Christmas SERPs changes

2009-12-01T08:51:00.000-08:00

These days I noticed a lot of change in Google's search ranking pages and results SERPs.
I think this may be due to :
1- Holidays season, Google tries to make top reasults , top trusted ... these days have black hat SEO techniques at maximum ! it will be very embaressing if a site manage to get to top for a world like "Christmas gifts"... I think Google now gives top results to old trusted websites only !

2- The new Google Caffeine with new algorithms.

Yesterday I made a search then made it the same search 2 minutes later, the results were different !!
So, the sure thing there is something changed in Google algorithms at least for now.

When Google Adsense recommend the 250 x 300 rectangle , it is realy honest

2009-11-02T02:09:00.000-08:00

This post is after 1 month of variation and changes in Adsense placements, sizes and colors...
the over all notice is that the 300x250 rectangle which is recommended by Google is really the top CTR ad, the ads according to ctr are :
1- 300 x 250 rectangle
2- 336x300 rectangle
3- horizontal link units
4- 468x 60 banner
5- 768x90 leader board
6- others... vertical link units , square , button .... all the lowest

the best ctr according to colors :
(this I noticed a big variation from different countries, US and Europe visitors tend to click blended ads with no borders , same background as page, Middle east and others tend to click ads that are put on a very contrasted colors as a black back ground on a white page with yellow links !)

Best CTR according to placements
1- Header ... top of page best bellow title or H2 header tags
2- Inside content
3- Footer

After this trial I recommend very much every publisher to continuously change colors, placements and sizes of his ads until reach optimum ctr.

vBulletin wire tranfer bug

2009-10-22T00:43:00.000-07:00

Yeap, while having so many purchase request vBulletin is having a problem in wire transfer orders.
I ordered a license and had this reply :

"Unfortunately there is a bug n our system regarding wire transfer payments and they cannot be processed. I have filed a bug report on this but there is no estimated time for this fix. I will flag this ticket and let you know when this is available. Very sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Steve Machol
Customer Support Manager, vBulletin"

Although payments are already processed from my account...
I hope this issue is solved ASAP ... vBulletin is a really wonderful script.

Longest time payment in progress in Adsense ever

2009-09-30T10:01:00.000-07:00

Payment in progress .. 24 Sept, it may be the most annoying message an adsense publisher allover the world hate to read now! it has been 6 days, now it is the first of October in some countries and they have not been paid.
I normal months it took maximum 2 or 3 days in progress then payment is issued and publishers can happily get thier money at Western Union offices allover the world.
Some think it is a problem at Western Union not Google Adsense, others think it is due to Google employees are busy celebrating the Google's 11th birthday..lol
Also some bloggers wrote it is Google validating all accounts for violations and expecting lots of accounts to get banned (most silly thought I think).
Of course there must be an official announcement about this issue, yet nothing comes from Google ...

Update :
official comment on google blog :

Just wanted to let you know that our engineers are currently investigating the payment issue you've reported -- please visit our Known Issues page, where we'll continue to post updates as soon as we receive them.

Pretty sure : Google dofollow rel="nofollow" links, BUT..

2009-09-14T15:56:00.000-07:00

Now I am 99% sure that Google do follow nofollow links, however the page rank is not assigned.
this is done by :
I put a link of a page not indexed in Google, on a known website which was 100fm6.com, and the page was a profile on a social bookmarking new site.
the profile page was indexed soon the page on the website was crawled.
from my experience Google uses nofollow for only Page rank issue however it follow the links.
this means you should never use nofollow to link to a warez or non-friendly Google sites, Google knows exactly who you link to !

"show more results from" Google favors big sites

2009-08-09T07:12:00.000-07:00

You may notice the new Google search feature : "show more results from" that allows the searcher to view related posts or articles on the same website.

this of course will increase the click through rate for sites showing "show more results from" and thus the will make they come up more in search results.

Has Google contributed in making the life better?

2009-08-04T04:26:00.000-07:00

I think Google made its name in history and this will never change.
Google really contributed in improving the quality of life , how is that :
1- Google gives special respect to scientific research and education search results also there special engine developed for students.
2- Google is very successful on its trial to not show harmful results as porn and hacker in first results.

I think Google made the human life better, no one in any field of life can't make use of Google.

Watch what are you linking to, it matters

2009-08-01T14:08:00.000-07:00

It is very important to keep eye on what your website links to :

1- Many out going links is killing for famous websites this includes advertisments, there are millions of websites over the internet, now it is easy to get back links, you should know that you are passing page rank to every site you link to.

2- Linking to sites not liked by search engines as download sites, stolen software..etc. may get you out of search results

3- Do not provide advertising for any website, you should revise it, advertise only quality websites like adwords.

Site rank decreased in search resluts SERPs

2009-07-31T13:53:00.000-07:00

Once you had a site hitting top search results?
Now it is falling in SERPs?
search your fault among the following :

1- Pop-up advertising, after your site come up, you may find pop-up advertising effective in generating revenue, but it may cost a lot.
2- Copied content , no genuine content.
3- Errors in sitemap, very common.
4- Your site might be hacked?
5- your site is slow, many images or high code/text ratio.
6- links for you are removed from sites linking to you.
7- bad content : serials, cracks, music, movies downloads ... all goes down.

Google changes Search results "SERPs" continuously

2009-07-28T03:14:00.000-07:00

Many webmasters can observe obvious changes in search engine ranking positions specially at Google.
That is why fellows at webmasterworld.com are building a new thread every month to dicuss these changes, but are these really new factors driven to detect better results? or just changes in the websites?
Google said that positions depend on hundred of factors and new factors are added continuously, these updates can be followed on their webmaster Blog or twitter.

May be it is the main rule of universe : "change".

whatever done google will always be a machine and bad links may come up on first results, change is a must.

how to cope with this change?
currently google is focusing on website speed, it is necessary to make most of content in least space possible in kbs, this is good for SEO and for visitors, bounce rate and avg time on website.

Never think that your site made it to top search results, Google will never be a friend to a website while better one is out there, your site hitting top search results does not mean it can not be penalized or ~~"sandboxed"~~, google said there is no such thing.

I personally saw websites falling down after hiting the top at SERPs, main causes and faults are :
1- bad advertising : POP- Ups
2- Heavy pages
3- Keyword stuffing
4- Content : copyrighted content or hack related even if only a part of website.
5- selling links.

you must follow changes by google, try to make your website clean and fast, that's it.

Backlinks may harm !

2009-07-04T16:43:00.000-07:00

yeap!
It is not always good to have back links from lot of sites :
1- if so many in short time it is considered spam
2- if many in long time not related to site activity and users, it is considered paid SEO
3- if from directory, mostly useless
4- if from unrelated site, totally useless

it is important to make the back links increase by flow, let your users give you back links.
if you are a blogger add social bookmarking gadgets, or give the link of the post or page in an html code area, as youtube for example...

Why Blogs Rank High in Search Results

2009-06-30T01:15:00.001-07:00

You may find wordpress and blogspot results rank high in search results, that may annoy you at first if your competitor is a blogger and you paid much for your website.
so, do why blogs rank high?

1- blogs have low code to text ratio that is there is little code on page including javascript, css, flash or even images, this is loved by search engines.

2- static URLs, however Google announced it does not matter to have dynamic or static urls, but word press also offers keywords in URL and in many languages other than English, blogger however put keywords in urls in english language only.

3- No need to sitemap, labels and archives for blogs give almost all links to the blog, also there is some ways as links to develop a ready made sitemap, not needing to build them from th start

4- Wordpress or Blogspot have just strong link profile, it is great to have a site xxx.blogspot.com, your blog act as if it is a sub domain for this high page rank sites, so it is also very easy to get a high page rank from the start.

5- Blogspot automatically correct most HTML errors and notify for others, this limit html errors to minimum which is also appreciated by search engines.

6- wordpress have a very good tagging system, this enriches the pot keywords, and improve keyword density.

It is great to have a blog even you got your website, there is many success stories about blogging, now many bloggers are working from their home, just as me !!

Google hits No 1

2009-06-14T12:02:00.000-07:00

After years of Yahoo ruling the internet by being the most visited site as classified by alexa, now Google rules : Google now is No 1 in alexa, comming before yahoo and msn, to be the most visited site over the internet.
It worth menthioning that a domain like google.com.eg or google.com.ca are different domains and treated differently on alexa !!!
This means a lot

My theory for how to get hight CTR in AdSense

2009-02-25T06:11:00.001-08:00

I think there no such rule that not to make background color or to remove borders or to embed your ads inside your content, my theory is you should do these all together.
People are different kinds, some are interested to click ads because they know others just ignore ads if they look so.
The best thing is to put :
1 ad unit borderless and embedded inside content
1 ad unit with different background color than page
1 ad unit with borders and rounded corners for example

other thing is to distribute ads locations among pages that is to put one in header one in footer and one embedded for example (must not exceed 3 ad units), try not to put 2 ad units beside each other or that they appear on browser near without scrolling down.

Adsense and Global Financial Crisis ِ

2009-01-18T08:29:00.000-08:00

Financial Crisis is hitting hard on AdSense publishers regarding earnings; with low CTR and eCPM
That is because there is decreasing number of advertisers and remaining advertisers are bidding so low.
The few number of ads. will have an impact on CTR where people does not see different ads so, decrease clicking.
I think this crisis will last for a long period, 5 or 6 months.
For me I have this month Jan 2009 : 1/3 eCPM of usual and 2/3 CTR of usual !!
this causes more than 1/2 cut of my monthly revenue from adsense.
I think the only solution now is to improve placements and colors and look forward, and be optimistic that this crisis will end as soon as possible.

God help us all.

Building a specialized blog

2008-12-23T08:53:00.000-08:00

Building a specialized blog as medical or sports blog is for sure better than a general one, find what kind of stuff you are interested and have good knowledge about, try to find what kind of talk your friends like to hear you talking about, this is the most probable talk will make your blog famous online.
I say this because I find a lot and a lot of duplicated blogs, not just copy and past, the whole idea.
You are likely to be a unique webmaster writing about "care of diabetic foot" or how to raise ponies",

Try to deal with your visitors as your friends.

RSS, and best RSS submission sites

2008-02-09T01:48:00.000-08:00

What is RSS?(wikipedia)
Really Simple Syndication is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," "web feed," or "channel," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with their favorite web sites in an automated manner that's easier than checking them manually.

Advantages of RSS for bloggers and webmasters
1- Back linking : it is easy to get back links by comments and some easy primitive SEO work, but having an automated back linking for your updated content is one advantage of RSS submission sites

2-Traffic : however it is very small

3- Better search results for your articles headlines

Best Blog Directories with PR of each

2007-12-30T13:10:00.001-08:00

Submitting your blog to blog directories is the primary basic step for gaining PR and traffic , yet traffic form blog directories is low.
Submission is essential for your blog to be known for search engines
You can see all available blog directories via Google by clicking here

The Blog directories that I found very useful are:
(If you want only 3 or 4 directories to submit your blog to, let them be some of those)

Blogarama PR 7

Blog Flux Directory PR 7 : One of google loved directories it gives your blog a page on it so it is wonderful SEO tool

Blog Catalog PR 7 : also provide a page for your blog with many links in your account and also RSS link

Blog toplist PR 7

Blog Search Engine PR 7

Submit your blog to all of them and you will get traffic and good PR , and traffic also increase your rank in these directories through the tracking code you get to put on your blog
Increased rank get you more traffic and so on ...
I think if you submit your blog to one of these your blog will be listed in search results
these directories

Buying a domain name for a blog

2007-12-30T12:50:00.000-08:00

Usually when your blog starts to become famous or you get some high traffic, the idea of buying a domain name for your blog must have passed through your head ...

You have to know the advantages and disadvantages of this idea before you decide any thing

A Advantages :
1-Buying a Domain name for a blog is the best SEO you can do , yes ... all search engines usually prefer a website on an independent domain .com, .net .org .... rather than any free hosted site
as .blogspot.com, .wordpress.com ....
2-Surely more respected from visitors
3-Higher traffic rank. the reason of this is not so obvious to me but it is so difficult for a blog on free hosting to get among the top 100,000 websites

B Disadvantages :
1-You lose All Back links You Made Before , yes this is the major disadv., you may not lose links as blogger or the host will redirect the old URL to your new domain , BUT Your Page Rank and Search results will retreat and may be unpleasant at first
2-Visitors who bookmarked you at first may not be more able to reach you (Redirection is not always guaranteed )

So the overall Advice is to buy a domain name at first , when you start building your blog
the most favorite domain seller if GoDaddy

Getting Genuine Traffic

2007-12-28T06:34:00.000-08:00

What is Genuine traffic?

Genuine Traffic is that the visitors of a certain site or page really wanted to visit that site or page, the source is usually search engines or organic (from bookmark or written in browser URL bar directly), SO this doesn't include traffic exchange and buying traffic or auto surf programs

Advantages of Getting Genuine Traffic :

1- Getting higher Page Rank, Although Page ranking is determined by sites linking to yours, Genuine traffic is also a measure
2- SEO : The percent of your visitors who really wanted your site or found it useful is measured, this is measured through bounce rate and average time on your web page, this is directly related to how search engines rank you and determine who comes first in search results
3- Marketing and earning money : If you get high traffic rank , you would probably get a sponsor . Almost the first 100,000 sites on the web have sponsors

So, How to get Genuine Traffic

1- Genuine content : Always remain the key for alpha one sites , Do not copy and paste.
2- Description : Very important , write as much as possible with less repetition of words , describe your content wisely and write a long description specially if you are a blogger , write the 500 characters all
3- Rich content : Do not summerise , write as much as you like
4- for bloggers your blog is not usually appreciated by visitors unless it contain about 100 posts
5- Subscribe to Blog Directories and submit your blog in the right category
6- Do some SEO

Revenue Programs You Can Run Together With Adsense

2007-12-25T02:09:00.000-08:00

1-
ًWidgetBucks : New ad network with good looking Advertisements , good earning and pay per click and view and refer,HOWEVER , no one yet have been paid

2-
Text-Link-Ads : you must wait for some one to buys a link on your site , it is a feed you can add so links only appear on your blog

3-
Kontera : must have good content site , underlines certain words on your site and you get paid when clicked

What is Technorati

2007-12-14T02:01:00.000-08:00

Technorati is a very useful site

Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”

But it all started with blogs. A blog, or weblog, is a regularly updated journal published on the web. Some blogs are intended for a small audience; others vie for readership with national newspapers. Blogs are influential, personal, or both, and they reflect as many topics and opinions as there are people writing them.

Blogs are powerful because they allow millions of people to easily publish and share their ideas, and millions more to read and respond. They engage the writer and reader in an open conversation, and are shifting the Internet paradigm as we know it.

Technorati is considered a very powerful SEO tool

It have a high Page Rank and hight alexa Rank , so getting indexed in it is very useful for web bloggers

Adsense Alternatives

2007-12-08T04:11:00.000-08:00

Lots of people get banned by adsense and others have hight traffic but against TOS because of copyright , so there is always a need for alternatives for adsense , However adsense is almost the best ad network .

Here are some Adsense Alternatives with a hint for each :

1- Clicksor : Excellent alternative with high revenue , but need a high traffic site and other conditions for site , you need to have a remarkable site to be accepted

2- AdBrite : The most famous alternative , with various forms of advertisements , good revenue , but non-english sites are difficult to benefit from it

3- Bidvertiser : Nice but much lower revenue than adbrite and adsense , also non suitable for non-english sites

4- AdEngage : major disadv. is you must wait until some one buys advertisement on your site , so non suitable for low traffic and non-famous sites

5- Yahoo Publisher Network : Excellent alternative but not suitable for non-English sites , For USA only

6- Text-link-ads : Good and you can publish it together with Adsense , but you must wait until some one buys a link in your site

others :

Adagency1
Advertising
Auctionads
Kontera

What to do when some one tries to close your Adsense acount

2007-11-28T22:57:00.000-08:00

Adsense is so fragile,
this is a fact , Unfortunately your adsense account can get easily banned if some one wants , there are different ways such as large number of invalid clicks and putting your site in an auto-surf ...

So what can you do ?
just follow these steps

1- If you notice any increase in clicks or impressions , Remove Adsense ASAP and contact Google at adsense-support@google.com

2- You must review the mail you subscribed with in Adsense , because if you Violate the rules they send you an e-mail and give you chance for 3 days then you get banned

3- you must know that this problem (getting banned because of some one else ) is very common and you must expect it at any time

4- Subscribe in Google Analytics to know the auto-surf or other Programs or sources of traffic that could get you banned

5- Do not depend all time and work on Adsense , Take chances with other programs

6- Use Adsense channels , because some time the fool that want you to get banned may take the code only and put it in an illegal site

Blogging with Adsense ... The basic step

2007-11-22T13:17:00.001-08:00

First of all I would like to enumerate some tips for blogging with Adsense , This would be the main theme of this blog ,

1-GENUINE CONTENT is the clue , you can get high ranks and good search engine results with genuine content . Search engines are the best source of traffic and so the best source of revenue with adsense.

2-Never start a blog just for adsense , write about what you like , blogging or making a site just for Adsense get you bad ranks and search results , it is called MFA site , it is hated by google and visitors , just write about what you love or like to write about and try to be unique .

3-Better to write with Blogger.

4-Imagine that you are a visitor to your blog , what would you like , make it good looking and ask your friends about their opinion.

5-Update your blog and add new posts at least weekly .

6-Concentrate on organising and proper arrangement.

7-After you made a good genuine blog with proper amount of content , submit your blog to high ranked directories and high ranked social bookmarking sites as Digg.com , also to search engines and RSS sites.

8-Creat your blog site map and submit it to google and yahoo.

9-After you have done all this subscribe with Adsense.

10-Don't quit easly ... be patient and most sites and blogs get high traffic by aging , and always remember visitors = revenue.

11-Change your adsense colors and placement from time to time and try to fix to the highest revenue placements , in my opinion I don't think that this is effective but a lot of publishers think so . Don't ask someone to tell you about the best colors or formates , try them by yourself.

Good Luck ,

Reasons of low adsense earnings per click

2007-10-11T18:20:00.000-07:00

Lot of adsense users receive large number of clicks with low earning
here are some reasons and how to solve this problem

1-Low paying keywords : is the most common reason, you might build a site about something you love, but you find that your keywords are not paying well...
Solution : really I find building a blog or site about something you like is much more better than building a site for adsense , if still haven't built your site yet try to find high paying keywords here
If you have built your site already, you have not got much to do , try to make other pages on your site with high paying keywords.

2-Low paying ads : now there is a lot of sites that pay very low per click
Solution : Filter these sites using competitive ad filter is adsense setup, there is no such list for these sites , for every site there are certain ads that appear , you should try to filter sites that pay low , usually these sites appear more often , so try start with them to filter , change your filter list and try to notice the change per click

3-Visitors : Adsense higher for clicks from Europe and USA
because they are the internet buyers
Solutions : try to attract USA and European visitors

4-Your site language : ads appear according to language
Solution : best is english

5-Your site : every site has a rank and Google adsense earnings and ads that are displayed on your site depend on its rank
Solution : try to get a high rank and put genuine content , wait...site aging and continuity is a factor.

Low CTR reasons

2007-10-08T16:15:00.000-07:00

Why you might have a low click through rate CTR ..

Here are some reasons :

1-Untargeted traffic : is the major reason ..you might get visitors who are not looking for your content, this may be due to bad choice of your keywords.
solution : wise choice of keywords , genuine content , useful content

2-High number of pages : you must know that adsense impressions doesn't depend on unique visitors, it depends on page views.. so you might have 20 pages and have 20 visitors / day so you get impressions of 400 while there is only 20 people visited your site and about 2 clicked your ads
so your CTR will be 0,5 % which you will see as very low
solution : if this is the only reason , don't change it .. high number of pages is good and increase your alexa rank..keep it genuine and keep up the good work

3-Bad presentations : now most websites use adsense ..as a visitor, imagine how boring it will be that most sites have the same shape of advertisements
solution : try unusual forms of adsense as link ads..

4-Bad placing : most sites put ads at header or at the top..it is really good..but better is embedding in the content and link ads under the site link list ..most people recommend the large rectangle , but why don't you go for the button or half banner the are not used a lot and they appear attractive for me
solution : try embedding in your content..and embed small ad formats don't place a large rectangle in small width article .. don't annoy your reader.

5-Having so much adsense in a single page
solution : remove some ads dude..

Tips on Staying out of the Google Sandbox

2007-10-06T15:56:00.000-07:00

The “sandbox, ” is a place where Google will often put newly created domains and websites that is like a probation period. Once in the sandbox, the website will not be listed on search engine results pages. In essence, the website will not exist on Google, which means that for all intents and purposes, the website barely exists at all.

1) Build Links the Right Way – Directories, social bookmarking, articles, and press releases are the only things I use on a new site. I never trade links until my website is strong enough to trade with quality, relevant websites. The link building should be steady and even. Submitting to 500 directories the week after a website is launched is an easy ticket into the sandbox, in my opinion. Build them slowly – 30 the first week, 50 each of the next two weeks, 75-100 per week after that. For SB sites, 1 a day is great. There are literally hundreds that are search engine friendly, so get them in there slowly. Include you link in press releases and articles at a good pace, 1-4 per month.

2) Adding Content Regularly – If you have 100 pages, reveal them to Google through internal linking and sitemap additions at a steady pace. Keep track f which pages are being indexed. Avoid duplicate content at all costs. If you have a blog (or if it is a blog), make sure you are posting at least twice a week at a steady pace. No scraping, no RSS feeds for the first few weeks after first getting indexed, and no worthless, keyword stuffed content. Make it good.

3) No Spamming – If you want your site sandboxed, plug it in to blog comments and forum signatures in bulk. Digg every page. Use black hat techniques. You’ll be sandboxed in a couple of weeks. Adding your links through forum signatures is not bad, especially if it’s in a relevant forum that can bring traffic. It should still be avoided in the infancy of a website, at least until the inbound link count is large enough that the sig-links are but a tiny portion.

4) Long Tail Shield – It is my belief that Google believes websites must work their way up a hierarchy. Using anchor text, go after several (dozens, even hundreds) of long-tail keywords. Establish you website there first, then move on to the broader, more competitive ones. If you are starting an automotive classified site with dealers nationwide, the natural tendency is to go after “Used Cars” or a similar keyword. It will take years. First, go after “Used Honda in Dallas” or “Miami Preowned Accord.” Once you do well there, move on to tougher searches like “Used Cars Oklahoma City”. Graduate to “Used Car Search”. You’ll notice one day after a few months (assuming the site is properly optimized) that you pop up #78 on “Used Cars”. That is when it is time to go after the prize.

There is no hard evidence that the sandbox is completely avoidable, no matter what tactics are used. Technically, there is no hard evidence that the sandbox exists.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Tips and Tricks

2007-10-04T13:58:00.000-07:00

1. On Page Optimization:
• After making a thorough research on the keywords, use the keywords in the metatags, titles and contents of your webpages.
• Try using about 2 keywords in the contents of a single webpage.

2. Off Page Optimization:
• You need to have a high page rank to be placed at a top position in a search engine. Linking to a website having a high page rank will serve this purpose.
• To convince a website of high page rank is the job that requires all your efforts as websites with a high page rank do not always link to websites having lower page rank than theirs.
• So you need to convince them to that extent to trade links or else you can always opt for the easy way to get a high page rank by paying the websites of higher page rank to link to your website. Of course paying to link with high page rank websites is possible only with websites who offer such a feature.
• Another simpler option is buying expired domains that already have a high page rank.

3. Beat your competitor in search engine ranking: Don’t try to beat the search engine. Try to beat your competitor website and try to do at least one thing better than them and continue this till you see some visible changes in the search engine ranks.

4. Popular search terms are better than keywords: Using the most popular and highly sorted out search term is better than using popular keywords.

5. More the number of pages of your website, the better is your page rank.
• Less number of pages with a high density of keywords won’t attract the search engines as much as more number of pages in a website with limited keywords.
• Eg: Wikipedia has millions of pages and so for almost any search term you find it in the top 10 search results. This wasn’t achieved in a day, the pages were added little by little and finally their count grew to millions.
• Rather than cramping everything in a single webpage, distribute it among different webpages.
• A single webpage could have 400-800 words per page.

6. To increase your webpages, you could start writing articles on a regular basis. For this you can write it yourself or heir a Ghostwriter who may charge you around $5 per article or borrow it from an article website and publish it on your website keeping the author’s resource box intact.

7. Your website should have a newsletter feature.
• Subscribers of your newsletter will judge you by the quality of the content that you send them.
• So sit down to write some quality content for your newsletter.
• Even if you have 5-10 people who have signed up for your newsletter, you can get 80% of the sales from them.

8. On subscribing for your newsletter, provide the subscribers with some bonuses to entice them to visit your website again and again.

9. Give away reports on topics related to your website contents to your newsletter subscribers using autoresponders.

10. Submit your articles to E-zines, article directories etc., as these websites have huge traffic and your article thus can experience great exposure and the links back to your website can get huge website traffic too. These links placed here, are of great value to your website and thus placing your article in such websites gets traffic and backlink benefits.

11. Other than submitting articles in E-zines and article directories also try submitting your article to various websites that have contests similar to your article. This article should have links back to your website, so that the traffic experienced by their website could be redirected to yours too in exchange of the articles. The articles written for your website, as well as submitted to different websites should follow certain strategies like:
• Find search terms that are searched at least 100 times per day but not more than 1 million times per day.
• Use these keywords throughout your article with a density of 3-7% per article. You could also use these keywords in the title of your article.
• Spend some time thinking of an attractive title for your article.
• Your article should have a good opening paragraph, so that people would go through your entire article with interest.

12. Make use of article announcement list which is quite similar to article directory where most of the visitors are generally webmasters in search of a quality article to be published on their website.

13. Submit your website in popular directories for increased traffic and backlinks. Submit your website only when it is fully functional to avoid rejection by the directories.

14. Join webmaster’s forum and try becoming a problem solver over there.
• Advice the forum members to find a solution to their problems.
• Ask for their opinions and comments for any of your works.
• If you have a blog of your own, then tell them about it and you could also mention about various posts that would help them find a solution to their problems and from the blog direct them to your website.
• If you direct them directly to your website they will feel as if you are there just to get traffic for your website ad not really there to advice them for solutions.

15. Beware of certain websites that provides codes, which you may be asked to place on your website to get 1000 of links to your website in minutes, but after this you website will certainly get removed from the search engines results. So beware and avoid risks.

16. Classifieds submission to get traffic for your website was once considered a very profitable deal but now due to its overcrowding, it is not so popular to attract traffic, although you do have chances of getting traffic from classified websites too. As its submission is for free might as well give it a try. Always use keywords to write your classified ads.

17. If you are a part of an affiliate network where the websites would like to refer their visitors to each other’s websites, then share posts, articles, newsletters with your website links placed on it, with such websites. You affiliates could use them for their own newsletters and finally, you are trying to help them send visitors to your website.

18. Set up your own blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com to display your website’s articles. Here your content gets maximum reviews and could thus help you improve your website content, making use of these reviews.

19. Once you blog becomes quite popular, submit your blog’s RSS to RSS directory to get more traffic.
• For Bloggers.com, it is “Yourdomain.blogspot.com/atom.xml”
• For wordpress.com, it is “yourdomain.com/feed/”

20. Write press releases.
• Press releases are the notifications that you send to media about noticeable and newsworthy information to get media attention and advertising for free.
• As press releases you can send your website poll information, latest survey information with special reports and mention that this was solely carried out by your website.
• Before writing your press release, go through some of the sample press releases already available on the website, so that you come to know about the format in which a press release has to be presented.
• Avoid presenting it as some advertising copy.

21. Newspaper press releases: When you write a press release, you can also mail the press release to the editor of a newspaper column where you want your press release to appear. The same could be done to printed magazines too.

22. The content of a single webpage should not exceed more than 400-800 words as search engines would not like to go through each and every word of your webpage. Distribute your contents over different webpages if the content is too long to be displayed in a single webpage, this will allow you to target more keywords.

23. If you want your visitors to click a particular link in your website, you could use the terms like “ Not many people know about this link.”

Adsense Maximization Tips

2007-10-02T11:42:00.000-07:00

Invite friends to draw a heat map of your site

Invite some friends over coffee and ask them to explore your blog like the navigation bars, categories, search, etc. Sit when them to understand what areas on the site grabs their attention and what remain neglected. Also automatically record their mouse movements in background using a free software called Mouse Map.

Once you collect data from 5-10 people, you will get a better understanding of how visitors interact with your site - the areas that receive maximum focus might be a good place for advertising. [Original Idea by Darren Rowse]

Important: To ensure that your friends do not accidentally click on the Google Ads, replace your ads with static graphics or change the value of google_ad_client.

When Content is Variable, Force CPM Ads

The content of your homepage, archives and category pages will vary almost every day and therefore Google may serve ads which are out of context.

Since non-targeted ads have a poor conversion rate, use only “Image Ads” on these page that can are generally CPM in nature and are in available in Image, Flash and Video formats. You may not be making revenue from clicks but the impressions will slowly add up. [Original Idea by Jennifer Slegg]

Remove Adsense from Poorly Performing Pages

Use channels to track the effective earnings from Adsense on your webpage and remove the Adsense code from pages that aren’t performing well.

Similarly, if you own ten different websites, remove Adsense code from sites that aren’t bringing in any revenue. Google uses a concept called Smart Pricing that applies to all sites owned by an Adsense Publisher.

Niche Sites
Targeted niche sites that have a clear theme, tend to generate more advertising revenue simply because it is easier for these sites to achieve decent search engine placement. Be warned though, you want to choose a niche where there is a sufficient number of advertisements available.

Target Keywords
When determining the site's focus, consider how much advertisers pay for the advertisements. If the site is focused on ringtones, like Ringtone Central http://www.ringtones-central.com the payout per-click is going to be very small because ringtones are not high ticket items and advertisers will not spend a lot on pay-per-click advertisements. With less obvious markets use Overture to determine how much advertisers pay-per-keyword. It is usually similar on Google. Search Overture for a keyword then click "View Advertisers' Max Bids" in the top right corner. This will show the Overture inventory and how much is paid per keyword. Because the market has become very competitive, it is difficult to rank well in search engines with a new website that is optimized for the terms that have the highest payout. Consider targeting terms that are moderately priced.

Aged Sites / Time
Over time as a website is spidered by Google, advertisements will generally increase in relevance. In general, older websites will rank better in search engines. The closer the advertisements relate to the webpage's content; the higher the "click-through" the publishers will see.

Optimize each page for adsense

Research competitive keywords using a keyword research tool such as Overture's keyword suggestion tool at http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ or grab a list of the most popular keywords from various sources and use them in your web site pages where relevant. There is a great article at - http://searchenginewatch.com/facts/article.php/2156041 - which is a great way to find frequently searched keywords. By using these popular keywords, you're opening the door for Google to place higher paying ads on your website. The more popular the keyword or phrase, the higher AdWords advertisers are generally willing to pay per click. This results in much higher rates of commission for you on each of those clicks.

Use Google's Custom Channels for each of the ad units on your site

Google has provided web site publishers with some great tools to help you analyze and tweak your adsense ads. Give each unit a unique name and then analyze the results and keep tweaking them until you get the desired results from them. If they are not working were they are placed, move them. Try changing the colors and integrating them differently into the text and keep detailed notes on the changes you are making and see which one's make the biggest change to your CTR (Click Through Rate).

Blend you Adsense ads into your web pages

This next tip is one of the simplest changes I made but had a huge effect on my earnings. Make links the same color as your existing text links. Don't try and make the ads stand out on the page by using bright colors as all this achieves is making a big warning sign that these are ads and the majority of people will then not click on the links. By making the links the same color as your links, it looks like they are an extension of your page. If you use the tip above and optimize each page for specific keywords then the ads served on the page will be related to the information on the page and you'll see your CTR shoot up.

And finally, a tip that I advise for all aspects of website marketing, not just for adsense purposes is, learn from the masters. There are plenty of people making thousands of dollars in adsence earnings every month and have gone through all the trial and error iterations that need to be done to find the most successful way to maximize your adsense earnings. My advice, invest in their courses. They pay for themselves in a very short period of time.

Adsense vs Adbrite

2007-10-02T11:40:00.000-07:00

1. Adsense does not accept Casino, adult and Viagra sites. Adbrite does.

2. If you have a site which is high traffic like Humour where adsense your earnings is low, with adbrite your earnings will be great. Good examples: Big-Boys.com with Over 490,000 Unique visitors and FriendSter.com with Over 620,000, Unique visitors. Those two sites are a low earning with Adsense (proved) but with adbrite their earnings are thousands of dollars per month (may be per day!)

3. Customer care, I will not say that Google Adsense does not have a good customer care, but adbrite is Great! Pud, I will congratulate you about this great support team.

4. With Google adsense you can not sell Ad space in your site, but with Adbrite you can create your own Price and Packages. Also adbrite provide you with Network ads (as Google adsense).

5. Google adsense pay monthly, Adbrite pay 60-days.

6. With Google adsense you can not play with your code, with adbrite, you can add any style that you want. Play with it!

7. You can put Adsense and Adbrite code both, Without any problem.

8. A Small note: Adbrite works great in forums ;)

9. With adbrite the seller has a great advantage showing what the site provides. As unique visitors, Page views, Origin of traffic, Avg cost per click (eCPC), Site Category, Alexa rank, Repurchase rate, Conversion Score, AdBrite since, What CPC can I expect?, Ad zone description, and much more.

Adsense vs bidvertiser

2007-10-02T11:39:00.001-07:00

Pros for Using BidVertiser
1. BidVertiser pays via Paypal. AdSense pays via check. Paypal deposit is quicker to get than a check.

2. The minimum payout from BidVertiser is $10. AdSense has a minimum payout of $100, which takes more time to reach. Many beginning advertisers give up on the early stages of using AdSense and never realize any of the profits for their labor.

3. You can choose to have links opened in a separate window. This allows users to stay on your website and hopefully click on other ads on the website.

4. You can manually approve ads. You don't have this control with AdSense.

5. When creating your ads, you can see a template for what the ad will look like before you put it on your site. For AdSense, you have to click on a separate link, for example, to see what a 234x60 ad looks like. This is excellent for beginners, but also for experienced users because the default selection on AdSense is 728x90 "Leaderboard", which many times is not what you want.

6. You can choose to display eBay auction ads (by default) or not. AdSense does not allow you this freedom.

7. Finally, a very good thing, you can see how much money the advertisers are bidding for the ads that will show on your website. You can't see that information from AdSense; you have to use some other system, like AdWords, to get an idea how profitable your ads can be for your niche.

Cons for Using BidVertiser
1. Some people experience slow page loads with BidVertiser compared to AdSense. This is a problem, because users don't like slow sites. They will go to the next one if yours is too slow.

2. Ads are not as relevant as the ones from AdSense. For example, I have a blog about chronic pain, and some of the ads I saw on my site were about dieting. Of course, I can manually block those ads that are not relevant. But the problem is that there were a lot of ads that were not relevant. There is no such problem with AdSense because you have more advertisers using AdSense than any other ad system.

3. AdSense pays more per click. This is not always true; it depends on the keywords that you use. But like I said on the previous point, there are more advertisers competing for AdSense ads, and competition in this case is good.

4. AdSense has a better reputation. Some people complain that BidVertiser did not pay them when the minimum payment reached the $10. Some people say that BidVertiser does pay. You have to experiment on your own to find out.

AdSense Optimisation: Creating Channels

2007-09-30T06:35:00.000-07:00

The AdSense URL channel setup window.

One of the brilliant things about AdSense is that you can paste your HTML and implement ads on any web page you have control over. Google only vet the primary URL you submit with your AdSense application - where you paste your code after that is up to you. A problem arises that if you have several sites, each with several pages and several AdSense elements you can't easily keep track on which ads are performing and which aren't. You will want to focus your attention on under performing AdSense elements, instead of messing about with those that have a good click-through-rate, but how do you know which ads need fine tuning? By the use of channels is the answer. AdSense allows publishers to monitor their ads using two types of channel - 'URL channels' to see how particular sites are performing and 'Custom channels' to see how a particular type of ad is performing.

URL channels can be used to track ad performance across an entire domain or sub domain. Suppose you had a website which incorporated a forum, guestbook and blog and you wanted to know which of these pages got the most clicks - you can easily achieve this by setting up channels for each of these URLs. URL channels can be used to monitor AdSense for content (traditional ad and link units), AdSense for search (Google search boxes) and Referral buttons.

URL channels are easily implemented as follows:

Log into your AdSense account.

Click on the AdSense Setup tab.

Click on the Channels link.

Select either the AdSense for content, AdSense for search or Referrals tab in the panel that appears.

Click Add new URL channel.

Type the web address for the channel in the box that appears (omit the 'www').

Click Create new channel.

You are able to create a maximum of 200 different URL and custom channels combined. Display your individual channel reports by logging into your account, clicking the Reports tab and then clicking the Advanced Reports link.

Backlinking

2007-09-30T06:34:00.001-07:00

Leaving comments on websites and blogs is the ideal way of getting those all important inbound links. If you aim for sites of a similar theme and higher PageRank you've got it sorted. I am not advocating spamming - spam is the scourge of webmasters worldwide and you're likely to get spammed a hundred-fold in return. You must always read the article you are responding to, form a quick and reasoned opinion and then write something of relevance. If it is the first time you have commented on a particular site it is worthwhile reading the comment guidelines beforehand.

I have a tried and tested strategy for leaving comments. It works - I have been able to obtain inbound links from PR6, 7 and 8 webpages relatively easily. Most blog comment links are 'no follow' meaning, in theory, that they can't pass PageRank to the destination page. In practice these are still a potential source of traffic and have value for search engines apart from Google. I have thought long and hard about whether to share this strategy with my readers, because some of you might notice that I have tried this on your site! Below I outline the key points of my strategy:

Aim for websites that are relevant and have a higher PR than your own.

Only choose those that allow comment writers to leave their link (sounds obvious). Quite often the comment field will ask for your name, email address and web address. In the published comment your name usually appears as the anchor text - you may like to leave a different name which is more favourable anchor text (I'd recommend you do, but nothing that sounds too spammy).

If the comment guidelines allow it you can append your link after your comment as well.

Only aim for websites that display comments on the same webpage (at the same URL) as the article. Do not leave comments on sites that display comments in pop-ups.

Check the PR of the actual article you are commenting on. Quite often the homepage of a site will have a high PR, but the page with the article (and comments) will have a lower PR. Don't make the mistake of thinking PR8 site means PR8 articles - it isn't true.

Here's an example of what I mean in the above point: An article called 'Comment for Backlinks' appears on the front page of a PR8 blog at the URL randomsite.com/index.html. When a new article is published the URL of 'Comment for Backlinks' becomes something similar to randomsite.com/2007/01/01/comment-for-backlinks.html and it is a PR0 page

For the reason above always look through the archive to find an article to comment on. Go well back in time so that the article has been well crawled by the Googlebot, has lots of incoming links itself and has an updated PR.

Aim for articles that have relevant keywords in the URL.

Avoid trawling for multiple articles on the same website. Ideally you need to use this strategy on several sites at the same time. Keep an eye open for new sites with a similar content to your own.

Remember that if you have a PR0 site it doesn't take too many PR6 or PR7 inbound links to give you a good advantage in the next PageRank update. I hope you can use this strategy to gain some quality inbound links and if you've found it useful please link to us and spread the word!

Google Gadget Ads

2007-09-30T06:25:00.000-07:00

Last week Google introduced a brand new ad format to their AdSense collection - the Google Gadget Ad. It differs from existing formats in that it's interactive, allowing the person viewing it to play a small game, perform a search or similar. The idea is that they'll provide better value to AdWords advertisers and benefit AdSense publishers by keeping visitors at their site for longer.

Thankfully gadget ads are governed by the same high editorial standards as standard ad units, so there'll be no irritating smilies saying "hello" and tapping on the inside of your screen. I hate those!

If you're ready to start displaying gadget ads on your website you can increase the chances that they'll be shown by making sure you're opted in to image ads and using one of the image ad formats. Please note that the most popular sizes for gadget ads are the rectangle, leaderboard, and skyscraper formats.

Google AdSense Account Blocked What Should You Do?

2007-09-23T16:49:00.000-07:00

Once you have decided to take your marketing campaign to Google's AdSense pay per click program, you agree to a number of rules including:

- No hidden pages. You must have a clear hierarchy and each page needs at least one link to get there.
- No broken links. If you link outside of your site, make sure you check your links often. No more than 100 links per page.
- When designing your site, create one that is helpful to a user; don't design a page for search engines. Make sure you clearly define what your site is about.
- Your TITLE and ALT tags should be precise and descriptive.
- You need a site map to help users find what they are looking for if your menu doesn't.
- No hidden text.
- No redirection of your site

Even if you follow all these design rules, you may still be at risk of losing your AdSense advertiser account or have temporarily been fined a penalty in the form of your ads being removed from rotation on other sites. The penalty may go away with time, but it's best to double and triple check your site then file a re-inclusion request (instructions below.) Include in your request which changes you've made and that it won't happen again.

Your competitors might have a plan that could get you banned. It's called "click bombing" and it's against Google's policy.

Click bombing happens when someone, be it a competitor or not, repeatedly clicks the pay per click ad for a business in order to raise flags with Google. Google rates their ads based on relevance, so the more an ad is clicked, the more relevant it becomes, and the higher up the list it moves. This has made it very easy for business owners to move themselves up the relevance list, so Google countered this practice by red flagging any business that has a significant spike in AdSense hits. If the hits all trace back to the same IP address or addresses, the advertiser is removed for "invalid clicks".

Finding out about this strength in Google's search engine, sneaky competitors have started to exploit it by purposely clicking the competitions ad again and again, in order to ban the ad.

If this has happened to you, or if you've been banned for violation of any of the design or technological terms of your contract, you can sometimes have it overturned by contacting customer support. You can contact Google support by visiting http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py. Make sure you type "Re-inclusion Request" in the subject of the email. Keep your request simple, short and to the point. No need to threaten Google that you'll stop advertising with them or list how long you've been a customer.

It is imperative, though, that you run reports frequently and store the data outside of your Google account. This will help prove to Google that a click bombing happened should you be removed. You are not guaranteed a reversal, however. In fact, most pleas to Google to have a banned account go unheard.

If you don't get a positive response from Google, you may want to check out some of the other pay per click programs, like Yahoo! Publisher Network or the many affiliate programs online.

Google Adsense Top Earnings

2007-09-22T15:55:00.000-07:00

1.Plentyoffish.com receives up to 500 million page views per month and make over $10,000 per day for Markus, who runs the site from home.

2. Kevin Rose: Digg.com - $250,000 per month

Kevin Rose started Digg in December of 2004 with just $1000. Today Digg is one of the biggest news sites on the Net, with over 400,000 members and over 200 million page views per month

3. Jeremy Shoemaker: Shoemoney.com $140,000 per month

ShoeMoney, as he likes to be called, does not own just one site. He makes his enormous Google checks using hundreds of sites and thousands of domains.

4 Jason Calacanis: Weblogs, Inc. - $120,000 per month

Before Jason Calacanis sold Weblogs, Inc to AOL for $25 million, he got the network of blogs making over $4,000 a day from Google AdSense.

5. Tim Carter: AskTheBuilder.com - $30,000 per month

Tim Carter is a licensed master plumber and carpenter with his own radio show. He also makes frequent television appearances. He founded AsktheBuilder.com in 1995.

1: Markus Frind: PlentyOfFish.com - $300,000 per month

Markus Frind is a local Vancouverite who is turning the online dating world upside down. His site, Plentyoffish.com is the biggest free dating site on the Internet. Plentyoffish.com receives up to 500 million page views per month and make over $10,000 per day for Markus, who runs the site from home.

You think a site this big would be staffed by a hundred people but the only employee that Markus has is his girlfriend, who helps to answer the emails. Markus coded Plenty of Fish all by himself. The site is lean and mean and requires only four servers to handle all that traffic.

Doubts about Makus’s Google earnings were silenced when he posted this $900,000 check from Google. According to Markus’s blog entry, the check represented two months of AdSense earnings.

2: Kevin Rose: Digg.com - $250,000 per month

Kevin Rose started Digg in December of 2004 with just $1000. Today Digg is one of the biggest news sites on the Net, with over 400,000 members and over 200 million page views per month. According to this article from Business week, Digg will make $3 million this year from a combination of Google AdSense and Federated Media ads. Unfortunately, only Mr. Rose and his accountants knows how much came from Google and how much came from Federated Media. I can try to take a guess based on the number of times I have seen a Federated Media ad vs. a Google ad on Digg but, being in Canada, it’s almost 100% Google ads.

Whatever Google’s share of Digg’s $250,000 per month in ad revenues may be, one thing is for sure, it is not small.

3: Jeremy Schoemaker - $140,000 per month

If ever anyone can be considered an Internet marketing superstar, ShoeMoney would be near the top of the list. Jeremy Schoemaker is a search engine marketer who knows how to take advantage of both Google AdSense and AdWords. In the above photo, you see him with the biggest Google AdSense check he has ever received from Google. The income was earned back in the month of August 2005. Since then Mr. Schoemaker has moved to wire transfers. No doubt, he got tired to dealing with the bank tellers when trying to deposit $100K plus checks every month.

Unlike the other Google whores on this list, ShoeMoney, as he likes to be call, does not own just one site. He makes his enormous Google checks using hundreds of sites and thousands of domains.

4: Jason Calacanis: Weblogs, Inc. - $120,000 per month

Before Jason Calacanis sold Weblogs, Inc to AOL for $25 million, he got the network of blogs making over $4,000 a day from Google AdSense. So impressive was his AdSense performance that Google used Weblogs for a case study.

Now that AOL controls Weblogs, you can bet it is making a lot more than a measly $120,000 a month.

5: David Miles Jr. & Kato Leonard - $100,000 per month

According to this Washington Post article, David Miles Jr. and Kato Leonard, claims they make $100,000 a month from their site, Freeweblayouts.net, which gives away designs that people can use on MySpace.

The only problem with the revenue figure is it is not 100% AdSense. Free Web Layouts use other advertising networks in addition to Google. However, with a claimed $100,000 per month in revenues, I am fairly confident that the AdSense portion is higher than our next Google whore.

6: Tim Carter: AskTheBuilder.com - $30,000 per month

Tim Carter is a licensed master plumber and carpenter with his own radio show. He also makes frequent television appearances. He founded AsktheBuilder.com in 1995, The primary focus has been catering to an avid following of fellow builders on the site. According to the Google case study, Mr. Carter did such a good job tweaking the Google ads on his site that it now makes $30,000 a month.

Tim’s AdSense revenues now average $1400 a day and growing. Overall, Carter is enthusiastic about AdSense: it allows him to focus on content development, and gives him built-in tools to measure ad performance and make changes to maximize revenues. “People come to me for help,” says Carter. “They get what they need from my columns and advice - and also from ads delivered by AdSense.”

7: Joel Comm - $24,000 per month

Joel Comm is get rich quick guru. He wrote the best selling e-book, What Google Never Told You About Making Money with AdSense. The e-book, along with the website that promotes it has a screen shot of Mr. Comm AdSense earning from November 19, 2005 to December 15, 2005. Whether or not Mr. Comm still makes this much from Google is anybody’s guess.

8: Shawn Hogan – DigitalPoint.com $10,000 per month

Back in January of 2005 the New York Times had an article about AdSense, featuring Shawn Hogan, founder of DigitalPoint. The article states that Mr. Hogan makes $10,000 per month from Google AdSense using a very unique revenue sharing model.

Google pays Digital Point about $10,000 a month, depending on how many people view or click on those ads, said Shawn D. Hogan, the owner and chief technology officer of Digital Point.

Mr. Hogan said he started the revenue-sharing approach in 2004 “as kind of a marketing gimmick.”

“But everyone seemed to think it was a cool idea,” he said. “I saw a lot of other sites doing the same thing maybe six months later.”

DigitalPoint have grown a lot since that article and while Mr. Hogun would not say anything, the DigitalPoint forum members speculate that he is making at least twice that amount now.

Webmaster Guidelines

AdSense publishers are required to adhere to the webmaster quality guidelines posted at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html.

Site and Ad Behavior

Sites showing Google ads should be easy for users to navigate and should not contain excessive pop-ups. AdSense code may not be altered, nor may standard ad behavior be manipulated in any way that is not explicitly permitted by Google.

Sites showing Google ads may not contain pop-ups or pop-unders that interfere with site navigation, change user preferences, or initiate downloads.
Any AdSense code must be pasted directly into webpages without modification. AdSense participants are not allowed to alter any portion of the code or change the behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads. For instance, clicks on Google ads may not result in a new browser window being launched.
A site or third party cannot display our ads, search box, search results, or referral buttons as a result of the actions of any software application such as a toolbar.
No AdSense code may be integrated into a software application.
Webpages containing AdSense code may not be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings, or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code.
Referral offerings must be made without any obligation or requirement to end users. Publishers may not solicit email addresses from users in conjunction with AdSense referral units.
Publishers using online advertising to drive traffic to pages showing Google ads must comply with the spirit of Google's Landing Page Quality Guidelines. For instance, if you advertise for sites participating in the AdSense program, the advertising should not be deceptive to users.

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed in a pop-up, pop-under, or in an email.
Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads.
No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.
No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.

Competitive Ads and Services

Although you may sell ads directly on your site, it is your responsibility to ensure these ads cannot be confused with Google ads.

SEO

2007-09-22T15:24:00.001-07:00

Title Tag
With Title Tag included at every page, it can be the most powerful on-site SEO technique. You have to determine the exact targeted keywords inside the Title Tag because it will be used as your Title in search engins. Give different Title Tag for every web page you have, that will make your site optimized enough and also avoiding the supplemental result in Google search.

Title tag appear in your template as
<title>Your keywords</title>

Or you can change it from blog settings

Meta tags

Alt Tags
If you place some image inside your site, it would be better if you are using the Alt Tags as additional SEO techniques. If the image didn’t show, the Alt Tags would tell the visitor what it’s about. Why you should use it? Simple answer…. With placing additional keywords inside the Alt Tags, your site will contain rich-targeted-keywords. Don’t even try for spamming and keep it at the normal level when locating your keywords here. Spamming or keyword manipulation will be wipes away from Google SE index.

Rich Contents
If you keep your site get updated frequently, search engines will seek and crawl the content inside your site more often. Building more content such as articles, FAQ, tips, recipes, etc. will make your site keep updated. Create as much as possible and keep each web pages has density around 200 to 400 words. Link your contents to other related contents whether inside your site or outside of your site. Get the related link as much as possible, but avoid the link farm technique.

Keyword Density
Density of your keyword at your site is very vital and should be done with some research with trials and errors. To make the normal SEO techniques for your keyword, you should use the keyword(s) at least once in the title tag, heading tag, bolding text, and make sure that your keword density reaches 5% to 20% from overall of your contents. Don’t give too many keywords since it would be bad for SEO and will make your site categorized as keyword spamming and keyword manipulation. This will make your site wipes away from search engines index. Whenever possible, use your keyword(s) on the most top and the most bottom of your web page. When create any paragraph, make sure your keyword(s) located in the first sentence and in the last sentence inside the paragraph.

Link Popularity
Is the most powerful off-page SEO for your site. Most search engines will consider the existence of any website, if there’s one or more links pointing to the web site. This Link Popularity technique is very important when it comes to getting your site a good ranking. It can be done by having another site(s) link to your web site. Make sure your keywords included at the pointed links you get and you should keep the keywords short. There’s a method called link exchange for gaining Link Popularity technique. Beware, some websites won’t increase your rank, even it may reduce your rank in search engine’s sight. If you want to make a link exchange, you have to check the site before pointing your link to their site. If their site is at bad behavior, your site will get some penalty from SE and even get banned from the list.

On Page Cross Linking
With this SEO technique, all of your web pages will be indexed by search engines. Keep the depth of your page no more than three links away from your main page. Make your related topics linking each other across your site. With this technique, your site will have more behaviors and give your visitors additional features. Don’t forget to locate a link back to your main page for each page inside your site, because your visitors always need the links to get back to your main home page.

Page Size
Your visitor will be happy if the loading time of your page is very fast. It makes the speed of your webpage is very important things you have to notice, because your visitors don’t want waiting when they’re accessing your website. Also, search engines will visit your page more frequently rather than another site with hard loading time. I can say that because with the fast loading time will make search engine robots crawling your web page easier and faster. The normal size for each of your web page is less than 15k, the proper loading time is less than 2 sec, Try to tes here

7. After you're done with the associate/cobranded toolbar of alexa, get more people to download and install it on their browsers and let them rate your web site positively.

8. Get listed on other search engines and directories as well, specifically: http://msn.com/, http://aol.com/, http://exactseek.com/, http://lycos.com/, and http://av.com/

10. Encourage interactivity and community spirit on pages of your web site and install forum, classified ads, ffa, guestbook, topsites, etc. Remotely hosted will only do you a little, but be sure you have your own domain name and install these scripts that encourages interactivity and voting for your web site and place your alexa's graphics on it.

Meta tags

2007-09-22T15:20:00.001-07:00

Let's make it clear:

* Meta tags are not a magic solution.
* Meta tags are not a magic solution.
* Meta tags are not a magic solution.

Meta tags have never been a guaranteed way to gain a top ranking . Today, the most valuable feature they offer the web site owner is the ability to control to some degree how their web pages are described by some search engines.

What are meta tags? They are information inserted into the "head" area of your web pages. Other than the title tag (explained below), information in the head area of your web pages is not seen by those viewing your pages in browsers. Instead, meta information in this area is used to communicate information that a human visitor may not be concerned with. Meta tags, for example, can tell a browser what "character set" to use or whether a web page has self-rated it

How to use Meta tags :

In HTML the meta tag has no end tag.

In XHTML the meta tag must be properly closed.

Put this code after you edit it in the head area

Google Adsense Tips (general for beginners)

2007-09-22T14:50:00.000-07:00

1 Don't be afraid to ask questions

If you're wondering about something, don't be afraid to ask Google. So far, they've always responded to my questions within a working day. There are two email addresses to use, depending on the type of question:

Please feel free to email us at adsense-tech@google.com if you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please email adsense-support@google.com.

Their responses are always very polite, and they appreciate getting problem reports and suggestions.

2 Check your keyword Density

Although Google doesn't release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do tell us that it's the text content of the page that matters, not the meta tags. Before serving ads on a page, then, you might want to check its keyword density. A good, free tool for doing this is found here:

http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html

This lets you fine-tune the page before exposing it to the AdSense crawler.

Strictly follow the rules mentioned in Adsense policies. You will always earn more revenue from Adsense by playing it clean.

For short articles, CTR is best when ads are placed just above the content

5

For long articles, CTR improves if ads are placed somewhere in middle of the content - visitors read the long content and then they are looking for more resources.

Organize an Adsense Party for your friends and colleagues - Request them to navigate your website, watch their activity - it will provide vital clues about which regions on your website draw more user attention. Try putting ads near those areas.(really helpful)

Dont worry, Over time, as a Web site is spidered by Google, advertisements will generally increase in relevance. In general, older Web sites will rank better in search engines. The closer the advertisements relate to the Web page's content, the higher the "click-through" the publishers will see.

Integrated Ad Placement
Many webmasters have been successful at integrating advertisements into a Web site. The easiest way to integrate an advertisement into a Web site is to remove the advertisement border. This will allow the ads to better blend with the Web page. Google recommends contrasting the link colors with the Web site colors to increase click-throughs. It is also suggested that webmasters randomize the color of the advertisements, so that frequent users will not naturally "filter" the ads.

Highest performing Ad Sizes

According to Google the 336 x 280 rectangle, the 300 x250 rectangle and the 160 x 600 sky scraper result in the highest number of click-throughs. Depending on the website's design and layout, publishers may experience different results with different ad sizes, placements and color schemes. Expirement and track the results for each website to maximize the AdSense payout.

ًWhy Link Ads are the best in google adsense

2007-09-22T14:12:00.000-07:00

Link Ads

For every Adsense user there is a hint
It is from my experience...

If you, as many Google adsense users, complain about low CTR and low earnings compared to other sites, this might be helpful for you

First you should know than conventional adsense Ad Units have some disadvantages as:
1-Ad Units styles and formats are now boring and repeated for visitors
2-Most advertisers doesn't put attractive words in there ads, thats to apply google adwords policies and to attract targeted visitors they want
3-Also if Ads are related to your content, it is not necessary to relate to visitors interests

see..

Almost every site you visit, so what makes the visitor click yours?!

So why Link ads are the Best?
1-It is the only form of google ads that looks for the visitors interests, it depends on the visitor searches done with google.
2-The visitor may choose ads, which may be interesting for some visitors.
3-When some one clicks, he gets a list of sites , so he may click more than once
4-The link ads titles are more interesting
5-You will get a significant rise in earnings if you could blend text ads in a link list or list of your site content
