Advertising Options Available From Today

Make Money With Kassper is now officially open for advertising. This blog has made huge progress over the past couple of months and the traffic that it currently gets per month gives me the right to add some advertising features.

Here are some reasons why to advertise on Make Money With Kassper:

- Page Rank of 4
- 4000 - 5000 visitors a month according to Google Analytics and Alexa.com
- 2500+ unique visitors a month
- 8000+ page views a month
- In top 6.000+ blogs among 80 million according to Technorati
- 130+ RSS subscribers on average

As you may notice, I have made few minor modifications to my blog in order to make available space for potential advertisers. I had to concentrate on the advertisers in order to make a good deal for them, but I also had to think about you, my readers, and not allow my blog to become overcrowded. I strongly believe that it won't have any impact at all on the current layout and you will still have a clean and nice looking layout to look at :P

I have made 3 advertising options available and they are the following:

1. Sidebar Button 125 x 125 (5 available) and will be placed under the RSS button! Note that the ads are not rotating, costs only $20 a month

2. Top Right Tab Text Link - (1 available) - placed on top right of the homepage, the link gets a lot of clicks every day, costs only $10 a month

3. Full Site Review - A full site review with a couple of screen shots, I'll keep it honest and fair, review stays on home page for at least one week, costs only $10

My advertising page looks like this post and I hope that everyone looking for exposure and a boost in traffic can find a good deal for themselves here.

The Web 2.0 is Us/ing Us

First of all, let me apologize to my regular readers for not posting so often lately, all I can say is that I have been very busy with two of my other jobs lately and I barely had the time to be online. I also have to apologize to the 50+ Backlink Contest participants, you can expect Batch 7 in a day or two ;)

Now to get back to the topic of this post, check out this superb video about Web 2.0 that was created by guys over at MediatedCultures.net

This is a video that really gets down to the core of the whole Web 2.0 concept. They are focused on one question - are we using the web OR is the web using us? Basically, it's all about people...

Take a look at this video to see for yourself and share some thoughts with me.

Google Search Privacy - Plain and Simple?

I posted an intriguing video about Google called Google Masterplan last week which focused on the question "Does Google really care about our privacy?".

Now, for comparison, take a look at this video which is the first in series of Google's videos about privacy.
Google talks about what information do they collect when a user is using a Google search engine and the steps they are taking to protect it. They also promised, that in the future posts, they will explain to us why do they keep logs and what information they collect while we are signed into Google.

Try to compare the videos and tell me - who do you trust? Do you trust Google? If not, why are you then using their services? Do you think there is nothing anyone can do against "Googleware"???

I would just love to hear a discussion about this. Just drop a comment bellow.

SEO Series Batch 6 - Internal Linkinkg

Internal linking is a very important part of every successful search engine optimization. Internal linking basically gives you a chance to add backlinks to your own pages.

Google (the most powerful search engine today) indexes each page as an individual, so you need backlinks to your entire site, it's not enough to build backlinks just to your home page.

You can use each new post that you write on your blog for internal linking. Pay attention to your keywords and keyword phrases about which I have talked earlier in the SEO Series Batch 1.

Optimize your keywords by using anchor texts and make your anchor texts spot on, they have to be on topic and related to the content of the linked post. If you mess up anchor texts, then the whole concept of internal linking loses it's meaning.

Along with adding a sitemap to your blog, internal linking is the most important factor towards a strong and search engine friendly site structure, so try to take advantage of your frequent posting and link to your pages on a regular basis.

Remember, internal linking is a part of every successful SEO story ;)

Social Bookmarking in Plain English

Social bookmarking is a way of organizing your internet shortcuts. Internet shortcuts can be saved in a form of bookmarks, but often you come across a lot of interesting sites or blogs and they often become a very crowded place.

Social bookmarking sites allow you to save your favorites online using tags. With tags your favorites are automatically easier to find, more accessible and more organized.

Guys over at CommonCraft have created this video which explains how can you use social bookmarking sites - in their example - del.icio.us.

Google Masterplan - The Movie

5 Essential Blog Elements Which Every Blog Should Have

Blog elements can be called the foundations of every single blog. If you're trying to make money with your blog, you first have to build strong foundations for it.
Try to see it as your own financial fortress - do you build a house from the roof or from the bottom? It's the same with blogging.... When you set your blog elements right, you should have no or very little problems with making money with your blog.

Here's a quick list of blog elements which every blog should have:

1. ABOUT PAGE - Readers usually like to know who is behind the posts. Write about yourself and your interests and tell them why are your post the ones they should read. Also, it's highly recommended that you put your picture on your about page - readers also like to see who is behind the posts - chose a picture with a smile on your face ;) - You can expect my picture soon :)

2. CONTACT PAGE - Just remember how many times you contacted someone with your questions and queries. As a blogger, you have to make time for your readers. Having a contact page makes it easier for your readers to get in touch with you.

3. SUBSCRIBE BUTTON - Allow your readers to grab your site's feed. Place the button on the top of your page so it's easy accessible. You can also encourage your readers to subscribe to your feed at the beginning or the end of each post (or in the post ;) - subscribe to MMWK)

4. CATEGORIES (LABELS) - Makes the blogging experience on your blog a whole lot easier and comfortable. Categories make it easier for readers to browse through your blog.

5. SEARCH BOX - Always have a search box on your blog. When a reader wants to find something on your blog, the search box takes him there in no time.

After the top 5, I'd like to point out one more blog element important for making money online:

ADVERTISE - If you think your blog is ready for direct advertising, then you should have an "advertise on this blog" page. Remember to focus on the advertiser directly - after all, you are writing the page for him, not for your readers ;) If a potential advertiser visits your blog, you have to be ready for him. Describe why should he advertise on your blog, try to tell the advertiser what benefits will he have by advertising on your blog.

If you have a blog and you don't have one of those elements, then I strongly recommend that you add the ones that your blog is missing.

SEO Series Batch 5 - Title Tags - Top Rankings

SEO Series continues, today's topic are title tags and post title optimization. I have talked earlier about post title optimization where we focused on title optimization as a key factor for getting top positions in Google.

With the phrase "post title optimization" MakeMoneyWithKassper currently holds number 1 position in Google from 2.340.000 search results. That is a living proof that it is indeed one the most important factors for getting those top results.

When deciding on the post title tags, you have to focus on the following:

1. Focus on your readers - they are the reason you are posting in the first place so you should always chose the title to make it interesting for your readers.

2. Focus On The Content - meaning that you should stick with your topic and try to be as descriptive as you can

3. Make Title Tags Memorable! - use title tags to make them eye catching and easy to remember. For example - my post is called "Get In The Google Top 10 - Post Title Optimization" - the phrase "get in the Google Top 10" is very eye catching and very memorable, but if the post was called just "Post Title Optimization" it wouldn't have had the same effect ;)

4. Try To Use Less Competitive Title Tags - don't try and get in the top 10 by choosing a phrase that is too competitive because you will get disappointed. Try to choose tags that are not so popular but still get a decent user search on the internet.

5. Use Capital Letters For Every Word In The Title - it's just not the same - for example "add categories to blogger" is not nearly as effective as "Add Categories To Blogger"

Try to take all of this into consideration when creating a title for your post. Your readers will start to notice it and they will come back. That's the general idea in the first place ;)

SuperBad is a movie about two socially inept teenage boys who are about to graduate high school. They sign up for different colleges and that's where the story gets complicated... After reviewing the videos I can't wait for the movie.

It's kinda cool how they are taking over YouTube with the videos, what better way to promote the film than YouTube which is number 4 on Alexa Ranking. Go over to YouTube when it's on and try to learn from from them how to promote with a bang - because that's just what they are doing ;)
