Does Garry Conn Really Make Money Online?

If you are a beginner looking to make money online then pay attention or you will waste a lot of time and money getting nowhere. Beware of whose advice you take. If you are a regular reader then you may want to skip this - nothing new just a post full of keywords… oh and a little bit of a rant.Do you know Why there are so many “Make Money Online” Blogs?Because it is a niche that is easy to get social traffic. Do you know why there are so many “Blogs about Blogging?”Because it is a niche that is easy to get social traffic.Do you know why there are so few blogs about “oil filters?”.Because it is a niche that is hard to get social traffic.So why do people want social traffic? Because this is a good way to get backlinks. Sure they also want to become “known” and they are under the impression that you need to get a lot of RSS subscribers and eventually this will lead to making money. Underneath all of this though is the barely conscious understanding that you need Backlinks to make all of your dreams come true. This part is true. You do need backlinks.The problem is that social traffic doesn’t provide the right type of backlinks. What generally happens is this; a blogger decides he is going to make money online with a blog telling other people how to make money online. I’m sure you are all familiar with this thinking.Here is the general plan that I like to call…How not to Make Money OnlineGet a URL with your name in the URL so that you can “Brand” yourself. Let’s call it garryconn.comRead all the other MMO blogs and write lots of posts giving out tips you read elsewhere. Check out Vic’s Podcast “Fakers, Scammers and Garry Conn“Get your name out there. Kiss the A list ass and be sure to add links to all the usual suspects who have social blogs that claim to show you how to make money online but don’t. You know all the A listers who don’t rank in the serp’s.Start a newsletter to increase your RSS numbers. (Aweber email lists are included in the Feedburner count - not just subscribers)Develop a loyal following of a couple thousand readers.Write a post telling people they will never make money online learning from a 13 year old which is so ironic - the 13 year old actually gets search engine traffic because he dominates the keyword “make money online”. The 13 year old makes money online from a MMO blog - maybe Garry could learn something… Flog all sorts of affiliate products to your readers whether you have used the product or not. Admit that you don’t use a product that everybody who does make money online uses.Write a post complaining about not making any money with your “make money online” blog even though you have been giving everyone the impression that you make money online.Give your readers shit for not buying stuff with your affiliate link.Complain about how all the time spent giving “free” advice on how to make money online keeps you from spending time on your other sites that really “do” make you money online. How exactly are all the tips dispensed on his MMO blog that don’t make him money because they are tips about getting social traffic going to help anyone make money. If they don’t work on social blogs how are they going to work on niche sites like Garry’s Airplanes or Eyeglasses blogs? Finally give up and tell everyone that you can’t make money with a “make money online” blog. Start posting 10 non-relevant posts a day because now you are going to make money with Adsense. (Good luck with that)After all you “do” know how to make money online. I don’t have anything against Garry Conn except that he can’t make money online with a blog about making money online. How much time have others wasted by following his advice? Why should anyone read him then. Wouldn’t it make sense to learn how to make money online from someone who actually does make money online from a MMO blog?. If they can make money with a MMO blog then they can make money in any niche. Just a thought…I don’t know him. At one time I thought he knew a few things but it turns out he’s just another blogger who bought into the whole social scene portrayed by the A list. A victim no worse than Caroline Middlebrook. Both bloggers have talent - they quickly learned all the tricks of the social game and made a name for themselves albeit limited. Both learned the hard way that they can’t make money with a make money online blog - at least not with social traffic. Both have MMO blogs telling more hapless victims how to make money online even though they don’t make money using the methods they talk about. In case you think I’m being hard on Garry Conn - I’m not. I’m just helping him out as he has asked his readers to unsubscribe from his blog. I’m just providing the reasons why people should follow his wishes. In truth you could replace his blog in this post with most of the 45n5 top 100 blogs that don’t make money online either. So can you make money with a “make money online” blog?Yup.I do everyday.Do you know what separates people who do make money online from those that don’t?A PlanHere is my plan.Dominate the search engines.End of plan.How to implement plan.Pick a niche.Let’s say “Make Money Online”Why?1) Because it’s a great niche for a flagship blog.2) It has thousands of relevant keywords.3) It can produce thousands of people who will spend money and click ads. Oh yes it does!4) Almost none of the other 10 million make money online blogs get any of this traffic leaving it all to me and a small handful of others who “do” know how to make money online.The screenshot below is for the past 20 minutes or so. It shows the traffic this blog has received from the search engines while I have been writing this post. It also tells me what “Keywords” were used in the search queries. I want to point out that Saturday morning is the slowest day and time of the week for this blog in terms of traffic.Click image to enlarge.The vast majority of my visitors will find my blog by visiting Google or Yahoo and typing in the following term; “How to Make Money”Just about as many people will use this term; “How to Make Money Online”In case you are wondering how many people do this on an average day the screenshot below gives you a rough idea - the stats are not for a full day though - this was taken mid-afternoon.A note to Garry Conn who determined that there was no traffic in the MMO niche using the SEO Book keyword tool (wtf??) Keyword tools are horribly inaccurate and the one you used is worse than most - remember Keyword Elite that you don’t use? KE is bad too but still the best of a crappy tool. (The best way to find out how many searches a keyword has is to rank on top of the serp’s for it. lol) See screenshot at the bottom of this post for an idea of what kind of traffic really exists in the MMO niche. As you can see the term (in my results above) “Make Money Online” ranks a distant third as far as traffic goes. There are two reasons for this; I don’t rank as well for the term and there are not as many real searches for the term as people think. It is a crappy term - let me explain.Who would type “Make Money Online” in a search query? Bloggers checking to see where they rank. The search numbers for that term are so inflated simply because it gets searched continuously by bloggers checking the rankings. Not by people wanting to know how to make money online - or very few and they click on my link in the serp’s because my blog is “for Beginners.”Think about this. The people who are truly new to making money online don’t type “make money online” in the query. They type “how to make money” or “how to make money online”Something else you should know. A beginner is different from a noob. Noobs have already bought ebooks and have been scammed a number of times. Noobs know about social traffic. Noobs “Are” social traffic. Noobs type in “Make Money Online”. Noobs are not the target market. They won’t buy from you or click ads. They are tired of being ripped off and are on a mission to read everything they can for free in order to finally make some money online.Beginners are much different. They have never heard of “Noobs”. They haven’t heard of anything at all except that “apparently” people can make money online. So they sit down at the computer, open their favorite search engine that they use to find cheap airline tickets with and not much else and they say to themselves…I wonder how I can make money online? Then they type in the term. And then they find me and a handful of others. They don’t find Problogger or Shoemoney. They don’t find Caroline Middlebrook, Garry Conn or John Cow. They don’t find 99% of the blogs that 45n5 claims are the “Top” blogs in the make money online niche. Beginners are noobs in training - they have yet to buy all the crappy ebooks. They will though. Someone wanting to make money selling ebooks and get rich programs should be targeting these people - just imagine if I was to start flogging crap in my posts. I get a lot of virgins to this site and they do buy the stuff in the sidebar - the stuff I have told my readers to ignore. It’s there because beginners don’t want to read about “how to make money online” - they just want to spend money on something that will make them rich fast. No skin off my nose - they could have read my blog instead.I do use Adsense though and the beginners love clicking those ads. You may think this is a MMO blog. It really isn’t.It’s a “How to Make Money Online for Beginners” blog.And while everyone in the MMO niche has been building up their Pagerank and Alexa stats and RSS subscribers and getting themselves listed on the Top Make Money Online list of bloggers I have been…Dominating the search engines.You were all beginners at one time. What were you looking for when you first thought about making money online. Be honest. You wanted to make money fast and without much work. You wanted to get rich quick.Ok. Maybe not you but most do.Beginners are the only people who buy crappy ebooks promising instant wealth. Noobs don’t.Beginners are the only people who cick on ads promising instant wealth. Noobs don’t.So if you are going to make money online with a make money online blog maybe you should target beginners and not noobs. Maybe you should target the terms that only beginners would use when searching for information. This is called a plan. It is something you should have before you start a make money online blog claiming to know how to make money online. And if you are reading a blogger who claims to make money blogging and they don’t rank in the top of the serp’s for their own keywords then you might ask yourself if they are really making money elsewhere as they claim. (Flagship blogs excepted) If they only know about social traffic then how are they making money with their “oil filter” blog. If they know about search engine traffic (it’s the only way to make money with Oil Filters folks) then why aren’t they after search engine traffic with their MMO blog? Moreover the few who do rank for keywords only rank for a couple and they are the wrong keywords. Problogger ranks really well for “make money blogging” but that’s about it and it doesn’t attract beginners - just noobs.It doesn’t matter what niche you pick - if you want to make money in that niche then check out the top ranked sites in that niche and do what they do. If the site ranks on top of the serp’s in “A Competitive” niche then you have found someone who knows how to make money online because they know how to get backlinks. The type of backlink that gets you top serp ranking for your keywords. Not the type of backlink that gets you top ranking for your name.Try and get backlinks for “Oil Filters” - it ain’t easy and you won’t be getting them from all your “social” oil filter friends. Knowing how to get backlinks for Oil Filters is what separates the people who make money online from those who just claim to. If you can get those links you can rank for anything you want. This is how you get continuous traffic. This is how you get traffic that converts into money. This is what SEO is all about and the reason I write 4 posts a month and make more money in a day with this blog than Garry Conn makes in a month with 80 posts. 80 posts - wow - hard to believe he has time to work on those “other” sites that “do” make money. I barely have time for 4 posts. Of course you don’t need a lot of posts to make money. You need a lot of posts to keep social traffic coming to your site though…The list below contains the keywords used to find this blog on Yahoo for last night. As I’ve said - this is what SEO is all about. Traffic.Click image to enlarge(sorry the list is huge and hard to read)It is ironic that the bulk of the people who found my blog using the terms just listed will not be reading this sentence. Most will just click away. About 12% of them will click an ad up top. They will eventually find a blog like Garry Conn’s and waste 6 months creating a social MMO blog before giving up. A shame really - they were so close…Cheers,Griz

Google Launch Ad Manager (an Ad Server)

google-ad-manager.gifGoogle AdSense announced the beta launch of their Ad Manager Ad Server product back in March. At that time I heard from a number of publishers in the beta program that they were finding it to be an effective way of managing their ads.

Today on the AdSense blog they have announced that Ad Manager is now available to everyone. It’s still in beta but is obviously stable enough to be opened up to everyone.

If you’re an AdSense publisher already all you need to do is sign in here (no need to apply to join). If you’re not an AdSense publisher - you will need to sign up first.

What is Ad Manager?

I’m yet to test it (and have little need to as b5media have their own ad management tools to manage the ads on my blogs) but from reports of others and digging around Ad Manager today it’s a quite powerful tool that will help publishers to manage a number of aspects of the selling and displaying of ads on your blog.

Most larger websites will do this by having their own ad server - but what Google have done with Ad Manager is provide a product that they host and that is much more manageable for smaller to medium publishers.

You can see a full list of Ad Manager features here and can access their Help Center here.

What Does Ad Manager Cost?

This is the beauty of Ad Manager - it’s free.

Some publishers will no doubt worry about privacy as this is all hosted on Google’s servers but outside of that (and it doesn’t concern me) I’m not seeing too many negatives. Google don’t make any money from this unless you use AdSense to fill unsold inventory (something that it will easily do and that they are no doubt betting many publishers will do - note: it’s not compulsory to do this). You can also use other ad networks with it.

Ad Manager is going to be most useful to bloggers who have a decent amount of traffic and who are wanting to start selling ad placements directly to advertisers. If you’re still at the stage of just running AdSense on your blog then this will probably something you’ll want to grow into. It is reasonably easy to use and set up however unless you’re wanting to sell your own ads there isn’t much point.

Alternatives

If you’d like to check out the competition to AdSense Ad Manager you’ll probably want to check out OpenX which is a similar system.

An Interesting Developement with Yahoo

I’m not sure when I first noticed an increase in Yahoo search visitors to this blog - maybe a month ago - but when the guests began arriving I did some investigating and sure enough I found this blog was suddenly showing up in Yahoo’s serp listings for a few of my main keywords. This may not mean much to those of you who use Wordpress but for those of us who like using Blogger this has had some pleasant consequences. Until recently it was necessary to use Meta Tags in order to rank well in Yahoo. You have to do a little coding to add Meta tags to blogger as Google (the owner) doesn’t include the option in the default set up. This is because Google doesn’t use Meta Tags in it’s Serp algorithm. By not providing the option in Blogger they have also, if you read between the lines, told bloggers not to use Meta Tags if you want to rank well in Google. Google doesn’t completely ignore Meta tags - they know they are there and if you use them like most people do - stuffing repetitive keywords into them, then Google will just write you off as spam. Get your tags wrong and you can hurt your rankings. Don’t use them at all and you are safe. This is the primary reason I have long said not to optimize your sites for Yahoo or MSN et al. Google is the search engine you MUST rank well on if you hope to make money online. Don’t screw up your Google rankings in hopes of ranking well on other engines. I have never added Meta tags to any Blogspot blogs. I rank well on Google - they send me a lot of traffic - until recently about 85% of my visitors have been sent here from the Serp’s. I used to get the odd visitor from Yahoo or MSN and a few of the other lesser engines. Something has definitely changed in regards to the Yahoo Algorithm. As I said I noticed a sudden increase in traffic - not huge but noticeable - last month for a few keywords. Since then more and more keywords keep showing up in the serp listings. I have mentioned that this blog ranks page 1 on Google for more than 50 keywords and it appears that Yahoo is copying Google’s rankings for all the same keywords.A few days ago I finally did a little stat hunting because it was hard not to notice that Yahoo was sending me just about as much traffic as Google (turns out to be 50% as much) and my Adsense income has grown as well - partly because of the added traffic but also because my CTR has increased about 4% over the past month. At first I thought the increase was due to the fact that G had stopped smart pricing me. Turns out that smart pricing is only part of the story. This blogspot blog has had the most increase in traffic but I have noticed an increase across most of my deep linked blogger blogs from Yahoo. I still have a lot of other blogspot blogs that haven’t seen much increase at all. Have any of you noticed more traffic coming from Yahoo on your Blogger blogs?Considering I used to get maybe 50 visitors a month from Yahoo the stats below give you a good idea of how much new traffic is showing up. This is from a couple of days ago - Thursday’s stats.Click Image to enlarge.That’s a lot of new daily visitors to this site and I started checking the keywords that were bringing in the traffic. Turns out I was sitting in number 1 spot on Yahoo for a couple of the best terms - “How to Make Money Online” 1st out of a measly 1 Billion 7 hundred and 40 million pages… lol. I even slipped into 8th spot for the big kahuna “Make Money Online”.The best part about all this is that while they are suddenly ranking me for my main keywords they are also ranking me for all sorts of long tails proving that they are still a crappy search engine and making me money in the process. They are ranking me for all sorts of irrelevant terms that practically guarantees an increase in my CTR. People are coming here looking for “how to make professional estimates” and not finding what they want - exactly the kind of visitors you want on an Adsense site. Most just leave but it appears 4% more of these folks are clicking out using the Adsense ads than my Google traffic is. The end result is that this blog is now making a very decent buck. I’m not rubbing it in, just reminding a lot of you that Adsense is still the easiest way to make money online. And SEO is all that is needed. In a nutshell this blog makes money because of 2 things; the keywords I have used to optimize my pages and the backlinks that I have which use those keywords in the anchor text. That is all this comes down to folks. I’m not saying only use Adsense - always seek out multiple income streams - but remember that whatever monetization method you use depends on driving not just traffic but the right kind of traffic - search traffic. Search traffic boils down to just one thing - backlinks. Get the best links and you win. I’m curious - have any of you Blogger bloggers seen a surge in Yahoo traffic over the past month? Here is a brief list of terms Yahoo has sent me traffic for this past hour - both related and unrelated;(Yes this is more for my benefit than yours - just a little SEO boosting for future use)how to make money with my laptophow to make smart moneyhow to make money fast on the interneteasiest way to double your moneyhow to make money just by being onlinehow to make money membership sites real estate advicehow to make good moneyhow to make money in wow for noobsmaking money free + adsensemake money with search enginemake money for freehow to make money on the internet referralhow to make an excel spreadsheet look nicefool page rankHow to make money with cjhow to create a java code to search google multiple timeshow to make online money fasthow to make money online typing for freemaking money + bloghow to make money on internethow to earn money onlinehow to make fake moneyhow to make money online with out selling anythinghow to buld inside pipe inspection toolfree technic how to making moneyhow to make money while having fun on linehow to make money that cost nothing to startways to make money selling onlinePayday loans comment blog:.orgMaking money with AdSensefree information on how to make money bloggingmaking moneyhow to make money blogginghow to make money onlinehow to earn money onlinehow to make a lot of money on the net and get started for freehow to make moneyhow to make money honestlyhow to make money on netIn case I haven’t mentioned this lately - quit chasing social traffic folks - the money is in the search engines. Cheers,GrizOh if you ever want to see if your readers are reading your blog and don’t mind chewing up bandwidth just add a list of Keywords linked to the search engines like I did above. Post - wait 10 minutes and then check your stats… like this.It appears a few people just can’t help checking those links… Lol. Just having a little fun with ya’One more thing… Vic has a video up today regarding his Private Academy Launch. I can’t seem to get any voice when trying to play it so if anyone would like to tell me what he is saying please feel free… I’m particularly interested in any mention of the words “Griz” and “Gets a free membership”.

One account, multiple sites

We’d like to remind you that once you’ve been approved for AdSense, you can place the code from your account on any page that complies with our program policies. Simply generate new code and paste it onto your site — we don’t need to update your account, so there’s no need to contact us about your new site (although we appreciate the thought!). Even if your sites relate to completely different topics, our system will display appropriate ads for each site. This is because your ad targeting is based on the content of your pages, rather than set within your account. In addition, please keep in mind that publishers may only maintain one account per payee name, so there’s no need for you to submit a new application.If you run multiple websites, you may wish to view separate reports for each domain. Simply create a URL channel for each one. You won’t need to modify your code in any way, and your URL channels will begin tracking data almost immediately. If you need to send these reports to other people who manage your site with you, you can set up emailable reports.But what if you’ve sold the website you applied to AdSense, and now you run another one? We don’t need to update your account information in any way. Just remove your ad code from the old site, paste new code onto your current site, and our system will automatically take care of the rest.Finally, we’d like to note that we do constantly review sites displaying Google ads to make sure that they’re complying with the AdSense program policies. If we find that a site isn’t compliant with our policies, we’ll contact the publisher whose ad code appears on the site to address the situation. If you’re concerned about others placing your ad code on non-policy compliant pages, we recommend using our Allowed Sites feature.Posted by Arlene Lee - AdSense Publisher Support

Get Paid To Answer Everyday Question and Earn Money

I’ve been asked many times, how to make money online without having any website, any product, nor any list… or in short how to make money online from scratch. Just answer questions and then get paid.

Although this is not my favorite method on making money online, it might be good for you if you like answering questions. Rather than answering questions at Yahoo! Answers, Yedda, or AskVille where you don’t get paid, answer questions at these following sites (they’re free to join by the way):

Just Answer

This is probably the answer site that paid you the most for answering questions and you get paid through PayPal.

So here’s how Just Answer works:

You need to apply to become an expert before you can start answering questions and get paid.
Warning, only about 10% of the applicants is accepted. So be prepared.
Fill out your profile and be careful since your profile will pretty much determine how much you will make.
Find questions in your field of expertise and answer it. Once you answer a question the person who posted the question will have to decide if they want to pay for your answer for their offering price or if they would rather pass on it (you see that your profile is very important decision factor here).
You can request payment any time once your balance reaches $20.

Basically there’s no limit of how much a question can be paid. So it’s not uncommon to find $50 question offerings, while the average question offering is $15 each. You get 25% to 50% of this offering, depending on your performance.

Just in case you’re curious, I quote a few questions directly from the sites:

$80 Question:

Write a 1,750 word paper examining the impact of Poverty and Children in the United States. Cite 3 to 5 sources.

Optional Information: Level: 2nd year college

Already Tried: SOC 102 TEXTBOOK, U.S. CENSUS WEBSITES AND OTHERS.

Obviously you get paid much more than ghostwriting for answering this question :)

$50 Question:

I was recently arrested by the RCMP and held for two days with a charge of BNE but ultimately the Crown decided not to proceed with the charges and I was released. However, when I was arrested I was driving my car which they had towed to their building and they have yet to give it back to me or let me remove any of my belongings from it. How long are they legally allowed to hold my vehicle for? Also, I had just purchased this vehicle and had yet to officially transfer my insurance (still valid) over to my new vehicle although I had all of the proper documents. I thought ICBC allowed 10 days after purchasing a vehicle to transfer the insurance. Is this true?? Because I was issued a $598 ticket for driving with no insurance. (I know this is kind of a complicated question and I will pay more for an answer)

$30 Question:

I am looking for “how to” instructions for mounting and unmounting the mowing deck of a 345 John Deere Lawn Tractor.

$15 Question:

I have recently been tested for stds but camp up negative. I have been cramping and bleeding between my last period. just started on thursday with light brown discharge that continued for
about 24 hours then went to watery red very little discharge and cramping from thursday. my last period was around the first of the month and lasted about 5 days. I have no odor, no pain with intercourse. i have always used condoms also EVERYTIME. the cramping and spotting usually occurs in the morning and lessens later on in the day.

As you can see from these samples above, the topic and offering of the questions vary. So if you have the expertise and like answering questions, this may be for you!

Getting Best Out of BUM Marketing

People use bum marketing (or article marketing) for various reasons. Some of them use it to bring traffic to their website, which they monetize through adsense. Some of them use it to drive traffic to the site which they plan to sell soon (flipping websites). Some use it to advertise products from clickbank or from other affiliate networks.

I have tried bum marketing in various niche markets like gizmos, electronics, apparels, ebooks, softwares, medical products, and many others as well.

But bum marketing has worked best for me on the medical products. Specially those medical products, about which, people don’t prefer to discuss with their family/friends. For these type of products, they do their research online. Bum marketing at ezinearticles.com or other similar places are good places to present the product reviews for people to tell them which product actually works and which does not. If you are actually helping them in decision making, you will also make the money.

I have used article marketing for Amazon, eBay (through BANS), Clickbank, LECash and MarketHealth. Out of these last two worked the best.

I use a combination of squidoo lenses, hub pages, knol (recently added) and article directories to promote the product. I submit my articles to only 5 directories which I consider the best. Its just a do-it-and-forget-it process.

Have any of you use bum marketing for some specific product? How is it going? Please share.

Adsense Referrals Retiring: Big Loss

One of my blog post provides links to free adwords coupons. This blog posts has top rankings on Google search engine for many keywords like “adwords coupons”, “free adwords coupons” etc. This post alone makes around $1000+/month with Adsense Referrals.

Now Adsense Referrals is retiring. And it is surely a big loss to me. I also don’t have any other alternatives for it.

Does any of you had any similar problem? Do you have any alternatives? Please share.

Affiliate Marketing with T3leads.com

Back in the early days of the Internet, you could just throw up a CPM banner and work on increasing the number of impressions. Google AdSense came along and forced publishers to put a little more focus on increasing the click-thru rate. With the arrival of affiliate marketing, the focus is taken even further. You not only need your visitors to notice and click on the ads, you need them to complete a certain action.

As its name implies, T3leads.com is one such pay-per-lead affiliate program. In its own words, T3leads.com sells “generated leads through a unique auction system that allows our affiliates to make maximum profits.” I like money.

Why Work with T3leads.com?

On the surface, it was hard to find anything that really set this affiliate program apart from the rest of the crowd. On the main page, T3leads.com boasts that it has the highest per lead payouts in the industry, highest traffic conversion rates, real-time reporting, and quick bi-weekly payouts.

I’ll discuss the high payouts and the conversion rates in a moment, but the one major thing that I appreciate about T3leads.com is the the bi-weekly payout schedule. This means that you don’t have to too long to get your money from T3leads.com. Contrast this to other networks that only pay out once every 30, 45, or 60 days. It’s also useful that T3leads.com offers a wide variety of payment options, as shown above.

Control Panel and Creatives

Logging into the control panel, you are immediately faced with news from the network, both in Russian and in English. Despite its Russian slant, T3leads.com says that it only accepts American traffic. That can be a little confining, given the international nature of the Internet.

You are able to navigate through the different sections by way of the menu bar at the top of the screen. The websites tab displays the sites that are currently advertising through T3leads.com, broken down based on category. Common categories include home insurance, debt relief, and payday loans.

Other useful areas in the control panel include the T3forum (accessed under Info), Promo (for banners), and Statistics. There are four different kinds of reports available.

Advertiser and Payout Information
