How To Make Online Money

I recently came across a strategy and a tool that I thought I’d share with you.

The strategy:

Use a plugin called KB Linker to automatically link certain keywords in your blog to eBay (using your affiliate ID, of course!).

KB Linker lets you create pairs of keywords and links. You create a list of these pairs in the plugin’s configuration panel. Then every time that keyword appears anywhere in your blog, it will be hyperlinked to the URL you have designated.

For example, in the configuration panel you can set it up like: google->http://www.google.com
wordpress->http://www.wordpress.com
make money->http://www.how-to-make-online-money.com
Digital Point Forum->http://forums.digitalpoint.com

etc.

With the configuration above, any time the word ‘wordpress’ appears in a post, it will be hyperlinked to WordPress.com. Any time the phrase “Digital Point Forum” appears in your blog, it would be linked to those forums.

You can understand how this would be useful for making money, once you start tying keywords in your blog to your affiliate links.

The difficulty with eBay is that its links are so long and convoluted.

The tool:

So, I used Microsoft Excel to create a tool that allows me to input my Campaign ID, keywords I want linked, and phrases for eBay to search, and the tool creates the right output to paste into KB Linker.

For example, I want the word “wristwatch” to be linked to an ebay search for “rolex watch” everywhere in my blog, or the word “Canon” to be linked to the ebay search for “digital camera -battery”.

You can grab the tool (an Excel file) from:
