runnerrunner, remember it's not just the traffic. If you are looking for raw traffic you can certainly get traffic cheaper. This is about content, buzz and seo, while there is immediate traffic the true benefit is more longterm.
Payperpost.com used to be called blogstarnetwork. I think they pay bloggers for submitting content to their blog based on quality and keyword usage.
Hey there. I did a post for payforpost but it got rejected because I had disabled my archives so you couldn't verify the 90's. I emailed support with the link to my oldest archive but haven't heard back. Do I need to resubmit my article or what? Btw, I disabled my archive because too many people were coming to my blog and landing on my archive page and then just leaving. My blog is about PC problems and solutions, so if my visitors don't see what they're looking for, they just pop back to google to try and find it on another site.
We had some issues with Tech Support early on because we had so many emails coming in, that should be fixed now. As far as the archives go you need to have them turned on so we can find the post.
Why on earth would you turn off your archives?? Remember, this is a numbers game - not everyone is going to find what they need on that page - and true enough - many will bounce away. It is that one that stays that is the reason to give everyone as much content to dwell on as possible. Please - turn on your archives - otherwise - why even have blog?
I agree. Who wants to turn away a visitor? If they click an ad or come back a second time; either way you win. Having them not visit at all is a mistake.
Well, I didn't actual "turn off" my archives, I've removed all links to them, and actually hiding my archive almost immediately increased my visit depth and average page view time. Now that all of my archive pages have been de-indexed by Google the people that were reaching my index page looking for a specific post, find the specific post instead of the archive. This is in no way "turning down a visitor." It is providing the visitor the content they were looking for immediately instead of 10 articles down the page. Hey, it works for me. I'm not trying to persuade you folks to emulate me, I'm just telling you that I have sent an email with a link to my archive. I do not want my archive indexed by Google, and unfortunately since I am using Blogger, their automated tags don't let me add a no follow or edit the robots.txt file, so the only reasonable way to accomplish this is to remove the links to my archive off my site. If that's incompatible with payperpost.com's policy, I am A-OK with that.
I can (sort off) understand why you might do this, but yes this is not in line with our policy. We definately want those pages to be indexed to benefit our advertisers. Removing those pages delivers no SEO value for the advertiser and thus our policy. I hope you can understand that.
Then your blog is of no worth at PayPerPost - sorry! I am paying to get links crawled by Google. You are correct - whatever works for you - works for you. However, it sounds like PayPerPost is not a good match for your blog.
I'm sorry, but I don't feel you understand what I am saying. ALL OF MY BLOG ENTRIES HAVE BEEN, AND CONTINUE TO BE INDEXED BY GOOGLE. Every last one as of July 24th when Google last sent their spider to my site. I'll agree with you that perhaps payperpost.com is not right for my blog, and that's okay. It looks like a great service, and I expect it to do well over the years. To clairfy what I am saying once again, every one of my blog post can be accessed from multiple locations on my blog. There's the sidebar which has the last 40 blog entries indexed by catagories, below each post there's links to the most recent posts in the catagories, there's a sitemap where users can find direct links to every article, and there is a table of contents which functions like a sitemap. The one thing you will not find, is my content repeated in the form of archives that take each of my individual posts during a week, and then place them all on the same blog page. Let me illustrate this for you. I've had users in the past come to my blog by typing in something like "server 2003 active directory tutorial" and instead of landing on my perma link (which is indexed as well) they would land on my archive page and be greeted with another post at the top, something like my guide on how to properly punch your computer. The actual information they were looking for would be ten or fifteen posts below the top of the page, so they'd leave almost immediately, thinking that I really didn't have a guide to Active Directory, or if I did, it was too much trouble to locate it, so why not just go back to google and get their information immediately. Now that I've eliminated the archives page, when people type "server 2003 active directory tutorial" they find the actual post that they are looking for. They stay on page for a long time, they check out my other articles, and they click on my ads. It works great. If I am going to target keywords, I don't want my conflicting blog posts targetting other keywords to muddy the water. So for those people that still fail to understand this very simple concept, think of my blog like a regular webpage (because that's all a blog really is.) Regular websites usually don't repeat their articles, and place 20 of them on the same page. Each page is targetted, making the user go to that page, see those ads, and if they want more information they go to the next page, get that information, and see more ads. It's simple, it works, and my CTR was horrible before I got rid of my archives. Now my CTR is outstanding, my visitor penetrations is excellent, my average page views are great, and my ad revenue is up 50%. Go figure.
Sounds like you need something like this -> http://www.deepmarket.com/category/analysis/ - where my archives just give a tast of the article. Can't argue with success! Perhaps that is why I am making $.50 a day with adsense...
Yeah, that's a good idea, and one that I could probably implement on Blogger. Thanks for the idea! $0.50 a day is a good start. As long as you continue to keep that number growing you'll be making good money in no time. Also, diversifying your revenue sources, with affiliate programs and sites like payperpost are a great way to supplement your income, like murphman was saying.
I did a little math. If you posted 3 posts a day and were able to average $10 a post you could earn $10,950 per year. Damn... I wish I could do it! lol.
I've joined today and had to create two account to test it out. However, I haven't deposited any money because I am not ready to give my CC yet to a new site. However, I looked into the advertiser opportunities, there aren't alot but I guess its worth looking into. I am just looking for blog postings! I've asked them if I can deposit money through paypal. Let's see how that goes.
