I am on the experimentation stage but I have some tips that I could share to you and here it is.

1. You need to have Google Adsense and Amazon Affiliate in order for you to earn. You may only use Adsense if you want.
2. Try to make a keyword rich post and make it a lenghty one I would suggest an article that range from 250 – 300 words with about 5% keywords.
3. Use social media sites in promoting your hubs, Hubpages is well seo’d that is why it will not have problem in doing seo by itself. I did not do anything for seo and yet my post is having visitors and clicks from the visitors.
4. You can track your Google AdSense earnings by placing hubpages.com at url channel track at Google adSense if you want to track earning at hubpages.com
5. Make an original article for hubpages.com so that it will not be marked as spam by Google.
6. Try to comment at other hubs with same niche as yours.
7. Post your hubpages at facebook, twitter etc.

But what are the Negative side of it ?

1. You don’t have control over your site since you are using hubpages.com , I can say that new bloggers would be better to use hubpages.com while they are making their site more optimize.
2. Hubpages.com is having part of your earnings.
3. You need to have a minimum word count in order for your article to be published.
4. you cannot put your adsense code in the place you want , they have full control over it.

There might be some dis advantages as discussed above but still it is worth to try. Check it and Start Earning from it. I might do another post about this after a moth. And let’s that this would be one of Passive income source.  Would appreciate if you could comment in my hubpages

Any suggestion from my reader who is using hubpage for a long time ?

I just want to inform you that I got my first ever payment from admob.com , I actually forget about it and I just found out that they have sent me a $20.36 additional fund at my paypal account.

So this is just a proof that admob is paying. Because of this, I made my other WordPress blog , Mobile Ready Site. You can see lots of plug-in in your dashboard on how to become a mobile ready site.

Admob Payment

So I just like to thank admob.com and my mobile visitors for giving me extra income. I expect more to come since I have enrolled my other blogs to become mobile ready

My mobile traffic is really ow but I know someday it will also grow. So why don’t you make your bog mobile ready site and enjoy passive income from your bog. Admob is just one of my source of income in this blog.

Factor 3: U.S. Search Engine Traffic/SEO

Search engine traffic is extremely targeted, and advertisers are willing to pay better for this type of traffic.  People coming to your site from search engines are most often the people who click on ads.  And specifically to Chitika, our Premium ads will only show to this type of traffic!

Your Account  – 66.95%
Chitika Top Performer Averages – 46.60%

Awesome – looks like you are already doing great with your SEO! Even though you are already an "expert" in this area

Yes you saw it right, I am an expert   LOL , I cannot believe that top Chitika Publishers is having only 46.60 % percent coming from the search engine. But since my Chitika ads is place somewhere in the bottom of my blog post and not positioned to optimized the ads. I don’t have a very good CTR. In fact it is really very low compared to top 50.

and for the record I have not earn much money from them yet.

I would like to thank Chitika for having this kind of study and evaluation. and reminding me to do some work in order to earn from their system. What about you ? Are you sucessfull with Chitika ? If you have not yet tried it you can enroll here ( Referral Affiliate Links )

I will not put the figures but the percentage only. You just have to calculate from my report last year ok

The above graph shows my AdSense earnings this year compared to last year. I may say that it triples my earnings this year in AdSense Alone. But if you will deduct the expenses for hosting at Dreamhost I may say that it is only a few dollar from my earnings. I was also able to do private Advertising thru forums and contacts in the industry. If I will sum it up ( including Peyd post , Which I already stop doing ) I can say that in this year I made 5 times on what I have last year.

It was a really great year for me and I am looking for another great year to come. I am now studying the ins and outs of Affiliate Marketing and I know I still have lots to learn. So If you want to know the details about it, just keep an eye in my Personal Blog because it is there where I will details the finding that I may find with Affiliate Marketing. Paypal ( Affiliate links ) helps a lot in doing Online Transaction because I am able to transfer payment from Paypal ( Affiliate links ) to my Citibank Credit Card.

I stop doing Peyd Post since I am having issues with my blog indexing and SEO Matters in this blog.

Always remember the saying don’t put the eggs in one basket. try to find other source of income and make your blog as an entrance to those things. Don’t be afraid to look for other niche, try to understand the system and later you will be able to understand it.

Upon checking my Adsense stats I found out that my CTR decrease to about 22%, This is mainly because of the Direct Advertisers but I was able to increase my daily earnings because mainly on blog traffic that I in my last post about 2008 Blogging Statistics.

Here is my statistics for this blog alone

So How will you know the Pages with lots of Visit from Search Engine ?

It is simple you just have to learn how you can track your visitors from Google Anaytics. I have made a post about Google Analytics function and how it can help you gain more visitors. You have to remember that those visitors will give you good earnings if your ads are properly placed.

After knowing those pages that gives lots of visitors from search engine you may now put the Google Adsense link codes that you made in Adsense site. You can directly paste it with in the post or you can use Adsense Ad Manager Plug-in ( I have not used this one for a long time ). It is up to you to decide.

What Size of Google Adsense Links ?

I use 180 x 90 with 4 links to display. Well you can experiment in your site on what will be the bet option.

Where to Put the Codes ?

Well it defends in your content, you can put it just after the title or your can float it in left or right, well it is up to you to decide. You have to make some experiments in order to get the highest CTR. ( Click Thru Rate ) from Google AdSense.

Assurance of Success

Well it works for me, and I think it might also work for you. I also think that since search engine visitors are looking for information, any links that they will see in your page that relates on his aim will be clicked.

I also have other Adsense and Basic Seo Tips that was posted a year ago.

Testing if it Works

You can record your Google adSense earning and stats today as you baseline or you can install click aider to know what part works best. But of course driving Google Adsense BOT only to your content will help to get a related ads for that particular post. You also have to take note the CTR of your new codes after a week. Having about 4% to 5% CTR is a good sign already but if you could make it higher it will be better.

In all your experiments you should always have a baseline so you know if your being successful or failure.

To get the information they approached 20 top-tier tech bloggers and social media consultants, half of them responded (so this isn’t a massive sample).

Their research only involves a small group of Tech blogger and here is their findings,

Most bloggers getting paid about $25 a post (with the full range being between $10-$200 a post).

• In house/Full time bloggers earn annual pay of between $45,000 to $55,000 (with benefits) and up to $70,000-$90,000 with bonuses.
• The real money seems to be in consulting with hourly rates not below $150 an hour and $300 an hour the most common rate named.

Keyword ads will remain the dominant type of Internet advertising throughout the forecast period, capturing more than a third of annual online ad spending worldwide. Display ads will be the next largest type of Internet advertising, capturing more than 20% of worldwide spending annually through 2011, followed by classified ads with nearly 19% of all online ad spending per year. Spending in both categories will be pressured by rich media ads, which are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 50% during the 2007-2011 forecast period.

With this kind of report which is written and published all over News Media and Blogosphere this lead to a conclusion that Internet Marketing will have it’s boost some day. So if someone is now earning about $100 a month time will come that he can earn about $1,000 or even $5,000 a month. This could also happen to Filipinos, It will just depend on how an individual Internet marketer will deal with his fashion.

It is also not impossible that someday I can also earn as much as Php 200,000 in Blogging like James.

I made this post just to inform you guys that there is really money in the Internet and it is not a hoax. I don’t have Make Money Online Blogs but occasionally I share some thoughts about Problogging or Making Money Online on this Blog.

But You can also be updated on those occasional post if you will Subscribe to me via email or FREE RSS Feeds

Are you willing to remove your AdSense in exchange of Direct Advertising. For me I do , If advertisers are willing to pay 10 times of my present income. Why it’s too much ? Nope it is not nobody knows what will be the future of your site, Visitors is going up as per Google Analytics am I sure that after a year I still have this single digit per day or I will have 2 digit per day . Who knows. I think If I will have to decide on that matter, I will have to put both but reduce the AdSense and get Direct Advertisers.

Where to get Direct Advertisers ?

Usually Direct Advertisers came from Forums. One forum I know that can give lots of Direct Advertisers with right amount is Digital Point and Site Point. Well I tried doing business in Digital Point but not in Site Point. There is also V7n.com.

I have seen some top sites that get advertiser thru bigger Advertising deal, Big means those advertisers that only advertise in Media Prints or Television. I think you have to prove something before you can get those advertisers. Well I personally don’t know how to get one. Usually those big advertiser go to News Paper Site, or Well known media site who have millions of visitors per month.

Just to inform you those Direct Advertisers link at my homepage and side bar gives more income way far behind AdSense.

Maybe some of you will ask why don’t I put my Advertising Page, Well I am planning to put one but as you can see, I need to first re-arrange my theme or I prefer link advertisers, so that it will not annoy my visitors but does it annoys ?

What are the usual requirements of Direct Advertisers ?

1. No of Visitors and Page Views
2. Alexa Rank
3. Google PR
4. SERP Position

If I am going to ask you , which do you prefer AdSense or Direct Advertisers. But before doing any direct negotiation it would be better if you PayPal .
