PageRank 0! How to Make Money Online?

Posted by EarnBlogger in October 19th, 2008

Your blog have zero PageRank? Google took away your PageRank? And now you are not sure what to do and how to make money online? Relax my friend, Google PageRank is not everything and you can earn a lot of money even without it. Unlike many other bloggers, I am not just bluffing here. Because I have PageRank zero on this blog. I’m happy without a PageRank and this blog contributes almost 40% to my monthly online income. When I can earn money, why can’t you?

Make Money Online Zero Pagerank

So, how to make money online with a Pagerank zero blog? Here, I assume that you have an established blog and Google took away your PageRank for some reason. And now, you want to earn money online with that blog. OK? Now, let’s talk how to make money!

Affiliate Marketing: Never forget Affiliate Marketing. It is the easiest and most profitable way to make money money. All you need to find some suitable campaigns and drive quality traffic towards your affiliate links. As you already have a blog with some amount of traffic, it will be easier for you to promote some affiliate products or services. Just make it sure that your blog posts are sold enough to prompt your readers to visit your affiliate links and buy that product or service.
Selling Ad Spots: If you have quality content on you blog and your Alexa rank is good, you can get some good advertisers. Offer some ads spots like 125×125 buttons or 468×60 banners and charge your advertisers on monthly basis. You can sell you ad spot directly through your contact form or advertising page or you can use a third party solution.
CPM or CPC Ads: Find some space on your blog to show CPC/CPM ads. Here, the money you will earn depends on the amount and quality of your traffic. You can improve your blog traffic by producing useful content and utilizing the power of social networking. Look beyond Google AdSense and use other services like Chitika or WidgetBucks. Well, you can also use both of them.
Writing Paid Reviews: Well, this might be one of the reasons that resulted in a Google PageRank slap on your blog. Still, if you want, you can earn money by writing paid reviews. But the problem is that only a few advertisers will want to book a paid review on a zero PageRank blog. So, what you will have to do? Improve the quality of your content and get more traffic and get some more RSS feed subscribers. I can guarantee that you will get some good paid review offers!

I have just listed some common ways that one can use to make money online with a PageRank 0 blog. And I’m sure that these points are not new to you. Just never ignore them in case your PageRank decreases to zero. Because, Google PageRank is not everything.

Thank you for this very good article. I still have a zero PR. Hope I will be earning more with affiliate marketing.

page rank 0 is just another word for nothing left to lose……. no you can try nearly every methode to make some cash online. but you should take care of one thing. long therm you need visitors to make money online and google can be a big incoming stream of visitors. only the real big bloggers can affort it, not to take care about google and it still hurts to get ingnored or even banned by google.

I also have zero PR because I wrote paid post, but that still has not stopped me from doing it and from making money from both affiliate sales and advertising sales on my blog. PR means nothing now, one blog that is a pr 0 still ranks # 7 in Google for one term. I still get most of my traffic from them. Again pr means nothing.

I agree, paid reviews are a good way to start.

Louis Liem Said in October 20th, 2008 @12:19 am

I’d like to share some thoughts that selling adspots and paid reviews won’t earn well with a PR of 0. Some of the things I recommend is affiliating products and maximizing contextual ads. Just IMO

Thanks to all for the comments.

@ Hoto,
Your point is also important. But, I am thriving without a PR since start of this year and I am confident that I will continue blogging without a PR. Because I have a goal now. I don’t want to make tons of money from this blog. I just want to write what I found interesting and useful for my fellow bloggers.

An appeal to all: unlike me, never stop your attempts to get a good PR.

@ Money Maker,
That’s the point. Continue producing more content, visitors will automatically come. And when your traffic is good, you will earn more money. In the mean time, never stop to test new ways.

Just an example; I also have another PR 0 blog, which now receives more than 40K uniques per month and appears in first page of Google search results for many keywords.You know what I mean?

@ Louis Liem,
Yes, creating your own affiliate products is also one of the best ways to make money online. Thanks for the mention.

Hey there, my new blog Home Business Success has a PR of zero, however that has not stopped me from monetizing it. I am involved in a couple of CPA networks that are very successful. PR of zero does not have to mean zero earnings.

Yeah PR0 isn’t the end of the world. You can still get some paid review work but it’s mostly the cheaper articles. Ofcourse I’d prefer good traffic over good pagerank any day.

Lindsay Said in October 22nd, 2008 @1:36 am

I don’t think I have any PR 0 sites, but I have one blog that only has a PR 2 and makes $40-$50 a day and gets quite a bit of traffic considering I only update it about once a week. You definitely don’t need a high PageRank to make money (though it helps if part of your income is derived from selling text link spots directly to advertisers!).

Good luck!

What you need to do to be removed from Google PR? Since most of my traffic comes from Google, I don’t think that would be god to be delisted from Google.

i have a page rank 1 please help me ways to earn money through my blog

blanne Said in November 8th, 2008 @9:00 am

the possibility of being spanked by google someday really bothered me. so the next best thing i thought of was investing on PTC sites. but this is a great post, and im glad to have read it. now you’re making me feel a bit safer.

i think the main conclusion of your point is, increase your pagerank.
what someone actually should do with their PR-0 website to make money instead of increasing pagerank?
