Have you read about ‘Muhammad Yunus’ and his idea of micro-financing? Though micro-financing has been there for ages… It is fascinating to know that he has 6.6 million borrowers of whom 97% are women, that’s a huge number for someone who is into micro-financing. I started reading more about micro-financing and came across a article by an advertising agency which talks about ‘Seventy Things to Watch in 2007′ and interestingly of one them is ‘Web-based Micro Financing’.. I googled around and found this website ‘kiva.org’ it is quite a successful business today. ‘Web-based Micro Financing’ is a wonderful idea.. I am curious to know how much would these micro-lenders earn, like what would be the percentage of profit…? and would you invest in such ventures to get good returns…? How much do you think the website owners(kiva.org) are making money..?

I think you just need 3 things to build a company like ‘kiva’.. 1, Technical skill to build a website. 2, Build contacts with local micro-financiers 3, Most importantly you need to have financial (’banking/micro-financing’) background to understand and run this business or may be degree in finance. I can build such a website with in a week and build contacts with micro-financiers – So, if anyone wants to start something similar to kiva then I would be interested to become a partner but your business plan should interest me.. I see a great opportunity in micro-financing esp India .

Or one of the most popular ways to make income online today, Google Adsense.

How exactly does Google Adsense work?

Every time you go to a webpage with advertisements on it, whether or not they are textual ads or banner advertisements, chances are they originated from Google Adsense. Google is basically the middle man between advertisers and webmasters. An advertiser will come to Google and say “I’d like to display my dog food advertisement on any webpage related to dogs and I’m willing to pay $.38 for each click you can get me.” Now, webmasters flock in and display these advertisements while trying to gather as much traffic and clicks as possible. The clicks turn into money and everyone is happy.

The reason why Google Adsense is so popular is because of its ease of use and how quickly one can make money using it. There’s virtually no restrictions as to who can display advertisements and the payments are always guaranteed.

The way to really make money with Google Adsense is to pick a niche that pays a good amount per click for each keyword. For example, the niche “investments” or “lawyers” or “insurance” can pay multiple dollars per click while a word such as “cell phone adapter” could pay 40 cents or less per click. By doing research before displaying adsense advertisements, you can save yourself not only a lot of time, but you can make a lot more money in the long run.

Webmasters also make the mistake of not displaying their adsense advertisements in those most appropriate places on their websites. Often, webmasters will not place the advertisement in a place where it is most likely to get clicked by a lurking visitor – instead they will put it in the easiest place or at the bottom of their webpage. The average visitor will stay on a webpage for less than 15 seconds, so you need to be sure that anything on your webpage that is put their to make money is being put in front of the visitor quickly.

Making money with Google Adsense isn’t that difficult if you stay focused on what matters, and what matters is ranking high in the search engines result pages of Google. The rest doesn’t really matter, and will take care of itself. For example, a lot of people attempt to rank high in Yahoo and MSN, making changes that actually make it more difficult to rank in Google, where you make the most money.

Just think like Yahoo and MSN. If you want to improve, you would start to copy what Google is doing to get better search results. Yo can count on that happening, and it is happening now.

Follow this instructions!

1 So the first step in conquering the search engine result pages is to focus on Google search results alone. Don’t try to target all of thesearch engines as it’ll hurt Google results without being able to make up for it with the few extra hits you may get in other engines.

2 Next, you focus on giving Google search what it needs and wants, and that is highly targeted keywords placed in the proper places in your post title and content.

3 Remember, Google can’t distinguish phrases, it can only identify individual words you put in your content and give results based on that. That’s the secret behind placing keywords where they need to be to get the best results.

4 So write for Google Adsense or search engine results, rather than for readers. If you write for readers, your text may read great, but nobody will be reading it if you don’t place keywords where they need to be so Google can index them properly.

5 Along with in your post title, include you keywords in the first paragraph of your post content as well as the last. The reason why is Google reads content in that way, so you’re helping them discover what your content is about.

It also helps them place the right targeted Adsense ads on your blog. That increases click-through rates.

6 Finally, scatter your keywords throughout your post text, without doing it so much you may get penalized. This is a good reason to write longer posts so you can have a lot of keywords for Google to find, without incurring penalties for ’stuffing’ keywords in an obvious attempt to game the system.

7 This is about all you can do to optimize your blog or website for Google. Once that is done, spend the rest of your time building up backlinks, and your entire Google Adsense strategy is in place, and you’ll start to make some serious money over time.
