Your Privacy is at Risk! Normal Data Deletion on Computers, Phones, etc may Not be Enough!

2009-08-15T09:28:00.000-07:00

Do you have private Photos and Videos in your Phone or Computer which you don’t wish to share to others? or Have you taken a private video/photo and deleted it, thinking it will be safe from leakage? Well, deleting a file using your device’s normal deletion process will not delete it forever. Yes, that is right, traces of that file will still remain in your memory device and it can be used to restore/recover the original file. A lot of people had suffered from this security leak, even famous personalities, wherein they had their phones or laptop repaired not knowing the dangers ahead. Next thing they know, their privacy has already been invaded. In this post, I will show you how vulnerable your privacy is, and how to protect it.

I made an experiment on this which will prove how vulnerable we all are from privacy intrusion. First I created a small Video file using my Phone’s built-in video camera and then deleted it right after saving. I then took out the memory card and open it with my computer. Normally, the file was not there. I then used the program GetDataBack and looked deep into my memory card. After 5 minutes of scanning the memory device, the deleted file was detected and was already fully recoverable in just a few clicks.

The Solution:

Below are free utilities and software applications that will securely delete your protected data. It is not a complete list however it provides you enough tools to use on different situations.

Why You Shouldn’t Upgrade To Wordpress 2.8+

2009-08-15T06:56:00.000-07:00

Every Wordpress user knows how important it is to update a blog to the latest version of Wordpress to avoid being hacked by some authorised users. However, if you are using the following plugins, I would advise you to stick with it until a stable version of Wordpress is release in the future because of the following glitches :

1. Slow Speed When Creating Sitemap

It took 16 seconds to create a sitemap using the Google XML sitemap plugin. Unless Wordpress 2.6, it only requires 5 seconds to notify Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.

2. Couldn’t Upload Image Using Flash Uploader

I can only upload images using browser uploader. Not sure if anyone is facing the problem though.

3. WP emoticons showed up in comments section

Why would they show up above my comments when they are supposed to be in the new post section??

If you have not upgrade to Wordpress 2.8.2 please be patient and wait until further release of Wordpress. You will be better off with the one that you are using right now.

5 mistakes which could stop the progress of your blog

2009-08-09T09:12:00.000-07:00

In blogosphere, almost every blogger claims to have thousands of subscribers, getting lots of traffic and is making big money with his blog but that is right now common all around and has nothing wrong. But the problem arises after sometime when you are telling the fake statistics and you know it’s not going to help you anymore and you need the real thing.

Blogging looks more easy when it has real support of our fans, that is why we should try to avoid some common mistakes, which no doubt can stop the progress of a blog.

Mistake 1 – Worrying about earnings than our Readers
It is very clear than in order for our blog to function properly, we must have some money so that the cost of maintaining a blog can be taken care. But here we have to keep in mind that we are making money with our blog through the web users i.e the readers. I think we should really place ads on our blog for profitability but we must maintain a degree of respect for our readers. We should not treat them as a “Money Making System”.

Mistake 2 – Unconcerned of our blog
Considering that we have blog, we must know that it must be maintained, updated regularly and should correspond to the readers comments. Like first measurement we should answer all the questions,complaints or suggestion that appears from our readers side. Secondly we should take care that we are updating the blog content on regular basis plus also taking a little bit care of our blog design.

Mistake 3 – Not Linking and not getting Linked
For a blog to be known properly in the blogosphere it is important for that blog that it’s articles are linked from other blogs. Moreover a blogger should also consider himself linking other blogs as a part of marketing tactics. This way he can increase the readership on his blog plus he can also increase connections with other bloggers.

“Without connections, a blog practically can not progress.”

Mistake 4 – Wasting time for no reason
If the time you are getting for blogging is not limited then it’s no problem. But bloggers like me who have limited time for blogging should not waste time in stupid things, and the time we get for improving our blog should be considered worth gold. The time we get should be properly utilized in many things like improving the content we are going to provide, try to find different ways to build backlinks and do the best possible things to attract quality traffic to our blog. Wasting time is one of main reason why a blogger doesn’t succeeds. Our blog will improve very less if we don’t manage and utilize the time for blogging properly.

Mistake 5 – Not Participating in other Blogs or Forums
As mentioned earlier in this post; Time is worth Gold. That is why we must manage out time not only for our blog but also to take part in the conversation in different blogs. If you are going to comment, make sure it is not a spam, nor poor, nor by any nature destructive i.e. our comments must be constructive and should possess some degree of kindness, respect and should be helpful or informative for others.

Undoubtedly, all of us might have committed that mistake anytime from the growth of our blog. We must ensure that these mistakes should not happen again and again as it will stop the Progress of your blog.

So go on, think carefully on this article and tell me whether you have done any mistake ever in your blogging journey which could have possibly slowed down the progress of your blog and also do lemme know, what do your think about this article.

Make Money using Google Adwords and Clickbank

2009-08-09T09:08:00.000-07:00

Out of the different ways to make money online, the most popular one is affiliate marketing. It involves promoting and selling different products for which you are an affiliate. There are hundreds of affiliate networks available. Of these, the most popular network is Clickbank. Clickbank is the largest market place for digital products like e books and electronic services like web hosting. There are both publishers and affiliates.

Publishers are those who have there own products to be promoted by the affiliates. Affiliates are the ones who promote the publishers' products and earn commission on each sale. Different techniques may be used to promote the affiliate products. Out of these, 'Pay Per Click' advertising like Google Adwords is the most effective one as it can deliver immediate results. A combination of Google Adwords and Clickbank may be used to build a successful online business.

Signing up with Clickbank as an affiliate is easy and takes only a few minutes. After signing up, go to the 'Clickbank Marketplace' where there are thousands of products which you can promote as an affiliate. The products are ranked according to a system which takes into account the conversion rates and similar other factors. Look for products which have high demand in the market and offer good commissions. After you select your product, get the affiliate link which you have to promote. When people click on this link, they will be taken to the product's home page and if they make any purchase from there, you earn a commission, which is generally a percentage of the price of the product.

There are different ways to promote your affiliate link. The most popular way is to use 'Pay Per Click' advertising like Google Adwords. Before you start using Adwords, you have to open an account with it. You will also need a credit card. While writing the ad text, you must follow the editorial guidelines of Google. You must do some keyword research to find out the relevant keywords which can attract some traffic from the search engines. These keywords should be used in your ads. After you submit your ad, it has to go through a review process before it goes live. While using Adwords, the best thing is to start small. Spend a small amount each day to find out which ad brings the best returns. Monitor the results and continue with the successful ads. Start small and work your way up slowly to success.

Ways to Drive Traffic to a Blog

2009-08-09T09:04:00.000-07:00

As the phrase ‘make money online’ becoming more popular now days, there are a lot opportunities available on the net for public to join. Many people get caught with the phrase because they always thought it is easy as it sound but the true is not. A lot of work and effort must be done before you can get what you are looking for.

Anyway, the simple and basic strategic for every business is to bring as many customers as we can because no matter how good is our product without customer it is nothing. In this case traffics are our main objective. I am not going to talk about SEO or how to be on the first page of organic search but I am going to discuss about how to bring in traffics to your blog using tools other than the organic search. There a many ways but below are a few that I feel most popular and effective way that will generate traffics to your blog.

Pay per click
This is an Internet advertising program that applies on search engines, advertising networks, and content sites, such as blogs or website, in which advertisers pay only when their ad is clicked. With a proper keyword and budget setting, pay per click can be very useful tools to drive traffics and eventually generating money. Example of pay per click advertising program is Google Adwords.

Social networking website
No money needed but yet still manage to drive in a huge amount of traffics to your blog. I have made a quick search on one largest and most popular social networking website Facebook and have found there are more than 20 million people in United Kingdom have sign up for Facebook.

Tell a friend
Don’t forget that by sending a marketing email is also a good way to promote your blog. Tell a friend is a tool that will allow your visitors to promote your blog on your behalf. If the contents of your blog are interesting, useful and informative, people will recommend to others using tell a friend tool and your will see that your blog spreading like a wild fire. Socialtwist is a good example of tell a friend

Actually there are many more ways to generate traffics other than be on the first page of an organic search. Eager to be on the first page sometime make people forgot about other opportunities to generate traffics.

How to Start an Internet Business

2009-08-09T09:01:00.000-07:00

Starting an internet business may sound simple and easy, but it's not exactly like that. It takes a lot of time and effort to succeed and get to that "flowing" mode. If you're thinking about starting an internet business, you'll have to do several things in order to lay a healthy base, which is crucial in the development process of your business.

1. Find your niche

There is a million of niches, and it's not just that simple to choose one of them. You'll have to do some analysis before you pick your niche. Basically, it's the best to choose a niche that you're interested in, so it doesn't get boring for you. Ideally, it's the best to find a niche that interests you and that is profitable. Analyze your competition and see if you'll be up to competing with them.

2. Analyze the market

It's of huge importance to analyze the market thoroughly before getting into this venture. You have to check other sites in that market, you have to check the supply and demand, you have to check what approach will work the best.

3. Great domain name

Don't settle for any domain name. Go for, if not the best, then one of the best in that niche. Ideally, you will choose a dot com, with your keyword(s) in it. Don't choose a domain name with too many dashes, because search engines don't like that. Choose a domain name that is short, brandable, easy to remember and contains your keywords.

4. Cool design

If you're not a designer, hire a designer to design your website. It's really worth it. A website with a great design will be much more pleasing for the eyes of your visitors, thus making them to remember your site and they may even come back.

5. Clean code

If you're not a coder, hire a coder to code your design. Demand valid XHTML/CSS and compatibility with all browsers. That way you'll be safe, both with your visitors and search engines.

6. Invest in content

Content is king, they say. And it's really true... The more content you have, the better your site will look in the eyes of the search engines. Add more and more content each day and you will have no worries.

7. Invest in advertising

Don't think that you don't need to spend money on advertising and link building, because you have to. You have to let everyone know that your site is alive and online, and awaiting visitors.

Note that you will not earn money in the beginning, but if you keep on working, you will get there. Just have patience!

3 Important Reminders Before Choosing a Niche

2009-08-09T08:58:00.000-07:00

Websites are now commonly becoming the fundamental stones to making a living online, however, choosing a niche can be rather difficult when starting out your first web page. However, here, I have listed simple informative reminders that you can easily follow step by step to first and lastly, discover a niche that you can both financially benefit wallet wise and be interested to write about it as well. Choosing a niche should be your core decision and not some random Google AdSense keyword that is telling you otherwise.

1) Like What You Write

Simply, "like what you write" is a simple phrase that I tell most website owners and Bloggers to follow because if your not all that passionate about your niche, your most likely to fail before even starting! Writing shouldn't be labor, but rather something you enjoy sharing to the world and be able to make money off it. Don't let keyword tools put you down. If you like to write about dating or romance, good stick with it because in the end, you can be making more with the niche you like than writing about house loans, lawyers, all that boring stuff. I'll show you how.

2) Do it For Your Readers

At first your first objective maybe to create a web page to make money with sales, and affiliates, however, in the end, you will soon realize that your readers is the core of your website. Treat your readers with respective and provide valuable information directed to them, and not shove 50 affiliates in their faces. Build a relationship with them and build trust from the bottom up. You will be making way more money that way, and it creates a nicer reader atmosphere as well.

3) Google Adsense Isn't Everything

Most often when you go through famous webmaster forums like Digital Point, you hear people yapping about how much they got for every click because they choose a great niche, such as loans, but in most cases, they don't know a single thing about the topic nor are they very passionate about the niche, and they end up quitting anyhow. In simple words, there are other methods to making money than just Google Adsense. There are plenty of methods for monetizing your website such as affiliate networks, CPM networks, and etc. For instance, dating, there are hundreds of affiliates that are willing to pay up to $10-$30 per referral. Compare that to those puny $1-$2 loan clicks that you only get every other week.

Simply, if you are passionate about what you write, and you are good at what you do, you will be endeavoring to making a new sustainable income with a niche that you are both passionate about, and can provide you another stream of income to fit your financial needs. Online money making is the future, and you can be making an effort now by and choosing a niche that you love writing about and even earn money off it. Just put a little bit of effort to it, and you can be making a sustainable income online in no time.

Common CV bloopers you should avoid

2009-08-09T08:56:00.000-07:00

A study conducted by TeamLease Services, a staffing company, has found that candidates while trying to make their resumes different and impressive only end up making blunders in the process.

TeamLease analysed more than 500 resumes across different levels, job profiles and industries over the month of July 2009 and found that more than 90 per cent of them had errors (grammatical, spelling, typos, etc).

"Candidates today are trying to make their resumes different and impressive, so that they stand out. In the process, they end up making major blunders. It is often funny, but the situation is sad and points to the grim reality of poor resume writing. A badly written resume ends up in the dustbin, completely knocking out the candidate's chance of getting a job," says Surabhi Mathur-Gandhi, general manager, Permanent Staffing, TeamLease Services.

During the course of the survey, these are some of the bloopers that popped up quite often:

~ Areas of Strength: My background to date has been centered on grooming myself as a well-rounded person.

~ Notice Period: Minimum Two (1) Month.

~ Skills: I am Quietly forceful, original and sensitive.

~ Languages Known: English (Good), Malayalam (Native), Hindi and Tamil

~ Career Objective: Seeking a final placement in any organisation to utilise the plethora of skills I have developed during my whole career.

~ Family details: Father -- Death

~ About myself: I laugh easily, but do not suffer fools gladly. I expect the same effort from others as I give myself.

~ Objective: To consistently develop by learning and sharing skills with a focus on the ultimate objective in order to achieve higher goals in conjunction with the growth of the organisation and to set a name and be recognised in the industry.

~ Profile: To prepare the whole film production plane and financing plane.

~ Film Production: Hindi Future Film "Aapka Saathi", Hindi Future Film "Yeh Kaynath"

~ Weakness: Fresher

~ Interests: Open to learn, make others laugh & feel happy, enjoys the nature.

~ Call support executive: My key role is to handle customer queries. I have extensive experience in solving capabilities and have the ability to satisfy client.

~ Biography: Marital Status - Yes

~ Summary: I have lazy guy i wont wake up early in the morning in call centre means there will be shifts i will be thinking abt work only more i can wake up soon i like to work in night shits more

~ Pubic Relations with various people for the project like the consultants and the society members

~ Sailing the computer's accessories of different company

~ Address: Near Majjas Bust stand, Kalpataru estate, Andheri East, Mumbai [ Images ]

~ To always spread positively within the branch and reduce the grape vine.

~ Follow full cycle -- identify and partner with the client, secure a job opportunity then source the appropriate talent pool, massage the interview process through hiring negotiations and close the project including final payment collection

~ Marital Status: Marriage

The study was conducted on various resumes received from different cities, across industries and levels. It was observed that resumes are being written in great haste and little or no attention is paid to detail. Also, candidates, in an attempt to impress, are going overboard.

The study goes on to state that many candidates do not realise that a poorly written resume is severely affecting their job prospects, as companies generally do not share the reasons behind rejection.

"Proper assessment, skilling, training and grooming are the need of the hour. Candidates need to be made 'job ready' and training to present themselves better through verbal and non-verbal communication will go a long way in shaping their career," says Surabhi.

Ideas to make money in spare time

2009-08-02T01:12:00.000-07:00

The writer

If writing is something that comes naturally to you, why not take it up professionally?

You could be an expert writer in your professional domain. Say you are an interior designer. You could approach interior design magazines, web sites or publications which would be more than happy to publish your thoughts and advice.

Newspaper, magazines and web sites would welcome good quality experts to be on their panel.

What you need to do: Send them a sample writeup. If it is good or, better still, impressive, they will lap you up.

You could easily earn Rs 500 to Rs 2,500 per article, depending on your writing style, experience, knowledge and the publication.

How much should you invest?

2009-08-02T01:07:00.000-07:00

THERE are some word pairs that go hand in hand. When you say one you cant help but think of the other - eg. chicken and egg, carrot and stick, marriage and love, beach and sun and so on. When it comes to investment, the only word that pops up is return.

No doubt, everyone invests for returns. That magic figure governs the fate of all investment products. The logic in people's minds is simple: The better the returns, the more money you will end up with.

But it's not that simple in reality. Returns are not the sole deciding factor of how much money you are going to make from your investments. Two more factors determine how much money you will end up with:

a. The amount you put into your savings and investments

b. The amount of time you keep it there.

These two factors will have a greater impact on how much money you will end up with, rather than mundane things such as investment returns.

Have a play on the calculators elsewhere on this site. Put with your own numbers and you'll quickly arrive at the number you should be doing.

Here's an example:

a. Let us suppose you need to cobble together Rs 5 crore over 40 years. With an investment return of 12 per cent per year you realise that you have to save a paltry Rs 3,980 per month.

b. If you deduct ten years from this horizon the figure automatically changes to a difficult Rs 14,000 savings per month - over three times the monthly amount today, although you have only taken 25% off from your time period.

c. Now you argue: What if you aim for a higher investment return? Surely then you can amass Rs 5 crore even in 20 years! You would need a fantastic return of 21% per year to turn Rs 14,000 into Rs 5 crore in 20 years.

Is that realistic? Consider this:

The stock market today is perhaps the only way you can reach your goal since it can give anywhere between 12% to 44%, depending on time period and how enterprising your fund adviser is.

Now, the charges of investing vary between 1% per annum to 2.5%, depending on the nature of fund management. So any expectation number you hear above 16% is almost a fraud if suggested by your advisor and foolish thinking if you expect it.

And in fact for an efficient indexing strategy, you should use a figure of 9 per cent to 15%. So, that 12% I was using is, if anything, fairly ambitious. It would certainly be easier to argue for a figure of 9% per year than 12% per year.

And hold on! Taking into account inflation and taxation, from gifts and cash which is generally quoted as a little below 2 per cent, So, you are now left with a paltry 10% return!

So now plug in the numbers!

You now have an investment return to aim for, an amount of money that you need to reach and if you put in a realistic guess at how many years you have till retirement – hey presto! The calculator will tell you how much you need to save.

But remember:

i. It is important to know that these calculations only tell you what to do, given certain assumptions. These are guesses at best and change regularly.

ii. You may find articles on the web saying 'static calculators are wrong, you should be using dynamic calculators'. It does not matter.

iii. This is good enough to make a start. The investment return you get might be different from what was predicted, and the date of your retirement might get closer or further away.

iv. Most important, since you are saving money in today's world, you have to keep increasing the amount you save to take into account inflation and average earnings growth.

Making Money from Blogging: Four Magic Steps to Succeed

2009-05-13T12:52:00.000-07:00

It’s not a secret that you can make money online just by writing words (preferably in sentences) to a base of readers. In fact, I am doing it right now, you can do it right now - everyone can do it with a little dedication. This little article will help you to gain revenue by blogging. We’ll focus more on how to work in your niche, your place in the blogosphere and the things you ought to consider when starting a blog, rather than the technical process itself - the techniques are easier to get into. We won’t be teaching easy stuff here.

The following tips should get you on the right track when you blog.

B) Be your niche.
Will you be it? Whether you become the best blogger in the world on fishing, cycling or fitness is entirely up to you. But the question is: will you keep up on your niche? Will you yourself become a fit person while writing a blog on fitness? You should.

L) Live with other bloggers of your niche.
If you want to succeed, you need to be open enough to at least link other, more known bloggers of your niche, if not quote them and write opinions on their articles and knowledge. Just get into your niche, work for some time and others will at least reciprocate your links.

O) Operational costs.
If you don’t make up enough for the hosting and monthly advertising costs for your blog in three months of blogging, maybe it just isn’t working out. If you make up operational costs, it clearly shows that you are on the right track and you’re on your way to profits.

G) Gain authority.
The best way to succeed in blogging is to become an authority. If you are in your niche and you’re slowly getting better, you are gaining authority. From authority comes responsibility, and if you live up to it, great things will happen.

This about sums it up - remember that the best way to make money from your blog is… blogging. Worthy content will attract more readers than a SEO campaign. Tweaks for your blog are good; just don’t get caught up in them.
The readers are also more likely to come back if your content caught their eye. Keep an eye on this and you’ll be successful in no time.

Why most People Fail at Making Money from Blogs?

2009-05-13T12:48:00.000-07:00

Everyone loves making money. Some people love blogging but only few of them are making money from it.

Most of the newcomers to blogging want the “magic pill”. They ask: ‘Tell me how to make money blogging’, but what they are really asking is this: ‘Tell me how to make money from blogging really fast with little to no effort put in it’. Doesn’t that sound unrealistic? But that’s the way most people think in our society.

Blogging is a steady growing process, a steady growing skill. The golden-profit era from AdSense is long gone, there is lots of competition in virtually any niche and there are hundreds of people who copy your content and get away with it; even make money from it. Face it - chances of you earning money from a blog are quite slim if you don’t want to invest your time in it.

It’s not your fault that you want instant gratification, instant profits and instant talent in writing. It’s our modern society on its finest – stimulation without any investment other than money; stimulation that comes easy and with little thought applied, these are things people seek for, these are the things that the people are taught to seek for. People were taught that it’s the way stuff works since the time when they were still lying in their cradles and wondering about the color of the ceiling!

Humans in our capitalism society are taught that you can and should receive instant stimulation right away; there is no need for long-term actions, for long-term thinking and changes. Take a look at any popular magazine. What does it offer to its readers? Of course – instant stimulation, instant pleasure – funny pictures, beautiful people, landscapes and other things that don’t require much thought.

The way it relates to blogging is simple – most of the bloggers I know aren’t willing to work hard to succeed. They’re not lazy. They just were taught from birth that they don’t need to apply much work to achieve their goals. That’s what’s sickening about our society – no one thinks ahead. But you should. That’s the way it works. You go out there, find a niche, write on it, attract readers and only then you gain considerable revenues. The time it takes for your blog to stand out may vary, don’t expect results right away, but you’ll see slow, gradual progress, which is exactly what blogging is about.

Is It Time To Quit Your Job

2009-05-13T12:44:00.000-07:00

One of the main reasons why an individual is unsuccessful in their job is the fact that they do not like their work. If you don’t enjoy what you are doing you are much less likely to put as much commitment, effort and enthusiasm into your work as you would if you liked your job. If you agree with any of the following questions, you may need to consider leaving your job and pursuing the world of online marketing and freelancing. It is relatively easy to earn money from internet, but if you don't love doing that, don't.

1. My job is boring, I just wait for the clock to reach 6pm so I can go home but the day seems to last forever.

When you work at home and start earning online, you don’t need to worry about practicing a 9-6 schedule. You pick the hours you work and when you work them. If you need a break, no one will stop you. You are in complete control.

2. I need more flexible working hours to accommodate my family schedules, but my job is too strict.

You decide how much or how little you work. If you need more money, work extra hours. If you need some time off, simply take it when you need it. Flexibility is a key benefit of working for your self.

3. I keep going from one job to another. None of them seem to satisfy me.

Perhaps regular jobs just aren’t for you? There’s nothing quite like being self employed, it’s both invigorating and provides the ultimate workplace freedom.

4. My salary is far too low, I deserve much more than what I’m being paid.

You set the wage you want to earn, set your rates per hour and work out your business plan. Then work to it as much or as little as you like. This means your earnings are almost limitless; all the money just goes directly to you.

5. My boss doesn’t know what he/she is doing; I wish I could be my own boss.

You can, start earning money online today and become your own boss.

6. I hate having to grab holiday’s a year in advance or fight with other co-workers over a day off. I wish I could just go on holiday whenever I needed or wanted to.

As your own boss you don’t need to ask permission to book a holiday. If you need time off, take it off. It’s up to you when you work.

7. I’m much happier when I’m working online on my computer; I wish I could use that to make money!

Making money online is easy and fun with a little time and effort on your part. If your favorite hobby is computers, you’ll have no problems at all making money.

8. My commuting time is ridiculous and costs me a fortune. I wish I didn’t have to travel to work.

You don’t need to go to an office to work online. All you need is a computer and internet access at home and you can eliminate traveling to work altogether. Just roll out of bed in the morning and there you are!

9. I simply can’t do full time work anymore, I need a part time job that’s flexible.

You don’t have to earn money online full time. You choose your hours and how many of them you do. It’s completely your choice.

10. I’m not happy in my job; I want to do something that really makes me enjoy my working day.

Earning money online can help you to achieve job fulfillment. If you put in enough time and effort overall, your online business can provide you with enough regular income to free up your time and allow you to concentrate on more important and more fun activities. Making money online is easy and fun, once you know how.

What Is PageRank and How Do I Use It?

2009-02-21T22:09:00.000-08:00

PageRank is what Google uses to determine the importance of a web page. It's one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in search results.

The History of PageRank
PageRank was developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford. At the time that Page and Brin met, search engines typically linked to pages that had the highest keyword density, which meant people could game the system by repeating the same phrase over and over to attract higher search page results.
PageRank is patented by Stanford, and the name PageRank likely comes from Larry Page.

What Does PageRank Measure?
PageRank measure's a web page's importance.
Page and Brin's theory is that the most important pages on the Internet are the pages with the most links leading to them. PageRank thinks of links as votes, where a page linking to another page is casting a vote.
This makes sense, because people do tend to link to relevant content, and pages with more links to them are usually better resources than pages that nobody links.
PageRank doesn't stop there. It also looks at the importance of the page that contains the link. Pages with higher PageRank have more weight in "voting" with their links than pages with lower PageRank. It also looks at the number of links on the page casting the "vote." Pages with more links have less weight.
This also makes a certain amount of sense. Pages that are important are probably better authorities in leading web surfers to better sources, and pages that have more links are likely to be less discriminating on where they're linking.

How Important Is PageRank?
PageRank is one of many factors that determines where your web page appears in search result ranking, but if all other factors are equal, PageRank can have significant impact on your Google rankings.
Are There Flaws in PageRank?
There are certainly flaws in PageRank. Now that people know the secrets to obtaining a higher PageRank, the data can be manipulated. Google Bombs are a classic example of PageRank manipulation.
"Link farming" is another method people attempt to use manipulate PageRank. Link farming is the practice of linking without thought of the relevance of the pages being linked, and it is often automated. If you've ever run into a web page that was nothing but a collection of random links to other websites, you may have run into a link farm.
Google has adapted their calculations to filter off possible link farms. This is one reason why submitting your website to directories with low or no PageRank may be a bad idea.
If you find your website linked in a link farm, don't panic. In most cases this has no effect at all on your ranking. You can't control who links to you, anyway. Just don't link back to link farms and don't submit your site to them intentionally.

How Can I See PageRank?
PageRank is measured on a scale of one to ten and assigned to individual pages within a website, not the entire website. To find the PageRank of a page, use Google Toolbar. Very few pages have a PageRank of 10, especially as the number of pages on the Internet increases.
How Can I Increase My PageRank?
If you'd like to increase your PageRank, you need to have "back-links," or other people linking to your website. You can trade links with other people, but make sure you only trade relevant links, and make sure you're not trading links with a link farm. You can register your website with directories, such as the Open Directory Project, but use directories with high PageRank whenever possible.
As you build web pages within your website, you can create some of your own back-links by linking to relevant pages within your own website. This is a technique you may notice on this website. However, remember that the number of links you create counts into the equation. Don't overdo it.
The best way to increase your PageRank is to have quality content that other people want to link.

5 Tips To Grow Search Engine Traffic To Your Blog

2008-12-18T07:00:00.000-08:00

traffic source for many bloggers. Some blogger friends admit that search engines account for 30 - 60 percent of their entire blog traffic.

It is possible and recommended to diversify and avoid relying your business solely on one traffic source — and company, Google. However, search engine traffic converts and if you can get more of them to your site, and assuming everything is the same, you will increase the sales figures and revenue from ads.

The details about how search engine works may be beyond most of us — in search engines don’t reveal their exact algorithm — but the basic is not rocket science at all.

Here are 5 tips to help you grow search engine traffic

1. Know your keywords
Keywords are the building blocks of a blog and web site. Naturally, you should target just one keyword per blog post. Avoid creating content just for the sake of having the keyword on your blog. You should provide valuable content and impress the visitors. Only then will they consider subscribing to your content feed.

You should be thinking about what the visitors do on your site. Optimizing the result from the same amount of traffic is as important, if not more. But, I digress…

2. Optimize your blog design
You will be surprised that many bloggers claim their blog themes or templates as search engine friendly because the themes were advertised as such. Spend some time to check the template to make sure it has the right title tag, order of content, heading tags and so on.

Your time will be well spent. After all, it is most likely a one-time task. It may make a difference between ranking for long tail keywords and not getting found at all.

3. Restructure your site
Theming with silos is a great way to structure and divide your blog content into subtopics. Many SEO experts represent siloing as simple tiered content. They are quite similar in a few points but nevertheless you should thinking about making your content topics obvious to search engines.

Tiered content without proper linking doesn’t help build topic on your site. For instance, you should only link to a silo (or parent) instead of children cross another silo. Good practice avoids diluting the theme of your site or blog.

That can help rankings because once search engines think your blog is related to certain subtopic, you are going to get more long tail keywords for that subtopic.

4. Gain inbound links
There is more than one way to do it, from article marketing to link baiting, blog commenting, forum marketing and so on. When you are just starting out, every little tactic matters to grow your traffic level to a few hundreds a day.

Your aim is to reach more center of influence. Once you are at this level, every new post will result in a few more backlinks to your blog.

5. Patience
As the age of your domain increases, your blog will also be considered more valuable, especially if you keep it active throughout the time.

Search engine optimization doesn’t produce flood of traffic immediately but it is often worth the effort. Giving up too early in the process is one of the biggest reasons why people fail at this.

Another thing to keep in mind is that traffic from organic search grows gradually. As you target more keywords within your content and gain more authority through backlinks, you will only grow your traffic.

You may be surprised that after several years, I still notice growth in traffic to some of my blogs from search engines. It helps if you aim for the long haul and really drill deep in a niche, because that’s what a real business is.

How to get traffic to your Blog with Entrecard

2008-04-27T12:12:00.000-07:00

What is Entrecard? Entrecard is a free exchange network for 125x125 ads. By using the Entrecard platform, you can advertise your own 125x125 Entrecard ad on any blog in the network, for free.

You can see an example of an Entrecard ad by looking at the ad with the gold bar on the bottom in the right side-bar of this blog. This ad belongs to another blogger that chose to advertise on my site. For this privilege, the blogger had to pay me a certain amount of Entrecard credit to advertise. In turn, I can use the credit to place my ad on another person’s blog in the Entrecard network. You can also earn Entrecard credit in others ways, which I’ll explain later. When a person clicks on your ad that sits on another person’s blog, the Entrecard system will re-direct them to your blog. This is how you get traffic.

Entrecard makes it easy to drive traffic to your blog by advertising on other blogger’s site. The best part about Entrecard system is that it’s free to use.

Here are 7 tips on how to successfully use the Entrecard network:

Sign-up and create a custom logo: When you first sign-up for Entrecard, they will ask you to either use a pre-built logo or upload your own. I recommend that you create a customized logo to set yourself apart from the rest of the crowd. If you create an eye-catching logo, you will get people’s attention and subsequent clicks to your website. You can use MS Paint or free resources on the Internet to create a custom logo.

Place the Entrecard Widget near the top of your blog page: The Entrecard widget should be easy to find on your page. Therefore, the best location is near the top of your page. Remember, you’re selling advertising space and you want your fellow bloggers to “drop” their cards on your site. Therefore, your widget should be easy to find. More on “card dropping” below.

Accumulate credits by becoming a “card dropper”: You will receive 1 credit every time you drop your card on sites that have the Entrecard widget. To drop your card, simply click on the “Drop yours” link located at the bottom of the Entrecard widget. This will automatically update your Entrecard account will 1 credit. The best place to find blogs to drop your card is in the Entrecard system. So login, navigate to blogs, then start “dropping” cards. You can start with blogs that interest you but it doesn’t really matter. The point is to accumulate credits so that you can advertise on blogs and get traffic to your site. Try to accumulate about 50 credits before purchasing advertising.

Initially, don’t pay a lot to advertise: So now that you’ve accumulated a lot credits, let’s spend it on advertising. Go to the Campaign page in the Entrecard system then select the “Most Recent” link near the top. Look for sites that are priced between 2 to 5 credits/day that are not full. You want to go cheap to get the most “bang” for your credits. It will be hard to find sites that meet your criteria because other bloggers are looking for them too. Dedicate any where from 30 to 60 minutes of your day to proactively monitor this page. You need to be “Johnny on the spot” to buy ad space from these sites before others. Once you see an eligible site, check it out to make sure that it is suitable for you to advertise. If the site passes, “drop” your card then go back to the Entrecard system to purchase advertising space via the “advertise” link. Repeat these steps until your credits are gone then start the accumulation process again. Monitor your email or Dashboard at Entrecard.com to determine if your purchase as been accepted or rejected. Don’t be offended if a blogger rejects your ad. It happens all the time and the system will automatically refund your credit back to your account. Just spend it on another site.

Monitor your Entrecard Inbox: You will earn 1 credit when another Entrecard user “drops” their card on your site. When this happens, you’ll be notified via your Inbox in the Entrecard system. When you see that someone has “drop” their card on your site, return the favor and “drop” a card on their site. The Entrecard network is also a social-network. This is a good way to make friends with your fellow bloggers.

Reject ads that don’t fit your site: As I mentioned above, you earn credits when someone advertises on your site. However, you can afford to be picky because there is a lot of demand in the network. If an ad is not suitable to be on your site, reject it. Don’t worry about offending the other person. They understand how the system works. You don’t want your blog readers to be offended by an ad on your site.

Write recommendations: Every Entrecard user’s detail page in the system includes a link to write a recommendation about them. Find several blogs you like then write a recommendation. The majority of the time they will return the favor. Again, the Entrecard system is a social network. Its great way to make friends and increase your exposure.

In summary, the Entrecard network is a good way to increase traffic to your blog or website for free. The “quality” of the traffic may be debatable at times. But, in the end, traffic is traffic.

Here’s a link to the Entrecard User Guide if you need more information about how to get started with the Entrecard network. You can also watch the video on their home page.

Please try these tips then come back and leave a comment about what worked and what did not work. You’ll probably modify the tips above as you gain experience with using the network. All comments are welcome.

Adsense for Mobiles.

2008-04-27T12:06:00.000-07:00

Google has now developed ad software for mobile phones. It will start selling ads on websites or blogs that are designed for mobile devices. Website and blog owners will now be able to have Google ads that are fit to be viewed when accessed from a mobile device.
But in order to use AdSense for mobile, you should have a mobile-compliant webpage. By adding AdSense for mobile ad code to a standard webpage will not display ads at all.
You can create mobile-compliant webpage by rewriting your existing website in a mobile markup language, such as XHTML, WML, or CHTML. The most important thing is that you should take care of the layout. It must be properly formatted to display on mobile phones.
Develop your mobile website using server-side scripting such as PHP or ASP. You can then paste the PHP code snippet into the section of the page where you want the AdSense for mobile ads to appear.
At any point of time Google will not be able to assist you with creating a mobile website. However, you may find resources and tutorials on the web that could help you in creating a mobile site. Do a Google search for terms such as "create mobile website" or "make mobile webpage". You will definitely get many tutorials.

Once you've created a mobile webpage that complies with Google’s program policies, you're able to add Google ads to it!

To use adsense mobile, log-in to AdSense and switch to AdSense Setup > AdSense for Mobile.
Once you’ve chosen your ad format (single or double, text-link only at the moment) and colors, and specify your document format – “wml (WAP 1.x)”, “xhtml (WAP 2.0)”, or “chtml” – you will be provided with a code snippet to insert into your pages.

2008-03-19T13:08:00.000-07:00

Adsense, Yahoo, Chitika and other ads are not permitted to be added by users. Adverts that may be inserted when using an external blogging program will be blocked.

10 golden rules to become rich!

2008-02-27T06:14:00.000-08:00

Once you decide to put your money to work to build long-term wealth, you have to decide, not whether to take risk, but what kind of risk you wish to take. Here are 10 investing rules that can make you rich:

1. There's no escaping risk
Once you decide to put your money to work to build long-term wealth, you have to decide, not whether to take risk, but what kind of risk you wish to take.

Yes, money in a savings account is dollar-safe, but those safe dollars are apt to be substantially eroded by inflation, a risk that almost guarantees you will fail to reach your wealth goals.

And yes, money in the stock market is very risky over the short-term, but, if well-diversified, should provide remarkable growth with a high degree of consistency over the long term.

2. Buy right and hold tight
The most critical decision you face is arriving at the proper allocation of assets in your investment portfolio -- stocks for growth of capital and growth of income, bonds for conservation of capital and current income.

Once you get your balance right, then just hold tight, no matter how high a greedy stock market flies, nor how low a frightened market plunges. Change the allocation only as your investment profile changes. Begin by considering a 50/50 stock/bond-cash balance, then raise the stock allocation if:

>You have many years remaining to accumulate wealth.
>The amount of capital you have at stake is modest.
>You don't have much need for current income from your investments.
>You have the courage to ride out the stock market booms and busts with reasonable equanimity.
As these factors are reversed, reduce the 50 per cent stock allocation accordingly.

3. Time is your friend, impulse your enemy
Think long term, and don't allow transitory changes in stock prices to alter your investment program. There is a lot of noise in the daily volatility of the stock market, which too often is 'a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'.

Stocks may remain overvalued, or undervalued, for years. Realize that one of the greatest sins of investing is to be captured by the siren song of the market, luring you into buying stocks when they are soaring and selling when they are plunging.

Impulse is your enemy. Why? Because market timing is impossible. Even if you turn out to be right when you sold stocks just before a decline (a rare occurrence!), where on earth would you ever get the insight that tells you the right time to get back in? One correct decision is tough enough. Two correct decisions are nigh on impossible.

Time is your friend. If, over the next 25 years, stocks produce a 10% return and a savings account produces a 5% return, $10,000 would grow to $108,000 in stocks vs. $34,000 in savings. (After 3% inflation, $54,000 vs $16,000). Give yourself all the time you can.

4. Realistic expectations: the bagel and the doughnut
These two different kinds of baked goods symbolize the two distinctively different elements of stock market returns.

It is hardly farfetched to consider that investment return -- dividend yields and earnings growth -- is the bagel of the stock market, for the investment return on stocks reflects their underlying character: nutritious, crusty and hard-boiled.

By the same token, speculative return -- wrought by any change in the price that investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings -- is the spongy doughnut of the market, reflecting changing public opinion about stock valuations, from the soft sweetness of optimism to the acid sourness of pessimism.

The substantive bagel-like economics of investing are almost inevitably productive, but the flaky, doughnut-like emotions of investors are anything but steady -- sometimes productive, sometimes counterproductive.

In the long run, it is investment return that rules the day. In the past 40 years, the speculative return on US stocks has been zero, with the annual investment return of 11.2% precisely equal to the stock market's total return of 11.2% per year.

But in the first 20 of those years, investors were sour on the economy's prospects, and a tumbling price-earnings ratio provided a speculative return of minus 4.6% per year, reducing the nutritious annual investment return of 12.1% to a market return of just 7.5%. From 1981 to 2001, however, the outlook sweetened, and a soaring P/E ratio produced a sugary 5% speculative boost to the investment return of 10.3%.

Result: The market return leaped to 15.3% -- double the return of the prior two decades.

The lesson: Enjoy the bagel's healthy nutrients, and don't count on the doughnut's sweetness to enhance them.

5. Why look for the needle in the haystack? Buy the haystack!
Experience confirms that buying the right stocks, betting on the right investment style, and picking the right money manager -- in each case, in advance -- is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Investing in equities entails four risks: stock risk, style risk, manager risk, and market risk. The first three of these risks can easily be eliminated, simply by owning the entire stock market -- owning the haystack, as it were -- and holding it forever.

Owning the entire stock market is the ultimate diversifier. If you can't find the needle, buy the haystack.

6. Minimize the croupier's take
The resemblance of the stock market to the casino is not far-fetched. Yes, the stock market is a positive-sum game and the gambling casino is a zero-sum game . . . but only before the costs of playing each game are deducted. After the heavy costs of financial intermediaries (commissions, management fees, taxes, etc.) are deducted, beating the stock market is inevitably a loser's game. Just as, after the croupiers' wide rake descends, beating the casino is inevitably a loser's game. All investors as a group must earn the market's return before costs, and lose to the market after costs, and by the exact amount of those costs.

Your greatest chance of earning the market's return, therefore, is to reduce the croupiers' take to the bare-bones minimum. When you read about stock market returns, realize that the financial markets are not for sale, except at a high price.

The difference is crucial. If the market's return is 10% before costs, and intermediation costs are approximately 2%, then investors earn 8%. Compounded over 50 years, 8% takes $10,000 to $469,000. But at 10%, the final value leaps to $1,170,000 -- nearly three times as much . . . just by eliminating the croupier's take.

7. Beware of fighting the last war
Too many investors -- individuals and institutions alike -- are constantly making investment decisions based on the lessons of the recent, or even the extended, past. They seek technology stocks after they have emerged victorious from the last war; they worry about inflation after it becomes the accepted bogeyman, they buy bonds after the stock market has plunged.

You should not ignore the past, but neither should you assume that a particular cyclical trend will last forever. None does. Just because some investors insist on 'fighting the last war,' you don't need to do so yourself. It doesn't work for very long.

8. Sir Isaac Newton's revenge on Wall Street -- return to the mean
Through all history, investments have been subject to a sort of law of gravity: What goes up must go down, and, oddly enough, what goes down must go up. Not always of course (companies that die rarely live again), and not necessarily in the absolute sense, but relative to the overall market norm.

For example, stock market returns that substantially exceed the investment returns generated by earnings and dividends during one period tend to revert and fall well short of that norm during the next period. Like a pendulum, stock prices swing far above their underlying values, only to swing back to fair value and then far below it.

Another example: From the start of 1997 through March 2000, Nasdaq stocks (+230%) soared past NYSE-listed stocks (+20%), only to come to a screeching halt. During the subsequent year, Nasdaq stocks lost 67% of their value, while NYSE stocks lost just 7%, reverting to the original market value relationship (about one to five) between the so-called 'new economy' and the 'old economy.'

Reversion to the mean is found everywhere in the financial jungle, for the mean is a powerful magnet that, in the long run, finally draws everything back to it.

9. The hedgehog bests the fox
The Greek philosopher Archilochus tells us, 'The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one great thing.' The fox -- artful, sly, and astute -- represents the financial institution that knows many things about complex markets and sophisticated marketing.

The hedgehog -- whose sharp spines give it almost impregnable armour when it curls into a ball -- is the financial institution that knows only one great thing: long-term investment success is based on simplicity.

The wily foxes of the financial world justify their existence by propagating the notion that an investor can survive only with the benefit of their artful knowledge and expertise. Such assistance, alas, does not come cheap, and the costs it entails tend to consume more value-added performance than even the most cunning of foxes can provide.

Result: The annual returns earned for investors by financial intermediaries such as mutual funds have averaged less than 80% of the stock market's annual return.

The hedgehog, on the other hand, knows that the truly great investment strategy succeeds, not because of its complexity or cleverness, but because of its simplicity and low cost. The hedgehog diversifies broadly, buys and holds, and keeps expenses to the bare-bones minimum.

The ultimate hedgehog: The all-market index fund, operated at minimal cost and with minimal portfolio turnover, virtually guarantees nearly 100% of the market's return to the investor.

In the field of investment management, foxes come and go, but hedgehogs are forever.

10. Stay the course: the secret of investing is that there is no secret
When you consider these previous nine rules, realize that they are about neither magic and legerdemain, nor about forecasting the unforecastable, nor about betting at long and ultimately unsurmountable odds, nor about learning some great secret of successful investing.

In fact, there is no great secret, only the majesty of simplicity. These rules are about elementary arithmetic, about fundamental and unarguable principles, and about that most uncommon of all attributes, common sense.

Owning the entire stock market through an index fund -- all the while balancing your portfolio with an appropriate allocation to an all bond market index fund -- with its cost-efficiency, its tax-efficiency, and its assurance of earning for you the market's return, is by definition a winning strategy.

But if only you follow one final rule for successful investing, perhaps the most important principle of all investment wisdom: Stay the course!

3 Interesting Ideas to Make Money on ebay

2008-02-15T05:53:00.000-08:00

1) Sell Used Cell Phones on ebay
The demands for used cell phones with brand names like Nokia, Motorola, Kyocera, Alltel, Ericsson, Sprint, etc in ebay are pretty high. Many of the used cell phones auctions in ebay usually attract bids.

So how to find used cell phones to profit on ebay?
Many people change their cell phones every year. If you are one of them, probably you already have 2 or 3 used cell phones kept at home that can sell on ebay. Your friends may also keep a few of old phones left unused. You can buy from them and resell on ebay.

To get a consistent supply of cell phones, you may think about placing classified ads in newspaper states that you pay money for used cell phone. You shouldn't pay much when buying used cell phones. Do a little research on ebay to find out how much used cell phones are generally selling. If a used cell phone sell at a price of $50 in ebay, you should pay not more than 30% of the price to buy it. If the phone is a recent model you can pay little more and cut a little if it is old and nothing special.

2) Sell Used How-to Books
Used how-to books are quite easy to find and inexpensive to buy. They can be bought at $1.00 or less. You can buy how-to books from thrift shops, estate sales, used book stores, yard sales, etc and sell them in ebay for high profit margin. You can also get how-to books from Book Sale Finder. Here are the type of books you should look for:

Hobbies
Photography, blacksmithing, clock building & repair, woodworking, magic, treasure hunting, iron work, pipe smoking, dog training, antiques, coins, buttons, medals, drawing, painting, craft making, dolls, pottery, etc.

Home and Garden
Home decorating, home remodelling, garden trellis, etc.

Misc
How to repair (watch repair, door repair, pipe repair), how to play, lost treasure, eary aviation, etc.

When you list your books in ebay, you can either list them in the "Book" category of ebay or in the subject specific category of ebay. For instance, If you are selling a book related to home decorating, you may be making more profit if you list the book under the "Home Deco" within the "Home & Garden" category of ebay campare to listing the book under "Book"

3) Sell Gift Cards
Gift card is another profitable market in ebay. There are many people possess gift cards but not everyone of them will use their gift cards. If you can offer to buy these unused gift cards for a price at 20% or less of the value of the gift certificates, they will sell to you. You can advertise your offer in local newspaper, penny shop and trading post. You are looking for gift cards that are still valid (not yet expire). Most gift cards have a toll-free number on the back you can dial to check whether the cards are still valid.

When determining the buy and sell price of a gift card, you should do some research on ebay. Try to look for auction that sell the similar card. See how much the card sells in the auction and set you buying price at 40% to 50% of the selling price of the auction. The starting bid and winning bid of the auction can also give you an idea on how much your card can sell on ebay.

15 Common Mistakes that Violate Google Adsense TOS

2008-01-09T11:04:00.001-08:00

Google Adsense program is a popular web advertising program which provides a good income source for many websites. There are well defined terms of service to strictly adhere to when participating in the program.

On my visit through sites and forums, I daily notice several instances of misuse of Adsense ads. So here a few helpful Google Adsense tips, probably many you already know, and few you might gain by knowing now. These adsense faq are all picked from the Program Policies, Terms and Conditions and FAQ itself and presented in a simplified manner.

1. Never click your own adsense ads or get them clicked for whatever reason. You know this one very well. This is a surefire way to close you Adsense account. Never tell your office associates or friends to click on them. Keep a check if your family or children are busy increasing your income by clicking your ads and indirectly trying to stop your income. Dont even think of offering incentives for clicks, using automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. Adsense is very smart to detect fraudulent clicks. Check the ads which appear on your pages by the Google Preview tool if required.

2. Never change the Adsense code. There are enough means of adsense optimization & customizations available to change the colour, background or border to suit your needs. Do whatever you want to do outside the code, never fiddle within the ad or the search code. They know it when you do. The search code has more limitations to colour and placement, but you should adhere to the rules. The code may stop working and violates the TOS.

3. Do not place more than 3 ad units and 3 ad links or 2 adsense search boxes on any web page. Anyway, ads will not appear in those units even if you place more ad units. But this is the limit they set, so it is better to stick to it.

4. Do not run competitive contextual text ad or search services on the same site which offer Google Adsense competition in their field. Never try to create link structures resembling the adsense ads. Never use other competitive search tools on the same pages which have Adsense powered Google search. They do allow affiliate or limited-text links. Update: Google has allowed you to run contextual advertising like Yahoo ads, Chitika etc provided the ads do not resemble Adsense ads.

5. Do not disclose confidential information about your account like the CTR, CPM and income derived via individual ad units or any other confidential information they may reveal to you. However, you may reveal the total money you make as per recent updates to the TOS.

6. Label headings as “sponsored links” or “advertisements” only. Other labels are not allowed. I have seen many sites label ads with other titles. Dont make your site a target in a few seconds gaze.

7. Never launch a New Page for clicked ads by default. Adsense ads should open on the same page. You may be using a base target tag to open all links in a new window or frame by default. Correct it now as they do not want new pages opening from clicked ads.

8. One Account suffices for Multiple websites. You do not need to create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do. If you live in the fear that if one account is closed down for violation of TOS, believe me they will close all accounts when they find out. You can keep track of clicks by using channels with real time statistics. They will automatically detect the new site and display relevant ads.

9. Place ads only on Content Pages. Advertisers pay only for content based ads. Content drives relevant ads. Although you might manage some clicks from error, login, registration, “thank you” or welcome pages, parking pages or pop ups, it will get you out of the program.

10. Do not mask ad elements. Alteration of colours and border is a facility to blend or contrast ads as per your site requirements. I have seen many sites where the url part is of the same colour as the background. While blending the ad with your site is a good idea, hiding relevant components of the ads is not allowed. Also do not block the visibility of ads by overlapping images, pop ups, tables etc.

11. Do not send your ads by email. Html formatted emails look good and allow placement of these javascript ads. But it is not allowed as per TOS. You do not want impressions registering on their logs from any email even once. They are watching!

12. Keep track of your content. So Adsense is not allowed on several non content pages. But it is also not allowed on several content pages too. Do not add it on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results. Also exclude any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal content.

13. Do not alter the results after ad clicks or searches - Ensure you are not in any way altering the site which the user reaches to after clicking the ads. Do not frame, minimize, remove, redirect or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of any Advertiser Page or Search Results Page after the user clicks on any Ad or Search results.

14. Avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing - Although the definition of ‘excessive’ is a gray area and is subject to discretion, yet Google adsense with correct placement, focused content and high traffic will get you much more income than other programs, so excessive advertising is not required. Keyword stuffing does target better focused ads, but overdoing it is not required.

15. Ensure you Language is Supported - Adsense supports “Chinese (simplified), Japanese, Danish, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, English, Polish, Finnish, Portuguese, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Swedish, Italian and Turkish”. In addition, AdSense for search is available in Czech, Slovak, and Traditional Chinese. If your web pages language is not supported, do not use the code on such pages.

Update:
16. Maximum 2 referral button per product per page - With the launch of the google adsense referral program, you are allowed to put only 2 referral buttons for adsense referral, adwords referral, Google pack and Firefox with google toolbar referral.

17. Do not specify Google ads as your alternate ads. - Several services like Chitika eminimalls allow you to place alternate urls, when a targeted paying ad cannot be displayed. This involved creating an simple html page and putting the ad to be displayed instead. Even Adsense allows an alternate url feature instead of displaying public service ads. But never use Adsense ads as alternate urls.

18. Do not confuse with adjacent images - It was a common policy to increase CTR by placing same number of images as the number of text ads, which falsely gave the impression that the text ads represented an explanation to these images. Inserting a small space or a line between the images and ads is not allowed. Make sure that the ads and images are not arranged in a way that could easily mislead or confuse your visitors. More.

Whenever in doubt, it is better to ask for adsense help from the learned staff of Google Adsense. They are very helpful!

5 Tips to Boost Your Adsense Revenue

2007-11-12T02:22:00.000-08:00

Google AdSense program has made it easier for webmasters to make money through a website. Webmasters who run an AdSense campaign will display Google's contextual Ads relevant to the content of their sites and thus encouraging visitors to click the ads and earn money for each ad click.

However you will earn very little AdSense revenue if you don't know how to optimize your AdSense ads on your website. Here are some tips to increase your AdSense earning:

1. Focus on one Adsense ad format. The Large Rectangle (336X280) ad format seems to work better than other ad formats because this format tends to result in higher click through rates (CTR). Another reason is that the ads will look like normal web links that visitors use to click on them. It doesn't matter whether the visitors know that they are clicking AdSense ads or not, as long as there are clicking, you earn AdSense commission.

2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Select a color that matches your website's background. If your site's background is white both, the color of ad border and background should set to be white too. Also the color of the ad title should be similar to coloe of the links in your website. This is to make your AdSense ads look like it is part of the web pages. Again, this will boost AdSense CTR.

3. Don't place your AdSense ads at the bottom of your webpages because it is proven to be less effective. Displaying your AdSense ads at the bottom is like hiding your AdSense and thus leads to low CTR and AdSense revenue. Try to 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. Try to place your AdSense ads near rich content as visitors main focus usually are your content. There are several ways to insert AdSense ads into your content and one of the ways is place your AdSense just after the end of your content.

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, name it as “AdSense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then use 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. There are other ways to optimize your AdSense that produce high CTR also. You can learn more tricks by reading in AdSense and webmaster forums.v

Can You Really Make Money Blogging?

2007-11-12T02:20:00.000-08:00

This is another common misconception that I hope to sort out today. The common belief is that blogging is an easy way out to making money online. One good example is provided by all the small blogspot blogs with adsense ads that have sprung up recently. These amateur bloggers believe that by writing an article or two and bombarding visitors with ads is the way to make money - but that is far from the truth.

The cold hard truth is that blogging is not an easy way to make money over the internet. I had to learn it the hard way. After reading all those great income reports by "dot com moguls" and the wealth of money making info out there, I was convinced to start my own blog. So I set it up, drop some syndicated articles and fill it with adsense ads. What was the result? My grand total income for the month was, you guessed it, $0.

But that's not to say that you can't make money online by blogging. Yes, you can make money, but only if you stick with it in the long run. It takes patience, trial and error and hard work to make even a dime. You won't see any positive results in the first few months. But by then, most bloggers would drop out dissappointed. Professional bloggers know that a good deal of money can be made by blogging in the long run. You just have to lay the foundation right.

So how do you lay the right foundation? Stay tuned because I'll tell you. There's more to follow.

Automated OR Manual Submission to Directories

2007-09-14T07:23:00.000-07:00

Sites can be submitted to directories in two ways - manually adding your site to individual directories one-by-one and second way is to use automated submission software to do the job. While it is true that automated submission will be able to submit your site details to thousands of directories in a very small time and also free, but the method suffers from the following disabilities.

Directories require the submitter to enter a few characters (Captcha) to identofy you as a genuine human being. This step is bound to be missed by the automated submission and hence your site will not be submitted to these directories.
Some directories also do not allow automated submissions because it has been seen that automated submission software sometimes dump spam onto these directories.
Even if your site manages to get submitted by the software, it may not be able to drill it down to the correct sub-category where your might attract maximum traffis - hence the whole exercise might be one in vain.

So in light of the above it is most advisable that manual submission is the way forward, but it being so much time consuming you would be better advised to out-source the submission process. There is also the question of expertise here, a person having good experience in the field might be able to submit your site to most popular categories and avoid dull ones, bringing good traffic in return.

Protect your Adsense Code

2007-09-14T07:06:00.000-07:00

You may not be aware but there is a potential danger to your adsense account. There is a possibility that someone might copy your adsense code onto a website with inappropriate code that may damage your whole adsense account.

This has happened at least to one person atleast who has acknowledged this. There may be more who have not reported it.

This is quite frightening if you think seriously, all your hard work can go down the drain if someone decides to hurt you real bad. But don't worry yourself to death - there is help at hand. Recently adsense added a new feature to Google Adsense Program.

Adsense has a new tab called "Allowed Sites". The two options under this tab are;

Allow any site to show ads for my account
Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account
In the second option you can any domain or sub-domain to your list of approved sites. If anyone tries to paste your code to any site other than the above list, the adsense ads will appear but you will not get any revenue from the clicks or even count impressions. Here I and many other similar thinking bloggers beg to differ from Google Adsense Program. A better option would have been to only show PSA's. Anyway Google has thought this to be right for them and this is how it works for now. So I think everybody should use this feature and protect their adsense account.

How to Setup an Adsense Account?

2007-09-13T01:46:00.000-07:00

In term of suitability, your site should be free from porn information and adult content. Apart from that, you site should not be made solely for displaying adsense ads. Anyway, just read the TOS and see whether your site is eligible. In other words, your site should not be content-free.

However, some people still say they do not revieve any reply from Google after a week. Nevermind, email them for such situation. They are welcome for all email enquiry.

Google has its own blogging service - Blogger.com (http://www.blogger.com/). You can start a blog on Blogger.com with any topics you like - and it is completely free. I have relevant post in my site to illustrate how to setup a blog in blogger.com. It only takes you no more than five minutes to setup a blog. Once your blog is created, post several articles that you like on it. You can write it yourself, or grab the content from the web. But remember to quote the source of the articles.

After putting 5-6 articles onto your blog, you cna then use it to apply for adsense. Go to www.google.com/adsnese and signup with this blog. You can refer to my post on explaining how to apply for an adsense account:

How blogs from india make money from online (internet)

2007-09-13T00:48:00.000-07:00

I wanted to know how blogs and websites from India monetize themselves.

So I chose bunch of most popular websites/blogs from India which are written in English and also I chose some popular/not so popular non english websites/blogs.

Most popular English websites or blogs:

Without big surprise, most popular english websites and blogs (except rediff) from India are using adsense to monetize their blog or websites and also they get their advertisements directly from advertisers. In some websites I see advertisements from CPX-Interactive, but not in primary advertisement slots.

So from above, one can understand that adsense is the best performer though a blog or websites traffic is based on India.

Most popular non-english websites or blogs:

I took one famous website from each of the following languages Tamil, Telugu, Bengali and Malayalam.

These websites fill their primary advertisement slots with direct advertisers and the secondary slots goes mainly to adsense.

Not so popular non-english websites or blogs:

Blogs which are written in some of the regional Indian language or in Hindi have hard time in monetizing. Because adsense doesn't really deliver ads to those blogs, though they deliver to some, the PPC is quite low.

8 Tips to Make Your Website Profitable

2007-09-13T00:44:00.000-07:00

1. Your website's template and design should relevant to your site’ title and content. You wouldn't want to use a dog graphic header on an e-commerce website that sells cell phones.

2. Whenever you have added new articles and content to your site let your visitors know immediately. You can do this by alerting your visitors using email. This will increase the numbers of people revisiting your web site.

3. Let your visitors know about your email address or even telephone number on your website. This offers a way to visitors to contact you to ask for more information and assistant which will enable you to build good relationship with your visitors. And those who are in the same niches may contact you requesting for potential joint venture for making more money online.

4. Provide an option to your visitors to view your website offline. You can offer it by autoresponder or printer friendly version.

Search engines are good sources of high quality targeted traffic to your website in long term. So you don’t want to be blacklisted by them. You don’t need to make your content 100% original, 60% original or higher is safe enough.

6. Give your visitors a good reason to come back to your site. You may try to give incentives to encourage them revisiting your site like providing free games, adding entertaining videos frequently, allowing free downloads such as ebooks and software that are useful to your visitors.

7. Customize you website in logical and profitable sequence. You don't want people to see your freebies before they learn about what products you are offering. Identify what actions you want people to take when they are visiting your website that will make you profitable and then organize your site accordingly to entice people to take that action. If you main purpose is to earn money with cost-per-click ads programs such as AdSense, YPN, etc; you’ll want your visitors to click on your CPC ads to earn money.

Make money by sharing photos

2007-09-13T00:36:00.000-07:00

Shareapic is a website where one can make money online by sharing/uploading photos. There are plenty of such websites and I registered with almost all of them and did upload few photos(few months ago). Now I am going to do a kind of small review about all such websites. So now I start with shareapic.

First of all shareapic doesn't allow users to upload,

- Full Nudity pictures
- Partial nudity (except for regular bikinis with no thongs) pictures
- Pictures with thongs
- See through shirts / nipples / nipple slips
- Underwear pictures of any kind- Upskirt pictures
- Obscene pictures- Offensive pictures
- Suggestive pictures

How much shareapic pay?

Their website gives the following statement regarding the question "
Earnings vary each month based off the amount of income Shareapic generates from advertising. Once this number is finalized a percentage of that is distributed throughout Shareapic members depending on how many image views they have accrued.

For example, if in month one Shareapic calculates to distribute $1,000 to our members, we will first tally up the total number of image views for that month. Using these two numbers we can determine the respective payouts for each user. If there were a total of 500,000 image views for the month, image views will equate to $0.002 each (1,000 divided by 500,000), or $2 per 1000 image views. If you're posting lots of pics in forums, MySpace or eBay, you can see how easy it is to earn quite a bit of money!

Although we do not disclose the revenue share, we do display the amount paid for previous pay periods in the members section. Our goal is to pay out enough to keep users happy, while still being able to sustain development costs, hosting fees, salaries, etc".Payments are made through paypal and the minimum payout amount is $20.00.You are allowed to post your links to forums, blogs and social networking websites.

My review about shareapic:

I did just upload 2 pictures in shareapic and it just took few mins for that. Then I did nothing, no more uploading, no marketing. I completely forgot about them after that. Just today I visited them again and was bit surprised. because those 2 photos had around 50 views and my earning was around 2 cents. So, if I have uploaded at least photo a day, I would have made at least few dollars. So now I have decided to do that. At least photo a day and will review again after a month.
