Everyone who owns blog or website can make money online by simply  displaying the BidVertiser ads on website. The program is free and BidVertiser pays you for valid clicks on the ads on your site. You simply paste an HTML code into your web pages and ads will instantly start appearing.

Advertisers will bid against each other for your ad space. To get started, all you have to do is to complete and submit the Publishers Program sign-up form. Click here to sign up. You can place as many or as few ads on each page as you would like. However, do not put too many ads on your site as this will result in driving visitors away from your site.

Earn money by directing users to sign up with Bidvertiser
Place a Referral button or a text link on your site and you will start to earn money when a user clicks on your button or link and signs as an advertiser or a publisher: When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, Bidvertiser will credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20. When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, Bidvertiser will credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40. Your earnings will be tracked in your Referral control panel, including clicks, sign-ups and conversions.

Most of us come across this option while using our favorite browser but for somewhat reason we don’t give more importance to this option and we burden ourselves by bookmarking again on the different browser by waste of time. In order to save time and work, here I mention the importing bookmark method for Mozilla Firefox & Microsoft Explorer browsers.

Switch from Microsoft Explorer to Mozilla Firefox,

  • With the Firefox browser window open, click “File”
  • In the submenu, click “Import”
  • Import wizard window will open and follow the prompts

Switch from Firefox to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer(the process is similar)

  • Click “File” and then select “Import and Export
  • An Import/Export Wizard will pop up
  • Follow the prompts.  You will have an option to import your bookmarks from a file stored on your computer or from another browser.

So I wanted them to learn about blogging and that’s why this post. And this is a guest post by Loganathan who is author of www.tamilblog.in.

Blog is a website and where you can publish or write your ideas, views, articles about anything. This will be stored in a web server as like other websites and this can be accessed by anyone in the world.

Now you have a question, how it is differs from other website.

  • content is published regularly
  • readers of the blog can comment on the post/content
  • Users can get update via RSS feeds

There are people those who have good writing skills, but they don’t have opportunity to write in media, those people can use blog as their media.

Blog is a media? Yes its a media and with help of this you can reach many people and readers, through social networks and social bookmarking you can increase the number of readers.

How much I have to spent to start a Blog?.. Its completely free, there are many sites which allows you to create blog like www.blogger.com, www.wordpress.com, www.tumblr.com. Also there you will get complete support to run a blog over there.

Do I need website development skills? No.. The above mentioned site will do all the designing and development works for you, if you want to modify it you may need some basic HTML, CSS and PHP knowledge.

Then whats up, start a blog and enjoy writing.
