Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

I have been having problems lately with Technorati’s service. I’m sure this is nothing new as when I searched the web to see if other people are having the same issues, sure enough they are.

“There was a problem claiming your blog. Please try again in a few minutes. You can also go to Technorati Help for help claiming your blog.”

5. Develop E-Commerce Website & Sell Your Products Online

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

This method of making online is an option when you currently have a supply of products which you get wholesale from a supplier in your country or you are importing the products in from another coutnry. I have thought about importing items in from China when I used to travel there for work 4 times a year for my last employer 4 years ago, but the economics didn’t quite make good sense to me.

Developing full fledge websites and blogs is another way to make money from the internet or web. I also employ this method in additional to domain parking and micro websites. The results are mixed, however that I think can be mostly attributed to lack of time spent on development and addition of new content on one of my websites. While the other video webiste which I have been working deligently at and actively marketing has been doing extremely well, with traffic increasing 3 times and revenue up 100%.

3. Developing Micro Websites

by Das Brain

This method of making money on the internet / online is one of my favourite methods. I currently do this with about 57 micro websites, but one thing you have to remember is that the domain names that the micro websites are built on must have type-in traffic. Type-in traffic is where web users type in the domain name like “suv-wheels.com” into the web browser URL field. Type-in traffic is also called direct navigation.

For those of you out there who are not familiar with the domain monetization business, the term “domain parking” might sound funny. But, essentially that is exactly what it is, the domains are like parking lots on a busy city street where there is lots of traffic, and when a visitors comes by and pays, its like someone clicking on an ad. The domain makes money.
