If you are searching for ways to make money online you will undoubtedly come across countless money making "systems" on the Internet. These ebooks or programs all promise to make you more money than you probably think is possible. The word "system" is used a lot because that almost makes it sound like a machine that does the work for you while you sit back and reap the rewards. A system might be a set of instructions that anyone can follow and replicate over and over to make good money. This sounds very enticing to the uninitiated searcher of information.
Everyone hunting for money making ideas would love to find a real "system" to generate cash online. We are all looking for the easy way out and that is why lotteries are so popular across the world. It is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is some secret out there that the rest of the world knows about that we don't that could change our lives. This is the mindset that Internet marketers prey upon.
Unfortunately, the only system that really works is plain old hard work along with an understanding of some basic online principles. You will find that in most cases, those that succeed online have not done so by accident. For instance, this blog ranks #1 for the Google search term "make money online" which is searched for more than a fair amount of times everyday. That search term is widely sought after among Internet marketers and it is by no fluke that this blog is on top. Alan did not get to the top by mistake or by some stroke of luck but by hard work. A prolonged solid linking campaign along with frequent posting has proven to pay off for him along with patience and perseverance. It did not happen overnight and your path to online success will not happen right away either.
No matter how many times people are warned about online scams and systems that don't deliver, they will undoubtedly continue to be fooled by Internet marketers who are masters of enticing advertising that sounds too good to pass up. If you are one of those that just has to buy the next money making ebook or system, I suggest two things. First, make sure it has a money back guarantee which you can take advantage of if you need to. Second, always click out of the online ad once to see if a discount coupon comes up. Many online money making ebooks and programs will give you a discount of $10.00 up to one half off if they think you are leaving without purchasing. So if you must have that ebook, at least try to get it for a discounted amount if you can.

MoneyMakerInfo's Traffic Went up 40%
This blog is getting more targeted traffic from Google. My SiteMeter traffic counter shows that there is about 40% increase in Google traffic for the past four days. The unique visitors of MoneyMakerInfo has moved up to 1,420 daily for the past four days compared to the 1,000 daily unique visitors I used to get previously.
However, I haven't able to monetize these additional traffic effectively. My AdSense income hasn't grown much. I'm thinking how I can turn these targeted traffic into more revenue.

You can convert the traffic into AdSense income or turn them into lead or opt-in subscribers so that you can promote your affiliate programs effectively.
You will also get two permanent anchor text links to a similar website. MoneyMakerInfo is currently ranking no.1 for the keyword 'make money online', 'make money' and top 3 rankings for many other related keywords in Google.com. Your permanent anchor text links in this blog will help increase your search engine positions.
More details about how to submit guest post to MoneyMakerInfo can be found here.
For advertisers, I believe everyone has enjoyed a satisfying amount of traffic especially for the last few days. Hope that these traffic has benefited your business.

Make Money Online by Buying and Selling Domain Names
Guest Post by The Old VIC
There are many ways you can make money online, one way which you may not have considered, but where big money is possible, is by buying and selling domain names.
The idea is simple, you buy a domain name e.g. ZitBusters.com, you list it for sale, at the industry auction sites such as Sedo or Afternic (or possibly even eBay) someone offers you a vast amount of money for it and you sell it. Well, that’s the idea, the reality is somewhat more prosaic.
To sell the domain names you buy, you will probably need to actively market them i.e. find the e-mail addresses of people that you think may be interested in your name and fire off an e-mail. If you’re lucky or the name you have is an obviously excellent name then you will get an answer saying something along the lines of “How much do you want for your name?”, which is when negotiations begin.
So what is an ‘excellent domain name’. Generally, they are dot coms (dot coms are worth around ten times as much as dot nets) and they are generic e.g. shoes.com, beer.com, business.com.
How much are generic dot coms worth? Well, the highest sale so far in 2008 is Fund.com which sold for the tidy sum of $9.9 million, Invest.com came in at number 5 and sold for $1.015 million, NewlyWeds.com on the other hand was number 53 and sold for $130,000. Sales are reported every week over at DNJournal.com where you can also see a list of the highest selling names of the year.
You may have seen the iReport channel on CNN. Where did they get the name iReport from? They bought it from self-styled ‘Domain King’ Rick Schwartz for $750,000. Rick Schwartz is one of the most successful and well-known of the domainers in the domain name industry. Other big names to look for are Kevin Ham, who has a portfolio of domain names worth around $300 million, Frank Schilling, Sahar, Rick Latona, Yun Ye who sold his portfolio of domain names for $164 million and many more. All these guys have interesting tales of how they got to be where they are by simply buying domain names, hanging on to them for a while then selling them on for a profit.
So what sort of names should you buy? As mentioned above, generic names are the best but of course most of the dot coms are already gone. So if you want a good generic name you may have to buy it off the person who already owns it. Alternatively you can wade through long lists of names that are dropping (i.e. not being renewed) at places like TDNam and Snapnames. Or of course you can try and discover a gem that no-one else has registered (very difficult as all dictionary word dot coms were registered long ago).
A word of warning, some registrars are unscrupulous and if they see you have looked for a name but not registered it, they will then ‘reserve’ it for you, by which they really mean block it and sell it to you for an inflated price. Do a search on network solution front running. Godaddy are the biggest for registering domains and they seem to be OK, but if you do find a good name that isn’t registered you would be well-advised to register it quickly as there are very few secrets on the Internet. The price for registering a dot com is around $10, but do a search for ‘discount codes’ and you will probably find coupons that will give you a 20% discount. If you use the code 199TEST with Godaddy you should be able to register a domain name for 99 cents, but it only works once. Bear in mind also that there is a 5 day ‘grace period’ and if you change your mind registrars will often cancel your domain name and refund the fee if you ask nicely.
More words of warning, steer clear of trademarked names i.e. stuff like Google, Microsoft, Armani etc... you will only cause yourself a lot of trouble.
While waiting for your names to sell you can either develop the name into a blog or a site or you can ‘park’ them . Parking them is a simple way of creating a page with some ads. on which may or may not bring in some money while you wait to sell your domain. You need to sign up with a ‘parking’ company. The easiest one to sign up with is Namedrive. In an interesting development Google has decided to set up its own parking service. This after previously criticizing parking companies as offering no value and being of no use etc.... Now that Google has set up its own parked pages it appears that parking domain names is cool. Go figure. (From what I hear though, most domainers are not recommending Google’s parked service due to the many complications involved.)
For more information about the whole domain name business you can visit forums like NamePros. To see what sort of prices domain names have been selling for check out DNSalePrice.
This is only an introduction to domain name trading but it gives the basic ideas. There are people who have made millions from domains, and in my opinion successful domainers make lots of money but it does take a lot of work, particularly if you are just starting out.

The News feed is a unique combination of recently published items by a user's friends. The News feed is the first thing every Facebook user sees when they first log in the system. Most action you or your friends take is posted on the News feed.
When you make a comment, post a picture, share links, and even when you create events they may show up on the News feed. Facebook uses an algorithm to determine what appears on your News feed and it has to do more with your interested, rather then every single post appearing on users News feed
What is the Wall?

Make Money Online by Selling a Downloadable Product
Guest post by Mike Lightner
One of the best ways to make money online is to sell a real product. Out of all the possible products, the best would be a product that can be downloaded. If this is not possible… for instance if you are into making t-shirts or auto parts, then you can still use the internet for marketing and advertising. However, the main focus of this post is on finding a type of product that can be sold on the internet and be a source of passive income. If you think like most of us… you want to achieve a lifestyle where money flows into your bank account with little to no work. There are thousands of people who have became rich by selling downloadable products online. Most of them have the entire system automated.
So now you might be wondering, what in the world are you going to sell and how?
The best products to sell online are information, e-books, audio, video, software, pictures, web, templates, newsletters and memberships.
All the above products can be downloaded except for 9. (which doesn't even need to be downloaded)
Unless you are an experienced webmaster, I recommend choosing a product from 1-8. Selling memberships is something that you will do in the case of having a very popular website.
Most of the items I listed are also relatively easy to make, except number 5, software. However, if you know anything about programing then you can make a fortune by selling your own software online.
Now that you have an idea of something that you can sell, the next step is to make a website and start getting traffic. You will be hooked the first time that you make a sale while you are asleep. Imagine going on vacation and your product still being bought 24/7 while you lay on the beach?
