Occasionally drain ebooks and other material that then I can not read for lack of time. Earlier this year I downloaded a pdf written by a prominent blogger, that John Chow, titled "Making Money Online" ("making money online") which describes the techniques used by this gentleman to monetize your blog with his sites.
I found the book interesting, even if it suggests techniques unscrupulous lot to exceed the guidelines of search engines. Some are good while others, in my opinion, you run the risk of being banned by Google in no time.
I have no intention here to describe the strategies of John, right or wrong they are. I like to test, and after reading how others have made my own things, with more or less success.
However, the case of John Chow intrigued me, so I did some research on his behalf.
I read his blog John Chow dot Com has been essentially banned from Google for selling links, and did post (reviews) for a fee. Without entering into controversy with the decisions of Google, who obviously thinks its interests, it must be noticed that it is he who makes the rules and then you have the right to eliminate those who do not respect them.
But given that Google is constantly changing I wanted to do my personal research on the case, as the latest news on this I found the latest to ban 2007/beginning 2008.
So I discovered a curious thing: in contrast to the bed, John's blog is no longer banned from Google, but evidently his rank was reduced to zero and has resumed his climb again.
Prior to his blog looking for his name appeared first (easy) and with the words "making money online" (soooo difficult). Now with this latest research has gone, but looking for "John Chow" appears to be in 5 th page of Google.com
On the other hand others have taken advantage of this gap: the first with the words "John Chow" is the site John Cow dot Com, while 3 ° is the site Not John Chow dot Com (I do not put direct links to not help even more these sites, as you can see).
These emulate the famous bloggers have made tit for tat, as they say. But even these tricks do not think that ethically correct.
What's good about the words of John Chow summarize the following:
- not creating content or sites only put advertising, but writing for visitors
- use different techniques to monetize their sites
- create many small useful sites instead of jumping into a single large project, unless raccogliate thousands and thousands of visitors a day
Last, I added:
- do not ever reveal their techniques, especially if they go against the guidelines of the motors (not recommended anyway)
In fact as soon as these techniques are revealed to be that an operator can Google (or another) reads, and also bans you accordingly!
As in the case of a company that, after having "boasted" of having increased their visits by placing your link on WikiPedia, was canceled even if the articles were written and contained other relevant links.
