I have something really cool and powerful to share with you today. I stumbled upon this new software - Magic Banner Bot - a software that I believe will surely help you get more traffic and sales to any website you want.
This cool software will allow you to practically add any linkable banner you want on practically any website - no matter who the website belongs to. The software costs $27 and I have purchased it and gave it a test 5 minutes ago. I generated my link via their software and uploaded it to my server. I linked to a Wikipedia article about webhosting and magically added my HostGator banner and affiliate link onto that page. Have a look by clicking here. Isn’t that amazing?
Imagine linking to any website and adding your banners right on that website. Imagine the eyeballs your banner will get - imagine the traffic and imagine the sales. WOW! Sorry for sounding so hypie but this software and marketing idea just rocked my socks off. I am really excited and will be using this software on over-drive.
Features of the Magic Banner Bot includes:
Add your banner on any website or blogs
Add any size banners
Place the banner anywhere on the page
Can use with Facebook and Twitter
Easy to create links using their software
How to get started using Magic Banner Bot and creating links right away:

Create as many links as you want. Just upload the re-direct pages onto your server, link to them and you are ready to go. You can manually create re-direct pages yourself but why do it when this software can do it for you in seconds.
This software is really helpful for online marketers and especially affiliate marketers as you can add affiliate banners and links to any page you link to. I really like this software and recommend you to get it and start using it.

Social Bookmarking has become a big part of my everyday web usage and I really enjoy the fact that I can bookmark all my links online and share them with my friends.
I have recently launched my own social news/bookmarking site called AddBlogUrl.com. It is a Digg style site where users can register for free and share their news and sites publicly with others.
I would like to invite all readers of this blog to join this new site to discover new sites and stories and share your own. There are a few advantages to joining and participating at AddBlogUrl.com:
Discover news and websites of your interest
Share your finds and sites with the world
Access your submitted stories anytime and from anywhere
Network with friends
Gain Exposure and Backlinks to your personal sites
Earn Money - You get 100% Adsense Revenue share from your links.
Adsense Revenue Sharing- I have made this site to benefit members who participate by adding interesting and useful news to the site. For every news/story you submit to AddBlogUrl, a webpage is created. This page has 4 different Google Adsense blocks on them and all of them will display your Adsense ID’s all the time the page is viewed. That means you get 100% of all Adsense Revenue generated by your submitted links. Pretty cool, huh? After you sign in, just plug-in your Adsense code in your Profile section and you are all set to earn via AddBlogUrl.
I have many more sites in development for personal and public usage and will be sharing them with you as they complete. I hope you do find these sites useful. If you have an idea for a website that has mass appeal, let me know and I will see if I can create them for all to use.
Today I want to talk about a site that has been generating me regular Google Adsense income for the past few months. I had joined Xomba a long while back but had not done anything with it. A few months back I re-visited the site and submitted some content and was shocked and happy to see the results I got. I managed to get visitors to my sites, got free backlinks and also got several Google Adsense clicks.
Xomba is an online publishing and bookmarking platform that is free to join. The site places Adsense ads on your content pages and displays your publisher ID 50% of the time. That means they share 50% of the Adsense adspace with you. Just enter your Google Adsense publisher ID in the back office and you are ready to start displaying your Adsense ads on all your content pages.
All you need to do to create content pages on Xomba is to either write an article (called Xombyte) or bookmark webpages and give a brief description - show and tell - (called Xomblurbs).
Xombytes are equivalent to full articles that should be about 300 words in length. It works the same as you would submit an article to an article directory. Write an article on any topic. The advantage to submitting a Xombyte is that you can add links into your articles.
Xomblurbs works like a social bookmark where you submit a link, tag your story and write a short description about the story. It is that simple. You get 50% Adsense adspace for both a Xomblurb and Xombyte.
Personally, I don’t know what it is about Xomba but I like the fact that I get great Adsense clickthroughs and I get visitors to my websites via Xomblurbs and Xombytes articles more than other similar sites.
So to wrap things up, here is a list of benefits to using Xomba:
Make money via Google Adsense
Get exposure and links for your websites
Get traffic to your websites
Network with other members
I suggest you give Xomba a try. If you see your Adsense earnings increase and traffic to your websites via Xomba, come back and share your success story with us.
If you are already using Twitter for your business or just as a tool to socialize on the web, you must already know the advantages they are to using the system.
Twitter is an easy tool to broadcast your activities and business information/promotions to a large number of people in a flash. The more followers you have, the more potential readers you have for your personal or business tweets.
Lots of folks are effectively using Twitter to get more traffic to their sites, make more sales, increase awareness to their service or just simply branding and promoting themselves. That is all good - if you are on twitter to promote a business or service.
What if you are on twitter simply to socialize and make friends and not promoting your business? How can you profit from Twitter?
Well, before I go into telling you how you can profit from Twitter simply by socializing, I want to tell you that it is OK to mix business with pleasure. So if you are on Twitter to socialize, it is really OK to mix a little business such as tweeting about your business and services once in a while too. Folks who follow you on Twitter might like to know more about your business and there is absolutely no harm to this at all. Always, always, always promote your business - anyway you can.
But if you insist on just socializing on Twitter, you can still profit from twitter via these two programs - beamagpie and twittad.
BeAMagpie is a free service that will tweet relevant ads through your account at a specified interval. You get paid for every succesful ads beamagpie tweets through you twitter account. I have set the ad intervals to be after every 10 tweets. So far I have earned Euro 0.63 in the last couple of days. The more you tweet and the more followers you have, the more ads will be tweeted by beamagpie and that is how you will make more money.
Twittad is another free service that will help you make some money simply by using Twitter. Twittad allows you to set a price you would like for advertisers to place an advertisement on your Twitter user profile. They help find and match advertisers with your Twitter profile. I have just recently signed up for this service myself and will pot an update about this program later after some initial results.
Additionally, if you are looking to promote your business and websites on Twitter, you can use these same two services - beamagpie and twittad- to broadcast your advertisements to other Twitter users.
As you may already know, you can search for images on the major search engines. Search Engines such as Yahoo, Google and MSN searches websites for images and indexes these images and displays them on their image search results.
To understand what I am referring to, you need to go to www.google.com. On that page you will find a link called “Images” on the top left hand corner. Click on that link and make a search on any topic and you will get image results corresponding to your search term. The images displayed are the result of Google having indexed these images from millions of websites.
If you click on any of the image, you will taken to the page where that image is originally displayed on. So you have just visited that page via an image search from a search engine.
Using image searches is an easy and effective way to get visitors to your websites. Some sites get several hundred visitors weekly through image searches. You too can start getting web traffic to your sites via image searches by following the simple tips listed below.
Firstly, you should save your images using your keyword as the file name. Using file names such as pic001.jpg or pic002.gif to name your images just isn’t smart. Use correct/actual keywords to name your images. If your image is of a lightbulb, then you should name your image lightbulb.gif or light-bulb.jpg. Any name that describe the image will suffice.
Use “alt text” to describe the images on your site. The alt text (also called alt tag or alternate text), helps the search engine know what your image is about and helps them to correctly index the image.
Here is an example of correctly naming and tagging your image file. Let’s say you have an image of a dark grey Prada herringbone suit. I would name that image file something like prada-dark-grey-herringbone-suit.jpg. So I have added/described the image in my file name. I then upload this image to my website at this location: http://onlinemarketinghub.com/images/prada-dark-grey-herringbone-suit.jpg
Next I need to add an alternate text to the image when I add the image to my web page. I want to use “Prada Herringbone Suit - Dark Grey” as my text to describe the image.
I use the following code to add the image to my page :Â <img src=”http://onlinemarketinghub.com/images/prada-dark-grey-herringbone-suit.jpg” alt=”Prada Herringbone Suit - Dark Grey” />
Prada Herringbone Suit - Dark Grey
The above picture has been inserted using the code shown above. The image has been properly named and tagged to make it easier for the search engine to index it. The next time the search engine bots come over to this blog to re-index it, they will also index the image.
The above method is very easy and fast to implement. You should be doing this for all the images on your sites and blogs. Hopefully, you too can start getting visitors via image searches on search engines.
Hubs are one page information on any topic created by hubbers on HubPages.com. HubPages is a free content creation platform where anyone can join and create hubs on any topic they like. In a way it is a lot like Squidoo.com with its easy page creation modules and money making options.
Creating Hubs can be fun
A hub is your unique look at a topic you are passionate about. Your hub topic could be about your cat or on quantum physics but it is your personal look at that topic that can make it interesting. You can create hubs to share your love and thoughts about a topic you are interested about, practice your writing skills, make a list of things, take a poll on your topic or even ask people to give feedback and contribute to your topic. Learning more on and sharing your passion is always fun.
HubPages also has a great community where you are bound to not only learn from other hubbers but also make some friends along the way.
Hubs can bring traffic to your sites
Creating hubs are not only fun but also practical. You can provide 1 to 2 links back to your own related sites. Hubs rank well on the search engines and you will get traffic to your hubs from the different search engines and also the hub community where they may click on your links and visit your sites. Hubs can be an excellent source of quality backlinks to your sites and blogs.
Hubs can put money in your pocket
Each hub you create has the potential to earn you money. HubPages support a few built in affiliate programs that you can easily integrate to your hubs and earn revenue from you hubs.They provide you with built-in money making modules that you can add to your hubs with a click of a button.
The built in affiliate programs are:
Kontera (contextual advertising)
eBay (sell listed eBay auctions from your hub and earn a commission from eBay)
Amazon (sell Amazon products from the built in moules and get referral fees from Amazon too)
AdSense (Hubpages shares 50% ad impressions with you for the Adsense advertisement on your hubs. If you get 100 visitors to your hubs then your Adsense code will be shown 50 times and Hubpages code will be shown 50 times)
So what do you think of HubPages? I really like it and enjoy creating hubs for fun and traffic. Go take it for a spin. It’s free, fun and profitable.
Online Classified Ad sites are often overlooked when you promote your business online. I have been posting my ads on classified sites for close to a year now and have great success in making more sales of my products, attracting new prospects and even getting more visitors to several of my websites.
You can advertise your products and services with ease on high traffic sites such as USFreeAds, CraigsList and Yahoo! Classifieds. There are several thousands of people visiting these sites daily looking for products and services they are in need of.
Personally, I use and prefer USFreeAds the most. I love that I can create beautiful HTML ads with their built in ad creator, I can track the number of visitors reading my ads, I can add upto 12 images to each ad to better describe the product and entice the reader and I can also add my PayPal Buy button directly into the ad.
I am a premium member there and that allows me to post unlimited number of ever-running ads. I have about 200 hundred ads posted there at any given day and these ads really help my online income. On an average I make atleast $150 monthly in ClickBank sales and another $400 from other products and affiliate programs all via my classified ads on USFreeAds.
I have created a Squidoo lens on the benefits of using classified ads and how to effectively post your ads for maximum results. I recommend you read the complete article at my Classified Advertising lens where you will learn all this and also get a list of several sites where you can post your ads for free right away.
