    Hi zupreme,
    I wanna thank you for this great tips.
    1 question, how do you present your CPA or clickbank offers to your readers?
    I tried very hard but the conversion rate is VERY disappointed :(

    Everything seems to be alright. but spinning articles wont help for sure.
    Gotta spend some $$$ for Human article re-writes.

    1 important question, which RSS Announcer are you using now?
    I "found" 1, but it's really outdated. 41 auto submitted, 0 passed -.-"

    Thanks for the question.

    I use a couple of different methods. Both work for some viewers, but not for others.

    1- Inline text ads. There are a couple of Wordpress extensions that will turn any occurence of the words you select into a link to the url of your choice. So for example, if you are promoting a dog training product, you could link any occurence of "dog" to your presale page, or directly to the product page.

    2- Inset splash pages. These are the pages that you've already seen at many news and article sites. Whenever a viewer clicks on a link to go to a full article, the splash page with an advertisement appears. The user can click the advert for more info, or can click "Skip this ad" to go on to the article page.

    I use CPA offers as much as possible, due to the higher payout rate.

    For example most Payday Loan offers will pay you $15 or more each time a visitor fills out an application, whether or not that app actually gets approved.

    I hope this helps.

    Absolutely, however I encourage everyone to post any non-confidential questions to this thread so that all can benefit.

    In all likelihood one or more of you will be able to add to this topic something of value that will make us all better off as a result.

    Thanks for your reply :)
    Can I summarize your words as,
    1. You DO NOT use banner or "More related information" kind of words to promote CPA.
    2. You direct link from keyword in the posts to the CPA offers.
    3. You put your CPA on your splash ads.

    Okay, I suppose you use only 1 CPA offer for 1 blog.
    Or you have a tool that automatically match them? (keyword match with offers)

    I'm wondering if your blog is about Loan, I'm sure you have LOTS of "loan" this word in your posts. Doesn't it looks like very spammy to have more than 5 links to an offer in a same page?

    I don't agree. If you use the right spinner, and use it the right way, your changes are going to be indistinguishable from what a human would write.

    A simple method, even if you don't have real spinning software, is to use the search and replace feature of MS Word or OpenOffice Writer to replace all occurrences of certain words with synonyms of your choosing.

    That won't protect you from Google's duplicate Content slap, as the Googlebot can see past such a simple approach, but it will help you avoid Copyscape flagging, and user disinterest.

    1- I do absolutely use those types of words, where appropriate. If you want to make money from your blogs then you should use ever tasteful way available to monetize. Of course I have to stress the word "tasteful". You don't want your ads to be so prevalent that your users get scared away.

    2- Yes.

    3- Yes. But not just CPA. I rotate the ads between CPA and Aff offers.

    There are tools that can do what you describe (automatic matching like Adsense does), but I don't use them so I can't speak for or against.

    As for your inline text limits, I agree. Too many links look spammy. The extensions that enable this feature do allow you to limit the number of links on a single page, but it is up to you to decide how much is too much.

    If you want a person to follow the link and buy so that you can earn a commission you have to consider that many readers will read your whole post and only then will be willing to click a link to another page.

    Get a Hostgator Business account.

    That account will let you host unlimited domains amd unlimited MySQL databases (a requirement for Wordpress).

    Keep in mind that although that plan seems to give you unlimited everything, you are limited to 25 running system processes at any given time. So if you use a Cron job to automatically pull in RSS content, you will want to schedule those content pulls for different times of the day so as not to max out your processes.

    Regarding this I guess any unlimited addon domain hosting should fit.
    I personally don't feel comfortable to put all domains in 1 hosting account.
    For unexpected downtime, or hardware damage, or google ban the ip, or whatever, I think break them into few different host might works safer :D

    Agreed. I have my blogs spread across several different accounts for these very reasons and more.

    But for those starting out with only a little money to spend (like a college student) then all on one account at the beginning is fine. In just one month the project should begin paying for itself and more.

    Great post! Thanks a bunch, now that's thinking outside the box.
    Out of curiousity - in average - how much does one niche blog make in your experience?

    Hard to say. It all depends on the niche.

    A blog on Mesothelioma, for example, could bring in $100/day from Adsense alone, with very little traffic (statistically speaking) since each click can earn you $10 or more.

    A Blog on Personal finance, due to CPA loan offers can bring in similar numbers.

    Some niches will rise and fall with the seasons. For example a motorcycle blog will get more visits, and thus more revenue, during the warmer months, for obvious reasons.
