A mainstay in Online Advertising for years is AdBrite. AdBrite is an Online Advertising Network.

AdBrite, known as “The Internet’s Ad Marketplace,” connects Advertisers with Site Owners, to generate Traffic and Ad Revenues. The Adbrite system allows advertisers to target keywords and choose specific sites to advertise on.

AdBrite has a sophisticates “Intelligent” ad serving platform which gives advertisers a number of ways to setup highly targeted ad campaigns.

Adbrite determines demographic data for visitors to network publishers via a cookie and reverse IP lookup. They grab U.S. census data based on the zip code of the visitor, which gives them data on ethnicity and income level.

Adbrite also looks at Comscore data for each site that user visits, which gives them reasonably good age and gender data. Once a user visits enough sites, Adbrite has a very good idea of the age, gender, ethnicity and income level of that particular user. Advertisers can then choose to target their ads to certain users.

Adbrite claims they have 491 million impressions a day available on 72,188 sites in the network. The AdBrite Network boasts some well known high traffic sites, including:

* Ebay
* Lycos
* Digg
* Yahoo
* Pure Volume
* Womens Day
* CMT
* VH1
* and 1,000′s more

Can you generate Traffic from AdBrite, Yes! But, it’s up to you to convert it. A common theme among users is The are getting plenty of traffic, but not many conversions.

I ran across this short tutorial from Joe LeKostaj of www.escapejobhell.com

Adbrite is a finicky beast. Here’s the method I use:

-find an offer with *good* banner creatives and a great landing page
-pick a couple broad demographics that might like the offer
-target all the preferred sites in that demo
-set a fairly low CPM (less than 50 cents)
-make sure you have a method to track which site converts (your aff mgr can place a pixel for you)
-set it to $10/day
-let it go for 3-4 days
-go in and look at your stats
-calculate your ROI for each site/creative/placement
-pause the unprofitable ones
-crank up the budget

Also, if you find a site that really converts well, contact the owner about private advertising. Most of them are running ad rotators anyway. It’s more profitable for them to eliminate adbrite as the middleman anyway.
Some good advise there, thanks Joe!

So can you Make Money Online using AdBright. Like Pay Per Click or any other Internet Marketing Strategy, Adbrite will get you Traffic, then it’s up to you to convert that Traffic to Dollars.

I will run a campaign on AdBright and get back to you with the results. This might be a good one to test my Tattoo Design Affiliate Marketing site (TattooSmart).

Here is Part 1 of a 2 Part Introductory Course On Blogging

The easiest way to get a web site up and running these days is with a Blog. Whatever your Internet Marketing Strategy is a Blog is the best place to start.

When Blogging first hit the web, it came on with a bang.  Now, Blogging is one of the most popular formats for web sites and for communication on the web.  Before Blogs, web surfers would simply browse through sites with preformatted text on them.  There was very little chance for a surfer to comment on a site or to offer their opinion on anything. If a web surfer wanted to voice their opinion via the web, they had to
start their own web site.

Starting a web site works for some surfers, but it is too complicated for most.  In addition, starting a web site usually takes a small investment, which is something not everyone has to spend.

People today can find Blog sites that offer blog space for much less than a typical web site hosting.  Many sites will offer blogs space for free like Blogger.com and WordPress.org

When you begin a Blog, you will notice that they are all laid out basically the same way.  Some experts will call their layout the last-in-first style.  This is a very tricky name that simply notes that the last thing the person, or Blogger, wrote will show up at the top of the Blog.  Most Blogging software allows for this
automatically.

When you sign up at a blogging site and get your own blog space, you will likely see that after you finish typing your post and submit it, the blogging software will automatically put your last entry at the top of your Blog.  This keeps your readers current without forcing them to scroll through many posts.

I would highly recommend you set your Blog up on your own web site. WordPress is the software I recommend. There are a lot of reasons why, but trust me WordPress is the one you want.

Jefferson Graham a reporter from of USA Today dropped by the Googleplex to talk to Google Search Expert Matt Cutts about SEO Tips For Business Owners who want to run their business, not live and breathe search 24 hours a day. What resulted was an article about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) that that any Small Business (mom/pop shop) could use.

Here is Graham’s Article:

By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
You have a website and can’t figure out why it’s not showing up at the top of Google’s search rankings. You go to Google.com for some guidance but get lost trying to find answers.

Certainly, achieving visibility in Google’s search rankings can be a mystery. To help solve the riddle, USA TODAY sat down with Google’s Matt Cutts, an engineer and active blogger, who has five easy tips on how to “optimize” your site so Google (GOOG) and the rest of the world can find it.

TALKING TECH: Google’s Matt Cutts discusses how to improve your site’s search ranking

More and more businesses are turning to the Web to find customers: $5.8 billion was spent on advertising in the first quarter alone, up 18.2% from the prior year, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau. Google’s share of Internet searches continues to rise as well — to a record 61.8% in May, according to measurement service ComScore Media Metrix.

If you haven’t “optimized” your site, here’s how:

1. Spotlight your search term on the page.

“Think about what people are going to type in to try and find you,” Cutts says. He tells of meeting a chiropractor from San Diego who complained that his site couldn’t be found easily using Google search. The words “San Diego chiropractor” were listed nowhere on his site. “You have to make sure the keywords are on the page,” Cutts says. If you’re a San Diego doctor, Des Moines architect or Portland ad agency, best to let people know so immediately, at the top of your page.

2. Fill in your “tags.”

When creating websites, Internet coding language includes two key tags: title and description. Even if you don’t know code, which is used to create pages, software programs such as Adobe’s Dreamweaver have tools that let you fill them in in plain English (rather than “<title>San Diego Chiropractor</title”). Tags are crucial, Cutts says, because what’s shown in search results most often are the title and description tags.

If Cutts’ chiropractor had properly tagged his Web page, a search would have returned something like this: “San Diego chiropractor. Local doctor serves San Diego community.”

There’s also a third tag, to add keywords, or search terms, but Cutts says Google doesn’t put much weight in its rankings on that one.

3. Get other sites to “link” back to you.

Google says it looks at more than 100 pieces of data to determine a site’s ranking. But links are where it’s at, once your search terms are clearly visible on your site and the title and description tags correctly marked.

In a nutshell: Google ranks sites based on popularity. If authoritative sites link to you, you must be good, and therefore you get to the top of the list. If you can’t get top sites such as USATODAY.com or The New York Times to link to you, try your friends. And what if they don’t have a site? They probably do. Read on.

4. Create a blog and post often.

Cutts says blogging is a great way to add links and start a conversation with customers and friends. It will cost you only time: Google’s Blogger, WordPress and others offer free blogging tools. With a blog, you can link back to your site and offer links to others. It’s also a great way to start building content, Cutts says.

5. Register for free tools.

Google’s google.com/webmaster offers freebies to help get your site found. You can upload a text-based site map, which shows Google the pages of your site (create it at www.xml-sitemaps.com). Once that’s done, you’ll be registered with Google, where you can learn vital statistics — including who is linking to your site and how often Google “crawls” your site for updates.

Google’s Local Business center (google.com/local/add) is the place for business owners to submit a site so it shows up in local searches, with a map attached. Savvy consumers who use Google for searches know that the first 10 non-advertising results often are from Google Maps, so if you have a business and haven’t submitted it, you’re losing out on potential customers.

6. Don’t overdo it

When weaving keywords into a main page, Cutts says, some zealous Web publishers will use the term over and over again. That’s called “keyword stuffing.” It’s a big Google no-no that can have your site removed from the index.

“After you’ve said it two or three times, Google has a pretty good idea — ‘OK, this page has something to do with this keyword,’ ” he says. “Just think about the two or three phrases you want to be known for and weave that in naturally.”

For blogger newbies, Cutts knows that writing (for example, posting new material) doesn’t always come easy. He suggests finding ideas by visiting social news sites such as Digg and StumbleUpon, to see what people are saying about your particular topic.

Aside from that, Cutts says, new material falls into the common-sense category: It’s all about your business. “If I’m a plumber in Iowa, I may want to write about some of the strange things that happen to me on the job, or the five most common ways to fix a toilet,” he says. “That kind of content can get really popular, and it’s a great way to get links.” Folks will post your piece on one of the social media sites. And with links comes higher Google Rankings.

Finally, Cutts says, there is one big misconception about getting Google visibility that he wants to clear up: In order to be found at the top of Google’s rankings, you do not also have to advertise.

“One thing doesn’t have to do with the other,” he says.
