Make Money Online with Duckeldanny.com

duckeldanny.com is a blog about making money online. From what I understand it is maintained by a German blogger who is doing is an excellent job channelling traffic from European search engines and other European sites to his blog. duckeldanny.com contains posts about making money blogging. It presents a great collection of strategies, affiliates and advertising networks. If you are interested in making more money blogging you should check these reviews out because this blogger does a good job. In addition to all the making money online and making money blogging tips you can find on duckeldanny.com, there is a variety of posts about different blogging and internet related subjects that make for a good read.

It is a Wordpress blog and every few posts there is at least one cool wordpress pluggin for all wordpress users to choose from. Personally, I always wanted a wordpress blog but was to busy…er…lazy to switch.

Regarding traffic, duckeldanny.com seems to have a lot of European visitors and some days over 1,500 uniques, according to the project wonderful stats which are usually a few hundred visitors off. Nevertheless, over 1,000 uniques is over 1,000 uniques and that is great.

Aside from the make money blogging tips, and the news bits that are featured regularly on this make money blog, at duckeldanny.com you will find some solid advice on other blog related topics, particularly interesting stuff for webmasters.

A post I found interesting particularly was one on the different types of Meta tags and why they are significant. It all boils down to SEO. Although I have stressed how important getting backlinks from other blogs is, what I have not talked about a lot is on site optimization. Things you can change on your blog or sie to rank better. One of the things all webmasters should consider learning is the proper use of meta tags and duckeldanny.com has a sweet post about this topic titled: Bloggers guide to meta tags.

When I started blogging a few months ago I was absolutely clueless about what I was doing. I searched for a few blogging keywords, read some A-listers posts and thought I was ready to take on the internet…lol. I think about it some times and I laugh. Well, 4 months have passed and I still don’t know much about what I am doing. I feel clueless sometimes…never helpless however. I never feel helpless because what ever the subject might be I can research, experiment and learn. Coming across a nice post, even if it is on an introductory level, might help get the hamsters walking and the brain juice flowing.

Duckeldanny.com does a good job including some informative posts on SEO that provide a solid foundation for your further SEO attempts.

SEO is not something you will learn from one day to another. Never buy into the sales pitches that claim that you will learn whatever you need to know and make money instantly by doing this and that. Like everything else, you need to put in some effort. Read, learn and implement constantly. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Start small and grow slowly. There is no fast fix that will make you successful. Success in anything does take a lot of effort and determination. Especially if you define success by how much money you make. Making money blogging or online or offline or whatever only comes when you master your process, when you invest your time and money wisely and you are not afraid losing it.

One of the things I like to do is help people get a solid foundation on knowledge and know-how. Not that I am an expert in the subject but I thing that If I can clarify one thing to someone then at least I have at least reached at some point of success. Without establishing that solid foundation you are going nowhere I appreciate blogs that include those extra few little things that will help you learn one or two things. That’s why I like duckeldanny.com. Because he is a honest blogger with goals, a methodology and presents things and information in a straight forward manner.

A good example of this is a post about setting up your affiliate online business. It is simple and straight forward and will put things in perspective if you are aiming to make money blogging.

Anyhow, I like duckeldanny.com and though I ought to let you know. It is one informative up and coming make money blog.

davidmakescents.com is a blog about money. It is a Personal Finance Blog maintained by a college student/blogger interested in making and saving money. This is not a make money online blog. It is however primarily focused on saving and managing money. The primary goal of this blogger is to increase his worth to $100,000 in the next 3 years and by the time college graduation comes. Currently it is at $24,126. This is not an easy task.

By going over and reading this blog, a few things caught my attention. In terms of content if find that davidmakescents.com is on a good track.

I particularly found the credit card section interesting. David from davidmakescents.com talks about how you can use your credit card to make money. This does sound like an oxymoron but it s possible and it is true. Credit cards are usually associated with spending money, high interest and loosing money. There is however a way to use credit cards to your advantage. According to davidmakescents.com, the process is referred to as credit card arbitrage. You won’t get rich doing this but according to the post you will be able to at least save some money if not make money. The whole process depends on you having 2 credit cards; one with dept and one with a low or 0 introductory rate. The way to do this is to transfer the high interest balance to the second one after you use the first one to write a check to yourself; take that check and put it in the bank for a year. Suggestions like these can prove to be helpful in dire times of need, but personally I wouldn’t do so due to the fact that playing around with large balances can affect your credit rating.

davidmakescents.com is a great place to learn more about credit cards, how to deal with the hidden fees as well as what you can do to save money when dealing with dept.

If it is money you want to make, the best way to start doing so is to start saving money. davidmakescents.com has included a few tips on saving money on your gasoline bill as well. Tips on doing so include, filling your gas tank on cooler times of the day, early in the morning when ground temperature is relatively lower. Doing so will allow you to get more gas for every dollar. Other tips have to do with filling up when your tank already has some gas in it minimizing the evaporation, and never buy gas when you see a truck unloading gas at the store at the same time.

Overall, this is an interesting blog. Even though it is relatively new it could grow. In terms of monetization, the methods used are Adsense and a few affiliates. It has a few backlinks, and if managed properly it could help this blogger increase his worth a bit more. To do so I would suggest selecting a total of three keywords and focusing on getting as many backlinks as possible. What I would do is to take three posts, optimize them for one keyword each and focus on getting as many backlinks as possible with that anchor text point back to those three posts. That way, over time the ranking of these posts will move up in the SERPS and the Adsense revenue could potentially increase.

I like blogs with goals, and I enjoyed reading this personal finance blog.

bestjoanne.info is money blog created and maintained by Joanne from New Zealand. There are posts that date back to May 2007 so I assume that this blog has been around since. Going through and reading a few posts on this blog I was intrigued by this bloggers honesty. Joanne does admit that she is frustrated with the fact that not much money is being made. Well, I have come to realize that this is the best place to be in. When someone is honest about something, honest to themselves and others it helps in going through the realization stage; the realization that something should and ought to change. To be able to take action and achieve something, someone, and since I am talking about blogs, a blogger should realize that the time is right to take the next step. As I said I am intrigued with Joanne’s honesty, something you rarely find on other blogs out there. To anyone who is in the same place as Joanne I would say to hang in there, don’t get discouraged and keep trying. In the case of blogging, stay focused and always optimize your blog for one or two affiates, ad networks, and work hard in making those work. I am babering again….what I am trying to say is that bestjoanne.info is a blog that is waiting to be taken to the next level…to the implementation level. Still, visit bestjoanne.info for interesting ways to monetize your blog.

Zdiaz.com, a Make Money, Money Management, Investing, Make Money Online, Law and Technology Blog…amongst other things


There are countless make money online blogs out there. Just search for the keywords, make money blog, or make money blogging and you will get 10’s of millions of results. The general consensus is that most of these blogs are worthless. Some are automatically made and a vast majority contain regurgitated information. Some have been created and then abandoned. I don’t disagree with this notion completely. Nevertheless, I am a firm believer that somewhere between the vast lists of search engine results lay a few blogging gems. Aside from the big boys and girls out there, the big money blogs…there are many smaller, or medium sized blogs pursuing the money keywords that are well maintained, their authors are passionate about what they are doing and they are good sources of information.

For me, a blog is a good source of information when the author(s), the bloggers do not only preach, advise and point to information but they also try out what they suggest, make sure what they tried works and then if it doesn’t they still write about it. These people will engage in experiments, try things see what works and not just write about something just because a supposed blogging guru did so. I personally like the blogs that are maintained by bloggers who try things out. I will subscribe to those blogs, learn from their successes or mistakes and compare results with what I have managed to achieve.

One of these blogs is zdiaz.com. Zidiaz.com amongst other things deals with money, money management and making money online. You can four great posts on investing in the Philippine stock market in the financial management and investments category as well as a post with Money saving tips. By doing so, this blogger is creating content that includes the money keywords that will in the end help this blog rank higher.

In terms of getting blogs rank better in searches, there have been a few things that caught my attention. Aside from focusing on the money keyword, writing about money management and providing tips on saving and investing, at zdiaz.com you can find some interesting SEO experiments. To start, I want to mention the importance of understanding Google Trends. Anyone who is interested in optimizing a site for search engines must decide on a few keywords. These keywords should not only be relating to your content but also keywords that search engine users will look for. Before you start optimizing you ought to check that there is a high volume of searches for a particular keyword or set of keywords. You can do that by using Google Trends. You can get a better idea at zdiaz.com, and by reading a good breakdown of Google trends and high volume keywords.

So, following his own advice, zdiaz.com embarked on a journey of SEO exploration determined to achieve high rankings for a few keywords. To do so, this blogger, picked different keywords with lower competion than make money blog, money money online and so on… and created a couple of posts. I found two posts one for Mr. Bean and one for Googel and Googol, two words that are almost like Google but not quite…Nevertheless, people search for the words and a site can get visitors as long as it ranks well for them.

The most interesting experiment I came across on zdiaz.com, is something I have been willing to try myself for a while.

Zdiaz.com SEO experiment

Charlie Bit Me is a youtube video that has been viewed 15,694,744 times. Videos this popular are increasingly becoming a vehicle for blogs to attract visitors. This blogger is doing just that. By creating a post that includes this video he is trying to get some traffic from search engine visitors who are looking for it. Well, the searches for this video seem to have peaked according to Google trends but still zdiaz is doing a good job in ranking his blow well for the particular keyword.

Here you can see that zdiaz.com is in moving up in the SERPS and has managed to get on the third page of the search for the keyword Charlie bit me.

By having a widely popular video like this one on your site can help drive traffic. It will not necessarily be traffic that will read your posts but will possibly generate a few dollars if they click on a few advertisements or buy something off your site.

As I mentioned in the beginning of this post, I enjoy reading blogs that have information that is derived from actual experimentation, from trial and error and can give me, one more newbie blogger the opportunity to see first hand what works and what doesn’t. Zdiaz.com is one of these blogs. I will definitely keep going back for more.

I have written a post about the two stages a blog can be in. These stages are the experimentation and implementation stages. The post is titled: Blogging experimentation and implementation, it might be an interesting read if you are still figuring things out yourself.

I will write a review for your make money blogging or internet marketing blog!

The only reason why I started this blog was to see if I could generate a few cents on the side by writing. The only reason why this blog was named Ideas and Money was the fact that I wanted to see if I could come up with a few ideas that would make me money. It wasn’t the first time someone tried this and certainly not that last. Since then I have had a few milestones, I have generated a few bucks and met a few nice people. One of the things I have done consistently is trying to connect with other bloggers. I have met a few very nice bloggers, who share similar interests with me. Sometimes it is hard to short through the countless blogs about making money. Most of them do not have anything unique; they are exactly the same with regurgitated material. Ok, all make money blogs do sound redundant, even this one for sure... However, there is a few that stick out. Blogs that are not amongst the established behemoths but are smaller and newer, they are however maintained by intriguing and resourceful writers entrepreneurs and marketers.

What I am getting at is that I want to start creating short of a network of similar minded bloggers, with the same interests and similar goals. I know that there are many social networking sites out there just for this purpose. Nevertheless, I will choose not to do this through a social network or a bookmarking site but through this blog. I decided to put this blog to use and start giving other relatively new and honest bloggers something back. Instead of money I decided to write short reviews about their blogs.

Aside from the usual posts, I will write a short review for make money blogging/online and marketing blogs; sites that have similar goals as mine. The daily featured blogs that will begin to appear here will have paid a symbolic fee of Entrecard credits just so I can put those credits to use and buy more advertising and consequently more exposure for the reviews. Aside from the reviews, which will be short, there will be a link to every blog, with the desired keyword, as a form of gratitude from me for allowing me to write about them. So stay tuned for a daily post about what other bloggers are doing to make money.

If you have a make money blogging or marketing blog and are interested in being reviewed, you can pursue that interest by clicking here. By doing so, you will also be satisfying your curiosity!
