“Virtual Real Estate”
That’s right.
Every time you do a search on whatever it is you’re searching for via the Internet you get a list of results. Within that list of results lies thousands, if not millions, of pages of Virtual Real Estate that is making someone out there on the WWW some handsome profits.
The question is… “What have you done in order to stake your Internet ‘VRE’ claim so you too can enjoy some of that profit as well?”
If you haven’t started anything yet, that’s okay because I did a little research for you and came up with these “6 POWERFUL VRE(Virtual Real Estate) Business Models You Can Start Building In 2006 Using Google Adsense” so you too can benefit like the many others out there online.
The first VRE business model I’d like to talk about are — Article Directories.
VRE Model #1. Articles Directories.
Article Directories are in my mind are probably one of the best VRE business models on the web simply because they offer your audience and publishers Multiple Channels of information on any topic.
And the facts are, people come online for information.
So, what do Article Directories contain?
That’s right… Information! … and lots of it.
The other great benefit to Article Directories is that you don’t have to write a single word if you don’t want to because the whole purpose of starting your Article Directory in the first place is to get other people(we also call them authors) to submit their content for your readers and/or publishers to read and use.
Now, the Rule Of Thumb is simple when it comes to growing your Article Directory and that is… the more authors you recruit, the more your Article Directory will grow, filling it full of targeted information for your readers to digest and for publishers to use on their websites.
It gets better, so keep reading.
“The more pages your Article Directory has, the more signals search engines receive—so they crawl and index your site more often. Each indexed page increases the chances that your content appears in search results, driving more visibility and traffic.”
Remember in the beginning of this article when I was talking about the search engine results being full of Virtual Real Estate. This is where your Article Directories webpages(or your Virtual Real Estate) will be listed for web surfers find.
This also means that you’ll receive a lot of FREE targeted search engine traffic to your Article Directory as it grows giving your authors FREE targeted traffic to their sites and keeping them happy, and at the same time, will be building your VRE nest egg on the WWW.
I hope so.
But don’t go anywhere just yet, I’m not finished.
There’s two more things I want to talk to you about before this part of the article series ends.
The first format is RSS—short for “Real Simple Syndication.” RSS lets you share content (like your Article Directory entries) via a feed. When someone subscribes to your directory’s RSS feed, they automatically receive any new updates as soon as they’re published. INSTANTLY!
“Another major benefit of RSS feeds is their reach. For example, if 1,000 publishers subscribe to your feed and one of your authors publishes a new article, the feed immediately distributes that update to all 1,000 subscribers. When anyone clicks the link in the feed, they come straight to your Article Directory—driving traffic directly back to your site.”
You guessed it, your Article Directory, with your Google Adsense ads(I’ll talk about that in a second) and whatever other related affiliate links you have on that webpage.
Now… for the BEST part, how-to make a $Profit$ with your Article directory.
I’m telling you, this is the easiest money you’ll ever make for simply supplying your viewers and the Internet(A.K.A. The Information Super Highway) with what it needs the most, Information!
How do you do it?
Heard of Google Adsense(as I mentioned just a minute ago), because if you haven’t, now you have.
What is Google Adsense?
Google AdSense is Google’s affiliate program for publishers and how it works is it displays ads targeted towards the content on that particular webpage being viewed.
How do you get paid? Simple. Your reader just has to click on one of the ads within the Google Adsense ad box on that webpage and depending on what the topic is and keyword could pay some handsome commissions(usually between 35% to 50%).
And, guess what? You didn’t even have to do any selling OR follow-up.
“Those clicks really add up—fast! By regularly updating your content and using RSS feeds, search engines will index your site more frequently. Plus, when other publishers link to your RSS feed, their readers get redirected back to your site—complete with your Google AdSense ads and affiliate links. Before long, you’ll see your AdSense earnings grow—and grow!”
Well, that’s it for now. So be sure to be on the look out for my next installment of the “6 POWERFUL VRE(Virtual Real Estate) Business Models You Can Start Building In 2006 Using Google Adsense”.
