn us GBP$8.00. That is about US$12 - US$15 based on exchange rate.
