Google's website traffic

Lots of chatter about the chart below today. Comes on the heels of Google shuttering Google Answers and no doubt adds fuel to that silly argument about how the only thing Google does well is search.

What people forget is that Gmail, News, Maps, Picasa, Earth, Desktop Search, to name a few, each shook the world when announced and made competitors scramble. They bought Google oodles of free pr, permanently established the company as the most powerful thinker in web technology, helped them become a haven for the best engineers on the planet, and – by the way – probably helped drive their search and advertising volume into the stratosphere. How many other companies out there have figured out how to get their R&D budget to do double duty as marketing.

Gmail forced Yahoo and Microsoft to scramble to upgrade their online storage allotments. News forced newspapers to change the way they wrote headlines for the web, Maps ignited everyone’s love affair with AJAX and mashups. Picasa made the world realize that someone besides Apple could develop easy-to-use photo management software. And Earth and Desktop Search sent such a shudder through Microsoft that it made Bill Gates sputter with anger.

The folks at Yahoo love to flog this dog - that Google's success is overblown because the only thing it does well is search. Every time someone from Yahoo gets on stage to talk about what they are up to you always hear him/her talk about Yahoo’s zillions of page views and email accounts – about it being the most trafficked site on the web. So how come they can’t turn all that traffic into more cold hard cash?

I have made some decent money using my main blog with Google AdSense. But here is a great method I have been using to make money online.

I purchased a digital product from the ClickBank marketplace and reviewed the product. Once I did this, I followed what I read to see if I would get the same results the writer did.

I did a short video teaching others what I learned and then made a recommendation to purchase the product at the end of the video. Of course, I only created a video for the products that actually worked for me. Since these products did work for me, by watching and following the video, you will also benefit by seeing a dramatic increase in conversions.

Then I recommended this product through my own affiliate link. This way I could earn commissions on what others sold. The best way I found to do this was to purchase a meaningful and memorable domain name and redirect the domain to my affiliate link. Then overlay that link in the video.

I usually post my videos on my blogs and send it to my mailing lists to make money. But if you don't have a list, then upload it to YouTube and several other video sharing sites to make you commissions.
It's a great technique that's worked for me.
Cheers,
