Free SEO Reporting Tools for the Business Owner with a Plan..

Most company owners know that SEO is a long and slow process. You’re constantly waiting to see your name at the top of that search engine results page, but it’s tough to know when it’s going to happen. For this reason, many companies use SEO reporting tools to help ease a little bit of the suspense.
SEO reporting helps keep you in the loop when it comes to your SEO efforts. In general, SEO reporting software will give you the ranking of a keyword you are targeting and then show you the jump in rankings that keyword has over time. Other reporting tools offer information about your web pages for further optimization, the Google PageRank or Alexa ranking of your site, and/or the competition for a specific keyword. Unfortunately, many of these software cost money that many companies just don’t have. In such an up-and-down economy, things like SEO reporting tools usually get the boot when it comes to budget cuts.


However, there are several SEO reporting tools that are completely free. Although they may not have quite as many of those “fancy” features you would get with some software, they get the job done. The tools will give you an idea about the success (or failure) of your SEO efforts so you can improve. Below is a list of my top five favorite free reporting tools.

Top 5 SEO Reporting Tools That Work Break Your Pocketbook

1. Google Analytics – This tool allows you to see not only the traffic to your website, but where that traffic is coming from. This will let you know if people are finding you through links or directly. You can also see how you are doing in terms of ranking by taking a quick look at a graph.
2. SEO Quake – This works great for Mozilla Firefox and Chrome and works as a browser plugin. It will show you your PageRank and Alexa ranking and can be installed as a toolbar right at the top of your screen. This makes the tool convenient to use. It also has the ability to highlight the number of times a keyword shows up on a specific webpage.
3. SEO for Firefox – This tool also generates rankings (obviously) and is easy to use. It also allows you to find the source of all the data that is pulled for you, which is a nice feature for someone who likes to have a full understanding of all analytics. Read the SEO Book article for a complete list of features.
4. Rank Checker – This is another Firefox extension that allows you to check rankings while surfing the Internet. All you need to do is enter your website’s domain name and then paste in the keywords you’re hoping to track.
5. Quarkbase – What makes this tool somewhat unique is the fact that it can tell you detailed information about a domain. It will tell you the owner, the sites date history, and the social media accounts of a specific site. This is a great tool for those who like to dig a little bit deeper into SEO reporting and competition.

Tips for Making Money Online with Coupons....

Every day, thousands of people are going to the internet to find a way of making money. As a result, online business has become increasingly competitive, thus making it difficult for anyone to stand out. However, one of the best ways of earning an income online, which is relatively untapped, is through using coupons.
So, how exactly can you make money using coupons?

1. Create Your Own Products and Offer Coupons to Motivate People to Buy

If you want to earn an income using coupons, you should first find a way of branding yourself as an authority in your field. When your prospects begin to trust you and recognize you as an authority in your niche, you can then work towards coming up with your own product.
The best kinds of products are those which can be easily downloaded such as audio or video clips, eBooks, software or electronic courses. Once you have the product, you should then create unique coupons, discounts and promo codes to promote your products on a regular basis.
Coupon offers usually produce in readers a specific sense of urgency. Therefore, if properly used, coupons can significantly multiply the sales of your products.

2. Getting Coupons From Other Product Creators/retailers

If you are not in a position to create your own product, you can also use coupons to market other people’s products. This is referred to as affiliate marketing. Though some product creators run their own affiliate programs, most of them use third part affiliate schemes such as Commission Junction, Affiliate Window, TradeDoubler and Share A Sale to promote their products. Once you join one of these affiliate schemes, you will then need to choose which products you want to promote. Each product has an affiliate link which you can place in your site or blog. When a visitor to your site clicks on the link, they are directed to the merchant’s website.
If they make a purchase, you will then be paid a commission for the sale. An example of an affiliate site is YouLoveCoupons, a coupon blog which promotes london pass promo codes and world soccer discounts.
A very effective way of getting visitors to your site to click on your affiliate links is the ‘click to reveal’ strategy. This is where the visitor is required to click on a button to so as to access some exclusive information.

3. Offer Coupons in Return for Subscription

This is a very subtle and powerful strategy that is rarely used. It simply involves offering people who subscribe to your list discounts and coupons. Let them know that they will be receiving more coupons in future. This will motivate them to open your emails every time you send a message. By building your list, you will be able to increase your sales in the long run.

Making money...online

Making money on the Internet is a hot topic, and something many of us would like to do. It’s a nice thought to stay at home and make money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without actually working those hours. One of the most common means of making money is through advertising on your Web site, where a visitor will click on an advertising banner, and you get a percentage of the cost of that click.
Last year I was looking into ways to make money off the Internet. I didn’t have a Web site at the time, so the advertising idea was not applicable. Another solution would be the more time consuming method: open an ecommerce site. I have done Web programming before, but have never created an ecommerce site. After looking into what is required, such as a Web host, merchant account, inventory management, shipping, to name few, I decided to look for an easier way.
This easier way presented itself in the form of Shopster. I decided to take the chance and signed up with them to see what they had to offer.

How to Make More Money Techniques.

There are many techniques that you can use to make more money from your blog. If your only means of monetizing your blog is CPM advertising — such as Google AdSense — chances are you’re selling yourself short. A select few blogs, typically high-traffic blogs in particular niches, can earn a comfortable living from CPM advertising, most cannot. There’s a reason why it has earned the moniker “webmaster welfare.” It might pay the hosting bills, but chances are it doesn’t go much further than that. If you want to boost your blog’s income, you’ll need to try something different.

How to Make More Money Techniques

There are a few ways to go about earning more money from your blog. Each comes with its own sets of ups and downs. Additionally, not all options make sense for all blogs. Depending on what type of blog you run, you’ll get by best with a different combination of monetization techniques.

Direct Sales

Works best for: Any kind of blog can create a product and sell it on-site. Information products, such as ebooks, work the best, since they require the least amount of overhead. Selling physical products is possible, too, thanks to expanding means of manufacturing and shipping.
Why it works: It’s the most profitable method of website monetization. A single sale can reward the seller with profits that equal days upon days of CPM advertising rates. Even better, direct sales can be combined with CPM advertising to bring in even more money.
Why it doesn’t: Plenty of effort goes into researching and creating a product, whether information or physical. Selling a product also takes focused time and effort — your product isn’t going to sell itself, in other words. It requires great investment and a fair amount of risk, which simply won’t appeal to some people.
Best implementation: Creating a well-organize and thoroughly researched ebook is the best way for a blogger to enter the marketplace. While there are thousands of ebooks already on the market, a quality product, properly marketed, will still sell well. While other products might sell for more money, they typically involve more on the back end. That is, they might not generate the same level of profits, since they include additional costs such as manufacturing and shipping. A well-crafted ebook, though, can provide a greater level of income than CPM advertising alone.

Affiliate Sales

Works best for: New blogs that lack focus can seamlessly implement affiliate sales (though they might have trouble finding lucrative programs). Blogs that exist to provide information can also implement affiliate sales.
Why it works: If your blog already provides reviews and other information about certain products and services, adding a link so that readers can buy them is a simple process. Affiliate sales also have far more potential than CPM advertising. In order to make a dollar through CPM, a blog needs at least a thousand page views — and in instances of lower traffic blogs, it can require many more than that. With a decent conversion rate, affiliate sales stand to earn a blogger more per visitor on average.
Why it doesn’t: Not all blogs are equipped to handle affiliate sales. One of my blogs exists for entertainment purposes, and it’s no surprise that we don’t convert well on affiliate links. That’s because affiliate sales still require a degree of salesmanship. It’s tough to sell and entertain at the same time. Any blogs with an aim to entertain likely won’t do well by placing affiliate links throughout their site.
Best implementation: Affiliate sales can be highly complex, but the payoff can be astronomical. It’s best, then, to study what others in similar niches are doing. Web research can provide some information on this, but any serious affiliate needs to find some cheap tickets and fly out to one of the many annual conventions such as Affiliate Summit or PubCon. That requires some more overhead, but these conferences wouldn’t exist if people didn’t find a good return on investment from them.

Ad Sponsorships

Works best for: Entertainment blogs will do well to find an exclusive sponsor. Essentially, any blog not equipped for affiliate sales will likely do well to search out a corporate advertising sponsor.
Why it works: Look at your average blog. It’s probably littered with ads. Maybe it refreshes constantly, in order to pump up the page views. It’s no wonder that many advertisers find these blogs unattractive places to advertise their services. By seeking out one sponsor for your blog, you’re offering them exclusive placement. Combined with a clean blog layout, it can be a much more agreeable place for them to spend their advertising dollars.
Why it doesn’t: Many companies are still reluctant to advertise on the web. If your blog doesn’t meet a certain traffic threshold, it might be impossible to find a company to pay a reasonable rate for exclusive sponsorship. Also, sponsorships typically require the site place a logo in its banner. Site owners might not be keen on this arrangement.
Best implementation: Hunt around for blogs that have similar traffic levels to yours. Note what types of companies advertise on them (and, of course, which ones advertise on your blogs). Then it’s time to hit the phone lines. Research these companies a little and find out where you can call for advertising inquiries. It will take a little convincing, but it should be clear that a clean sponsorship on a single niche blog can work better than willy nilly ad spots on multiple websites of varying natures.
If you’re not happy with the payouts you’re getting from Google AdSense and other CPM advertising programs, it’s time to change the game. There are many ways you can earn money with your blog that don’t require you to go on webmaster welfare. Some of these programs can even combine with CPM advertising, so you might be able to pay your bills with one and reap the full benefits of the others. Whichever method you choose, make sure to do something. If you’re only using CPM advertising, you are leaving money on the table.

How To Generate Web Site Traffic. Tips...

There is much discussion on how to generate traffic to your Web site, but I decided to list a few points on the methods I like to use.

1. It’s All About Content You may have heard that "content is king." What does this mean? Visitors to your site like to read updated and unique content. This means you must update your Web site on a regulary basis to keep your visitors coming back for more. Search engines also love unique content. The more content you have the more you will get listed in search engines. When you first start a site search engines may be your main traffic generator so it’s best to get listed in them. Also remember to check your spelling and grammar.
   
2. Write Content For Your Visitors When writing your content, write it for your visitors and not search engines. This means don’t load up the content with keywords that is hard to read and understand. You need your visitors to keep coming back and not the search engines. If you write unique content the search engines will list you…don’t worry.
   
3. Linking to Your Web Site This is a big part of getting listed in search engines, and thus getting more traffic. The more quality Web sites that link to yours, the better search engine rank you will receive. You should have sites that share the same niche as your site link back to you. When a search engine indexes the other site, it will find the link to yours and then index your site.
   
4. Get Listed in Directories Besides search engines, there is another type of site you should get listed in: a directory. A directory is a list of Web sites that are organized into various categories. Many of these Web sites are very popular so getting listed in one of them can help you generate traffic. A bonus to getting listed in a directory is that they usually have a high page rank, which will help increase yours. Do a search for directories that contain your Web site niche and get added.
See also Open Directory Project.

5. Forums and Blogs I put these two into the same point because they essentially do the same thing: you leave comments and a link to your Web site. Let me explain. Do a search for a forum that is related to your niche, and sign up. Add your Web site name and URL in your signature to your profile. Now leave comments to some of the posts in the forum. Search engines will index forums, and at the same time will find the link in your signature which will once again act as a link back to your site. Leaving comments in blogs acts the same way as comments in forums.
   See also Website Babble.
   
6. Write Ezine Articles Ezine articles are similar to magazine articles except they appear online. There are several free Web sites that allow you to write your own article. These are great as you can become a well-known leader in your niche. You should then put a link at the end of your article to your Web site, so anyone reading it can click the link and go to your site. Search engines will also index any article you have written. Other sites that also enjoy your article may print your article with the link to your Web site included. You can’t get any better than that for something that cost you nothing but time.
   See also Ezine Articles.
   
7. Good Site layout This one is important to get your visitors to return. Make sure your site is easy to read and navigate. Having light grey text on a white background may be hard for some to easily read, so use black instead. A visitor to your site should be able to understand how to navigate within the first few seconds of loading the page. Keep the navigation simple, such as a menu on one side of the page or across the top.
   
8. Submit Your Feed If you have a blog make sure you submit your feed to various Web sites. A feed is the content that you have created in a specific format. You can also create feeds for a regular Web site as well.
   See also Feedburner or Ping-o-matic.
   
9. Advertising This point is not one to generate traffic as much as revenue, but I felt it important to list, as it can reduce your traffic. Placing advertising on your site is a debatable issue. The issue that is up for debate is when should you place advertisment: when you first start your Web site, or when you get a large number of visitors? My take on the issue is that it is your choice, just don’t load your site with advertisment. I hate sites that display advertisement at almost all possible locations on a Web page: top, bottom, left and right. I prefer that the advertisement be in one location and blend into the site and not stand out.

How to View Your Web Site as Search Engines See It.

For many who start out in web site management, they learn quickly from the experienced webmasters about search engine optimization. Such things as layout and keywords are usually discussed with many tips and tricks offered to improved a web site’s earch engine ranking. There are many web sites that are made up mainly of flash or images which can cause problems with search engines since they have difficulty reading either format.
One of the biggest tips is good unique content with lots of text. The text is what search engines use to rank a web site. In this post I will show you a quick method of viewing your web site as search engines may see it. This will allow you to determine if what the search engines see is how you expect them to see your web site.

View You Web Site’s Text

As mentioned above, many search engines have difficulty reading flash and image only web sites. The reason for this is because there is no text that they can use to rank a web site. Search engines will use the text to rank your site among various keywords in their results.
For someone managing a web site, you may want to view your web site with no images, or even CSS styles to see how a search engine will read your site.
There are web sites online that will display your web site as straight text with no CSS styles or images displayed. Many places may charge a small fee for this option, while others offer it for free. You could also install a text-only web browser and then open your site in that browser.
The easiest method that I found was to view the text-only version of your web site directly in Google, provided that it is ranked. To your web site’s text only version, use the following steps:

1. Enter a search term in Google to display your web site in it’s results. For Technically Easy, I searched for “Technically Easy”.
2. In the results, click the Cached link (see the figure below).

Click to view full size (24KB).
Google will now retrieve a version of your web site it has cached. Keep in mind that since this is a cached version, it may not be up-to-date as to what is currently displayed on your web site.

3. At the top of the cached page, click the cached text link. The figure below shows where this link is located.

Click to view full size (32KB).

4. A cached text-only version of your web site will now appear. This is roughly how a search engine will view your web site. You will also notice the alternate tags for any images that you have included on your web site.

There are a few downsides to using this method:

1. Your web site needs to be included in Google’s index.
2. Only provides a text version of the cached page you are viewing. You will need to click the cached version of additional web pages from Google’s search results to view other pages.
3. The cached text-only version may not be the most recent copy of your web site.

For a quick, easy, and free method of viewing a text-only copy of your web site, you may not care about some of the above points.

Summary

Search engines rank a site in specific keywords they find in the text on a web page. It may at times be beneficial to you to view a text-only version of your web page to see how a search engine may see it. Google’s cache provides a quick and easy method of viewing your web site without images and CSS styles loaded.
Although there are a few downsides to the method, you can easily ensure that the search engines are reading your web site as you would like them to read it.

Submit Sitemap in Google..Webmaster(Blogger)

Adding a sitemap to Google’s Webmaster tools is one of the first tips you will be told to do when you first manage a web site or blog. It is an easy process to do, and you can get many benefits from it, such as monitoring how Google is indexing your pages, the external and internal links it finds, and any problems Google may find with indexing your site.
For Blogger users, the sitemap to your blog may not be easy to find. Blogger does have a built-in tool that can help you add your sitemap, but if other services can use a sitemap, you may want to know where the sitemap is located. The good news, is that it is easy to find.

Blogger Tells You Your Sitemap Name

When I was using Blogger I had to look up in the Blogger help and forums on where I could find a sitemap. I eventually found out that the atom feed produced by Blogger can be used as a sitemap. The trouble was trying to remember the feed URL each time I needed to use the sitemap.
For many web sites, the robots.txt file may contain the location of a sitemap for their site. Usually, a webmaster would need to create the entry into the robots.txt file for it to be included. For Blogger users, this is done automatically for you.
To find the location of your sitemap, use the following steps:

1. Open up your web browser, and type in your Blogger blog’s URL.
2. At the end of the URL add robots.txt. For example, if the URL of your blog is http://myblog.blogspot.com, then enter http://myblog.blogspot.com/robots.txt
   
3. Some text should now be displayed in your browser. Look for a line that starts with Sitemap:. The URL after that label is the location of your sitemap. Using the example above, the line would look like:
   Sitemap: http://myblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated
   
4. Back in Google’s Webmaster Tools, the domain name part of the URL would already be included, so you would just need to specify the feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated portion of the sitemap URL. If other sites are able to accept a sitemap, then you may need to include the entire URL

If in the future you are having problems with your sitemap, you can always pull up the robots.txt file to make sure your sitemap file hasn’t changed.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Decide on a blog concept. Choose a topic you have knowledge about or interest in. To make money from a website, you must be able to generate traffic. Remember that authentic content brings in traffic, and good content is much easier to create if you are well acquainted with, or very interested in, the topic you are writing about. If you garden, for example, start a gardening blog. Consider three factors when making your final decision: 1) how many competitor blogs exist on the same topic, 2) how many Adsense ads are available for that topic, and 3) how likely are you to be able to create consistent, reader-worthy content for it.
     
   • 2
     Create branding. Choose a distinct name that is easy to remember. Check to see if the name you've chosen is available on Blogger.com, as well as on email and Twitter. If so, open accounts to secure the name before someone else does. Your Blogger.com URL will include the word "blogspot," but Blogger.com also offers the option of publishing to a domain instead of their free blogspot address. If the name you've chosen is available as a domain and you can afford the monthly web hosting cost, purchase your domain. Create an avatar or logo, and use the same one everywhere.

     Build your blog. Spend some time researching and viewing successful blogs to study their layout. Blogger.com has user-friendly templates with gadgets that are easy to add. Insert features such as "Followers," which enables people to follow your blog and be notified when you post new content. For the protection of their advertisers, Adsense requires that your blog have legitimate content, so don't monetize your blog quite yet.
     
   • 4
     Create top-quality content that provides your readers with useful information. Write with proper grammar and spelling. Write short, concise, valuable posts that make readers want to bookmark your site and return. Use humor, but remain professional. Every published keystroke is potentially permanent, because your content can be copied and forwarded before you have a chance to edit or delete, so never say anything inflammatory or negative. Study search engine optimization, which is the art of designing and writing web content so that search engines can find it more easily, and infuse your writing with lots of searchable phrases that are relevant to your topic.
     
   • 5
     Enrich your site with imagery. Purchase stock photographs, or take photos yourself. Remember that when you "right click, save-as" any photo from the web you are stealing, unless that photo is specifically marked free for use. Microstock agencies are more affordable than traditional stock photography or hiring a photographer, although for the reduced cost you lose image exclusivity and run the risk that images you purchase will be seen elsewhere. Browse "free" sections of agencies to see if any of their featured images meet your requirements.
     
   • 6
     Monetize your blog. While logged in to your Dashboard, click on the "Monetize" tab, and fill in the required information. Adsense will review your site for legitimacy and viable content. Once your blog has been approved, populate your site with ads.
     
   • 7
     Study Adsense rules very carefully, and follow them. Adsense disables accounts without notice for violation of their rules and policies. They have an appeal process, but there is no guarantee you will be reinstated; once you have lost your Adsense account, you cannot open another one.
     
   • 8
     Above-the-fold advertising is seen the most by newspaper readers, and the same applies to websites. Place at least one ad above the scroll line, so that your readers will see it without having to scroll down. Avoid inserting too many ads, as this will make your site appear spam-like.
     
   • 9
     Advertise your site. Network on line, via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Leave comments on other blogs, but only if you have something constructive and positive to say about their content---don't just comment asking them to visit your site. Add your website address to your email signature, and ask your friends to pass it along.
     
   • 10
     Work daily. Add quality content on a regular basis. Three high quality posts per week are better than three quick and careless posts per day. On the days that you are not posting, network instead, as well as research and learn.
     

Adsense Best Tips.

Google AdSense is an online advertising program in which owners of web pages place ads, mostly text-based, on the sites in exchange for a fee. When visitors to the webpages view or click on the ads, Google will pay the owner of the site a small amount of money as commission. There are a number of tips that website owners can use to optimize their use of the program and improve their earnings.

• How to use Google AdSense

1. Don't Make A Site Just For AdSense

   • Sometimes website designers will create pages whose only purpose is host AdSense ads. Often, these sites feature language intended to attract profitable advertising, such as "asbestos," "mesothelioma" and "low interest home loans." If fact, Google seldom directs traffic to these sites, making them money losers.
     

   Use Non-Standard Ad Sizes

   • One of the main hazards to visitors clicking on your ads is "ad blindness," in which readers' eyes seem to wander right over your ads without seeing them. To avoid this, make your ads stand out by using non-standard ad sizes. For instance, avoid the banner ad at the top of the page, which most people stopped noticing in the late 1990s.

   Place Your Ads In Heat Sensitive Spots

   • In their AdSense Help section---available in the References section below---Google includes a "heat map" that shows where the human eye moves when it first encounters a web page. The map suggests the human eyes looks to the center and the upper right, making this prime real estate for ads.
     

   Rotate Ad Schemes

   • If you keep your ads the same, repeat visitors will stop noticing them. Change color schemes regularly to keep your page fresh.
     

   Use Google Analytics

   • Google Analytics is a great tool to know whose visiting your site and seeing your ads, allowing you to tweak content and ad placement.
     

   Attract Traffic From Image Search Engines

   • While many website designers know to load their page with words that will attract traffic from search engines, many forget that image search engines are a big generator of hits as well. Add a few well-labeled images and boost your Google Image search referrals.
     

   Use Contrasting Colors

   • To avoid ad blindness, make your ads pop by using ad colors that contract with your background.
     

   Avoid Non-English Words on English Pages

   • Non-English words have the potential to attract non-English ads, which few English speakers will click on. Avoid them as much as possible.
     

   Study AdSense Premium Sites

   • AdSense Premium sites, such as Maholo and the New York Times, receive special layout advice from an AdSense coordinator. Study their layouts for tips on maximizing ad revenue.
     

   Follow the AdSense Terms of Service

   • This is an obvious one, but an astonishing number of websites don't do it. Follow the AdSense Terms of Service or prepare to be booted.

How to Get Google Adsense Approval Fast?

By Saksham Talwar

Every blogger dreams of making a lot of money online and most of them want to make a lot of money online particularly from Google Adsense, because it’s simply the best and the most reputed ad network around which also offers the market best CPCs. But dreams of several newbies are shattered because Google Adsense has strict approval rules for obvious reasons like to reduce fake accounts, to reduce spam, to  prevent frauds from happening and some more reasons. And this is why some times even genuine Adsense applications get disapproved. Here are some things you should work on before applying for Google Adsense program.

Things to Keep in Mind

• When your Adsense application is disapproved (if you’ve applied before) there’s a genuine reason behind it…
• & thus every Adsense application is not meant to be approved.
• Mistakes can happen because there are humans reviewing your Adsense application…
• & so do not stop trying!

How To Get Approved For Adsense Fast?

URL of Your Website & it’s Age Matter

A person is more likely to visit a TLD (Top Level Domain) than a sub-domain (anything.anything.com). Also extensions like .co.cc, .tk, etc. are considered as Adsense unsafe as they are mostly used by spammers. So if you make use of sub-domains (especially Blogspot) or .co.cc domain or .tk domain, your application will be disapproved. A Blogspot blog may be approved in some cases, if it’s really a good blog, but .tk and .co.cc domains have very low Adsense approval rate.
I would rather suggest you to use  a TLD (preferably a .com one) while applying for Google Adsense. Alternatively, you can grab a good domain from GoDaddy auctions, Flippa or Sedo if you cannot think of a good domain or if you are looking for an aged domain as they have higher approval rates.

Get a Quality Check of Your Site Done

Before you apply for Google Adsense, get your site’s quality check done. No, you don’t need to hire someone to do this. You can in fact do your site’s quality check yourself. Here’s how you can do it:

• Review your site’s content. Make sure you have some 50 articles on your site, quality articles I mean before applying for Google Adsense.
• Go through your website’s traffic logs. If you are getting a lot of visitors from search engines, especially Google (since Adsense is a Google company) your site has something good in it.
• Go through some of your site’s pages and see if they’ve got any back links. You can use Majestic SEO for this. If they haven’t got any, build some yourself. While this isn’t a necessary step, but can help increase the Adsense application approval rate as your Adsense applications is directly proportional to your traffic which in turn is proportional to the back links you have!
• Check your site’s social standings. If your site or it’s pages are often shared on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or on social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon, Reddit, etc. the chances are high for your Adsense application to be approved!
• If your site is based on the adult niche, don’t apply for Google Adsense. So far, they haven’t approved any adult website.

Tweak your Site’s Design

A simple design is much better than a cluttered one. You can rather call it as a professional design. A professional looking site has more chances of getting approved for Google Adsense program. Some useful elements of a professional design are:

• Easy navigation.
• Distraction-free colors.
• An easily accessible search box.
• Links to important pages like Privacy, Disclaimer, About Us, Archives, etc.
• Some social buttons.
• Link to your Google Plus profile.
• Mention your name & something about yourself on your site so that Google Adsense team can easily verify your website.

T&C are Not for F.U.N

If you still haven’t read the Google Adsense terms & conditions, you can read it here. Most of your questions are directly or indirectly answered there. And one thing, T&C are really not for fun. You must read all the terms and conditions carefully at least one before applying for Google Adsense. This helps boost approval rate.

Get All the Details Right

When you apply for Adsense, make sure that you fill each field carefully and correctly. Even a small mistake can get your Adsense application disapproved. In order to avoid mistakes, a good idea will be to jot down on all the details required to apply for Google Adsense (address, phone number, pin code, etc.) on a paper and verify it twice. Once done, open the Google Adsense application and fill in each field correctly. Once done, check each filed twice for any mistakes or typos. Pay special attention to your name & your pin code as even a small mistake in it can get your account disapproved.
It would be great if you can ask someone from your family to review your Adsense application before you actually submit it. This helps in avoiding any mistakes that may have happened unknowingly. This sounds crazy and time consuming, but believe me, this is necessary!

Don’t Submit More than One Application

Submitting more than one application does bring you in spotlight. But this reduces your chances of getting approved. Repeated applications are considered to be filled using robots which Google does not like and if you have submitted more than one application, your applications will rather be marked as spam and you may not even receive a reply from Google support!

Re-apply Carefully

If your Adsense application was disapproved at the first attempt, think twice before re-applying. When the Adsense team disapproves your application, they provide a reason for the same, which is mostly valid. So get all the things right and then re-apply.
Now this is all I can suggest you to get quick Adsense approval. There are no other hidden tactics to get speedy Google Adsense approval. Some people may suggest you to buy Google Adsense accounts, but I DON’T recommend it at all! These accounts sooner or later are found by guys at Google and you can predict what happens next!
If you have something to say about getting Adsense approval, if you have some more Google Adsense approval tips or tactics, comment and let us know. I will love to mention your tip in this post!

6 Month Old URL

Google adsense have some strict account approval policies and one of them is blog should be 6 months old.If your website is not 6 month old then don't waste your time in applying for adsense because they will disapprove you by giving this reason- "unacceptable site content".

Fast Adsense Approval

Fast Adsense Approval

 The Google Adsense, is the great source of the bloggers and website owners to earn their revenue. But not all  bloggers and website owners get the Google Adsense approved. Due to their strict valuation most of the beginners who apply for Adsense gets rejected, like me. My first submission was rejected within no time due to the reason "not enough content" and in my 3rd submission i was approved, but in the second review process they rejected me saying unacceptable content. So i started searching why they rejects my account like many of the bloggers who are working hard to bring up their blogs and at last i have made some conclusions which may help us all to get our Adsense account approved.

Better use Top Level Domains

Many of the internet guru's say that it is better to use a top level domain ( sitename.com ) for your site rather using a sub domain ( name.mainname.com ), i too will support this since one of my friend's site was approved very fast by Adsense which has a top level domain but had only little posts. But Adsense also approves .blogspot domains if that blog has rich contents with a good traffic. Better buy a top level domain to get the Adsense approved fast.

Seven Tips to Increasing Your Website’s Traffic Using SEO

Seven Tips to Increasing Your Website’s Traffic Using SEO

SEO is the buzz word – many people have mentioned it and many have heard of it too, but very few people know how to implement it properly. SEO, stands for Search Engine Optimisation and it is the process of optimising and making your website visible to search engines in order to attract more traffic to your website.
SEO is a long term process and the process of search engine optimisation should be carried out and reviewed throughout the lifetime of a website. A few decades ago, submitting your website to search engines would be the only thing you would do to obtain traffic via search engines. However, time has changed and so have search engine algorithms, which means you would need to do more than just submit a site to achieve a good search engine ranking nowadays. Hopefully the following tips will guide you on your way to optimising your website for search engines.

1. Write a killer title tag

The title tag is one of the most prominent pieces of information that anyone sees in a search result page. It also carries significant weight in how search engine spiders rank a site. A title tag that contains relevant keywords and describes the content of the page effectively is more likely to receive a higher search engine ranking. Therefore, the title tag should be optimised to contain main keywords, be relevant to the content of the page, and encourage searchers to click on it when they see it on a search result page.
Example of a good title tag:
<title>Seven tips to increasing your website's traffic using SEO</title>

2. Optimise meta tags

Meta tags on a web page are the pieces of information that describe the page such as the keywords and description of the page and other browser related information. It is important to have unique meta tags for every page of your website that accurately describe the pages to the search engine spiders. The most commonly used meta tags in search engine optimisation are keywords, descriptions and robots.
Example of good meta tags:
<meta name="description" content="SEO is the buzz word - many people have mentioned it and many have heard of it too, but very few people know how to implement it properly. SEO, stands for Search Engine Optimisation and is the process of optimising and making your website visible to search engines in order to attract more traffic to your website. " />
<meta name="keywords" content="SEO, tips, website traffic, search engine optimisation, google, ranking " />

3. Use Search Engine Friendly URLs

There are basically two type of URLs for the World Wide Web; dynamic urls and static urls. Dynamic urls are those urls that contain query strings in the urls, for example, http://www.example.com/my_page.php?id=5&task=view. The disadvantages with this kind of URLs are they are hard to remember, difficult to type, and some search engine are not able to index pages with dynamic urls. Static urls are also referred to as search engine friendly urls because they help increase search engine rankings by allowing keywords in the URL itself. For example: http://www.example.com/seo+tips/. They are easy to remember, promote usability, allow search engine spiders to crawl the pages more effectively and increase the page ranking by having the title of the page in the url.
Example of a good url:
http://www.example.com/seo+tips/

4. Obtain relevant inbound links

Search engine algorithms are built in a way in which a website which has more relevant inbound links (ie: links from other websites) are ranked higher than a site with no links. The important rule here, however, is to ensure your website is linked from a website of a similar interest. For example: a web development blog is linked from a web development portal website.

5. Write a semantic code

Having a semantic code means HTML elements on a website are used for their given purposes and separate content from presentation. For example, HTML headings are used for titles and headings of a website, paragraphs of text are enclosed in an html paragraph tag, list items are properly coded using list item HTML tags, etc. This will improve the ranking of your website for appropriate keywords because while search engine spiders are not able to view a website visually, they are able to understand the HTML code of a website.
Example of a semantic code:

<p>SEO is the buzz word - many people have mentioned it and many have heard of it too, but very few people know how to implement it properly. SEO, stands for Search Engine Optimisation and is the process of optimising and making your website visible to search engines in order to attract more traffic to your website.</p>

6. Display keywords and links to important pages on homepage

We all know that it is important to have some text on your homepage, but it is also as important to have keywords and link those keywords to appropriate internal pages of your website. This is because search engine spiders do not scan a website visually but for keyword phrases, contents and links. Therefore, a website with appropriate keywords and links is more likely to have a higher ranking than a website with just a Flash object on the homepage. Examples of important pages that you would probably link to from the homepage are promotion pages and category pages.
Example of a good homepage:
<div id="home">
<h1>Web Development Blog</h1>
<h2>Web Development, Web Design, Web Applications, Web 2.0, AJAX, WordPress Themes, Search Engine Optimisation, Latest Technologies and more.</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://eisabainyo.net/weblog/category/css/" title="View all posts filed under CSS">CSS</a> (13)

</li>
<li><a href="http://eisabainyo.net/weblog/category/search/" title="View all posts filed under Search">Search</a> (19)</div>

7. Build a sitemap

Building a sitemap to help search engines index your content is a quick win because it is relatively easy to produce a sitemap either manually by hand or automatically using a tool. Sitemaps will help search engines to find all the pages on the website that you want them to find. Without a sitemap, it could take search engines a while to find and then index every single page on your website. Sitemaps.org provides useful information on building sitemaps that are supported by Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft.

Adsense Tips and Tricks

Adsense Tips and Tricks

With personal and commercial blogs, community websites, and social pages becoming the hot topic of the Internet in the last few years, many people have become more Internet-literate and are always looking for ways to make a few hundreds or even thousands from their websites.  This is when Google Adsense comes into play.  Google Adsense, unlike Affiliate Programs, is CPC (Pay-Per-Click) and the good thing about it, is you can still earn some bucks without making a sale. 
As with any other things in this world, it takes time, effort and dedication before you could earn some decent amount from Google Adsense.  And here are some of the tips and tricks to help you with your Google Adsense journey. 

Layout

1. Blend your ads to your website layout
This could be considered as one the most important things which is often overlooked.  Instead of using predefined colors provided by Google, try changing colors of your ads to match the website layout.  For example, if your website uses white background with green text, make sure you use the same colors for your ads. 
2. Do not display a border
While you can’t get rid of the border around your ad, you can make it invisible by changing the border color to that of the background.  Researches have shown that ads without a visible border generate much higher clicks than those with one. 
3. Do not place your ads in normal spots
Internet users have become accustomed to the normal ad spots (eg: a Leaderboard above your header, a Skyscrapper outside the content) and hence, any ads placed in those normal spots will often be ignored. 
4. Choose the right ad formats
There are a few ad formats which perform better than others.  Some of the recommended ad formats are Wide Skyscrapper, Medium Rectangle and Horizontal Ads Links.  However, these ad formats may not necessarily work for everyone, so choose the ones that work for you. 
5. Good layout design
Although a good layout design does not necessarily increase your Adsense revenue, it is important for the first impression and also for the professionalism.

Content

5. "Content is the king"
The fact that Google Adsense is contextual advertising implies that the ads being generated are often relevant to the website content.  That simply means you will not get any relevant ads if the content does not focus on a certain topic or the content is not text based.  For example, if your page does not have any copy/text but an image, it’s unlikely to get relevant ads.
6. Pick a high paying topic
It took me a while to find out that some keywords are being paid more than others.  While Google does not tell you how much advertisers are paying for their keywords, it is pretty easy to guess.  For example, ads about credit cards, home loans and insurance are being paid more than those ads about free blogging tool, yellow pages, etc.   It is also recommended to pick a Niche topic and provide a narrow focus than to pick a general topic. 
7. Update your website frequently
Updating your website frequently enables you to get more visitors checking out your website which increases your page impression and the probability of ad clicks. 
8. Write quality content
Not everyone possesses a natural talent in writing, and I can say for sure that I don’t.  However, if you offer something useful, interesting, and put your heart into writing, your readers will enjoy what you have to say.  And they will be coming back for more. 

Organization

9. A good organizer is the winner
With Google Adsense, you can organize your ads and have a clear idea about their performance by using Channels.  This way, if a particular ad is not performing well, you could always replace it with a difference one.  There are quite a few things you could do with Channels and this is just one of them. 
10. Monitor your statistics
Checking both your website and Adsense statistics enables you to get better ideas about your audiences.  From your website statistics, you can find out which pages are being viewed the most, where most of your traffics come from, what the peak day of the week is, etc.  Similarly, Adsense statistics will tell you which ad formats are being clicked the most, how many page impressions you receive, how much you are making each day/week/month, etc.  You can then make improvements based on these figures to maximize the performance. 

Traffics

11.  Link Building
No matter how good your website is and how relevant your Adsense ads are, without a decent amount of traffics, you will only be making a small amount of revenue, if any.  It is not easy to achieve a decent amount of traffics, but it is not impossible.  Some of the most common ways to gain traffics to your website include Link exchange, Directory listing, participating in online communities and making use of social bookmaking systems.    
12.  Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the most successful and recommended methods of gaining traffics to your website and it is more than just a buzz word.  Optimizing your websites for search engines increases your website visibility and ranking, which in turn generates significant amounts of targeted and relevant traffics to your website.  Combined, search sites reach more than 130 million Americans or approximately 85 percent of all Internet users each month, ranking Search/Navigation among the most popular categories on the Web. (Source: comScore Media Metrix) 

Miscellaneous

13. A little maintenance goes a long way
Many people tend to overlook the maintenance part of the website.  In this case, rather than sticking to the same ad formats, or the same positioning of the ads, try experiment with different formats and positioning.  If they do not work, you could always revert the changes.  But if they do, that’s a bonus for you. 
14. Do not click on your own ads
Honesty is the best policy.  Be honest with yourself, and do not try to increase your Adsense revenue by clicking on your own ads.  Google is really strict when it comes to fraud clicking, and before you knew it, your account could be banned and you could be owing some money to the advertisers. 
15. When in doubt, ask
If you have some questions in mind, or are unclear about certain stuffs, don’t hesitate to ask the Google Adsense Help Team.  Before asking them, though, you could do them a favor by checking out their Frequently Asked Questions and Answers page.
I hope you will find the above tips and tricks useful in improving your website to increase your Adsense revenue.  While it is always good to earn some cash from your website, do not let it rule you or your website.  And remember that no money is easy money and it takes a considerable amount of time, effort and dedication before one could see a marked improvement in his Adsense revenue.

MAKING MONEY WITH ADSENSE – TIPS

Tip #1: Start now!

It’s as easy as falling off a log to generating revenue with Google AdSense. After you’re accepted to the program, just add a few lines of html code to your site (Google shows you how once you’re accepted) – and voila!

Within a few minutes, your site will begin displaying Adsense, and so you can start making money. Each day you wait means you don’t make the bucks you could. So start now.

Tip #2: Make content pages for your site – and put Adsense on them.

Assuming your page is a decent one, the more pages you have displaying Adsense, the more money you’ll earn. If you already have a website, display Adsense on more pages.

And always, always, always focus on making more great content pages. I suggest that you budget time each week for creating pages (and sites) on topics you love. You’ll find more on creating AdSense content pages in Tip
#8.

And it’s especially good if these content pages are very clearly focused. Then, Google will be able to serve highly relevant Adsense to your users. This means your visitors will be more interested in the ads, which results in higher click through rates — and more money for you!

Tip #3: Whenever you can, use higher paying keywords.

Obviously, you’ll earn more if the average AdWord that Google displays pays more per click.

The question is: how do you get Google to display higher paying keywords?

Well, for one thing, don’t get greedy and create pages on unrelated keywords just because they pay more. In other words, don’t create a page on ‘cell phone plans’ on your motorcycle tire site just because ‘cell phone plans’ pays more than ‘motorcycle tires.’

How to find out which keywords pay best? If you’re a Google AdWords advertiser, you can log into your AdWords account and experiment.

If you’re not an AdWords advertiser, use a free tool at the pay-per-click search engine, Overture.

Overture’s tool lets you see what advertisers are paying on Overture for each keyword. Sure, Overture and Google don’t pay the same. But they’re not all that different, and this tool can give you a general idea of which keywords will pay more than others.

(Also, don’t’ forget Google’s commission, so you have to allow for their cut on the amount an advertiser pays for each click.)

Tip #4: You want to make new pages with higher paying keywords (while keeping it real and relevant).

Sometimes, selecting different keywords on the same topic can really make a difference in earnings.

Pretend you have a gardening site and you want to create some new pages.

By carefully selecting which topics to focus on first, you can dramatically increase your income.

With the Overture tool mentioned above, you can find out that ‘water gardening’ currently has a maximum price of $0.50, while ‘gardening zone’ is only $0.05. That means you can earn 10 times more by creating a page on ‘water gardening’ than ‘gardening zones’! Which one to choose… yeah, that’s tough!

What you want to do is use information to decide which relevant keywords to focus on as you go through the process of making new pages for your site.

Tip #5: Build a new site on high paying keywords.

This is one of my most lucrative pieces of advice: create a brand new site to take advantage of Google AdSense by deliberately selecting a topic with high paying keywords.

Then, of course, you deliver dynamite content on that topic.

But how do you know what the highest paying keywords are?

Another tool you can use comes from pay-per-click search engine, 7Search. 7Search has a page on the 100 highest paying keywords. Unfortunately, it’s not perfect. The tool often ‘times out’ and gives you an error when you try to access the page. My best advice is just be patient and try several times to get this list—it’s worth it.

Tip #6: Pull in qualified traffic to your site.

Basic marketing 101 says if you get more qualified visitors to your site, more people will naturally click on the displayed Adsense, and you’ll earn more.

Tip #7: Think about segmenting your sites: making some pages for high search engine traffic, other pages to sell products, and still other pages just for Google AdSense.

To implement this, you’ll need to recognize that different pages on your site can have different purposes. You may have pages designed to sell specific products. Others may be designed to rank high in the search engines (but don’t ever try to trick the search engines). Still others can be designed for Google AdSense.

Now, once you know which pages you’re creating for AdSense, your job is simple; select an appropriate keyword (or key phrase).

Then you’ll use that keyword as the file name and put dashes between the words. In the example above, you would use the file name ‘water-gardening.html’ for your water gardening page.

Best case scenario is that you’re able to select keywords that are the highest paying keyword on the topic. By tweaking the file name, you may be able to improve your AdSense results dramatically.

Tip #8: Knock yourself out to make high quality information pages.

The ideal Google AdSense page should have great content about a very specific topic. Take pains to be very clear about what the topic is, and carefully choose the keyword (or key phrase) describing the topic. Users don’t like vague pages that don’t make it very clear what the page is all about.

Don’t even think about trying to ‘trick’ AdSense. (I talked about that earlier, remember? They have penalties, including getting kicked out.) Don’t create a page on one topic and give it a file name about a different topic—that’s too confusing.

In a nutshell, you want to make sure the page you create offers great value to people interested in the topic. When you provide excellent information on a specific topic, your visitors will benefit and will be more likely to click through to relevant Adsense.

Tip #9: Select vertical Adsense format.

Everyone’s seen way too many horizontal banner ads up top. Thus, Google recommends you choose the vertical – not horizontal – format to display your Adsense. I agree. People have become “banner blind” to a horizontal format. Plus, Google has “trained” us to click on relevant text ads on their own site and they use the vertical format.

Tip #10: Make sure you display Adsense prominently.

It’s to your financial advantage to put the Adsense near the top of your page on the right. Make sure there is enough “breathing room” – i.e. white space around the ads – so that they will easily attract your visitors.

Tip #11: Just don’t do it–don’t cheat.

I know it’s tempting, because it seems so easy and it’s just sitting there waiting for you to do it, but do not click on the Adsense displayed on your own site to increase your revenue. Google (rightfully) frowns on this.

Plus, Google has some of the smartest engineers around, and they are very good at detecting this kind of fraud. And really, for an extra $1, is it worth getting kicked out of a money-maker like AdSense? I think not…
