Ok, so I often recommend products or services that can make you extra money on the side. And, often you need to have one company for one website, and a different company with a different service for another website. Well, someone finally has multiple monetization products within the same company! Chitika comes to the rescue with a product that you can use on MySpace, Facebook, your website or blog, and almost anything else you can customize it to.

Chitika’s main product is a content-matching shopping advertisement called eMiniMalls. What this means, is that when you install a simple snippet of HTML in your page Chitika finds relevant product ads from hundreds of online shops to show your visitors. Not only that, it doesn’t just show one product matched to your content, it allows your visitors to search for the best prices on the product(s). [Read more →]

Nah, I’m just kidding, it’s not really a secret. The tools just aren’t “publicly” released yet…they’re still in Google’s Lab, in other words they are still in beta testing to make sure that they work properly.

I’ve been using a couple of them for more than two years now! You would think that they’d be public by now, but apparently not. These tools are useful for many things, but probably most importantly keyword research as well as just finding new things! Isn’t that what’s the Internet’s all about? [Read more →]

Do you want to make some easy money? Of course you do! Who doesn’t? Anyhow, I found a way to make some quick and easy money (and yes, it’s fully legal in case you were wondering). A company called Subvert and Profit is willing to pay you for you to Stumble and Digg articles.

Now at first I was worried about being paid to Digg or Stumble articles that I didn’t agree with. The good thing is, you don’t have to! You get an email from them when you have articles to Digg or Stumble and if you don’t…well, you just won’t get paid, simple as that!

You won’t make huge amounts of money working for them, but you will make a nice small supplemental income. Usually it takes less than about 10 seconds to Digg or Stumble an article…so imagine getting paid for that. I was going to do this review quite some time ago, but I was unsure of how my sign-up would pan-out and how it all worked. I am now recommending them because of how much I enjoy doing the “work”, if you can call it that.

Anyhow, check out Subvert and Profit! What’ve you got to lose? (Nothing!)

I apologize for this article being “late”, but it has taken me the last couple of days to write. It’s hard work compiling, verifying and describing such a large list of links but alas on with the story…

So, some of you may know this, but I would bet that many others of you do not…that you can get a lot of traffic from social bookmarking websites. You can get this traffic by submitting your website or blog to social bookmarking websites. There’s a lot of spam out there and I really suggest that you don’t contribute to it, therefore try to bookmark or share sites that have interesting or useful information on them. It should be pretty easy for most bloggers to do this, since most of you have interesting or useful articles on your website. Now, the decision is to choose one or two articles that you want to promote and get to work. And, I didn’t mention the word “work” lightly, it will be a bit of work but it’ll be well worth it.

Ok, so my link train article (or “death to link trains”) was extremely successful and I thought I could do a bit more for the cause. So, why not create a button to show support? Now in all fairness to not “steal” PageRank popularity from others, I am making this button available in a few different ways.

So, what can this button do? Well, the button itself shouldn’t be doing anything unless you have a vivid imagination. The button should be posted on your website or blog to show your commitment to stop useless link trains! If you feel the same way as I do, please post it on your site! The best part of this deal is, you don’t have to give me any credit! Yes, that’s right…not only is this button free, but it’s got no strings attached :). As for where you can put the button…well, put it anywhere you feel you should. I’d appreciate any help getting the word out there, so please send this button to other people or get people to download it here, or wherever. Even if you want to host it on your site and ask people redistribute it, go for it! Let’s work together to end useless link trains for the readers out there!

If you want, I am linking one button to my “death to link trains” article so if you think people don’t understand what a link train is, they’ll have a point of reference. As for the other two buttons, one is just going to be posted here so you can right click and do a “save as…” and just post it onto your site, and the other button will be hosted on my server so you only have to put some HTML code on your website for the button to show up.

Here is the code to put the regular button on your site:

<img src=”http://joemidway.com/images/nolinktr.png” alt=”End link trains” style=”border: 0;” /></a>

And here is the code to put the linked button (linked to the “Death to link trains” article) on your site:

<a href=”http://joemidway.com/2007/08/01/blogging/death-to-link-trains/” title=”Death to link trains”><img src=”http://joemidway.com/images/nolinktr.png” alt=”Death to link trains” style=”border: 0;” /></a>

Well that’s it! I hope you enjoy it and spread the word!
