A few days ago I asked my email list what topics they’d like me to write about. One of the top requests was on how to drive traffic to their websites. So with that in mind…

Getting Website Traffic

There are both free and paid ways of driving traffic to your sites. Of the paid ways, expenditure runs from a very modest couple of bucks to $100+ per month for subscription based services.

While free methods are fine, their big drawback is the amount of time it takes. The more sites you have, the more time you have to spend building backlinks. For the normal Joe with just a couple of hours free in the evenings to dedicate to websites, that time can be quickly eaten up by all the manual backlinking that has to be done.

That’s where the paid tools start to come in. If you want to save time , or spend less of it building backlinks, you’re going to have to put your hand in your pocket. Time is money as they say.

Have you ever been faced with the problem of having to change affiliate links on your blog? Maybe the folks looking after the affiliate program changed their link format and won’t support the old format (it happens), or maybe you’d prefer to swap a link out for a link to a better product. This isn’t a problem if you only have a couple of links that need changing, but what do you do if you have a load of affiliate links distributed across your posts? Well, there is a simple way to replace links that doesn’t require a lot of time and editing, so here’s what to do:

Changing Links Throughout a Blog:

1. Download the search & replace WordPress plugin
2. Upload the plugin to your blog and active it
3. Go the the Search & Replace option in your Settings list
4. Tick the content box
5. Put your old link (as used on your pages) into the Replace box
6. Put your replacement link in the With box
7. Click the Go button

If replacement numbers look high, it’s because replacements are also done in drafts, trash and revision posts.

The question of how much (percentage-wise) Google pays webmasters for clicks on Adsense ads displayed on their websites has always been open to speculation. Google have never revealed what that figure is and speculation among webmasters put the figure at anywhere between 10% and 50% of revenue share.

Personally, I always figured it was around the 50% mark and I think the majority of opinion put it at between 40% and 50%.

Well, it was something of a surprise then when Google recently came out and announced exactly what the revenue share percentage is. The announcement was supposedly made “in the spirit of greater transparency”.

And the percentage?
