What is money?
Money is any token or other object that functions as a medium of exchange that is socially and legally accepted in payment for goods and services and in settlement of debts. Money also serves as a standard of value for measuring the relative worth of different goods and services and as a store of value. Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment.

Saturday, January 12th, 2008 | AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Today I was lucky because owner of TNX contact me via email to test out their system. Well I know most blogger already know about TNX or heard about them but to be contact directly by the owner such as honors for me. So I gladly to try out their system to see how they work differently from competitor.

The owner of TNX already shows that he really serious about the business. If not, he will not contact me and others small blogger like me to try TNX system. Bravo to the owner.

OK back to the point. I go to TNX and register my self. The register form is quite simple. Just fill in your desire username, password, full name, email address and walla, you ready to go.

You can login after that and wow their member page in good and full with right information. Even newbies cannot get lost after register with TNX. I gurantee!!!

What I like about TNX is how they work. They not use traditional system like usual text link company use, selling and buy text link using direct/real money. TNX using point system, they call TNX-point. You add TNX code to your site and collect TNX-point. After your TNX-point reach meet minimum requirement, you can sell your TNX-point or use it to buy link from other site in TNX network. That damns good system.

And another damn good news is you can sell your TNX-point to other TNX member at priced you decided. If you lazy like me, just sell the TNX-point to TNX itself. The priced set by TNX is not fixed. At this time I write this article, the price is USD 0.73 per 1000 points.

One tip to increase your TNX-point is put your TNX code in your single page also. Not just in sidebar but on every page, maybe after the post. This will boost your TNX-point and this means money to you. Whoa…. again as publisher, you can choose your advertiser. Reject any link that you hate.

If you only interested buying link not to be publisher, then you may buy TNX-point from TNX itself or others TNX members. But you need to register first. Just click banner below to register ad start to boost your SERP ranking.

Sell links on every page of your site to thousands of advertisers!

As an advertiser, TNX offer a free tool that you can use to make your paid link natural for Google. You can try it out under Advertise menu in your TNX account. Click “Created Campaign” and after that click “Advanced mode”. Easy huh?

TNX also offer referral program to members. You will get 13.3% of TNX-point that are generated by your referral website. Also you will get 5% of all payment, made by referrer advertiser. More info about partner program you can visit http://www.tnx.net/partner.php.

So today I want to share some basic adsense optimization that I use. Maybe some of you already know it but hey…nothing to lose to read it again. After all it’s free.

The first step that you need to take care is choosing the right color for your adsense. Adsense expert said, in order to increase the click, you must blend the ads until people will see it as not the ads but the part of your content.

So, how to make the ads not look like the ads? Hehehe…

The answers are choosing the right color. See two example below. This sample has been taken from two different blog that using Blogmas service. Now ask yourself, which ads that don’t look like ads? Blog 1 or Blog 2?

Change Background and Border Color

First, to make your ads don’t look like ads; change your adsense background and border to match your blog theme background. How?

Ok, if you are using free blog from blogmas.com, then login to your account and go to Manage –> Ads. When you create new ads, just change the background and border to match your blog theme. See picture below.

Change Title Color

Secondly, you need to change your title color to match your blog post title or your blog link.

Example, in moneyblogger.net, my post title color is lite blue which is the color code is #0066cc. So I change my adsense title to #0066cc to match my blog post title. See screenshot below.

Blogmas user can change it under menu called Manage –> Ads. See picture below.

Google Adsense - Make Money Online from Blogging

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007 | AddThis Social Bookmark Button

This post is a part of Make Money Online from Blogging course.

I assume you already have a blog, already have 7 or more post in your blog. So we will continue this course and this tutorial will show you the basic thing you need to knows about google adsense.

AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text, image and, more recently, video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-impressions basis. Google is also currently beta-testing a cost-per-action based service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense

Erm…hard to understand? Ok, see image below to more understanding what the hell is adsense.
adsense example

Ah..ha…looking familiar right? Of course you do because if you read moneyblogger.net, you will see this type of ads up there, below the post title and also below the post. More sample of ads, click here.

Below is how adsense works:

  1. Register
  2. Login to your adsense account and get the code
  3. Insert the code to your blog/site
  4. Promote your blog/adsense
  5. When your visitor clicks the ads, you get the money. The earning depends on advertiser bid.

Where Google get the money to pay adsense publisher? Google get the money from advertiser that joined adword program. This adword program special for advertiser who want to advertise their site or product.

Why I choose Adsense:

  1. Owned by big company, Google. Go to hell for those who don’t know about Google.
  2. Contextual ads. The ads appear in your blog/site is related to your blog/site content. If your site about golf, you will get ads about gold. Your visitor will love to click this type of ads.
  3. You can choose to display text ads, images ads or both.
  4. Easy to implement and the ads can be part of your content.
  5. Variety of advertiser.

The only adsense disadvantage is you must accumulate USD 100 for qualified to get payment@check from them.

Next tutorial, I will show how to implement adsense to your blog if you using blogmas.com free blog. So, what you waiting for?
