Well, here’s a blog that I have been working on since couple months ago.  As you can see, ProGolferDigest.com has been around almost a year now and I was getting like good decent traffic of around 200-300 uniques per day.  The site went down for couple days due to my lazyness.

Since March, I have been doing about 1-3 posts per day, all targeted at my SEO target keywords but found that this golf is still one of the best kept hidden goldmines.

Basically, the traffic growth resulted all from Google search terms.  Hence, this type of blog is explosive for making money online as a large number of your readers are people searching on Google and other search engines.

I’ve also learned that when you write a post about current events such as the U.S. Open, you get a spike of search engine traffic due to the people who are searching for it.

With just couple Adsense, this blog is making almost couple clicks, which isn’t too bad.

I think with a larger traffic such as around 2000 pageviews per day, this type of blog can make about $50-100 per day due to the “niche” of the blog.  The golf blog world hasn’t even started, there’s not enough golf blogs yet…

By end of this year maybe that could happen if I keep blogging daily about golf…man I’d rather play golf.  (That’s why I end up going golfing because I write about it…works I guess…)

This is my mindset for Multiple Blogs

Grow multiple blogs  and start watching which one grows faster, and then concentrate on those fast blogs to expect some results.

The slower blogs can be slow so really adjust your focus on building the blogs that are “growing” faster.

I think you need to really have multiple blogs in order to be successful at making money blogs as you can’t rely on one subject.

Once you develop couple really interesting topics for you and your niche market, you simply grow it with all the other blogs but watching the results in-between.

Which ever blog is growing faster, meaning more “search engine” traffic increase over a period of time, you need to put all your bloggers and blog posts onto those blogs.

Eventually, every site you run will increase in reputation and rankings if any one site increases due to the “network” structure of multiple blogs.  The opposite can happen, but you can simply deplete that link if the worst comes to worst.

Well, that’s my theory anyways.

If you have a better one, please feel free to suggest and use the comments.

Well, recently I got really really sick like a dog and could not “blog” for 3-4 days.  Although I have realized it before, I realize again that making money online rules over any 9 to 5 job.

Okay, here’s some reasons why making money online rules over a JOB (Just Over Broke):

1. You are your own boss.  You blog when and where you want to.

2. Even if you have a job and blogging is a part-time thing for you, you still earn “residual” income.

3. When you get sick, you can stop “blogging” for couple days and still get paid.  (Web traffic doesn’t stop because you stop blogging)

4. You get to go grocery shopping when everyone else is working at a “job”.

5. You are too lazy to wear more than a boxer and a tank-top to work.

6. You save thousands of dollar per year on gas/commuting and you helped save some carbon footprint.

7. You can “schedule” your blog posts up to 3 months in advance and go on a long vacation.

8. Next time someone asks you where you work, you simply reply, “I run a web business.”

9. Even if American economy is bad, you web business is good as your “customers (readers)” consist of people from all over the world, not just the U.S.

10. Your monthly salary gets better, better, and better the more you blog.  (Talk about being stuck at the same job for more than 1 year and getting the same pay???)

Well, that’s just 10 more reasons to make money online than living day-to-day from your job that might just be the worst fall-back insurance if something happens.  (you get laid off…)

When I first started blogging, I had a full time job and I did 30+ blog posts per day.  That was hard life when I got up 5AM to get to work, then get home at 10PM after fighting traffic to do 30+ blog posts.

Although I still have it pretty easy since I don’t have a full time job, I can use that time for personal development such as working on my golf game or spending time with my family.

God, America is probably one of the worst places to get a job nowdays.  It’s the truth.  Unless you got some hookups or you are top 10% of your graduate class, it’s gonna be real hard to get a job nowdays that will pay your rent and more.

Last thing I said to myself before being laid off at my last job, “I will never ever work for anyone ever again.  Employers are masters and employees are slaves.  Why do we repeat the freakin’ high school history over and over again!  Capitalism sucks… not unless you work for yourself.”

Well, I admit that I have been testing out Yahoo Publishers program in the last couple days.

Yahoo Publishers Program is basically Adsense from Yahoo.  It launches about a year and half ago and it’s been steadily growing in number of advertisers and publishers.

Zack Johnson even made over $400K in just couple months.

But that’s not the point of this blog post.

The point is that I did a test with Zedomax.com and have found that:

1) Google Adsense provides better context-matched ads, meaning more people will click on your ads because they are more relevant.

2) Yahoo provides better payouts per click.  (This might vary but for tech, this proved to be true)

3) You need to try both and test out to see which program gives you a better payout at the end of the day.

In conclusion, I am making 2-3 times more money now with Yahoo Publisher Program for Zedomax.com.

Why?

Because certain niche topics get better payouts with the Yahoo Publisher Program.  For Zedomax.com, I actually get only 60-70% of clicks compared to Google Adsense, yet Cost-per-Click is about 3 times higher, so I end up making 2-3 times more money at the end of the day.

But I think this will only work if you are already getting a high number of clicks.  If you are getting less than 10 clicks per day, you might not see as a big differece.

If you do get more than 10 clicks per day, I highly suggest you try them out.

I haven’t tested all the blogs so I might start doing that one by one and see how well it does for my other blogs.

Remember not to put Google ads and Yahoo ads on the same page, that’s against the ToS.  However, you can put them in “different” pages and see how they perform.

Here’s a video interview with John Chow from AdTech 2008:

Since John reviewed our site couple days ago and I found out he was going to be at AdTech, I figured there would be a good chance of running into him and thanking him for the review. I also made up some quick questions to find out “secrets” behind John Chow’s success and to seek advice for monetizing SiteHoppin.com.

Plus, AdTech was great, I didn’t know there were hundreds of advertising/publisher programs. I might go there tomorrow again to actually find some new ways to monetize our site so and maybe do couple more video interviews with more bloggers.

We are having a crazy $500 worth of pages sale at OneBuckWiki.com and FiveDollarWiki.

(This will depend on the cost of page. So if we have sold 1000 pages, each page is worth $10, so you get 50 pages!  If we have not, you COULD get 500 pages but we doubt this as we will hit 1000 in the next couple days for sure.)

Simply, the user with the highest submission of articles in the next week will get it.  The contest will end next week so get all your money making articles submitted here.  Remember, it doesn’t have to be yours!

OneBuckWiki was just launched yesterday. We’ve sold almost 22 pages within 24 hours of the launch.

The money making wikis are in now. These will spawn like blogs there are out there today. Maybe someone can make a WikiNorati?

Here’s the Press release that will go out in couple days:

OneBuckWiki.com Press Release - One Buck Wiki was just launched!

Zedomax Network, a San Francisco based Web2.0 company, has just launched a new website called OneBuckWiki.com

The One Buck Wiki is a new community of entrepreneurs, web marketers, and normal people who want to promote their businesses online and benefit from the collective traffic that’s generated by other page-owners and One Buck Wiki’s viral marketing.

Users can buy a page for only 1 dollar (Limited Time Only). As page-owners, they can promote a blog, e-store, or any other website(s). The page(s) users buy will solely have their content and no one else’s.

A page on the One Buck Wiki can be edited just as a user would edit a page in Wikipedia. The main difference between the two is that the One Buck Wiki can be used to promote an e-store, a blog, or any other products or services.

The One Buck Wiki is created by the creators of the Five Dollar Wiki at FiveDollarWiki.com, which was also launched only couple days ago.

They are a team of underground “moonlighters” that work around the clock to create the next Internet marketing tool.

The One Buck Wiki is based on a highly powerful business model that allows users to benefit from overall sales of pages and viral marketing.

The One Buck Wiki has just launched its beta stage and they have millions of unclaimed pages where the user can choose their own words or phrases such as “iPod Store”, “Business”, or “Web Development”.

There have been a number of “million dollar” ideas on the Internet in the past couple months including the Million Dollar Wiki (MDW), and the Million Euro Wiki (MEW).

The MDW (MillionDollarWiki.com) and MEW (MillionEuroWiki.com) offered Internet users the chance to own a piece of history at $100 each.

The MillionDollarWiki does seem to have excited the Internet crowd, with some customers buying up to fifteen pages at a time. Pages have even been traded, with the “Business” page selling on eBay for $6100.

Basically, the difference between the MillionDollarWiki and the OneBuckWiki is that a person can buy a page for one dollar instead of one hundred dollars.

In addition, the page(s) people buy now will ultimately gain at least 10 fold its original value at every 1000 pages that the One Buck Wiki sells.

“A page bought on the One Buck Wiki today could be worth $1000 when 100,000 pages are sold.”

With the One Buck Wiki, people can buy pages that will multiply in value automatically with growth of the website itself.

Even with all the directories and social bookmarking sites available today, Internet users are demanding more and they want to interact with the latest online marketing strategies available.

While social bookmarking sites like Stumbleupon, Reddit, and Digg are soaring in popularity, the One Buck Wiki team is pouncing on the opportunity to generate both massive online traffic and income with their new project.
