How to use URL Redirection to Make Money
I have found
a way to use URL redirection
to make very easy money. This technique
is perfect
for those
that want
to make an
extra buck or for those
that want
to multiply this system
and make
some serious cash. First,
you need
to sign up for
a few affiliate programs (I recommend
http://ClickBank.com and http://CJ.com). These companies
will give
you a commission for every sale made through
your link.
Find a few products
that look
appealing and get
your affiliate link for them. If
you are having problems finding
your affiliate link, then contact your affiliate manager. Now you need
to create a list
of keywords for each product. Use SeoBook(
http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword/)
to find some keywords and
how many times each one
has been
searched. I recommend finding about 4-5 keywords and focusing on only them.
Now you
will need
to create redirections for each
of your affiliate links. I use
http://7P6.net because they allow me to edit
the title/description/keywords and track where my visitors are coming
from. Plus, their ads are very
minimal and they have a Links Bar that becomes a very important tool when using this tactic (more on that later). Be sure to include some
of your keywords
in the url, and use slashes to space out
the keywords. Example: www.some-keywords-here.xxxx.net.
You
will be using this url to
earn commissions from your list
of products, and the majority of your visitors will
come from search engines. So, the search engines will need
something to read, right? Therefore, you will need to edit your url Title, Keywords, and Description. Obviously, you can't
do this with your regular affiliate links. But you
can do this with a
good url redirection service like
7P6.net. So get on
there and include your 4-5 keywords on the Meta
Tag forms in your account.
So, once you have your link created, submit
it to MSN, Yahoo, and
Google. Here are the direct submission links:
http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.htmlhttp://beta.search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspxhttp://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurlDon't
worry about any other search engines! Focusing on these will provide you with the most hits.
The other search engines will eventually pick up your page anyway.
The last part of this process is to get incoming
links to your site (ie: you need other sites linking to your url).
The easiest way to
build your links is to get on as many forums that allow advertising and post your url on their site. Make sure that you use your keywords in the link. This will directly improve your search engine rankings. And don't forget to use different keywords for each of your postings! Post as much as you can before moving on to the next product.
The more posts, the better your search engine ranking.
Also, using the link in your signature can help.
Another way to build links is to find link
partners (ie: people that will exchange links with you). But
it has been impossible to do this with a traditional url redirection website
- until
now. The redirection service that I use - 7P6.net - allows me to add other peoples links directly to my url via a Links Bar. It helps me build my search engine
rankings when I'm starting a new url. And, if I get a decent search engine ranking, it allows me to sell a few
extra links on a 'per month' or 'per year' basis via Paypal. This is
just a bonus and it is not
required to make money with this tactic.
There are a few things to keep in mind when exchanging links. You will find that most of the people you ask will reject you or not
even respond. This is
all part of link building and it
works this way even if you have your own domain name. Be persistent and polite and you will get some link partners. And if you can't get any link
partners for a few of your urls, it is likely that you will still rank in the search engines just
by posting on forums.
There are two things that make this tactic so effective:
1. You are showing them the home page instead of a sales
pitch website or blog.
2. People that view your site will bookmark your redirection page instead of the company page. So when they re-visit, you will still get your commission!
3. It doesn't take much time to create a url. Then you can
easily create more and more to recieve a regular flow of commissions.
Here is a real life example:
Lets say I want to promote
ink cartriges. The
first step would be to create 'cheap-ink-cartriges.7p6.net'. Notice the use of keywords in the title and the slashes used to space out the keywords. Next, submit your link to MSN, Yahoo, and Google.
Then I would make a list of 4 specific ink cartrige keywords: 'buy ink', 'buy ink cartriges', 'cheap ink cartriges', 'cheap printer ink'.
Here is what I would fill out on the Meta Tag forms (notice the use of keywords):
----------------------------------------------
Title: Buy Cheap Ink Cartriges For Your Printer
Keywords: buy ink, buy ink cartriges, cheap ink cartriges, cheap printer ink
Description: The best website to buy cheap printer ink cartriges.
----------------------------------------------
Next I would add my link on forums that allow me to advertise. Remember, the more posts, the better your search engine ranking.
Here is an example posting:
Here is the best website to [URL=
http://cheap-ink-cartriges.7p6.net]buy cheap ink cartriges[/URL].
One thing to keep in mind is that it is 10X easier to get
hits from MSN and Yahoo than to worry about Google!
Also, Be Patient! It takes time to get listed and while you are waiting, you need to be creating more
pages. More pages = more money. You may not make millions doing this, but this is some easy automated money and you can
work as little or as much as you want.
TIP: Create multiple urls to promote a single product. This way you can focus on more keywords and get more hits to your affiliate link!
You can also make money by creating a website on a free host and promote multiple products in a single category. It is still recommended that you create a different redirected url for each page on your site to
receive the most search engine traffic. You could also monetize your url with
Google Adsense and Adbrite by using a free host and a redirected url for each page.
I hope you decide to use url redirection to make some cash. This is one of the only 100% free
ways to make money online. Good luck.

Briefly Examining The Football Controversy
By far
the most popular
sport worldwide is
football. Every year, millions
of fans come together
to experience
the exciting moments offered by
football players
in venues around
the globe. Being
a team sport,
football not only exercises
the human
body and mind, but also
brings people together to produce
measurable results. With famous players
from every country, like
the Brazilians Pel
and Zico,
or the Hungarian Pusks, football-which is
usually referred to
as Association football
in order to distinguish
it from rugby football-has literally
been worshiped
mainly by male fans.
At least
once, every boy
in almost every neighborhood has been
invited to participate
in a friendly
match of football -also known as "soccer." Promoted by international competitions like
the Olympic
Games and the FIFA World
Cup, both held every four years, football has become
the main subject
of several
discussions held among men and a cause of tremendous
joy or misery. Watching a
great goal or loosing a
game can be
the subjects of debate or celebration amongst football
fans, sports writers and athletes
alike. But, most importantly, football
unites and excites people of
all ages everywhere
in the world
regardless of
their religion,
their culture, or their political and
ethnical backgrounds.
Yet, the
word "football" is
used in reference to two
different, but related, team sports. Whilst in most English-speaking countries the word "football" usually
refers to Association football (soccer
being a slang abbreviation of the word "Association") in the countries of Canada, Samoa and the United
States football is used to refer to the game of rugby-also referred to as
North American football and Gaelic football. Although most
consider that the word "football" refers to an action performed by a foot -like
kicking a ball-there
are some who
accept another explanation and justify the use of hands in a rugby game. Specifically,
during the Middle Ages, games played by peasants and
involved a ball, which they did not
necessarily kick, were described with the name "football"-games played on foot-as
opposed to horse-riding,
for instance, with was a sports game played mainly by aristocrats. Under this
notion, with the word "football" one may
describe any game played on foot.
But no matter if football was played primarily with the upper or lower
body and regardless if it should or should not
involve the use of hands, the fact still
remains that it is the
biggest success in sports history. In fact, football is one of the
few sports in existence today that can exhilarate sports fans in such a degree and give to everyone owning a round shaped ball the opportunity to become a champion for
at least a day.
