I just joined Sponsored Tweets few days ago, so i won’t go into too many details about the payouts and how much money can someone make out of it. I mean, once i get some money rolling into my account from Sponsored Tweets only then i will totally recommend it for you as a “must do” thing. Until then, atleast just join it and begin the process of what could be the easiest way to make money online just by twittering.

So what exactly is Sponsored Tweets. Well it’s a simple twitter advertising platform, owned by IZEA, which actually connects the advertisers with the tweeters. Simply put, the advertisers, already promoting the product, places the ads on twitter. You just have to spread the word and earn from it. All ethical advertisement/promotion in less than 160 characters, how difficult can it be for anyone? It’s simply PPT or we can call it Pay-Per-Tweet program.

First things first, you really need to have an account on Twitter. You should have a minimum of 200 followers and your twitter account should be at least 4 months old. So join Twitter today itself. When you have met these conditions then you can go ahead and join Sponsored Tweets, which is a white-listed twitter application and will require your twitter credentials to create an account. The advertisers simply don’t like Twitter accounts that are less than 120 days old. This factor reduces the risk of unethical business or spammy tweeters.

Although i really do not need to explain the process of joining process and using SponsoredTweets simply for the reason that it already has been very well explained on their site itself. Still, for those who have not been tempted yet to head off to their website: well, after joining in, SponsoredTweets will first of call calculate a recommended price for you that you should charge per tweet. Mine initially came out to $7.96 per tweet. Which is suggested for me to charge the advertiser for tweeting their tweets. Pretty good for anything less than 160 characters, haan? Anyways, i am really not bound to use this suggested price which actually is based on factors like number of followers, age of the account and number of tweets etc. I can put up $1.00 per tweet if i want or even $100. All up to me. And yes, i have seen many tweeple making $1000 and above already from Sponsored Tweets. Anyways, moving ahead, once you have the recommended price for your tweets, you just need add a bit of details regarding yourself and what you normally tweet about the most. That’s it. You are done. Now you just have to wait for offers to run in. Advertisers will checkout your profile and BOOM!!! the money starts flowing in.

Don’t forget, you will have the complete control on the advertisements that you want to tweet. You will get a mail from Sponsored Tweets when an advertisers shows an interest. Those ads will go into your account panel waiting for your approval. Simply reject the ad if you don’t like it or approve them. You even get the option wherein you can decide whether the tweet content has to be written by the advertiser or you’ll write your own content yourself. There are even some non-profit/charitable offers which you can enable or disable, publish or reject. That’s full control of your sponsored tweets for you!

So how does all this stuff sound to you? It sounded pretty good to me and i have already joined the program and have started making more money. There is absolutely no limit of money, that you can make from this program. It all depends on who you are and what you are with twitter. If advertisers love your tweets, then you should be ready to make a fortune, just by tweeting. Why don’t you head off to Sponsored Tweets right now and make me feel good about my post and effort, just so that you can make a good money. Ain’t asking much, Is It?

By the way, if it’s any consolation, Sponsored Tweets also offer referral program. You get 10% of SponsoredTweets portion of revenue for each successful transaction that Tweeter makes. Or, If you sign up an Advertiser you will earn 5% of Sponsored Tweets earnings for each transaction they make. That’s a bonus!

Tweet Stats : I’m ranked 20th in India and 9250th in World, with 5335 followers as on 29th September according to Twitterholic. All this in 6 months is pretty nice i guess. Just passing on little info

For those who don’t know, inbound links are the links coming from other sites to your website. This is a webmaster stuff, so if you are not a webmaster, please excuse this post.

I was just browsing the Google Webmaster Central Blog and i came across this post “Good times with Inbound Links“.

Apparently, Google considers quality and amount of inbound links in consideration for PageRank. If a spam site or low quality site links to you, they just ignore that link and only concentrate on the quality link. I am not sure but i do not believe in this point. Google, since last year or so, has been only taking in to consideration, the paid inbound links and the low quality inbound links.

Secondly, they italic-ized the word “Relevant, Quality inbound link can effect your PageRank”. Well…Yeah…That’s true actually. However, here by the word “Effect” they meant “Decrease”. Honestly, many webmasters who lost their pageranks can confirm it. No matter how hard they worked on sites, no matter how many quality inbound links, no matter how good, unique, useful content and information they have. If your site is a directory or not owned by some world organization or government or major search engine, my friend, you cannot get a high pagerank. Bottomline.

For starts, you can see Ally Directory. Pagerank 5 initially with just one webmaster blog in it and the pretty ordinary usual directory. But then i thought that i am not offering people anything except a link on the directory. So i went ahead and made more information rich blogs. Launched free themes for every popular script. Added gadget blog, biographies, cars, humor. Made it 100 times better than before. And what PageRank would i have now? PR2!!!

Honestly guys, if you are a web master, you should follow the Google Webmaster Central Blog, religiously. But when it comes to this Pagerank thing, don’t buy their CRAP! In fact don’t believe in anything about Pagerank. It’s here today, gone tomorrow! As simple as it can be!

Just believe in good quality traffic. Just earn via Adsense or similar advertising programs. Don’t think about making a blog to achieve high pagerank so that you can sell the links later on a higher price. Nothing like that will work. Traffic is the actual key to long lasting success.

Here is some important thing you should do:

• Start a site on a niche that you are really good at.
• Share your information and knowledge with people.
• Create original, very very unique, compelling content.
• Don’t do what everyone is doing. Be creative.
• Absolutely no keyword stuffing.
• Do not believe in PageRank tips from Google or anyone. You will stay fine!
• Do not be afraid to write about anything, as long as you don’t mess with em legally.

I could only think of these point now. But i do expect my fellow bloggers to help me jot down more helpful point for a sucess in web world. So more to continue…..

Recently, WidgetBucks announced that they will only be entertaining US and Canadian traffic for clicks etc as they thought they are the only customers who will likely buy a product from their advertisers. At that moment it looked an end for WidgetBucks as far as the international traffic was concerned. The only alternative that was left was to geo-target your websites. Geo-Targetting would have been lot of pain for some website owners. On my side, i stopped using WidgetBucks simply because i didn’t had any website which only targeted US and Canadian citizens. But i guess all are troubles are over with the very recent development by WidgetBucks or in more general by Mpire Corporation.

Today, WidgetBucks launched it’s new International CPM ads that would be included in our widgets itself. It’s basically a CPM ads for non US/Canada traffic. Of course this is going to help publishers in a big way, specially those who have blend of traffic from many different countries. The new CPM ads will give you revenue per impressions, for the site visitors. There system will itself Geo-target the ads for you. For example, if your site visitor comes from US or Canada, the widget will display the normal pay per click program. However if the visitors are from other countries, the widget will display ads which pays per impressions. This is going to be great. I recommend you to join WidgetBucks today. The future seems bright.

By the way, just for your information. You will need to recopy your widgets code in order to make the widget work as mentioned here. Once you have the new code on your site, WidgetBucks’ system will itself take care of rest of things. Frankly, WidgetBucks is back on many of my sites. If you still haven’t signed up with them, well i recommend you to sign up instantly and enjoy the benefits. You can visit WidgetBucks here.

The interface looks pretty neat and clean for a change. I was able to find everything i wanted to know in the panel pretty easily. It’s well designed and pretty easy to use.

The earning potential could be great. It all depends on how much you are ready to earn from it, which further depends on how much time you are ready to dedicate on it.

But you have to be a little quick, because as soon as the topic is made available, it is “up for grabs” for all. And once the quota is finished, the topic is taken off the board.
