Lee Odden has an interesting post on his online marketing blog titled Lowdown on Spamming Social Media sites. I’ve used these sites in the past not really for a source of traffic , although they can be used for traffic, but as a method to get the search engines to crawl a new site. What I’ve found is even though you may get some short term traffic from these sites that traffic is usually not very targeted and as a result does not convert into your needed actions.

I wrote a post on some observations I made about the Adsense clicking habits of females in my office a few weeks ago. Basically I noticed that the females I obeserved tend to click the ads on the search engines more than males. Ana Bryce picked up the post in her psychology of Adsense post and hypothesized that females may tend to do this and that she thought females may be more apt to click on ads at the end of an article where males may tend to click during the middle of the article or even before. Now none of this is meant to offend either sex as I could care who performs an Adsense click as long as they make one. I’m just trying to understand the triggers that may entice one group of people to perform a certain action over another group.

This was a very interesting observation and one I thought may have some merit, so as an internet marketer I decided to test out Ana’s theory. I have a couple of sites that do okay and attract a majority of female visitors, so I went ahead and set up channels for each location in the site. I should have done that before this test, but I was acting lazy and taking shortcuts again so I had only used the URL channel for both of these sites. Read the rest of this entry

Well, it seems as if the success story behind PlentyOfFish keeps growing. You basically have a very ugly site that I don’t see how any one even thinks of going to, wel except that its a free dating site which is almost unheard of on the Internet. Looks like a lot of people are stil interested. In Markus’s blog he states that its giving the like of Yahoo Personals a run for the money.

Markus shocked the world last summer when he made statements on several internet forums on how PlentyOfFish earns over $10K every day with just Google Adsense. There was a lot of debate on whether it was a true statement or not, but from looking at Google’s earnings in the PPC market, I suppose its feasible. Way to go Markus, keep up the good work, but please upgrade the graphics on the site, you should have the money to pay to have it done by now.
