Blog$verti$e and Mak€ Money!

Blogsvertise is the latest thing making the rounds in the mon€y-making blogosphere. I remember once upon a time when my good friend, Kumiko Suzuki was banned by Google, she energetically went ahead and made good earnings from PayP€rPo$t PPP. She practically became a queen in the PPP kingdom as she made a good showing from that income source. (Today, she has migrated to Bidvertise).

Back to Blogvertise. It is just on the PPP model and you can earn an envious sum monthly if you are a good blogger I advise you give it a shot while awaiting AGLOCO!

Are You LinkWorthy?

This is one advertising network that I 'strolled' into some few weeks ago. I decided to carry out a link worth experiment to see how it works for my blog here. I noted that the statistic churned out by it for my blog here as you can see is: Home Page Price- $5-$15; Sub Page Price- $5; Entire SiteRun Price- $50-$60. The criteria used for my blog was: Page Rank 3; link Rank- 2; Outbound links- 77; Pages Indexed- 177; Alexa Rank- 565,263

In comparison, I saw that John Chow's blog was well ranked too, by the LinkWorth parameter. Home Page Price- $65-$75; Sub Page Price- $30-$40; Entire SiteRun Price- $80-$100. John's Google Page Rank of 6 notwithstanding, he was given a link Rank- 3, though his has such a 'splendid' outbound link of- 63 (strangely lower than mine of 77) ; His Indexed Pages and Alexa ranking were naturally high @ 3,230 and 2,513 respectively.

As Agloco warms up to her reputation, we would be filling the one year vacuum left by Agloco with many blogger's advertising options in the next few weeks as I come across them.

Happy Blogging and money making, Thanks.

Top 20 Most Trafficked Blogs- How Much are They Worth?

Happy new month JULY! Yesterday was CANADA DAY, and in a few days' time (July 4), we would celebrate America's 231st birthday anniversary, marking the American declaration of Independence.

What Is Your Blog's Market Worth? Would You Sell?

Last month witnessed the sale of that robust and upcoming niche blog Career Ramblings by my dearly beloved and esteemed friend, Jane May. She sold it for a whopping $20,000!

This has thrown up a fresh debate in the blogosphere about the market value of blogs and whether to sell, and at what 'value'. Career Ramblings was making an average of $3,000 income monthly, at the time of sale. Normally the rule-of-the-thumb was applicable at the point of sale, which is: 'multiply the average income of a blog by 10', you would get the current market value.

Using Dane Carlson's Calculator for the worth of Blogs, I discovered that Jane's Career Ramblings was actually worth $139,441.38 That is about seven times the price paid for Career Ramblings. Carlson's parameter was based mainly on Technorati rankings, wich is more current than Google's Page Rank that was updated quarterly.

Quite some changes have taken place since the sale of Jason Calacanis Weblogs Inc. network, for an estimated 25-40 million Dollars in 2005. The MySpace, YouTube and DoubleClick have also been bought for $580 million, $1.65 Billion and $3.1Billion respectively by media mogul Ruppert Murdoch and Google. After calculating the worth of your blog with Dane Carlson's Calculator, you may head for the Sitepoint Marketplace for an adventure to offer your blog for sale if think it is worth the efforts.

Many other factors have also been imputed into the worth of these websites, prime amongst which is the terriffic level of visitor traffic to those sites. So I did an experiment with TTLB Top 20 most trafficked blogs in the world and Technorati Top Ranked Blogs, and compared their differnt worths.

1) Engadget Technorati Authority: 31,556; Worth= $17,096,529.36

20) Jeremy Schoemaker Technorati Authority: 4,653; Worth= $2,626,804.62

A few other notable blogs, (13 were randomly picked, why, I don't know), but did not make the cut-off point, are listed below.

1. Matt Cutts' Blog Technorati Authority: 4,359 Worth= $2,309,533.14
2.Autoblog Visitors/day: 343,308 Technorati Authority: 4,536; Worth= $2,184,205.26

6. Ms. Danielle Technorati Authority: 552; Worth= $308,238.84
7. Kumiko's Cash Quests Blog Technorati Authority: 247; Worth= $110,085.30
8. John Reese's Blog Technorati Authority: 216; Worth= $106,133.52

11. Jennifer Slegg's Blog Technorati Authority: 88; Worth= $49,679
12. Halos Heaven Visitors/day: 239,151 Technorati Authority: 125; Worth= $40,646.88
13. Overheard in the UK Visitors/day: 457,291 Worth= $11,855.34

The randomly selected blogs presented some strange results. having great and awesome daily traffic and not having a corresponding linkage on tecnorati which ultimately is the metric of Blog's financial worth.

This research and compilation is not absolute, in terms of many other sites and blogs out there, which had great traffic and linkage but were not ranked by Technorati.

This is just my simple contribution to the update of Blog's worth

ReviewMe's 5-Star 'Generals'

I got a shocking revelation recently when John Chow (60th on Technorati), 'thanked' ReviewMe for restoring his rightful fifth star as a blogger. In that post, he told us how there were only three of them in that elite club of 5-star bloggers, on the ReviewMe network.

The other two are Jeremy 'Shoemoney' Schoemaker (69th on Technorati), and Performancing (23rd on Technorati). This revelation triggered my curiousity, so I went headlong to dig up the mystery arithmetic of rating and ranking by Reviewme. This is the outcome of my protem findings.

I found out SEVEN REASONS why the Top 20 or most popular bloggers in the world, by Technorati rankings, did not participate in the ReviewMe network, and these are the first three salient reasons (the second part- 4 Reasons, would be the subject of another posting):

1. The elite bloggers have all carved a niche for themselves in the blogosphere. Some of them blog for fame and for fulfillment of their passions, and not for miserly money (if you consider $250 share per review for the biggest bloggers- John Chow currently earns $200).

2. To 'divert' into openly disclosed paid reviews, would cause a 'social riot' on these popular blogs by their loyal readership base.

3. Others among them earn so big incomes and patronage that, they would not want to descend to the meagre offers of a relatively new network like ReviewMe. For example, Jeremy Schoemaker who earns over $130,000 mointhly from Google Adsense network alone, would not bend to the ReviewMe opportunity.

He (Shoemoney), living up to his name, unrepentantly outprized his reviews by five-fold ($2,500), virtually more than all bloggers in the ReviewMe network! I doubt if he would ever get any advertiser to give him a nudge.

As ReviewMe grows to reckoning among big advertisers, an offer of 5K to 10K per review may no longer be strange. Maybe, the Top 20 bloggers in the blogosphere would change their mind and join the network, but for now, it is a 'No-go' arena, meant for small and medium level success bloggers. What do you think?

I would write next on, the arithmetic mystery performed by ReviewMe to rank bloggers and why it differs from the traditional metrics used by other stakeholders in the blogosphere.

Viral Feeds Take Over

The blogosphere seems to have been infected by a growth virus which has taken over her fibre, as even the biggest blogging guys like John Chow and others, are not spared by that 'infection'.

First it was Ms. Danielle that showed me the Technotati Favorite Lin Exchange triggered by Gary Lee, followed by Viral*links by Andy Coates, then came the Viral Tags by Jimmy Huen, as well as the Viral Icons or favicons by Ilker Yoldas, now Viral feeds have taken over.

From Telenovela Blog yesterday, I understood that Darin Carter started a viral feeds exchange using the Bloglines as a principal bait.

This is good for Ask Dot Com and Bloglines, but also for us too, as our rating improves dramatically. As for me, my Technorati Authority has gone from 34 to 61 as a result of participating in this viral games in 10 days!

It was significant that ReviewMe did not recognize my blog despite having over 2,300 Feedburner subscribers who daily read my Telenovela blog. This was because I had no single feed subcriber through Bloglines. It took them seven months to acknowledge my blog. That is why Darin's Bloglines experiment would be good for most bloggers wanting to make money with Text-Link Ads and RevieMe on their blogs.

I know of a guy Chuvachienes who went from a Technorati authority of 50 to 236 and whose Alexa Rank went from 4million to 467,244, his Blogworth rose from $27,500 to $133,231.44 all because of the viral tags within two weeks!

That is what I called '... being well-positioned to reap money with blogging!' because these viral growh automatically improves your Google page rank and Technorati rankings, thereby improving your rating with Advertising networks like the TLA, ReviewMe, etc.

So, if you are a blogger, you can follow this instructions by copying and pasting it to your blog too.

***Start Copying Here:***

Here are the rules:

1) If you don’t have a bloglines account, as many of you may now, signup for one, if you do have a bloglines account sign in to your account!

2) For bloggers, you can write a short introductory paragraph about what how you found the Bloglines list and include a link to the blog that referred you, (i.e my Agloco Hours blog, in this case) to the list.

3) COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can be accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.

4) Take the “My New List” and move them into the “The Original List”.

5) Add 3 Blogs that you’ve just added to your Bloglines List to the “My New List” section. Remember to also add the “List the Site link next to your new blogs (i.e. http://www.bloglines.com/sub/http://www.theblogurl.com/feed)

6) Add Everyone on this list to your Bloglines List by clicking on “List the Site.” Those who want good kharma will list you back. If not, you will for sure get the benefits of readers from the bloggers who continue this list after you.

Agloco Boost and Viral Links

The last two weeks have been a season of GROWTH. My Technorati Authority rose and almost doubled from 34 to 61 and I am still counting, ... due to the viral link experiment triggered by some bloggers.

My Agloco Hours has also accumulated to 7.7 hours, (this is apart from my 5 maximum hours permited). This is equivalent to about 13 units of AGLOCO Shares, which also interpretes to $2,600 (two thousand six hundred Dollars) on the stock exchange- When Agloco becomes listed and it grows to $200 per unit of share. Afterall Google was listed three years ago and has grown in leaps and bounds to over $400 per unit of shares

It is time to get on board if you have been 'missing in action', Join now and begin to accumulate the AGLOCO hours because that is what would ultimately be converted to cash for you and I by Agloco. The more Hours your Agloco referrals accumulate, the more share and money you make from Agloco.

I have found out that only about 20% of the people we recruit in the last seven months are really interested to download the Agloco Viewbar, and become active in using it. That is quite sad because those who have tens of thousands recruited would have done so in vain. Particularly those who spend hard cash for Google Adwords campaign to bring referrals on board the Agloco train.

I also found out that those who are newly joining Agloco have an AGLOCO Viewbar download rate of 80%. This means it would be more profitable and productive to recruit and refer new members to AGLOCO, now that the Viewbar has been released than pre-launch period.

My dear friend Ansar Hamza has sent in his AGLOCO accumulated hours too (see table right). Hamsa has 2,197 referrals and has so far gannered 29.7 referral hours so far. If added to his own 5 hours, that makes some 30 hours! equivalent of 3o units of AGLOCO shares (whatever that would be worth soon, when Agloco launches her IPO on the London Stock Exchange-LSE).

Please, send in the screenshot of your Agloco accumulated hours to aglocomasses@yahoo.com and let us begin a healthy money-making competition. I assure you that I would regularly post updates on the growth of your agloco hours with a link to your agloco recruting page.

Keep up the volume and value!

Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here, replacing one of the “ViralTags” from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
