Well if you are only driven by money, more or less you will fail. You need to enjoy what you are doing and not because you have no other options or you'll sound really desperate. Focus on what you can do, discover your strengths and study the amount and quality of time you can devote in an object. If you have that desire nobody needs to motivate you but yourself. If everything starts heavy at the beginning you can't expect to lessen the clutter that it produce in the long run, specially if your attention is scattered to several meaningless purposes.

Of course, you don't need to be a hypocrite, but the reason you are in an online business is not just to earn money, but to succeed in it so you'll reap the benefits for a long period of time. Seek longevity of operation and not one-time huge commission for at most they are mere scams and you'll let yourself become a helpless prey of monstrous online predators. You can only fool one person once and he'll appear more stupid if he falls for it the second time, so why even do it. Well, ahh because there's no internet police who will regulate their operation and their identity is always virtually impossible to verify. I'm pretty sure in time they will be hold responsible for all this stuff they left unaccounted for.

I guess, to sum it all up, never lose your integrity for money. You only have one shot to prove it and it will take years before you can even redeem yourself when you lose it.

Finally got my page ranked by Google after 3 months of hardwork. I guess enough data had been gathered already. 55 Pages were indexed and current Page Rank of 2 and 1.7M Alexa Rank. I intend to keep it up until earnvestor land on the top 100,000 sites and increase US visitors to improve my rankings.

What does Bounce Rate mean?

Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page. Use this metric to measure visit quality - a high bounce rate generally indicates that site entrance pages aren't relevant to your visitors. The more compelling your landing pages, the more visitors will stay on your site and convert. You can minimize bounce rates by tailoring landing pages to each keyword and ad that you run. Landing pages should provide the information and services that were promised in the ad copy. Google Analytics The following are some of the factors that affect your Bounce Rate:

Inbound LinksDecreases your Bounce Rate
Inbound links are internal links that directs users back into your site. You can find some of these at the top of my page and on the Popular Related Topics Section of earnvestor. Such action decreases the Bounce Rate and increases the Time on Site spent by each user. Not only that it makes the site more effective to your readers and make them more interested on the content it also improves your rankings by the number. Of course, it is rubbish to have several inbound links if your content is not relevant to your users or readers. If it is poorly written you can't expect subscribers of repeated visits from your prospective visitors. It is one of the most significant ingredient on the success of your site. Without good content the site is dead.

Autosurf Increases your Traffic and Bounce Rate
While autosurf can increase your web traffic artificially it can do as much harm than you could imagine by increasing your Bounce Rate to more than 75%. It's not a good indication on your stats because it shows none of these visitors are even interested on the content of your site. In autosurf each site is viewed on auto pilot and only one page is shown each time the traffic is generated, none of this users are really viewing your page, they just leave it running on the background. None of these tools are helping, for you are not getting the visitors that you need that will read your content, it will increase your bounce rate and if ever you are running sponsored links you'll have very low conversion rates. This is the reason why Google discourage us to use such software while running Google Ads. They are paying for CPM on users that are not even interested to view their sites.

BackLinks
Getting quality backlinks or outside websites linking to your site also helps in improving your site rankings. The more related backlinks you have the more traffic and interested visitors you get. If you are interested in getting the most of backlinks try using LinkMarket. You can also try to LinkReferral.

I'm currently selling Sphere #624 for only $11 and I do plan to increase its value for a few more days. The main advantage of buying from members is the amount of efforts given for advertising to achieve its current position on the grid and you'll save more money rather than advertising for yourself.

It’s unfortunate that we don’t have the necessary tools to regulate the birth of new online programs that will ensure security and credibility of a site. Regardless how much caution we exercise these fraudulent acts are often committed by professionals who are driven by greed. They know exactly what they are doing, so you must make sure that you are more vigilant on dealing with other people and equip yourself with SOP that will safeguard your assets and keep your sensitive information private and secure.

It’s safe to use payment processors like Paypal and Alertpay instead of giving away your credit card details. You must expect that for a site to be stable it must have at least a secure way of processing payments and not just leave you without a choice but giving your credit card information. It’s very risky. Make sure that they have control procedures regarding monetary transactions such as SSL protocol or Secure Socket Layer. It is a global standard security technology developed by Netscape in 1994. SSL is all about encryption. It creates an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser. The link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remains private and secure and is recognized by millions of consumers by a secure padlock which appears in their browser. It is important in every e-commerce website a simple fact that allows e-Business providers an opportunity to leverage that increased trust level to turn visitors into paying customers.

An old paying site is much stable than a new site whether you are earning much higher profits. The amount of return involved is always in parallel with the level of risk that it entails, which is why we are all advised to invest only what we are willing to lose. It’s a more conservative approach in investing your valuable money. In my case, I’m willing to bet only up to $100 in a program as long as I could get it back in 3-4 weeks, I give each site 3 months evaluation before I feel settled. Sad to say, there are site that won’t even last a month or two and you’ll see your money fade away like a wind. It’s all a matter of informed judgment. Make sure the site have substantive payment proofs, listen to members’ feedback and see to it that you are ever watchful with your money. Of course you won’t lose anything if you don’t give them anything, just don’t expect that you will earn too if that’s the kind of attitude you have. Most risk-takers who learn how to be wise and play with the program are usually the ones who make it big. I’ve lost some but what I’ve gained is much greater than what I lose. I make sure every penny is not wasted so I buy stuff that will remind me of the achievement I’ve made. Do not reinvest unless you have kept at least 50-80% of the profit. That’s what most people do and in the end they lose money and weep feeling sorry for themselves for the things they should have done. I only stared at $100 and now I have $1,800 pure profit the $100 remains as a capital fund that I use to invest and profit. It’s not much of course, I have a day decent day job and I won’t replace that with an internet income. Online programs are mere opportunity that will yield extra profit and not your bread and butter. I’m not much of gambler and I never tried to unless I learn how to do it properly. You must have sufficient experience on a program before giving your money away so you’ll know how to achieve ROI in less time and earn profit within a month. We all learn from our experience, and its best that you use what you gained from it.

If you sign up as a Worker on mturk, you make money by working on HITs or Human Intelligence Tasks - this are the individual tasks provided for you to work on. Most of this tasks are relatively easy to accomplish. The good thing about mturk is that, you can work from home on your own flexible hours and get paid by simply doing a great job. In able to earn, seek for HIT's that suits your interest or skill, accept the HIT and complete the task in accordance with the Requester specification and instructions and then submit your work. Take note that you will need to accept HIT's you're qualified to complete because this will affect your statistics as a Worker. Once approved, you will receive compensation that will appear on your account or back office. The Requester may reject your submitted work if it does not meet his qualifications. This is how your back office should look like.

Your back office will show you HITs that are available to you, your current statistics and Rewards for a job well done. If you wish to receive more HITs, pass as much qualification exams as you can. This will put your account in a more competitive edge against other Workers on the site.

There are two ways to receive your earnings. You can transfer your earnings to your bank account or to your Amazon.com gift certificate balance.

As a Requester, you get results by employing the most qualified individuals who will complete your task. You have access to a global, on-demand, 24 x 7 workforce and get thousands of HITs completed in minutes. You pay only when you're satisfied with the results.

Each Requester must prepay for work they intend on acquiring through the Services by purchasing Mechanical Turk Prepaid HITs ("Prepaid HITs") from Amazon Payments, Inc. Prepaid HITs are subject to the Mechanical Turk Prepaid HITs Terms and Conditions. as per Amazon Mechanical Turk Participation Agreement 4.a.

Shorttask closely resembles mturk they offer a wide online job directory that mostly composed most of Research, Data Entry, Design and Writing. Their compensation is much lower compared to mturk because the tasks available are much simple and easier to accomplish particularly those related to link building tasks.

Shorttask connects online job seekers with providers. If you are seeking for tasks and earn money, sign up as a Solver and if you are a business organization or an individual seeking for competitive individuals to get the job done, sign up as a Seeker. In able to get paid, you need to accept the task and submit it when you are done. You are given enough time to finish the task. Once the Seeker approves your task submission, you will receive the amount which will reflect on your account immediately. The seeker has the option to reject your submission if it doesn't meet his requirements. This is how your back office should look like.

Payments are available through Paypal when you reach the minimum required amount to cashout of $10.

]]><![CDATA[Starting Your Own Website]]>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:21:07 -0800http://www.earnvestor.com/1/post/2009/10/starting-your-own-website.htmlI have made a choice to own a website for future internet business expansion. Of course everybody has the option to maintain a free website on a sub-domain like the infamous Blogger, but then I opted to maintain mine to get it all set-up. I started of on a template and modify some features to let the elements flow into my content. I have little knowledge of Website Optimization and I keep learning each day until I found the book of O’Reilly regarding Website Optimization. Let’s start of with the design.

What Is Professional Design?

* Professionally designed sites share a number of traits, including
* Credibility-based logo and layout that conform to accepted and tested usability standards
* Pleasing color scheme
* Persuasive copy that is benefit-oriented
* Error-free, and relevant to a target audience
* Relevant graphics to engage users and
* Meaningful markup that is easily updated all wrapped up in a responsive, intuitively navigable package.

I suggest you get yourself a copy of that book and it will surely help. Once your site is up, test it for optimization on websiteoptimization.com

Another good website analysis is here http://websitegrader.com/ I also found this site that includes a wide selection of professional web templates, its pretty affordable and you won't get disappointed with the design. Once my traffic rank increases, I'm going to purchase mine.

Purchasing a Domain

Both the content of your site and your domain name will attract crawlers in the way you want. Using a domain name containing a keyword from your content usually improves your site ranking. When purchasing a domain name its important that you know the right cost for you. I highly recommend GoDaddy, they offer very economical costs for domain names starting from $1.99 a year. The cheapest among the domains will include those that of .info but if you’re serious about internet blogging and you offer a business opportunity go for the ones that include the most common and popular .com domains. Most web hosting plans offer unlimited domain names, if you wish to get you domains exclusive then purchase the package of .net, .org, .biz and so on...

Web Hosting Plans

When it comes to web hosting look for the ones that have very good reviews and performance. You don’t want a site that is always down and inaccessible to your viewers. This are my top 10 list according to cost-cutting measure and exemplary performance.

]]><![CDATA[How to Increase your Alexa Rank]]>Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:49:34 -0800http://www.earnvestor.com/1/post/2009/10/how-to-increase-your-alexa-rank.htmlearnvestor.com is not even a month old when I tried inserting alexa widgets. I started at 25M+ rank and now im up to 4.9M in just two weeks. I have no prior experience on SEO, but I’ve done my homework and research on some of the most effective ways to improve my alexa ranking.

Step 1. Download Alexa Toolbar and Alexa Site Widgets
Get your Alexa Toolbar here http://www.alexa.com/toolbar Get Sparky - Alexa Toolbar, once installed you can see current traffic rank on each site you visit on the status bar and an additional menu button showing Related Links just next to Help on the menu bar. The toolbar is completely free, safe and secure. The widget is available on IE and Mozilla Firefox browsers.

Step 2. Insert Alexa Widgets on your websites
It comes on various forms either a logo, graph or your currently updated traffic rank. You can find them here. At http://www.alexa.com/siteowners just enter your website domain address and copy paste the HTML code to your site.

Step 3. Register your domain on Alexa Listing and upload the info text file on your main site directory. http://www.alexa.com/siteowners This can be found on Edit your Site Info portion

Step 4. Write about a topic on how to improve your alexa ranking such as this. I guess its more like a viral advertising campaign coz you are encouraged to share this information to your friends to use the toolbar and site widgets.

After you’ve done the preliminary steps you go right ahead on improving your website performance.

Why it is important to promote your alexa rank?

Having a decent traffic rank gives your site a competitive edge on probable advertising income opportunity. Once your site belongs to the top 100,000 around the globe you have all the right to offer advertising space on your site and attract high paying pay per click ads like those on google, bidvertiser or adbrite, etc. Most advertisers would not wish to show their ads on low-performing sites since they are paying generous amounts on each click that users make. They only want to target prospective clients who have genuine interest on their advertisement and keeping their way off click fraud.

]]><![CDATA[How to Get Direct Referrals]]>Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:27:33 -0800http://www.earnvestor.com/1/post/2009/10/how-to-get-direct-referrals.htmlI have overcome this issue just weeks ago, although I’d been an online entrepreneur since March of 2009. Like you, I have struggled to get just one, but now I have maximized the benefit of this strategy. Some one have told me before that you must create a positive image towards a community in able to get one, but that is one thing - tedious because it takes time and energy. Instead of concentrating your efforts to make your online business prosper, you get caught up with unnecessary activities. If you’re a busy man who hardly have time to do this then follow this simple steps and I’m sure you’ll get what you need in no time.

Provide Decent Payment Proofs
It is the first step in attracting people to sign up. You must have proof of payments to let them know that you are not wasting their time on the site. This has helped me a lot, payment proofs speak for itself you won’t need fancy advertising pitches, when they see that they will definitely sign up and some may even invest.

Know your Target Market
If you wish to earn more, target people who have the capacity to invest. If you’re going to advertise your referral link on places you know that don’t have a computer or reliable internet connection, all your efforts will become useless. You need to find a site where you could see people with the same interest. There are a number of paid to post forums or money making communities who are interested in residual income, better start from there.

Aggressive Advertising of your Referral Link
When I say, aggressive, that definitely means non-stop. There’s no stiff competition coz there are millions of people who have never heard of your program. You can start on traffic exchanges, online communities where you are already in. You don’t need to join another one, believe me, it’s hard to manage. When you find one, concentrate on that. I was able to get 50% of my referrals from traffic exchange. You can also find referrals from PTC sites; most members won’t hesitate using your referral link if you present it wisely.

How to Present Your Referral Link
Use a splash page; this should contain your referral link banner and payment proofs. Say something good about the site and why they should join. Here’s an example of my effective splash page. You don’t need to spend money on creating a site; you can use weebly or yolasite for free (click here for more info on starting your first website). They can take care of everything. Be generous on the information, don’t just advertise to get referrals you need to show them that you want them to join coz the site rocks!!! Enough said, don’t use the referral link directly that is showing the index page of the site itself coz they will definitely delete your name on the referral box. Remember they don’t even know you. There are just people you can’t understand, coz they are ignorant on how referral system works. They don’t want people to earn more than they can but they are willing to belong on the renting pool clicking for someone who never even invited them and then complain why other people are not using they ref link when they advertise.

Friends and Family
Its just odd combination, coz they are the first people you want to invite but they are also the first to refuse to join. You can’t blame them for being skeptical, but once they see your iPhone and Apple MAC computer, I doubt if they will still have second thoughts. The program only takes 5 minutes of your time. You’re crazy not to join and say that it’s foolish. You’re buying a virtual product and you let your money grow from it, more like revenue sharing programs.

Incentives to Loyal Direct Referrals
I don’t have second thoughts providing this to my direct referrals that joined 3 or more of my programs with no strings attached. If they don’t require compensation or exchange I give them what they deserve. Of course this is completely optional, but if you’re earning more than $100 a week it won’t hurt to give one week of your income to develop long-term business relationship with this people. Don't leave them behind, teach them how to fish and you will be glad for the results.

Well this is how I got my 75 referrals on just one program in less than 2 months. I have 20 in other programs and at most I have a minimum of 10 on other ones. It really depends which program you like to concentrate on, as long as you’re polite and generous I doubt if you’ll have any problems. I started this strategy last August of 2009 and I’m grateful for the results.
