EzineArticles.com is one of the leading article directories online today and has been established for a very long time in the marketing and article space.

Ezine Articles essentially lets your post your articles (rewritten for Ezine or as you posted on your own blog) to their database of articles with millions of visits each month. What that does, is it brings you visitors and backlinks to your website creating a lot of value for your business.

Some people make a living by posting to Ezine and linking out to affiliate products or their own products and selling people from their articles on the products and websites.

Ezine is a very powerful tool that should be in every internet marketers business plan.

There are two differing camps when it comes to article publishing on article directories. Some people believe that all the content must be unique that you post on your blog, therefore you should never post vanilla posts from your blog onto article directories. Then, there are other internet marketers who have claimed they have had no ill effects from publishing the same article from their blog a few days later on the most popular article directories. Personally, I have no problem posting my articles from my own blog onto article directories, but I usually wait at least a week before I do so, that way I have time for my own articles to be indexed and to appear as the original article source.

Once you are ready to start publishing, it is a good idea to go through and read some of the Ezine Articles to see what style are most popular and which topics seem to be as well.

You are not allowed to use affiliate links directly in your Ezine articles, so instead you need to set up a sub directory with 301 redirect to your affiliate link, if that is the way you are going to go.

Linking is also very closely monitored, you can not have links in the first 2/3rd’s of the article, so be conscience of that so that you can save yourself some frustration, there is also a limit on the number of links that are allowed.

Ezine Articles can be a very powerful tool to incorporate into your business, learning the ropes first and taking it slowly (so you don’t get banned) is important so that you can create unique content that will garner you some great responses to your links, in turn making you some money.

CPA stands for Cost Per Action.  CPA networks are becoming very popular for internet marketers to make money online because companies are paying high commissions for leads.

To give you an example i use a number of CPA networks which ill talk about in a minute that have a number of companies that will pay you commission for every lead you send them.  For example if you send your email lists/website traffic to the advertisers landing page and your referrel puts in their email address to receive whatever they are selling you can earn upto $15 just from your referrel putting in their email address.

I did an experiment the other day and put a link on my facebook status for anyone who wants to make $10 to fill out a free survey.  5 of my facebook friends clicked on the affiliate link in my facebook status and i made $50 just from them completing a quick 2 minutes survey on the advertisers website.

Big named brands spend millions of dollars a year on advertising and the reason they pay so much for leads is because once they have your referrels contact details they can then create a relationship with them and send them offers via email or even sell on their contact details to third partie companies which is a massive business.

I recommend the following CPA networks as they pay the based commissions.

Google Adsense Websites

Google adsense are google adverts that are put on your website and everytime a visitor on your website clicks on those adverts you instantly earn commission. Anything from $0.01 – $5 depending on the type of link.

If you already have a website established with a good amount traffic coming in and are looking for some extra income from your website then it could be a good idea to experiment adding google adsense to your website. Its very easy to add, simply create an account with Google and when your application is approved you will be given the html code to add to your website. Its very simple.

If you don’t have a website and are looking for a website idea then you could try create a Google adsense website. This simply is creating a website on a particular topic and having a alot of content about this subject and on each page having your Google adverts nicely spread out on the page enticing users to click on the links and earning you commission.

Some webmasters have create a search engine website that uses the Google adsense search bar. This means when ever a user hits your website and does a search for anything, a full list of results is displayed and whenever someone clicks on those links you instantly earn a commission

Another good way to generate adsense sales is by having a blog, as you can update your content everyday and for each blog have one google adsense advert in each blog tempting the reader to click on the advert and earning you commission

Once you have your google adsense website established and making money you can then start to experiment with adding affiliate links which earn you commission everytime someone buys something. Affiliate links are product links to other websites that sell products or services. If a user clicks on an affiliate link on your website and goes to buy that product you instantly earn a nice commission
