content that will last and be read 2007-08-30 03:00:00 I know I have told you what content you should make before, but I forgot something to tell you.-Most professional blogger have multiple blog to write. Of course he should write it (Don’t copy paste another’s writing! I’ll tell you why). But imagine that you should write 100 posts (20 blogs, 5 each) every week. Let’s cut Saturday and Sunday. That means you have just 5 days. And every day you should write 20 posts.I myself need 15 minutes to 1 hour to create just 1 post. It will be very time consuming. +If you want people to keep reading your blog, you should do this all over the time. You’ll never be able to get passive income.The solution: Write post that will last!Write post that people want to read all the time. You create 5 to 10 blog. Write every day! Until the blog has 30 posts, create a new blog. It will be fine if you don’t write the old blog, because you created posts that will last. But once in a time (once or twice a week), you could update it, so that your regula
First Step to Find Traffic 2007-08-22 19:45:00 Now I assume you already have at least a website, you have signed up for AdSense, the design is fine, and you already have put some ads on your website.So, what’s next? After you build a “store”, you should find the “customers”. In this case, it means you should make people to visit your website.There are some ways to gain traffic to your site, some of them which I know are:-The most conventional way is by putting link to your site on another sites. You can also do link exchange with your friends.-The most important thing is registering your website to search engine. Go to Google Webmaster. Register your site, don’t forget to authenticate and put the sitemap.-If you got feed for your site, register your site on FeedBurner and complete the optimization steps.-Register your site to some directories and top sites. And join the community.Later I’ll give you the details. Read more:First
Content to Create 2007-08-20 20:58:00 I think this is important. What content should we make? Most of us will start a blog to write. (But if you don't like to write, writing a blog could be a problem for you. In that case you might prefer to build a non-blog website (tools, community, forum, etc))But sometimes we don’t know what to write in a blog. The answer is: Anything. But you can always choose what kind of site you want to build. Is it a general niche website, or a targeted niche website? And you can always build another one after the other. So don’t sweat over this. If you have any idea, just write on your notepad, and create it after you go home.But if I can suggest, I will suggest you to write: -Anything you like and anything you have mastered. Why? Because what ever you do, it wouldn’t be easy. You should like it. Otherwise you will get bored or give up before you succeed. Every success is certain, just if you don’t give up before. -If it possible, create HPK contents. HPK stands for High Paying Keyword. Read more:Content
The Power of Investing 2007-08-19 23:44:00 Well, I think it’s out of topic, but still, I want to write it.I want to analyze which type of income is AdSense in cash flow quadrant (wrote by Robert T. Kiyosaki) (Although it has been critized by many people, I still think I'll write it, without telling you to stop working)But, before that, I’ll tell you about the difference between rich and poor people.Kiyosaki believes that the thing that makes difference between rich people and poor people is investment. Poor people never bother to invest their money. Rich people used to invest, so that after one point, their passive income will surpass the expenses.What does investing mean? Investing
means “buy” assets. An asset is everything that could make you money. For example, you buy a house, and then you lease the house, so that the house earns you money.Contrary to asset, liability is everything that takes money from you. For example, you buy a television. Because of the television, you have to pay electricity bill. If you sell
Click Exchange, Why We Shouldn't Do That 2007-08-15 05:33:00 Click Exchange
. I myself hate those words.But first, before we discuss it, I’ll tell you what click exchange is.Google tell us not to click our own ads. And Google doesn’t allow us to tell people to click our ads.But if we tell someone we know to click our ads, Google wouldn’t know that.Asking people to click your ads, then you click their ads. That is click exchange.Google wouldn’t know that, well, it might be true. It works actually, but I still wouldn’t do that. And I hate people who do that. Well, not hate actually, I just can’t think like they think.I believe you people don’t understand why I don’t do click exchange, although my earning doesn’t even reach 1 dollar.Ok, why we shouldn’t do click exchange: -How much will you get from click exchange? Is it 10 dollar? Is it 20 dollar? Well I don’t know about you guys, but I have no interest in 2 digits earning. I don’t know about you, but I’m aiming for 4 and 5 digits earning. 2 digits earning is meaningless f Read more:Click
Ads Positioning 2007-08-10 20:30:00 I assume that you already have at least one website (at least a blog). I also assume that you already signed up and put ads on your website.But where should you place the ads?The answer is where the position is, that have the highest CTR (Click-through Rate. It means how many times people click it divide by page impression.). It’s because the performance on each place is different.But where?See this image.This is the “heat map”. The colors fade from dark orange (strongest performance) to light yellow (weakest performance). That means you should place the ads on the dark orange, and put fewer ads on the light yellow.But remember, this may not suitable on your website, since every websites are unique. But generally, it works.Placing the ads like that heat map is a good idea. But it would be even wonderful if you look for the placing that suitable for your site. How? By testing it!Testing:-Watch the earning on every channel. Compare them!-Pretend to be your website’s visitor. Anal Read more:Positioning
Section Targeting Feature 2007-08-09 18:13:00 Now I’ll tell you how I solved my problem.How? By using section targeting feature, we can tell the crawler which contents are important, which contents are to ignore.How we could use section targeting feature?By implementing this HTML tag on your page with this format (please change all the "]" and the "[" into ">" and "" and " Read more:Section

Why Your Ads Aren't Relevant 2007-08-08 21:35:00 Now I’ll fulfill my promise. I’ll tell you why your ads aren’t relevant.Is it a problem? It’s just ads after all. Why bother?Big mistake! When I first do the AdSense, my problem is: I updated my blog, my traffic is fine, but no one clicks my ads (at that time all of my ads have no image). Why? Then I realized, it would be even strange if my visitors click the ads. Because the ads are about crimes, cases, investigations, etc. Why? On that time I was talking about Death Note. There are so many words that related to crimes, cases, investigation, detective, etc. As I told you before, AdSense Crawler will try to find the relation between those words. There is no way anime fans would click those FBI and CIA ads^^But that’s not the only reason why your ads aren’t relevant. There are some reason why your ads aren’t relevant:-The crawler hasn’t crawled your site. It needs around 2 days before you can see the result. So be patient.-The crawler cannot reach your website. But don Read more:Relevant
How Crawler Works 2007-08-02 13:41:00 Just like I promised, I will tell you why your ads aren’t relevant. But before that I will now tell you how the crawler knows the content of a page. A crawler is a machine that will read and indicate the content of the pages. Actually it just reads every word. And it will find the relation between each word to know what the content is.Basic example:These are 3 pages with the word “Java” with different content.Page #1 has the words: “Java”, “C++”, “Programming”, and “Computer”.Page #2 has the words: “Java”, “Beans”, “Coffee”, and “Cup”.Page #3 has the words: “Java”, “Island”, and “Indonesia”Crawler will consider the 1st page is talking about programming language. So maybe there will be ads like “Java Tutorials”, “C++ Programming”, etc.The 2nd page will be considered talking about coffee drink. So maybe there will be ads like “Quality Beans”, “Cheap Coffee”, etc.The 3rd page will be considered talking about my homeland^^ ( Read more:Works
Pay per Click Estimate 2007-08-01 18:50:00 How much money will you get if someone clicks your ads?The answer is depends on the keywords of the ads.Actually this is not the publisher’s concern. But sometimes we wonder how much money we will get per click. Some even tested it by themselves.. hahahahaha…Actually we wouldn’t know until it’s clicked. Even if it’s clicked, we don’t know which ad that is, since the ad always changes, and different on every country. Even the keywords will always change, if we change the content. (If I’m wrong, please tell me. It would be very helpful)But if you want know how much is the estimate amount of the money we will get, we can use Google AdWords.Eh?! AdWords? That is for advertising, right? I’m not going to advertise anything! Don’t worry.. We will just test it, without signing up.-First go to this Google AdWords link: http://adwords.google.com/-Then click “Get Keyword Ideas”-On tab “Keyword variation”, enter the keyword you want to check.-Type the random characters on Read more:Click

Content is King 2007-08-01 12:45:00 I’ve said before that my biggest mistake is not updating my blog everyday.Why is it important to update our blog/website?If we don’t have any content, what would they read? What will make them go to our site?It’s simple, right?Please see this pictureThis is a table from http://www.hittail.com/ , it could trace all keywords on search engine that displays your site as the result. (on this table it display http://orenoanime.blogspot.com/ as result)You can see that most of them aren’t popular keywords, at least they are not “ore no anime”, “anime review” or “anime news”. Some even misspelled.After see this table, I realized how content be so important (because I don’t write much before).Conclusion #1: The more content on your site, the more keywords will display your site. =more traffic=more page rank= even more trafficActually, to make traffic, writing is not the only way. You can make a download page, or some facility (forum, video streaming, community page, etc).Bu Read more:Content
Why I Do AdSense 2007-07-28 21:55:00 Phew. Those last 3 posts were exhausting. I’m now in mood for writing something motivating. Why am I so motivated with AdSense?You know that I just got 0.57 dollar for the first month. It’s definitely horrible. But now I’m still adsensing my blog. Why? And why did I choose to adsense?It started when I read some articles about adsense on an Indonesian site, Ilmu Komputer.com (http://www.ilmukomputer.com) (English: Computer Knowledge). At that time I already knew about adsense, but I’m not really interested. But the articles change my mind!I’m now in Germany. I’m provided with internet, 24/7 (it’s not like in my country, which internet is so limited (limited bandwidth, limited speed, and limited quota) and very expensive). It would be somewhat stupid if I don’t take advantage of it.But why am I so motivated? Now, there are only 2 things in this world that can make me motivated: Girl and money. Of course, in this case it’s the money.Quoting ilmukomputer.com,“Di Indones
Types of AdSense 2007-07-28 21:06:00 There are 4 products of AdSense. There are ad units, ad links, adsense for search, and referral.We can put maximum 3 ad units, 3 ad links, 2 Google AdSense for search, and 3 referrals on a page. Like you see on this page, there are 3 ad units (2 ad images on the left, and 1 on the bottom), 2 ad links (under the header’s banner and on the footer), 1 Google AdSense for search, and 3 referrals (those ads for AdSense, AdWords, and Firefox with Google toolbar).-Ad UnitsActually it could be displayed as text links or images. But I myself prefer as images. Well, it could be different in every case, but in my case on my blog (http://orenoanime.blogspot.com), the images are more eyes-catching and that makes people more interested to click it. You should test it by yourself, to know what kind of ad units are more suitable for your site (so, if you have blogger, just copy the code like usual (from the adsense site), instead use the instant way provided by blogger, so that you can add a channel
DO NOT CLICK YOUR OWN ADS 2007-07-27 19:45:00 There are some mistakes you can make with AdSense, but the stupidest mistake is clicking your own ads! Google knows your identity, your IP-Address, your location, your frequency, etc. BIG BROTHER (GOOGLE-SAMA) IS WATCHING US!DO NOT CLICK YOUR OWN ADS! Not even once!!There are some people who tested their ads. They wanted to know if the ads work. Yes, it works! Of course it works! Then they got banned!The banned guy: I was just starting AdSense, now I get banned (T_T) .. What should I do? ( >_
What AdSense is 2007-07-27 19:29:00 A conversation on Yahoo!MessengerAbi: Hey friend! What’s up? How are you doing?Friend: Yeah, I’m good. A little bit desperate with my study and love, but I’m OK. And you?Abi: Yeah. Love doesn’t bother me. I don’t have any girlfriend so I don’t have any problem with it (I don’t, do I?). About the exam, I hope I could make it. But I think I’m concentrating in AdSense too.Friend: Wow.. That sounds cool!Abi: Yeah, I think it wouldn’t be bad if I have some revenue from it. It’s free after all.Friend: Well, Well.. I think you’re doing it well. By the way, can I ask you something?Abi: Of course!Friend: What is the adsense you’re talking about?Abi: eh?Friend: What is that adsense?Abi: ?!?Dude! You’re online every day, browsing the sites every day, and you don’t know what adsense is?!?!Dude!!Hahahaha.. I should tell that to myself 1 year ago.Well, we were all beginner after all (but I am a beginner, I’m a NOOB), so it’s not that embarrassing. But it’s quite a m
My Mistakes part 1 2007-07-27 13:43:00 ok, I'm actualy busy with my study, because of the exam. So I think I'll just write some short posts.this is my biggest mistake I've ever made with adsense:I wasn't not taking adsense seriously! BIG MISTAKE.I'm not writing every day. I should, but I don't... ckckck BIG MISTAKE.I think I did it seriously (I always ask about adsense, watching some tutorials, reading some articles, etc) but it's not good enough. I have to write everyday.Why? because I write blog! It's not a site with much content in it. It's not a forum with members who write the content. But I write the content all by myself (I hate copy-pasting, so I don't do it (I think you guys shouldn't do it too))I need traffic to increase my earning (since my PPC is just about 0,01 to 0,4 dollar). But I don't write every day. That makes people run away.
hohoho oh yeah... -_- 2007-07-23 12:37:00 It has been about a month since I start adsense (you can see my only adsensed blog at http://orenoanime.blogspot.com/)how much money I got do you expect?it wouldn't be so much in the first month. so how much?10 dollar? or 50 maybe?YOU ARE ALL SO WRONG!look at this picture!it's 0,57 F dollar!!!what have I done??? I also told and taught one of my friend about adsense, and he got 7 dollar!believe it or not, I've got more traffic than he got.so why??? why is this happened to me??? what mistakes did I do?and above all, why do I choose to adsense my blog and (try to) get serious with my blog??well, I'll tell you in the next post. just wait.^^
how a noob play adsense 2007-07-19 10:07:00 hohoho... I create this blog on purposes:-to make sure you know that adsense is not an easy way or a shortcut. It requires hard work!-to tell you the trick, the tips, etc.I hope I will be successful at adsense and you can see how I try from the zero-point.
AdSense for Mobile 2007-09-21 16:18:00 I was doing my daily adsense checking.. as I thought, I'm a noob, and I only got 2 click.. man.. it's frustrating..But I saw something new that I never saw before. A new program by adsense: AdSense for Mobile
..What the hell is AdSense for Mobile?!?I don't know.. It's my first time seeing this.When I click the link, we can see the details about this program:Enhance your mobile website - and your profits - with targeted ads from Google.-Gain exposure to the large and growing number of mobile advertisers.-Readers will find our precisely targeted ads relevant and useful.-Finally unlock the full revenue potential of your mobile site by displaying Google ads.That was what google said.. I'm not so sure about what it said, but I think it means we can put some ads on the page that could be accessed by mobile phone.But how do we have a mobile website??I have no idea.. but this is what google said:We should rewrite our page with languages that mobile phone can read such as XHTML, WML, and CH

Frustrating Moment 2007-09-13 23:53:00 Sorry guys, this time I'm not gonna give you tips, tricks, and all other stuff.To be honest with you, I'm quite desperate right now. Why? I have not enough backlinks. I still have no Page Rank. Zero. none.I know, I know.. Im not being patient right now, and that's not good.On the other day, I posted something that might get me back link, it's the link bait.But the thing is, right now, I haven't got much traffic, and I'm also lack of article too.The probability that people will link back to me is somewhat low.But if you think I'm gonna give up. Hell no! I'm not a quitter. I'm not a loser.So, my target right now is, to get backlinks as many as possible, and get my first page rank.I was just submitting my article to ezine, about the click exchange. So I hope it's gonna work.And I'm not about to look for another methods to get backlinks.Link Exchange? hmm... actually, it's a good idea. But without page rank? I don't know. I think I should first learn about the formula of the p Read more:Moment
Link Bait 2007-09-12 10:15:00 I said that the number of back link is very important for SEO (and of course link will give you traffic). But you’re just able to put some link just on some websites (Your other sites, or by doing link exchange, etc).So how can we make people link to our site? The technique is called “link bait”.How could we do this link bait? By creating quality content of course. Yes, but quality content like what?Generally there are 5 types of article/content that could make people link to your site, we called them as “hooks”:-Informational Hooks. This kind of hooks provides useful information, tips, tricks, etc. This site could be categorized as informational hooks (just if my article could be useful for you and you will link to me (T_T) )-News Hooks. This kind of hooks provides the most fresh and actual information or hot news. For example, someone writes about celebrity’s gossip or disaster that kills 1000 people. You will most likely get many visitors from this hook. But this kind of
Introduction to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) 2007-09-10 14:34:00 I assume you have already registered your site on search engine (Google, Yahoo!, and MSN).I believe your site is already detected. But the problem is, most likely if you search something related to your site, your site doesn’t show up on the first page.For example, if I search on Google for keywords “adsense click exchange”, this site shows up on 12th page! Damn, who the hell will look to the 12th page?!In my case, I have failed for the keywords “adsense click exchange” (but maybe someday it will show up on the 1st or 2nd page)So how can I improve this? The technique to improve this is called SEO

.So what determine your site’s position in Google? That’s actually a secret and the algorithm is way too complex (and it change once in a time too)But always remember, Google looks for quality page.So how does Google know which site is a high quality site and which one is a low quality site?Like I said before, it’s too complex (and a secret too), but Read more:Introduction

My Prediction for 2008 2008-01-02 20:38:00 OK, I keep it short, simple and clean.My prediction for 2008 is, there will be not that many websites like in 2007. In 2007 we know that there are so many small websites. I don't think the same thing will happen again in 2008. instead, there will be more website for application or service (because there are so many, maybe too many websites in the internet and people are trying to make their websites stand out), which need to be programmed first. Consequently, there will be not so many new websites, because not everybody can do programming.but because there are many website for application and service, the other website which don't need to be programmed first will not stand out and the oppurtunity for those websites shades out.about google adsense.. well I just saw it on google trends.. and Read more:Prediction
