What Happened to Click for Nick?

I haven’t updated this blog in over 1 year, for good reason. Click for Nick started out as a project to learn more about making money online, to share the experience. However in the last year I’ve gone on to bigger and better things. I started out making a lowly $500 a month. Now I make $12,000 a month using adsense and affiliate marketing.

I have a range of about 30 blogs, some full automated generating up to $30 a day, others written by employees which I also consider to be fully automated. Basically I realized that its not hard to take yourself out of having to do any work at all. Find a successful blog topic, hire a writer, then move on to the next topic.

Now most of my time is spent on research, research, and more research. Once I’ve discovered a successful niche, I’ll move on to a new topic. This was the best way for me to grow my income into the $400 a day it is now.

Mahalo, The Ultimate Seo Mashup Setup?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:11:30 +0000

One site I’ve been paying more attention to lately is Mahalo which seems to be the ultimate SEO machine. Mahalo does well as a mashup that I had to wonder if having a mashup would be the best layout for a blog? Does pulling up related Google searches, Google images, videos, etc help give your blog better rankings? Mahalo seems to think so, taking their posts to the extreme, having automatic content automatically posted from across the web.

In fact if you look at Mahalo’s feed, they are having topics to get indexed by google that have no original content. They just mashup the information using scripts that automatically grab related content. Did they find a loophole that lets them get indexed very well with stealing content in a legitimate way? They only take the amount of description that Google has and in fact the only have thumbnails of the images. No legal issues have been raised yet that I know of. So maybe Mahalo really does have one of the best seo tools?

Review of Vibrant Media, Total ECPM

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:51:02 +0000

Vibrant Media is one new ad agency I’ve started using so I thought a review was necessary. Vibrant media offers in text advertising for websites that get 500k users. Does the ECPM live up to the hype? Currently their ecpm is good, and it does pay pretty good per ad click. However, most of their ads only show up in the USA and Canada so you’ll need to use another ad agency for foreign traffic.

Currently I’ve been using a combination of Vibrant Media and Infolinks to get the most out of my text links. So far the combination has paid off, giving me a higher total earnings than using either ad company alone.

If your website does qualify for their stringent requirements, leave me a comment below and I can personally recommend you too their ad agency.

Infolinks Increasing ECPM Lately?

admin — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:12:30 +0000

It looks like infolinks has once again increased its ECPM, making it a valuable service to run once again. I emailed infolinks customer support which wrote that they aren’t experience a decrease in advertisers, and that in fact I should see an increase in revenue. So far, I have seen an increase in ecpm, which looks like a good sign.

Infolinks still seems to pay higher than kontera.

Infolinks Changes Adshare Lowest ECPM

admin — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:53 +0000

It seems that infolinks has been paying the lowest ECPM ever. This may be due to the fact that I’ve been told that infolinks no longer takes 25% revenue share, but a whole 50% share. If this rumor is true then that means infolinks is most likely losing advertisers and taking our money to make up for it. This leads to lower ECPM and less money overall.

*update, infolinks seems to be paying higher ecpm now. They’ve responded immediately to my requests and have assured that their ecpm will be raising soon.

Infolinks ECPM Earnings Going Down?

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 20:42:10 +0000

I’ve noticed that after I leave infolinks up for long enough my earnings tend to go down. In fact my ecpm was cut in half after a month of good earnings. Does this mean infolinks is having trouble securing advertisers? Is my infolinks ecpm low because they need more profits? What’s the deal here?

*update, infolinks seems to be paying higher ecpm now. They’ve responded immediately to my requests and have assured that their ecpm will be raising soon.

Best Wordpress Auto Posters and Auto Feed Stealers?

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:59:21 +0000

When it comes to auto blogging, their is no auto poster that can beat pure handmade written text, but they can however add content easily and automatically stealing feeds from whatever post you want on the internet.

In fact auto posters can be really helpful if you need to compile information fast from various sources and don’t have the time to do it. Take for instance a coupon site. You could use an auto poster to compile coupons from many different coupons, then manually go in and approve which coupons to post.

Some of the various auto posters out there, that are also free include:
Wp O Matic

WP-Venus

One of the premium auto posters I’ve been using is called MyVideoBlog and automatically takes feeds based on youtube and republishes them including the video. I’ve got my own custom templates designed to make things even more unique. Of course I go through and hand write all the posts myself for even more unique articles.

The Key To High Ranked Pages in Google, Being First

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:01:38 +0000

One of the best ways to get highly ranked in Google is simply being first when it comes to the search engine. Google often ranks my posts which are first the best. Many people have figured out this theory and therefore try to post new topics before anyone else does.

Being first in my experience is one of the number 1 factors for getting a good search result. Write it first and you will get highly ranked. Of course having a good page rank can help that as well as many links going back to your page. But in any case, try to be first and you’ll get better ranked pages.

Making Money Online Without Google or Adsense?

admin — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:43:36 +0000

Can you make a successful online business without relying on Google or using Adsense to earn profits? The answer is yes, that there are many websites making money online without relying on Google at all. In fact using Google Adsense can be stressful since your income can fluctuate daily with minimal control.

Relying on Google for traffic is a good way for users to come to your site for free, but what happens if Google changes the way it ranks your website and you lose much of your traffic. What would you do?

Though I’ve relied on Google’s search engine and their adsense system for a long time, it’s time to start thinking outside the box. There are people selling products on eBay for money, people offering services ect.

My new years resolution? Start making money with ways outside the Google stronghold!
