SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain Names

I have been using the internet since I was in grade 7.  I started to use an email, using eudora light and yahoo, chatting with friends on IRC and exploring the internet with altavista, yahoo SE and the like.  It was since last year that I really got serious with my struggle to make money online. I first started with hoping to buy and sell domain names.   Buying expried domain name and hoping for a good sale for atleast 50% profit.  Then, I started to make blogs.  I did a few blogs and sites that I had to keep some and sell a few.  After a few earnings, I started to study affiliate marketing and PPC or pay per click.  Sad to say, I have not started yet with ppc since there are some crucial steps to follow and other things to consider.

.. which left me on what method I should actually focus on.

I admit, I enjoy doing all those methods.  Some are time consuming, some are just expensive with regard to operation.

Stick with What You know Best

It is said many times, that in order to be successful, you should first focus on what you know best, and afterwhich, shift to a slightly different method and test the waters before actually jumping in.  Improve strengths and consider weaknesess and threats will bring succes.  With that said, I will stick with the things I know that works and hopefully enahance my knowledge and skills then move on with the next method.

I will start off this Thursday Domain Name Reviews with the biggest sale so far this year.  The Toys.Com was sold for a whopping $5.1 million dollars.  Now that is what I call a BIG SALE.

So, how come that domain name had that big tag price attached to it.

Toys.Com

Search Engine Results Page = #5

Search Frequency on Google = 344,000,000 for toys

Alexa Rank = 173,008

Approximate Searches on google = 30.4 Million on the average and 1.8 Million last February

Very impressive is it not?  Toys R’ Us won the said auction sale, not to mention that the said Toy Store Empire is at number one spot followed by Etoystore and Walmart.  This would be a great push for the company to have both number 1 spot, and number 5.  Now who said that domain names are not profitable and on the down slope this year?

If you are with the Chitika network.  You must have received this email from them stating that from February 11,2009 until March 31st, 2009.  It says in my email message that they are enticing me to show up their ads and would double my earnings for a maximum of $50.

Here is the screen shot of the email.

Interesting is it not?

I subscribed to chitika a long time ago. I have a small web blog back then when I subscribed and turned down.  By the time they approved my account, I was with adsense already.  I am happy with adsense right now and maybe in the future, I will put some time slapping Chitika ads and see how much money I could get.
