Boy I am a music lover. I love almost any kind of music (songs) which feel good to my ears. Now you cannot buy all types of music/songs except that you get pirated copies (I do not support this). So where can you find such a large collection of music and songs. One of the best solutions for it to hear to Online Radios. So where should you head to?

I found the exact thing I wanted (thanks to John Chow). It’s a Online Radio site where you can hear almost any kinda music may it be Hip Hop, Metal, Country, Classical, Blues well almost anything. I am now in love with this website. When I first heard all the songs there I knew this was it. Does it sound I am praising a lot? Ah! It will sound like that because you see I am music lover. I like anything which feels good. I exactly have no specific choice of music so until it feels good, its the best. When I came to know about this wonderful Online Radio I told my room mate to check it out and he said wow! and told me to tune into it everyday. He is a more of a music lover than me but he has specific choices. You love music you should check out this Online Radio. Check out the Screen shot of the website below.

As most of you know, I have been improving my affiliate marketing skills for some time. I have got some success and I have been experimenting on some affiliate networks. Recently I have come across a very unique and quite promising Affiliate Network. Its called T3Leads. I guess quite a few people here have already heard about it. Today we are here to review this unique affiliate network which promises lots of money with better conversion.

T3Leads is quite unique compared to other networks. Most other affiliate network are PPA (Pay Per Action) systems. PPA means you get paid when the people you referred take some action which is mostly buy a product (softwares, e-books etc). The conversion rates are quite low. Looking at the trends so far, it has been calculated that most people buy a product after visiting the sales page more than 7 times i.e. you need to have a person visit sales page more than 7 times before you can convince him to buy a product. This is just average and the effort needed varies and mostly is more than normal average. Now comparing with PPL system of T3Leads, T3Leads promise better conversions.

The system T3Leads provide is PPL (Pay Per Lead). A lead is different from a buyer. A lead actually do not need to buy until he need the product or service. T3Leads needs verified leads which is provided to the companies it is affiliated to. It is affiliated to finance related companies providing Auto Loans, Payday Loans, Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Credit Cards, Credit Repairs etc. The company needs leads (people) who would most likely need the services provided by them. T3Leads acts as a mediator in providing the leads to these companies. You as a affiliate need to send as many leads as you can. These leads are verified and you get paid for good leads. The conversion rate is much better than PPA as the person you referred has nothing to buy directly (Its companies tension to convince them to use their service – well people are worried about their financial future so most end up using their services). T3Leads promises a conversion of 1:6 to 1:9 which can be considered better than the 1:100 (mostly seen – may be better but if you can really convince people) in PPA.

T3Leads also has good earning. You can earn anything up to 150$. If you compare it with other most used money making methods like PPC you will see that PPL provides with better earning and has almost the same good conversion of PPC. T3Leads looks quite promising if you can generate leads. As they need leads for financial services you already has a upper hand. As I said before people are worried about their financial future (always), they are worried about their credits, recession and loans and not to mention less learned (you can call fools if you like) about maintaining and organizing their money. Below are some of the advantages of using T3Leads which will help you decide if to chose them or not?

• T3leads does not resell generated leads. Our affiliate program directly cooperates with a large network of banks and other financial institutions. They sell generated leads through a unique auction system that allows our affiliates to make maximum profits. They pay for each customer sent to them when they respond to the offers for qualified products and services.
• They provide affiliates with an arsenal of promo tools that are constantly being refreshed by our creative team for maximum performance. You can work with both public web sites, and private web sites own by you.
• The high quality of T3lead promo tools ensures high conversion rates in our affiliate network. T3leads guarantee the highest conversion rates in the industry – ranging from 1:6 to 1:9.
• Affiliates can order free ePassporte cards for greater convenience. Major partners can get a VIP ePassporte card free of charge, with a total maximum transaction limit of 10K per day.
• Friendly affiliate support is always available, and ready with answers to any question. The support team can also help with technical problems. You can find answers to commonly asked questions on their forum.

Final Words This a promising unique affiliate service. It has best of PPC (better conversion) and PPA (better earnings). If you are already into affiliate marketing then this is going to be a piece of cake. If you are starting now then you can use this as a starter. If you are not sure or want to ask more about it (I have not mentioned many things here) then leave a comment. If you are in finincial niche you should Sign Up and give it a try. But you must remember one thing, like any other method of earning money this requires effort too.

Do you want to know how well your keywords are ranked in Search Engine? I bet you want to. Probably most of you have tried SEO tools which show keyword ranks in Google or Yahoo. You might already be using Google Webmasters and you already know what all keywords rank well on Google. I have used them myself. But what I really wanted id to track Search Engine ranks of my keywords (not just Google or Yahoo). Hopefully I have got a nice Keyword Tracking service which only costs me 0.00$.

This service allows me to track the rank of 20 of my keywords or keyphrase on search engines. It also gives me stats on how my website or blog rank against 3 of the competitors website or blog. It is very simple and easy to use software and its fun.

I do not want to create more suspense, so let’s break the ice. This service is a newly started SEO keyword tracking service called Rockin’ SEO. Rockin’ SEO is brought to you by the creators of ReviewMyWeb and ValueMyWeb. They are a team of Web developers with a passion for building and sharing widgets with the rest of the Web community. So far it is the simplest keyword tracking software.

Below are some of the salient features of this service.

• You need to pay nothing. I guess that means free.
• Track rank of Keywords and Keyphrase on Google, Yahoo and Live.
• Track up to 3 competitors rank for free.
• You are allowed to Track 20 Keywords or Keyphrase. You can increase the number by simply requesting them.
• The interface is very simple.
• No need of APIs or downloads.

What they say

Tracking your keyword rankings sounds simple, but we know it can be a pain. We used to do it manually across all the major search engines like Google and Yahoo! and it felt like a lot of wasted time. There are other keyword trackers out there, but we haven’t found one we liked that is FREE, simple to use, and didn’t require us to download anything or have API keys.

Why I like it and recommend it?

Here is my part of story. I knew that I was getting good traffic from Google and little less but from Yahoo as well. Live Search was dry land for me. My blog was not getting indexed properly. Lately indexing has started. Live search is different from Google and Yahoo and is little strict on what to rank and what not to. So far I was thinking my blog does not rank for any keywords or keyphrase on Live. But when I inserted some keyphrases (taken from my Google Webmaster Accounts) in Rockin’ SEO system, the result said my Blog rank for 3 keyphrases in Live Search (there may be more). One was in 1st page and 2 in 2nd page.

The result showed some interesting things to me like my blog ranks 2 in both Google and Live for the terms “the best ram optimizer”, ranks 4 in Google and 1 in Yahoo for the terms “free agent desk review”. Now these data will help me rank better for those keywords or keyphrases. I think this tool will help you out to rank better on search engine, so I recommend it to you.

Conclusion: A must try for every one willing to have better SEO and a better ranked Website or Blog. It’s free and won’t hurt trying it out. From now on you will not be required to pay for SEO services. You will be saving money and as someone said penny saved in a penny earned.

This is first post of my Google knowledge series. I will now tell you how Google can be help you make money online. I will review two of the Google products. One is the well known money making method Google Adsense and other is a result of Google’s recent acquisition of DoubleClick.

First let’s talk about Google Adsense.

Probably most of the webmasters know about Google Adsense. It is considered the most easy way of earning money (some people may have different views). It is very simple using Google AdSense. You just go to Google Adsense homepage and apply for Google Adsense program (you need a Google or Gmail Account or you can make it at that moment). Once you are taken into their program you just need to put some codes on you Website or Blog and Ads start appearing on your Website or Blog. Google Adsense is a PPC and PPM service. PPC means pay-per-click i.e. you gat paid when someone click on the ads (do not even think of clicking ads on you own website, you will be banned and get no earning). PPM means paid-per-thousand impression. They rarely pay by PPM method. You will get paid by PPM method only if you are getting good click conversion rate.

Now you know how Google Adsense works. But the main question is, whether it is for you or not? I believe that every webmaster should give Google Adsense a try. You never know if it will work for you or not until you try. If you website got a decent traffic (more than 500 visitors per day) than you should give Adsense a try. I have seen people earning more than 100$ per day from Adsense. I know of a Blogger who earned some 999$ from Adsense in one day (he has also got high traffic of more than 10,000 visitors per day).

My Take and Review: I personally consider Adsense to be a good method of earning money. I have not earned much from it but that is due to my own faults. I used it on my first blog which died in two months due to bad hosting. But from that blog I earned nearly 3$. Then I put Adsense here on this blog just 2 months ago. I have not given much expose to Google Adsense but I believe now it will perform well. This blog is doing well and my traffic is increasing slowly. If you believe Adsense will work for you, just sign-up for it and start making money.

Now we will talk about the other new method. It is new (actually it is not) so I have not much of Information. This new service is called Google Affiliate.

Google now into affiliate market! sounds interesting. Those who are current member of Adsense might already be informed about this service. Google mailed all of its Adsense member, letting them know that Google Referrals will die in August and who ever wants, can join the new Google Affiliate. This service is a result of Google acquisition of DoubleClick in March 2008 which already owns Performics. Performics was founded as the first full-service affiliate network in 1998 and was acquired by DoubleClick in 2004. Today Performics Affiliate operates as Google Affiliate Network and remains committed to delivering affiliate channel growth for advertisers and publishers. So now Google owns Performics and it was modified into Google Affiliate.

Google affiliate sign-up and sign-in takes place at ConnectCommerce website. ConnectCommerce is the reporting and tracking platform that powers Google Affiliate Network. Google is dedicated to providing the best possible user experience, so it integrated Google Affiliate Network brand into ConnectCommerce website. It is to be noted that it is not currently integrated with Google Accounts and you have to continue to use your ConnectCommerce username and password to log in. If anyone is interested in affiliate market he can give this new service a try. Below is some info from the Google Affiliate page.

Google Affiliate Network offers:

• Industry-leading advertiser and publisher service
• Rigorous network quality standards
• Reliable conversion tracking
• Detailed reporting
• Automated payments to publishers
• Simple link and creative delivery tools
• Flexible commissions
• Access to top brands on the web

My Take: Performics is already an established affiliate network (though we do not know about it) so it is clear that they would provide good service. Now it is acquired by Google which means it will be getting more users. I will be signing up for this service to test it. There sign-up form looks more like a legal document. They are strict in accepting members. If any one of you wants to know about this service visit Google Affiliate page or the new Google Affiliate blog (there are only 2 posts).
