I've been running a powerful SU profile for the past few weeks, just broke 11k favorites and have just over 100 followers as of right now. My profile has just been growing and gaining in popularity...

Looking forward to working on a few of these - can bring in some decent money, no? I think I have enough skills for proper SEO work, and over time I have learned a ton from blogs and forums like...

I wouldn't even waste the money. I mean all of the resources you need can be found online through blog posts and forum threads, so why even buy a book? I guess this is just my personal opinion, to...

A lot of people ignore common things like meta tags and title tags, whereas these are the simplest and best on-page SEO you can do. Of course it gets down to inlinks and external links, keywords,...

I find that most of my blog articles are anywhere from 400-600 words long, and this seems like a great range where users aren't bored and staring at walls of text, but Google still finds enough...

Can you make money selling affiliate products and only earning a cheap cut on them? I am selling a few e-books through affiliate links and I'm earning about $5 per sale, whereas they sell for about...

E-mail lists aren't totally needed. I find that more of my money is made through visitors purely to my blog or website seeing an ad or affil link on there, clicking it and having an interest to...

I understand what the concept of keyword research is - looking up profitable keywords and search trends, writing a blog post or page about it and then ranking #1 for the SERPS. However is this really...

I have noticed this a lot. It shows in my SERPS as well, as I can write an article and already be ranking for my keywords shortly after (mostly within a day).

I haven't had any issues keeping my Wordpress blogs secure. I am happy with the way my website's are going, and Wordpress is such a great platform to build up a blog

Give the guy a break, he was just having a little fun! The life of a banker is a stressful one, I'm sure we all can agree

I have started writing a ton of posts for my blog, and I want to publish them at different dates and times to fill up some of my empty archives (for example, I have no posts from August 2009). If I...

Interesting proxy, useful for hiding my IP on many sites :D

This is a huge list thanks! And thanks for sharing that link to Wordpress Ultimate Plugins Smart Update whatever... it's really cool! I am always having trouble pinging to let Google and other SE's...

Pligg really isn't that bad, especially if you have a little understanding of PHP because you can fix any bugs or errors you run into. Plus with that knowledge, you can customize your own modules and...

I've worked with CGI proxies before and have been doing those, but not all of them work. I do have a VPN account into my school which I take FULL advantage of as a completely unique IP, but it's hard...

I am looking for which proxies are the best to use when trying to increase Diggs? This would mean it would be a proxy which can handle logging in and storing sessions, but also works with JavaScript...

What I am working on right now is building up traffic. I figure if I don't worry too much about making money on my sites and generally try and build up traffic and readers, this will help in the end...

I have figured out that as long as the website and community gains a lot of views and visitors, you can make money any way! I am thinking of renting out some ad space and charging directly, but we'll...

I have a few different Twitter accounts, each with a few thousand followers in targeted niches. Is it possible to make a decent amount of money through Twitter, basically posting hoplinks and...

I don't have an entire list, but I run 2 DoFollow blogs: 1 PR3 and the other PR4. Feel free to leave comments on my articles if you want backlinks, I try to get as many comments as I can which is my...

I see... yeah I never really thought of just making the links NoFollow. I wish I didn't have to do it, but unfortunately I think that's the best way to make it so spammers don't even bother with my...

Currently know PHP and MySQL very well, and that's really all I've needed to work on my sites and build great apps. I do have to say I'm interested in learning JavaScript a bit deeper than I know it...

I am also trying to speed up my Wordpress blog.. Once you end up with one too many plugins and active areas to your website, load time seems to end up through the roof. Granted it's not impossible or...

I've started updating my blogs a lot more! I have noticed that all of the successful blogs started off updating their blogs at least once a day, and I am striving to do this as well. I find that it...

I've never seen any Drupal theme like this. My suggestion would be to just customize the default theme, it's simple enough where you could make it into a plain white theme with a couple columns for...

StumbleUpon traffic has actually worked wonders for me, but I use it as actual traffic and not to market some crappy product I want to sell. People find my websites naturally through SU and then like...

I may try selling some ad space, although I don't know where I'll start on pricing but it seems like the best way to make money online. AdSense and other PPC networks haven't worked well with me and...

The blogging takes up a lot of time and energy, but if you are making money through your blog posts then it seems effortless. If I knew I was being paid to get up in the morning and log into my...

In order to answer your question, just keep backlinks coming into your site from high-PR websites. Your site gets its rank from other sites giving you PR-juice, so keep posting on forums with your...

The biggest factor is Unique Visitors / Pageviews, as these are where the actual money happens. How Google ranks you is important and everything, but you can always re-optimize a website for better...

I couldn't agree more, everything you've said makes 100% sense. I run a pretty popular website with a few 125x125 ad blocks, I'm hoping to have a total of 8 spaces and sell them for $350-$400/mo....

There are so many days recently where I've had bad creative block, no idea what to do and can't really just get the design juices flowing. Any suggestions for web galleries or sites to check out to...

It's honestly not hard at all, just know your shit. If you are a hard worker and can do both the design (Photoshop, graphics, icons) and the coding (XHTML, CSS, maybe some JavaScript) you'll be set...

Google is Google... whether they do or don't fake clicks, they're going to put on the mask that they don't because they're a professional business. I honestly can't see them doing anything like that,...

That's weird you're getting this issue, I've never seen or heard of it happening before... maybe try deleting the plug-in and download it again, then re-upload the latest version and activate that...

If you're looking for a marketing or internet "make money online" forum to stick with, chill here and Digital Point. I look at it like this:

NetBuilders - Small - Mid-sized suburban town

Welcome to the board dude. Always ask tons and tons of questions it's the only way to learn. Best of luck with your marketing, I believe everyone who has the willpower to sign up and post to...

Wow 7 times a DAY! I can't even imagine having that type of responsibility, you need to be near a computer with internet for at least an hour or two every day to accomplish that. I give you credit,...

I plan on launching a brand new gaming website. It's a great idea, and I have a lot of brand new sections for the site - blog, forum, news reel, etc. I want to monetize the best I can on the site,...

I am running a gaming website right now, drawing in about 30k-45k pageviews monthly. I have noticed my traffic steadily increasing, and I plan to be up to 100k pageviews within a month or two. My...

I am currently running 2 blogs, one of my own personal posts and another relating to popular web 2.0 and social networking sites. I try and update them as often as possible without seeming addicted...

Wow that's crazy, I just launched a site 2 months ago and I've already got PR4, and these forums are only running on PR3? I know PageRank really isn't THAT important, but I still feel a little bit...

I've been scouring the web for some good web 2.0 tutorial on creating web graphics and icons online. Similar to buttons, banners, logos, advertisements, etc... I'm wondering if anybody has any...

So realistically, backlinks from .edu domains really don't weigh any more than .com or .gov domains? Seems weird how all marketers will make a big deal about it when it really doesn't mean anything

CPALead is horrible. Their CPA is a huge popup that blocks all the rest of your content and pisses off your users, it's really not a great ad network. I would say try another CPA network instead of...

That makes sense, since I figured not anybody could just register a .edu domain. I wonder if Google gives them higher PR values and such because of the heightened TLD value.

It's cheaper and easier to just write it yourself. You don't need to be super smart or write in lawyer talk to have one, just a simple TOS and Privacy Policy is good for running a website.

The interviews you posted are with people from Net Builders community? Very interesting, I'll give them a read

I just had this article on my site Blogger Den, it's really great! I have left a few comments but many of the sites don't even work anymore.

I actually currently run AdBrite and it seems pretty decent. I have no complaints or anything with them, but they do pay very low per CPM and it's hard to make money with them. But the more you work...

It's all about building up the popularity and branding of your site. If you continue to build your traffic and content, you'll continually gain a more popular blog over time. Once you think you're...

I got a great new years gift from Google's PR!

I just bought Blogger Den / It's like Digg, but for bloggers! about 2 months ago at a PR0 domain, and I built it all the way up to PR4 in a matter of...

I always read that backlinks from .edu domains stand for a lot more than .com or .net. I have always wondered why this is, and never really found an answer.

vBulletin, and the new features are astounding. The most notable are new profile pages (both look and feel and interactivity), new portal page, and new theme styles. There are probably smaller...

I don't think Google is the one doing this, it's only Bing and Yahoo! according to the article. However Google may be doing something similar, I'm just glad I don't live in India so I don't need to...

If I sign up with the same/similar name but completely different address do you think that would slide? Because I'm pretty sure I can get away with that piece of cake

This is another situation that greatly depends on the niche of the site, how many visitors you plan to have, and how much work you honestly want to put into the blog. I find that if you really want...

Yes but the actual values of PR are only released every couple of months, so realistically it's hard to see how your backlinks are working for you until they release this.

Photoshop has to be it, all the way! You can find free downloads everywhere, or you can pay the insane price Adobe expects from you for it...

I'm wondering if it's possible for me to pay for Diggs/Stumbles of my articles? Pardon me if this is against the marketplace rules in any way (I didn't see anything against this type of topic) but I...

I found this great AMA on Reddit (AMA stands for Ask Me Anything, sort of like an open Q&A for the entire Reddit community). Anyways a random Redditor started this topic and he has a few sites which...

Exactly how I feel too! Google knows I've put in all this hard work for building backlinks, so they want to reward me with some nice PR juice. :thumbsup:

I always hear how PR isn't important, but it really does play a factor in the amount of money you can charge for advertising. People who run AdSense or another PPC network generally don't need to...

Yeah you really do have some skills to be proud of. You should keep us updated in the future with your earnings, it's very interesting to see other internet entrepreneurs rise to the top.

This wouldn't be impossible, I'm sure my mom or someone wouldn't mind registering technically under their name or something. Especially with how much money there is to be made using AdSense, I'm not...

So I just recently checked my websites and it turns out Google has released a PR Update! My site (which I just purchased the domain not 2 months ago) went from being a PR0 to PR4! I find this to be...

Poor Indian just can't get a break. Apparently Bing and Yahoo! have decided to censor certain keyword searches for India only. If you ask me this is a huge violation of rights of Indians, but what...

I wouldn't say they are good or bad, just another domain choice. I don't think overall it's good to work with unless your target audience is within Asia, as most people expect a website TLD to be...

PR relates to how many backlinks you have from higher-PR level sites. Don't worry if you want to change some of the pages content or title tag, this won't affect your PR at all.

I have always wanted to start up my own bulletin board. It's a website where once you get enough registered users and build up a community, you can theoretically get some devoted members to moderate...

Well of course I don't think they make that much money through AdSense, but they could always run CPM and earn tons of $$$ that way. Forums are better suited for CPM instead of PPC anyways, more...

I was banned from AdSense about a year ago, and I am looking to get an account set up again. I think it's too late for me to repeal that account, but I am wondering if I am allowed to sign up for a...

I have actually heard a lot of good thinks about TribalFusion. They seem to be pretty reliable, pay on time, and provide excellent rates. Only problem is I think they are only for larger websites -...

What does "great results" mean as well... I have gotten 5 or 6 different articles to the front page with my power alone, which I take pride in as I haven't been working seriously on internet...

I think realistically that's all I'm looking for in Squidoo. I don't expect to create my blog and referrals straight out of my lens, but rather I'd like traffic caught into my Squidoo Lens to be...

That software looks pretty interesting. I'm thinking of trying it on one of my blogs. Have you used it and can provide any feedback on the software?

I had signed up with HostGator a while back and I think the code you posted is for when you're ordering a new hosting account. It's supposed to give you a free domain I believe, which is actually a...

I guess I can see your point Commandtree, I don't think I would want to spend all this time on a Squidoo lens. I don't have any products I'm trying to sell or promote, and overall I think I would...

I think it's much better to be working all with your own money, as opposed to going through some ad network. It is interesting to compare the two, but overall I have to give credit to direct...

I don't see any negatives to blog commenting, I don't know where you see them. Blog comments give readers a chance to check out your site, the blog owner to check out your site, plus give you...

Do you know what the limit is or average number of followers most accounts need? I have one account on Twitter with about 4,000 followers (Jake Rocheleau (Ascendancy) on Twitter) and I'm sure that...

How important are long-tail keywords? I have read that if you choose the right ones and sprinkle them throughout your articles and headings, you can gain a lot of traffic through SERPS. I mostly try...

Sponsored Tweets seems like a pretty nice application, I've also registered. I am not sure if I need to actively search out people who need to have me tweet, or if I get updates like e-mails or...

Let's say the site ends up with 70,000 registered users, on average 40-50k pageviews daily. I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility with my website, it would just take a decent amount...

I know most of us need to visit sites in order for us to market our sites and promote our websites to make money, but when you go online to just chill out and have fun and NOT work on your sites,...

I think I may just try and build up the site the best that I can, gaining tons of traffic and content, and then sell it to a company or group of people looking to invest in a gaming social networking...

Exactly, what I think too many people is try to follow the norm. They either write an e-book and try to sell it through Clickbank, make a blog with a boring theme and crappy articles, or try and...

I hate telling other exactly how to design their website, as we're all web designers and we all have our own preferences for design. However what I would say for your portfolio is to Google...

They're all based on Drigg, which really isn't that great and Pligg is a lot easier to work with. I have a similar site which is also DoFollow called Blogger Den. Based on Pligg, it's a resource for...

It's pretty good, but I find Twitter to be more useful as a personal brand. Promoting your website on your personal Twitter page is what really gains you tons of traffic and views, and possibly some...

I would figure that the only SEO benefit comes from squidoo.com itself, which after a while must only be able to give so much PR juice and backlinking power. However I may try it for my new blog...

The site I'm looking to start on is in the gaming niche, more specifically a social networking site for Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy fans. It gets a lot more pageviews than unique visits so I...

Wow and this theme is free? I really appreciate you sharing this with the rest of the community, it's a unique theme with some awesome potential. Thanks again!

I have a few websites that have been running for a while, 2 blogs, a social networking site and a social news website. I am marketing and promoting the sites as best I can, and slowly but surely I'm...

It's true that this niche is heavily saturated, but that doesn't mean there's no room to break into it. You just need to have a revolutionary idea which hasn't been done yet. Share this around the...

I have found that I can earn a lot more through CPM than CPC because a lot of my sites end up with way more pageviews than unique views daily. And this also shows true because I don't always end up...

I have owned the domain destinyislands.com for a good 2 or 3 years now, and I know it contains 2 pretty popular keywords (destiny and islands). I'm sure it must have a decent value for it's style, so...

I don't see the usefulness in this app - could somebody explain it to me? I must be missing the main point here, seems like a pointless Twitter app

Digital Point Forums makes so much money it's insane. Think of how much traffic they get, the amount of posts they get each day, etc. It's pretty crazy, and i wonder how long they can continue to...

I've actually never even seen a tool like this, I'm glad you shared it though. I can never figure out good names for my domains and which ones are available, so this is pretty cool

I just wanted to say this is an amazing thread! I've been looking for proxy addresses for a while now and these are perfect, exactly what I've been looking for. Another point of cred to NetBuilders

I've been using PubCenter for a good couple of months now, at least 5 or 6 at this point. I'm running it on 3 of my sites, 2 blogs and one Pligg-based social news site. So far I've been doing great...

I've been hearing a lot about this too from my buddies. I've used HubPages a few times in the past but never really messed with Squidoo, I just never got any value out of it. It must have been...

Really the DP moderators are too strict, I hate it. They could let up a little, and you get an infraction for posting a thread in a wrong section by accident or something small. It's a great forum...

I currently have HostGator hosting, and I have to say they are probably the best hosting service you can go to for small to mid-sized websites. They offer practically unlimited hosting space, e-mail,...

I am looking for tools or a set of software that you can run as a browser, but you can cloak your IP through a set of proxy IPs so you can visit sites like Mixx, StumbleUpon, Delicious, etc and...

I've joined Squidoo and played around with it for a bit, but I really don't see the benefit of posting tons of lenses with partial articles and backlinks to my sites. I suppose I could be missing out...

All of these forums are so useful, I really appreciate sharing your list here! I already am a huge member on Digital Point Forums but I have been looking to expand my horizons and I'm glad I found...

Easily Wordpress no question. It's got tons of free themes, free modules, and it's really easy to create themes from scratch as well! There's tons of documentation and it allows for complete...

CPA greatly depends on the willingness of your targeted traffic. If you are targeting visitors who are going to come to your site and see your ads and for whatever reason feel like they could take...

Not only your Twitter posts, but also your Twitter profile contains a link to your site which is great when gaining tons of followers.

Digg has faded out of market fast, there is still a decent amount of traffic and articles hitting the front page but most people know the system is gamed and it's crap. All of the traffic I've ever...

I have to say that NetBuilders is a great forum, found out about the place here through DigitalPoint but you guys seem to have a lot better information. I hope I can fit right into the community, and...
