If you use Project Wonderful, if you have credits in your account you can place up to 200 free short-term ads on sites that don't have other ads. If someone bids on those sites your ad will be removed for a paying customer. Their network focuses on comics though, so from experience I can say it...
I've seen sites that don't work on mobiles because the product they are providing does not work on mobiles, so they aren't really interested in the mobile market. Others just don't have the funds to update, or are happy with sites that work through browsers on the phones like Opera instead of...
There are animation programs available that you can use to make videos with stick figures or a premade library that are really fast and easy. Could you try one of them? I did but I'm a coder, not a graphic artist so they didn't look good.
After parking domains for six months and getting very little, last month I unparked two of my domains and stuck pages with Google Adsense and Amazon Affiliates up. I've already made the same revenue as I did in those six months, partly because I don't have to give the domain parking company a...
I'd say probably when you don't think you can take it any further, whether that's from lack of cash, time, or interest. You could sell it quickly if you need money, but that would mean not getting the best price for it.
I'd always check what was at the domain before it was parked. Some sites have a history you don't want to get involved with. Archive.org is really useful for that.
There are a lot of laws about emailing. The best known is the US Can-Spam act, and with so many customers on US email providers on US servers it's useful to know it. Mailchimp has a handy index of the various international laws if you go to their guidelines and scroll down to "International...
Copyright mainly. An author and Publication date embedded in the meta tag can help prove an article's age and authorship, and the link tag rel-canonical can stop website owners having their search traffic dropped for duplication if they have duplicate content on a page, or if they are using...
Once you have a niche, what would work better for marketing? Having just one site that you put all your effort into to get lots of traffic, or several smaller optimised sites that can be cross-linked to give you a boost in search results, and transfer a customer to your other sites for ad views...
I've used both. Blogger's faster to update, but Wordpress gives you more options. I prefered the old version of blogger, but I'm not a fan of the new editing interface. It's hard to read.
There area huge number of sites now that only do their tutorials as videos. I often find them really hard to follow, and I can't always read any instructions they've put on the screen. I like text instructions since I can follow them line by line. As a site owner I like them because each extra...
I tried videos because everyone was doing it but it has such an overhead: time, writing the thing, trying to speak on it, and then trying to put a video together, because I really don't like cameras. I don't think it is something everyone can do.
It may be an effective plugin but $29.99 a month is more revenue than some small sites make. If you've got lots of wordpress sites, that's going to get expensive.
I use Wordfence, if Wordpress is live, but I also use Wordpress flatfiles for sites I don't update often. Generate the site using...
If you can do a niche of linked mini sites, like homepages for junior cricket clubs or flower arrangers, then it can be worth it even nowadays because you have targeted traffic and you know what they will buy. If you're looking at setting up just free general blogs, that market's pretty much...
Is it worth coding and releasing an App to go with your website to drive traffic? I did consider it, but even with the AppMakers out there it looks like a lot of work, and the custom builders are not cheap.
I suspect they are meaning keyword advertising. Work out your competitor's most effective keywords for advertising and searches and you can get traffic that would otherwise target them. It's not stealing, it's legal, and it still costs you money to implement it.
If you're using a free theme, then you can normally use it anywhere.
If you bought it then it depends on the licence. Most licences allow you to use it on multiple sites or one site at a time, but some lock to a domain. Try contacting the person you bought it from and asking if it's not clear.
For now I've stuck a single page website up with an article and some ads to get revenue and listed it for sale on Sedo. Their parking wasn't great, but they are really easy to set up domain auctions on. Flippa was a bit too involved and wanted all kinds of personal data to list it.
Some of the larger sites I've seen have popups that trigger and hide content if they detect an adblocker. I don't like doing that because it loses traffic, so I coded integral ads that get round the blockers, but I've also seen sites that replace the ads with links to their patreon or flat...
Project Wonderful. It gives users two hundred free ads a day as part of the network, and free traffic is good traffic. It just takes time to set them up.
