So it is time to say bye bye to Tyroo ads as the earning is less. It perform well on websites with Indian traffic, if you have good Indian traffic I recommend it to you. Currently I don’t have a website with good Indian traffic. When I told them about the poor performance with non Indian traffic they told me they are constantly trying to get more International Advertisers.
Everything is fine about Tyroo Ads, it is just that they don’t have enough advertisers with them. As I have already mentioned it is just matter of time and things will change! Tyroo has a great future in India.

Advantages of Tyroo Ads

• Suits Indian websites better.
• Good alternative to Google Adsense.
• Can be used along with Google Adsense as it is non contextual based.
• Minimum checkout payment amount is only Rs. 2500.
• Code generated in couple of clicks.
• They share almost 65% of revenue with the publishers.
• You can actually hide Ads by Tyroo tag unlike Ads by Google tag.
• Good Customer care.

Disadvantages of Tyroo Ads

• Needs Indian traffic.
• Less advertisers’ base.
• Needs more user friendly interface.

As you can see there are more advantages than disadvantages which clearly shows its potential. I will not quit using Tyroo Ads but will use it at right place, may be sooner or later.

I think the above mentioned reason is enough to block them. Now the next question arises , how to distinguish such advertisers from other high profitable advertisers.

Search and Destroy

It is now time to search the Adsense ads on your website, Don’t click on the ad to find out the url of your advertisers. Instead if you look closely at the ads you will find that the url will be mentioned below the ad text. Now type this url directly on the address bar of your web browser. This way you will not be violating the Google Adsense Term of Service (TOS).

Now once you are on the website look out for these conditions :

• Are they using Adsense or promoting any other advertisers ?
• What product they sell ?
• How much they are selling their product for ?
• Do they have a professional design ?
• Do they have a support, contact page ?

Let us now search for these points in the advertisers who were advertising on my website. The url is www dot kapeeshwara dot com ( I don’t want to promote him by giving him a link back here ). Now you can see on this website that they are filled up with ads everywhere. So this website fails our test. Now start up a text editor and paste this url and develop a list by doing this test with other advertisers. When you are done developing the list it is time to block all these advertisers.

Here are some advertisers that I found on my website

• agilemarketer dot com
• ncomesbizhub dot com
• nternetincomeexposed dot com
• ifestylechanger dot ws
• oneypayday.altervista dot org

To block these advertisers login to your Google Adsense account , browse to My Account > Competitive Ad Filter . In the text box below copy paste your list and select save changes. Once that is done your account will be updated in 24 hours. Now you are free from these low paying advertisers and better paying ads will start appearing on your website.

Conclusion:

Even though we have removed low paying ads from our website, but we have to constantly monitor our ads to find out such advertisers. There is no need to do this every day, you can do it once a week or once a month for that matter.

Happy Adsense Earning

With the launch of Tyroo, it has come as a relief to 1000′s of webmasters banned from Google Adsense. I went ahead and signed up for Tyroo to test it. Currently I have replaced Google Adsense with Tyroo temporarily to check how it works out. The minimum payment amount is Rs.2500 , and the payout period is 1 month. Currently there are not enough advertisers in Tyroo, but that will change once it starts picking up.

They are already accepting publishers, just go ahead and register. I signed up for Tyroo ads on saturday and today my account was activated.

So what are you waiting for

Web directories are a listing of websites which are submitted by the webmasters. A directory are mainly categorised into two types A general directory and a niche directory. A general directory has lots of sections and subsections where all the indexed websites are categorized. A niche based directory is a directory which is based on a special category for eg. Travel, Food, etc.

Free directory or Paid directory

Free directories are good if you are planning to index a lots of website and earn via advertisements. But in a paid directory you can charge webmasters for listing there websites. A directory is considered successful if it manages to sell paid listings. Making webmasters to pay up for listing is tough, but if your directory is worth it will rain money for you.

Set up a Web Directory

To set up a directory we must choose the best directory software which suits our need. The market leader in directory software is PHP Link Directory (phpld). The current available version of phpld is 3.2 (paid version) the older version PHPLD2 is available for free download. To install this software you need a php server with mysql for database. Installing is straight forward. In the cpanel create a new user, new database and make the user use the database. Upload all the files in the archive to the / (root) of the server if you want to install it on the domain or you can install it under a folder like www.something.com/directory/ . Once uploaded point the browser to /install and the installation will begin input the required details and your directory is up and running. You can also choose a variety of themes to match your taste. You can find many phpLD themes here.

Once your directory is up and running you can add new categories and sub categories from the administrator panel of the web directory. Now your directory is ready. It is now time to promote your web directory.

Promoting a Web Directory

This part is the most essential part as it will determine the success or failure of your directory.

• Announce the directory in all major webmaster forums ( Digital Point, Sitepoint,V7N , Directory Owners).
• Buy paid links at other popular paid link directory.
• Buy ad links on other directories.
• Keep your directory links as your signature in forums.
• Do link exchange with other web directories.
• Submit your directory to other directories, directories of directories.
• Submit your directory to DMOZ.org
• Enable SEO friendly urls for your directory.

Managing a Web Directory
This is probably the most important thing to be considered, ” People buy link only if it is worth “. It doesn’t matter if you have the best looking directory on the web. Over a period of time you will find out that lots of useless, MFA (Made For Adsense), porn, drugs, SPAM, illegal websites being submitted. Under no condition you must accept them even if they are PAID. No webmaster wants to see there website listed next to an illegal website.

Another important thing to notice is over a period of time your directory should get stronger in terms of number of incoming links and quality of website indexed. This will help you get higher search engine ranking and a good PR (Page Rank). Most of the time it is on the basis of Page Rank a directory is compared. Higher PR directory get more paid listings.

Setting the Price

It is very important to set up the right pricing for the featured listings. If it is too high you are over priced and if it is too less you are not worth it. In the beginning price it around $4.95 for one year. Keep the free links open. Once you get a PR 4 raise it to $10. As you reach PR6 you can charge around $25-$30. Again the price depend on how brand your directory. By default phpLD accepts Paypal. Paypal also happens to be the most preferred way for making payment in the webmasters world. I recommend you to have a paypal account as it will be useful to you at some point of time even if you are not using ebay. Sign up for Paypal.

Conclusion

Running a successful directory takes lots of commitment, time, dedication and patience. If you planning to get rich over night running a directory then surely it is not for you. Take your time, give directory its time. Brand the directory, make your directory heard in webmaster forums (don’t over do it, else you get banned for spamming).

Introduction

With the launch of social networking websites more and more people are getting online. The best part of a social networking website is we find lots of people with similar interest at the same place. We will take this for our advantage. You can call this method as spamming, but I call it a quick method to make money. Even though I have never used to method myself, but thought it might be helpful to starters. If you have already been in Orkut you will know how much it is spammed.

Get an account

It is time you sign up for an Orkut account, remember to choose the gender as Female. Choose your age no more than 25, choose a decent name. Once you are done creating you account, it’s time to add friends. Before you start adding it is very important to choose your niche. The choice of niche is completely dependent on you, but don’t choose a serious niche for Social Networking website as most of the kids are way too “cool” for your niche. Choose a niche like Bollywood news, Wallpapers of some actress or anything for that matter. Now depending on your niche, search for the communities and start adding friends. Add as many as you can, guys will never reject your friends request . We are done with our part of selecting a niche and selecting the target audience.

Build a Landing Page

It is time to take them to place where we want them to go. The page where we will take them is called as the landing page. A landing page is a highly targeted web page made specifically for target audience. Now the obvious question is how to make a landing page? If you already have some basics knowledge of web designing you can go ahead and create a web page, if you are still uncomfortable drawing your layout but can mange editing the html codes then I recommend you download a free template from these websites OSWD, Six Shooter Media I recommend you to use Six Shooter Media templates because they fit our purpose better. I have downloaded this template(Godetia). If you have absolutely no knowledge of HTML, I recommend that you learn some HTML before getting started. Now it’s time to choose the product we want to promote. I chose to promote is Trendy.in .To get the contents for the page, I get it from wikipedia.org. Once contents go in, I add my referral codes and start promoting it.

Promoting your Landing Page

This is the most important phase in your quest to earn money. We had signed up in Orkut and made friends with similar taste. The niche I chose here is Trend, fashion. A very happening niche for young people. Now I will go ahead and send my landing page to all my friends and the chance of them checking the landing page and signing it up is very high. We can also motivate them to promote our landing page to there friends. More people sign up, I earn more. If you planning to promote your landing webpage seriously I consider you register a domain name and buy some server space ( You can contact me, I can provide you server space at competitive prices ).

Conclusion

Now you would have got an overall idea on how to go about making a referral website and earn some money promoting your advertiser. By using this method you won’t be rich in a day or two. You will need a network of such websites to earn your decent amount of money.

The pricing set by AdGinger seems a bit costly to me. mGinger Pays there publishers 20 paise per message and AdGinger is charging Rs. 2 per message. The profit range of AdGinger seems way too high. They should cut on there price, else they will loose lots of potential advertisers like me. Considering the fact that me being a mGinger publisher, the chances of me reading the sms is very low. I am already spammed by my network provider (Hutch) with there promotional sms which I delete with pleasure.

• mGinger Reviewed : Review

mGinger is a marketing company that gets paid by the advertisers to send mobile ads in to it’s publishers mobile. It also shares a percentage of this revenue with it’s publishers. A very unique concept in India, where the mobile phones sells faster than hot cakes. With unbelievable penetration of mobile phones, it was high time for any company to use mobile phones as an advertising media.

Are they real ?

The way mGinger is progressing it looks they are for real. Here users have nothing to loose. A member of mGinger doesn’t have to share any credit card, or debit card information. But they do collect your private informations like, your mobile number and your residence address. The main concept behind mGinger is to send advertisements to its users with their permission. They could have always gone through illegal channels to get our mobile numbers. If you think your mobile number is not with these spammers beware!!! For your information, your number is worth 1 paise in the market. Yes, these spammers collect your mobile number and sell it to other advertisers who then spam there users. If you would have ever got a call from a company that wants to sell it’s insurance to you, then you can confirm that your number is already in that database! With this example I can say yes mGinger is for real. mGinger has also been on news.

• You get 20 paise per ad.
• A person referred by you when receives an ad you get 10 paise (First level referral)
• If that person refers another member to mGinger and and that member gets an ad you get 5 paise (second level referral)
• You get your check as soon you make Rs 300.

How much can I make ?

Can i get rich by referring members and reading advertisements? Well the answer is no, I am not saying that mGinger said so. Lets do some maths.. you get paid 20 paise per ads, per day you can get maximum 10 ads so per day you make Rs2. If you have made lots of referrals your revenue may change. Let us consider, you make Rs2 per day so it will take you 150 days (5 months) to get your check worth Rs 300. To earn quicker you really need a big referral tree under you. So you can see you can’t make a fortune using mGinger. But you can surely pay your phone bills once a while. Another problem that mGinger is currently facing is the lack of advertisers. Since this concept is new, few advertisers are trying our mGinger. Once the Advertisers get the hang of it these numbers can change.

Future of mGinger?

Can mGinger survive the cut throat competition of the Advertising world? is probably the next big question. As far as I can see the concept is new, unique and fresh. They have to sell their concepts to advertisers to the survive in this Industry. But they have done there homework by getting publishers. If mGinger manages to sell it’s concept to the Advertisers, i see mGinger being a leading company in this field else mGinger would be history. All the best guys!!
