Making Money with AdSense - Two Simple Steps

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Making money with AdSense is a very simple procedure. What it involves is you having a website, registering with Google’s AdSense program, getting the AdSense code from Google and pasting it into your website. Google lets you choose special features such as color and size so that the AdSense ad fits right in with your website look.

The first stumbling block might me knowing enough about web design to include the AdSense ad but usually a person knows enough about web design and have done their own website or they have hired someone to do it for them. If you know enough to build your own website, then AdSense will not be a challenge. If you don’t know enough you have hired someone to build a web site then you just give the code to the person who build it for you and tell him or her where you want it placed.

When visitors visit your website they see the Google Ads the AdSense code displays. These ads relate to the topic of your web page. It’s clever but the code “reads” your page, sees what the main topic is and pulls in ads related to that topic. In other words, the ads sense the topic of the page. Hence the name, AdSense. You get paid when someone clicks on one of your AdSense ads.

Here is something you need to know. You cannot click on your own ads. Oh, if you click on one or two it might not hurt, but if you click on your own AdSense ads, it looks like you are trying to cheat the system and you can easily be banned from AdSense. Google is very careful about protecting its advertisers and they don’t want people wasting advertisers’ money with fake clicks.

This sounds very easy. Well, there is one small problem and that is - to get clicks on your AdSense ads, you need traffic to your website. The more page impressions you have, the more chance you have of people clicking on your ads. AdSense looks at what it calls Click Through Rate (CTR). CTR is the number of clicks an ad gets divided by the total number of ad unit impressions the ad got. If you have 10 ad impressions, that means the ad showed up 10 times to viewers which means that these 10 people visited your site. If one person clicked on an AdSense ad, then your CTR is 1/10 or 10%. Also you get paid for one click - which could mean four cents or four dollars depending on the cost of the ad to the advertiser.

The pressure is on you to carry out two simple steps - step one is to pull people to your website and step two is to have content on your website that will make people want to stay and look around. If they do not look around, they will not see your AdSense ads and if they do not see them, they will not click on them and you will make no money from AdSense.

While this is a basic introduction to AdSense, the information here really is all you need to succeed with AdSense. Build your site, add Google Ads, draw traffic, and cash your Google AdSense check.

Improve Search Engine Ranking With SEO?

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Does my website need search engine optimization to improve search engine ranking?

Website owners often ask this question to webmasters and SEO companies around the world. And inevitably the answer from SEO consultants is yes.

But why do people ask such a question? They do not ask why should I decorate my shop! or why should I keep my products in proper places and under proper tags so that the buyers can get them easily! or other similar questions. They also work hard to make the passage to their shop smooth and easy.

Still most of them do not understand the necessity to make the passage to their website easy for the targeted audiences online.

The main reason may be lack of knowledge about Search Engine Optimization and its effect. I have tried here to give you an overview on why they need SEO.

The gateway to your site:

Research shows most of the surfers use a search engine to find out the desired website unless they know the URL and directly reach there. Search engines have their own algorithms to decide the ascending order of websites in their result page.

Now, there are innumerable websites competing to improve search engine rankings in any subject or for any keyword.

Research also shows that normal visitors do not visit more then three pages (list of 30) before they walk out (major search engines offer them too good results to look further). Thus if you can reach and sustain better position in the result page, you will definitely get more visitors.

What is Search Engine Optimization?

In general, Search Engine Optimization or SEO is an ever changing technique that helps your site to improve search engine rank for different keywords. However, job of a good Search Engine Optimization company does not end here. Good SEO companies do not concentrate on search engines alone. They also put as much emphasis on user experience. And since major search engines like Google has started tracking user behavior to evaluate a website, SEO companies cannot ignore this.

What a Search Engine Optimization company can do for you?

SEO companies will design and develop your site depending on your requirements. They will optimize your page for search engines and better user experience. They will set up new strategies to promote your site and make it popular among target group. And last but not the least; they will maintain your website’s performance. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Good SEO consultants and SEO companies work in the core level to establish your website as a key player in your market segment.

Concentrate on your business :

Search engines twig their algorithm every now and then and depending on the changes you will often see major alterations in result pages. If a website goes down even a single slot in result page, may create huge difference in your traffic flow and thus business revenue. You need to keep your self updated with the latest changes (often you would need to guess from experience and knowledge) and you must implement them in your site to hold that position.

Leave your worries to a search engine optimization company and concentrate on your core business.

Little Guy Network - Why Pay More? A Comparison Between Little Guy Network & High Ticket Programs

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Little guy network - I’m sure that you’ve seen or at least heard about the newest addition to the online community called the little guy network. This business is very attractive because its only 200 dollars to join little guy network. Yet they have the same exact products as the other high ticket programs that charge 1000 dollars and up to join.

Everyone knows that 95% of the people in a home business are failing miserably. That’s why I was asked by my team to do draw up a comparison chart between little guy network and some of the other high ticket programs. We are trying to determine if little guy could be a solution to that horrid 95% failure rate.

Here are the basics to what I have come up with:

Little guy network is 200 dollars to join. Members get 50,000 dollars worth of digital software plus 12 unlimited vacation vouchers. They get free capture pages and autoresponders with pre-written emails, a free managed marketing campaign, a free personal sales rep, and free marketing tips and strategies. They also pay a $19.95 monthly admin fee.

High ticket programs cost upwards of 1000 dollars to join. Members get 50,000 dollars worth of digital software. They pay a 30-40 dollar monthly fee for capture pages and autoresponders with pre-written emails, 20-200 dollars a month for managed marketing campaigns, and they have to pay for a personal sales rep plus give up a portion of all sales made. They do however get free marketing tips. They also pay 29.95-$59.95 monthly admin fees.

The little guy network seems to be a good starting point for people who can’t afford thousands to join a program but still want a chance to earn thousands. People that are burnt out and not making any sales from the high ticket programs can use a smaller ticket program such as little guy network to capitalize on all of the leads they have that can’t afford to join them in their high ticket programs.

So in conclusion, my comparison between little guy network and those other high ticket programs can really be summed up in just three words, Why Pay More?

The Google News RSS Feed / Google Reader Mashup

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

My current employer is an executive search firm recruiting candidates for the real estate development and construction industries. I lead their internet marketing efforts; I also am in charge of market research. If I can deliver competitive industry intelligence to the recruiters in our office, they can utilize it to match executive job candidates with employers who need them but can´t find them on their own.

The Challenge

There are a very large number of companies worthy of being tracked by my company. ENR (Engineering News & Record) creates different authoritative topic-specific lists containing names of the biggest commercial construction firms. Builder Online lists the largest residential homebuilding firms. Between these two sources, I´ve identified about 1,700 companies where it would be valuable to track each & every news story about them. Fortunately, on any given day, only a small percentage of these companies will make noteworthy news?however, in order to make sure I catch all the valuable information, I need to monitor all of them.

Most logically, I would have to implement some sort of RSS solution in order to track 1,700 companies. Manual entry of 1,700 feeds into a feedreader isn´t an option; I don´t have any programming skills; and I don´t have a budget to find someone to program a solution.

So what did I do?

The Solution: Part 1

When I examined a typical Google News RSS URL, I can determine that the only variable information within each lengthy URL is the term being searched:

http://news.google.com/news?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-37,GGLJ:en&oe=UTF-8&tab=wn&q=builder+magazine&output=rss

From this information, I can quickly and simply reproduce a Google News RSS URL for each item in my list quickly and easily in Excel.

I then do the following (which is more clearly illustrated in the attached spreadsheet that I strongly encourage you to download by clicking this link):

1) Once I open Excel, I place my entire list of relevant companies into Column B.

2) In Column A, I place the first portion of the Google RSS URL (from http:// up to the variable portion).

3) In Column C, I place the final portion of the URL (&output=rss).

4) I also know from experience that in order to make my feed as relevant as possible, I want to use exact match wherever I can. ??%22? is the symbol used for ??quote?. I append ??%22? as the last characters in Column A and the first characters in Column C.

5) I make sure that the code in Columns A & C is copied onto every row containing a relevant company in Column B.

I also need to perform the following global steps in Column B:

1) Replace ??space? and ??&? with ??+?
2) Replace ??++? with ??+?
3) Delete all instances of ??apostrophe?.

Here comes the fun part:

1) I widen the columns so that there is plenty of white space to the right of the text in each column.
2) I save the document as a Formatted Text Space Delimited (.prn) document.
3) I reopen the document, choose ??Delimited?, click ??Next?, and then click ??Finish?.
4) I then globally replace ??space? with nothing, generating the list of long RSS URL´s.

The Solution: Part 2
(?catches breath?)

In each of the feed readers I´ve used, I´ve noticed that one can bulk import feeds into them if they are in OPML, something I admit to not understanding too well. I realized that if I could convert my URL´s into OPML, I can then get my entire list of company news RSS feeds into a feedreader. I found Feedshow Goodies (http://www.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php) through Google, dropped my URL´s into the form located on this page, and clicked ??Create OPML? (note that it will process up to about 200 URL´s at once). I then saved each OPML file to my hard drive.

I then made the mistake of thinking that my trusty Feedreader 3.07 would cleanly accept 1,700 new feeds. The first OPML import of 200 feeds ate up all my internet bandwidth and slowed my computer to a crawl. Google Reader was the only other feedreader that I´ve used, so I signed into it and uploaded 9 large OPML files.

It worked. Google Reader allowed me to seamlessly (if somewhat slowly) import 1,700 feeds and read them all together, allowing me to get a real time news update of all the commercial & residential construction companies that I desired to track.

My Public Feed (http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/14537180468496839026/label/main-folder) (Note I configured it somewhat differently than in the sample above).

Suggestions

1) Even though the Google Reader is doing all the ??heavy lifting?, having it open tracking 1,700 feeds will hog your memory, especially in IE. I found that opening Google Reader in Firefox or Opera instead cut significantly the amount of memory used.

2) The one drawback to this process is that the ??title? of each feed is the long ugly Google RSS URL instead of something more descriptive.

3) If you have a lot of stories in your Google Reader, go to Preferences and check ??In Expanded View, Mark Items as Read as You Scroll Past Them?. This feature is a tremendous help in wading through voluminous amounts of data.

4) I found that creating Google News feeds for all news created ??in the past week? gave me the best results. A Google News feed for all company news for each company led to too much information and news feed covering just the past day´s news seemed to miss stories. In this example, I used News RSS URL´s for all company news because they are the most user-friendly. To use this mashup with ??time-restricted? Google News, you will need to click on ??Advanced News Search?, do a sample search with a defined time period, generate the News RSS URL and copy the first portion of it into Column A of your spreadsheet before following the proscribed process.

I now can track news from all 1,700 companies in my Google Reader. Kudos to those good folks at the ´Plex.

The Top Four Ways To Buy Visitors For Your Website

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

I’d be surprised if you got any significant search engine results from Google within the first seven or eight months although you may attract some visitors from Yahoo and MSN search. The bottom line is: if you’re looking to kick-start the popularity of your website then you should really consider buying visitors initially.

1) Pay per click

Probably the most popular way of bringing in visitors en masse is paying to appear in search engine results if certain phrases have been searched for. Google Adwords is by far the market leader in this format of advertising. All you have to do is sign up, make a small deposit to activate your account, choose your keywords, select how much you’re willing to pay per click (this denotes how high you’ll appear in the paid advertising results for your keywords) and select a maximum daily budget. Easy! Just pay attention to your budget and make sure that you can make a long-term profit.

Other increasingly popular pay-per-click advertising is offered by MSN AdCenter and Yahoo Search Marketing, which both operate in an extremely similar manner to Google Adwords. There are other products available such as Clicksor or Oxado, where the amount that you have to pay per click may be less. However, on the down side, the amount of visitors that such smaller networks can refer to you will probably be less. It’s probably best to start with Google Adwords, and experiment with others should you wish to do so.

2) Pay per lead

If you’re going to be offering a product or service then it’s worthwhile considering pay-per-lead. This means that you pay when you receive specific information from prospective customers such as a name, email address, telephone number and location. The most popular integrator of this service in America is Commission Junction (CJ.com), while Trade Doubler is particularly popular in Europe.

3) Pay per transaction

Paying a percentage of a transaction fee to whoever refers you the customer is appealing because it’s virtually impossible to make a loss. However, this may not be too appealing for whoever is advertising your website, as they don’t know the likelihood of a sale being generated and they don’t know how often a sale will be made. This method of promoting your product or service should be considered as part of a more extensive marketing strategy. Again, two of the most popular players in this field are CJ.com and TradeDoubler.com.

4) Buy text links

Although frowned upon by the major search engines, a purchased link is actually often indistinguishable from organically grown links. As long as the link points directly to the intended web page and not to a third party provider, this should grant you a higher ranking in a search engine. You should also read other articles on linking strategy before proceeding with participating in a link purchasing campaign. Once you have decided that this is for you, trial a campaign with Text-Link-Ads.com.

Google SEO Forum Advice

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Google can bring you an avalanche of traffic when you get into their top ten positions for popular keywords. You want your site on these high positions, but you don’t know how they do it.

Somehow you end up lurking in the SEO forums where the experts reveal how to rank high in Google. You apply their advice to your own site and hope it works.

Many weeks later, you type in your keyword, but can’t find your site listed anywhere on Google.

Why?

Was it you or was it the advice you read on the SEO forums?

Well, don’t blame yourself for trying? Next time you seek advice on the SEO forums you should be critical of what you hear.

Ask them how they arrived at their conclusions. Can they show proof that it works? Do they have the hard data to backup their claims?

Members of SEO forums just pass along what they have heard from someone else. They can’t provide proof because they don’t have top positions themselves.

Naturally, no one smart will reveal the true secrets to ranking high in Google. They would be crazy to make life harder for themselves.

People who do achieve high rankings in Google don’t hang out in the SEO forums? They don’t need to.

So where can you get true advice that does help you rank high in Google?

First, make sure the person supplying the advice can provide proof that it works.

Second, make sure that person has the hard data that you can look over to verify.

Third, don’t expect members on SEO forums to know the answers.

Ultimately, you’ll realize SEO forums can be a waste of time if you are seeking true advice. There are true experts out there, but they probably aren’t lurking in the forums waiting to post answers for the SEO newbie.

60 Day Sandbox for Google & AskJeeves; MSN Indexes Quickest, Yahoo Next

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Search engine listing delays have come to be called the Google Sandboxeffect are actually true in practice at each of four top tiersearch engines in one form or another. MSN, it seems has theshortest indexing delay at 30 days. This article is thesecond in a series following the spiders through a brand newweb site beginning on May 11, 2005 when the site was firstmade live on that day under a newly purchased domain name.

First Case Study Article

Previously we looked at the first 35 days and detailed thecrawling behavior of Googlebot, Teoma, MSNbot and Slurp asthey traversed the pages of this new site. We discovered theeach robot spider displays distinctly different behavior incrawling frequency and similarly differing indexing patterns.

For reference, there are about 15 to 20 new pages added tothe site daily, which are each linked from the home page fora day. Site structure is non-traditional with no categoriesand a linking structure tied to author pages listing theirarticles as well as a “related articles” index varied bylinking to relevant pages containing similar content.

So let’s review where we are with each spider crawling andlook at pages crawled and compare pages indexed by engine.

The AskJeeves spider, Teoma has crawled most of the pages onthe site, yet indexes no pages 60 days later at this writing.This is clearly a site aging delay that’s modeled on Google’sSandbox behavior. Although the Teoma spider from Ask.com hascrawled more pages on this site than any other engine over a60 day period and appears to be tired of crawling as they’venot returned since July 13 - their first break in 60 days.

In the first two days, Googlebot gobbled up 250 pages and didn’t return until 60 days later, but has not indexed evena single page in 60 days since they made that initial crawl.But Googlebot is showing a renewed interest in crawling the site since this crawling case study article was published on several high traffic sites. Now Googlebot is looking at afew pages each day. So far no more than about 20 pages at a decidedly lackluster pace, a true “Crawl” that will keep it occupied for years if continued that slowly.

MSNbot crawled timidly for the first 45 days, looking over30 to 50 pages daily, but not until they found a robots.txtfile, which we’d neglected to post to the site for a week andthen bobbled the ball as we changed site structure, thenfailed to implement robots.txt in new subdomains until day 25 - and THEN MSNbot didn’t return until day 30. If littleelse were discovered about initial crawls and indexing, wehave seen that MSNbot relies heavily on that robots.txt fileand proper implementation of that file will speed crawling.

MSNbot is now crawling with enthusiasm at anywhere between200 to 800 pages daily. As a matter of fact, we had to usea “crawl-delay” command in the robots.txt file after MSNbotbegan hitting 6 pages per second last week. The MSN index nowshows 4905 pages 60 days into this experiment. Cached pages change weekly. MSNbot has apparently found that it likes howwe changed the page structure to include a new feature whichlinks to questions from several other article pages.

Slurp gets strangely inactive then alternately hyperactive for periods of time. The Yahoo crawler will look at 40 pagesone day and then 4000 the next, then simply look at the homepage for a few days and then jump back in for 3000 pages thenext day and back to only reviewing robots.txt for two days.Consistency is not a curse suffered by Slurp. Yahoo now shows6 pages in their index, one an errors page and another is a”index/of” page as we have not posted a home page to severalsubdomains. But Slurp has crawled easily 15,000 pages to date.

Lessons learned in the first 60 days on a new site follow:

1) Google crawls 250 pages on first discovery of links to site.Then they don’t return until they find more links and crawlslowly. Google has failed to index new domain for 60 days.

2) Yahoo looks for errors pages and once they find bad linkswill crawl them ceaselessly until you tell them to stop it.Then won’t crawl at all for weeks until crawling heavilyone day and lightly the next in random fashion.

3) MSNbot requires robots.txt files and once they decide theylike your site, may crawl too fast, requiring “crawl-delay”instructions in that robots.txt file. Implement immediately.

4) Bad bots can strain resources and hit too many pages tooquickly until you tell them to stay out. We banned 3 botsoutright after they slammed our servers for a day or two.Noted “aipbot” crawled first then “BecomeBot” came alongand then “Pbot” from Picsearch.com crawled heavily lookingfor image files we don’t have. Bad bots, stay out. Best toimplement robots.txt exclusions for all but top engines iftheir crawlers strain your server resources. We consideredexcluding the Chinese search engine named Baidu.com whenthey began crawling heavily early on. We don’t expect muchtraffic from China, but why exclude one billion people?Especially since Google is rumored to be considering apossible purchase of Baidu.com as entry to Chinese market.

The bottom line is that we’ve discovered all engines seem todelay indexing of new domain names for at least thirty days.Google so far has delayed indexing THIS new domain for 60days since first crawling it. AskJeeves has crawled thousandsof pages, while indexing none of them. MSN indexes faster thanall engines but requires robots.txt file. Yahoo’s Slurp crawlson again off again for 60 days, but indexes only six of total15,000 or more pages crawled to date.

We seem to have settled that there is a clear indexing delay,but whether this site specifically is “Sandboxed” and whetherdelays apply universally is less clear. Many webmasters claimthat they have been indexed fully within 30 days of first posting a new domain. We’d love to see others track spidersthrough new sites following launch to document their resultspublicly so that indexing and crawling behavior are proven.

Magnetic Sponsoring is an online system that teaches them how to generate qualified leads through the Internet and earn money at the same time while they are building their database.

So how does Magnetic Sponsoring work?

Firstly, a network marketing rep who subscribes to the system will receive a physical book that teaches them how to develop the winning posture of a leader or a person that is proficient in that field. This causes people to attract prospects to their doorstep.

Secondly, a person who utilizes the Magnetic Sponsoring system is very clear about what true marketing is all about. The reason why this is important is because there are many network marketing reps that are in network marketing but they don’t know a thing about marketing at all!

Those who are interested in the Magnetic Sponsoring program will be able to subscribe to their training system and it will qualify them to see if they are suitable to become a network marketing rep and hence it saves you time from hunting down all the people who are not interested in your opportunity to begin with.

Increase Your Search Engine Rankings and Page Rank

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Why is it that most webmasters ignore the most important aspects of SEO? All you hear people talk about is keywords and keywords phrases. Now keywords are very important and should be a part of your search engine optimization. But do not forget about everything else that goes into proper SEO. If you want to increase your search engine rankings and page rank you also need to follow these 5 steps.

1. Link popularity

2. Page Rank

3. Out-going links

4. Anchor text

5. Search engine penalization…

Often people ignore all of those CRITICAL elements to SEO mainly because they don’t understand them. And for good reason, SEO can get incredibly complicated.

For example, did you know you get hurt by linking to websites that have been penalized by search engines? Honestly, SEO is no joke - it’s hard stuff, so if you were to try to do this on your own - I’m not so sure you could do it. Heck, I know I couldn’t. Trying to do everything by hand will drive you crazy and you leave the door wide open for mistakes to be made. One little mistake can drop your search engine rankings or worse get you banned.

When tackling a task as important as search engine optimization, you should invest some money in software that will help you do all the needed steps to proper SEO. The right software can increase your search engine rankings, increase your sales and save you a tremendous amount of time. Remember this is an investment into your business.

A few years ago you would have had to buy a number of different software packages to do all the required tasks of proper SEO. Not anymore. There is a piece of software called SEO Elite that has combined all these tasks in one complete software package. When you are implementing your SEO strategies, use only white hat techniques. By using these techniques you will never get banned by the search engines for using black hat or dirty techniques to fool the search engines. Search engines today have very sophisticated systems of tracking web sites. If you are doing something shady, they will find you. Stick to the white hat techniques.

When you are getting links for your site, one way links are much better than reciprocal links. A good way to get one way links is to submit your site to directories and by using social networking sites like digg. Search engine optimization is a lot of hard work. Getting the right software to help you is a big deal. The software can get much needed information quickly and speed up the process to increase your rankings and page rank.

How to Improve Link Popularity Using Articles

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

There are probably a thousand and one ways to improve link popularity for your website so that it can rank well in the search engines. Many come and go but article marketing and content publishing still remains effective even till today. The search engines exist for content and this fact is not about to change. Articles and content work by attracting targeted traffic, get more links to your website and help your site rank well in the search engines.

Quite simply, your article has to be relevant to the theme of your website. It has to contain the right keywords, both in the article title as well as the content for the purpose of keyword targeting and SEO. While doing so, do pay attention to creating content that provides useful information to your potential readers.

Creating a good article can improve your link popularity when your visitors bookmark your site at the social bookmarking sites. They may even mention your website to their friends or for that matter share with their subscribers. It is possible that they even publish your article on their websites and credit you with a backlink to your website.

From what we can see, writing good articles is the way to go. Imaging having more articles published and indexed in the major search engines. This can bring you a lot of traffic. In each article that is submitted, be sure to set up the author resource box correctly. Make sure the link to your website is working properly. It helps also to include a statement giving your readers the right to reprint or publish your article on their sites provided nothing is changed. Each publisher who decides to post your article on their high PR site means one more powerful link to your website.

Where do you submit the articles to? Article directories are the places where you want to post them to improve link popularity. These are free to submit and just one article can make a whole lot of difference to your web traffic. Due to time constraint, you may not be able to optimize the whole traffic building process by submitting to hundreds of article directories.

If time is a problem to you, target only the best ones that are highly favored by the search engines like EzineArticles, GoArticles and ArticleBase. There are others which are worth considering also. Once again, do not forget to place your website link at the author resource box. Otherwise, your article posting becomes worthless and will not help to improve link popularity at all.

Articles that are well written can be used for other purposes as well to improve link popularity. They can be used as content for newsletters and ebooks. On the overall, writing an article for submission remains a great way to drive more traffic to your site.

Find out from my income blog on which article submission software marketers are using to improve the link popularity of their sites to pull in more traffic and rake in more sales.
