Google's First Page For Free
Is It Possible??
Who else wants to be on the first page of google? Everyone who has a webpage,blog or any other internet community. How many make it to the top? .000000000001 of 1% do you want to succeed? To reach the holy grail of google's first page for free
I can say without a shadow of a doubt YES!!
Why should you listen to me? Well there are quite a few companes that tell you can get ranked by google in days. This is true but what they don't tell you that the listing only last a few days. Even worse they can get you banned! I've been in No1 spot for 16 months now-enough said !
I started marketing online back in 1999 when yahoo and msn ruled the roost. I spent countless hours reading,researching,trial and error with limited success. Back then from time to time I broke into the top 20 for a few months at a time. Which also generated a decent income-fast forward to 2003 and I began to hear rumors of a new kid on the block. It was supposed to do things differently and make changes on the web known as Google.
Plus I had to overcome another hurdle as I'd relocated to Ninety Six, SC and to my dismay found out high speed internet is not readily available which slowed my progress a bit, but it didn't stop me. it was also during this time I realized the true power of web 2.0 and blogging
Since I had been studying I had pretty much figured out how msn and yahoo worked and it was a good relationship. Google however began to shake things up and it' never been the same. Luckily I'd already established a background in seo which is always a big help. Now after a year or so of testing I find myself in the number one spot. This was one of my goals from the beginning. Now you can take 10 yrs to get here or I can help cut your time and expenses to do the same. I'm willing to share what I've learned with you.
Over the last 2 yrs I began to see steady progress and this past week I really got a big surprise. Not only am I on the first page but in No 1 spot from over 230 million sites. This was taken on May 11, 2009

Why Is Google Page 1 So Important?
This is a question I get asked all the time, and I cannot stress how important ranking on page 1 of Google for relevant keywords has become.
Search engines are providing users with better search results all the time and the more this happens the less users are searching deeper and past the first page. This is because they are finding what they need on page 1.
Additionally all the paid ads shown above and to the side of search results are taking a large amount of traffic away from pages listed past the first page. So yes it is very important to rank on page 1 of Google.
Recently a client of ours was ranking on page 2 of Google for a heavily searched and competitive keyword and it was bringing in some decent traffic. Then something happened, they jumped onto page 1 and they could not believe the change in traffic, it soared way above anything they ever expected.
So many potential clients in competitive industries come to us saying “We have to rank on page 1 of Google for a particular term” and you know what, YES THEY DO!
It is simple, whether it be a highly competitive term, or a less competitive long-tail phrase there is no doubt… you need to be ranking on page one of Google for it. this will provide you with a steady stream of targeted organic web traffic. Can find the surprise bonus on the secret link ?

the best adsense tips and tricks!
I’ve been reading a few forums and blogs about Google Adsense tips lately, and thought it would be helpful to consolidate as many as possible in one place without the comments. I’ve also thrown in a few tips of my own. We start out with some of the basic general stuff and move to the more specific topics later on.
Build an Empire?
When you’re deciding to become a website publisher you will fall into one of two broad categories:
* Publish 100 websites that each earn $1 a day profit
* Publish 1 website that earns $100 a day profit
The reality of it is, most people end up somewhere in between. Having 100 websites leaves you with maintenance, management and content issues. Having one website leaves you open to all sort of fluctuations (search engines algorithm’s, market trends, etc). You can adapt your plan on the way, but you’ll have an easier time if you start out going in the direction of where you want to end up.
General or Niche
You can build your website around general topics or niche ones. Generally speaking niche websites work better with adsense. First off the ad targeting is much better. Secondly as you have a narrow focus your writing naturally becomes more expert in nature. Hopefully this makes you more authority in your field.
If this is your first try at building an adsense website, make it about something you enjoy. It will make the process much easier and less painful to accomplish. You should however make sure that your topic has enough of an ad inventory and the payout is at a level you are comfortable with. You may love medieval folk dancing, but the pool of advertisers for that subject is very small (in fact it’s currently zero).
Once you’ve gotten the hang of how Adsense works on a website, you are going to want to dabble in some high paying keywords, you may even be tempted to buy a high paying keyword list. This does come with some dangers. First off the level of fraud is much higher on the big money terms. Secondly there is a distortion of the supply and demand relationship for these terms. Everyone wants ads on their website that make $35 or more a click, however the number of advertisers who are willing to pay that much is pretty limited. Additionally the competition for that traffic is going to be stiff. So, don’t try to run with the big dogs if you can’t keep up. If you have to ask if you’re a big dog, then chances are, you’re not. I have used a high dollar keywords report from cashkeywords.com and was pleased with my results (see cash keywords free offer recap).
New Sites, Files and Maintenance
When you’re building a new site don’t put adsense on it until it’s finished. In fact I’d go even farther and say don’t put adsense on it until you have built inbound links and started getting traffic. If you put up a website with “lorem ipsum” dummy or placeholder text, your adsense ads will almost certainly be off topic. This is often true for new files on existing websites, especially if the topic is new or different. It may take days or weeks for google’s media bot to come back to your page and get the ads properly targeted. TIP: If you start getting lots of traffic from a variety of IP’s you will speed this process up dramatically.
I like to build my sites using include files. I put the header, footer and navigation in common files. It makes it much easier to maintain and manage. I also like to put my adsense code in include files. If I want/need to change my adsense code, it’s only one file I have to work with. TIP: I also use programming to turn the adsense on or off. I can change one global variable to true or false and my adsense ads will appear or disappear.
Managing URL’s and channels
Adsense channels is one area where it’s really easy to go overboard with stats. You can set up URL channels to compare how one website is doing to another. You can also set up sub channels for each URL. If you wanted to you do something channels like this:
* domain1.com – 728 banner
* domain1.com – 336 block
* domain1.com – text link
* domain2.com – 728 banner
* domain2.com – image banner
* domain2.com – 336 block
* domain3.com – 300 block
While this is great for testing and knowing who clicks where and why, it makes your reporting a little wonky. Your total number will always be correct but when you look at your reports with a channel break down things will get displayed multiple times and not add up to correct total. Makes things pretty confusing, so decide if you really need/want that level of reporting detail. TIP: At the very least you want to know what URL is generating the income so be sure to enter distinct URL channels.
Site Design and Integration
Once you know you are going to put adsense on your website you’re going to have to consider where to put it. If this is new site it’s easier, if it’s an existing site it’s more difficult. While there are some people who will be able to do it, in most cases I’d say if you just slap the adsense code in, you’ll end up with a frankensite monster (props to Tedster of WMW for the buzzword). While every website is different, Google has published some heat maps showing the optimal locations. No surprise that the best spots are middle of the page and left hand side. Now I’ve done really well by placing it on the right, but you should know why you’re doing it that way before hand, and be prepared to change it if it doesn’t work out.
Google has also has published a list of the highest performing ad sizes:
* 336×280 large rectangle
* 300×250 inline rectangle
* 160×600 wide skyscraper
From the sites that I run, I do really well with the 336 rectangle and 160 skyscraper. My next best performing ad size is the 728 leaderboard, I don’t really use the 300 inline rectangle too often. So really it depends on how well you integrate these into your site. Placement can have a dramatic effect on performance. TIP: When working on a new site or new layout you may want to give each location it’s own channel for a little while until you understand the users behavior.
Another ‘trick’ that can increase your CTR is by blending your adsense into your body copy. For example if your body copy is black, remove the adsense border and make the title, text, and URL black.TIP: Try changing all of your page hyperlinks to a high contrast color (like dark red or a bold blue) then change the adsense title to the same color.
The one area where I’ve found blended ads don’t perform as well is forums, especially ones with a high volume of repeat members. Regular visitors develop banner blindness pretty quickly. One ‘trick’ to keep the ads from being ignored is to randomize the color and even the placement. As with any of the decisions about location, placement and color it’s a trade off. How much do you emphasize the ads without annoying your visitors. Remember it’s better to have a 1% CTR with 500 regular visitors as opposed to a 5% CTR with 50 visitors. TIP: For forums try placing the adsense ads directly above or below the the first forum thread.
Using Images
One of the latest ’secrets’ to make the rounds is using images placed directly above or below an adsense leaderboard. This has been used for a while but came out in a digital point forum thread where a member talked about quadrupling their CTR. Basically you set up the adsense code in a table with four images that line up directly with the ads. Whether or not this is deceptive is fuzzy and very subjective. Obviously four blinking arrows would be ‘enticing people to click’ and be against the adsense TOS. However placing pictures of 4 laptops over laptops ads isn’t, so use your best judgment here and look at it from the advertiser or Google’s perspective. If you have a question as to your implementation being ‘over the line’ write to adsense and ask them to take a look.
As far as using the images, I’ve done it and can tell you it definitely works. You get the best results when the images ‘complete the story the ads are telling’. For example if you have ads about apple pies, use pictures of freshly baked apple pies, instead of granny smith, Macintosh, pink lady, and braeburn apples. TIP: Don’t limit yourself to using images only on that size ad unit, it works just as well with the other sizes, like the 336 rectangle.
Added:
I got a little criticizm for this and rightly so, as I wasn’t specific as I could have been. Do not use very identifiable brand name or products for your images. Use generic non-specific stock images whenever possible and appropriate.
Multiple Ad Units
Another way to increase ad revenue is to use multiple ad units. According to Google’s TOS you are allowed to post up to three ad units per page. Similar to standard search results the highest paying ad units will be served first and the lowest being served last. If there is enough of an ad inventory, place all three ad units. However you should pay attention to the payouts. Current assumption is you get 60% of the revenue (on a $0.05 click you get $0.03). So if a click from the third ad unit is only paying between 3 to 5 cents you may want to omit it from your page. This is one are where giving your ad units channels does have value. If one ad unit is getting a higher percentage of click throughs you’ll want to make sure the highest paying ads are being served there. TIP:Use CSS positioning to get your highest paying ads serving in the location with the highest CTR.
Adsense in RSS
With the growth of blogs and RSS feeds you’re starting to see adsense included in the feeds now. IMHO this doesn’t work, and here’s why:
* You only get to place one ad unit.
* You have no control over finding the ’sweet spot’ for the ad unit.
* The ads are usually poorly targeted (this is getting better).
* People develop ‘banner blindness’.
I know people like being able to read full postings in their feed reader, and there are at least a dozen other reasons for full posts from pleasing your users to mobile offline computing, all of which are completely valid. However if your website depends on generating adsense revenue to survive, then bring them to the site and show them the ads there.
Affiliate Sites
Placing Adsense on affiliate sites is tricky. Are you giving up a $10, $20, or $30 sale for a $1 click? This is something you have to test on your own to figure out. If you aren’t converting now it’s definitely worth a try. I like to use adsense on my article pages. For example let’s say you had an affiliate website where you sold shoes. You’re going to need some related articles to ‘flesh out’ the site. Things like ‘getting a shoe shine’ or ‘finding a shoe repair shop’ these are excellent spots for adsense. While you won’t get rich, they will usually provide a small steady income and cover things like hosting costs.TIP: If you find you have pages getting more than 50 clicks per month add more pages about this topic, and link the pages together. Mine you logs for the search terms used.
PPC Arbitrage
This is a dicey subject so I’m going to steer clear of precise examples. Basically you bid on low volume uber niche terms at a very low cost. You set up landing page that contains high payout ads for the related general topic. You are looking for terms with a large gap between the price you are bidding on adwords and the price you are getting on Adsense. If you pay $0.10 a click and get $1.00 a click you make $0.90 each click. To get your adsense ad approved you will need to ‘add some value’ along the way. You can make a killing or get taken to the cleaners with this one, so make sure you know what you are doing before you try it.
Have any other adsense tips, tricks or secrets? Drop me an email and let me know, I’ll give you credit.

728 leaderboard works very well if it is just above the end of the
“above the fold” area on what would be considered your viewers average
resolution/browser window size if there are few other enticing links
above the fold. Makes for an interesting layout but if you’re building
a site for AdSense it may be worth it. We consistently receive very
high CTRs from doing this.
Try to build sites that allow you to quickly try any and all of
those locations outlined in the heatmap guide or at least allow you a
wide degree of freedom to easily change ad/content locations.

adsense ad placement
The Basics of Using AdSense - Location
When you place AdSense on your site, you should look at the task as though you are providing a resource to members, not simply trying to generate income from their clicks. For this reason, you’ll want to target the areas that visitors tend to look at first - sidebars and headers. Visitors that don’t see an ad won’t click on them, either.
Here is a rather brief look at general placement options for most blogs:
Sidebar - The sidebar is one of the most critical placement areas for ads - the second most looked at location right after the content. Ads should be placed in a logical manner, blending in with other similar links or used in a way to attract attention to them, while not overwhelming your visitors with “flashy” graphics.
Between Blog Posts - These ads will display in-between each post (up to three times per page), with nearly every size available, from 120×90 pixel buttons to 300×250 rectangles. There is a good chance that visitors will notice these, thinking they are still a part of your content.
Header - A blog’s header should remain as clean as possible, distinguishing your site from others from the time a new visitors first appears on your site, but it can also be a prime location for placing ads. Generally, the best sizes are 468×15 (up to five links) or larger, as the content/links displayed will be generated from the keywords that have been placed in your header/first posts.
Menu - 728*15 ads in place of the menu in header or just beneath the header will work the most if used in that spot. This will really increase Adsense earnings as the spot and the ad resembles as if the menu of the website. Many readers of your blog may not like placing ad in that position but still if we need to make earnings from Adsense we need to find such most important spots for Adsense. (Thanks BLOGGERUSER)
Inside Blog Posts - If we display Adsense ads inside post, it is found that it has relatively higher CTR. People mostly think this ads as a part of the content and click it often. And these ads have almost related words to the topic or key words you have in your specific blog post. (Thanks CELEBSIMAGE)
Feeds - An area often overlooked for ad placement is in feeds. After all, there are many sites that have thousands of subscribers - people who normally don’t visit the actual website each day
When you place AdSense on your site, you should look at the task as though you are providing a resource to members, not simply trying to generate income from their clicks. For this reason, you’ll want to target the areas that visitors tend to look at first - sidebars and headers. Visitors that don’t see an ad won’t click on them, either.

Header - A blog’s header should remain as clean as possible, distinguishing your site from others from the time a new visitors first appears on your site, but it can also be a prime location for placing ads. Generally, the best sizes are 468×15 (up to five links) or larger, as the content/links displayed will be generated from the keywords that have been placed in your header/first posts.
Menu - 728*15 ads in place of the menu in header or just beneath the header will work the most if used in that spot. This will really increase Adsense earnings as the spot and the ad resembles as if the menu of the website. Many readers of your blog may not like placing ad in that position but still if we need to make earnings from Adsense we need to find such most important spots for Adsense. (Thanks BLOGGERUSER)
Inside Blog Posts - If we display Adsense ads inside post, it is found that it has relatively higher CTR. People mostly think this ads as a part of the content and click it often. And these ads have almost related words to the topic or key words you have in your specific blog post. (Thanks CELEBSIMAGE)
Feeds - An area often overlooked for ad placement is in feeds. After all, there are many sites that have thousands of subscribers - people who normally don’t visit the actual website each day

how to increase adsense earnings
Ad Positioning: Tactics to Increase Your AdSense Earnings Overnight
In this series I’m examining tactics that can be used to increase AdSense earnings immediately. Read the introduction to this series here.
Today I want to talk about positioning your AdSense ads - something that has a very significant impact upon the amount of money that they are able to earn.
I learned this lesson after I’d been using AdSense for some time - I often wish I’d discovered it earlier - because not thinking it through earlier cost me a significant amount of money!
My Story of Learning about AdSense Positioning
I remember clearly the time that my AdSense earnings almost doubled over night through me simply moving them from one part of my blog to another.
Up until the point where I made this discovery my AdSense ads had been largely in a banner position on my blog. I don’t remember my exact reasoning for putting it there but it was probably because that’s where I saw all the big sites doing. My blog’s post pages looked like the diagram to the right.
Performance with this positioning was OK - but then again, I didn’t know any different so while I was earning enough on my blog at this point to make a day or two a week of earnings I was blissfully unaware of the potential that my blog had to take me a step closer to going full time as a blogger.
I’m not sure of why I decided to experiment with my ad positioning but after a while of positioning my AdSense ads this way I decided to have a ‘play’ with other positions. I began to think about where on my page my readers would give their full attention and decided at the top left hand side of the content area would probably be the most logical position for people to look at a web page (as that’s where they start reading). This was at a time before AdSense brought out their ‘heatmap’ which confirmed that this was a wise move.
So late one afternoon I decided to move my ad unit from the banner position to this spot at the top left hand side of my post area.
My ads now looked like the diagram to the left.
I was actually a little nervous about making this move. What if my earnings went down and I started going backwards?
I decided to give the new position a couple of days testing. I could afford to lose earnings for two days but if they didn’t at least match the previous positioning I’d switch it back.
That night just before I went to bed I decided to log into AdSense to see what the results were like after a few hours.
Imagine my surprise when I saw my CTR 40%!
40% more readers were clicking my ads and this was obviously already impacting my overall earnings!
I didn’t sleep too well that night as I realized the power of what I’d discovered. I could potentially see a 40% increase in my earnings with a simple move of my ads.
The next morning I awoke earlier and logged into AdSense and found that the CTR was now up by just under 50%.
That day I’d increased my earnings enough to dedicate at least another day a week to blogging by simply changing the position of an ad unit!
Tips on Ad Positioning
Ad positioning is vitally important to the performance of ad units like AdSense.
In general - the positions that are ‘hot’ can be seen on the heatmap to the right (this is the official AdSense heatmap which they put together from their own research and observations of where ads work best. You can see how anywhere at the top of content can work best (the brightest orange area) but that in general above the fold and to the left seems to be the ‘hotter areas’.
This does vary from blog to blog and there are some specific spots that work best on blogs (I’ll show them below). The key is to try different things and to find what works best on your blog.

dofollow socialmarker social bookmarking
Lets face it, not all “dofollow” bookmarking sites are created equal. Lately I was examining some incoming links to Some Extra Pennies. I decided to pay special attention to links coming from bookmarking sites and to my surprise I found that most links from these sources are not counted by Google only a hand full of them even appeared in Google’s Webmaster Tools. Then I enrolled myself on a mission to find which were the most useful bookmarking sites around. After realizing it is almost impossible to carry on with a research of this magnitude in a short time I decided to investigate most of the sites marked as “dofollow” on Socialmarker since these are the ones that can actually transmit some link juice to sites.
Having used this tool for quite a few times on some on my own posts I noticed that most links are not counted by Yahoo or Google. I quickly noticed what was happening on most of them. Some bookmarking sites construct pages in ASPX or other languages that construct pages depending on user preferences and do not assign a particular url to your folder making it impossible for crawlers to visit. Others have buggy applications making it impossible to publish your bookmarks to the public which includes search engines. Other bookmarking sites where marked as “dofollow” and where not or redirect to your page using a strange url generated by the bookmarking site itself. So after checking links out for some time I came with four picks.
So here are my picks when it comes to no nonsense bookmarking sites:
Oyax Page rank 4
Furl Page rank 7
Folkd Page Rank 7
Mister Wong Page Rank 7
Note: Mister Wong detects if you are only bookmarking a site in particular and may block you bookmarks making them “private” so bookmark other pages from other people to add credibility to your profile, not really sure about the other sites though but I have not had any inconveniences using them to bookmark my sites.
Update: Furl was sold to Diigo and is now No Follow
Have you used these sites before? What are your results?

@ Condruct
Social Bookmarking is the way to go. When you submit an entry these sites generate a “tag” that performs very well in search engines and gets your site indexed at light speed. I have gotten excellent results with just bookmarking and article marketing in a niche site I am currently working on which is a highly competitive niche. Of course you have to attack long tail keywords that are less competitive in order for your “bookmarking tag” to crush almost every listing and include your main keyword so that your site get the real juice you are seeking. It is very important to do intensive keyword research it will payoff in the end believe me.
@Bohol Stumble upon is great for traffic. Some Extra Pennies received almost 400 visitors in a day from just one thumbs up. But Stumble is more complicated and submitting your own site too much will get it blocked. So leave that to your visitors. After one of your pages get the first thumbs up from someone you can give it the thumbs up yourself and push it further.

I have been testing Spurl for quite some time but I was unable to make my bookmarks public until recently. The API used to give a page not found error. Around a week ago I was able to “publish my bookmark collection” to the public. I am still waiting to see if google picks those links up and displays them in Webmasters tools. If they show up, then I will add Spurl to the list. And thank you a lot for visiting my blog. Have a nice week.

@Ej What makes Stumble Upon not good for bookmarking your site is that if you keep submitting URLs from the same domain, the system stops sending the usual avalanche of traffic it is expected. If an account “discovers” consecutively pages from a specific domain it blocks the account from “discovering” more pages from that domain. Thumbs up are handled different from discovered pages. A discovered page is a first time thumbs up. Leave that to your visitors instead if you notice traffic from a page from Stumble, it means somebody submitted it, after this giving a thumbs up will not hurt. Just Google “banned from stumble upon” and you will see what I mean. Rule of the Thumb: Submitting a bunch of your posts to stumble upon will only get your site banned from the system. Submit a few and let others submit them for you. And it is “No Follow”.

also this :

I had one site that had nothing but a stumble links pointing to it which ended up gaining PR as well.

@ Joe I just checked the second link you posted. It appears that the link points to and Iframe. Iframes normally stop crawlers from even looking at the page below. I personally do not know if they are actually reading the page bellow but from the source code I see with Firefox there isn’t even a link to the actual page. The source code itself is from the Iframe. Sometimes a crawler my get around the if there is a no frame tag but I took a quick glance and didn’t found it. I will try to follow that link with a text browser to see what happens. But at first glance all I saw was Java script and some links pointing to Stumble Upon. Sorry for the late reply College is killing me.

Thanks for the informative article. Do you think the comments/traffic that come from DoFollow are worth the trouble/spam? Isn’t there a detriment to your PR by allowing this?
January 4th, 2009 at 12:06 am
Archie Pennies said:
@AC Thanks for visiting! Well it depends on what comments you allow. While page rank is believed to leak from followed comments, sometimes comments from users with sites relevant to a blog will have a positive effect. For example, if a site is about cars and a lot of people with sites about cars comment in a post and leave their link as the commenter name search engines might think that this is good resource with lots of content and a links to relevant sites. Just be careful with the sites that are linked to especially with autoblogs, splogs and trackback spam. If a comment looks fishy try a copy - paste on Google to see if the same comment appears on a site in order to verify if it is comment spam or not. As for leaving comments in do follow blogs, the real boost comes with blogs that allow keywords as the name. Check out comment policies. If the blogger does not allow keywords use your name. You still get some link juice but it will probably not help much when it comes to boosting search engine rankings for the desired keyword.

The source code itself is from the Iframe. Sometimes a crawler my get around the if there is a no frame tag but I took a quick glance and didn’t found it. I will try to follow that link with a text browser to see what happens. But at first glance all I saw was Java script and some links pointing to Stumble Upon. Sorry for the late reply College is killing me.

Thanks for the informative article. Do you think the comments/traffic that come from DoFollow are worth the trouble/spam? Isn’t there a detriment to your PR by allowing this?

@AC Thanks for visiting! Well it depends on what comments you allow. While page rank is believed to leak from followed comments, sometimes comments from users with sites relevant to a blog will have a positive effect. For example, if a site is about cars and a lot of people with sites about cars comment in a post and leave their link as the commenter name search engines might think that this is good resource with lots of content and a links to relevant sites. Just be careful with the sites that are linked to especially with autoblogs, splogs and trackback spam. If a comment looks fishy try a copy - paste on Google to see if the same comment appears on a site in order to verify if it is comment spam or not. As for leaving comments in do follow blogs, the real boost comes with blogs that allow keywords as the name. Check out comment policies. If the blogger does not allow keywords use your name. You still get some link juice but it will probably not help much when it comes to boosting search engine rankings for the desired keyword.

Social bookmarking can be useful as a way to access a consolidated set of bookmarks from various computers, organize large numbers of bookmarks, and share bookmarks with contacts. Even libraries have found social bookmarking to be useful as an easy way to provide lists of informative links to patrons.

Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.
Keep up the good work.

I see dofollow sites depreciate in value soon. Not saying it’s not worth using but should be used for improving awareness rather than anything else.

What are revenue sharing forums ?
Revenue sharing forums are forums that give active users the option of displaying their ads in threads. Ads are usually show based on probability. For example, if a forum states that if you start a thread you have a 50/50 revenue share probability on AdSense ads. This means that when someone visits a thread you started there is a 50% probability that AdSense ads displayed include you Adsense ID. Any clicks when ads have your publisher ID gets credited to your account. Each forum has its own set of rules when it comes to revenue sharing. Some forums even take in consideration members who post on threads as candidates for the revenue share and not just the person who started the original thread. Rule of thumb: Always read and follow a forums rules and terms.
What benefits can be obtained by participating in these forums?
The most important benefit from participating in these forums is the opportunity to become part in an active community of like minded people that are willing to help. You can learn a lot from other peoples experiences. In forums you can get answers to questions you could not otherwise get answered anywhere, get useful recommendations from other members and have some fun in the process. Other benefits from forums included on the list are that they allow signatures with no follow tag removed from them (great backlinks) and of course money.
Criteria I used in the list:
revenue sharing
allow signatures that pass on link juice (have no follow tag disabled)
are ranked by Google
are mainly directed at webmasters, affiliate marketing or both. Note: Some of them allow even affiliate links other strictly forbid it. Read their rules and TOS.
7 Revenue sharing, dofollow on signature forums
Digital Point PR 7
Webmasters PR 7
Revenue Source PR 5
Web Talk Forums PR 4
DJ Webmaster PR 3
Webmaster Talk PR 3
Webmaster’s Home PR 2
Web Cosmo Forums PR 3
If you know any forums that meet the criteria let me know, this helps make a bigger list. Your comments and suggestions are welcome and needed. Have made any money online using these forums?
