Make Money

ref: http://www.johnchow.com/make-money-online-recommended-money-makers/?gclid=CNCJ8e7Yho8CFQwSegod1gai2A

The following is a list of all the ad networks and affiliate programs I use to make money online. They were chosen from this exhaustive list of 130 ad networks. I have used all the following networks at one time or another and can highly recommend them. They have proven to provide good service/support and most importantly, on time payments.

TTZ Media Network

This is my own ad network. It’s ideal for technology and shopping related sites. TTZ Media provides product based ads that are trigger by keywords. The ads show products that are based on the keywords entered and a list of online stores where the products can be purchased. A reader clicking on the product will be taken to the store offering the product for sale. Money is generated with a CPC model. A reader need only click on the banner and visit the advertiser in order for the site to make money. The reader does not have to purchase the product from the advertiser. CPC rates are based on product categories and number of clicks the affiliate can generate. Our tech/review site based affiliates realize eCPM as high as $12.

Kontera ContentLink

Kontera ContentLink allows you to make money from advertising without giving up any current advertising spots. Their technology reads your post and turns certain words into an ad. The highlighted words are double underline and an ad pops up when you hover over it. Normally Kontera requires a site have a minimum 500,000 page views per month before being accepted into the program. However, I have a partnership with Kontera that will allow smaller blogs to use their ContentLink service.

Fill out the application and enter “John Chow Kontera partnership” into the Comments field. The application is sent to my personal account representative. He will approve you based on your blog content and not your traffic level. This is a great way to use a service that is normally only available to high traffic sites.

Text Link Ads

Text Link Ads is one of my favorite ad networks. They help me make money online by selling those text links you see under “Featured Sites.” The links offer advertisers traffic and search engine benefits and readers don’t seem to mind them at all because they are not intrusive. Your link price is set by Text Link Ads and is based on Alexa, Google PageRank, number of RSS subscribers, and other factors.

Google AdSense

If you don’t know what Google AdSense is then you’ve been living under a rock. This is pretty much a must have if you want to make money from a blog. Google display simple text and image ads on your blog that are targeted to what you’re writing about. Google has been a consistent money maker for this blog.

Bidvertiser

Bidvertiser, a CPC ad network that competes with Google AdSense. It main advantage over AdSense is its low $10 payout. You only need to make $10 in order to be paid. Big publishers wouldn’t care about this but for many small blogs that are still waiting to hit that magic $100 Google payout level, getting pay at a lower level is quite attractive.

AzoogleAds

AzoogleAds is one of the largest performance-based online advertising networks in the world. They offers some of the best and highest paying affiliate deals in the industry. No matter what topic your blog covers, you can find a deal that matches your site. The payout range from $1 to over $100 per action. Affiliate marketing is one of this blog’s biggest moneymaker and AzoogleAds is the affiliate network that offers us the best payouts.

AuctionAds

AuctionAds is one big eBay affiliate. What AuctionAds does is put all their publishers into one big “collective” to go after the higher revenue share. Publishers can leverage AuctionAds’ creative delivery of eBay’s auctions and AuctionAds’ ability to achieve the higher performance incentive tiers with the aggregate volume of traffic to make more money than they could with their own eBay affiliate relationship. Right now, affiliates will get 100% of any money they make from the system. As the collective moves up the eBay revenue share tiers, AuctionAds will start to take a cut of revenues. The goal is for you to make more with AuctionAds than directly with eBay’s affiliate program, which will be the case as the network increases its volume.

Sign up for AuctionAds

ReviewMe

ReviewMe is this blog’s biggest money maker, accounting for $2,400 of the $8,545.25 March income. ReviewMe allows advertisers to buy sponsored reviews on your blog. Review prices are based on your blog’s Alexa, Technorati and estimated RSS numbers. Publishers can set their own pricing if they don’t like the price ReviewMe set. Reviews can be positive or negative. The only requirement is the post must be at least 200 words long.

Sign up for ReviewMe

FeedBurner Ad Network

FeedBurner provides CPM ads for both site and RSS feeds. The CPM rate can be get as high as $10 and publishers get 70% of the money. However, the fill rate is pretty low. If you’re looking to monetize your RSS feed, then FeedBurner is probably the best of the RSS ad networks. To join the FeedBurner Ad Network, you must first have FeedBurner power your RSS feed.

Sign up for Feedburner

AGLOCO

AGLOCO offers a toolbar that display advertising. If you run the toolbar, they will give you a share of the ad money. They also pay you if you refer other people to use the toolbar. The more people you refer, the more you can potentially make. Currently, my network has over 13,000 people in it and it’s increasing by over 100 per day. AGLOCO is a startup and unproven. However, since the cost of entry is zero, you can’t lose anything for signing up. AGLOCO is also the only network here that doesn’t require you to have a site.

Sign up for AGLOCO

DealDotCom

DealDotCom offers a two-tier affiliate program. When you refer others to DealDotCom and they get a free account, they are marked in the system as having been referred by you. Anything that they buy will nets you a 35% commission. Unlike other affiliate programs that place a time limit your your commission (like AuctionAds’ 5% for 6 months), the DealDotCom commission is forever. That’s right, forever. It doesn’t matter if they buy something tomorrow, next week, or fifty years from now - you’re going to get paid. What’s more, anyone that they refer to DealDotCom goes on your second tier. Anything people on your second tier buy nets you a 15% commission, forever.

    如何进行黄金投资


    ref:http://www.jfyl.cn/zjtz/21664.html

    当前的黄金市场价格,是由黄金现货供求关系、美元汇率、国际政局、全球通胀压力、全球油价、全球经济增长、各国央行 黄金储备增减、黄金交易商买卖等多种力量平衡的结果。个人投资者要想准确把握黄金价格的短期走势,难度是很高的。但根据国际黄金市场的经验,个人投资者可 以参照黄金与美元、黄金与石油、黄金与股市之间的互动关系,商品市场的联动关系以及黄金市场的季节性供求因素、国际基金的持仓情况等因素,对金价走势进行 相对比较简单的判断和把握。

      (一)金价与美元的互动关系。由于国际金价用美元计价,黄金价格与美元走势的互动关系非常密切,一般情况下呈现 美元涨、黄金跌和美元跌、黄金涨的逆向互动关系。在基本面、资金面和供求关系等因素均正常的情况下,黄金与美元的逆向互动关系仍是投资者判断金价走势的重 要依据。例如2005年5月国际金价自730美元/盎司回落至541美元/盎司,引发金价大跌的主要原因之一就是市场当时预计美联储会再次加息,美元会强 劲反弹,导致金价深幅调整。

      (二)金价与油价的互动关系。原油价格一直和黄金市场息息相关,其原因是黄金具有抵 御通货膨胀的功能,而国际原油价格与通胀水平密切相关,因此,黄金价格与国际原油价格具有正向互动关系。例如2005年四季度,由于卡特里娜飓风的影响, 导致国际原油价格大幅上涨,推动国际金价大幅上扬。

      (三)金价与国际商品市场的联动关系。由于中国、印度、俄罗斯、巴西"金砖四国"经 济的持续崛起,对有色金属等商品的需求持续强劲,加上国际对冲基金的投机炒作,导致有色金属、贵金属等国际商品价格自2001年起持续强劲上扬,这就是商 品市场价格联动性的体现。投资者在判断黄金价格走势时,必须密切关注国际商品市场尤其是有色金属价格的走势。

      (四)金价与股市的互动关系。国际黄金市场的发展历史表明,在通常情况下,黄金与股 市也是逆向运行的,股市行情大幅上扬时,黄金价格往往是下跌的,反之亦然。但由于我国内地股市是相对封闭的,黄金价格的涨跌与内地股市行情并没有太大的关 联度,而是与境外一些重要的股票市场(如纽约、东京、伦敦)有较强的关联度。

      (五)金价与市场季节性供求因素的关系。供求关系是市场的基础,黄金价格与国际黄金 现货市场的供求关系密切相关,黄金现货市场往往有比较强的季节性供求规律,上半年黄金现货消费相对处于淡季,近几年来金价一般在二季度左右出现底部。从三 季度开始,受节日等因素的推动,黄金消费需求会逐渐增强,到每年的春节,受亚洲国家的消费影响,现货黄金的需求会逐渐达到高峰,从而使得金价走高。

      (六)金价与国际基金持仓水平的关系。随着美国繁荣经济周期的终结,全球性货币信用 危机促使众多机构投资者寻找合适的投资品种来对冲汇率不稳定的风险。在此背景下,以原油、贵金属为代表的商品市场吸引了众多机构资金的眼球,国际对冲基金 纷纷介入黄金市场和其他商品市场。有关数据表明,全球对冲基金囤积在纽约黄金市场的资金一度高达200亿美元。可以说,近年来黄金价格的大幅上涨既是投资 背景发生深刻变化的产物,也是国际对冲基金大肆炒作的结果,投资者在判断黄金价格走势时,必须密切关注国际基金持仓水平的动态变化。

    新手如何进行黄金投资

    ref:http://www.365fund.net/huangjin/XinShouRuHeJinHangHuangJinDouZi.html

       近期黄金价格大幅调整,许多场外的投资者将此视作难得的介入机会,而随着各家银行相继推出各类黄金业务,越来越多的市民开始对"炒金"跃跃欲试。但真要一试身手,不禁又产生了这样的疑问:现在市场上究竟有多少黄金产品可以购买?要不要买?买什么?中行专家支出三招。

                  ■第一招知己知彼对号入座  

                  目前,银行提供的黄金业务大致分为两种,"实物黄金"和"纸黄金"业务。实物黄金是指实物黄金的买卖,适合有长期投资、收藏和馈赠需求的投资者。"纸 黄金"业务是指投资者在账面上买进卖出,赚取差价的投资方式。"黄金宝"属于纸黄金业务,投资者可根据"黄金宝"牌价,通过柜面、电话银行、网上银行及自 助理财终端,直接买进或卖出纸黄金了。与实金相比,纸黄金全过程不发生实金提取和交收的清算交割行为,从而避免了交易中的成色鉴定、重量检测等手续,省略 了黄金实物交割的操作过程,对于"炒金"者来说,纸黄金的交易更为简单便利,获利空间更大。

                  ■第二招货比三家运筹帷幄  

                  随着工、农、中、建四大银行相继拿到黄金执照并纷纷推出花样多变的黄金产品参与竞争,市中行有关专家建议投资者不妨货比三家,在选择产品时可以参考这样一些因素。

                  报价方式:目前已经开办黄金业务的银行在报价上一般采用两种方式:按国内金价报价和按国际金价报价。前者是参照交易所黄金价格、市场供求情况及国际黄 金市场波动情况等多种因素,再加上银行单边佣金确定买卖双边报价;而按国际金价报价,银行中间价就是国际金价折合成人民币的价格,银行在此基础上加单边佣 金形成报价。采取国际金价报价方式的优势在于,投资者能24小时全天候的在互联网或其它媒体上直接查询到国际金价及走势,获得报价信息的渠道更有保障。

                  ■第三招调整心态静观风云  

                  虽然投资纸黄金被视为投资者进入国际黄金市场的最直接途径,但投资者也不能完全无视风险的存在。由于目前开办黄金业务的银行都收取0.5元/克的单边 佣金,投资者在买卖黄金时应该计算好投资成本,只有当黄金价格上涨了1元/克时才有利润出现。投资者切忌盲目跟随市场波动频繁进出,否则不光要承担市场风 险,单黄金来回买卖的手续费也是一笔不小的开支。据业内人士分析,尽管目前黄金价格位置比较高,但利用黄金冲高回落的时机,在价位支撑点的时候介入,还是 会有获利的机会。

    理财师教你:如何进行黄金投资

    ref:http://news.taocang.com/art/gold/82692.htm


    马克思有一个著名论断:金银天然不是货币,但货币天然是金银。正是由于黄金具有商品和货币的双重属性,决定了影响金价走势的因素是多方面的。目前市场上的 黄金投资渠道主要有实物金、纸黄金、黄金保证金、黄金期货、黄金股票、黄金基金等,这里主要介绍实物金和纸黄金两种最流行的投资渠道。

      实物金的主要形式是金条,目前市场上的金条种类繁多,总的来说可分为投资型金条和收藏型金条。投资型金条以高赛尔投资型金条为代表,这种金条就是原料 金,没有任何特殊的造型和图案,其价格与国际金价直接挂钩,一般通过银行代销。收藏型金条除了黄金本身的价格外,还有产品题材、制造工艺、文化内涵等因 素,如生肖金条、奥运金条,另外还有一些特殊题材的纪念性收藏型金条等。

      由于收藏型 金条的发行常常限时、限量,并具有一定的题材和文化内涵,因此升值潜力常常是来自其艺术价值而非金条本身。而投资型金条的价格完全跟随市场走势波动,比较 适合希望利用黄金进行资产保值和对冲避险的投资者。但需要注意的是,在银行购买实物黄金需支付储藏费用和安全费用,且无利息收入,此外,实物黄金难以变 现,只能折价出售给黄金加工企业。黄金公司出售的投资金条具有较强流动性,但交易费用较高。"纸黄金"交易类似于个人外汇买卖业务,是一种由银行提供的服 务,投资者的买卖交易记录只在个人预先开立的"黄金存折账户"上体现,而不涉及实物金的提取,盈利模式即通过低买高卖,获取差价利润。与实物黄金交易相 比,纸黄金交易不存在仓储费、运输费和鉴定费等额外的交易费用,投资成本较低。

      从黄金投资入市时机来说,根据近30年来黄金走势,大约每年6月份总会遇上当年金价的低谷,在每年11月到次年2月则走向高位。在之前的专栏里我们阐 述了黄金投资对于家庭理财的意义更重要的在于资产保值、对冲风险,而不是赚取丰厚收益,从这个角度来说,个人认为投资型金条是较好的选择,目前市场上流行 的各类纪念收藏型黄金艺术品金币、金 邮票等,题材因素过多,溢价较高,或具有收藏价值,但如用以投资理财,则须保持谨慎。
