Arranged by the well-known Performancing.com, this new ad concept has added thousands of blogs into their network. More and more bloggers join the market place which really attracts many advertisers.

Monetized sites and blogs are the latest trend these days. Everyone is passionate to join into the emerging online market. A farmer in a Siberia, Russia wants to sell his organic weed online. A batik handicraft in Solo is interested to reach his customer abroad directly. In other case, a major hypermarket network wants to expand its service by providing online order. All have realizes the importance of websites as marketing and advertising tools.

However, the reality would not be as easy as imagined. It’s not easy to sell our product when our site is hard to find in the first search engine pages. Search Engine Ranking Page(SERP) is significant in the SEO world. It’s also as hard as it mentioned to attract visitor when the site are not performing user friendly and eye catchy design.

Then, it’s obvious that online seller must combine at least to aspects in order to sell. The two phrases have been some of the notices by several well known internet marketer gurus. An ideal commercial site should consider design and SEO friendly keywords and contents.

So, now when the problem is getting clearer, I think everyone will look for a web designer and a SEO Professional. Now, what if I tell you that you can get both services in just one provider? Really? Yes. Some firm has offer either as a single package or as an optional service. One of the leaders in this field is Kentucky Website Design. This firm has combining web design and SEO service altogether. By then, customers will have a blog and websites with well design and search engine optimized at the same time.

Pagerank was UPDATED! I heard this for the first time in Digital Point Forum. You can read the threads here and here.

Yup, someone is going to be very happy. Another would yell at this unfair decision made by Google.

But, WAIT! Is it true that Google has updated its Pagerank?

To be honest, I’m not sure… Well, some people have been predicted for Pagerank Update around last July or August First. Recently, this rumor has made SEO practitioner, blogger and webmasters sleepless…

However, some people just quote Matt Cutts, Mr. Google himself, for this shocking news. Here is what he said in his blog on July 24, 2008 @ 4:26 pm

Hey folks, I wanted to let you know that new toolbar Pagerank values should become visible over the next few days. I’m expecting that also in the next few days that we’ll be expiring some older penalties on websites.

For you that who doesn’t know who Matt Cutts is, here is his brief profile in Wikipedia

Matt Cutts works for the quality group in Google, specializing in search engine optimization issues. He is well known in the SEO community for enforcing the Google Webmaster Guidelines and cracking down on link spam. Cutts also advised the public on how to get better website visibility in Google.

For more information, you can dig here

Again, I’m still not sure. I spend all night to verify this news. None can assure me…

I check my blog with several Pagerank checker and there is no change at all with its Pagerank. I check my friend’s blog and nothing happen. Here is Pagerank services I use:

• http://www.mypagerank.net/index.php?action=services&name=googlepagerank&file=index

• http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php

• http://www.pageranktool.net/

• http://pr.blogflux.com/

• http://www.iwebtool.com/visual_pagerank

The result would be different if I check with this tool which some people said has been update the Pagerank data from Google DataCenter

Both the online business owners to the major and small offline business enterprise have been aware the opportunity that blog has been offer for. Not only blog is an effective business tool, blog also capable to pull customer’s loyalty.

Presenting a more human face to your online customers

Blogs DO generate more sales and more profits on the internet! There is an increasing number of businesses enjoying a shift after started blogs. The easier blogging activities improved by some blog service like blogger.com and wordpress.org. Thousands of plug-ins, templates and tools have made blogging as business more feasible. Customers also use RSS feeds to update new product and service or just use internal search engine to help them come into the right decision.

So, what are you waiting for? There is probably no better time to start a business blog than… RIGHT NOW.

How to increase your sales and profit by blogging? Well, this would answer your hesitation. There are 3 main reasons why blog, compare to static website, are an excellent tool for Search Engine Optimisation (SEO):

- Generate Better Search Engine Rankings

In the world of online business, search engine ranking is everything. By getting better listed in some major search engine, customers will be easier to find our business. There are millions of competitors, selling the same product as we offer.

To be show up at the top of the search engine like Google and Yahoo will assure people can find our business. That’s why search engine optimization (SEO) has become one of the issue in online business. Every business owner wants to be placed in the top of the search engine rankings.

A blog that support your static website, undeniable, is an effective tool to help you rise up the search engine ranking. And to make it even better, the cost is almost free. Business blog will help us improve our Keywords and Links.

- Reach a Wider Audience

The main key is how to make your blog attractive enough. You can enhance the design as well as the content. Targeted reader will take advantage of regularly updated information than a static sale web site ever could. They are not necessarily to be directed to buy something right away.

In the same time, by providing ‘neutral’ and valuable information, the credibility of your business will also increase. This will transform the ‘paying’ customer into loyal customer. Image branding and product awareness also reach easily.

The same achievement can be gain by offline business. Although this kind of business doesn’t directly sell anything online, a well written and friendly blog can also help to spread the word about your business. The popularity of your blog will bring more visitors to your business place.

- Boost Your Revenue

Business blog also provide a couple of additional revenue. Not only can the blog drive visitor to your online or offline store, third party ads will produce extra income. The option range from Google AdSense, banner ad or affiliate program.

- Humanize your business

Blog seems more personal than static website. You can post advices, tips and updates on your products, services and industry as well as addressing any particular customer concerns or queries.

Customer will look your business more human since it doesn’t always seem sell product all the time. Your product image will increase. The personal touch helps to create trust and customer loyalty build naturally. Ultimately, your personal business blog increases your overall sales and profits

That’s all for now, folks. Still waiting to create your own blog?

In his popular free eBook describing his success to raise profit from his blog, John Chow recommends some ad network and affiliate program he uses. They were chosen from a list of 130 ad network he use at one time and another. Beside their good service and support, John Chow stresses their ability to commit on time payments. Here is the money-makers list:

Kontera ContentLink

This ad network allows you to make money from online advertising even without giving up any advertising spots, i.e. banner, widget, etc. Kontera will only read your post and turns certain words into an ad. The highlightened words will be double underlined and showed pop up ads when your site visitor hover it.

Although Kontera normally require a site have minimum 500.000 page view per month, John Chow partnership with Kontera, enable smaller blogger, like meJ, to use ContentLink service.

Text Link Ads

The best of Text Link Ad is the link just offer advertisers traffic and search engine benefit. Readers of our blog don’t seem mind since they are not intrusive. Your link price is set by Text Link Ads, based on traffic, page rank and RSS subscribers.

Google AdSense

Even a John Chow still recommend ad service from big brother Google. Being a pioneer in ad network, Google known to be a consistent money maker from small blogger to professional full time blogger. Google simply display simple text and image ads on your blog that are based on what you are writing about.

Bidvertiser

Google AdSense now has potential competitor. Bidvertizer can pay their publisher with low limit payout, $10. This advantage would be interested for small blog, again like me, since it doesn’t have to wait that long as in Google AdSense which limits the pay out level $100.

AuctionAds

As one big eBay affiliate, Auction Ads put all their publishers into one big “collective” to go after the higher revenue share. Though right now affiliates will get 100% of any money they make from the system, as the collective moves up the eBay revenue share tiers, AuctionAds will start to take a cut of revenues.

ReviewMe

It is a sponsored review. Write a review from advertisers in your blog, and get paid, it’s that simple. However, how much you going to be paid are determined by your Alexa, Technocrati and RSS status.

TTZ Media

This is an ad network owned by John Chow himself. TTZ media use keywords based ads to show a list of online stores where related products can be purchased.

Feedburner Ad Network

FeedBurner just acquired by Google. The giant Google AdSense network can be seen in feeds provided by FeedBurner. The option to pick extra money from the net now available by monetizing your RSS feeds

Deal Dot Com

As an affiliate program, this ads network quite different than the other. Deal Dot Com offers until two-tier affiliate program. It means, you get a chance to collect affiliate bonus until two level of reference. For the firs level, you will collect 35%, while for the second level you will collect 15% commission. Even better, unlike AuctionAds that place a time limit (5% for 6 months) to your commission, Deal Dot Com doesn’t. You will still get the commission last forever even your referral buy something tomorrow or years from now.

So, which one is your choice? Me? Hmmm, let me think about it for a while…
