Now, I would not go to a negotiating table with these figures – however it is fun to see where it places your domain as far as value goes.  Go check out the Worth of Web Website Value Calculator and let me know where your domain stands in the rankings.

Looking for an easy way to add contextual search to your web site or blog when somebody double-clicks or highlights a word?  Quiqee is the slick new service that will bring you slick features, more money and traffic.

For the end user, using Quiqee on a web page that has the code enabled is really simple.  All the user has to do is double click or highlight text on the web page (as seen in the picture above).  Once they do, they can search for:

• Term Meaning
• Search for the Keyword on Your site
• Search the Web
• Search News for the Term
• Look for Images with the Term
• Find Videos about the Keyword
• and much more!

So where does the money making part of this come in?  Well, Quiqee integrates with your existing Google AdSense account for payment.  Just add your AdSense account number and channel when you sign up and avoid all the hassle of managing multiple party payments. Track your revenue into your Google AdSense account.

Overall, this type of web site tool is not my cup of tea because I like to keep things simple.  However, out of all the keyword search tools I’ve seen out there, Quiqee might have the slickest presentation and I like that they focus on helping you earn a little more money too.

Check them out today at Quiqee.com, and let me know your thoughts!

Ever wonder how much your web site empire is worth? Well, mind is worth $9,530.88.  How can somebody find that out?  Just check out cubestat.com.  Plug your URL into the lookup tool and they will analyze your web site to see how much you could ask for it, financially speaking.

They will provide you with your web site worth, your daily page views and your daily estimated ad revenue. Other than that, you get basic stats about your domain and how it is doing on services like Compete, Alexa, and more. 

On the negative side of things, it missed my Google and Yahoo stats (not sure why, I double checked myself) so actually your value might be a ‘bit higher than what they say. 

Cubestat.com provides a unique, although be it not perfect, way to measure a web site’s worth.

One of the popular blogs out there that I really enjoy a lot is CyberNet. They always have fresh content, good reviews and reminds me of a younger and more influential Lockergnome.com. The minds behind the project – Ryan and Ashley are brilliant at what they do and have had a lot of success along the way. Then it came to me, who better to ask for advice about taking your blog to the next level than them? E-mails were sent, virtual handshakes were made and a conversation was had…

When did you know it was time to really put your all into CyberNet and try to do your best at making some money with it? Was it your goal from day one or was it something that you decided to do later on down the road?

Ryan: Our goal from day one wasn’t to make money; CyberNet was originally started as a hobby. Our goal was to do our best and put our all into it, and to write great content and tutorials that you wouldn’t find on many other sites out there. I guess you could say we were focused on quality and not quantity. We were actually surprised at the time it took to maintain a site with quality articles and we realized if we wanted to continue to provide the content, we had to find a way to make money with it. It wasn’t until about a year ago that Ashley and I both started working on CyberNet full-time.

Out of all of the money making methods out there today, which has been the most and least successful for you thus far?

Ryan: We’d have to say that Google AdSense has definitely been the most successful for us so far. Part of this is due to the fact that we have a large international audience, and Google serves ads internationally. Google has also done the best with displaying ads relevant to the content that we write. Also worth mentioning is Tribal Fusion because they’ve been really good for us as well. Since they charge on a per impression basis, we have been able to make money without needing people to click on the ads. By serving up these types of ads, our regular readers who aren’t likely to click on the ads are able to contribute to our success, just by visiting the site.

The least successful money making method for us has been Chitika. It’s something we tried in the beginning and what we found is that their ads were for products and our audience isn’t really the type to turn to an advertisement to make a purchase. We received a very little return using Chitika, and so we stopped using them.

You deliver a wide variety of content on just about anything and everything technology related. Ever find yourself getting burnt out on tech?

Ryan: We never get burnt out on tech in general. What we do get burnt out on though is simply writing. This is why we’ve made it a point to distance ourselves from the site most weekends so that come Monday morning, we are fresh and excited to get back into it.

Another way we avoid getting burnt out on technology is by writing about a variety of topics. We’ve seen gadget sites write 5-10 articles per day on a sole topic like the iPhone. Our brains would go crazy if we wrote about a single topic that many times in a single day! A variety of topics keeps things exciting.

Let’s say you find that one of your posts has really started to take off in popularity today. It’s getting mentioned all over the place and you see an increase in traffic. What is your usual course of action?

Ryan: Well, first we pull out the helium tank and blow up some balloons. Then we bust out a cake, open up a bottle of champagne and do the happy dance!

Joking aside, on a server side, we don’t really have anything to worry about when there’s an increase in traffic. We’re confident that our host can handle any surges in traffic that we may have.

From a content perspective, we try to keep up with the comments on the article and get involved in conversations that may get started so that the audience can see that being active in our community is one of our top priorities.

For anybody out there wanting to take their web site to that “next level” as far as professionalism and reach what advice would you give to them?

Ryan: We thought of a few things for this one, so we’ll just outline them in bullets.

• Success takes a lot of time and an extreme amount of patience
• You’ll get a lot of criticism along the road, people questioning your intelligence and your credibility
• More often than not, you’ll have negative people telling you what you should be doing instead of positive people telling you what you’re doing right
• Do your best to form a community and participate in it. Our community is our most valuable asset on the site right now. A lot of great readers, commenters, and members of the forum have made us what we are today
• Take time to acknowledge just how far you’ve come and the progress you’ve made
• Set goals of what you’d like to achieve and refer to them on occasion to help keep you on the right track

I want to thank Ryan for his time, and please all of you (even you there, sitting in the bathroom with your notebook PC) go visit CyberNetNews.com. Also be sure to check out our archive of other past interviews with some of the brightest minds on the Web.

Right now I could care less about graphic innovation, home entertainment or anything that the others are pitching. What I want is something that is fun to play which Wii wins at hands down.

One aspect that I didn’t think would be so damn addictive is downloading the Virtual Console titles. I download one, play it for a while and say.. “Gee, I sure would like to play that” and download another, then another, then well.. just one more. Ok, this will be the last one I promise! I am at the point where I think I may just have to set myself aside a “Wii budget” so I am not tempted to go overboard.

One more money related issue that bugs me about the Wii is that they sell the nunchuk and the Wii-mote as two different (and expensive) controllers. As far as controllers go I have 2 Wii-motes, 2 nunchuks, and 2 “classic” controllers. This way I figure I’ll get half of my controller costs out of the way. Spending $40 for the Wii-mote and then $20 for a nunchuk seems to be a little ‘bit of a money grab to me.

Well damn you Nintendo and your gaming goodness, you grabbed me. Now I’m off to go wait curb side for Super Smash Bros. Brawl to be delivered… what are you talking about, I don’t have a problem!

Learn how to create a passive income yourself.

Getting paid by the hour is pretty neat, but it’s even better when you have income that comes in when you’re taking time off too! Freelancers are uniquely positioned to be able to spend time creating sources of passive income while still getting their main money earning work done.

You can download it as an eBook or you can read the entire thing Online. The choice is up to you.

This afternoon I signed up with Review Me, and in turn I am going to be getting paid $30 once this post is posted and done with. With that said, if you go through the Web site and want me to write about something it will only cost you $30 as well (looks like they bumped me up to $60). Not too bad of a price, I must say. Some people are getting up to $250 – but I don’t know who is going to really pay that much for one post. I probably could have had a higher number, but since the domain name switch a few months ago I have been building link popularity all over again.

The idea behind Review Me is simple, you sign up and they judge how much you are worth by popularity. Once that is done and you get in, advertisers will come to you and ask you to write about them. Now you do not have to post a positive review but you do have to disclose somewhere that you are doing paid posts. I think this is a nice balance and should keep the ego bloggers at bay for now.

I am looking at this as more than just another way to get some cash. That is nice and all, but I sometimes really need to find a good muse. Interesting ideas are not that easy to find so if I have people feeding me ideas and offering to pay me to write it, that is every real writer’s dream come true.

If the answer is yes, then you might be missing out on a good deal that not too many people outside of the Web hosting industry know about. You could set yourself up a reseller hosting account and charge your friends whatever you want for doing their hosting with you. You could be your own little Web host.

+ How much money will I make?

Consider this, each Web site you buy from the Web host costs $5 a month to you. If you go back and charge your friend $7 for the service, then you are already making $2 a month profit. That is an extra $24 in your pocket after a year for doing what you would probably already be doing for free.

Now let us add in a few more friends, lets say you are hosting ten different Web sites for ten different plans. You charge each friend $7 a month and you are looking at a profit of $240 after one year.

You are already making that kind of cash and you only bumped the price up $2! Just think what the numbers would look like if you charge your buddies $10 or $20 a month for hosting plus your “costs” of keeping their Web sites up, running, and looking nice.

+ How do I get started making money?

Just about every Web host out there has a reseller Web hosting package for you to pick. For a good place to search for Web hosting in general – I would recommend checking out FindMyHosting.com. You might also ask around at places like WebHostingChat.com and see which places get you the best deals.
