easy steps to earning just the little bit more from Google adsense

Sorry I haven’t posted in short while, I have been quite busy catching up from the Christmas holidays and being a little bit to obsessed with call of duty MW2 so I thought ill do a post on how YOU can earn a bit more from Adsense and make your websites pay for itself.

The steps are quite easy and shouldn’t take long at all but feel free to comment below if you think I have missed something out. Remember this article is a no frills and simply covers the basics:
1. Picking a product Keyword

  • Picking a niche that you like is better than picking a niche that has the highest payout, the main reason is that you can quite easily right up a article about a “Bongos” for example but you will easily get bored and if you get bored then your traffic drops. Make sure you pick something that will be of interest to you so you can keep your interest and keep the content fresh.

If you really are stuck then look my article on finding a niche

2. Finding the right long tail keywords

  • Long tail keys are also vital to the future of your adsense income – This is when people search for a term i.e. “How to play bongos” so you use your main keyword “bongos” as well as How, Play.

Read my article on finding longtail keywords

3. Researching your Competition and CPC

  • This is where Google can be your friend by taking advantage of Googles keyword tool to check out how many people are searching for a certain keyword and also find out how much a keyword could be worth per click. I tend to only pick keywords that are over a $1 else its just not worth it.

4. Choose a simple and easy to use theme or template.

  • Only use simple themes for your blog or website that are easy to use, not cluttered with adverts and defiantly do not have tool bars and popups as this really does affect your traffic.

5. Write about 300-400 words of content on your product

  • Write about 3/400 words in a article about your product, try not to go over board as people get bored of the article is to long.

6. Build 20-40 backlinks weekly

  • Even though article marketing seems to be slowing down as the market is flooded with low quality articles that have been spun over and over again, you can get some good strong backlinks from Ezine and other article directories. You must make sure not to use the same articles from your website as your site will then have duplicate content. Other options are blog commenting and forum signatures to help build up the backlinks in a timely manner!

That’s pretty much it to setting up your website for adsense ;)

So is onpage SEO really that difficult?

“SEO” maybe a term that could either confuse you or just something that your are not that interested in doing, but I’m sorry to say that you do need just a little knowledge about SEO or your website will simply fail. Getting traffic is not as hard as you may think and the hardest part of SEO is really quite simple.

The main part of SEO is what most “SEO experts” called on page optimisation and this is finding keywords that are suited to your website or “niche” that you think people would be searching for on the search engines like Google or Bing. A lot of website owners should do on-page SEO when they build the website by using the <*title> tags or building a article around certain words that you think could draw attention to your website.

When choosing keywords you need to find out what you think your potential viewers would be searching for and then placing those keywords into your website. You can pay companies or experts hundreds if not thousand of dollars but with a little bit of time and research, you can do the same job and more than likely have the same results than any expert can do for you.

The most important start to optimising your website is by using the title tags, and if your unsure what these are then you really need to research the basics of html before your attempt to get a website up and running, a website without the proper coding or meta tags can cause huge damage to your website.

A example of meta tags that you should be using for your website:


<*meta name="Description" content="This would be something about your business or website, keep it short " />

<*meta name="Keywords" content” Any keywords that you think would benefit your website, but don’t use loads of keywords " />

<*title>This title tag is very important but you need to have different title on every page of your website while keeping it short and to the point.</title>


Now you have your meta tags set up, you need to do some keyword research and you can do this with ease, with the help of Google Keyword Tool while also using Google for your researching also. Go over to Google Keyword Tool and work out which keywords you think would be useful for your website, if you have a website about Dogs then you might want to target keywords like:

+ How to look after a dog

+ How to feed a puppy

+ My puppy has worms

What I tend to do first is search is Google for a term I think might get traffic to my website, if you Google “My puppy has worms” and all you get in the page listings is Yahoo answers, Ezine Articles or forums then you know that you can dominate that keyword phrase as there isn’t many websites using that phrase, then you need to have a look in the Google keyword tool to see how many people would be searching that phrase, if you find its only a small number searching for those keywords then you will be wasting you time but if you see that Google shows that thousands of people are looking for the term” My puppy has worms” then you know that you can use those keywords on your website either in your title tags or using the words in a article or write up about your product. Once you have filled up a page using this method of keyword research then you  can do the same on your other pages, this takes a bit of time but the rewards can be fantastic and the main thing about doing this is that you are saving yourself a lot of money.

I hope you enjoyed this article

p.s please remove * from the tags if you wish to use them

Simple Seo strategies that you need to do for 2010

Now everybody you listen to is talking about SEO strategies that work really work. There are several guys talking on the web –in blogs and diverse forums- about search engine optimization and how to rank better in search engines. Get visibility is more than words, or even say you are an expert planning to have a good position in search engine. I would like to share with you some incredible tips about those SEO strategies that are going to make your business more robust for the forthcoming months.

Update your site map:

This is a very simple tip about search engine optimization but something that is going to set a new tendency in 2010 is that search engines –Google, Yahoo, Bing, Excite and others- is they are going to use more and more site maps as a mechanism to index websites. If your website doesn’t have yet a site map try to create one or update your current site map.

-Improve your ranking through ALT Text:

This is an excellent detail that you should consider when you are optimizing your website with images. You should know that your images with     alt text are crawled by search engines, but if your images are not properly optimized you could be losing the opportunity to rank better. This optimization is basically related to include your keywords in your alt text, so that everything can work fine and more Internet users can find your website even when they are searching images.

-Only use Flash if it is necessary:

Most experienced –and some novices- SEO professionals are aware about the difficulty of developing web pages in flash. It could lead you to several problems related to get traffic because your site in flash won’t be indexed by search engines. The most advisable SEO strategy you should execute is not use flash in your home page, specifically in header menus, frames or things like that. You could use flash in tiny banners and other things that don’t obstruct the crawling of your website or blog.

So you want backlinks and to be indexed in less than 24 hours

Some of you may remember my article regarding getting indexed within 24hours using a hand full of websites while getting a few back links at the same time. I still find what I wrote quite usefull but I have found something that completely blows my previous article out of the water.

I was checking out digitalpoint freebies section and came across a post boasting about a new SEO script that will get you indexed within 24hours while getting your new domain backlinks from websites with pagerank 6 and upwards. The post also claimed that it can get back links in the thousands all with good pagerank. I read the post a couple of times thinking it was a load of crap like most of the rubbish that gets placed on the freebie section of digital point, after all it was claiming something it could give you something for nothing…………. Indexed, backlinks that are from high pageranked websites which of course can improve your own page-rank when Google decides to update itself… Sounds to good to be true does it not?

I thought ill give this magic script ago by using a domin that I wasnt to bothered if it got dropped or not so why not?

I checked out the website and gave it a go, you simply type in your domain and make sure you have “new browser” selected and set how many pop up(new windows) you want to open at the same time. I had opted for 50 windows to open to see what it does, this gets annoying as you really do get 50 windows open up with all these websites that you have just pinged but never mind that was my choice and wont do that again. You can select less windows to open or do it manually by just clicking the links but that will take hours to do as you can get 100s of websites queing to ping your website and some of them leave a record on their website so you can get a backlink also while using the tool…………….. quite handy hey?

I must admit it took me a while to work out how the tool would force a website to make a backlink on the “pinged” website but it works the same as princiable of my last article so overall it gets a 8/10 from me. The main downside to this tool is that the websites it pings are mainly Chinese but they do have alot of websites with good pagerank and they are not adult websites or warez websites so you are pretty much safe from having bad links to your new website. The developer of the website has stated he wanted to clean up alot of the websites that the scripts uses for pinging and getting backlinks so hopefully there will be more English websites.

Anyway, I tested the script on the domain that wasnt indexed and hasn’t been in use for at least 3 months. The domain was indexed pretty much in the 24th hour which i was quite suprised about but I have yet to check out the backlinks but I will edit this post once I have done a proper check as half the decent backlink counters on the Internet have stopped working.

I would be careful using this tool if you are planning to use a domain as a new business or website as it is quite new and I myself haven’t checked out the side affects of using this script, I will be checking the back-links very closely over the next couple of weeks while also giving the domain a few more blasts.

If you looking for a quick fix to getting your website indexed and have a few backlinks then this tool is most definatly the way to go!

Building targeted backlinks with Squidoo

Well if you own a website, you know that you need to rank well on Google to get traffic. Traffic = Revenue.
That means we need good SEO. Therefore, we need some targeted backlinks that have PageRank and are obviously DoFollow. This will help to increase the SERPs of a website as well as the PageRank. Two in one.
Now let’s get started.

This little technique is building links from the very popular site, Squidoo. People build lenses about their chosen subject and write about them. Because of the great amount of information on them (As well as some good SEO maybe), they often have some PageRank. These are great places to put your link.

There is one good plugin that Squidoo users can install which gives us this ability. We need to use a simple Google query to find the lens’ that have this plugin installed.
Search Google for this:
site:www.squidoo.com “0 points” “Add to this list”
I get this result:
Results 1 – 10 of about 23,600 from www.squidoo.com for “0 points” “Add to this list”. (0.23 seconds)
That gives us 23,600 webpages for us to put our links on. We may need to narrow this down a little though, towards our keywords.

Let’s use another example:
site:www.squidoo.com “0 points” “Add to this list” Health
That query gives us this:
Results 1 – 10 of about 5,530 from www.squidoo.com for “0 points” “Add to this list” Health. (0.25 seconds)

Now you should be able to see the great amount of links you can build,Of course this is only the first step!

Now it’s time to filter your results based on PageRank. You can use whatever Bulk PageRank Checker you want to find the ones with PageRank.
Most lenses that I’ve found seem to have around PR1 – PR2 as an average. I’ve seen a LOT of PR3 ones though, and several PR4 pages. This is not bad at all.
Now that you have your lists, it’s time to show you how you can build your links on these pages.

Go to one of the pages.

For this example, I’m going to use this: http://www.squidoo.com/free-old-movies-and-tv-shows

This page is a PR3 page.
Scroll down until you see “Free Movie Sites” This is where you will add your link. Of course it isn’t going to say Free Movie Sites on each one, it will be different. You can see the general layout of what it looks like though.

Next, you click the button that says “Add to this list”.
You will see:
Type or paste links below (one per line):
(Ex: http://www.mysiteranked.com)
This is where you just put the URL of your site for now. Enter the URL, click Done Adding. You will then be taken to another form where you can alter your Website Title (Anchor text) and your Website Description. Submit this, and that’s it, done.
There are some different varieties. Some of the lenses you find might only be for Amazon products – You should notice it if all the other links are from Amazon.
Some of the lenses are moderated too. You should only add your links to lenses that are relevant to yours. If you follow this, I’m sure your links will get approved.
Enjoy

Lets go crazy……………..Google Pagerank Updated

30th Oct 2009 and Google has decided to update websites giving pagerank to those that “deserve” it and taking it away from those who dont!

Im a traffic fan, I prefer to concentrate on getting people to view my website and in turn, making some spare cash every month from my work. A couple of my websites have gone up in page rank between PR2 and PR4 so I guess it is nice to have some sort of reward for keeping the websites fresh and working hard to keep traffic flowing.

So what’s next in the PR update then?

Already nearly every webmaster forum is full of people selling links on their brand new page ranked website, nearly every new “webmaster” thinks they are now going to be rich by selling links on their blogs/websites. The truth is really one thing, it’s quite easy to get a PR update on your website if you keep your content fresh, the only time consuming part of getting page rank is waiting for Google to update the system.

I’m still wondering really what’s next. ?

I did a few checks on my keywords and 2 keywords out of my 20 keywords have dropped off the first page of Google, am I worried? No

I look at it that I just need to improve the promotion on those keywords, It will only take a week or so and I’ll have my place back again, never give up with promotion of your keywords and domain once you get pagerank. When the next Google PR update happens I should get even better pagerank and of course it will most likely drop me on a couple of keywords and ill do the same, learn from it and then improve and take my place on the search engines.

I have always said I am not bothered about PR as I am not a link seller and I have no plans to sell my main websites so ill just use it as a learning curve!

If your main is just to get PR and just post your links on high PR websites then you probably will fail in getting pagerank, remember Google is the top dog of the internet, like it or lump it!

Work on getting traffic, comment on the dofollow and nofollow links and keep your content fresh for your viewers then page rank will come on its own!

Does forum signature link building get boring??

As a blogger and an owner of around 6 other websites (continuous flipping), I have the chore of building up my backlinks. One of the easiest ways is forum signature link building. It is a great way to get lots of backlinks and of course traffic to your website or blog.

The trouble with forum link building is choosing the right forums in the first place, you might find a website with 100,000 members but you would be likely to get bored of it. One of the larger forums is digitalpoint, this is the biggest webmaster forum to date on the internet and has some very good resources as well as a great source of knowledge. A downside to digital point for me is the fact that it is so big you can hardly keep up with some of the posts, plus its also so easy to miss something. I also find that bigger websites have lost that community feeling, everyone is just on the look out for the next quick buck rather than answering the original posted question, they just simply answer with “I can do this for £10″. Another point, is that the site is very repetitive in the content, i.e. the questions are repeated time and time again.

So, rather than just finding ‘do follow’ forums and find yourself posting just for the sake of getting backlinks, why not look for a forum (or two) that you can enjoy posting and be part of the  community? You never know you may get a lot back. I use digitalpoint alot, as I earn money from the site its a very professional based site, mixed with people who think they are professional and for me this is a let down. Also, the fear of being banned is so high on digitalpoint, I once got a 7 day ban because I questioned a sellers motives when he was selling SEO services for a such a low price, he was a blatant fraud. In turn I get banned for “thread hijacking”! Is a buyer not allowed to ask questions to a seller then?

My point here is why be apart of a “community” if you’re going to be looking over your shoulder and worried about asking a question or starting a topic for the fear of a moderator banning over petty mindedness.

Since my “ban” I started to look for new communities and I have struggled to find a decent forum that I would like to spend my hard earned time on. After a short search I came across two forums that both have ‘do follow’ signatures, RSS blog feeds and a very friendly community feeling.

The first forum is pretty similar to digitalpoint but it’s more friendly and has that “here to help” sort of feeling. Okay, it doesn’t have as many posts as DP but the posts are original and nothing is duplicated. The site is webmastersgossip it’s a PR2 (to date) and has ‘do follow’ signatures and blog feeds it is also easy to use a reference for your website needs and more. The forum has a very good buy/sell/trade market place, just like the bigger sites so you can still make some money with your services and of course the rules are very well known. Everybody has the freedom to do as they like (within reason). So if your a webmaster then why not have look, you may just like it!

The second website is different to webmastersgossip but not too different, its a community with a lot of webmasters, internet marketers, and people who just like to chat about anything and everything not necessarily web design and marketing. DecentDiscussions is a great forum(PR2) where you can just be social, chill out and relax and post away till your hearts content. Of course still gaining your much need anchor text signature links in the mean time. It’s quite nice to find a forum that seems to have a lot of people like myself, not always trying to out bid each other for work, or sell the cheapest services.

So why not look at building your links in a fun and constructive way that can benefit yourself, as well as the community that you decide to join. The bigger the forum; the more competition. Also the more members there are means more crappy posts all asking the same questions and the replies all being the same.

In this case, big certainly is not the best in my opinion.
