TECHNOPRENEURS: Welcome to Our Blogsites by Dr. Aileen L. Camba

Much as we enjoyed our work in government service and doing part-time jobs, though, we felt that something was still missing. We were receiving good salary with good benefits, but still wasn’t happy. “We then asked ourselves – how long will we going to work to have a good life?” It was then that we decided to become TECHNOPRENEURS.

It was only last February 2008 that we tried to start working online. We opened our first site, The QUANTCrunch Training Solutions and Consultancy an online homework help blog spot for College and Graduate students from Australia, Canada, the Philippines, United Kingdom, and the United States providing detailed way of solving problems related to Basic Accounting, Economics, Finance, and Statistics. This site which is affiliated with international online tutorial companies is running with 2 Ph.D./Doctorate, 4 MS and 2 MBA expert tutors at this time.

During the managing of The QUANTCrunch Training Solutions and Consultancy we learned more and more. We received tremendous support from our customers and realized the potential of freelancing internet business. We responded and expand our freelancing areas.

We started our second site, The Outsourcing Site, now affiliated with international outsourcing companies: LimeExchange, GetACoder, Eufreelance, Scriptlance, and GetAFreelancer. After The Outsourcing Site it went very fast with the creation of blogsites like Blog IT Online which has given us a guaranteed monthly extra income.

On these sites, our partners and members, mostly from the Philippines, will earn money for doing tutorial and outsourcing jobs, answering online surveys, clicking links, reading emails and more money making resources on line. If you are looking to earn money just visit our sites.

How to Earn Money with Google Adsense by Dr. Abraham C. Camba Jr.

Google’s AdSense is a fascinating revenue-sharing opportunity for small, medium and large web sites. Some webmasters are designing brand new sites specifically for serving AdSense text ads, however it’s against the AdSense rules to design a site purely for AdSense, so you’ll want to include a few Affiliate links or sell your own product, too.

Steps
1. Determine a goal for what you want to earn using AdSense. Of course, you want to earn a lot, but make sure it's realistic. Consider that to earn $1 a day per page, you need, per page:
o 400 visitors, 5% click-through rate (CTR) and average 5c payout.
o Or 200 visitors, 10% CTR and an average 5c payout.
o Or 100 visitors, 10% CTR, and an average 10c payout.
o Or 100 visitors, 5% CTR, and an average 20c payout
2. Build a skeleton set of pages that have no content, just titles and some meta tags. Ads could be displayed on them; although all you see are public service ads at first, but the very act of displaying ads on a page causes the AdSense web crawler to quickly fetch that page for analysis. A page with good content will thus begin showing relevant paying ads fairly quickly.
3. Build keyword-rich pages containing well researched, profitable keywords, and get lots of high quality links to your site. For example, if your site is about topics such as debt consolidation, web hosting or asbestos-related cancer, you’ll earn much more per click than if it’s about free things. On the other hand, if you concentrate only on top-paying keywords, you’ll face an awful lot of tough competition. What you want are keywords that are high in demand and low in supply, So do some careful keyword research before you build your pages.

Tips
• Quality is the most important part of any web site. If your site does not contain the content of expected quality the visitor might not come back,
• A great resource for earning money is using traffic driving sites like Flixya[1]. You can sign up for Google Adsense and Flixya, without the costs or time needed to build traffic or your own site.
• Avoid non-English characters on English pages. There is a bug which can cause these pages to show irrelevant French ads.
• Although Google doesn't release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do say that it's the text content of the page that matters, not the meta tags.

Warnings
• If you don't have any content, Google will have to guess what your page is about. It may guess wrong, and so the ads that it displays may not be relevant.
• Do not click your ads. If Google catches you, they have the right and will close your account and retain any earnings you might have.
