WebDiggin.com: An Adventure to Make Money Online

We just had our first Pay Per Post sponsored post approved, so ofcourse, we want more. But, the frustrating part is that while some of the opportunities on the PayPerPost marketplace offer $100 to $250 for the post, they’re all pretty-in-pink, meaning that we don’t meet the advertisers’ minimum requirements.

How do you improve your score and unlock the better opportunities on PayPerPost? Well, here are some tips from PayPerPost themselves.

1. Improve your tack rating by writing quality reviews. Advertisers rate your posts on a scale of 1-5 tacks
   

   After you take an opportunity and write about it on your blog, advertisers can read what you’ve written and score your post on a scale from 1 to 5 tacks (5 being the best). Advertisers also have the option of banning you from taking any further opportunities from them, which will affect your tack rating in a negative way. The best way to maintain a good tack rating is to always write clearly with good grammar and follow the requirements laid out in the opportunity description. Your final tack rating will be an average of all the scores advertisers have given your posts.

2. Improve your Google PageRank. The more links you have coming to your website, the better off you are. And the more prestigious the website linking to you, the more heavily weighted is their vote. In other words, it’s a popularity contest - get the popular sites to link to you and you’ll be cool by association.(This PayPerPost page is probably out dated. I imagine since Google slashed all of the payperpost bloggers PR rating, and since Izea has come up with their RealRank or whatever it’s called, they’re probably using their internal system to weigh how popular your site is)
3. Improve your Alexa traffic rank. Alexa traffic rank is essentially based on the number of people who use Alexa Toolbar and visit your site. Apparently you can game it with as few as 3 machines and improve your ranking.
   

   Alexa’s traffic rank is calculated based on the last three months of data collected from Alexa Toolbar users. Your score is a combination of page views and “reach”. The number of page views is determined by how many Alexa Toolbar users visit each page in your website (duplicate visits from the same user on the same day are counted only once). Reach is measured by the number of Alexa users per million who visit your site. The best way to increase (really, decrease — you want to be #1 in this one) your Alexa score is to let people who visit your site know about it. The more visitors you have who are using the Alexa toolbar, the better your score will be. Put up a link to the Alexa Toolbar download on your site and get more of your visitors using it and you will see a decrease (remember decrease is good) in your Alexa score.

Bottom Line: Write great reviews when you do a sponsored post so you get favourable tack rating by the advertisers themselves. Work on getting incoming link traffic to your site to improve your Google PageRank. Download the Alexa toolbar and get your blogger friends to download the Alexa toolbar so that your Alexa traffic ranking improves.
