Paypal and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) New Rules Starting March 1st 2011

January 30, 2011 Leave a Comment

It’s has become a little old news but is still worth mentioning. Paypal has been dealing with some security and policy issues with India and we heard quite a while ago that depositing money from Paypal to a bank in India was no longer possible. That little issue got fixed somehow and we were all happy when we had that email from Paypal regarding all holds are lifted for depositing your money.

I think that this new policy or rule tracks way back from then, they might have agreed on something like that. Starting from fiscal month of 2011, they would take new rules into effect regarding money transactions via Paypal.

New rules are very strict and very disappointing.

You will no longer be able to accumulate money in your Paypal account. You have to deposit or request it in your bank or credit card as soon as you see some money delivered in your Paypal account.
You will no be able to hold a transaction for export goods greater than $500.

Here’s a screenshot of the email we, all Paypal account holders, got.

How to increase your Hubscore easily?

January 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

As you already know (and even if you don’t, I have writtenit anyway) that there are multiple factors responsible for the calculation ofyour Hubscore. Hubscore is very essential if you want to use your Hubs to redirecttraffic to your blog and share some linkbenefit as well.

You see, if you have a Hubscore of 75 or more, then all ofyour nofollow tags will be converted to dofollow tags and that will increasethe chances of increasing the page ranking of your blog (if you have linked tothem), because now Google’s algorithm will think that a popular site (Hubpagesis definitely a popular site) is linking to you, so your blog must be ofimportance. This way, you’ll get better exposure and chances are that you wouldget better traffic than before.

So, according to Hubpages (as the Help page discloses about Hubscore),Hubscore is based on Amount of traffic, the reputation of hubber, the responseof readers to your hub, the uniqueness of content, etc. Along with all thesefactors, Hubpages also includes that they have the right to include or excludethe factors that are involved in the calculation of Hubscore.

I’ll update this post as the factors change but for now,we’ll focus on the factors which are in our hands right now.

Amount of Traffic

This includes percentage from reputable sources other thanHubpages. You can easily track your traffic if you have included Google Analyticscode in your Affiliate options. If you haven’t done, do so right now as it isof an extreme importance.

The traffic on my hubs comes majorly from Search Engineslike Google, Yahoo, and Bing, and when I analyze it further, Google is on top.So, I can safely assume that my Hubs are being listed in Google successfullyand a major part of my traffic is organic. However, there are other sourcestoo, that you can use to funnel your traffic to your hubs and increase youramount of traffic as well as justify the first criteria. This will not onlyhelp your hubs get better exposure but also your profile will get better position.

Due to a successful profile image (I am not talking aboutpicture), people will approach your hubs with more confidence than to some unknownperson who is silent on the web. You should use forums, bookmarking sites, YouTube,etc. to promote your hubs and gain better traffic opportunities. This is not asboring as it sounds. Once you start posting some videos on YouTube and see someviews rolling in, you become more confident and everything feels like funrather than boring.

For forums and bookmarking sites, I suggest that you takeyour best hubs (and I mean it) and promote them. Start a new thread if you’veintroduced a cool thing to the web with some research of your own or contributea useful answer to a friend and link it to your hub (remember, abide by therules of the forum. If they don’t allow links in signature then don’t do so. Wedon’t want to promote ourselves in every corner. Contributing a helpful answerwill help you generate a trust in your readers and they will pay attention towhat you have to say in your future posts.

Same goes for Bookmarking sites. If you promote yournot-so-great content then chances are that you will be banned from submittedmore content to their sites. The thing is, they also want to share qualitycontents and that’s why they have better page ranks than many great blogs outthere. The theory of trust work here as well. If you create a quality hub and thenpromote it, then people will automatically share it, thumb it up, tag ithigher, or whatever there is to make them say ‘this post is great’, they’ll doit.

The Reputation of the Hubber

Hubber Score can be obtained by contributing to Hubpagesitself. You can participate in Hubbing frog and jump from one hub to anotherwith few clicks and comment and rate them and like that. This way, you’d behelping Hubpages to optimize their content database and also you’d be helpingyour fellow hubbers by giving them a morale boost so that they can keep on Hubbing.

There is not much to say here. You can contribute tocommunity by participating in Hubpages forums. Solving some easy problems (thatare huge for whom they are troubling) and showing that you do understand yourstatus and responsibility as a hubber. You are now part of a business, inwhich, you are the customer, seller, manager, customer care and everything thatyou can think of, but obviously, in a different way.

The Response of readers to your hub

You don’t have to worry about this one. If you write niceand solid hubs then there is no way that people can resist their urge to thumbyou up or post an insightful or thankful comment. Also, if you do follow thewords that I stated above then you’re already a well known entity in the wideworld of Hubpages. You have a position and your hubs are great. So don’t getyourself tangled for this one. Your readers will take care of this for you. Allyou need to do is, post great content that can make people to link to you.

The Uniqueness of content

This is of utter importance again (like amount of traffic).You should not (and never) copy content from the web and just rewrite it andpost it. If you copy others contents or buy PLR articles, then you’ll never toable to accomplish for what you’ve joined Hubpages for. Be it anything, makingmoney, promoting your content, getting back-links for your website or blog.

Things Don’t End Here

That is right; Hubscore is a thing that you can’t controltotally. But you can definitely manage to stay well above 75 to earn thatpriceless link benefit or what other Internet Entrepreneurs call as Link Juice.Work hard and you’ll be able to reach the top and stay on it as well. Also,don’t think that you will have to do hard work every day, you can optimize yourcontent every week or every month and still stay above 75. The best thing islearning by yourself. So do it and learnon the way. That’s how many Internet Entrepreneurs have learned and nowteaching others the same thing.

Hubpages after 22 Days or 3 Weeks

September 14, 2010 Leave a Comment

[ad#300x250-box]

Make Money Online with Hubpages

It has been 22 days since I started with my make money online with Hubpages experiment and I have to disclose many things about it, so read on friends.

I started this experiment with a goal to see if there are other ways to make money online with articles.
Working on Hubpages was definitely a very pleasing experience because there are a lot of tools that you can count on to view your pace and journey.
With Hubscore I could easily determine the popularity of my Hubs or articles.
Creating Hubs is a very easy task and adding some great advertisements from Amazon and Ebay is absolutely a breeze.
However, I am not going to discuss all of that here. That was just to get us started with Hubpages.

After 22 Days

Due to various reasons I could only publish 14 Hubs in these 22 days and that was not going to do any good to me.
However, with Hubpages I could see my hubs being visited from the very first hour after publishing my hub.
I sent some links from Hubpages to my blog in order to increase my blog’s visibility and I was glad to see that it worked and my traffic strengthened up from before.
As far as the money goes, I made only $0.32 from one click (adsense click) on my hub, ‘Apple iPad 2 Release Date’.
That may sound very less (and it is) but the amount of work that I put (I didn’t actually made any effort) I am still happy with that.
Promoting is a must for articles and traffic and as you can see that I could only post 14 articles in 22 days, I could not find any time to promote my hubs.
That said, Hubpages still promoted my content on their own. Due to their high Alexa Rank and Page Rank, some of my not-so-great articles did well too. So I am not disappointed.

16 Days to go

I have 16 more days to go and yet to achieve a very hard goal of posting 150 articles till then.
I know I can do this because I am asking for help from my mates and I know that I can get them to write at least 30 articles and I’ll do the rest.
So, I am not saying that I am backing down from my Experiment, but I will work even harder to achieve it.
My hubs are focused heavily on technology and some are health related. So today, (it’s 3:42 A.M. and it’s a very dark night here), I’ll open Google Trends and look for topics to write about.
I hope that you’ll follow through this link to learn, how to write articles using Google Trends? (I’ll update it soon).
And as far as my hopes go, I have a higher goal of writing 300 hubs by December 2010 and that’s not impossible.

How to check Dofollow or Nofollow sites quickly?

September 3, 2010 Leave a Comment

[ad#300x250-box]
All of you (who are in article marketing field, whether via blogs or websites) know the importance of a dofollow tag in a hyperlink. If you want to rank better in google than you would want to promote your articles on a dofollow site rather than a nofollow site.

The benefit here is that if the site has a high PR (page rank) in Google then you will get the benefit as well. Google will see your link in their pages and then, will index your site even better.

This will only happen if the site doesn’t put ‘nofollow’ in their hyperlink tags.

If you want to search whether a site is nofollow or dofollow, then here’s a tip for you.

Open the site’s homepage and right click on a blank space and choose ‘View Source’. This will show you the source code for that website, then press ‘CTRL + F’. This will open the word finder of your browser. This is the default shortcut for all windows based internet browsers.

Type ‘Nofollow’ or ‘Dofollow’ and if the word is there (anyone of them), then there you have it.

The site will apply Nofollow tag with your links if you find too many ‘Nofollow’ in the source code of the website and if you find too many ‘Dofollow’, then the site will share the link juice or benefit with you.

Within seconds, you can determine whether the site would show your articles (with links to your blog or website) with Dofollow or Nofollow tag or not.

Stay optimized friends.

Using Hubpages for Quality Backlinks

August 23, 2010 1 Comment

[ad#300x250-box]
Oh yeah Sir! Hubpages is a great choice for quality backlinks and as well as a nice tool to promote your blog. I realised it when I started working on it.
To be very clear, I have only starting working 2 days ago and I’ve already had so many visits redirected by my hubpages articles.
If you are familiar with hubpages then you know this as well that if you get a hubscore of 75 or more than all your nofollow links turn into dofollow and I am just waiting for that to happen.
Hubscore is not that hard to achieve, all you need to do is write a good quality article, link it to some other hubbers (but relevance is important), recieve some good reviews on your article (not in your hands by an chance) and wait for the score to rise.
Also, when that happens (i mean when you get to 75 or more) the blog (your blog) recieves some quality link juice and ranks well in google search results and acts quite well on other SERPs (search engine results pages). So I am just trying to write as much as I can and trying not to sacrifice the quality.
The whole test with hubpages is going to take 39 days from now and I still have a lot to do.
Are you wondering that I am not talking about article marketing techniques from article directories like Ezine Articles, Go Articles, etc., that’s because they don’t help you make money while you promote your blog as well.
The best part is, a nice income boost can be added to both Adsense and Amazon Affiliate, if you are already using them. So, how about you join me with my hubpages experiment. Just comment and I’ll get to you on Hubpages for sure.

How well is John Chow’s Affiliate Marketing System?

March 17, 2010 2 Comments

If you have subscribed to John Chow’s website ‘www.johnchow.com‘ then you would have already got his post that was published the day before yesterday, How to really make money with Click Bank (or any other affiliate network). Well I am here to put some views on it. I just felt that I should. So here it is.

This post, which is 2300 words long (as per John Chow), can be considered as a small summary of his top quality ebook on Affiliate Marketing, i.e. Make Money Online. If you are that type of person who doesn’t want to read long ebooks then this post is very well suited for you.

The main advantage that you will get when you go through this post is, it’s very simple and best of all, it is stepwise. John Chow has made this post very much like a hyperlink to his ebook. Don’t get the wrong idea, it doesn’t need you to click anywhere else. It’s just a miniature of his ebook, that’s all.

This post focuses on 7 points and these are main chores to complete if you want to become a good affiliate marketer:-

Choose a series of Clickbank products in the same niche to promote
Create a free eBook about the niche to give away
Create a squeeze page offering the free ebook
Send traffic to the squeeze page
Capture the lead coming to the squeeze page
Deploy email auto responders with the Clickbank products
Watch the money rack up in your Clickbank account

John Chow did not put a lot of confusing words in these points, they are just simple to follow chores that can lead you to become a powerful affiliate marketer.

Right now, i would say that my little review is not complete because I’ve yet to try his formula or what he refers as ‘A (Click Bank) Affiliate Model that Works’.

By mentioning click bank throughout this post, he doesn’t mean that it won’t work on other affiliate products. The source doesn’t matter, it obviously doesn’t matter from where you are getting your product, what matters is that you must follow each step carefully and sincerely.

I may not be an affiliate marketer and I am definitely not. But I’ve been doing several tests with the life around me and they have taught me just one thing. And I can assure you that many successful will definitely agree with me. The thing is, ‘If you can’t enjoy what you do, you won’t feel the pleasure from the results it would bring you’!

P.S. – If you don’t get what John Chow wants to tell you (a most rare case), then all you have to do is put each of his points in your daily life. You’ll understand them for sure.

How to Create an Impressive Blog?

January 23, 2010 Leave a Comment

[ad#300x250-box]
Blog is just another method of sharing your interests with your family, friends and other people. Unlike the social sites like Orkut, hi5, bebo, etc., you get the full command on your stuff and the sharing options.

Blog is very much like a website when it comes to appearance. It has a domain name, an extension like .com, .net, .uk, .co.in, .co.ca, etc., a nice colorful page, links which direct you to their respective contents, ad banners, etc.

But there is very great difference between a regular website and a blog which has made blogging much more popular than creating a website. It is the ease of creating and displaying new content.

If you already know a little about how website is created then you already understand the pros and cons of a website. To create a website you must know PHP and HTML coding. You must code every page of your website. Updating a website means a lot of hassle and changes in HTML coding so that everything looks proper.

You must also change the layout of your front page so that latest content is on the top. Hence if you are not into PHP and HTML coding then you’ll have to borrow the knowledge from someone and learn how to code WebPages or you can just invest some money and let him do the job for you.

But in case of blogging you just have to click on a button, that is New Post and then you can proceed to your heading and rest of article matter without having to get any knowledge of HTML coding or anything like that.

Blogging stuff works in this manner:-

1. Blogs have their own domain name and extension just like a website does. You can buy a domain name from several websites nowadays which offer domain name and extension in several options. Like for 1 year, 2 year, etc. and .com, .net, .info, .org, etc., respectively.

2. If you don’t want to invest money or you don’t trust blogging then you can try it on free blogging platforms. There are two most popular blogging platforms that are currently being used by millions of people, www.Blogger.com and www.Wordpress.com. These two websites offer blogging platform for free. They also provide free hosting for your blog materials like uploaded pictures, videos, etc.

3. There is just one problem with free blogging platforms. You are not allowed to use your unique domain name. For example, if you want your blog address to be called as fairlove.com then Blogger.com will change it to fairlove.blogspot.com and WordPress.com will change it to fairlove.wordpress.com.

4. Buying a unique domain name and extension adds a professional attitude to your blog. Hence your blog will get better exposure than other blogs, which are hosted and managed by free blogging platforms.

5. You should also buy a suitable hosting service. In simple words, hosting is just storing your data on a hard disk. It is practical to assume that you will not continue to work on your computer 24 hrs, hence if you host your blog on your server i.e. your computer then whenever your computer shuts down, then your visitors will not be able to access your blog. Currently there are several hosting services which are quite affordable, dependable and reliable.

6. Hostgator.com is on the top because it offers monthly plan for new bloggers who can’t pay for 6 months in advance and also for those who want to just try a hosting service for one month. It is not the cheapest, but when it comes to trial and satisfaction then Hostgator.com wins the bet.

7. Now that you’ve bought a domain name from, say namecheap.com and hosted an account with Hostgator.com, transferred your name servers addresses from your hosting service to your domain name service so that both of them are connected (this means that now if someone types your domain name in the address bar, then they will be able to access your data from your hosting service), you can successfully proceed to the next step.

8. Next step is to choose a blogging software which makes your work a whole lot easier or else blogging would become just as buggy as creating a website. Everyone out there recommends WordPress software for a blog because it is actually the best blogging software which is regularly updated and enhanced to make our blogging more fun.

9. WordPress software is free to download and is available on www.wordpress.org (not worpress.com that is a free blogging platform). Latest version is always shown on the front page so that you don’t have to mess around.

10. Now your job is to download a FTP Client software which can successfully install wordpress on your hosting service so that you can blog peacefully. Trust me, it is fairly easy than you can ever imagine. Filezilla FTP client is nice software to transfer themes, plug-ins, pictures, videos, etc.

11. When your blog is successfully setup, you’ve gotten just one chore to accomplish. That’s obviously clicking on New Post button and start sharing your stories, life style, stuff and anything you wish to share.

12. You don’t have to worry about updating your blog in a way that your latest content is on the top. Because that’s the most interesting feature of a blog, your latest post will be on the top automatically.

13. You can always add new themes, extra features using plug-ins, etc. and you don’t have to learn some boring coding or anything. All you need to do is upload the files via FTP client and wordpress software will do the rest for you.

14. So just keep posting friends and enjoy blogging.

Please feel free to comment and share your own views on blogging. I’ll be glad to help you out with anything under my ability.
