30 tips to increase your adsense revenue 2007-04-29 11:47:00 I was navigate over the net (forums) and recollected all possible tips that users share: Those information are taken from: WebmasterWorld: All credits to the posters.1.

When it comes to content, take the time write the best article you can. Don’t write a bunch of rehashed garbage that’s already been copied 100x before by lazier webmasters then you.

Clear off the clutter, eye candy, bells and whistles
8 ways to make money online 2007-04-29 11:44:00 Lately, i have been searching for better ways of website monetization. I think Google Adsense alone is not good enough. It is normal to chase for more online
earning, right? I have found a few ways of monetization, but almost all of them doesn’t sound too good, unfortunately.1. Contextual Advertising. The best of these services seem to be offered by Google, with their Adsense program and by Yahoo, with YPN. Other services aren’t quite contextual and offer really low bids, in comparison with those. But, if you are banned by Adsense and outside US ( YPN allows only US Publishers ) you will have to choose from Clicksor or Bidvertiser, which seem to be the best, excluding Adsense and YPN.2. Affiliate Marketing. This means putting affiliate banners or links on your website and getting paid for lead or sale. For sales you will be paid a percentage of the sale or a fixed amount. Of course, for many sales and signups, you have to put ads related to your website’s content ( e.g. Don’t t

Design and Layout - Google ads? Affiliate Programs? Links to other sites and blogs? 2007-04-27 17:58:00 Design and layout seem easy with a blogger blog. You're able to choose from a number of templates and be up and blogging within 10 minutes. You can easily add page elements, ads, and links. That's the advantage of blogger for you, but it's very telling to your blog's readers.

Simply by looking at the design and layout of your site, and the placement and number of ads you have posted. If you set your site up, chose a default template, threw in a few AdSense links, and left it alone, we know you are just playing at blogging.

Increase your techorati rank - Tip from www.earnersblog.com 2007-04-27 15:01:00 I found this on Earnersblog.comYesterday my Technorati rank was around 40,000, today it’s hovering at about 4,100. So how did I manage to increase 35,000 positions in just one day? Simple really. Potentially you have way more links out there than technorati gives you credit for. This probably goes for a lot of the guys that are in the top 100 aswell. I used Xenu to fully spider & grab all the URL’s from sites I knew had a Sitewide link to Earners Blog. I loaded all the URL’s into a text file & got rid of any externals. I then loaded the full list into the pinging tool that comes with Blogger Generator, fire the technorati ping server into it: http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping Then just let it run on the entire list. This technique increased my link count from 888 to 3,100 within the space of around 60 minutes. Why’s this important? Well, whilst having a high technorati rank isn’t overly important, it can help increase your value in Textlinkads & Reviewme. But for people
Increase your techorati rank 2007-04-27 14:56:00 First of all technorati ranks you on how many blogs link to your site. Potentially you have way more links out there than technorati gives you credit for. This probably goes for a lot of the guys that are in the top 100 as well. The HackFirst of all you need to find a site with site wide links to your site. this means that everyone of their pages links to your website. If your in a blog’s blogroll then you have sitewide links from his blog. Once you find a site use a program like Xenu to fully spider & grab all the URL’s from the site or sites that have a Sitewide link to your website.Then load all the URL’s into a text file & get rid of any external links. once you have done that load the full list into a pinging tool and ping the entire list to technorati. The Analogy Behind The HackWhen you Ping the list to technorati it makes them believe that each one of those urls is an individual blog and then credits you for the links. This can dramatically increase your technorati r
What is Google Page Rank 2007-04-27 14:18:00 Google Page Rank is a numbering system that Google gives to your website based on a variety of different factors. It’s a fluid ranking, meaning that it can change from update to update, going up or down. It’s also a way that people judge your website, especially in the blogosphere. Unless you’re well known in blog town, your Page Rank is the quickest way someone will be able to tell if what you’re saying is worth their reading. From Google’s explanation page rank is PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important Now that may seem a bit confusing a Read more:Google

Top 10 tips for blogging 2007-04-26 19:10:00 1.) Stay on topic. Opinions are generally accepted but the content of the items in the blog should all relate to a general theme. Unless you have an uncanny knack for wit, humor or cynicism, the majority of your readers will be interested in the content that relates to a specific defined theme or loosely defined area of interest. Most readers won't care that you eat Cheerios for breakfast. They may, however, be interested in the fact that vinegar takes out stains and that toilet paper rolls make great wreaths. Define a topic and stick to it. This will ensure that you create a loyal following of interested readers. 2.) Stay informative. If you are attempting to create the impression that you are knowledgeable about a specific industry or sector, be sure that you stay current on news. If you are endorsing a product or voicing an opinion, be sure to check your facts; your reputation is at stake. If you are offering an opinion, be sure to qualify your post, making it clear that the conten

12 ways To A Better Website or blog. 2007-05-01 10:27:00 1. Know Your Target Audience Before any development can take place you must know your viewers browsing habits. It is critical to your website’s success that it reflect the values of your viewers. If your target market is the affluent business professional then it should reflect that with a clean easy to navigate and read design. If your website’s viewers are younger adults then a more relaxed and informal look may be acceptable. The key is to know your market and build accordingly. It’s your target audience that dictates the design of your site- not you. 2. What’s the Theme of Your Site Your website should have a clear and decisive theme. A viewer should know exactly what your website is all about after reading the first paragraph of the index page. If you are selling a product or service it should be evident within the first30 seconds what that product or service is. If your business offers multiple products, it’s best to dedicate a unique page for each product rather
