Monetize Your Blogs With Automated Ads

In a previous post Expert WordPress Video Review I shared with you a free SEO ready and secure WordfPress installer that you can install in just 3 clicks.

Today I have another free service that will help you monitize your blog.

It’s the new Automated Advertising “Bot”…

It’s a system to automate your advertising by getting more traffic to the ads that are profitable for you…automatically.

This is actually pretty cool, you’re going to love it.

  • What IS Automated Ads and what can it do?

It’s a site preloaded with banners for the different categories at ClickBank. You simply plug in your ClickBank ID, and the system generates banners all pointing to your affiliate link.

Once you have selected your category, size of banner, and number of banners to rotate, Automated Ads does the rest. Banners are shown based on their performance which makes your campaigns more and more profitable over time.

Another really cool feature is Automated Ads will automatically test out new popular ClickBank products as they are added to ClickBank for you.

So once you set this up, you never have to worry about which offers are converting for you or not, nor do you have to continually monitor what ClickBank has to offer. Affiliate marketing couldn’t get any easier!

  • How much does it cost?

Here’s the best part…right now it’s free.

The downside to the free application, however, is that you can’t rotate any of your own banners to your own sites, or banners to sites not currently in the program.

The upside is that you can upgrade your account and have free reign at adding whatever banners you want. Plus, you’ll also get 4 other scripts and software tools that allow you to automate your traffic, and ultimately your sales!

10 Tips to Keep Your Readers Interested for Longer

The key to a great blog is great readers. Many writers find that they struggle to acquire and maintain a large or consistent base of readers. There are a lot of factors that contribute to the success and the popularity of a blog and there are a lot of tricks that can help you master these factors. The following ten tips will help you create a blog that keeps your readers interested for longer and provides you with greater blogging success.

  1. Great Content: The best way to keep a steady reader base is to provide great content. The content that tends to thrive in the blogging world, is content that empowers or enables the reader. Come up with excellent “how to” articles or inspire your readers to try something new or expand their horizons. Blogs that help the reader feel productive will have the most loyal readers.
  2. Popular Posts: Having a list of your most popular blog posts at the top or side of your website will allow readers to get to the meat of your blog. If a reader struggles through an uninteresting blog post, he or she is extremely likely to leave the site and never return. If the reader has access to a list of the best articles, however, he or she is likely to find an article to immediately connect with.
  3. RSS Feed: An RSS feed can be an excellent way to build a strong reader base. The feed allows readers to subscribe to your blog. Whenever a new blog is posted, readers will be notified via email. This prevents the frustration of returning to a blog only to find that it hasn’t been updated.
  4. Comments: Many readers enjoy commenting on blogs because it allows them to engage with you and with other readers. Enabling some form of comments can help improve the success of your blog. Additionally, if an exciting conversation occurs in your blog comments, readers are likely to return to your blog to check the progression of the conversation.
  5. Frequent Posting: If you’re not posting blogs, you can’t build a strong reader base. It’s vital that you write blogs as frequently as possible. If your readers check your website once or twice without finding a new blog, they are far more likely to lose interest.
  6. Social Networking: Readers like to feel connected to bloggers. They want to know who you are, what you like, what you look like, and what you’re all about. The best way to allow your readers to feel connected to you is to link to your social networking sites. Accessibility is important and allowing your readers to be your friends on networking sites can have a positive impact on their loyalty to your blog.
  7. Related Posts: A section of related posts at the side or bottom of each blog entry can help readers find articles that they’re interested in. Linking between related blog posts is an excellent way to engage a reader for a longer period of time because they will have the option to view articles that are similar to the one that brought them to your blog in the first place.
  8. Contests: Running contests through your blog is an excellent way to get your readers to return to your site. The contests can take many forms and can be as simple as a silly photo contest. The prizes will depend on your skill, resources, and expertise. You can offer physical prizes, but it is far easier to offer digital prizes. Subscriptions, E-books, and site memberships are all excellent prizes.
  9. Ask Questions: Asking your readers a question at the end of each post can increase the comments on your blog and encourage your readers to return to your site. Because you don’t have to answer the question yourself, you can even ask challenging or controversial questions. This will encourage readers to return to check the comments and may even spark a lively debate on your blog.
  10. Excellent Headlines: A great way to get readers to read your blog posts is to provide excellent headlines. Your headlines should be both descriptive and fascinating. Lure readers in with an exciting and engaging headline that peeks their curiosity.

Jimmy D. Brown the master Internet Marketer has just announced that he is shutting down his Small Reports Zone site on February 26th at 10PM.

That’s right, ALL of his small reports at the site will
NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE for purchase after that date.

You may have heard by now, but just as a reminder, Jimmy is
“retiring” (IE Removing them from the web and no longer
selling them) ALL OF HIS OFFERS…all of his reports, ebooks,
membership sites, coaching programs, software programs, etc.

He’s beginning with all of his SR Zone reports.  These short,
meaty, low-cost reports are a gold mine of quality content
for internet marketers.

Here’s a list of what’s available…

1. Piggyback Launches: 3 Surefire Ways To Get A Steady
Stream Of Free Traffic For Any New Product

2. Homepreneur Habits: How To Run A Successful Home Business

3. How To Get Free Traffic To Your Website With Ezine Articles

4. How To Get F.R.E.E. Traffic with PLR Reports

5. 8 Irresistible Ways To Get Super Affiliates To Enlist In
Your Sales Army

6. How To Improve Your Information W.R.I.T.I.N.G.

7. The Upsell Report: How To Get Customers To Spend More Money

I’m sorry to see Jimmy shut down this site, but I’m glad
he’s giving us all a few days to grab up copies of these
gems before he pulls the plug.

**BEST PART**

The REALLY good news is this:  as part of this “goodbye”,
Jimmy is discounting the price of EVERY report to only
$10 each!

This makes these reports affordable for everyone, even
those on a strict budget.  It would be smart to order a copy
of each of these.

I *STRONGLY* recommend you grab a copy of “Homepreneur Habits”.
It’s a 65-page “operations manual”.  In it, Jimmy takes you
“behind the scenes” to look at how he runs his own business,
complete with photographs of his home office. He tells you
what software programs he uses, tools and equipment he uses
and even a schedule of tasks he performs.  At only $10, it’s
a no-brainer!  EVERY internet marketer should have a copy!

To read through a complete description of each report, visit
the SR Zone site by clicking the link below:

ALL of his offers, he has posted all of the details here…

REMEMBER, you only have a limited time to order any of the
small reports that you are interested in.  On February 26th
at 10PM the site will be shut down.  No joke!
