HOW TO CREATE HOMEPAGE IN BLOGGER


In blogger,com ,there occurs a problem for some bloggers who want their particular post to be the landing page of the site. Blogger doesnot allow that instead it makes the newer posts the landing page (homepage),  so by default blogger's homepage is your newest page,most of the people don't like it. And some other people wants a specific homepage or welcome page for the visitors.
So in this article, by editing in layout editor ,we will make a static homepage or a page that you want it to be landing page. All the steps are given below

1. Add a static page :

go to your bloggers admin menu . then click on pages and you will find this
 .
Blogger static pages

now just click on the new page button and select blank page. and the figure will look like this.

Publish a Google Blogger page

 You can name the page whatever you want and you can also edit it later .If you want it to be your homepage, then lets call it homepage. and for home page just type in whatever you think is good, for example welcome to my blog. Now publish it. and your static homepage is ready.
you will see two pages in your list home and homepage.

 

2.Redirecting the Blogger default Home to a Static Page :


now what we are doing is that we will hide the old home and redirect that url to our new homepage.
Now simply go to the settings menu.
choose search preference in settings menu.
now in errors and redirections section ,click on edit in custom redirects.

in from box type forward slash "/" and in to box type the exact address of the new page, in our case it is, "/p/home-page.html"

 

now save it and then save changes.
so now when you click on ur url ,you will be redirected to your new homepage that you created. If you wanted a particular post to be the redirected page then you can make changes in to box and type in the exact url of that post.

 

3.Enabling Tabs for a Static Blogger Homepage :


this is the last step ,it is required because right now you are having two home pages,so you have to hide the previous one otherwise you will have two homepages that will not sound great on your site.
now go to pages menu.
click on show pages as and select top tabs.and save arrangement.
Now go to the layout section.

 

 

click on the edit on pages and now you will see this.

 


to hide the old home, deselect it and simply save the arrangements.
thats it.

GOOGLE ADSENSE ALTERNATIVES

chitika :

Chitika is very similar to google adsense. If your blog is new and  free one ( of blogspot or wordpress ), then you can apply for them. They will approve you in as short as a day. I am using Chitika on this blog. Chitika serves the contexual ads , that has 3 type of ads in it ,they have given some plugins also to make it easier for you. You get an additional option in which you can show the ads on mobile devices also. you can also show ads to the visitors that come only from search results. You can easily change the size of ads after logging in to their site. They have also got affiliate program. If your visitors are mainly from US, UK, Canada then you can make a lot of money from them.
You can withdraw money from paypal or cheque. The minimum amount to be paid is $10 for paypal and $50 for cheque.
If you are already been approved for adsense,then also you can use both adsense and chitika in conjunction.

Bidvertiser :

 

They are also good  alternative to google adsense in PPC category like adsense. The different about them is that you will be paid more money if their occurs conversion of a click .Apart from PPC ,it also sells adspace on your site, advertisement of highest bidder will be shown on your website. they provide the ads in banner form.You can always customize the size. 
The minimum payout for paypal is $10.

PUXEE:

They are kind of a buy and sell ad programs. They will approve your site as soon as you have registered with them. What they do, for  publishers is that ,they will give a code to you and you can put that code on your website. This code is for advertising purposes ,if someone comes on site and wants to show his advertisements on your site ,then he will click that banner and will be redirected to the puxee site where you have already given the details of the site. The benefit of this program is that you don't have to communicate with the advertisers because everything is done by puxee thereafter. theykeep only 25% of the revenue generated and the rest of the amount is given to the publishers.Even adsense gives only 68% to the publishers,so puxee offers the max revenue to its publishers.


MADADSMEDIA :

they are the best alternatives in case of CPM . They pay higher money to the sites that have more visitors from UK,US. Though there are some requirements to be approved by them ,I have also applied for them today. Your site shouldnot have any content that is not in guidelines with them (be sure to check their guidelines because i had to remove some of my posts that fell into that area). Like if you are not having very much traffic then, you should apply for them. Most of the CPM networks have a big requirement of having a 1000 visitors each day, but this is an exception,that is why i have included this into my category.

KONTERA :

and finally I would like to add kontera and infolinks.Both of them are quite same but infolinks is much effective if you are having a blog with quality traffic But incase your site is new or if your site is not having much traffic ,then infolinks may not approve you so then you can use kontera.

After looking at the list you will be saying that we already know some of them.Well thats true, this is called our websavvy. It is likely that I might have missed many other basic things but if you can get the basic knowledge of above 20 then you should start preparation to create a blog because you will be able to understand the rest of things as you come in contact with google search, You can read this post of mine on how to create a blog step by step guide. If you want to sell something on your site then you would like to add a paypal link to your blog. For ebooks, you must add e-commerce. Well ,you can hire someone to work for you if you don't understand nothing about programming, But in that case you will have to trust your partner. So it is better if get to know soe basics about programming so that you will be in better control of your site than you previously were.
If you don't know anything about a particular web technology, for example SEO, then you will not get as much traffic as you can, in case of knowing SEO and you may not be able to increase your paypal or bank balance. So whenever you come across a new technology, just type that in google or yahoo and try to understand the basics of that and get to know the way you can use it for your blog.As it is said “A jack of all trades is a master of none.” But you also have to remember that you have to just understand the basics ,you need not to completely master in that thing and waste the valuable time.

Little things like giving a title name to a post are very important things for SEO as well as impressing the visitors to read the whole article. Once you get an experienced blogger then this thing won't take much time. An average blogger takes upto only 60 seconds to title a page.These things come with experience,so be patient until and unless you become successful  and remember you will have to balance both you and your readers needs. As you will be looking to make money and the readers will be looking to find a great content.

HOW TO GET TRAFFIC ON WEBSITE OR BLOG


HOW TO GET TRAFFIC FOR THE BLOG OR WEBSITE

 

Getting quality traffic to blog

First of all,You need to write some very good articles and then you have to feature them in your homepage or sidebar. In the beginning, people will not find your blog as it is quite new. There are some of the tips given below that you can do to achieve great traffic. As I said above, first write some great articles because when visitors come to your site,you would want to impress them with your content and hopefully they will come back.

1.Commenting on other blogs :

Go to different blogs, read their post carefully, according to their content place your opinion in the comment box on that particular post with a link that leads to your blog ar site. For example, You can comment like, "very good post, I liked most of the content but there are some other sites that are also a very good alternatives of google adsense. while searching google, as I found your site ,I also came across a very good blog that has given some more thoughts on google adsense alternatives." So this way you gave the link to your site. Also remember that the comment you are doing must be very thoughtful and wise otherwise blog owner might disapprove your comment and hence that comment would not be shown.


2.Participate in social bookmarking communities :

If your blog is new, then you will get many problems in promoting your site on net and getting traffic. But in my opinion, the tool that can be the best asset is submission of your posts to social bookmarking site like
stumbleupon, reddit, diqq, pinterest, tumblr, care2 (for nonprofits and causes), goodreads (for books), ravelry and many more... As a new blogger when you use them ,you will see a lots of traffic coming from these sites..for example ,lets take stumble upon, when you add your site there you start recieving traffic but in order to maintain the traffic your site must have a great content because stumble upon offers its users a space where they can lookfor sites that are of their interests.So when stumble upon shows a site then the particular user gives a like (upward thumb) or dislike (downward thumb) .In order to be shown your page regularly you have to get as many likes as possible.

3.Participate in Q+A sites :

sites like yahoo!answers , quora , stackexchange , formspring etc. are some sites where you can participate in ongoing discussions. Don't show yourself as a spammer .When you create accounts with these site don't just put your links in the answer, First try to understand how the things work there. Then after you are established then put your link with a relevant answer. If you tried to be spammer then in the first chance they will suspend you. So be ware of these facts. Another benefit of these sites is that you can actually earn money also. There are points system and these points are converted in money when you reach the minimum ammount. Mostly paypal is used for all transactions.

4.Video marketing :

Tools like screenr, camstudio can be used to make videos and add a link of your blog in the starting and ending. Make it as interesting as you can. Then submit them to youtube or metacafe. And start marketing it on youtube by posting or in any other way that you can. I'll leave that upto you. Use whatever you like from facebook to twitter.

5.Article submissions :

If you can submit a very original and thoughtful article to article submission sites,then you can high traffic from these sites. There are some sites given below that can be used to submit high quality articles to get high quality traffic. Remember that these sites won't approve an ordinary article. What they do is that they will include a link back to your blog in that particular article. Some sites are

goarticles, article dashboard ,ezine articles ,buzzle.comarticlecity.com

There are some other kind of article submission sites blogcarnivals. At this site you can submit articles that you wrote on your blog to be included in a list of articles by the hosting blog. If you have a good article with a good title, you can get some good traffic from blogcarnivals.

6.Guest Posting :

Guest posting is posting articles about your blog on other blogger's blogs. Commenting on others blog is also known as guest posting. It can be a great way to get some quick traffic. These days every blog provide the readers an opportunity of guest posting. But your blog post has to be very original otherwise most of the guest posts will get rejected. guest posting can be very helpful because if you got your guest post approved on a very good blog then your article will be seen by thousands of visitors a day. In order to do so, you will have to sacrifice some of your best articles.

 

7.Commenting on forums :

Google some forums related to your topic and start commenting there. But be sure to not giving links in your earlier posts, first you need to get established in that forum by commenting on the questions asked. Initially for some days give a sensible, non-linking answers to the questions. And once you get settled then you can start giving away the links of your blog cleverly.

 

8.Become members of blog communities

these are some sites  mybloglog.com, technorati.com, and blogcatalog.com on which you can sign up and start making good relationships with other bloggers. Become friends with them and then you may get good chances that your blogs links can be shown on your fellow bloggers sites. This will send a few visitors to your site .

9.Links to other blogs :


You can link your blogs to the other blogging sites.What this thing will do is you will have a good reputation if approved otherwise you can get visitors in the form of the respective bloggers. You can also create good relationships with other bloggers and then,its possible you will get your blog linked to their blog.

 

10.Squidoo pages

Squidoo.com, InfoBarrel.com, Hubpages.com are some sites that will allow you to create a simple page about your particular topic. It is seen that these pages often rank higher in search engines like google. So what you can do is set your blog links in the page that will give the traffic back to your blog.


11.SEO

 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is kinda art that makes your site rank higher in the search engines.The traffic that comes through the sarch engines is absolutely free. It takes some time to reach to a quality traffic from the search engines.Obviously search engines like websites that are old and reputable.they won't like the new comers in this market.when you get links from other directories,bloggers,web sites,then search engine starts to take you quite seriously.As you grow in linkings with reputable sites then search engines would start to give you a good amount of increasing traffic.
I won't go deep into SEO because there are many books that can tell you about SEO (i.e. SEOBook) It is always good to have knowledge about anything,as you grow you will start learning from your mistakes.One key to remember is that you need not to go deep in any topic,you just need to know how can you benefit yourself from that particular topic.
Search engines like Google always try to make a perfect system where any searcher can find exactly what they are looking for.though they cannot make it entirely perfect but they won't stop trying. Don’t try to trick them because eventually they will figure it out and will punish you for that.You just need to make a great and relevant content
some tips that can be useful are given below.

A. Title Tags

 

Title tags are the most important part of your website that search engines like google use to determine the what your site is about.They get an idea of your content using Title tags.A title tag is what that shows up in the top side of your browser.So it is necessary to use relevant tags to your site.Tags that contain good keywords will make your site rank higher.For example, if your site is about cricket, then you must use some relevant tag that contains keywords including cricket in it.You can title it as "best cricket moments ever".


B. Keyword search

 

First of all you should decide what are you going to write about in the article. Next step is that you need to know what keywords people search the most in the search engines. And according to that you must place those keywords in your blog or website. If you are master in keyword researches then you can get higher ranks in search engines.

C. Anchor Text

 

You would have seen text, for example, "best engine to search" on clicking which they take you to some website. best search engine is an Anchor link because it takes you to a website google.com, in simple words Anchor text is a text that people use to link,like I have used many anchor texts on my blog.Search engines like Google always pay a great importance on what other people say about them through Anchor text. You can use Anchor texts to link your website or blog on other pages,blog comments,article submissions and in forums. This is how Anchor texts play an important role in SEO. But it only make your site rank higher in search engines but you also get a lot of visitors from the places where you have used Anchor texts.

12.Be consistent and  just don't give up:

Most of the people give up blogging in their early stages. So be patience and just don't give up. Keep trying until and unless you get success.

In an Ideal world you would have a lawyer to draft your privacy policy, but here is given a sample of a privacy policy to make it easier for you to use.


10. ABOUT PAGE :

An about page is a place where you tell visitors about you and your blog or site. It is strongly recommended to have an About page on your blog in order to get approved for adsense. Otherwise chances are that you will not make it for adsense.

HOW TO EARN MONEY FROM A BLOG (every basic)


The purpose of this article is to show you how to create a blog and make money with it.This is homepage of the blog and on this big article there have been given a lots of tips on earning money through blog.(here are some other ways to earn money as well). 

 

This article is very long (like 20 posts or so), but I wanted it to be helpful resource for those who want to make a blog or make some more money from the one they already have and fill their bank accounts.
I have seen a lots of ways to earn money from the internet and i myself have tried many of them but those ways are either not good enough or some of them can not generate the passive income as my prime motive is to generate passive income.

Basics of blogging

 

If you don't know nothing about the blogging then read it from here or If you have got a blog then you can skip this topic.It is not just a small topic.There have been written a whole lots of books on this subject,so I won't be able to cover everything here (If I tried so then only God can help me with my style of blogging) ,well,dudes and dudeess you can easily search a book on our great google or master wikipedia.Lets get started with mind bobbling blogging,whooo....

1. What a blog is?

I won't tell you the technical definition of blogging as it doesn't matter.A blog is something that you can use as a platform for showing the world what information you have got on products,books etc.For example,you people would have shared your experience on various social media sites like most popular facebook, google+ etc.So what blogging is also quite a similar thing but the benefit is that here you can earn money also either through advertisements or selling products,like a website does.Most of the bloggers don’t know any programming language and are not technically skilled persons.One must say, Starting a blog is one of the easiest ways out there to start a website. If you haven’t got a blog yet(If you are reading this then you haven't got one), why not make it? It is quite quick to create and it can be completely free (it depends what kind of site you are looking for,as you further go downward you will understand this).

2.can it be difficuilt to start a blog?

 

No as I posted above ,It is quite easy. Maybe sometimes you can find it confusing but there are lots of help that google can provide you with its resources. Right now there are more than 30 million blogs and youth is quite passionate about it.so if it was hard then people would not have gone through it in this large number.

 

3.Web savvy


my meaning of websavvy is 2o best things to be known before starting a blog . Here Websavvy is nothing but a little functional understanding of various web technologies in order to use them for your blog. For becoming a blogger one neednot to be a programmar ,but he muse understand some basic things ,these basic things are called websavvy. There are many basic things that include these -

1. HTML/CSS,

2.comments,spam

4.Is it a blog costly?


Well you can create a blog as cheap as just for free.Services that offer to start a blog for free are given below.If you are just a beginner then use free so to get wet with blogging. Once you decide you are liking it and wanting to make more money then i would recommend you to move up to a self hosted blog.Getting a self-hosted is quite inexpensive and what you have to pay is like $10 for domain name and some $4 for web hosting monthly.

All 3 of the options given below are free.The first 2 options are very easy to use,I would recommend begginers to use out of these two.As they are free so they are limited in features and controls.If you are well aware of blogs then you should try self hosted blogs so that you will have more control on your blog and earnings will be far more comparing to that of free hosted blog.

Blogger.com – Blogger is an easy to use user friendly set up from google for creating blogs,It is absolutly free to use blogger ,there are given options to customize the theme and as it is free,so blogger.com provides .blogspot.com domain to the user.Beginners can have it but i wouldn't recommend this to the proffesionals.

WordPress.com – like blogger  wordpress is also free,can easily be set up,theme can be customized and their domain name is .wordpress.com.
 
WordPress.org – wordpress.com and wordpress.org both are different as wordpress.com is free but wordpress.org is not free to use.Most of the proffesionals choose wordpress.org.in additon to wordpress.com,wordpress.org provides self hosted wordpress blog and yes,its not free.you get more control over the site and the provided features are also increased. When a beginner reaches to a point where he can afford to have self hosted blog then he must get it.

 

 

 

If you are a beginner and want to use the first two above options as your host then you should skip this section no. 5.

 

5.Setting-up a self-hosted blog


If you are serious about blogging and are looking for the serious ways to customize your blog’s look and other features, then getting a self-hosted blog from WordPress.org is probably the best way to go. It is currently the top choice for most bloggers. It only requires a few bucks but when you have it then you can use your own domain name (for example yourblog.com,yourblog.info etc.).well I recommend you to use only .com names. WordPress.org has a great step-by-step guide to make you set up.Some points are given below on how to stup your blog.

A.Get A Domain Name

 

1. First of all you need to go to a site that sells domain names,for example if you go to hostgator ,first you need to search there that which domain name is available (use any suitable domain you want for your blog,remember that the keywords of your content are in that domain name because search engines like google gives a chance of getting your site in a higher one) ,when you find the desired domain name then you can buy it on their site and hence now your domain is registred.

B.Choose a Suitable hosting plan

 

For storing all your files for your blog you need to have a web-hosting plan.Million web hosting companies are there that can provide you a suitable plan. I wouldn't recommend you searching for a cheapest one because some of them are not reliable and your sight get down at times.Hostgator is best web-hosting company.If you are using hostgator,then you can simply choose a suitable web hosting package .varyhost are very cheap,reliable and have a very good customer support.If you paste this code on their website then you will get 25 % discount there. the 10 character code is- dgkutrsxvh

 

C.Getting a customizable theme

After taking the step the self-host this site, the next step is choosing a highly-customizable theme. I don’t necessarily recommend doing this at the beginning becuse it costs money to have a nice theme, but once you are committed to blogging and are willing to invest a few dollars, putting that money towards a good theme is a good investment.
If you are a programmer,then you can make all the customizations yourself to any basic theme and you will not bee charged for getting themes.


How to make money once you have got a blog 

 

CPC Ad Networks

 

Cost per click ad networks can be used on any website.The most popular and successful one is the Google Adsense. when you apply for them and they approve you (let me tell you,google is very strict in approving sites for their adsense programme,basically you need to have these qualifications), they will read an article and allow you to place ads that are relevant to it and show them in the article. There is one plus point about adsense click here to see more
 

How long does it take to make money from a blog

 

I would again say that blogging is not a get rich quick programme.It takes time,one has to be patient . it depends on your hard work oops smart work that how much time it is gonna take.
There are some tips in this article that will make things go a lot quicker, but there is no getting around the fact that it is going to take time to get there. But just like anything, the more you put in, the more you get out. The two keys are consistency and a willingness to learn. Without them, I would say that it will be very difficult to make money with your blog.

getting traffic to your blogGetting traffic to the blog

 

First of all,You need to write some very good articles and then you have to feature them in your homepage or sidebar. In the beginning, people will not find your blog as it is quite new.

One of the things are that you can learn a lot,but don't go in huge details.You just need to understand how you can make use of that topic. You must not stop when you make a mistake. you must work hard and smart to learn from your mistakes and figure out what the better course of action would be for the next time. You are going to do things wrong, but you just have to keep going and keep learning. Learning how to use Google search is very important.If you learnt how to use google search engine then you can resolve every problem that come across.

 

Don't waste your time


Like I said above be SMART,don't just waste all of your time on just promotion.Checking your stats every hour, reading 500 blogs in your RSS, playing on facebook, Twitter google+, or  Youtube all day will really waste a lot of time. Focus on what provides results and stay disciplined to stick with that. Social media is an important part of building traffic, but you have to keep it in control. You can not depend completely on social media, Though social media is going to be the most perfect place to promote your products,blogs or websites.

 

Have fun


Write what you enjoy the most so you won't get tired about that and your content will be more unique and it will be having some different things that other bloggers might not use in their blogs because you are the master in that topic.So choose the topic that you want to work on and enjoy.

Blogging advice bullets:


1. You have to be patient, because this is not a get rich quick system.Keep up the work until and unless you don't find success.

2. You have to be aware about the things that are going around you,things that worked for you 10 minutes before might not work again.

3. If you are enjoying then you are passionate that is very most important thing in order to work smartly on your blog otherwise you will not get success.

Unseen advantages of blogging

1. You will make very good relationships with people you may never meet.

2. You will learn a lot of cool technical stuff and non technical stuff ,most learning will be on your blog's subject..

HOW CAN YOU MAKE MONEY WITH A BLOG


HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONCE YOU HAVE GOT A BLOG

 

If you are reading this post then i assume you have read my previous post in which i have told you how to make a blog now the question is how can you make money with a blog?

once you have a blog,you can earn money through these ways 

 

CPC Ad Networks

 

Cost per click ad networks can be used on any website.The most popular and successful one is the Google Adsense. when you apply for them and they approve you (let me tell you,google is very strict in approving sites for their adsense programme,basically these are some tips and tricks that you can use on your blog or site for adsense approval), they will read an article and allow you to place ads that are relevant to it and show them in the article. There is one plus point about adsense is that you will have highly relevant ads that will be a great thing for the readers.
For simple example, if you write an article about explaining what social media was, but you didn't give the reader a link where to open one,then what adsense will do is that they would display ads of places to open a social media account. So as a reader, while i am reading the article and think about opening an account then i can simply click on the ad and i'll get one.These days people use another CPC network called Chitika.Well many people use it with Adsense,Though it is known that in terms of earnings made from adsense are far more than you can make from chitika.If u r using blogger or wordpress then adsense won't allow you to place ads in that case you may use chitika or these other Ad companies

CPM Ad Networks

 

well, Adsense and chitika pay through CPC, there are other ad networks that pay through the total no. of impressions (CPM-cost per impression). Chances are that In the beginning, these networks might not pay much money, but when the traffic starts to increase CPM networks can produce more money.These are some  adnetworking sites AdClickMedia, cox didital solution.


Put ads at the right place


You need to understand where people will be more likely to click on the ads.For example, putting an ad at the top center of your page creates good chances of getting clicked. Ad placement is very important as it can easily increase your earnings as well as it can reverse the effect. You will see dramatic changes in your earnings when you just place your ad 1 or 2 inches in the left or right,depending upon your site.

Affiliate marketing


for an example,assume you are a business man who sells furniture.when I find you a customer that buys something from you,then you give me some commission of what you earned by selling that product to the customer.These days every site provide an opportunity for other site owners to become an affiliate marketer.for example,in webhosting we have,hostgator.The main programmes that can be used are given below.
as i said above,there are a lots of sites giving this opportunities but these are the most popular ones.

can it affect your traffic when you put ads?


This is quiet common that most people think that putting the ads on the site may decrease the traffic because due to the ads readers will not come back and visit the site.
Well, this is absolutly not true If you get to be smart.Now how to be smart?
If you put relevant ads on your site then readers will never drive away.Like for a simple example,you wrote about different cellphone companies but you did not give a link to a company to which they can buy a cellphone,so here you missed something,basically relevant ad will provide your readers a link,after the link is clicked one will land to that company's website and hence they will be able to purchase the desired mobile.
I strongly advice you not to put up ads that one will find find annoying.For example when you visit a site and you see ads that are in forms of pop-ups,most of you readers will find these popup ads very annoying.So you should avoide putting up these kind of ads.Even though there is a chance that these kind of ads will make you more money initially (because initially you don't have much traffic,so when a visitor is somewhat forced to click on these ads then you’d make more money) but as your site grows you are sure to lose your readers,they won't come back. In my opinion forced ads decrease the visitor experience too much.
Nothing happenes to a site traffic if the ads are really good and user friendly. I am sure,if you put up more ads and donation links,it will not effect your site traffic.Traffic will continue to increase at the same rate it did before there were a fewer ads. You have to understand one more thing that,in this era there have been a lot of advertising so some people think ads are not good.But it is you who decides what is best for your blog and readers.If the readers find your article to be helpful then they would surely comeback ,regardless of what they say about advertising in public.
Most of the people knows that a blogger is also a human.He must be awarded for his content and should earn income from his/her work. I think it’s perfectly fine to earn money from such a decent work and fill the bank accounts. If you are not getting any appreciation from it, then there are less chances that you would think of making a blog.simple thing is that The more money this blog earns, the more you can put into it to modify it and make the reader experience pleasurable.I’m planning to add some additional services to this site in the years ahead.

use different sources of income


You should not try to need to look for only one adnetwork site instead of thinking.Thinking smart is what I consider the most required thing to get traffic.I can give you an example of different streams that can be used only on one site.Here’s a list:
  1. Google Adsense ads (pay per click & pay per impression advertising)
  2. chitika ads (pay per click)
  3. Donations (via PayPal )
  4. Text Link Ads (sold for a fixed amount per month)
  5. Affiliate programs like Amazon and LinkShare (commission on products sold, mostly books)
  6. Referral programs like hostgator or varyhost (commission on purchases made)
