Is Bidvertiser getting more popular than Adsense?

2008-08-18T08:12:00.000-07:00

Bidvertiser was initially launched in 2003. Bidvertiser ads are similar to Adsense ads and is considered as an alternative to Adsense. As such, it is advisable not to have Bidvertiser and Adsense ads on the same website page. However you can try experimenting by placing Bidvertiser ads on one page and Adsense ads on a different page.

The fact that Bidvertiser ads are highly customizable- that is you can alter the text,size and fonts is getting more popular among the publishers as compared to Adsense.

The benefits of using Bidvertiser ads:
1. The low minimum payout of $10 to is an attractive option to the publishers.
For beginners this will be more reasonable to achieve as compared to $100
with Adsense. Many give up in the early stages being unable to get to the
required set payout.

2. All earnings from Bidvertiser are paid through PayPal-which is more faster
as by check from Adsense.

3. With Bidvertiser we can have links opened in a separate window. This will
allow users to stay more time on your website, and the chances of clicking
on the ads are much greater.

4. We can manually approve ads that are suitable to our sites.
However with Adsense, we have no control at all in choosing the ads.

5. On creating the ads, the template that you wanted to place on your site can be reviewed first. As for Adsense, to see what a 234x60 ad looks like, you have to click on a separate link.

6. eBay auction ads can also be displayed if you wanted to. This freedom is not allowed in Adsense.

7. In Bidvertiser, you are able to see how much the advertisers are bidding for the ads that are going to be placed on your website. This information is not available or not provided by Google Adsense.

The different Ad formats in Bidvertiser.
As a Publisher you have 5 ad formats to choose:

1. Banners
Full Banner (468x60) ; Leaderboard (728x90)
Half Banner (234x60) ; Vertical Banner (120x240)

2. Skyscrapers
Wide Skyscraper (160x600): Skyscraper (120x600)
Half Page Ad (300x600)

3. Rectangles
Medium Rectangle (300x250); Vertical Rectangle (240x400)
Large Rectangle (336x280) ; Rectangle (180x150)

4. Buttons - Square Buttons (125x125)

5. Free Design

As mentioned, the Bidvertiser ads are highly customized. You can alter the text, font sizes as well as the dimensions of the ads. For those who are having problems with Adsense, Bidvertiser will be an option to consider.Overall Bidvertiser is another great way to make money online.

Will Bidvertiser be able to take the place of Google Adsense?

What is a Domain Name?

2008-08-14T02:12:00.000-07:00

What is a Domain Name?
In the offline business, the moment we open a shop, we need to have a name for our shop. Similarly, in the online business, your domain name is the location of your website.
People will only able to visit your website, once they know your domain name or address. For example:
www.google.com (google.com is the domain name)
www.yahoo.com (yahoo.com is the domain name)
www.abc.com (abc.com is the domain name)

Whenever we use the Web or send an e-mail message, we usually type the domain name in the browser. Typing the URL "http://www.google.com" in the browser will produce a Google website.

A domain name is also an alias for an IP address. What is an IP address then? An IP address is a numeric code that represents where to look through the internet for your website. An example of an IP address would be 192.168.0.101. Rather than typing this “192.168.0.101” IP address in the browser; a domain name will be more preferable and easily remembered to access the same site.

So the next step is to pick your domain name and register it. Choosing a domain name for your website is an important decision. You simply think up a domain name that suits your website theme. You can have “dot com”, “dot org”, “dot net”, whatever you prefer. The "dot com" domain is still the most widely popular, and the preferred domain of choice. ) The criteria for choosing your domain name:
•Avoid putting your company name, as it does not make sense unless your company is well known and established such as Google or Yahoo.
•Avoid putting your domain name too long. We want people to easily remember your domain name so that they can come again visit your website.
•Avoid putting dashes in your domain name.
•Put your main keywords in your domain name.
For example : http://www.goarticles.com ; http://www.ezinearticles.com

Where to register your domain name?
Once you have decided to give your website a domain name; you have to check whether the required domain name is available or not. At times, the required domain names had already been taken so you have to give an alternative domain name. It is recommended that to register at http://www.Daddy.com; or at http://www.domainsatretail.com for cheap domain registration and excellent customer service.

How much is the cost of registration?
Usually the cost of registration is between US7.95 – US14.40 per year depending on a domain name; Dot com, dot org, dot net, whatever you choose.

How to find out who owns that particular domain?
You can quickly check all the information that you want at http://www.onewhois.com.
The addresses, phone and e-mail addresses for the people who own the domain are listed.

Gary Bachetti-The Gentle Mentor

2008-07-27T07:55:00.000-07:00

I have been in the Internet Marketing for almost two years. I have tried most of the programs that promise hundreds and thousands per week. I did also subscribe to membership sites to gather information from the e-books and forum members. Not only I have lost hard-earned money but also hours of time spent. I did envy when reading from testimonials, marketers are making lots of money. Most of the time you feel lost!
I am not sure whether others are in the same situation.

Two weeks ago, I did subscribe to an Ad which give you free TV commercial for your site. This is run by the gentle mentor, Gary Bachetti. Since then, I receive his e-mails, daily.

I find that reading his e-mails help me a lot in internet marketing. Not only that,I am able to attend in a PalTalk room- a meeting room where Gary will give lessons on selected topics. The best thing is that you can see live Gary's monitor, as if you are sitting beside him. You can also ask him any questions that you might have; and he will answer immediately. He usually hold free classes on Monday to Wednesdays at 8.00 pm New York time.

I learn a lot more in 2 hours at Gary's classes than 2 months on my own. I have found a true Mentor that really helps me in the internet marketing. The best is that- anyone can join free!

Should there be a limitation to Giveaways?

2008-07-27T07:46:00.000-07:00

Should there be a limitation to Giveaways?

At the moment, there are a lot of Giveaways running; the IM Giveaway, Rainbow Giveaway, The Arch Giveaway, The Learn-Internet Giveaway, the 4thJuly Giveaway, the Niche Giveaway (to name the selected few).Perhaps twenty of them!

The original concept of organizing the Giveaway is to help the newbies to collect leads.The Giveaways are being organized by famous 'Gurus', well known marketers who have established in their areas of marketing.The duration of the Giveaway ranges from one week, two weeks, one month and at the most throughout the year.

The organizers will then invite partners to contribute gifts to their Giveaways.The gifts include e-books, reports, templates, softwares, videos and free membership sites.
The contributors are given the option to upgrade by paying a fee of US17 or US27 for additional benefits.

It seems that most of the Contributors participating are almost the same. Some of them
contribute the same gifts again and again. In some cases, the covers of the e-book or reports are redesign.

Who really gain the most in the Giveaways?
Definitely the organizers. Not only they get all the leads that came to register in order to get the gifts; they also accumulate bucks from the upgraded contributors, the OTO's and Ads displayed in the official Giveaway website.
The contributors do collect some leads but it is doubtful that they can collect thousands!
What about the newbies? If they have small lists, they are unable to participate- how to advance to the next level?
So the only option for the newbies is just to collect gifts from the Giveaways.
