Pertamina</a> (<a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persero#Persero">Persero</a>) which is also a new motto taken by Pertamina Pertamina in commemorating the anniversary of 52. In the state of Indonesia, who do not know with the name Pertamina? even friends bloggers often use the word "Pertamax" (special fuel output Pertamina) in commenting on some blogs the master. The slogan "<a href="http://komunitas-bantu-membantu.blogspot.com/2009/10/kerja-keras-adalah-energi-kita-bukan.html" rel="dofollow" title="Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita">Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita</a>" may be in mean how hard the journey pertamina to remain faithful to serve the people of Indonesia for 52 years.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Contest "<i>Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita</i>" held by Pertamina in my opinion is a fairly unique contest and a bit different from contests other blogs. As we know, the reason many bloggers follow a contest is to hone skills of SEO. However, the contest "<a href="http://komunitas-bantu-membantu.blogspot.com/" rel="dofollow" title="Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita">Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita</a>" in my opinion have more value because it can be one of the containers and promotional relationship between blogs Blogger Indonesia, this is because this contest has a page "Blog Showcase" contest for participants as a blog directory friends can see through pertaminablogcontest.com site.<br />
<br />
Blog contest held on the date of October 12, 2009 to January 5, 2010 seems to have a high enough enthusiasm from the bloggers in Indonesia, this can be seen from the sharp increase of the number of participants of the contest, until the date of October 15, 2009 (early days) have been recorded 153 mamber who register for the contest "<a href="http://komunitas-bantu-membantu.blogspot.com/2009/10/kerja-keras-adalah-energi-kita-bukan.html" rel="dofollow" title="Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita"><i>Kerja Keras adalah Energi Kita</i></a>".<br />

One teenager has, in fact, earned $5,000 a month just from making posts on his blog! Of course, not every blogger is this lucky. It does take some skill, and some luck to make money from blogging. What it also takes is some knowledge of how exactly to generate income just by posting blogs. In this newsletter, we will go over three specific methods of making money on your blog: Adsense, Pay Per Lead, and Affiliate Links.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">So how exactly do I make money on my blog?</span><br /><br />You do it by working with another company that wants to use your blog as a form of advertising. It sounds like selling out, right? Not exactly. The advertising can be as in your face or subtle as you want. And it can still make you money, provided you have enough visitors to your blog.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What is Adsense?</span><br /><br />Adsense is a program offered by Google. The program, if installed, will display ads provided by Google. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How do I get Adsense?</span><br /><br />You’ll need to go to Google.com, first. At the bottom of the screen is a link for “Advertising Programs”. Click on that. Then click on the link for “Adsense”. Scroll down on the page that comes up and click “Click Here To Apply!” You then fill out the form with information about yourself. After 12-48 hours, Google will notify you via email whether or not your site has been accepted. When you’ve been accepted, set up your ads by doing either of the following: <br /><br />1. If your blog is hosted on Blogger.com, you can set up your AdSense ads by going to your profile, selecting settings>template>add an element. Then select AdSense and login with your account info. Next, you’ll configure your ads and save the template. That’s it.<br /><br />2. If you are self-hosting your blog, you’ll have to set up AdSense in more of a manual way. You’ll create your ads(which can be as small or as tall as you want) and then copy the HTML/Javascript code Google gives you. Then you’ll paste it into your blog(on the left, right, or top of the screen).<br /><br />For the first few days, the ads displayed by Google will be Public Service Announcements. After the ads have been up a few days, though, the ads will switch to ads that are relevant to your blog.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How does Adsense work?</span><br /><br />Every time a visitor clicks an Adsense ad, you get a little bit of money(usually around 30-60 cents). The amount you get for each ad clicked depends on the number of unique visitors you receive on your blog. The more visitors, the more money that can be earned.<br /><br />Google will then send a check or pay you through Paypal once you’ve made at least $100 from the ads.<br /><br />It is important to remember that Google will penalize you if you click your own ads, or if you ask visitors specifically to click ads. So don’t do that!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Pay Per Click</span><br /><br />Pay Per Click is basically just like AdSense, except you don’t just work with Google—you work with multiple companies. BidVertiser is one such company you can sign up with to do Pay Per Click advertising.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How do I get Pay Per Click</span><br /><br />You sign up with a site like Bidvertiser and then follow their instructions to set up the Pay Per Click ads on your site.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How does Pay Per Click work?</span><br /><br />It works by paying you money each time someone clicks an ad that you display. You won’t get paid for multiple clicks from the same user in the same visitor, nor will you get paid for someone simply visiting your site. You only get paid for legitimate clicks.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Affiliate Links</span><br /><br />Affiliate links are basically links which people pay you for. Companies will actually pay owners of popular blogs to post links on their blog. You can do as much Affiliate linking as you want.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How do I get Affiliate Links?</span><br /><br />You can get Affiliate links by searching for “Affiliate Link Programs” on the internet. Once you find an Affiliate link program that looks good to you, sign up for it. Then you can follow their instructions for putting the link(s) on your blog.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How do Affiliate Links work?</span><br /><br />Like the other two methods mentioned above, Affiliate links work by paying you money each time they are clicked. You get paid for each click per unique visitor.<br /><br />So that’s it. There’s three legitimate ways to make money from blogging. It is important to keep in mind that the amount of money you are able to make depends on how many visitors your blog draws. If you draw a lot, you’ll make a lot. If not, the money you earn will be modest. But it’s still extra money, so why not do it?<br /><br />Making money using Adsense, Pay Per Click or Affiliate Link programs is easy and effective.

The thing is, you don't know what it is and what it can do for your blog. Well that's fine because a lot of bloggers don't quite understand pinging. In this newsletter, we will explain what pinging is, how it helps your blog, and what the best pinging services are. After you've read this newsletter, you'll know exactly how to use pinging to make your blog popular.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is pinging?</span><br /><br />When a blog is pinged, it essentially tells a web blog tracking system that the blog has been updated. Thus, pinging is the process of telling tracking services that a site has been updated.<br /><br />So how does pinging work? Well, a ping service scans regularly blogs for updates. Whenever there is a new update for a particular blog, that is reported back to the pinging service’s site. You can almost think of ping services being just like search engine spiders—both scan sites looking for information, and both report that information back to their specific site. The difference is, a ping service only reports back new blog posts.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Why is pinging useful for my blog?</span><br /><br />Pinging, in effect, tells people that there is a new blog posting available. Those who are loyal followers of your blog will see the ping and want to visit your blog. Those who haven’t read your blog before will see the ping and perhaps think “hey, there’s a new blog I haven’t been to before, I think I’ll check it out”. Pinging helps to increase your traffic because it tells people when your blog is updated. Those who visit sites with pinging services will see this information in the form of a scroll on the left or right side, or top of the page. The scroll is usually in XML format and typically includes the title and URL of your blog, as well as the date and time of the update.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">OK, so now I know what pinging is. Who offers pinging?</span><br /><br />The answer is, there are several pinging services available which you can use to have your blog pinged. We’ll go over some of them right now.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Weblogs.com</span><br /><br />Weblogs.com is probably the most well-known pinging service. Weblogs.com monitors sites for updates and then pings whenever there is an update to report. Virtually every blog software is available to use Weblogs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yahoo’s Blo.gs</span><br /><br />Another popular pinging service. This one is offered by Yahoo and has a built-in integration with movable type and other tools. One cool thing about this service is that it offers the ability to give out updates via Instant Messenging services like AOL and ICQ. It is a direct pinging service, so those who sign up for subscriptions to your blog will be sent an email anytime your blog is updated.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blogrolling.com</span><br /><br />Blogrolling allows its bloggers to manage their blogrolls (updates) through a web-based interface. Recently updated blogs are also highlighted on Blogrolling’s web site. Data is automatically retrieved from other sites like blogger.com and weblogs.com every 5 minutes. Often times your blog is already being pinged by Blogrolling, so you might not have to sign up for it. Search on the site first for your URL before signing it up.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Technorati</span><br /><br />Available at http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping, Technorati is another service that pings blogs. It gets its data from a variety of places and is definitely a site you should go to for blog pinging.<br /><br />These are just 4 of the many different blog pinging services available.

All of these data is delivered in the form of an XML file (XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language), which has the following common names: <span class="fullpost"><br />• RSS feed<br />• Webfeed<br />• RSS stream<br />• RSS channel<br /><br />They are typically shown on web pages as an orange rectangle that usually has the letters XML or RSS in it.<br /><br />RSS feeds can be used to deliver any kind of information. Some of these 'feeds' include:<br />• Blogs feed - each blog entry is summarized as a feed item. This makes blog posts easier to scan, enabling 'visitors' to zoom in on their items of interest.<br />• Article feed - this alerts readers whenever there are new articles and web contents available.<br />• Forum feed - this allows users to receive forum posts and latest discussion topics.<br />• Schedule feed - this allows users (such as schools, clubs, and other organizations) to broadcast events and announce schedule changes or meeting agendas.<br />• Discounts or Special feed - this is used to enable users (such as retail and online stores) to 'deliver' latest specials and discounted offers.<br />• Ego or News Monitoring - this enables users to receive 'filtered' headlines or news that are based on a specific phrase or keyword.<br />• Industry-specific feed - used by technical professionals in order to market, promote, or communicate with current (and prospective) customers and clients within their specific industries.<br /><br />RSS feeds enable people to track numerous blogs and news sources at the same time. To produce an RSS feed, all you need is the content or the article that you want to publicize and a validated RSS text file. Once your text file is registered at various aggregators (or 'news readers'), any external site can then capture and display your RSS feed, automatically updating them whenever you update your RSS file.<br /><br />RSS tools are useful for sites that add or modify their contents on a regular basis. They are especially used for 'web syndication' or activities that involve regular updates and/or publications, such as the following:<br />• News websites - as used by major news organizations such as Reuters, CNN, and the BBC.<br />• Marketing<br />• Bug reports<br />• Personal weblogs<br /><br />There are many benefits to using RSS feeds. Aside from being a great supplemental communication method that streamlines the communication needs of various sectors, RSS tools and feeds can also have tremendous benefits in your business, particularly in the field of internet marketing.<br /><br />RSS tools and feeds provide Internet users with a free (or cheap) and easy advertising or online marketing opportunity for their businesses. Below are some of the RSS features that can help make your internet marketing strategies more effective.<br /><br />1. Ease in content distribution services. With RSS, your business can be captured and displayed by virtually any external site, giving you an easy way to 'spread out' and advertise them.<br /><br />2. Ease in regular content updates. With RSS, web contents concerning your business can now be automatically updated on a daily (and even hourly) basis. Internet users will be able to experience 'real time' updates as information in your own file (such as new products and other business-related releases) is changed and modified simultaneously with that of the RSS feeds that people are subscribed to.<br /><br />3. Custom-made content services. With RSS, visitors can have personalized content services, allowing them total control of the flow and type of information that they receive. Depending on their interests and needs, visitors can subscribe to only those contents that they are looking for (such as real estate or job listings).<br /><br />4. Increase in (and targeted) traffic. With RSS, traffic will be directed to your site as readers of your content summary (or 1 to 2 lines of your article) who find them interesting are 'forced' to click on a link back to your site.<br /><br />These are just several of the many things that you can do with RSS. The possibilities are endless, and they are all aimed at providing you with an effective internet marketing strategy for your business.<br /><br />In the mean time, Good Luck on your journey to success…<br /><br />Note:<br />Thanks for Terry Leslie for this nice article<br />you can visit his site at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.secrets2internetfortunes.com">www.secrets2internetfortunes.com </a><br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-10624734849961538052009-02-10T03:43:00.004+07:002009-02-10T03:59:35.827+07:00Tips For Beginner BloggersMany bloggers are not very effective out of the cash, many do not know that you can do major cash money from the main blogs.

See memwg.com for details. The book was mentioned in an article about AdSense in USA Today. As explained in Why are ads displayed on this site?, most of the pages on this site display text ads from Google’s AdWords program. To display these ads, a site must join Google’s AdSense program. Joining is free, but not all sites are eligible to join. Once you’re accepted, however, it’s very simple to place the ads on your pages and to start generating revenue for your site. AdSense will serve ads that are generally very relevant to the content of a particular page. Here are some tips based on my experiences so far with the AdSense program.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #1: Don’t put ads on empty pages.</span><br /><br />When I reworked my site, I built a skeleton set of pages that had no content, just titles and some meta tags. I displayed ads on those pages, however. Although all you see are public service ads at first, the very act of displaying ads on a page causes the AdSense web crawler to quickly fetch that page for analysis. A page with good content will thus begin showing relevant paying ads fairly quickly.<br /><br />If you don’t have any content, then, Google will have to guess as what your page is about. It may guess wrong, and so the ads that it displays may not be relevant. You’ll have to wait until Google re-crawls the site for the ads to correct themselves. Here is what Google had to say when I asked them about how often the AdSense crawler updates a site:<span class="fullpost"><br /><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">Thank you for taking the time to update your site. New ads will start appearing on your site the next time our crawler re-indexes your site. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to control how often our crawlers index the content on your site.<br />Crawling is done automatically by our bots. When new pages are added to your website or introduced to the AdSense program, our crawlers will usually get to them within 30 minutes. If you make changes to a page, however, it may take up to 2 or 3 weeks before the changes are reflected in our index. Until we are able to crawl your web pages, you may notice public service ads, for which you will not receive any earnings.</blockquote><br />It’s better to flesh out the page before you start displaying ads on it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #2: Don’t be afraid to ask questions</span><br /><br />If you’re wondering about something, don’t be afraid to ask Google. So far, they’ve always responded to my questions within a working day. There are two email addresses to use, depending on the type of question:<br /><blockquote style="font-style: italic;">Please feel free to email us at adsense-tech@google.com if you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please email adsense-support@google.com.</blockquote><br />Their responses are always very polite, and they appreciate getting problem reports and suggestions.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #3: Avoid non-English characters on English pages</span><br /><br />This one is a bug, to be honest. My surname is French, and I prefer to write it out correctly with the accent grave on the first “e”. Every page on my site would then include at least two accented letters, because my name shows up twice in the footer. On some pages my name shows up two or three more times.<br />Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue. But on some pages the presence of the accented characters is enough to cause AdSense to display non-relevant ads in French. This happens whether the browser indicates a preference for French or not. When I reported this to Google, this is the answer they gave me:<br /><blockquote style="font-style: italic;"><br />Hello Eric,<br />Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.<br />We are currently working as quickly as we can to address this problem. As soon as we have more information for you, we will email you again.<br />We appreciate your patience.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />The Google Team</blockquote><br />Until this is resolved, I’ve decided to strip out all accents except on the pages that are actually in French.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tip #4: Check your keyword density</span><br /><br />Although Google doesn’t release exact details as to how they determine the ads to serve on a given page, they do tell us that it’s the text content of the page that matters, not the meta tags. Before serving ads on a page, then, you might want to check its keyword density. A good, free tool for doing this is found here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html">http://www.ranks.nl/tools/spider.html</a><br /><br />This lets you fine-tune the page before exposing it to the AdSense crawler.<br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-4515579461592643272009-01-06T00:42:00.004+07:002009-01-06T01:02:40.188+07:00Four Kinds of Links By Sharon HousleyLinks are an important component in an online marketing campaign. Websites usually need a significant number of quality links to perform well in organic search rengkings. Once upon a time, high-quality links were plentiful. But with the<br />growth of the web, and an ever-increasing number of competing websites,<br />garnering link love and attention is a time-consuming and tedious<br />process. <b>There are 4 different types of links that webmasters can work to obtain... </b><br /><br /><b>1. One-Way Links </b><br />A one-way link is a hyperlink from one website to another. For example, Website A links to Website B. <br />Undeniably, these are the best kind of links for a website to have, albeit the most difficult type of link to obtain. A website will usually need to contain unique and compelling content in order for another website to link to it without any payment or reciprocal returning link.<br /><br /><b>2. Reciprocal Links </b><br />Reciprocal links are when two websites exchange links. For example, Website A links to Website B; and Website B links to Website A.<br />The value of reciprocal links is questionable, as you are essentially 'trading' links. Some search engines track the link patterns, and consider reciprocal links as "exchanges". Many webmasters believe that search engines place a lower value on reciprocal links than for one-way links, which is why their value is questionable.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><b>3. Paid Links </b><br />Paid links are just that: links that are purchased. For example, Website A gives $ to Website B; then Website B links to Website A.<br />Compensatory links range from purchased text links to pay-per-click links, where a<br />webmaster pays for clicks that are generated from the link. The upside to paid links is that they are not difficult to obtain if you are willing to pay. You can also control the rate in which the links increase, and how long the paid links last. The downside is that major search engines discourage webmasters from purchasing text links outright (most search engines accept pay-per-click links). In fact, if a search engine suspects that a website is trying to "buy" their way to the top of their organic rankings by manipulating the number of websites linking to a webpage, they may ban the website from the search engine.<br /><br /><b>4. Network Links (3-Way) </b><br />Network links are links that are triangulated. For example, Website A links to Website B; Website B links to Website C; and Website C links to Website A.<br />Network links are an expansion of link exchanges, and generally make it more difficult for a search engine to discern the link patterns. As a result, search engines may assess the value of network links as one-way links rather than the reciprocal links that they really are. Excessive use of network links can be more easily identified by search engines.<br />Most webmasters incorporate all the link types into their linking strategy.<br /><br /><i><b>About the Author:</b></i><br />Sharon Housley manages marketing for FeedForAll <a href="http://www.feedforall.com/" target="_blank">http://www.feedforall.com</a> software for creating, editing, publishing RSS feeds and podcasts.

But sometimes you see PSA - better known as Public Service Ads on your pages. These ads are displayed because adsense has not been able to find suitable ads for your page. Without commiting these 15 Adsense mistakes, here are some ways to remove PSA.<br />Why Public Service Ads are bad?<br /><ul><li>Most important fact is that there are no payments for clicks on PSA’s. So even if you have a good CTR (click thorugh ratio), it is of no use.</li><br /><li>It spoils the look of your site. Lets say you decided to place a big 160×600 vertical banner on your site and no ad showed, the PSA ads will have big monocolour fonts since one big ad wil be shown instead of 5 ads there, which looks bad to the surfer.</li></ul><span class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How to remove Public Service Ads?</span><br /><ul><li>Develop sufficient good content with keywords on your webpage related to the topic of interest. Google is a great fan of good content websites.</li><br /><li>Ensure that META tags like ‘title’ & ‘description’ and the headings tags like h1, h2 etc. have content which matches the rest of your site. They are main ways google judges your pages content.</li><br /><li>Add specific keywords in your text which will help the google bot to determine and understand the content of your website. Repeat related keywords which will better help to understand site content. Do not fill your page with simlar keywords, it might work against your favour.</li><br /><li>Try to keep the entire website focussed on a particular theme, so that even if the content on a particular page is lesser, the ads wil show.</li><br /><li>Do not place multiple ad units if there are not suffcient ads to display on all of them. Also Google TOS do not allow placing more than 3 ad units on a page.</li><br /><li>Use section targeting - you can target an ad unit to a specific section of your blog, as well as block out irrelevant sections like navigational links. Useful to get more targeted ads.</li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Is your site Still showing Public Service Ads?</span><br /><ul><li>Google may take time to crawl your site. Although most of the times the ads show immediately, at times it takes upto 48-72 hours for google to assess the content of newly created webpage. This usually occurs if your site has not been indexed before by Google. The time is reduced on newer pages of a site already running adsense. Google claims the ads will get better and more focussed to your pages with time.</li><br /><li>Your page may contain objectionable content. This may be against Google Adsense policies. If you feel your page has no such content, then look for any objectionable keywords or phrases which may be present accidentaly. Removing such content can cause PSA’s to dissapear.</li><br /><li>Your site maybe using a robots.txt file, which will may not be properly set up and prevent the AdSense crawler from crawling your web pages. Add the following two lines to the top of your robots.txt file:User-agent: Mediapartners-Google* Disallow:</li><br /><li>Frames may occasionaly cause difficult in indexing your page. Always remember to tick the Framed page checkbox from the Ad layout code page when generating your ad code. Similarly IFRAME’s also prevent effective indexing and cause PSA’s</li><br /><li>There may not be any ads configured to show in your region. Lets say that these ads may be working in United States, but maybe showing PSA is Zambia. This is because Google Adwords payers can select regions where to display their ads, where they believe their target surfers are. After all why should an eye surgeon in US want to promote his service in Zambia? Try using the Google Adsense Preview Tool (works on IE only) which helps to determine probable ads in different regions.</li><br /><li>Recheck your Adsense code was inserted properly on your webpage. Do no attempt to modify the code in any way, as it is against their terms of service. Adsense gives enough options to cutomisethe ad colours and sizes to suit your site. USe only the official code available from their site.</li><br /><li>Remove session ID’s from urls - they changes every time a different user views a page, and the URL will not be in the indexed everytime.</li><br /><li>Reduce your filter blocked urls. This feature is in place to allow you to block competitors ads from showing on your pages. If you block too many such urls, there may not be any advertisers left to display ads.</li><br /><li>Use the Google Adsense Sandbox tool Simply enter the URL or keywords in the box below, and you will see up to 20 sample AdSense ads for the URL or keywords.</li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Official ways to hide Public Service Ads (PSA)</span><br /><ul><li>Suggest as altenate colour to display instead of your PSA. This will show an empty space with the background colour you suggest.</li><br /><li>Suggest an alternate ad to display instead of your PSA. Your ad will show in that space instead of the PSA if their is insufficient content.</li><br /><li>Place a collapsible ad. This ad will collapse and not show any PSA at all.</li></ul><br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-18336306695503332562008-11-18T21:46:00.005+07:002008-12-21T04:55:19.944+07:00How to optimize your Alexa RankingHere is a collection of methods you can use to your <a href="http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites">Alexa ranking</a>.

He is the leader of the Blog Mastermind mentoring program designed to teach bloggers how to earn a full time income blogging part time.<br />In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else''s blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that''s about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.<br /><br />It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.Top 10 Tips<br /><br />10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is usually a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn''t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.<br /><br />9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.<br /><br />You don''t have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.<br /><br />8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need an easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that''s the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you''ve done a good job!).<br /><br />7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people''s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.<br /><br />Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.<br /><br />6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger''s article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it''s sort of like your blog telling someone else''s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.<br /><br />This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.<br /><br />5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.<br /><br />4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival enjoy a spike in new readers.<br /><br />To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at http://blogcarnival.com/.<br /><br />3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it''s so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it''s worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!<br /><br />2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn''t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it''s worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.<br /><br />How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.<br /><br />1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I''ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won''t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.<br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-71017430368718429812008-08-10T04:40:00.003+07:002008-09-07T00:04:37.048+07:00SEO Tipsyou know what type of content is really going to attract the right searchers?In this article I wanted to cover a few very basic tips that you can keep in mind when building high-performance strategies. Remember that good search engine marketing is not about trying to manipulate or "fool the search engines." Good SEO skills are more about creating genuine relevancy for well-written content that deserves to be found because it is truly the most relevant and useful to your audience of readers.....<span class="fullpost"><br /> <br /><br />What students quickly discover in the 5-Day classes is that the optimization skills are not nearly as hard as many people make them out to be (even for the most competitive phrases,) once you've been trained and understand the full scope of influences that are at work. The biggest advantage that we have had is all about the "accuracy of information."<br />1. Write content that your audience is already looking for within the last 90 days.<br /><br />True keyword research is not about 'guessing at keywords' but its all about researching actual data. How are your SEO research skills using Wordtracker or Keyword Discovery? At the SEO Workshops we teach much more than the traditional "keyword research" methods. We help students learn "Keyword Forensics" and how to quickly tap into the hidden niche trends that 99% of most Webmasters never even notice.<br /><br />2. Does your Web copy speak to the reader or does it speak about yourself?<br /><br />Remember that your Web site should be focused on your audience first and appeal specifically to a niche interest. When writing your Web copy, you need to dialog in an appropriate tone and format for the right audience. Some of the most interesting content will have more appeal if it speaks to your audience in terms of "you." You can, you might, you will, yours, your and you're INSTEAD of we, ours, we're, we will, we can, etc.<br /><br />3. Focus on writing for the human audience first and search engines second.<br /><br />While search engine optimization is important to your visibility, try writing your content first. Most people don't write their best when trying to optimize and create content at the same time. Focus on creating highly useful content that is extremely focused on one topic per page. Once you have completed your writing so that you are pleased with it, then go in to do a mild re-write for the search engines.<br /><br />4. Tips for triggering idea generation and giving your strategies a unique twist.<br /><br />While many people seem to spend time exploring their competitor's Web sites, we encourage you to lead the way with new ideas. Try not to be obsessed with what the competition is doing, but be creative and start your own new trends. Spend just a little more time working on your projects this week than you did last week. Setting yourself apart from the competition is easier than you might think and gives you a huge advantage over others.<br /><br />5. Creating your content so that it "speaks" to a specific audience of visitors.<br /><br />Think of how your Web copy reads and ensure the dialog flows smoothly. Read your work out loud and see if you can improve the tone of your message with natural expression. Keep your specific audience in mind. How you write for senior citizen (in tone and in format) may differ considerably from writing for an audience of for example "new parents." Always ask yourself "what is important to these readers?" Rely on researching accurate data to eliminate guess work.<br /><br />6. Remember strong calls to action<br /><br />Without a firm call to action, don't expect the reader to naturally guess at what you want them to do next. Plain ordinary dialog that asks the reader to take the next action will usually work best. Dialog that is written for voice (similar to the way a broadcaster writes to project their personality.)<br /><br />7. Build your search engine optimization skills in the beginning with the "stress free" approach.<br /><br />If you are new to SEO, you may want to focus on the long tailed niche phrases since most searchers are doing fairly descriptive and intelligent searches these days. Ideally you want to attract those who already know what they are looking for and just need to find your pages more easily. With practice and the right training you can go after highly competitive phrases too but you'll find that the best conversions nearly always come from the niches. Also remember that it is the basic SEO skills that carry you through and must come before any of the advanced strategies. The result will be stable top rankings that stand the test of time with minimal fuss.<br />8. Give your readers a non-threatening reason to respond right now.<br /><br />What is the objective for your page and does your Web copy work effectively at fulfilling that objective? It may not always be about trying to sell a product or a service. It should not be about fulfilling your needs first but it should be about meeting the needs of why that searcher first conducted a search. Meet their needs and deliver up something that satisfies their search first and then give the visitor a non-threatening reason why they might respond to you. Do you want their e-mail address? Or do you just want them to pick up the phone and call? Never lose sight of the fact that the Web is a marvelous two way interactive experience, if you want it to be. Make your Web site a vehicle for relationship building and remember that many readers may actually have the desire to interact and participate through Blogs or other "User Generated activity." Give your visitors something that involves their participation.<br /><br />9. Remember that your readers always want to feel like they are in control of their Web experience.<br /><br />People often use the Web for researching topics of interest or doing preliminary price comparisons or for looking up information. While most people explore the Web for their own purposes, the more that you put them in control of their experience the better. If appropriate, you may want to consider adding additional tools or functionality to your Web site in order to enhance its usability for your specific audience.<br /><br />10. Did you know that if you write your content so that it naturally "reads very well."<br /><br />You will naturally gain some bonus for having created content of quality. By this, I mean content...that reads well to a human being. Don't stuff keywords all over the place. Instead, use moderation in everything you do. One of the things you need to understand is that "theme based" search engines like Google, are actually using a measure of artificial intelligence (AI) to measure how well your article "reads" based on all of the overall context of your body text (other than the keywords) based on data that a search engine has gathered concerning a specific topic. This is great news for writers because if you are making a transition to writing for the web, you'll find some search engines are literally rewarding pages that are "well written."<br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-64369174902594423342008-08-10T04:20:00.001+07:002008-09-07T00:05:09.922+07:00Optimization your search engine rankingsKeyword and description meta tags optimization tutorial for better search engine rankings. Have you ever wondered why some web pages get higher search engine rankings than others? Of course you have, if you are a web developer. You may have read or heard of a hundred ways to improve your page ranking and tried them all. Only to see dismal results and wonder what the heck went wrong..... <br /><br />Been there and done that. So I thought I would let you in on the secrets I use to get my pages to rank high in the search engines. Once you read these tricks you might think that is so obvious I should have thought of it.......<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Here are the 10 rules I use to search engine optimize a page for keywords and description meta tags.<br /><br />1. First let's assume that you already know what the page is about and have already created it. This is not a tutorial on how to write web pages. Rather guidelines for search engine optimization using your meta keywords and description tags.<br /><br />Depending on the type of page you are creating determines how many keywords you should use. For instance a sales letter is typically 2000 or more words. In that type of page you need to describe all the advantages of your product and why it is the right solution. You will want to get testimonials and place them in appropiate places. You may even want to tell a story relating to how well the product has performed. Don't over do the page or you will lose your prospect to boredom.<br />The product page (different from the sales letter) should be between 500 and 750 words. All you are trying to do here is sell a product. Visitors that make it to these pages probably already know what they are looking for and are only looking for specific information. Your job is to convince them that your product is the right one. Beyond that and there is more opportunity for your visitors to disagree with your pitch and move on.<br /><br />The article page should be at least 1000 words and not more than 5000 words. Okay some might say that 5000 is too long and others have said that isn't 1000 words aren't enough words to describe what they have to say. Too long - some say that 500 words is good for an article page. So lets look at this: a person who can read 10 words a second will be through your page in 50 seconds. Not enough time for them to soak up your message. A person reading 3 words a second will take about 2-1/2 minutes. Plenty of time for your message to sink in.<br /><br />The average reader can read somewhere around 6 words per second. Which would take them 83 seconds to read your 500 word article. Barely enough time to get your visitors comfortable. At 1000 words the avearge reader will read your page in roughly 3 minutes. At 6 words a second your reader needs around 3 minutes to read a 1000 word article. This plenty of time for the reader to make a decision to click on your most wanted response.<br /><br />At over 2000 words the average reader will need 5-1/2 minutes to get through it. This is stretching the limit of time most visitors will spend reading one web page. At 5000 words the average reader takes over 13 minutes to read your page. This is well past the amount of time a visitor will need to decide to click on your most wanted response. If your article is really good most people will read all the way through it. If not they are off to the next website in a flash. If you have more than 2000 words you may want to consider breaking the article into 2 pages.<br /><br />Okay, back to rule #1 use the right amount of words for a particular type of page. Not too many and not too few.<br /><br />2. Primary meta keyword (the first one) must be an exact match with the file name of your page. This lets the search engines match up your keyword with your page and give your page higher relevancy. Here is an example from: Ocular Defense Formula (Pr2 and #2 in Google). The first keyword for this page is "Ocular Defense Formula." This seemingly obsure product gets 33,000+ search engine results in Google alone. So it is not that obscure after all. And makes for a good example.<br /><br />3. Use only 5 keywords in your meta keywords tag. More than that and the search engines might think you are keyword spamming and won't list your page. The search engines rank your keywords in the order that they appear. This makes the first one the primary keyword and the second one a secondary keyword and so on. You should line your keywords up in the order of relevance to the page. Here is the meta keyword tag I used in this example.<br /><br />"Ocular Defense Formula, Lutein, Bilberry, eye health, vision"<br /><br />4. Use all of your keywords in your meta description, with the primary keyword as close to the front as possible. Definitely within the first 5 words of your description. The search engines don't read your description verbatim, but can find and match them with your keyword list. So try to use them all but don't repeat them if at all possible. Again if your meta description repeats your keywords too often the search engines might think you are keyword spamming and not list your page, so don't do it.<br /><br />5. Meta description should be between 100 and 200 characters. It is important to get a solid description of your page. Less that 100 characters and the search engine may not find it relevant enough to list. More than 200 characters and the search engines may truncate it. Which looks unprofessional on your part. Truncated meta descriptions may leave searchers with the impression that your content will be too wordy and full of you know what. Too short a description and your visitors may think there is not enough information on your page and move on to the next result. So try to get your description just right, not too long and not too short. Here is the meta description for ODF.<br /><br />"Ocular Defense Formula with Lutein, Bilberry and herbs to support eye health and protect your vision from aging and oxidation. Learn how to improve your visual acuity."<br /><br />6. Line up your meta keywords up too resemble a sentence. Although search engines don't read your keywords as a sentence verbatim, it should reflect well what your page is all about. See the meta keyword tag above.<br /> <br /><br />7. Proof read your content twice. You should always proof read your work before you post for a lot of good reasons like spelling, grammar, placement and paragraph distribution. Once your page looks great proof read it again with your focus on keyword placement and repitition. You want your keywords placed in your content sparingly. What? you say. Again over use of your keywords might result in the search engines thinking you are keyword spamming. That isn't to say you shouldn't have too few. My rule of thumb is 3 uses of a keyword for every 300 words. This lets the search engines know that there is a lot of supporting content for the keyword.<br /><br />As you are proof reading you may discover that you have a much better keyword for your meta tag than what you originally thought. For instance in ODF I discovered that I had left out the keyword "vision". After proof reading my page I added that keyword to my list and used it a couple more times in the page.<br /><br />8. Put your meta description all on one line in your html code. This will ensure that the search engines reads it all. I have noticed that some search engine results leave off the second line of a description. That may leave out some of your meta keywords if that happens.<br /><br />9. Never use more than 3 words for your primary keyword (and file name). People rarely search for a keyword phrase over 3 words long. Too many words in a keyword phrase and the search engines may not find enough relevancy to list your page in the results. Two words in a keyword phrase (and file name) is ideal. For Ocular Defense Formula, I thought 2 words weren't enough to describe the page. "Ocular Defense" would have been too vague and misleading. I could have named the page something else and optimized for those keywords, but, ODF is a product page and optimizing for something like "Eye Health" would have been misleading and probably not get listed high in the search engines.<br /><br />10. Use your primary keyword in the first and last paragraph of your page. The search engines will give more relevancy to your page if they find your keywords at the beginning and the end of your page. Also your primary keyword should appear in the first 90 characters of your content.<br /><br />Bonus tip - Use your primary keyword as a text link in your page only once. Not twice but definitely once. If you don't want your visitors to leave your page make that link an "add to favorites" bookmark. On a product page this works great because you don't want to give your visitors the opportunity to go else where.<br /><br />In summary use these tips to increase your search engine rankings. Optimizing your keyword and descriptions should improve the relevancy of your page and boost your search engine rankings. Notice how I used my primary keyword and description meta tags in this last paragraph.<br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-42311069724602336602008-08-10T04:15:00.002+07:002008-09-07T00:05:44.660+07:00More Traffic With a Good KeywordIf content is king, make your keywords your servants! It's pretty simple; good keywords bring lots of traffic, bad ones don't. If you want that free search engine traffic, the first thing you need to do is to find out what exactly it is that people are searching for in the area that you are interested in. Then you pick key words that relate to your topic of interest, and that people are really searching for. You can have the best content in the world, but if you optimize for the wrong keywords you still won't get that sought after traffic......<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />For example, let's assume I am going to build a site about water heaters, and I want people to come to my site. I need to find out what kind of information about water heaters that people are looking for so I can build pages optimized for the keywords that people are really using.<br />The first thing I do is go to a keyword tool to do my keyword research. There are a number of keyword tools online, my favorite is Wordtracker. Others include KeywordDiscovery and the Google AdWords suggestion tool There is simply no substitute for doing your keyword research. With these tools you can put in a seed word or phrase, and the tools will provide you with lists of related keywords and keyword phrases that are searched for, and how many times per month they are searched for. Using these tools there are ways to estimate the size of the market for products and services, ways to optimize you web pages, find new niche markets, and much more.<br /><br />With Wordtracker I find quickly that many more people search for "tankless water heater" than search for water heater...which surprises me. Nearly as many people search for "hot water heater" as search for "water heater". Wordtracker also informs me that there are far fewer websites trying to be ranked high for "hot water heater" than for "water heater". Ah-Ha! I'll be sure to optimize a few pages for "hot water heater". In fact, I find that the terms "tankless water heater", "tankless hot water heater", "tankless water heaters", "electric tankless water heaters", and "tankless heaters" all have more people searching for them than "water heater".<br /><br />Single word keywords are very difficult to get high rankings for, so it's wise to shoot for longer keyword phrases. Three and four word phrases are what I use most often.<br /><br />After finding out what information people are looking for, and what keywords they are using to find that information, you can build the appropriate pages and optimize them for those keywords that have significant traffic searching for them.<br /><br />Now that we have our keyword list and we are ready to build our pages, where do we put the keywords?<br /><br />The first and probably one of the most important places to have your keywords are in the title tag. This is one of the tags in the head section of the html code of your web page and lists the title that is displayed in the web browser. Internet Explorer displays this tag in the top bar of the browser window. It's very important that you always write for humans. The search engines are getting smarter and smarter, and they are looking for sites optimized for humans, not search engines.<br /><br />Get some of your keywords into the keyword meta tag, not crucial but it won't hurt.<br />Make sure you have some keywords in your Alt tags for your images...don't overdo it though. Write it for humans, but try to work a few keywords in if you can. Alt tags are displayed as a popup when you pass your mouse over an image.<br /><br />The Description Meta Tag is still a valuable place to use your keywords. Many search engines will look at the description Meta tag for keywords to compare against your body copy. Yahoo uses your description tag as the description of your site in their listings. Consider the description tag just like it is named, a concise description of your site. Keep under 50 words.<br /><br />Your body copy is obviously a very important place for placement of your keywords. Remember, write for humans. If your keywords don't appear in your body copy, you won't place high in the search engine results for those keywords. Work your keyword into the text appropriately. Select one or two keywords and make the page specifically about those keywords.<br /><br />Use your keywords appropriately for humans on your site where you can. This will increase your search engine effectiveness.<br /></span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184023913114708288.post-74167890943258534142008-08-10T03:13:00.006+07:002008-09-07T00:06:07.310+07:00How to make money from Google<span style="font-weight: bold;">How to make money from Google adsense.</span><br /><br />I'm sure you have seen the sponsored ads on the right side of the giant search engine.<br />However do you know you can make money from this by your own?<br />Yes you can earn some bucks with google adsense. Did I say some bucks this must be a joke a lot of webmasters are earning thousands a month with this system.<span class="fullpost"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />How does google adsense works?</span><br /><br />This works best if you have a content rich website. Create a free account with Google adsense and they will give you a small but powerfull piece of code to add on your site or blog.

Every time a user clicks on the ad you will receive money. Depending on the popularity this can be a few cents or dollars per click.<br />And the clicker doesn't have to take action (buying a product or adding his email-adress to an autoresponder) just a click and you and Google of course will make money.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5 Tips to earn money with adsense.</span><br /><br />1) Prefer text links above banner ads. Many adsense earners can confirm that text ads will pay you more than banner ads. By the way people are tired to see banner ads everywhere on the internet. Choosing for text links means more money.<br /><br />2) Track your ads. Google offers his own channels where you can track your ads and do use it. This way you now which ad formats makes you the most money and gives you the most clicks.<br /><br />3) Do not click your own ads. Just go to some adsense forums and you will a lot of people who are banned from adsense. There can be several reasons for this but the most common is they have clicked their own ads. Google can and will ban you for that it is not worth the extra cents. Believe me if you cheat Google they won't pay you.<br /><br />4) Learn from a pro. You are not the only person who is making money from adsense. And on online forums you can find a lot of persons who are making big money from the small ads on their site. Do a search for "Joel Comm" he is an experienced adsense user who gives out usefull tips.

This tip is very powerful and it is legal to use it. By doing this your ads do not look like ads anymore and more likely to click on it.<br /><br />Adsense is a great way to make money online but you need to do some effort for it.<br />If you have well place ads and a good content site you can be sure you will make a second or even a full income online.</span>27Hourhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222132379451338615noreply@blogger.com0
