Money Making Online

Do you have a website with a decent traffic? Well, you could be making some extra money by monetizing your web.

You could be selling some text links.

Nowadays, a good ranking in the search engines with the appropriate terms (or keywords) is gold mine, because people looking for those keywords are truly interested in your product, service or content. And if your website is in the first places, you will have an excellent flow of potential customers that will be visiting your pages.

Google is the major search engine in the market now. And Google have its own algorithms in order to rank the websites for a term or keyword. Even Google have its own scale to measure the importance of each website: this scale is the PageRank. Pagerank is a scale (from 0 to 10) to measure the quantity and quality of links coming to a website from other website (quality depends on the relative importance of the website linking into a specific market). Anyway, the Pagerank is one only of the factors in order to rank well. Many sites with Pagerank 3 could rank higher than a website with Pagerank 6 in a specific field and keywords. The content, the structure, the on-page optimization, the popularity in social bookmarking sites among others are important factors, too. The Google’s objective is this: Google want to show the most relevant results for its users, and that depends clearly of the quality of the content. If your content is nice and useful, you have many points, but that is not enough. Good links is a great help to your site. It is definitive: you need good links to your site from other sites in order to rank well.

Note: when you are putting a link to your site from another website (known as backward links), you should use keywords in the link text (or anchor text). Keywords are words that you must put in your links and in your content, so the search engines can relate your site with those keywords when people write these words in them looking for information or products.

Then, now that we know links are important, we must learn how to get good links in order to improve the pagerank and the rankings.

“Text Link Ads” is a company that allow us to buy some good links from other sites into our market field. You can search links by category or keywords and you can see several websites selling links with different options (sites with different pagerank, traffic, prices, etc). You should buy links from sites related with your topic or market field. If your site talks about money, you should not buy links from a site talking about sports. On the other hand, buying links from sites with high pagerank (5,6,7…) is better. And if the site is a blog, and your links will be put across all the site, it is better, because usually the blogs are updated weekly or even daily and each post in the blog is another link for your site (each week you could have more links without much effort). Some websites will put your link in one page, only. Other sites will put your link in many pages or even in every page on the website. You can know this by checking the details about each site.

Ok, “Text Link Ads” is an excellent tool. But, there is something else. You could be making money from your site in a passive way.

If your site have a decent traffic, you could sell links for other websites in your specific market. “Text Link Ads” manages these links. You only must copy and paste a code into your HTML pages. People will find your website in the search results and you can approve or reject each website wanting to buy links in your site. You will be notified when somebody want to buy a link in your site.

For example, you can sell 8 or 10 links, and the price depend of your site. If your site have a good traffic and have good pagerank (for example 5) you could sell links by $40 - $80 each one. So, we are talking about to have $320 to $800 extra each month. However, you must pay to “Text Link Ads” a commission of 50%, but even you will be making $160 to $400 in extra money each month. They can send a check for you every month or they can send you the money by your Paypal account, if you have one.

I don’t know if you agree with me, but I think that $160 to $400 in extra money each month without much effort (passive income) is a good thing. You could pay for your hosting service or server expenses by using that money, for example.

No doubt, investments in stock market is an exciting activity and one of the most efficient ways to obtain gains and profitability, although it is very risky without the necessary knowledge.

Basically, the Stock Market is an institution to connect investors and companies that want to open its capital to public offer. It is the market where the stocks of the company are bought and sold.

An stock is the share in which the capital of the company is divided. Although, if you continue reading about the topic, you will see deeper these concepts, we can say this: the “Nominal Value” of a stock is the capital of the company divided by the number of stocks. The “Exchange value” is the value that the investors are willing to pay according to the expectation existing about the evolution of the company.

So, companies needing money to get its objectives go to the stock market and sell financial assets. On the other hand, savers and investors decide to invest in stocks of these companies by the stock market in order to get profitability of their money surpluses.

We think that there is a good opportunity in the NASDAQ market buying a cheap stock with big potential: Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVID)

We will track the stock performance in the next days. But we think this is the moment to buy *

Although reported revenues of $239.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006 compared to $245.0 million for the same period in 2005, a strong demand around the world (Europe, for example) for the digital audio & video, makes us think this company will have a big appraisement in the value of its stock this year.

This is the summary for this company:

Avid Technology, Inc.
http://www.avid.com/

Avid Technology, Inc. (Avid) develops, markets, sells and supports a range of software and hardware for digital media production, management and distribution. Digital media are video, audio or graphic elements in which the image, sound or picture is recorded and stored in digital values, as opposed to analog or tape-based signals. Avid’s products are used worldwide in production and post-production facilities; film studios; network, affiliate, independent and cable television stations; recording studios; advertising agencies; government and educational institutions; corporate communication departments, and game developers and Internet professionals. The Company’s business is organized and operated in three reportable segments: Professional Film, Video and Broadcast; Audio, and Consumer Video. In August 2006, Avid acquired Sibelius Software Ltd. (More from Finance Google)

Businesswire.com publish:

“As we look back at our performance in Q4, and the full year of 2006, it’s clear that our results were mixed. While our big deal backlog continued to build each quarter throughout the year, including Q4, bringing us to record levels, recognizing revenue out of this backlog continued to be unpredictable. This led to a shortfall in our video business for the fourth quarter,” said David Krall, Avid’s president and chief executive officer. “Our audio business recovered nicely from the slowdown in demand that we saw in Q3 for Digidesign’s Pro Tools|HD® systems, allowing a strong finish for the year. In consumer, we had lower than expected results for the year as the business was slow to recover from the product quality problems with the Studio 10 software. We took an impairment charge in the fourth quarter to reflect the decline in the fair value of the consumer business unit. Nevertheless, we believe that the product quality problems are now behind us, and are pleased that we achieved higher-than expected consumer revenues in Q4 based on strong demand in Europe. We have taken a number of steps to position all of our businesses more favorably for the coming year, including a cost restructuring in our consumer business which took place in Q4. Graham Sharp, our new general manager for our video division, has already implemented a number of changes that are intended to improve the segment’s operations. However, we do not expect the full benefits of these efforts to be realized immediately.”

Businessweek.com publish:

“The company said revenue from its video business fell short of expectations, but that the audio business recovered from a third-quarter slowdown.”

Marketwatch.com publish:

“Fourth-quarter 2006 results include a noncash charge of $53 million for the impairment of goodwill associated with the acquisition of Pinnacle Systems in August 2005. Excluding items, Avid earned 54 cents a share.”

Nancy Gondo published a technical commentary about Spotting The Buy Point, and put Avid Technology as an example for her. We don’t agree totally with her, but it is good that you see several points of view.

Ok, for us this is a great opportunity. We will see. Current price in the moment (February 03) is $ 34,99
