About Stacie
aren’t you missing the income from LinkWorth now? Does the no-follow issue really bother you
I miss it, but I’m too scared to lose my PageRank.
thank you for this info! i am always wondering what programs people are going though for this sort of stuff and people rarely ever say!
Wow you are doing great! I didn’t know about most of those. I joined Social Spark and Sponsored Tweets from your link. No Sparks yet but I did submit 3 tweets that hopefully the advertisers will accept. I don’t forsee myself making $500 a month but $10 would be nice. ha
Stacie thank you for sharing this with us, it’s greatly appreciate it & helps us learn a bit.
Wow, it looks like Social Spark may be a place to be – thanks for sharing.
Stacie, what about AdSense? Are you still doing well with it?
Not anymore- since about September. They took every penny out of my account and shut down my account for invalid clicks. I appealed but no luck. I had never once clicked my own ads in the three years I was with them. I don’t know if its because I was finally starting to make decent money with them or what! So no more Adsense for me.
I’ve heard of this happening to other bloggers. That’s pretty ridiculous!!! Yeah, maybe they just don’t want to pay out when it’s decent money
I was making about $10-15 a month with a top banner, side banner and rss feed banners. Then I added banners into posts and now I’m up to $30 a month. Received my first check in December. I know it’s peanuts, bit it’s still pretty exciting! All thanks to you and your tips
Still sucks about your issue though
I just heard from my friend Stacy that Google shut her down for invalid clicks over the holidays. I’ve moved on though and found a new network.
So what other network do you use? I hate Adsense…. LOL
Thanks for sharing your information.. about no-follow.. it really affects page rank to add do-follow links? I heard that program like sponsoredreview also request do-follow and am wondering whether to join them.
Its against Google Webmaster Guidelines to sell links that pass on page rank. I would only do the post if you could use no follow. With that said though, lots of bloggers still use do follow links on paid posts.
I don’t understand what no-follow links mean. Could you explain, please?
This post explains it well: http://desperatelyseekingwp.com/2011/08/add-nofollow-to-your-advertisers-links/
Thanks for sharing this info. I don’t get anywhere near the traffic you do but maybe someday I’ll get up there
Just working on finding my niche.
Question- when you say Superpoints $100 do you mean 100 Superpoints or you cashed out last month for $100?
It means I received $100 cash for my points. I cash out whenever I hit 10K because I’m in Canada and can’t get the other prizes so I always take the $$$.
Wow, you’re doing great! I’ve never had much success with most sites, but I don’t try very hard either LOL
