First it was banner ads, then Google AdSense and now, the latest way to make money on your web site could very well be RSS feeds. Say what? I said: RSS is hot and you should be using it to drive eyeballs to your site.

Here’s how it works:

Depending upon who you ask, RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary”. Regardless of what you call it, RSS is a way to automatically publish (syndicate) someone else’s content on your web site. Now don’t worry, that’s not the same as stealing someone else’s content. There is nothing illegal about using RSS feeds. In fact, the publisher of the content wants you to have it show up on your site and that’s why he or she makes it available as an RSS feed to begin with.

So what’s in it for all parties concerned?

Using RSS is a win-win for both the publisher of the content, who gets their name out to potentially millions of sites and you, the web site owner who is pulling the content onto your site.

Content, by the way, means anything that a publisher decides it means. Typical content includes news headlines, new product update notices, blog summaries and lots of other stuff. It’s the “content” portion of the equation that’s good news for you.

Show me the money

One of the best features of hosting RSS feeds is that it gives your site an endless source of freshly updated and relevant content. This content acts as natural search engine spider bait which they will fill their little tummies on and come back for more every day. Their appetite for fresh content keep your rankings up.

Sticky Loyalty isn’t a new Ben & Jerry’s flavor, but it should be the goal of any serious webmaster who wants to create a web site that visitors return to over and over again. The use of carefully selected RSS feeds can make that happen by offering unique content which can’t be found anywhere else.

Now please don’t make the mistake of thinking “But they can get that same content at the publisher’s site, why should they come to mine?”. Just build it and they will come! Sorry, I couldn’t resist saying that, but it’s true. In addition to the RSS content, which they surely can get somewhere else, you are going to add your own sticky loyalty stuff that’s all about whatever your site is all about to begin with. That combination of your own content and the RSS feed makes visiting you a purely unique experience that can’t be found anywhere else.

You don’t have to be a member of the Geek Squad to start showing RSS feeds on your site. Just visit any of the links below and get busy using RSS to make mo’ money.

As a blog or site owner, you can make some cash with Google’s AdSense pretty easily. To maximise your potential earnings, here are some tips that may help you:

1. Create Well-designed Sites

People are impatient and will not tolerate poorly designed websites. Make sure that your site’s colour scheme is overly gaudy, glaring, or plain hard-to-read. Use a readable font size, and always make use of bulleted lists, dividers and make your paragraphs short whenever possible.

Never create an overloaded website and always focus your content. Ensure that your navigation is easy to understand and that the user will intuitively know where to click to get to where he wants. A good well-designed website is the first step in attracting more visitors.

2. Place AdSense Ads On Pages With Content

Content in this case means text, because images and other media may not return targeted ads. Only text is used by Google’s targeting technology to determine what kind of ads will be served.

3. Make Them Prominent

Put your ads in a place where your visitors will have a high chance of looking at them. For example, place them in the middle of your content, or above the fold of the page, where they can see your ad before scrolling down.

4. Customise Your Ad Colours

Google allows you to customise the colour of ads, so why don’t you? There are two schools of thought here: You either make the ads look like part of your site, or make them look very outstanding. For variety’s sake, you can even rotate up to 4 different color palettes for a particular ad.

5. Use Appropriate Ad Formats

AdSense has a number of ad formats available for you to choose from, so make use of them to create ads that suit your layout best.

6. Double-check Framed Ads

If your page uses frames, check that you have selected the Framed page checkbox on the Ad Layout page. Otherwise, AdSense cannot gather the proper information about your site and will not be able to serve targeted ads.

In fact, I highly recommend that you place this line in the AdSense code of all your ads anyway:

google_page_url = document.location;

It’s just for the simple reason that while your site may be frames-free, someone might have clicked through to your site while in someone else’s frames, and your ads may not be showing targeted ads anymore.

7. Use channels to track performance

Channels are the best tool to analyse your ad performance. Use them to determine the performance of a page or site. Test your colour schemes, placement and formats with channels to tell which are the performers that you want to keep. Remember to give your channels descriptive names that you will be able to understand.

It is really no secret that top blogger Jason Calacanis is a make-money-fast expert. The man is best remembered for a controversial post which revealed how he was on course to making a million dollars from Adsense.

However what many people are not aware of are the make money secrets that Calacanis uses to pull in such huge traffic and inevitably such high Adsense earnings.

There is one particular make money fast link generation technique that he uses that almost magically creates thousands of one way links pointing at his blog post in a matter of hours. Yes I said thousands. Yes I am aware that it takes most webmasters and bloggers years to accumulate 1,000 links. Years of sweat, blood, desperate emails and persuasion to get 1,000 lousy links pointing at your site. This guy does it in hours. No emails, no persuasion.

For months now I’ve been closely studying his moves to try and discover Calacanis make money secrets that he himself would never divulge. I have then tested some of these techniques myself with astounding results. I am still trying to perfect these amazing methods but what I can tell you is that here is a man who has studied human nature and what triggers high traffic to blogs and then he has thrown his emotions and feelings out of the window and fully concentrated his every waking hour to generating idea after idea in line with those principals.

The results speak for themselves and this blogger has been able to make loads of money very fast from Adsense and other direct advertisers at his blog.
