Paid-To-Click and Paid-To-Read programs are where you get paid to read emails and click on advertisements.As a stay at home mother I was pretty desperate to find a way to make some extra money online and be home with my children at the same time.So of course I signed up for several Paid-To-Read / Paid-To-Click programs and would get hundreds of emails in my inbox each day.I would click away for hours a time, thinking that I was going to make some great money. Clicks ranged between 0.25 of a cent upwards of 1 cent each.It was be a huge accomplishment for me to be able to reach a $1 payout and collect it in my Pay Pal. It is amazing how different a dollar looks when it took you several hours to earn.It took me a while to realize that I was spending several hours a day on PTC /
The number of people that stayed at my site and for how long is:
• 1 – 30 seconds 8419
• 30 seconds to 2minutes 458
• 2 minutes to 5 minutes 413
• 5 minutes to 15 minutes 792
• 15 minutes to 30 minutes 796
• 30 minutes to 1 hour 1195
• 1 hour + 936
• If you average the time that each stayed, it comes to 645 seconds. That’s not bad.
• The number of people that actually added my site to their favorites 297
That means 297 people plan to come back and visit my site and it means they may come back more than once or twice. They know, we add new content everyday. It may be new items to the store, it may be new freebies to the free page, it may be new posts in the forum, but something will change in that 24 hour period, and they want to know what it will be.
Now my numbers are extremely small for an online business, but,
What is your view of the future? Is it ultra-conservative, narrow? Or, are you always looking for ways to enlarge your thinking? Where success is concerned, people are measured by the size of their thinking. How does your online business thinking measure up?So let us see how you can go about enlarging your thinking, to see your business a huge success and making money. Here is a very basic point you should remember: Words and phrases are not how we think, rather we think in pictures and images.Each word or phrase creates a picture in your mind. If I told you a friend bought a new house, you see one picture. However, if I tell you a friend built a new fully landscaped two-story lake house, you see an entirely different picture.The point is you have to imagine big in order to accomplish big. Create positive, f

Understanding the Differences
You have just built a killer website, and now it is time to promote it. How? Where do you turn? There are several means of gaining traffic, and about a million ebooks and articles about it.
My article will focus mainly on hits and views, and how to tell the difference. It will also give you ideas where to find each, and what their purpose is, in relation to your website.
Everyone has probably heard by now, one of the ways to climb up in the engines is hits. Ok, you can get hits. Hits are easy to come by. You can join auto surfs that surf a 1:1 ratio every 5 seconds, meaning for every site you view, you get a credit, credit = hit. It means someone else is suppose to view your site. But honestly, can a person tell if they want your service or product in 5 seconds? I do not believe they can. So what is the solution? Let’s dig a little deeper.
If you just want numbers, join the fast surfs, grab a million credits, assign them all and you will get numbers. Numbers are a good thing, as far as ranking companies are concerned. These companies meaning such as Alexa, or Ranking.com which determine their rank of your website by the amount of traffic and unique visitors you have. So, give these fast surfs an hour of your day. Get your numbers up.
Ok, I have hits, what about views?
Google and other search engines would rather have quality content. They will search your entire site, crawling for links, and content. No, I do not mean put a million links on your site either. They won’t even acknowledge it as a website. Not enough, too many, it is hard to know sometimes. All you can do is study their guidelines, which by the way, seem to change on a constant basis.
I can tell you from experience, the search engines LOVE blogs and forums. My own forum is crawled several times a day, by various search engines. Why? It is ever changing content that arouses their curiosity. There is something fresh added on a regular, usually daily basis. Also, you have people from all over the internet, giving advice, lending a helping hand, adding quotes and funnies. They do a lot of the original work for you. You do not have to work day and night, trying to come up with ideas of things to write about.
Now, IF you use a blog or a forum, you are only extending your advertising for FREE! Many people now use only the two as their main source of advertising. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of them online now. Most will let you add your URL in your signature line; some will let you blatantly promote your product or service. Be sure to check the rules of each before you post though, as you do not want to be banned from using their service.
The people, who click on your link from such places as described in the last three paragraphs, are LOOKING at your site. They are potential paying customers. Did you hear that? They are POTENTIAL PAYING CUSTOMERS! Say that to your self over and over again, until you fully understand what that really means.
Think about it, these very same people came to the same place you did, to promote their own products and services. They saw your link, read your ad, whatever the case may be something has drawn them to YOUR website. Now that they are there, DO NOT let them get away! Give them a reason to want to stay, to consider buying what you offer. Make the site appealing to the eye and the product or service you offer sound as though they have to have it to survive. If you do, I promise you, they will come back time and again.
It is a proven fact that people on the average, have to see an item or service up to seven times before making a decision to invest.
You are saying to yourself, “Hmmmm, I thought we were talking about surfs earlier?” Yes we were, and I am not through with them. You can gain some quality traffic online by using manual surfs. Why? The reasoning is, if you pick and choose correctly, people will have to stare at your ad for a minimum of thirty seconds to one minute.
Depending on the size of the surfs membership, you may have 10000 people looking at your ad once a day or you may have 500 seeing it several times a day. Either way, it is NOT a bad thing! They MUST stare at your ad, the allotted amount of time in order to earn the credit it takes for their ad to be viewed. So you see, it is a winning situation for you!
Now you know how to grab quality views of your site. Last month, I had a total of 5186 unique visitors to visit my website. Remember, I said UNIQUE! These same people viewed different areas of my site and kept coming back until I had 272927 hits during the month of July. Now, let’s break it down a bit further.

So what is ebook really all about? The following report includes some fascinating information about ebook--info you can use, not just the old stuff they used to tell you.Ebooks are part of the new frontier of cyberspace. They are an entirely new medium for sharing marketing information, ideas, techniques, and expert knowledge.Each day the number of people accessing the Internet grows, causing the exposure of your ebook to increase incrementally. It's obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly.The publishing industry, I hope, does not intend to forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of history. Books in print have their own special qualities and merits, and the world would be diminished by their disappearance.Having said that, let's look at what makes ebooks so impo

The harsh reality is that most people who visit your web site for the first time won’t buy anything at all. Even if they do stick around, it usually takes a few visits or contacts for anything to happen.They need to get to know you. They need to get to know your product or service. And this can take time, especially if a large exchange of money is involved.To get them to return, you need to get those visitors to volunteer their contact information to you. Once they opt-in to your mailing list, there are dozens—even hundreds—of ways you can politely keep in touch and encourage them to return over and over again.But people aren’t that freewheeling with their personal information these days. So give them something they can use in exchange for a little of their information. And make your offer so

We've all encountered humor in advertising. TV ads showing smart dogs fetching their owners a beer. Radio spots with aliens purifying our drinking water. Print ads with famous people wearing milk mustaches. Many use dry wit. Others are just plain silly. A few are in bad taste. And some, heaven forbid, aren't even funny.Humor has its placeDoes humor really work in advertising? Is it okay to get a few laughs when talking about your product or service? Does humor sell? There are no absolutes, no easy answers. What we do know is that, as in real life, humor has its place. In advertising, that place must always be clearly defined and understood. For humor used indiscriminately can be a disaster—for your product, your image and your sales. And that's not funny.Making human contact

Now my numbers are extremely small for an online business, but, it is because I just started advertising it 3 months ago! I had the site for 2 years and just started advertising it. I was not sure what I wanted to do with it, and I did not want to advertise it until I knew there was something there to catch someone's eye. Some people can accomplish the same thing in one day, by building a quick website, but for me, it has to be just right. It is doubling all the time! I can not ask for more than that. I have a great growth rate. I do not mind if it takes a while to get the word to the masses. I have plenty of time.
There are many additional ways to achieve web traffic, and I will discuss this more in future articles.
Now, you know my story. It did not happen over night, and it is not where I want to be, but I think I have a fair start going on.
