Get Paid to Digg
One of the greatest ways to drive enormous amounts of traffic to your website is to achieve the holy grail that is the homepage of Digg. According to Alexa, Digg is the 125th most visited website in the world and having your website/article promoted on their homepage has caused problems for some website owners due to the shear amount of traffic that is generated.
A system called Subvert & Profit was created as a way to allow people to pay others to promote their websites in both the Digg and StumbleUpon systems. I signed up as a ‘Social User’ and have been promoting other peoples Digg stories in return for a little bit of cash.
The current prices are shown on this page. The main figure I’m interested in is the payouts: currently set at $0.75USD for each vote you make and a minimum cashout value of $10USD via AlertPay. I actually reached the payout level this weekend and received payment of $10.50USD via AlertPay this morning. Sadly AlertPay have charged a $0.51 transaction fee, which leaves me with $9.99.
If you would like to get paid to Digg or Stumble other peoples websites, then sign up with Subvert & Profit today.
1000 Entrecard Credits Winner
When I first wrote the post about the contest to win 1000 Entrecard credits I thought that there maybe up to ten entrants competing for the prize. I was told that maybe I hadn’t let the competition run for long enough, fair enough.
Two people in total mentioned the contest, yet only one of them followed the rules.
Congratulations to Inquisitor Goody of The Captians Blogg, a Warhammer blog that has been displayed in my blogroll for quite a long time. The 1000 Credits will be sent across right away.
I also have to say thanks to ContestHub for posting about the contest but, as the rules weren’t followed correctly, the post was inelligable for a prize.
1000 Free Entrecard Credits
This is going to be a very short post, I randomly had an urge to give away a bunch of Entrecard credits today. All you have to do is post a link to “http://www.darrensingleton.com” using one of the following keywords:
- increase blog traffic
- more blog traffic
- traffic for your blog
You are entered when I am notified of your link either via a trackback or post your URL in the comments section of THIS post. I will stop accepting new entries this Friday (15th) at midnight and will announce the winner on Saturday. The winner will be selected at random from all entries. Each person is limited to just one entry only.
Do-Follow Forums
As I have mentioned previously, this blog is classed as do-follow. This means that I allow people to comment on my posts and in return I encourage the search engines to visit their websites. I believe that by taking the time to read my comments and post their experiences, the people who are commenting are improving this blog and they should be rewarded for their time. Do-Follow is my way of rewarding them and if you scroll to the blogs footer, you will see that I have also added a Top-Commentors section where they are being promoted even further.
One of these commentors has put together a list of Do-Follow Forums. As opposed to commenting away on blogs, you could join one (or more) of these forums and it will have the same affect - allowing search engines to visit any links you post.
If you do join forums, join ones that you are interested in - so that you can contribute worthwhile information for the other users. You could add a link or two to your signature (some forums have their own rules regarding this) and you may also provide links to your own website/s where they are relevant.
Bloggerwave Payments
Not long ago I signed up to BloggerWave, a great way for bloggers to make money by reviewing other peoples products. Upon signing up there were three opportunities instantly available to me.
I reviewed one of the products on this very blog, and one of them on my product review blog and I received payment VERY quickly. Unlike other pay-to-blog websites, you get paid for each review individually so you aren’t waiting for your account balance to grow before getting any of your money.
The payout was via PayPal and came through approximatly two weeks after making each post. I’m very impressed with the service and I am currently awaiting more opportunities to be made available to me. I would highly recommend BloggerWave to anybody who is looking to earn money blogging.
