I am playing with adwords to get more traffics to my affiliate sites(landing pages) and regular sites and it is not working many of my sites which requires $10 min bid for keywords.

I changed several landing page sites to Wordpress blog and make affiliate programs as a post with nice description, but still no luck. The strange thing is one site has QS ok but other site QS is poor which using same WP theme, identical setting, just different market.

I am going over ebooks, forums, etc to find out how to beat QS. I have TOS, Contact Us, About, Privacy pages but seems like it is not the factor for my sites.

I will post what I did to get better QS if I got better QS.

Crap.. My azoogle account is terminated because of some keyword in Yahoo showing my Ringtone ad which suppose not.  I am using Advanced match from YSM and YSM match keywords eventhough you are not bidding for that specific keywords.  Well, I got earned $2139 so far this month but my ad violate TOS because somehow it shows when user search keyword “Ringtone Gratis” which I do not bid on this keyword.  Azoogle came up with withheld all my earning as fine.  Shit.  I got to pay $1000 credit card bill I spent for this month.  Funny thing is I can reapply for Azoogle if I like.  WTF.  but I will reapply later on..I just need to take some break here..man that sucks $3000+ went away for nothing.  Watch your keyword and becareful to using Dynamic Keyword insertion.

Well, I am testing several keywords everyday lately.  I decide to run Paris Hilton yesterday because she was on the news every hour.  Guess what, I got 1200+ Clicks from Paris Hilton Ringtone.  Conversion - Nada..$2 from adsense.  Well, I just lost $120 and YSM remove keywords because according to YSM, my site avg. ranked was 2.3 for that keyword.  Imagine 1200+ clicks with 10% coversion when you get right keywords at right time..well I got to think carefully for next keywords.

Well, AGLOCO sounds very similar to Web 1.0 sites which offered free money to surf. Well it reborned with better plan(hope so), web 2.0 app. Sign up here if you do not have account

So what is AGLOCO?

• Agloco is the re-birth of AllAdvantage, which paid out over $100,000,000 to its members.
• Agloco costs you nothing. It’s free. And it always will be.
• Once you sign up, you’ll get your own referral URL that your friends can use to sign up.
• Agloco’s Viewbar shows ads and lets you search the Web. Advertisers and search engines pay Agloco when you do that, and Agloco then pays you.
• Agloco members accrue hours that the Viewbar is open on your desktop.
• Agloco members accrue hours to have your friends have their Viewbar open.
• Once you start using the Viewbar, you’ll start getting credit for those hours, for which Agloco will then compensate you.
• Agloco will determine how to compensate you, over time, with cash and shares.
• Currently, mathematically, every 5 people that you refer to Agloco, that in turn refer 5 others, will double your compensation.

Now, this is how to do business and it is a perfect example of internet business vision.  Of course, not everyone can do this but he shows there is still lot of money left on Domain Market.  His domain portfolio estimated at $300 million and it generates about $70 million revenue per year according to article.  Most unique domains he invented are .cm TLD which belongs to Cameroon.  He is working with Cameroon Government and redirect to his landing page.  His .cm domains generates about 8 Million unique per month.  I mean this is just amazing.  He owns around 300,000 domains and he is buying 10 to several hundreds domains per day.

People might say why didn;t I think of that, well, it is hard since he has to work with another country’s government officials and some. 

But I am wondering is there any great domains left to register?  Well, I think there is, but it will be hard.

I saw this news when I browse Google Stock News. 

It’s barely been a month since Business 2.0 put out this year’s Next Net list, and already one of the companies on it, StumbleUpon, is rumored to have sold itself to eBay (EBAY) for about $40 million. Through a spokesperson, StumbleUpon declines to comment. And I’m waiting to hear back from eBay. (Update: eBay also has no comment).

One of my myspace site ranked #2 on secondary major keyword and ranked page5 on major keyword.  Then my site was dissappeared from SERP on major keyword(myspace layouts)  and pushed down to pg3 on secondary keyword about 10 days ago.  This morning, I checked it again, site is there..yeah..last 10 days my traffic downs about 30-40%.  I was very fraustrated because I can do anything about it and all I could do is wait and wish luck.  Wondering why this happening.  Anyway, today I am happy.  It is happy chinese new year for me.

Now days, every webmaster has at least one web directory, but can they make money for you?   It is nice business model if you do it right.  Most directories are low quality meaning not much contents, low backlinks, or low quality web sites, there are high quality web directories just doing fine with earnings and expanding their business.  I have two general, directlinks.us and lucky7.net and two niches directory I just starting.   They are not making much money but building quality.  I found two great artcles today, one is general how to create a successful web directory and one is interview with BOTW ceo.

Make $1 000 000 with paid directory a year.

The Secrets of BOTW’s Success Revealed

John Scott, owner of v7n.com, use to make $50k per month with his directory and still doing pretty good with his directories.  So there is still market to make money, but directory requires good amount of initial investments and time to build good quality.

I just got off of the phone with a pretty well known person who runs a company that snaps up big properties and he offered me $16 million for WickedFire. The whole offer was $16M over 3 years or $11 million at one shot. Needless to say, I turned him down without even thinking twice about it.

Jon rejected this offer. Why? Maybe he has big plans for his site but with $16 million, I think he can do more with that money in my opinion.

Current His forum stats are Threads: 6,957, Posts: 107,304, Members: 3,824 and I just wondering where this investor came up with that $16mil for the forum?  What he think this forum is worth that much?   What he sees that I can not see at this moment from this forum?  WickedFire has great potential to be big but $16mil at this point, I hope Jon take the offer..
