Ask Questions
I keep getting some emails about various questions from many readers. So I thought, why not I answer them time to time in the blog only.
So, do you have any questions about internet marketing or how to make money online. Or any other question, which you think I can answer, then ask them here. You can ask any questions you like except personal once and questions like “let me know the URLs of your sites”. 
I think I will ignore such questions. I will try to answer any many questions as possible.
I will try to answer all the questions to the best of my knowledge. I have created a new “Questions” category, so that you can refer them all together.
So, do you have any questions? Ask them here and I will reply all of them in my next “Ask Questions” post.
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Hi Jim,
First of all congratulations on your success…to repeat a cliche you are the inspiration.
My question…I am new to this and I hear a lot about keyword research….while I did get the basic concept, I am unable to understand what next…. I mean after I research a key word (I still do not know how) what do I do?
Please help..

Hi, thanks for this opportunity.
Following on from the ‘keyword’ question above…do you have more (adsense) success with popular, high profile keywords, or with traffic from ‘long tail phrases’ that comes from lots of content?
Cheers

My options are:
-using jetspinner

-using adwords (not mfa)
-sell affiliate product (my traffic only 800 unique daily)
thanks for your help

Hi jim,
I want to ask you about adding images on websites.
Can I add images on my website from Google image search or any other search engines?
Adding images on the website from such search engines is legal?
If not then what can I do to add images?
If I add such images on my site then what is harm to me or my site?
Please reply.
Thanks

Hi jim,
I want to start a first website or blog. It will be about books and literature. What do you think about this niche. By the way, I am not in a hurry. My aims about monotizing is long term, like 3-4 months.
Also, which one is better do you think? A blog or website, for a newbie.

Thanks for giving us a chance to shoot the questions popping up inside. I do have many questions with no answers! So here I go: where do I get the username and password of your affiliate acounts or how do I get inside your mind?
lol just kidding.
Anyway I am looking for some answers to the questions:
1. How to promote affiliate programs successfully without any investment initially using blogs, article marketing or any other methods like these?
2. How can I make $50 a day from CPA programs? Is there a good free site that teaches to do so?
3. What best advice can you give a newbie affiliate marketer which will bring him success?
Answers will be appreciated even in new posts…

Oh forgot to ask, where do I get the theme you are using here in this blog? Its simply the god damn beautiful theme ever!

Hey Jim
Thanks a lot for being such a gr8 inspiration. I was about to kick off adsense as a fool’s errand in frustration when i came across your story at DP. Turned around and ma making more than $50/day and rising fast…
Now, I have a question for you. You mentioned finding a good niche, making a site or sites about it. The key is the relevet traffic. I don’t think one can merely SEO or even promote it to get 20, 000 users every day quickly. So how do you do it?

Hello Jim,
Woh, you make tons of online money and i am very impressed. I have a few questions when using wordpress blog:
I have one wordpress blog, what do you think about what page should we place on the homepage? I meant, is it better to put the newest posts on the homepage? or is it better to place the page that includes all links on the homepage? when you set the number of posts on the main page, how many of posts is the best to put on the homepage? (5, or 10, or just 1).
Thanks.

Jim-
First, thank you for all of your insight and your willingness to help others!
One of my sites, actually the first site I created, did well for given keywords. Then, during month 5, google seemed to have “sandboxed it” or penealized it (for lack of better terms.) It is nowhere to be found for keywords that it was once on page 1. And its not an isolated keyword but rather dozens.
I had the site backlinked by a supposedly reputable company. Im not sure if they did something wrong. I also made some significant changes to the homepage, including changing several of its meta keywords and meta description.
Thats all I can think that I changed. It just seems obvious that google began to distrust or dislike it. How can I find out why? How to correct it? Or, do I just wait it out, making more content. (It only has about 35 pages.)
Again, thank you for your efforts and information!
Klee

Hi jim,
I am using CJ for affiliate marketing.I want to know whether I need to pay for anything over there?
Please also explain about CJ and how it works.Any tips would be appreciated.
I am worried about it please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks.

hi again-
1) how do you manage your websites in terms of a business formation? Did you set up an LLC etc? Is there a strategy that you use or recommend in general. As people become successful using your methods, this will be a concern eventually. (I realize this is not a blog for business advice.)
2) is the threat of being “click bombed” legitimate and how can you safeguard yourself against it. Are your domains registered in different names etc. strategies to avoid having all of your sites discovered. Is it appropriate to divide your adsense into under different accounts? I have heard that google frowns on this, and can see computer or IP logins.
thank you!

Hi Jim,
I was wondering if you could make a post about how you do your link building for your websites. I now have around 75 sites but it’s difficult to maintain all of them. The problem is finding a good outsourcing person to do the job right.
I’d love to hear your tips and methods for building links for such a large number of sites (eg blog comments, article submission, etc) and also any recommended link builders.
Thanks a lot,
Justin.

Hello Jim,
I really love your site because you are honestly and clearly discussing here what you do as far as earning that very amazing monthly earnings. Me, I only dream to earn $3000. I hope I can make it in God’s time.

You said you have a company and you work individually as well. You have shown many times how much you make from adsense. But what about your company? Does it make anything from Adsense?

Hi Jim,
Does marketing my blog outside of the internet make sense? such as in print magazines, newspapers, in stores with flyers? Also, how do you feel about the state of mobile advertisements? As slow as mobile devices are, will people really click on them?

Hi Jim
Quite an interesting blog you have. Is there any place on the net where one could learn setting up and monetizing a blog from scratch? If you have dealt with this subject in your earlier responses, could you kindly give the reference date.

Jim, When starting a website can u elaborate the difference between buying older domain relevant to your theme or registering fresh new domain.
