We all know that fresh content is important in getting picked up by the search engines. They don't want to pick up and rank old rehashed information. Not only that, but the content needs to be relevant. Do you know about Google Alerts? It is a great way to have google email you the latest news in your niche to your email box. Google alerts helps you keep up with the latest news in your niche and I highly recommend using google alerts for your main keywords. You can go to http://www.google.com/alerts in order to signup for your main keywords.

One way to use this infomation is to use these alerts in order to help provide fresh and relevant content. The way to do this is through social commentary. An example was late last year there were reports about a certain celebrity driving around with her young son on her lap and no seatbelt amongst other things. So I did a post on my parenting site and expressed concerns and opinions. Just remember, proper social edicate dictates that you mention and link to the source of the information and if you quote from any article give proper credit. It is very important that you not just rewrite the article or news but make it your 'own' by providing valuable commentary and opinion. Google will love you for it.

For those of new at monetizing our sites, I thought I would give a real brief explaination of what a CPA network is and why everyone should look into adding CPA ads as part of their monatization strategy.

So what is a CPA network, isn't it just another type of affiliate network? Well, yes and no. Like affiliate networks, CPA ad networks count on publishers like us to promote their offers. They uaually call us affiliates just like traditional networks.

Traditional affiliate networks focus on sales, however, many CPA ad networks focus on lead generation. What do I mean like that? Have you ever seen credit card offers? You can make some serious income just by getting people to inquire, put in an application and get accepted. Many of the new CPA networks give you a choice of both, payment on sales, and payment on lead generation.

The web has changed, we all know that. Gone are the days of eye-catching visually trancing movement that once had us glued to the screen, we'd say, how'd they do that.
