By Melanie Mendelson

Valuable Advice When Investing in Domain Names

By R Scott Hall

Domain names, when wisely invested, can be quite lucrative, just as investing in real estate would be. It’s picking the right name, following the registration requirements and selling or trading at the right time. With any investment, you want to be well informed of exactly how and when you can turn a profit, and there are important considerations before you want to even make your purchase.

The shortest name is almost always the better option. Phrases are OK, and some of them will get a lot of hits to your site or get you plenty of offers for decent money, but keep in mind when people are doing searches, they usually just put one or two words. The less words, the more hits you are likely to get.

A Beginner’s Guide to Making Money on the Internet with AdSense

By Douglas Hanna

If you’re interested in making money with Internet marketing, the fastest and easiest way to do this, in my opinion, is with Google AdSense.

If you’re not familiar with AdSense, they are the little ads that you see on many webpages that consist of a headline, two lines of text and a URL.

When you put AdSense on your webpages and people click on them, Google pays you for each click. Some of these clicks pay as much as $2 or $3 while others might pay as little as five cents or less.

Generic will kill you. Trying to post a blog about being a stay-at-home mom might find fierce competition.

3D Box Shots

By Sunil Tanna

3D box shots (also known as “virtual box shots,” “virtual boxes,” “box covers,” or even “ecovers”) are images that appear to represent a 3D image of a product box. They are in fact just graphics (usually in PNG or JPEG format, but occasionally in other formats such as GIF, BMP or even Flash) associated with a product which is in reality completely non-physical and intangible, such as software, ebooks, video or music downloads, a subscription to a membership site or ezine, etc.
