Earnosphere: Week Ending 01/12/07

03. Dec 2007 | 10 Comments

What’s up everyone, things have been a bit busier this week as I’m trying to put the finishing touches to some Xmas Campaigns. So apologies that the Earnosphere is a bit late ;) But there’s plenty of good info as usual.

Last week one of the posts I made about Al Gore’s Blog Being Hacked made it into the mainstream media. Except it was republished & reworded by a popular magazine (who naturally didn’t credit the original author). What lesson did I learn from that post? Well firstly I learnt that I shouldn’t have just emailed the post to Newspapers & Media sources. Instead I should have taken a step back & thought about which blogs would be more likely to publish the story:

  1. Security Blogs
  2. Wordpress based Blogs
  3. Environmental Blogs
  4. Political Blogs

Or maybe at the time I didn’t think the story would have legs to go anywhere (since it was just something I noticed by accident).

I’m also actually quite surprised in the amount of blogs that scrape my content, check out the search results for Earnosphere alone.

Anyway, some good stories in the Earnosphere this week, so much so that you really don’t need to leave this blog…..ever :P

  • Smaxor writes a beautiful post on how to Make Money with Google’s Local Search. Basically using the Universal Search Results to help you rank above the Organic listings without much effort (other then setting up a company then a mailbox).
  • SlightlyShadySEO gives some tricks on how to increase conversions by Maximising your Long Tail.
  • This WebMasterWorld thread has some useful tips to tell if you’ve been Smartpriced by Adsense.
  • Gath (a fellow Melbournite) shows a neat way to code the Perfect Exit Popup which is perfect for monetising high bounce rates, I’m starting to see more & more affiliate marketers that have a good coding background really do well.

I’ve seen a number of posts floating around lately discussing the topic of valuing blog based on RSS Subscribers, so this weeks poll tackles that topic:

What factor should play the biggest part in a Blogs Value?

Thanks for the mention.

I voted for revenue. However I suppose it depends on your outcome. For oooff.com it’s traffic as it’s just there to help people and build business contacts. Not really for making money. If I required on it to eat I’d be hosed. But everything else is for cold hard cash.

To me, revenue and CTR are the only things that matter. If the revenue is decent, I can look at a site and know how much I can increase the CTR, then I factor that into the bid.

Traffic figures for me, they do not lie. People are really visiting your blog or site.

For me the value of a blog would depend on: the niche, the terms that is ranks for (organic traffic).

Hi Stuart,

I just tried to send you an email, and I got this error:

The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /wp-content/cache/supercache/www.earnersblog.com/contact/index.html.gz

I was going to say; If you are ever in the city, lets meet up over a drink or 2. Thanks for the mention, too.

Cheers,
Gath
