How to Get Businesses to Advertise on Your Website

1. Establish a professionally designed website. Create a special page called 'Advertise' with a link to it at the bottom of each page. Hire a graphic designer and a marketing specialist to work on this site. Gather statistics about your web traffic and put together an online media kit that will sell the advertiser on the popularity of your site. Provide detailed information about ad sizes and options available. Include statistics on why online advertising works. See 'Resources' for an example of an 'advertise here' page.

2. Sign up for a Google Adsense account (there is a $5 setup fee). Click the 'Adsense Setup' tab and select 'AdSense for Content.' Choose the type of ad units that you want to display on your site (image, text or a list of links). Choose the size and format of the ads depending on the space that is free on your site. Select a color scheme that will go with your website. Submit the details and retrieve the code. Copy and paste the code into your web page editor. Ads from various businesses will display on your site immediately. Yahoo! has a similar search marketing program (see 'Resources' for a direct link).

3. Contact a representative to open a publisher's account with Doubleclick.com. This company is a top provider of ad serving on the Internet. You will be provided with an ad management solution that will work with your website depending on its size and subject matter. The service brokers the sale of ad banner space to companies that are interested in displaying ads on relevant and popular websites.

YouData is the lastest and best paying 'paid per click' site I've found so far. Signing up for YouData is easy and quick.

It's that simple. You can also get paid cash by referring others to YouData. All payments are linked to your PayPal account.

How to Increase Your Click

1. Choose targeted, two to three word keyword phrases and use them in your ad headlines. Your ad will show up when people are searching for this keyword, so adding it to your headline will make your ad appear most relevant to their needs. In addition, any words that are identical to the keyword searched for will automatically display in bold font, drawing attention to your ad.

2. Keep your ad description short but incredibly relevant with a call to action. Tell searchers exactly what benefits or products you have to offer that relate to the keyword they are searching. Give a direct instruction as part of your description that tells the searcher what to expect from your website and what to do when they get there. Call-to-action phrases include words such as order, sign-up, buy and browse.

3. Target some of your ads by location. When you set up a campaign, Google allows you to select a target location including a country, region and city. Determine if your target market is in a specific location and edit your campaign to focus on those specific locations to boost your click-through-rate as well as your conversions.

4. Test different ads and monitor their performance with Google's reporting data. Use varying keywords, headlines and descriptions across several different ads to find out which produces the highest click-through-rate. The more testing you do, the better your chances of creating optimal ads that will make you money. Stick with the ads that perform well and ditch those that do not.

Instructions on How to Make a Website for Free

1. The Squidoo publishing platform makes creating a free website point-and-click simple. Squidoo's creators claim that as of February 2010, it had more than 1.4 million (Squidoo's name for a website) in its system. With Squidoo, you combine pre-made modules and your own content to create a lens. Besides simple components that support things like text and graphics, there are modules that display YouTube videos, Flickr photos and other media. There are even modules that connect your lens to online vendors such as Amazon and eBay, so you can sell items from your lens.You can create an unlimited number of lenses (websites) for free. The Web address of each lens takes the form of XYZ.squidoo.com, where 'XYZ' is the name you assign to your lens, and the rest of the address is the Squidoo domain name. Squidoo runs Google AdSense ads on each lens, and popular lenses earn a small share of that money, so even if you don't do any sales-related activities yourself, Squidoo can earn you some money.

2. Wetpaint combines the elements of blogs, forums, social networks and wikis (sites that allow visitors to contribute content) so you can create a free website that emphasizes contributions from, and interaction with, visitors. Like Squidoo, it features pre-made modules that you combine with your own content to build your website.Free sites on Wetpaint include ads that the company uses to pay for the service. The company also offers a premium service where it charges a monthly fee in exchange for removing the ads from your site and giving you the option to have a custom domain name.

3. Blogger is for people who want to create a free blog-style website. Web logs (blogs for short) are a series of journal entries (blog posts) rather than a more structured website. Typical uses for blogs include keeping a daily journal, reporting on ongoing news or events, and similar uses that involve writing about a stream of activity.Blogger provides pre-designed templates and supports both pictures and video in blog posts. To earn money, you can opt to have Google AdSense ads or links to Amazon.com (through the Amazon Associates merchant program) appear in your blog posts. Like Wetpaint, Blogger allows you to create a custom domain name for your website. Unlike Wetpaint, you do not have to pay for a premium version of Blogger to use a custom domain name.

How to Avoid Accidental Plagiarism in Articles

1. Reading precise wording leaves that wording stuck in your mind. Not only does it lead to accidental plagiarism, but it hampers the flow of your own writing skills. Therefore, the first step to avoiding accidental plagiarism is to avoid at all costs reading articles on the same general subject as yours. This can be accomplished in many ways.

2. If you have searched ehow and determined that someone has already written on the topic you wish to write about, your first instinct is to read the articles and make sure either they are badly written or do not cover the subject in the same way or style that you plan to. Resist the urge! Instead, have a friend read the articles and give you feedback as to whether or not the subject has been sufficiently covered. Later, when your article is written, you can also have a friend go back and compare wording to make sure it is not similar.

3. Next, when you begin to do research, avoid researching your general topic. This is likely to turn up results similar to your finished article and you will be tempted to use their wordings. Instead, search subtopics, facets, or facts of your topic and assemble your article piece by piece. This will not only prevent accidental plagiarism but will often lead you to include extra information that the other general writers do not.

4. To be able to search subtopics and facets, choose article topics about which you are at least somewhat familiar. This will help you start with specifics to search. For instance, if I were writing an article about horse supplements, I could start by searching 'Chondroitin, horses.'

5. There are many extremely in-depth articles on the internet. If you find one that has your topic covered down to the last detail, you will probably be tempted to use only that one source, bad news when it comes to plagiarism. In this case, try to think of how to expand or re-arrange your article so that that topic becomes only facet, step, or perspective. This way, you can use other sources to flesh out your own article.

6. Finally, since short term memory is based on specific wording and long term memory is based on semantics (meanings), time is on your side when it comes to avoiding accidental plagiarism. Take simple notes of nouns and verbs leaving out any conjunctions, adjectives, and fluff words. Then, wait a day before writing your article. You might want to research for a couple of articles one day and then write those articles/research the following set the next day.
