Getting an income from a web-site Jul 16, 2009
Do all you people suffering economically in Dubai......and elsewhere....realise that you can set up a web-site to earn you some supplementary income?

Here are examples of various income means :-
[1] Affiliate Marketing ..........gold-jewellery.net is an AFFILIATE of Diamonds International , which sells excellent jewellery at very competitive prices. If you click from gold-jewellery.net to Diamonds International and buy an item, the former gets a small commission!!

[2] Google Ads.......Look at www.visit-dubai.co.uk ; www.visit-the-world.co.uk and www.visit-wales.co.uk .
There are Google Ads around the perimeter....put there FREE by Google. If people click those Ads and open them , the web-site owner gets a small revenue.

[3] Direct selling of a web-site. Needs no explaining !!

To get the RIGHT DOMAIN for a commercial web-site , look at the domains for sale on www.visit-dubai.co.uk .
They are .COM , .NET and .CO.UK domains in the main. They will CLIMB Google rankings with the right content.

So...get a domain or two or three and write MINI-WEB SITES , then put Google Ads around the edge. When they are clicked by interested customers or searchers ...YOU EARN MONEY !

I got $217 US dollars from Google last month !!
Pays for beer and a couple of nights out!!

Hi RK. How many hours a week do you spend maintaining your sites and the click through agreements to make that money?

Also you have to pay for domain names/email addresses yearly and web-hosting every month, right?

If people work from 9 to 5 would they have the time to spare to make a bit of beer money in this way? I set up business web sites for my old company and also for a friend in the distant past (the first one was all handcoded HTML in text files, no Dreamweaver, HoTMetaL etc. in those days!) and know that sites have to be maintained with fresh content, and also renovated/redesigned to keep them looking fresh or people just don't come back.

Just curious.

I don't "maintain" sites much at all. But I write mini-sites quite regularly. I add them on.
My busiest site is visit-dubai.co.uk because it has got several pages.....far more than the others. No depth to visit-america.co.uk , just a couple of pages.

Google Ads are worth clicking if they supply what the searcher wants.
Sure, I do not make a fortune, but I am adding affiliate sites all the time.
See Birmingham-Airport-Parking.net and all the other Affiliate parking sites just written.

Plus gold-jewellery.net . See that !!

Many do not know how Google Adsense work. If visitors click a Google Ad , it opens and the site owner gets a small amount of money.

Well yes that is a nice way of earning money .

But it doesn't really end by writing a mini site and leaving it

Its important to gain exposure , to get people coming to your site .

Building backlinks is also important for the Search Engine rankings .

There is a lot more to it than you mentioned here :)

Dude,

Sure , there is a fair bit to it, but you have to start somewhere. The other Dubai domains I sell on www.visit-dubai.co.uk are good value in several cases . I am not charging a fortune for them considering what they are. Those names can MARKET !!
They will pay for themselves . You can sell advertising space on them too , and give MORE DEPTH to a web-site.
.co.uk domains have a greater chance of climbing Google UK , and there are 60 million people in the UK. You can add a page of content to a site every now and again. Get about 500 words up there first and a few Google Ads. Then , when interested people.......whom you may have informed through a blog or forum , of the existence of your site.....they may click some of the Google Ads to see what they are about.
When they do that.....you get paid a little money !! NOT a fortune!!

But I try to build up affiliate sites as well. This is what my birmingham-airport-parking.com is about. I have sites for other airports too , like Gatwick, Heathrow, Glasgow etc.

Get a web-site up there !!

U ve got a point when you say those are good domain.

The reason is because it has keywords in it and is marketable.I would want to climb the world google not UK alone.

.co.uk limits my site to UK , if you would have researched in google trends , people who search for the keyword 'dubai' are mostly from UAE

I would rather like to have a '.ae' domain which would climb up much easier in a 'dubai' search .

But I would still would wanna go with a .com because it does not limit me to any place.

The thing here is have you searched for ' Make Money Online ' which is one of the highly searched keyword on the net . Have you see the site that shows up on the top , carlocab.com it doesnt have any of the keyword in its domain.

The thing here is we should more on the backlinks than on keywords.

I currently intend to develop dubai44.com took me 1 hour of domain search to get that domain.

But what is so special about Dubai44. com ?

If that is great ? Then what about Dubai 45 ; Dubai 102 ; Dubai 1475 etc etc ?

What is MEMORABLE about 44....or significant?

I agree .com are BEST......but there are 60 MILLION PUNTERS in the UK too!!

You buy BOTH VERSIONS OF THE SAME DOMAIN!!

Besides www.visit-dubai.co.uk is SECOND when you search "visit dubai" into Google GLOBALLY....and TOP on Google UK!!

The point is that SOME will click the adverts on www.visit-the-world.co.uk and www.visit-dubai.co.uk


When they click those Google Ads, I earn a bit of money ....not a fortune......but it helps. I earned $24 US dollars on Saturday alone. Paid for a few beers!!

If I earned $20 per day.....that is $7300 US PER ANNUM !!

That is GOOD money. Try clicking Google Ads to see what I mean , and put a few on your own web-site.

I don't get $20 every day, but it would be a good target.

No links from others. I have just set up a whole load of my OWN sites with www.visit-the-world.co.uk . Then www.visit-dubai.co.uk has dozens more , with articles on Dubai Gold Souk [ Google that on Google UK ] .and Dubai Shopping etc .
Tell you what ! I'll sell off some of the Dubai domains at reasonable prices, then you can build web-sites on Dubai and add Google Ads.

Dude,

I have just clicked your "Dubai" site. I opened a four of your Ads to see what they were about. Interesting stuff !!

You've got the idea ! Maybe you need more Ads though and more sites with GOOD DUBAI DOMAINS .

I have domains for sale on www.visit-dubai.co.uk

Dude,

What do you mean you could not find Dubai domains that are for sale on our site ? Is there a panel showing at the top of www.visit-dubai.co.uk with the words "Dubai and Qatar domain names for sale "?

We put it on our site. We have got that panel.

It's like a myth. Everybody has heard about it but never seen one. lol Actually I know of a person who started a dating site and then sold it for enough to retire on.

So it's not a myth :roll:

I still say that .co.uk names are too parochial unless you want to limit yourself to UK based customers.

I have a great many of my own web-sites linked into my www.visit-the-world.co.uk . Have a look !!

ONE of them is www.visit-dubai.co.uk . You will see domains for sale at the top of the first page. I would prefer to sell some Dubai domains at reasonable prices. Then I would consider giving links to those domains/sites from my site.

Make me an offer for some of the Dubai domains first, please.

You can see the list of Dubai domains, I hope !!

They will make terrific marketing web-site titles , particularly for the large UK market.

Hey Dude!

Why Dubai44.com? Why not Dubai50.com ?

Or any other number? Is 44 important?

Selling links ?? Make me a good offer and we'll see !!

Have you seen the money-making Google Ads on www.you-earn-money.co.uk
What do you think of the claims they make?
