What’s New in the Upcoming WordPress 3.5 Release?

http://dynamic-tips.blogspot.com/
Categories: News, Wordpress

The official release of WordPress version 3.5 is coming in December 2012 and we’ve had a chance to take a sneak peek and have a quick play around with the WP 3.5 beta 1 version.

The WordPress developers have made something like over several hundred changes and most of them are under the hood or something developers would be normally interested in but there are also some neat and visually more obvious functional changes for the rest of the WordPress users.

1. New Native Theme – Twenty Twelve

The much overdue Twenty Twelve theme will now become the third native WordPress theme available as part of the WP installation alongside the Twenty Eleven and Twenty Ten themes.

Some features which the new and cool Twenty Twelve theme boasts are:

Responsive theme – Twenty Twelve is a fully responsive theme and is actually the first native WordPress theme to be fully responsive. This responsive design feature makes it very user-friendly for mobile web users. It adjusts really well to smaller screen sizes without losing or compromising much of the basic page functionality.

Better Typography – The Twenty Twelve theme comes standard with the Open Sans font family via the Google Web Fonts directory. Although many people overlook the importance of typography and readability of their web pages, this theme will at least give you a very stylish and readable font by default.

Front Page Template – this theme also includes a special front page template which has its own dedicated widgets. This really highlights the versatility of this theme and opens up the options for how one can display their front page.



2. Improved Media Experience

The media uploader has once again seen another improvement. In the 3.3 major WP release we saw the introduction of HTML5 Silverlight for media uploads. Although the new release doesn’t quite boast such a major enhancement, it does give the user a much improved experience.



When a user clicks on the upload media button they will get the usual drag/drop box but in addition they will see a displaying of a gallery of uploaded images. When an image is clicked an insert button appears which the user can click.

3. Links Menu Has Been Removed

When you fire up WP3.5 and go into the administration panel you might not notice the fact that the “Links” menu item has disappeared. This could be due to the fact that you never really used this item before.



If you have been using this feature and are concerned that you can’t use it when you upgrade to 3.5, fear not, because you can install this plugin to revive the links feature if you wish.

4. Simplified and User-Friendly Welcome Admin Screen

When you first log into the admin panel of your WordPress 3.5 installation you will notice some subtle changes in the administration screen. Firstly the welcome screen has changed and arguably it is a lot more user friendly.



For example under the “Welcome to WordPress!” heading there are some easily referenced links for people who are new to WordPress and need guidance in starting with their blog’s construction and design.

5. Improved Keyboard Navigation

If you like to use your keyboard to navigate around pages then you will appreciate the 3.5 release.

For instance as soon as you log into the admin panel try clicking the <tab> button to navigate around the page and you will see some improvements.

As you tab across each main fly-out menu item it will automatically open and traverse along the sub-menu items.

6. Easily Install and Reference Your “Favorite” Plugins

With WP3.5 you can now also quickly reference any plugins which you may classed as “favourite” in wordpress.org by clicking on the new item in the “Install Plugins” window called “Favorites”.



7. Some Brief under-the-hood Enhancements for Developers

Below is a summary of what developers can expect in WordPress 3.5:

External libraries updated: TinyMCE  3.5.6. SimplePie 1.3. jQuery 1.8.2. jQuery UI 1.9 (and it’s not even released yet).
Also added Backbone 0.9.2 and Underscore 1.3.3, and you can use protocol-relative links when enqueueing scripts and styles.
WP Query: You can now ask to receive posts in the order specified by post__in.
XML-RPC: New user management, profile editing, and post revision methods.
Multisite: switch_to_blog() is now used in more places, is faster, and more reliable.
You can now use multisite in a subdirectory, and uploaded files no longer go through ms-files (for new installs).
TinyMCE: Added API support for “views” which you can use to offer previews and interaction of elements from the visual editor.
Posts API: Major performance improvements when working with hierarchies of pages and post ancestors. Also, you can now “turn on” native custom columns for taxonomies on edit post screens.
Comments API: Search for comments of a particular status, or with a meta query (same as with WP_Query).
oEmbed: Added support for some oEmbed providers -  now can handle SSL links.

Essential WordPress Security Tips – Is Your Blog Protected? Categories: Blog Setup, Featured

I have been revisiting the various security settings of my WordPress blog after the sudden database table corruption of this blog for unknownreason last week. In this post I have highlighted some of the security tips that can help protect your blog from possible outside attacks.

Use Strong Passwords for all Entry Points

I was surprised to find out how many of my friends use the WordPress admin password generated by WordPress during install time and thinks that their blog is protected from attacks as they are using a strong password! The WordPress admin password generated during install time is normally pretty strong (consists lowercase and uppercase letters with numbers and symbols) so there is nothing wrong with that. I was mainly shocked to find out that their ftp/cPanel password for that domain is not that strong. It gets even better… one of them were using his partners name as the password (Did I mention that his partner’s name was mentioned on his blog’s ‘About’ page?)! The ftp/cPanel password for your domain is equally important. If someone can access your cPanel then that person can delete your WordPress database from the cPanel->Databases->MySQL Databases. Anyway, the bottom line is to use strong passwords for all entry points not just one.

Protect the ‘wp-admin’ Directory

Use a .htaccess file in the ‘wp-admin’ directory to limit access to only certain IP addresses (your home, work etc). The WordPress htaccesstips post has more htaccess related tips and tricks. Below is an example .htaccess file that can be used for this purpose (replace ‘x’ and ‘y’ with your IP address)

AuthUserFile /dev/null

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName “Access Control”

AuthType Basic

order deny,allow

deny from all

# whitelist home IP address

allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

# whitelist work IP address

allow from yy.yyy.yyy.yyy

If you don’t have static IP addresses then the above method can be a bit hard to implement. In that case I would recommend the use ofAskApache Password Protect WordPress plugin. The ‘AskApache Password Protect’ plugin adds some serious password protection to your WordPress Blog. Not only does it protect your ‘wp-admin’ directory, but also your wp-includes, wp-content, plugins, etc. Use the Login Lockdown Plugin to protect your blog against brute force attack (a brute force attack is a method of defeating a cryptographic scheme by systematically trying a large number of possibilities)

Deny access to your Plugins and other directories

A lot of bloggers don’t protect access to their WordPress plugins directory. What I mean by this is that if you go to the www.your-domain.com/wp-content/plugins/ from a browser it shows all the plugins that you are using. Many wordpress plugins can have vulnerabilities which the attacker can use to harm your blog. So, its a good idea to block access to these directories. You can use a .htaccess file or just upload a blank ‘index.html’ file to that directory to block access to these directories. (download a blank index.html)

Update WordPress to the Latest Release

As new WrodPress versions are released the security bugs for previous release becomes public information. WordPress could have vulnerabilities as a result of how the program is written that allow an attacker to pass HTTP arguments, bad URI strings, form input, etc, that could cause Bad Things to happen. So always upate your WordPress to the latest version to make sure that you are protected against any known security bugs.

Don’t Show WordPress Version on Your Blog

You should not make the WordPress version that you are using visible to others for the same reason explained above. The specific WordPress version that you are using can give the attacker an upper hand in finding a way to break in.

Backup Your Data

I can’t stress this enough… always keep backups of all the important files. I always backup my WordPress Database and WordPress files in case of emergency. Read my ‘What would you do if you lost all your blog’s content‘ article to find out how backups can help you sleep better at night 

Be Careful When You Upload Something to Your Site

When you upload a script (example: a plugin, a theme or just a normal script) to your site you need to be extra careful as it can harm your site if it was designed to do so. Only upload authentic content to your site. Neverdownload a plugin or a theme from a warez or torrent or file sharing sites. The content on these sites can be disguised as a plugin or a theme but it will harm your site when uploaded to your server. You can read more on these types of attack from the free premium plugin and theme downloaders beware article.

9 Ways to Find a Domain Name for Any Site

http://dynamic-tips.blogspot.com/

With dozens or even hundreds of domain search sites available, you can easily waste hours exploring all of them.

Instead of casting a wide net, do a targeted search based on your project.

Building an affiliate or AdSense site? Use a keyword-based domain site.

Creating a new business or blog? Find a memorable, brandable domain.

Below are the best domain search sites for any purpose.

For SEO and Niche Sites: Keyword-Rich Domains

Most domain search sites specialize in keyword-rich domains. Why? They’re in high demand and are easy to serve up to potential buyers.

Lean Domain Search is a quick way to find available domains containing your target keyword.

Bust a Name will combine your potential keywords and show you the available permutations.

Panabee is really basic but will show you a short list of options including keyword combinations, spelling variations, and keywords with simple modifiers like “go” or “it.”

For potentially higher-quality domains, try aftermarket site Sedo. The prices are higher, but the domains should be more desirable.

For New Companies/Projects: Brandable Domains

Brandable domains are not for SEO. They’re for people, not search engines, to remember.

To be brandable, a domain and business name must be short, unique, and memorable.

The domain should be less than ten letters, easily pronounceable (especially to English speakers), and be spelled how it sounds.

Real words with other meanings can work well but will be harder to brand with a new identity. Think Apple or Amazon. They’re also probably already taken or too expensive.

Wordoid is a great source of word-like domains that are pronounceable but available.

You can select how natural you want the domain to sound, in which language, how many characters (max), and a word or letter combo to include in the domain.

If you can’t find what you want on Wordoid, try Domainr.

Domainr will find available and very short domains, but you’ll be stuck with a tricky subdomain and extension combo like del.icio.us.

Give it a try, but Domainr is ideal for finding short URLs for existing sites.

For Quick Set Up: Domains with an Identity

If you want to hit the ground running, you can buy a package of a brandable domain with a logo and color scheme.

Both Stylate and BrandBucket resell domains with ready-made logos as a brand package.

Both sites sort domains by category, so you can browse the possibilities for your niche. Name and logo quality seem fairly equal. The biggest difference is price.

Every domain and logo package on Stylate is $250. BrandBucket’s packages start at $595 but most are multiple thousands of dollars. The latter does offer a larger selection however.

For Any Purpose: Domains Without Effort

You can find additional tools like the ones above on NameStation. Their biggest differentiator, however, is their domain name contests.

For just $35, you’ll get 100-300 suggestions of available domains based on a project description. Once ideas start coming in, you can vote on them to give the contest entrants more direction.

When you’re tapped out of ideas or just need a starting point, turn over your project to the masses and let them do the work for you.

Regardless of your project, you should be able to brainstorm domains with just one or two sites. What are your favorite domain search engines?

Lessons Learned from Building an Email List With 3,000+ Subscribers

A couple months ago, I launched another blog. Every time I release a new website of any form there’s an interesting mix of emotion that seems to wash over me.
Excitement: Who knows what this website might become! If it takes off, I could end up getting really rich or create a nice income stream for myself.

Nervousness: It takes time to create a proof of concept for a website. Even if you intend to send paid traffic to the website to speed up the process, it takes time to test and tweak offers before things start humming. What if my model is completely wrong and I waste 3 months?

Dread: Argh! I’m launching another website!?! Am I crazy? This is going to be a lot of work. I hope there’s a nice fat paycheck waiting for me at the end of this. But I worry that there won’t be.

Fortunately, this is not my first time launching a new blog and I’ve learned a thing or two over the years slogging it out online. One important lesson is how to build an email list with a few thousand subscribers. Since I’ll be trying both duplicate and improve upon the results I was able to generate with a previous website, I will share a few of my own personal insights gained while building an email list with 3,000+ subscribers. Implement a few of these simple simple steps to start growing your own list.

Things I’ve Learned

Add Email Intake Forms and Landing Pages: This is the simple part that you can always get right. Have an email intake form positioned on every page of your blog. Quite simply, as your content grows so will your email opt-ins because on each new page that is published will be a new opportunity to enroll a new subscriber.

I went against my own advice to add an email intake form across all pages of my blog initially and I have not been happy with the results thus far. I will be adding an intake form across all pages of my new blog shortly.

In addition to having an intake form located across all pages, I’ve also found it helpful to have a page dedicated to signing up to your list. This landing page should be linked to from your main website navigation to get as many people to visit the page as possible. On the landing page you can provide more detailed information about the benefits of subscribing to your list. Some people are pretty cautious about sharing their name and email address online. Giving folks that are on the fence more a bit information has always helped me squeeze a few more subscribers from my website traffic.

Provide a Bonus: This is another no brainer and something you’ve heard before if you’re researching the topic of email list building. Give people a free bonus when they subscribe to a list. I’ve given away a free e-book with strong success and a lot of other internet marketers simply provide a free 65 minute webinar. Free guides, videos, .mp3s, training or software is an easy option for encouraging folks to sign up.

Creating Your Unique Benefit: The prior two recommendations for building an email list are simple. You just do them. Creating your unique benefit can be a little bit more difficult and it’s something I’m currently struggling with for my latest blog. I need to figure out what I need to provide my visitors so they will hand over their contact information.

For my old blog with over 3,000+ subscribers this process was easy because I was part of the market I was blogging about. My bonus was to provide people that signed up with my list instructions on how to start their own SEO business. If you’re into SEO at all this is a topic is something you would be interested in learning more about. As a result, getting an email list built up was pretty easy.

For my new blog, while I’m interested in the topic of creating home-based businesses I haven’t been an active part of the community for very long. As a result, I’ve struggled with putting together a free bonus that people in this market will actually want to sign up for. I’ve tried providing a free video series that teaches home business owners how to outsource work employees abroad… I got a handful of signups, but it was clear that most folks were not interested in having that problem solved.

As you can see, creating a unique benefit for people to visit my website and sign up for my list is something I’m still struggling to come up with. However, I know once I do discover that unique benefit it will make building my new list much, much easier.

So what have I learned from building a list of 3,000+ names? Getting the technical stuff on right is the easy part. Coming up with a good reason for website visitors to become subscribers is not easy. But it is worth the effort.

4 Proven Ways to Gain an Edge Over Your Competitiors and Become a Blogging Authority

http://dynamic-tips.blogspot.com/

There’s something like a glitch in human psychology and you can use it to grow your blog.

What am I talking about? Check out this video to find out:

With that said, here are the four methods and how you can use them to become an authority in your market:

1) Build an Awesome Mailing List

Why it’s perceived as “difficult”:

• Takes time to build (no instant result).
• Autoresponder services cost monthly fees.
• Good email marketing requires your personal involvement.
• Adds the task of email writing to the existing tasks of blogging (more work)

Results you can get:

With a small mailing list of just under 500 subscribers, I launched a product that ended up making 6 figures in it’s lifetime. This shows some of the potential of email marketing. But more importantly, having a mailing list means that you have on-demand traffic, whenever you need it.

1000 subscribers on a mailing list can easily mean 100+ clicks on any link you send in an email. How useful is that?

How to Use Email Marketing to Get an Edge:

Start building your mailing list.

Right now.

Make Twitter followers, Facebook fans, Google+ connections and RSS subscribers a distant second priority to getting more subscribers.

To turn your blog into a list-building machine, add opt-in forms to:

• Your homepage
• The top of the sidebar
• The bottom of each post
• Optionally add a lightbox or slide-in box as well.

Building a mailing list really isn’t all that tricky, since you’re already blogging. You don’t really have to change anything and you do whatever you’ve been doing before, to get traffic. The only difference: now you’ll be capturing some of your traffic onto your mailing list and you’ll get ever increasing amounts of recurring visitors, whenever you promote a post to your list.

As for the email marketing itself, just follow the number one rule: be cool to your subscribers. Don’t send emails that you wouldn’t be happy to receive yourself.

2) Create Attention-Grabbing Videos

Why it’s perceived as “difficult”:

• Requires a different and new set of tools (compared to writing articles).
• Comes with a bit of a learning curve.
• Is a lot less anonymous than text and can make you feel exposed.

Results you can get with video marketing:

Video gets a lot more attention than text. This helps engage your visitors and keep them on your site and it helps increase your conversion rate on sales-pages. It can also be useful for decreasing your bounce rate and getting more clicks from Google, when you get video thumbnails listed in the search results.

As an example of how powerful video can be, I did an experiment with my business partner. We spent a total of only two days to create:

• A video for YouTube, to attract traffic.
• A video to convert people who clicked on the link below the YouTube video into subscribers.
• A video to make an offer for a simple, low-priced product.

Result? We made $934 in product sales. Not life-changing, but a nice result of a total of three videos and just two days of work invested.

How to Use Video Marketing to Get an Edge:

If you’ve never made a video, start off by doing a few quick screencast videos using screenr (a free and very easy to use tool).

Alternatively, use your webcam and simply record yourself talking about a topic. If you can write a blog post, you can make a video. You’re delivering the same content, just in a different format.

Yes, it will take a few attempts before your videos start looking awesome. In fact, if you’re anything like me, your first few videos will be pretty terrible. But with a bit of practice, you’ll get the hang of it (and come to think of it, writing also required some practice to get to where you are now, right?).

Learn how to make videos (by starting right now) and very soon, you’ll have an incredibly valuable skill you can use to grow your blog.

3) Host Fantastic Webinars

Why it’s perceived as “difficult”:

• Requires that you do a presentation, similar to video.
• It’s a live event. Many people are terrified of making mistakes, especially in front of a live audience.
• Stage fright applies to a virtual audience as well.

Results you can get:

One of my first webinars, held to just under 100 people, netted $3,642 in commissions. And all the attendees loved the webinar!

A decent result for about three hours of work, I’d say.

Also, you can achieve unheard of levels of engagement on webinars and I know nothing more effective for “creating fans”. I’ve now hosted several webinars where the audience was so engaged that more than 100 people were still online, listening, participating and asking questions, 3.5 hours into the webinar.

And just to be clear: I didn’t plan on doing such long webinars. They just kept going, because we kept getting questions and comments and everyone was having a blast!

Another great advantage is that you can host webinars and then turn that content into products, or you can offer coaching webinars as products in themselves.

How to Use Webinars to Get an Edge:

Just do it.

The biggest obstacle for most people is their fear of screwing up, in front of a live audience.

In reality, this fear is unjustified. First, things rarely go badly wrong and second, the attendees are usually very understanding.

Open your webinar with something along the lines of “I’m new to this and I’m pretty nervous, but I have some really important things I want to tell you about”. You’ll see that if you really have the intention of delivering great content, the audience members will totally have your back, even if things don’t go smoothly.

Also keep in mind that you don’t have to do webinars on your own. Invite guest experts and leave the major part of the presentation to them, or team up with other bloggers in your niche, to share the stage with you (and make some great connections at the same time).

4) Create Insanely Valuable Products

Why it’s perceived as “difficult”:

• Creating a product is more work that writing a few blog posts.
• You invest effort upfront and hope it will pay off, when you release the product (certain risk involved).
• Fear of selling.

Results you can get:

My first self-created product sold 2,102 copies and made more than $100K in it’s lifetime. This may not be a typical result, but it shows what can be done, even for someone without experience in product creation.

Having a product also opens up one of the best traffic sources on the Internet, for you: affiliates. With a product, you can have an affiliate program and get affiliates to send you massively valuable traffic.

In my opinion, your own product is the most valuable asset you can have, as an affiliate.

How to Use Product Creation to Get an Edge:

Start by creating a simple free product, such as a report. You can use this as an opt-in incentive, to build your mailing list and in addition, it can serve as “product creation practice”.

Once you have a few subscribers, ask them some questions. Find out about their biggest problems. Find out what they want and need. Then, create a product based on that and sell it.

This approach eliminates some of the risk from product creation. If you base your product on the answers you get from your potential customers, it’s much more likely that your product will be well received than if you just think of something all by yourself.

Obviously, product creation is quite a broad topic and I can’t cover everything here. But as with all things, the most important part is to get started and then trial-and-error your way forward.

The Challenge

Here’s my challenge to you: pick one of these four methods (or maybe one I haven’t though of myself) and dedicate 30 days to it.

Yes, it’s a bit more difficult than just keeping on doing what you’re already used to, but that’s exactly why it’s easier to get good results with it.

Think about email marketing, video marketing, webinars and product creation. You know that most bloggers don’t do these things. You know that most people reading this post won’t follow through and actually do the 30-day challenge. And that’s exactly where the power of this approach lies. Do it, and you’re instantly in a different league.

So, Google PageRank has been updated again this week, just as expected. And so far, the update does not seem to be a major one - but then again, give it some time. The last update took place in August 2012, and the one before that on May 2012. So it's pretty obvious that Google is now rolling out these updates quarterly, i.e. after every three months. So the next update is expected in the first 10 days of February 2013. We congratulate everyone whose PR didn't drop. And for those whose did, there's a few things you can do which we will mention. And again, keep in mind that Google PR should not a priority for you - read on to see why.

This time around, this blog (MBT) successfully retained a PageRank of 4 (Alhamdulillah), and same goes for our sister blog Smart Earning Methods which retained its PR of 2 as well. But between this update and the previous one, we have been a work on other aspects, so as mentioned earlier, Google PR wasn't a priority.

What does PageRank do?

As most of you might already know, PageRank is Google's way of assigning a grade to a website from 1 to 10. Google rates itself at PR 9, so that drops the ceiling somewhat. And for blogs with little or no investment (such as this one), the maximum PR achieved yet is 6. Blogs such as TechCrunch, Mashable, Search Engine Land etc are corporate websites, run by an organization. They have multiple authors, as well as marketers and managers who manage and promote the website at the back-end - all of which requires investment. So for a low-investment blog, the target should be 6.

As to the question of what PR actually does, well it's just a way of rating websites. Website with a high PR get crawled and indexed more frequently. For example, a PR 7 website might get crawled several times in a minute, whereas a PR 4 or 5 website might be crawled just once per minute.

PR is also one of the factors advertisers look for in a blog, but is by no means the ONLY factor. There are a lot of other factors they look at first.

What to do?

Has your PR dropped? Don't worry. You can pick it up still. Lots of people think hundreds of backlinks is the way to go. That couldn't be further from the truth. Instead of having hundreds of backlinks, it's better to just concentrate on having just a few very high quality backlinks (PR 4 or higher). So stop wasting your time commenting on low PR blogs for backlinks. Rather, write a good guest post on a high PR blog. Adopt this practice, and you'll see your PR increase in the next update.

Besides that, you should concentrate on the quality of your page, as well as some of the basic SEO, so that Google recognizes your efforts. Here is a list of some of our best SEO tips you should follow.

What should your priority be?

As mentioned earlier, PR is just ONE of the factors advertisers look for in a blog. But there are other more important factors as well. The first thing they look for is your readership, i.e. whether you have an active community of followers who participate on your blog. Then comes social media fan following, and even though such stats could be inflated (by buying likes), it is the activity about your blog that counts.

Next comes traffic stats, and Alexa ranking. Advertisers look for how many people visit a site daily, and Alexa is a good stats provider. And this is what we've been concentrating on, instead of PR. As a result, MBT has reached an Alexa of 7k worldwide (one of the few Google blogs to reach below 10k), and SEM has reached 23k Alhamdulillah. Google PR should come after all these factors.

15 Alternatives to Google AdSense

http://dynamic-tips.blogspot.com/

15 Alternatives to Google AdSense

15 ALTERNATIVE AD NETWORKS TO GOOGLE ADSENSE

1. AdBrite
2. Bidvertiser
3. Chitika
4. Infolinks
5. Intellilinks
6. Pocket Cents
7. Kontera
8. Clicksor
9. Exit Junction
10. Dynamic Oxygen
11. Media.net
12. Linkshare
13. Direct Advertising
14. BuySellAds
15. Adclickmedia

• AdBrite - is currently one of the best alternatives there is to Google's adsense. While they do not offer the same large selection of ad formats that Clicksor and Google Adsense provide you they do offer the most commonly used ones. In addition they offer inline page links with have some great click through ratios as well as interstitial full page ads which offer an excellent way to monetize all traffic to your site not just traffic that clicks on your ads. Their payouts are also very competitive. They have more relaxed terms and conditions than Adsense and are much more accepting of smaller publishers including bloggers.

• Bidvertiser - Bidvertiser is an excellent alternative to Google and offers some intriguing ad formats including what they refer to as free design. This lets you specify the look and dimensions of your text ads. While a useful feature I have not investigated how well it works but imagine that while it sounds good on paper it could result in lower priced ads being displayed. I.e. most advertisers will probably want to keep control of the layout of their ads and so turn off support for Free design ads. All the standard ad formats exist, however, and the payouts are excellent. Pop-under ads and XML feeds are also supported.

• Chitika - was founded in 2003 and is the industry's leading impulse merchandising company. Chitika was founded in May 2003 and is based in Massachusetts. Chitika (pronounced CHIH-tih-ka) helps web publishers generate revenue using innovative publisher-side advertising and merchandising solutions and services.

• Infolinks - A relative newcomer to the scene Infolinks specializes in In-Text Advertizing. That is it indexes your page looking for keywords and phrases that are not currently links and converts them into advertizing links. When a user places their mouse over the link a box opens up showing the ad. If they click on the link you get paid. It is very simple and works very effectively. The nice part is that you can use Infolinks to compliment an existing advertizing campaign on your website. For example you can show banner ads withAdBrite or Bidvertiser and show text links with Infolinks. Or you can even show text links with both AdBrite and Infolinks together on the same page to maximize your revenue.

• Intellilinks - is a similar service to infolinks above but well worth trying. Intellilinks specializes in placing organic text links across an ever-growing network of websites in order to build rank and traffic for advertisers and increased revenue for publishers. Intellilinksfocuses on providing cutting edge technology, while keeping the network seamless and secure to bring results to their clients and revenue to their publishers.

• Pocket Cents - A relative new comer to the field is Pocket Cents. Pocket Cents has been built from the ground up as a Click Banner provider. Specializing in automatic focus on local markets Pocket Cents offers an intriguing alternative to adsense/adwords. While unlikely to replace your entire creative portfolio, Pocket Cents does off an attractive alternative for banner ads. It could also act as a good alternative ad provider for backfill from one of the larger networks.

• Kontera - works in a similar way to Infolinks above, however, they have been around for much longer. Traditionally it was hard to get accepted by Kontera but they seem to have relaxed their restrictions of late. This is especially true for website publishers and affiliate marketers that do not have high daily page impressions.

• Clicksor - is one of the current leaders of the small publisher Adsense competition. They have payouts upto a market leading 85% and unlike a number of alternatives the cost per click bid values are high enough that you can earn a decent income. They are also, in my experience, much more tollerant than Google. Their terms and conditions suggest that you should only place one copy of their code on a page but as long as you only place a single pop-up or DHTML code on a page they seem happy to let you place many context sensitive ad blocks on a single site.

• Exit Junction - is relatively new and, I believe, a spin off from the now defunct Revenue Pilot. While Revenue Pilot has stopped running, however, Exit Junction is going from strength to strength.
