Using PPC with VRE?
It's oil and water, right? I mean, really, who mixes the purchase of pay per click advertising with virtual real estate sites? It doesn't make any sense.
VRE is built with a primary goal of securing free search engine traffic. Sites aren't built with PPC in mind. And PPC costs money. The idea behind VRE is to create long-lasting value sites that will naturally attract free traffic.
PPC and VRE. Oil and water. Maybe.
What if you ran the numbers on your VRE site and learned that it's worth $.12 per visitor to you. What if you took a look at Adwords and discovered that you could buy hits on highly relevant keywords for $.06 per visitor.
Would it be worth seeing how that oil and water worked together?
It would certainly seem worth running a small campaign to test the waters. The PPC traffic might not boast the same value and search traffic, but then again... Who knows.
If those numbers held true and you paid enough to get an extra 50 visitors per day, your little chunk of VRE would bring home more than an extra $1,000 per year.
VRE isn't designed for PPC, but sometimes things do line up the right way and it can be profitable. It's always worth running the numbers.

The Fine Print
We all hate the fine print. That tiny-font boilerplate text that we see on the bottom of contracts or embedded somewhere deep into a long “terms of service” document doesn't make it onto anyone's preferred reading list.
Nonetheless, it's a must have for a smart VRE site. That's right, prepare to put together a page or two of fine print materials in order to protect your interests and to stay consistent with the usage terms of some monetization methods.
You should have disclaimer information indicating that you can't be held liable for any alleged damages experienced as a result of a visitor acting on information contained within the site. You should have terms of service methods that carefully outline the limited extent of your responsibility, too. Many marketers believe that there's an ethical imperative to disclose the influence of advertising on editorial content and to clearly label any content effected by that influence.
And if you're using Adsense, you need to have a privacy policy. Yes, you need to have one. That's part of Adsense's terms of use now and if you're found to be in violation, they could pull your account.
It might be nice to dream of a world without courtrooms, lawyers and rules. We don't live in one, though. Until we do, get your fine print in order.

It Pays to be Unique
We at www.xsiteprodesigns.net know how hard it is to get new and unique templates so we have made a special offer that you can't refuse :)
It pays to be unique. No, we’re not talking about the desirability of a crazy haircut or a series of interesting quirks. Instead, we’re referring to unique content, a hallmark of the most successful virtual real estate projects.
Don’t worry. This isn’t another attempt to scare the heck out of you with exaggerated stories about the way Google will beat you to a pulp over duplicate content. That’s not the point. You can actually use some previously-published content to your advantage as you build your VRE.

How To Get Traffic
Drip, Drip, Drip… The Value of Consistent Content
Do you know what search engines like? They like content. Search engine spiders can’t resist sinking their teeth into juicy, fresh, new content. And their appetites know no limits. The more content, the happier they seem to be.
And if there’s one thing they love more than finding that first heaping helping of content on a piece of virtual real estate, it’s realizing that they can come back for more any time. Google, Yahoo and MSN absolutely adore sites that regularly add new content.
That’s why it makes sense to drip feed your website. That means setting up a mechanism that will automatically add preloaded content onto your site at predefined intervals. That’s easy to do with many content management systems and those with “old school” leanings can even do it manually.
The important thing isn’t how it’s done. The important thing is that it is done. If you can make it so your site grows at a steady pace, putting new content into play on a regular basis, you can expect a great deal of love and attention from your friends at the search engines. That, of course, means more traffic. More traffic, more money. Drip. Drip. Drip.
