In addition to today’s Internet Marketing Monitor coverage, we felt these stories were worth pulling out of the multitude of news items for May 30, 2007:
All 13 tips are worth a read but I wanted to point out my favorites: the intra-site linking ideas. While it’s possible to over-link a page, you can almost always find more ways to expose your content to people who end up on your page. It’s also important to key a couple of things in mind when implementing some of the ideas in this
Rejoice, Yahoo! Publisher Network users, for can now tell Yahoo! to pay your cut of ad revenue through PayPal. Previously, electronic transfer and check were the only options for getting paid. I’d say that I’d love to see Google offer the same thing. But then… we know that probably isn’t going to happen any time soon. As an incentive to use PayPal, Yahoo has lowered the minimum payment amount for PayPal users from $100 to $50.
I couldn’t agree more. In fact, I said some of the same things earlier in the month. I have to give Ask.com credit for trying something different. But they should have taken a different approach. Bottom line: folks don’t care about the algorithm… they care about the search results.
Don’t quit your day jobs just yet, folks. It is quite possible to make a living blogging. But keep a few things in mind if you’re going to attempt to blog for a living. The people who blog for a living are the exception… not the rule. Generally speaking, most bloggers don’t make enough to blog full time. Most of the 70+ million bloggers out there don’t make much of anything from blogging. But it is possible. Gray offers some good suggestions and ideas on how to get started. Also keep in mind that it’s not going to happen over night. It takes time and hard work.
I got a kick out of this one. Apparently, in a forum far, far away… a guy running AdSense on his site wants to know if he can put Google on his resume as an employer. No. I’m not kidding. He really did want to know that. What’s even funnier is the conversation going on in the thread. People are actually trying to figure out ways to include the fact that they run AdSense on their site on a resume. Seriously, folks… you’re stretching it way too far here. Besides… AdSense… hardly something that’s going to set you apart on a resume. Half of the world runs AdSense these days. In all seriousness I can see how someone might ask the original question. But the rest is just funny. That’s all she wrote for Wednesday, folks. Until we meet again tomorrow… good night!

post. First of all, links should always be relevant - whether they’re inside your own site or from another site. Second, be care adding links to your site from wikis. While it’s a great way to get some linkage coming in it also has a high rate of abuse… and wiki folks won’t be happy with you if you add irrelevant links back to your site.
