How They Make Money From Web Sites

Recently I came across an article that was discussing "the art" of making money online. Blogging today, has been a rapid trend among netizens. Most of them have utilized this passion or hobby into becoming a source of income. In fact, one doesn't have to be a blogger to do so. Owning a website, knowing your audience, catering to what is in demand helps you to better improve you revenue. The whole subject of making money online is too broad as it branches out to many different ways.

In this article, we'll look into the different keywords used, as well as the insight of online advertising. Many of you would have came across the term Pay Per Click, Cost Per Action, In-Text Advertising and many more.

Before going into these programs, let's identify who is what in this arena. For instance, I would like to include advertisements on my website. I'm enrolled with Google AdSense program. Company A uses Google to advertise their products. whilst Google displays these advertisements on my site. So in this case, I will be known as a Publisher whilst Company A will be known as Advertiser.

Pay Per Click [PPC]
As the name suggests, PPC is an advertising model where advertisers pay you [Pubilsher] when a click is made on their ad. Google AdSense for instance, is a Pay Per Click service that displays ad on your web site based on the content that you display. Google AdSense is known to provide content based advertisements. Which is, when you write about camera's, they display advertisements from Advertisers who are in the business of dealing with camera's. The monetary flow is as same as every other agency:Advertiser pays the agency, upon click, agency pays you and take a cut.

Cost Per Action [CPA]
Cost Per Action or CPA is an online advertising model where the advertiser pays publisher for each specified action. This actions can come in the form of a form submission, filling up surveys, registering to a mailing list and etc. This advertising somewhat utilizes the idea of barter trading with visitors. Say for instance you provide a content on your site [e.g. eBook, Music, Video]. Using CPA Advertising, you could force your users to fill in the survey [or form] in order to access your content [the music]. This is done using a Content Gateway. Apparently this is a very successful advertising method. Put it this way, if the visitor wants to download that song from your site, fill in the survey or leave. The survey might just be worth USD1 each.

I wrote this article after coming across an amazing eBook tutorial on generating revenue using CPA advertising. It includes the entire step from starting the site up to marketing it to get visitors. It's not a gimmick, i've done my site and registered with the suggested CPA agency. The link to download the tutorial is included at the end of this article. As a return of my effort on writing this article, I hope you can fill in my survey to download that eBook tutorial that i used. After all, i'm not asking you to purchase it.

SMART Tag & Touch 'N Go

The SMART Tag, or better known as "System Membayar Automatic Rangkaian Tol", is an on board unit device that automatically transmits your Touch N' Go card information [RFID] to a receiving beacon at the toll gate. This procedure allows monetary deduction to be done automatically instead of having you to roll down the window and physically touching your Touch N' Go card to the reader. Thanks to this system, transactions can be processed 4 times faster than a cash lane.

Why is this technology considered to be left behind? First of all, the device requires a 9V battery to beam its signal. The only benefit of the battery would be that it gives you real time balance information of your Touch 'N Go card. Assuming that your device ran out of power source, you are required to manually touch your card to the reader. I wonder if PLUS is selling batteries at their toll booths.

So how can this be improved? Why not implement a reader 6 feet tall beacon that scans for RFID presence from the side of the car? Instead of having your tag to beam the information, why not let it be read. Technology has advanced so much that today you can even print out RFID tags, which could be utilized by high powered antenna's. Even car parks these days implement this technology to identify season parking drivers. Now, PLUS merely wants to make SMART Tag more convenient by allowing drivers to travel at higher speed whilst passing through the toll booths, which I would say is fair yet pointless. This is as the SMART Tag device costs RM130 today. Why the increment from RM100?

Marketing for SMART Tag is equally as bad. SMART Tag is so difficult to obtain that at every toll booths that you stop by, they're usually out of it. Sale location for this device is even more ridiculous. Who would want to head all the way to KLIA to purchase SMART Tag? SMART Tag is being placed at KLIA instead of central KL which has a high population of road users.

Hopefully soon enough they'll be able to identify these weakness that they've been practicing for the past decade and make every drivers life a better one.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act [DMCA] is a law in the United States that criminalizes the production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures [a.k.a. Digital Rights Management(DRM)] that control access to copyrighted works.

Long story short, DMCA is the plagiarism from a copyright material. If you post or share a copyright material, DMCA is the law that allows your website [be it a blog or forum to be shut down]. Since implementation, DMCA has been criticized for making it easy for copyright material owners to get web site owners to take down the infringing content and links when it may not even be a copyright material.

When web masters receive DMCA notice, very few of them fight the cause and give in by taking down the related material. The question of linking to a site containing infringing material has been a hot debate among netizens. According to Stephan Ott of LinksandLaw.com states that "linking to infringing content is unlawful and that is also what most of the courts say". In Germany, things work differently as ISP's are not required to reveal the identity of its user. The law in Germany states that "An Internet access provider is not principally obligated to reveal the name and address of an Internet user who offers downloads of music files on the Internet, thus violating the copyrights or other rights of third parties", the Higher Regional Court's of Frankfurt wrote. In its ruling (PDF) handed down today, the Court overturned a lower court order to have the name of an Internet user who operated a music server via a German provider made known to a music firm (reference no.: 11 U 51/04).

Recently, google shut down my blog upon numerous DMCA notice. Word of advice, if you're ever planning to start a blog and go global, get your own private hosting or blog service from a country that does not comply with the DMCA. Countries that does not comply with DMCA includes China & Russia. The European Union (EU) countries uses EDEC.

& Then Ther's The Remix...

It's about time that I came out with my own remix. I dedicated a day to learn the trick and trade of remixing...End result?well, somehow managed to "somewhat" master the art of beat mapping using Sony Acid Pro 7.

Song choice? Recently I was over at youtube and found a clip by our very own local artiste Caprice Featuring Annatasha - Thinking Of You. I find the track really good. Something that I don't usually conclude when it comes to a Malaysian track. The only down-side is the repeated Celcom promotion on the verse...

Nuff said..Here's the outcome : Caprice Feat Annatasha - Thinking Of You(DJ SouL ReMix)
