There are many things that must be done in order to obtain a better ranking with the top search engines like Google. However, one change can make a world of difference.

First, if you do not have WordPress self hosted already, I highly recommend it. I have done it all…builders, html, blogger, you name it. In the end a self hosted WordPress blog is the best all around. Period. (Click Here if you want some help with hosting or design)

A WordPress blog allows you to do so many things easily. One of them is to optimize your site for search engines.

One Change for Better SEO on WordPress

Simple…USE the SEO tools that are provided and available!

What are they and How?

1. Download the all in one SEO plugin. Follow the simple directions and you will be in a much better position.

2. Use categories to the fullest. When you create a new category, add proper keywords to description area. Just keywords separated by commas.

3. Repeat above with post tags.

4. Have good titles for posts. Make them at LEAST five words long.

5. Permalinks. Change them to custom or at least so they have actual names and not the default numbers.

Seriously, this one area of attention will make a world of difference. SEO is not the all in all of having a successful website or blog. However, it is one very important piece of the puzzle and this part of SEO is vital.

I have implemented them on all of my sites and am already seeing the fruits of my labor.

A website or blog is like a baby. It needs attention and care. If you give it those two things, you will be well on your way to success, and with success comes profit!

5 Ways To Improve Your Adsense Earnings

April 4, 2009 By admin

By: Dan Farrell

If webmasters want to monetize their websites, the great way to do it is through Adsense. There are lots of webmasters struggling hard to earn some money through their sites. But then some of the ‘geniuses ‘ of them are enjoying hundreds of dollars a day from Adsense ads on their websites. What makes these webmasters different from the other kind is that they are different and they think out of the box.

The ones who have been there and done it have quite some useful tips to help those who would want to venture into this field. Some of these tips have boosted earnings and is continuously doing so.

5 ways to improve your Google Adsense earnings

1. Concentrating on one format of Adsense ad. The one format that worked well for the majority is the Large Rectangle (336X280). This same format have the tendency to result in higher CTR, or the click-through rates. Why choose this format out of the many you can use? Basically because the ads will look like normal web links, and people, being used to clicking on them, click these types of links. They may or may not know they are clicking on your Adsense but as long as there are clicks, then it will all be for your advantage.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Choose a color that will go well with the background of your site. If your site has a white background, try to use white as the color of your ad border and background. The idea to patterning the colors is to make the Adsense look like it is part of the web pages. Again, This will result to more clicks from people visiting your site.

3. Remove the Adsense from the bottom pages of your site and put them at the top. Do not try to hide your Adsense. Put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between Adsense locations can make when you see your earnings.

4. Maintain links to relevant websites. If you think some sites are better off than the others, put your ads there and try to maintain and manage them. If there is already lots of Adsense put into that certain site, put yours on top of all of them. That way the visitor will see your ads first upon browsing into that site.

5. Try to automate the insertion of your Adsense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your Adsense code in a text file, save it as ‘adsense text ‘, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then using SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.

These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. It is important to know though that ads are displayed because it fits the interest of the people viewing them. Focusing on a specific topic should be your primary purpose as the targeted visitor will be more interested in clicking on the adsense ads.

Note also that there are many other Adsense sharing the same topic as you. It is best to think of making a good page that will be somewhat different and unique than the ones already done. Every click through that visitors make is money for you so make every click count by making your Adsense something that people will definitely click on.

Tips given by those who have boosted their earnings are just guidelines they want to share with others. If they have somehow worked wonders to some, maybe it can work wonders for you too.

Finally, remember that your adsense revenue will depend not only on the above tips but how much targeted traffic you send to the page. Traffic that isn’t targeted to the page’s theme will result in a low click through rate. Always keep the visitor in mind when you create a web page with or without adsense.

How Google Detects Invalid Clicks – A Must Know for Every Adsense Publisher

April 3, 2009 By admin

By: Casey Yew

A lot of Google AdSense publishers are banned from the Google AdSense program for invalid clicks. Some of these Google AdSense publishers manage to get their AdSense account reinstated. However, majority of them failed to do so. As a result, they are banned from the Google AdSense program.

Google does not reveal any specific details about invalid clicks in order to protect their proprietary clicks fraud detection technology. Hence, you would not know who is generating these clicks on your site or where these clicks come from.

If you are not getting any details of the invalid clicks from the termination letter, it may be a good idea to learn how Google defines these clicks and ways to detect them.

Google defines invalid clicks as:

• Manual clicks intended to increase publisher’s advertising
• Clicks by automated tools, robots, or other deceptive software.

So how does Google detect these clicks and how would they know which clicks are invalid?

Google AdSense team uses three powerful tools to detect invalid clicks:

Detection and Filtering Tool: Each click on an AdSense ad is monitored by Google system. Google will record the IP of each click, the time of the click, duplicate clicks and various click patterns. Google will use these factors and filter out potential invalid clicks.

Advanced Monitoring Tool: Google uses its proprietary software to monitor clicks fraud activity. They are constantly working to improve their technology.

The Google Team: In addition, Google has a team that uses specialized tools and techniques to examine individual cases of clicks fraud. When Google system detects potentially invalid clicks, a member of this team will examines the affected account.

Despite the effort that Google put in to improve their clicks fraud detection technology, there are few innocent publishers whose AdSense account has been suspended or banned temporarily for different reasons. For example, a sudden spike in your AdSense earnings would probably raise the red flag in their system and cause your AdSense account to be suspended. If your AdSense account is suspended for invalid clicks which you did not commit, Google provides you a way to make your appeal:

A Piece of Advice

When you are making your appeal via email, you should stay calm and plan the right strategy. You should be patient when dealing with Google and most importantly you should be polite when communicating with them. You may take initiative to provide them with all the documents they need.

Google Adsense – Money Does Grow on Trees

April 3, 2009 By admin

By: Dan Farrell

There are tales of fabulous riches to be made and millions made by those who are just working from home. It seems that Google Adsense have already dominated the internet marketing business and is now considered the easiest way to making money online.

The key to success with Adsense is the placing of ads on pages that are receiving high traffic for high demand keywords. The higher the cost-per-click to the advertiser, the more you will receive per click from your site. Obviously, it does not pay to target low cost-per-click keywords and place them on pages that do not receive hits.

With all the people getting online and clicking away everyday, it is no wonder why Google Adsense has become an instant hit.

For some who are just new to this market, it would be a blow to their pride knowing that their homepage is buried somewhere in the little ads promoting other people’s services. But then, when they get the idea that they are actually earning more money that way, all doubts and skepticism is laid to rest.

There are two major, and clever, factors that some successful webmaster and publishers are learning to blend together in order to make money easier using Adsense.

1. Targeting high traffic pages on your website. If you check on your logs, you will discover that many of your visitors are taking advantage of the free affiliate marketing resources and ebooks that you are offering on your site. In simple words, your ads are working effectively and are generating more clicks. It also means more money for you.

2. Placing Adsense links on pages that are producing little, or better yet, no profit. By placing Adsense on a free resources page, you will reduce the amount of potential customers being lost to other sites. Tricky, but effective nonetheless.

When learned to work effectively, these two factors are actually a good source of producing a minimal amount of revenue from a high traffic page. Many people are using this strategy to pick up some extra and cash with Adsense. This is also especially rewarding to informational sites that focus their efforts on delivering powerful affiliate link free content to their visitors. Now they can gain a monetary return on their services.

With the many techniques that people are now learning on how to make the easiest money by their Adsense, it is not surprising that Google is trying everything to update and polish their Adsense in order to maintain their good image.

The possibility of adding is 2nd tier in Adsense is not impossible. With all the people spending more time in their Adsense now and still more getting into this line of marketing, there is no doubt about the many new improvements yet to be made. Imagine the smiles on the faces of the webmasters and publishers all around the world if ever they sign up for sub-affiliates and double or even triple the amount that they are already earning.

The one particularly handy money-making feature that is available with Adsense now is the ability to filter out up to 200 url’s. These gives webmasters the option to block out low value offers from their pages as well as competitors to their websites. Talk about taking only those that are advantageous and discarding the ones that seem ‘useless ‘.

There is also talk about Google changing or even discontinuing Adsense but it is doubtful. Webmasters generally create higher quality content pages with good themes targeted to the visitor’s interest so their adsense revenue is maximized. Overall, adsense has increased the quality of web page content.

For now, however, Google Adsense is here to stay. As long as there are people wanting to earn some easy cash online just using their talents, the future ahead is looking good. Besides with all the strict guidelines that Google is enforcing over Adsense, it will take awhile for the Adsense privileges to be spammed and even terminated.

Good Sense Google Adsense

April 3, 2009 By admin

By: Lara Velez

I have enjoyed a steady increase in my Google Adsense payout during the past year. Let me share with you what I have learned.

Before beginning, I should mention that for Google Adsense Ads, text is BEST! Images can be distracting in a negative way to your visitors. Now, let’s begin…

PLACEMENT: The best clicks for me have always been from the top letter board. I highly recommend placing letter board Google ads at the top of every page of your site. Or at the very least a 468×60 banner. I have also found that my bottom letter board does well. This too should be placed on every page.

Another good spot is within the text of your content. It should flow with the text. The ads should not stand out.

APPEARANCE: It is crucial that your Google ads BLEND in with your site. The ad should have the same background color that your site does, including the borders. There should be no lines. It should look like you typed the text in. Finally, you should set the text color to be the same as your content text.

Remember, for optimum performance, Google ads should always blend and never stand out.

CHANNELS: These are an invaluable feature of the Google Adsense program. They really help you pin point what works best with your site. What works for me may not for you. You may find that a sidebar banner receives more clicks.

I suggest that you experiment with the channels and try out different placements and sizes. Give each of them a couple weeks. Keep a log and compare. Then you will know what your visitors tend to click on and can optimize.

This is something that you will want to do periodically to ensure continued success.

In closing, the best advice I can give you is to take the time to really see what works best and where for your site. And, even different pages within your site. If you take the time, you too will begin seeing a steady increase in your Google checks.
