In-content related posts – how about that?

You might very well be knowing the importance of showing the related posts at the end of an article.It is great for increasing the page views,keeping the readers longer in the site and also thereby increasing the revenue [suppose if you have CPM ads].Now how about related posts shown within the content?I am not sure if you have seen such a thing anywhere yet.If you do not understand what i mean,look at the below web page on medhelp.org:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Alzheimers-Disease/preventing-Alzheimers/show/1025363

 

Here is a snap of what i am referring to:

 

 

Do you see that when the cursor is placed over the word anti-oxidants,a list is thrown up showing the related keywords?This is definitely a very cool method to increase the page views.I am not saying that the related posts plugin that people have been using till now is inefficient or useless.It is definitely useful but you need to think about this method too.I call it the “in-content related posts”

 

What is your take about it?

Interesting Business models – destroy the tunnel vision right now

Having a tunnel vision sucks big time.Most people do not realize their tunnel vision until they come across articles talking about it.In the case of internet marketing or web mastering,a lot of people get restricted to making money with PPC networks.They forget that there is an ocean of opportunities out there to make money.Well,let me give you an example:

 

Let us take the subject of emotional disorders:

If you are building a site to help people affected by these disorders,you can monetize in a lot of ways.But i am quite sure that most people will try to monetize with adsense or other PPC methods.But have you thought of some other ideas?

For example,the web master of the above site can try to use liveperson.com which has a very interesting business model.To know about how it works,have a look at the below page:

http://www.liveperson.com/experts/professional-counseling/personality-emotional-disorders/

http://www.liveperson.com/lp/affiliates/

Interesting,isn’t it?So many people get affected with emotional disorders and they are all stuck with themselves and their disorders.So you could help those people by referring to the mental health professionals in liveperson instead of using adsense ads.

 

Bottomline:ditch the tunnel vision;grow everyday,think smart,think out of the box !Think about what would help your blog or site readers.Such a thing would sky rocket your earnings for sure.When a readers feels that he is being sold to something,you are going to lose conversions.simple.

P.S.Want to know more about liveperson inc ? Here is an article that might probably be interesting to you:

http://seekingalpha.com/article/135903-liveperson-inc-q1-2009-earnings-call-transcript?page=1

Here is one of the facts found in the above article:

“And in the breakdown of our business between verticals also remained fairly steady with financial services and telecommunications each representing about 25% of our revenue flow. Retail and technology each representing about 15% and then the balance of all other categories combined making up the remaining 20% of our revenue base.”

Start link building - try out the Link Acquisition Assistant from SEOmoz

If you are confused about how to kick start your SEO campaign yourself instead of outsourcing it,i just have one thing to say.JUST START ! Do not think too much.Planning is good.But doing nothing to your marketing campaigns does nothing too.Taking action along with a strategy is a sure-fire way to success regardless of how many failures you come across.

 

So how to start the SEO campaign?

You can start it with one of the below methods:

1.article submission,

2.directory submission,

3.web 2.0 marketing

 

But wait,there is one another tool that seems a little promising.If you already know a ton of link sources,there will be no need of this tool.But if you are new and are totally confused,then this tool can come pretty handy:

http://www.seomoz.org/labs/link-finder/

 

The inputs that need to be given to this web tool is also simple.It would just take a couple of seconds and the output comes in light speed.Give it a try.

Mash the feed URLs and submit to the RSS directories

Sometimes,you might be in the mood to do a lot of article submissions for your site.That is a good thing compared to just using the comment spamming.But the problem with the article submission is that many articles might not be indexed or will not get indexed as fast as you had desired.At such occasions,doing RSS submission will be a better thing.But how could anybody do RSS submission for 50 or 100 articles distributed over 100 article sites? ?That would be a shit boring thing.In that case,here is a solution:

 

1.pick the article feed URL – do this for all 100 articles,

2.Now submit the individual RSS feed URL to the below tool,mash them and make it into one single URL,

http://www.feedage.com/blender/

3.That is it.I think you know the rest of the process.You just got to open any of the RSS submission tool and submit the feed URL.

 

Credit goes to the feedage owner for giving this useful tool.

Google Real time results integrated with SERP

Interesting article about the Search Engines History

So what do you really know about the search engines?You now that they crawl the web sites,index them and later run some algorithms.rank pages for keywords,key phrases and also kick out the spammers …..But that is not we are talking about right here.I am talking about the evolution of the search engines.And if you say that you are not aware of anything about it,it is time you did right now.Here is an article that is good at explaining the history in a small number of paragraphs instead of boring you to death with intolerable quantity of details.

http://www.webuildpages.com/jim/38/

Is there any other article that was of interest to you?Let me know and i will post it here.And keep the topic of that article to search engines and nothing else.

 

Future of the SEO:

1.dead?

2.alive ?

3.does not have any future? ….  sorry,i really cannot say anything about this because the question FUTURE OF THE SEO is itself a dumb one.And people who say that SEO will be dead have not really got the hang of it.Those would be the people who think that SEO is spamming.They should first learn about SEO and then talk about its possible future.

 

Anyway,what do you think about that?let me know.

cheers.

There is lot more other than the Search marketing

I had discussed about certain vital points about the web site marketing in the previous blog post.Now let me discuss a little more about web site marketing and also tell you a little bit about local marketing.By local marketing,what i  mean is that you are focused more on people in your local area.For example,if you are selling dresses in UK then there are certain steps that you need to take that can in fact make you attain better SERP position.

 

Attaining better SERP position can be a lot more easy if you ,

 

1.buy the correct country level domain,

2.get hosting in your country – now suppose you are targeting the UK users,you can try hosting in the UK.just google Web Hosting UK and you will be able to go through all quality web hosting providers in the UK.

 

Now the second point mentioned above is always debatable.Everybody is sure about the first point but nobody is sure if getting hosting in the UK will be able to boost the SERP positions or not.But still i do not think that there is no harm in getting hosting from UK if you are aiming the UK people.Remember that there are so many other hosting providers who are very credible.Just do not restrict yourself to hostgator or bluehost.

 

Search marketing:

 

Like i mentioned in the previous blog post,search marketing has always been great.But when all attention goes to just that,you are missing a lot of gold mines.Here are some more that can benefit you:

1.buy leads,

2.media buying,

3.create buzz by publishing in other popular niche blogs – in other words,guest posting.Guest posting will do wonders in a niche wherein there is a  huge audience.Remember that you will be able to get hundreds of RSS subscribers by guest posting in a blog where in there are already lots of subscribers.

Vital points to be remembered about web site marketing

Some of you might be marketing your website yourself and some of the web masters will try to hand that job to the hands of people who are specialized in them.But whatever you do,its fine until you realize the importance of marketing your web site.Do you know what?Just quality or awe-inspiring content is never enough to take your web site to the level you wish.Marketing plays a very important role.The initial thrust that needs to propel your web site can only be offered by proper marketing.

Anyway,i think that’s enough for the intro to website marketing.Now there are certain things i am tempted to tell you about marketing in the Internet.Here are those points:

 

1.If you are new to web site marketing then it is better to spend a lot of time getting the hang of it.Since new marketing methods are emerging every now and then,it will be hard to go through all of them.But listen to me – its really worth spending time in learning the ways to market your site.If you feel that you have other jobs that need attention,then you need to outsource marketing.The last thing you want to do is debate among yourself about whether marketing is really needed or not,

 

2.Just do not depend on the search marketing.I am amazed by the attention people have given to the search marketing.There are lot of other methods like the media buying that is drawing a lot of attention nowadays.So just look around and keep your mind open to various marketing methods.There is so much other than search marketing,

 

3.Record your ROI and keep track of all marketing methods – now when you record them all,you will be able to weed out those methods that do not give you a dime of profit.Wedding out the wastes gives you more ROI and it will actually save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.

Which is the best web host – hosting ratings

I see new web hosting providers come every now and then.So is there any particular web host that stays on top of the list always?Nope.It changes every now and then.But yeah,there are ways to keep track of the new ones and best ones.

For example,you can keep subscribed to sites that review these web hosts and give you ratings based on the services and features they offer.

 

Where can i find such ratings?

You can get such ratings in web hosting rating site.This site is just made for the ratings and reviews on different web hosts.According to me,this is the best way to keep track of the best hosting providers in the internet.With so many hosting companies coming up,you never know which ones are scam and which are good.

The reviews of the top hosting providers are listed too and they are pretty comprehensive.here is one the reviews :

Bluehost webhosting review

 

You can see the entire list of web hosting reviews in the above web site.Apart from giving the ratings,each item in the list has also been reviewed which makes it my top site for looking up for the hosting reviews.

Starting to blog in order to make money?

So if you have heard someone say that blogging career can make a good chunk of money every month,you must be very eager to start blogging yourselves.Is not that the case?I think so.Well,then,there are two options for you if you are looking to make money blogging:

1.start with a free web host – there are hundreds of such sites of which blogger tops the list,

2.get a hosting account.

 

Most people start with a free blog and once they have made a good chunk of money,they start with a pro web host.This is a good idea.But some start with the pro hosting immediately.Now if you want to do such a thing,you might want to read the web hosting rating sites first.There are lots of them reviewing the hosting companies.And they will be able to give you the top service providers.

I suppose you are in the need of a blog hosting.If that is the case,you may read the below article to know the best hosting companies for your need:

Best Blog Web Hosting

 

You can read lot more reviews in the above web site pertaining to the web hosting providers.I am really amazed by the amount of reviews put up there.They are really very comprehensive and honest reviews.

Review sites – have higher conversion rates than anything else

When a newbie gets started out in the Internet Marketing field,he think alls about how to get thousands of people per day to his site.But little does he realize that even if 5 people visit his site,he can make a good chunk of money each month.

 

Surprised …?Well,then,it means you are a newbie ..

 

Let me explain this to you how.Suppose say you have an affiliate site.It is promoting the products whose average commission is 40 USD.Now like i said earlier,let the visitors per day be just 10 ! No more dreaming of 1000 or more visitors.It just is not possible for everybody once you are a beast at doing IM or spamming [that is a different story].

Now let us say that out of 10 people,1 of them buys the product linked by your affiliate ID.So that means your earnings are 40 USD per day – that implies,1200 USD per month.Isn’t that cool?

But little does he realize that even if 5 people visit his site,he can make a good chunk of money each month.

But wait..there are two factors:

 

There are two important factors when it comes to getting great conversion rates.Here they are:

1.laser targeted visitors – you might already be familiar with this,

2.type of site – it could be an informational site,review site or an affiliate site.Let me tell you more about the review type of sites because they top the list.

 

Review sites rock – WPReviewEngine plays pivotal role:

 

The best thing about review sites is that they are not only easy to build but they also convert like hell.Getting conversions like 10 or 15 % could have been a dream to you till now.But once you start experimenting with the review type of sites,the Dream will become a reality.

One of the wordpress plugins that makes building review sites is WPReviewEngine – believe me guys.You will be amazed by the themes and the type of sites this little plugin creates for you.

 

See for yourselves:

If you want to know how the sites created by this plugin look,here is the link to it:

WordPress Review Plugin

I am sure you will be amazed.

Converting csv to blog posts – impressive !

Gone are the days when you have to write articles which is kinda boring shit.But then lots of freelancers came along the way.yet you know,you have to pay money to get those articles done.There are some who would want to get articles at the lowest possible price.And for those people,converting the data in CSV to blog posts would be the best idea.

Remember the advantages of such a feature:

 

1.1000+ blog posts without any additional cost [cost involves the money paid for the tool],

2.importing huge number of databases,convert them into CSV and then publish them as wordpress blog posts – now imagine the amount of content you will be able to get through this feature.The site would be massive,and i think you know very well about how google likes sites with massive amount of content.As time goes by and your site becomes old,traffic would literally get bombarded into your site.

3.Avoid all those freelancers – save lots of money !!

4.auto-updating – touch nothing.You will have increasing content and thereby, $$$

 

“But what tool does all this for me” ?

 

Wondering about this?Well,here is the solution:

WordPress CSV Importer

The above wordpress plugin does everything i have talked about above.And surprisingly,its really very cheap.Just go onto that site and you will be impressed.I bet.

The next big thing in IM – would it add more spam?

Twitter has already been attacked by spammers.Now that google and bing are trying to add real-time search,it adds immeasurable value to the real-time search.So does that mean spam is going to increase in the near future?it might happen.So that means Twitter has to do a much better job in weeding out the spam,isn’t it?

 

Real time Search:

 

Whenever something new comes in to the internet marketing or into the web search,everyone starts buzzing about it.But …

BUZZ DOES NOT MEAN IT WOULD WORK EVER OR IT IS THE NEXT BIG THING !!

You saw that in the case of the wolfram alpha search engine and in some other cases.There will be so much buzz when something new starts in the world of web search or even web marketing.but as time goes on and after a few weeks,buzz is lost.So will this be the case with the real-time search too??Would real-time search results be really used by people?

Let us see.I am waiting for the real time search to be released to all.And am sure so are you.

Problem with article directories and Google Indexing

Bum marketing is a great way to increase traffic to your site,let alone the cool conversion it paves way for.web masters can submit at least about 100 articles to the directories and in the process,they can get 100 or even 300 links [3 links per article] from 100 different c-class IPs.But there is a huge problem with the method of bum marketing.People starting out in the internet marketing field face these problems listed below:

 

1.many directories take way long time to approve the articles.This discourages people to pursue bum marketing for their SEO.

2.Lots of directories approve the articles.but the problem is that they do not get indexed by Google.This might due to the factor of duplicate content.

3.Writing the articles – ya,i know how hard it would be to write articles about a topic such as Grills or chairs.ha ha.But still,if you do not want to articles around those keywords,try writing articles in some other niche and link your desired web site in the author resource.There is no harm in doing such a thing.

 

SEOmoz had published a very interesting article about the limit of Google indexing a few weeks back:

http://www.seomoz.org/blog/googles-indexation-cap

Rand rightly points out that Google [and so do other search engines] cannot index every web page.This will be so true as the output from webmasters and the number of bloggers increase in the future.There has to be an indexation cap.

 

So this clearly means that Google cannot index all articles in all the article directories.It has to weed out at least the duplicate ones.This is because of the duplicate content contained in them.But still many unique articles also do not get indexed and this causes a lot of frustration.Although bum marketing has a lot of advantages and is a perfect technique for the newbie marketers,there is no doubt that there are other preferred methods over it.

Best ways to Skyrocket your revenue in the Internet

There has been a lot of buzz about the social media for the past 2 or 3 years.But the fact is that social media is not for all niches.Yes.That is true.And social media is not for everybody.So if you failed after trying stumbles,tweets and diggs,remember that it is all because of either your niche or your service.You cannot expect to get a lot of diggs for an Acai berry niche [but yeah, black hat way is possible although it would not stay long].

 

If not social media,then what else works ….

 

If you are worried that social media would not work for you,do not worry.There are lot of other techniques that are sure-fire ways to take your revenue to the stellar levels.Some of them include the internet marketing services and the search engine optimization service.Now there is nothing that cannot work if you do all these yourselves.But hey, wait…are you really familiar with all these techniques?If not,its time to get your feet wet with them.Because reading is different from practicing.If you had not optimized any of your sites before,do it this time and gain knowledge.It is when you do internet marketing that you learn – and that sort of learning is 1000 times better than just watching other IMers’ successes or reading their blog posts.It is high time you understood that you have to become  a IM guru instead of being stagnant as a newbie or a little advanced one.Improve day by day.Time is available.It is you who has to use it.Propel yourselves in to IM.

 

Take Action.

Webmastering is not ‘dream,type and win’ type of thing

Its common to see people getting inspired by super affiliates and their profiles.But how many do you think go all the way down the same road those super affiliates traveled.Not many probably.It is high time webmaster-wannabe understood that it takes a lot more than dreams to succeed in Internet Marketing.Just because you typed an article a week about your niche does not mean you deserve success.

 

Focus,draw a strategy,stick to it,blow away IM Guru’s strategies and do something yourself.You will learn a lot by doing yourselves and FAILING TO MAKE MONEY than dreaming or just reading successful people’s stories or blog posts.Like i always say,make sure to register in a couple of webmaster forums and blogs to keep your knowledge updated about IM.You can try out the UK webmaster forum blog in case you are in search of such a forum.Or if you are completely new to web mastering,start with reading web hosting reviews and getting yourself a domain along with hosting.Start as soon as possible.Do not just dream.Make it a reality.It is all in your hands – just yours !.

 

By the way,i came across an interesting article talking about PCI Compliance .You may read all about it here:

http://www.temi.co.uk/protecting-customer-personal-data/

Since it was something i never came across,i assumed that most probably you did not know about it too.

Starting and succeeding in webmastering – what does it take?

There are three stages when it comes to a webmaster’s success:

 

1.hearing the word web mastering,searching for resources and getting inspired by some IMers’ successes and fat checks,

2.learning everyday about IM,overwhelmed with too much information,becoming envious of others’ successes,

3.realizing that learning everyday about different marketing strategies and search marketing is going to take them nowhere – this is when the webmaster-wannabe plunges himself in to real action.This is when people realize that all those so-called-IM guru’s ebooks will be of no use to them if they do not take action.

Those three steps pretty much cover everything.So for a person to come through all three stages and then ultimately succeed,it takes a lot of patience,persistence and hard work.You cannot expect to sit all day,read RSS feeds,be tweeting and then say f**k off to IM.

You cannot expect to sit all day,read RSS feeds,be tweeting and then say f**k off to IM.

 

More tips:

 

1.It is better to be involved in some popular webmaster forums to be up to date with all the the new IM strategies,news and tools.You will always have something to learn each day.There is no end to that and your passion for IM success.One of the forums you can try is the Webmaster Web Hosting Forum

2.For buying or selling any web property or service you own,you may try out the Webmaster Marketplace.It is so easier to buy already existing businesses.Remember that you are not just getting the profits but also the credibility associated with the old business.It is worth buying from marketplaces rather than starting everything from scratch.

3.Take Action.Period.

Google shuts down the ‘More sponsored links’ section"

Whenever there was a need to see how many advertisers there were for a particular niche,some people used to go to the below URL for looking them up:

http://www.google.com/sponsoredlinks

 

Type the niche in the above page and you would be able to see the list of advertisers.You can also change the geo-location using “gl” parameter in the URL – that would show you the advertiser list for that particular niche and in that particular country.It was quite useful for Internet marketers.

But the sad fact is that it has now been shut down.People will no longer be able to use it for any purpose.I am not sure about the true reasons for the shut down.

 

Here is what Google says about this when i visit that page:

http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=165815&hl=en

Choosing a Web Hosting: How Long Have You Been Here?

I use different hosting plans, often from different companies, for several of my sites. Different sites just have different requirements and needs so I decided the best way to go is to get individual hosting plan for each of them. Of course, some of my sites are using the same hosting company although they are on different hosting plan. Whenever I’m on the lookout for cheap web hosting and I find a new company that offers fantastic hosting plan at an amazing price, I ask one thing to their sales team: how long have you been here?

 

Although it may not say everything, knowing how long the web hosting company you are looking into has been operating may help you get a clearer picture just how good they are. If you are dealing with a web hosting service provider who has been providing their clients with valuable services for 5 years, or even more, with literally thousands of domain using their services and available hosting plans, you would know instantly that you are dealing with a reliable service provider that you can count on. It will make your search for cheap web hosting a lot easier; you will get the best services at affordable prices.

Link building 2010 – is this going to be any different?

Most people tend to think SEO as too complicated.You know,the only thing that matters in ranking well on google is gaining quality inbound links and nothing else.And this becomes dead simple if you keep improving your site rather than thinking about hundreds of SERP factors.Some web masters keep thinking about the page rank rather than concentrating on the SERP positions and the number of leads they are going to get.Many think whether to get a .net or .com rather than thinking about the UI or the sales Copy of their site.

 

So is link building 2010 any different?

 

Not at all.The link building is not going to change at all.Most people tend to confuse themselves by saying that google changes their algorithms too often.This is wrong.Changes are not going to be done now and then but instead what you say being done quite often is the introduction of new filters.Many think this as a change in algorithm.

 

So keep building your site.concentrate on the quality of  your posts.think everyday about writing a link bait post,or generate buzz in your site so as to gain links.These are completely whitehat techniques of link building.if you are not sure of doing all these things yourselves,you can get the help of link building service.

 

Remember that the sandbox can be very discouraging,especially if you are new to this whole thing.Just make sure to hang on when those terrible things happen.Keep building quality content and your blog traffic will skyrocket automatically.

Who is failure – another Google Bomb

Danny sullivan has reported another Google Bomb and this time,Obama is the target.The phrase for which the bomb has been done is “who is failure”.Here is a screenshot [iam taking a snap since this might not be available soon if google takes action,like it has done in the past]:

 

Revenue of about.com web site – what do you think it would be?

I have always been impressed by the quality and the amount of content available in sites like about.com.Recently,i came across an article in RWW about mega-content sites.It had said that answers.com makes about at least 1.5 million every month [the data is a little different and i do not remember exactly;you can refer the article for exact figures].So that made me think about the revenue of about.com.What do you think would be the revenue of about.com?I am very sure that it is in the range of millions of dollars each month.But the exact figures?Nobody knows in fact.

 

What does google have to say about this?

 

So i turned to google for help and this is the best information i have got regarding my quest to finding revenue of about.com:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=767877

 

Here is the key point found in this article:

About.com had revenues of about $2.2 million a month for the first
half of 2005.  By 2006, revenues had almost tripled, to almost $6.4
million.  Who knows what it is at present?

The fact that the revenue of about is greater that of the answers.com is of no surprise to me.I am very sure you are not surprised either.

Pubcenter ads – Do they make a difference?

well, i agree that pubcenter wants to be a strict competitor to the adsense network but have you seen the ads by pubcenter?Here is one of them:

 

This ad was spotted on hubpages and as you could see,it is possible to show a thick black border below the ads.But doesn’t that look strange?It even looks a bit unprofessional.Anyway,it is great to see that these pubcenter ads are different [in terms of looks] than the adsense or overture.Hope there are many more customizations like these that could be made by web masters.Going off the track and trying new ad looks is definitely going to help all publishers relying heavily on these sort of ad networks.

 

And do you think that the above pubcenter ads will perform insanely in terms of the CTR?I guess yes.Despite the terrible look of the ad,i am quite sure that the CTR will be a little high.

Thinking outside the adsense box – mailing to the LIST !

Gone are the days when most webmasters/businessmen were dependent too much on the ad networks.Now anyone can make money or develop an excellent online business with the help of a list.Once you get the list of potential consumers,you can contact them and get them onto your business.But you should also keep in mind that just mailing or calling them is not enough for developing the business and taking it to the next level.Apart from contacting them,you must strive hard to make your offer/product/service the best.If you are the best in your industry,these people in the list will grow your business through the “word of mouth” marketing.You will be amazed by the power of word of mouth marketing.Anyway,that is beyond the scope of this article.Now let me tell you where you can get a list of the potential consumers.

 

Where to get the list that would really convert well?

 

There are lot of web sites offering the details about the leads but remember that a lot of people in there might not convert for you if the list has already been sold to thousands of others.So just buying a list at the cheapest price is not going to do any good to you.You need to resort to the best solution and this is why the following web site is recommended for the telemarketing lists .

http://www.tlclists.com/

 

Apart from getting the telemarketing list ,you can also get the mortgage mailing list.Now this will be very helpful if you are a loan provider.There are lot more lists that can obtained through this web site and the entire collection of lists they offer are listed in detail in the above mentioned URL.

Free flash menu,text,clocks for blogger blogs – ditch the same old menus

“One-sixth of the total traffic is completely new every given day” – says Google's Udi Manber

This is surely a jaw-dropping news from Udi Manber, Google’s vice-president of technology for core search.I was very amazed at him saying this statement:

If you look at all the unique queries we get in a particular day, about a third of them we’ve never seen before. One-third of them every day are unique. If you normalize for traffic in any random query … still about one-sixth of the total traffic is completely new every given day.

 

Forget the google adwords keyword tool.There is just so much potential which,unfortunately,nobody is using to its maximum.How is anyone going to use it?Still depending on the keywords tool data?People definitely need something else.

 

And here is the entire article on businessweek which is an interview with Udi Manber:

Don’t waste your time tracking the SERP everyday – use this free Google ranking monitor tool

Some web masters or wannabe webmasters get too excited and result in checking the SERP everyday – that is not a bad thing but what is the use when you are doing nothing to the site but constantly checking for the SERP position.The worst effect happens when you have more than 10 or 15 keywords to track.So what really is the solution?I know that people cannot pass a day without checking the SERP positions for their target keywords.

 

Use this free SERP monitoring tool to track the SERP without you typing the keyword manually in google search and seeing it for yourself.This is a must-have for all web masters.There are some other paid tools that do more functions but if you are looking just for a free one then this is a big deal.Here is the free seo tool:

Will pubcenter be released to all or just US publishers?

There is going to be no surprise when i say that microsoft and Google are going to be facing each other in a fierce competition in the near future – this is primarily due to two reasons:

1.Bing,

2.pubcenter.

 

I have checked the SERP of a lot of niches in Bing and what i have observed is that it is not bad at all.In fact,it is nearly as good as Google’s search results.I do not want to explain about the quality of the Yahoo SERP because the whole web mastering world knows that.This is why i think,perhaps,they are going to mingle with Bing for providing the SERP.It was a very good move indeed.But for people who have excellent results in Yahoo and not in Bing,this will not be a great news.

 

Anyway,i wonder if Pubcenter will be released to all or just US publishers like the YPN does.Hope they understand that there will be a lot of advertisers coming for the pubcenter network,especially after Google had banned several advertisers from the Adwords program.Everybody expects a competitor to adsense,Don’t you?

 

What do you say?Don’t you wish pubcenter opens to people all over the globe?

Now you should know that there are many ways to get links to your site, you could opt for a reciprocal linking – where you link a site, and that site returns the favor by linking you in return. This works out well for everyone. But you should be warned – this method isn’t a good one anywhere, because search engines normally give priority to those who buy backlinks.

Basically, there are millions of websites out there, and each website’s owner is trying their level best to attract customers. You need to ensure that you don’t fall behind. Generate ample traffic with the help of edu backlinks and go ahead and buy backlinks to get quality traffic. This way, you would also get more revenue. What you need to do is figure out what your target audience wants, and try and give it to them. Use search engine optimization to increase the ranking of your website among different search engines. This will make your online business very popular. That way, your business would definitely prosper.

Making money Online is hard because of all the crap and clutter floating around

There are hundreds of online guides that are sold for profit and nothing else.People do not understand that these guides are never going to make them money just because the so-called IM gurus have made cash through them.As a result,i see thousands of wannabe MMOers leaving blogging and going back to the 9-5 day job again.Their dreams are shattered due to two reasons:

1.Extreme number of clutter and crap e-books make them overloaded with information and this makes them hard to take action,

2.Not taking action and just buying every guide [whose sales page shows huge pay checks from ad networks] makes the whole process almost impossible.

 

Stop everything and do this today ……

 

Getting the proper system/guide is very important.If you do not want to buy any guide and want to learn from just free resources then that is fine .. but this will take hell lot of time.You must keep that in mind.Else you can get guides/video resources which will give you the exact plan to make money.An exact plan is what is really required instead of some crap e-book.One of the best course on MMO is the Clone Cash System – as the name indicates,all that is required from you is the ability to clone.Simple,eh?Start today and get on the track to make thousands out of IM.

 

Here is the best video course on making money online and it is FREE !

Web marketing isn’t rocket science – It isn’t dead simple to master either

Ever wondered if all that hype and buzz about the web marketing is really worth?Well,online marketing is essential for every business or a web site regardless of how large your business is.Everybody is getting in to the Internet and there have been reports recently that people have started to spend more on buying online.Thus it is high time you started to learn about web marketing or start searching for a web marketing services provider.

 

What constitutes the web marketing?

 

If you were wondering what are the elements of the web marketing,here is a short list showing them all:

1.PPC,

2.link building service,

3.optimizing your web site for increased ROI,

4.Social media optimization.

 

The third service called ROI optimization is also essential.There is no point in just concentrating on the marketing alone when your web site or the sales page sucks.You need to get the most out of your visitor.Hence the user interface plays a very vital role too.There is much more to be discussed about each individual list item shown above but that would take 1000 words.So i am keeping that aside for another day.

cheers.

How to bring lots of people to my web site?

So you have a question – “How to bring lots of people to my web site?”.And i have an answer which will be very interesting to read.I am not here to discourage people who want to bring lots of traffic through their blogs – but there is something i am tempted to tell you here.Why do you want to bring thousands of people to your web site or blog when just a couple of people can make the same money as obtained through thousands of visitors.You need laser targeted traffic and not just some fireworks of visitors to your blog.

 

How to get people to visit my web site – but is that really worth?

 

What i am coming to tell you is that it is not so easy to use the free traffic sources to bring traffic and it is so much harder to make money through traffic obtained through sites like digg or stumbleupon.The previous statement is not completely true but it is true when most of the wannabe MMOers are concerned.Sites like digg will be very useful for blogs whose monetization method mainly depends on the site’s reputation.So if you have got a digg everyday then you can show to others that your site gets diggs regularly and is evolving into a brand.This will be useful for getting ad spots.

 

But for others who blog about acai berry and weight loss pills,digg will not give a shit.So it is better to start concentrating on the following:

1.SEO,

2.PPC,

3.Bum marketing.

Hope you are disappointed with what i have said but this is the truth and those who did understand or agree with this are going to suffer a lot :D

A lost ball in the high weeds – the SEO and MMO beginners

IM,SEO and MMO beginners will be the most frustrated persons until they find the real method to make money through the internet.The truth is that is not so easy and most people never wait to succeed.What makes so many losers when it comes to the IM success:

 

1.Finding the right resources is not so easy – there is hell lot of information that it becomes too hard to get the big picture from so many bread crumbs.But whoever waits patiently and gets the big picture succeeds and the success keeps rolling like a snow ball,

2.lack of Patience,

3.too much dependence on IM Guru’s sayings,

4.Constant reading of everything related to IM but no action,

5.Bullshit e-books that salivate every IM beginner but does not offer serious advice and suggestions for success but instead throws out some shit revenue screenshots by the ad networks paid to the IM Guru.

 

“What you think you become” – if you are not ready to plan out a strategy and try everything yourselves,get out of IM pls.

Two less used Google search operators

Here are some search operators which people normally forget to use but could be very useful for essential stuff.Here they are:

 

1.Tilde for knowing LSI keywords:

The SERP is or will soon be depending on the LSI too.So if you want to know what google thinks are the right LSI keywords for a particular keyword,you can google like this:

~buy :

Here are the LSI keywords for “buy” :shop,store,price etc ,.

 

2.Define operator for quick access to definitions:

Format of the google operator:

define:”keyword”

A lot more operators can be read here:

Hope that helped a bit.see you soon.

Who said affiliate marketing sucks? It still works

Every one is buzzing about the CPA now and many people have forgot the riches made through the affiliate marketing.Well,is it true that affiliate marketing is losing its charm?Not at all.But i agree that CPA marketing has captured most of the buzz and it is easy to make money through CPA too.

 

Why most people fail in affiliate marketing:

 

=>No action,but just buying e-books again and again.What is the use of reading a Guru’s e-book.Whether it gives unique and useful information is a separate matter.Whether you take action after reading a specific MMO method plays the most vital role.

=>”What you think you become” – This is quote by Buddha and is one of my favorite ones.But does this suit the affiliate marketers?If you are not going to do anything about affiliate marketing but just surf around searching for niches and think about becoming rich through internet,nothing is going to happen,

=>Picking the right niche and scaling it up – not every niche works well for affiliate marketing.Choosing the wrong niche will demoralize anyone,let alone immense frustration to the newbies.

 

You can search a lot of business directories for more information regarding the online marketing.Remember that you must scale up all your campaigns if you want to become a IM guru.There should not be any instance of getting stagnant.Keep improving everyday and you will find enormous success in every online campaign you do.

25th anniversary of the first domain in the world wide web

New Google home page can now be seen by everyone

I hope everybody knows that Google is split testing a new home page since a few weeks.If you have never seen this page,here is the chance to watch it now live.But the truth is that there is nothing to be seen there … lol…. Just a search bar and when you hover the mouse over the page,everything else shows up.I am not sure why this was needed..may be they are doing this to make it look more awesome.Do you think there is a reason for them thinking about rolling a new home page.I am not sure.

 

Anyway,here is the new Google home page:

Web hosting: Most feasible tool

If you seriously want to take part in the internet and web business, information resource, directory, you may need to own a piece of space in cyberspace.

 

web hosting is a tool, which ensures you and anyone with a computer and an internet connection to own a piece of cyberspace. With your space, you can have news, bulletins, documents, data, files and your own post office to accept mail and all in the context of you personally or your business. This is your own space and to get this space you either have to own a piece of the physical internet with a network connection to the internet backbone and computer operating as server, offering access to your files and post office, for letting the people on the internet to view your web site or interact with you through emails. The cost of owning a direct connection to the backbone as well as to a dedicated server to a web site and email is beyond the reach for the average businessmen and general users of the internet.

 

A multiple domain hosting refers that you have to pay a single fee but will get the right to create more than one website. You can use them in different purpose like one site on your hobbies and another site on your company, or case of ‘reseller web hosting’, you can sell one site for your client A, and another one for client B. each of the websites will have its own domain name like ‘myspace.com’ and ‘myoffice.com’. But multiple web hosting is significantly different from multiple sub domain web hosting. Occasionally, web hosts or web hosting companies use the phrase ‘multiple domains’ to indicate that you can use multiple domain names in order to reach the same site. Multiple web hosting really comes into action when you have to create multiple web pages of same category.

 

While multiple domain web hosting is feasible in terms of finance, green webhosting is feasible for the nature and the environment around us. Green web hosting is best described as an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional web hosting. More and more companies are now taking the initiative to minimize the commonly used resources on the environment. The traditional web hosting operation needs a great deal of energy to power the web servers and other network equipments. To create the required energy, environmental and cooling controls, fire-suppression systems, electronic security mechanisms and internet connections are needed. And these affect a lot to the environment. However, the concept of green web hosting has been launched keeping in mind the betterment of environment. In the last several years, more and more web hosting companies are jumping onboard to make a difference as well as to make up for the damage. There are many green web hosting firms, which take proactive measures by lowering down the energy consumption in their daily business operations. Some companies run their offices on solar power to enforce recycling policies and eliminate the use of paper while some make sure that the employees get carpooled to work to cut down on the harmful emissions from driving.

Things to remember while buying a web site

Most people prefer to build their own web sites since that process can make them a lot of money in the long run.The same is the case with buying web site but there is a difference though.What really is the difference?If you wonder,let me point them out:

 

1.Now remember that web mastering gets perfect with every site you build.The more sites you build the more techniques you learn.This is the truth.If you disagree with me then that means you have not yet perfected web mastering,

2.The content of the web site – most people do not understand that the content of a site is the most vital thing that sells to your readers.This can also be called as a “ sales copy”.So if you are unhappy about the way the content is written then you either have to rewrite everything or start from the beginning,

3.There is high risk involved with buying web sites.Remember that you will be asked to pay for 12 months revenue in case of any established site.Imagine you buying it and the SERP position gets a penalty.How would you react?But i understand that the risks are involved with everything.let alone buying web sites.

 

What to look for while buying a web site:

 

=>the link building methods – knowing how the link building was done plays a key role.Remember that if the links obtained were from most of the link baits then that would be splendid.

=>the site age,

=>SERP positions,

=>Bounce rate – but these are not the primary factors to look out for though.Still this is important – it will be a better indication of whether the readers like the content or not.

There are many more obvious factors that have not been discussed here like the revenue etc,.Hope you know how to transfer your domain name since that would be required in case you are buying your own web site.If not,you can learn the whole process in detail at the below URL:

http://www.experienced-people.co.uk/1022-transfer-site-new-hosting/transfer-a-domain.htm

 

If a site has stable revenue and the link building was white hat then that means it is worth paying a lot of money.Most people tend to look for sites that can bring auto-pilot income.But it is your choice.

Do not get intimidated by the number of inbound links,instead see unique domains

So you find a niche and think of starting a blog or an e-commerce web site around that niche.So how do you decide if it is worth targeting that niche?You will see whether there is potential sales or not,and would also see if it is possible to hit the top SERP.

How to see if it is possible to hit the top SERP?

Look at the inbound links and see how many links there are

Is this what you thought really?If so,you are wrong.I would not say wrong.But it is not the best way of analyzing the competitiveness of a website.Instead what you need to do is look at the number of unique domains that link to the competitor.This is the best way of analysis since most seo experts have stressed the importance of getting linked from several domains and also several IPs.

 

How to see the number of unique domains linking to a web site?

Use the below tool to know how many domains link to your potential competitor:

http://www.seomoz.org/linkscape

 

But why is this so important?

This becomes important because some web sites would have links coming from two or three web sites which have thousands of pages each.This means you will see thousands of links and get intimidated.You would say to yourself – “fuck.this niche is highly competitive.i cannot get the top SERP!”.But it is not what you thought.

Image Resizer is a must for celebrity bloggers

Long ago, i had a celebrity blog where i was posting hundreds of images each week.Those were crazy times when i was concentrating madly on a celebrity blog – i want to show the blog here but since i totally fucked it up,i could not.Anyway that is not needed here.If you have a celebrity blog then the image resizer becomes a must since you could save lots of upload time and also save disk space in blogger.

 

So here is a resizer that does the job brilliantly.Since i am a AIR apps lover,i searched for such an app.Here it is:

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&marketplaceid=1&offeringid=10740

 

And i suggest you use windows live writer since it has got a lot of cool features.If you have 10 or 15 blogs then this will become a necessity.But remember that if you use a blog editor then you will not be able to add jump breaks which has been the latest update from the blogger team.

If you know of any other cool tool that could be of any use to bloggers,lemme know.

Hostnexus – web hosting services review

Web mastering is turning out to be a profitable business for many people and so is managing a web hosting company.This has led to the opening of enormous number of companies that webmasters are confused about which service to choose.But there is really nothing to be confused about.There are two important things that matter when you select a web hosting service:

 

1.credibility and

2.technical support

The best web hosting company that has both these features is the hostnexus.

 

So what are the other advantages of the hostnexus web hosting:

1. availability of one click installers for wordpress,joomla,oscommerce,gallery,phpbb
2. 99.9% Uptime Guarantee,
3. 24/7 Support Guaranteed,
4. 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

 

Available hosting services:

• shared hosting
• cheap reseller hosting
• VPS hosting
• dedicated hosting
• coldfusion hosting
• ROR hosting
• blog hosting

 

Hope you have now made a decision about the best Web Hosting Provider .One thing i need you to remember is that if your web site gets thousands of hits each hour then it is better to prefer the dedicated hosting.Reducing down times is very vital and this is best achieved through the hostnexus web hosting.

Do not kill your website with an incompetent webserver

Each website has its own demographics of which the number of site visitors plays an important role.But most people do not realize how important the role of server is.Today i had seen a listing for a website sale in one of the auction sites and i am shocked by the facts listed there.Why was i shocked?The admin of the web site says that the site had been down for majority of the time and hence led to decline in adsense revenue.It is high time everyone understood that choosing a hosting service is much more than choosing the service that has a lot of customers.

 

You have to choose the one that best suits your website.Suppose say the site gets a million visitors each month,would you stick with a normal server?Not at all.You would require a dedicated server so that there are no hiccups in delivering the content.

This is why i recommend the services of the dedicated web servers and the backup servers.

What … a backup server?

I guess this should have been your response after reading the above sentence.Seriously .. do you think you will not lose data under any circumstances?Anything can happen and there are chances,although minimal,that your data on the web site may be lost.That would mean a loss of thousands of dollars that receives lakhs of visitors each month.

Do not wait…get a dedicated web server today and save your website and in turn your cash flow from the ruins of a shared web hosting.

Analyzing why your web site sucks – Pingdom comes to the rescue

Did you think that the content alone is enough to produce high gravity towards the readers?Well,if you were of that notion,you were completely wrong.The load time of a webpage matters too.So it is up to you to decide whether you want the google searcher to read your webpage or piss him off because your webpage loads,loads,loads but never shows the content.

 

Thanks to pingdom .. it shows you how and why your website sucks.As you could have noticed,my blog loads a bit slow.Why is that so?Let us analyze.

 

So i go to pingdom and enter this blog’s address.Here are the results i got:

 

 

Now the green bar  in the picture shows how long it takes for the file [an image,javascript or anything else] to get downloaded to the client.As you could see,one of the files in my blog loads like hell.That is the script given by apture – so if i had removed it,the load time would have become much faster.Anyway,i am not going to do that because there are not really large amount of visitors to this blog and i feel myself that i have a lot more to offer through this blog,but am really not doing it.So i just did not make any adjustments – maybe i will do that in future.But if you have a blog that is very dear to you or is making lots of money for you then this is a very serious thing to consider.Make sure to optimize the web page and keep the load time small.Similarly you can get more details through pingdom.Just see for yourself and everything will be clear to you.

 

Go here to see why your site load time sucks like hell:

PINGDOM

 

EDIT:It is better to do the test for about 3 or 4 times and then see the average results.This is because the load time for a particular file may also be too high because of high volume connections to a web server [where the file is hosted]– but this should not always be the case.May be it just happened unfortunately while you were doing the pingdom test.So it is better to observe the average load time.Hope that helped.

 

In the screenshot above,the green button is the interval between the connection establishment and the arrival of the first byte – this is what was slow for the apture script while doing the pingdom test.

Create Uber cool pre-selling pages and landing pages

Want to create uber cool pre-selling pages and landing pages but do not want to spend money for hosting or domain?Well,you are not alone.Most of the newbies,and even seasoned marketers alike,try to use free hosting and test things and then proceed to buy a domain to scale up.So in such a case,using the blogger is not such a good idea because those templates just does not seem to work well as a pre-selling page or a landing page.Most of you might want to use a zero sidebar template and there is no way you are going to get such a blogger template.Of course you can do it if you know at least html and css,but if you do not,there is really nothing to worry about.

Here is an awesome way to build such pages and host them too for free:

http://www.devhub.com/

You can create any column template you desire and the interface is too cool to resist.I just love the web site builder and you can create up to 10 sites.But yes of course i think you know how to build more than 10 if you need really ;)

Let me know about more such cool things through the contact form.I will give credit to you too.

stay cool.

Interesting Search Marketing stats posted in SEland today

An article posted on the SEland today has some interesting stats that really should excite every search marketer and those providing the SEO,SEM services.Here are the stats shown on the article:

• Search, as an industry, is growing from a $12B industry in 2007 to a $25B industry in 2011—100% growth in just 4 years (SEMPO)
• CPC costs are on the rise—Google’s average CPC rose 15% last year
• Consumers click on natural listings 85% of the time according to research (from Forrester)
• Meanwhile marketers spend 85% of their search budgets on paid search (according to Marketing Sherpa)
• 56% of Google queries have 0 paid ads placed (each of those queries present 10 “non-paid” or natural search results (or for the forward thinking, “ads”) on the results page) (according to comScore)

It is really nice to see search industry growing by a huge percentage – i wonder where this would go when many other countries which have not yet evolved,as far as online shopping is concerned ,also become biggies in buying through the internet.Anyway discussion about that part is beyond the scope of this article.I just wanted to show you these stats posted in SEland and here is credit to the article which shows these stats:

Mistakes To Avoid While Designing Your Landing Page

Landing Page is the most important element for an online business whether you want to sell any product or want to generate any leads from your website. Landing Page is just not your homepage; it could be any page which a customer reaches either by clicking search engine results, advertisement or a promotional link. It is the first page which a visitor on your website. Having a wrong landing page will make you lose lot of money.

The Success or Failure of your online campaign depends on your landing page. Whether you want to sell any product, generate any leads or any other desired purpose you need to ensure that you avoid the following mistakes so that you can have a perfect landing page.

Complex Design: - Your Landing Page should be simple. Don’t Try to make it complex by adding lot of images, links, graphics etc because they distract the mind of visitor. It is the Fact that Simplicity Sells.

Asking for Too Much: - The Most common mistake present in Landing Page design is a Complex or lengthy action which you want your visitor to take. Try to make it as simple as possible for your user.If you want to get some information from your user then decide in advance that which information is critical and don’t ask for unnecessary information. Auto-populate the fields if possible. If you are selling any product make the checkout process short and simple.

Wrong Positioning of Call to Action: - Another big mistake which we do is the improper positioning of Landing Page. While Creating a Landing Page We think that a visitor see the landing page in the same way as we see it. But this mistake can reduce your conversion Rate a lot. A Call to Action link For eg: - Click here or Sign Up should be at Top and easily visible.

Pictures Speak More: - An image is equal to 1000 words. Landing Pages with Text are boring. A relevant image act as catalyst for your conversion process. For example:- A beautiful woman with money, smiling faces. These images send good vibes to visitor and encourage him to take the desired action

No Relevancy: - Many ad designers don’t design their landing pages relevant to the ad content. The Title and content of landing page should be relevant to the ad content. Is Possible then you should design custom landing pages for each ad and make sure the customer reach the relevant landing page on clicking ad.

Takes More Time to load: - No user wants to wait, if your landing page takes lot of time to load. A good landing page should load in less than 8 seconds. Even today many people are still using dial up connections to use internet. Your landing page should load quickly even at slow connection. Avoid using many images, videos and Flash animations to reduce the loading time of your landing page.

Having a Perfect Landing Page is very important as the success ratio of your campaign depends on your landing page.

File extension jad – what is the use really?

Have you seen the file extension jad?It is amazing to see how many extensions we have never heard of.This is one of the extensions about which most people will have no idea.So i thought i may give a little description about the files that are marked with an extension jad.

The file extension jad is given to those files that work along with the jar files in order to form a midlet suite.These are programs developed for a mobile device or a personal digital assistant.So if either the jad file or the jar file is missing,the application would not run and you need to get another file that is not corrupt.

 

What information does the jad file contain?

As you might be knowing,the jar files have all the java class files while these jad files would have information like the version number,application name and size etc,.

Hope you got vital details about the file extension jad.

this is the service i am talking about:

http://visitorcontact.com/

it works for all blogs.You can either place the code just before the end of body tag [as suggested in the web site there] or you can place the code higher if you want the contact form to appear sooner.Use your own discretion for this.I have added a contact form here so that you can share some cool widgets with me and i may also add your guest posts.Feel free to send me a ‘hey’ message or a guest post.

Ever heard about the file extension download host?

Here is a little piece of information that i think most people would not be aware of.Ever came across the file extension download host ?I guess nope.If so,here are some details about this extension:

Blogger turns ten – List of most wanted Features in blogger

“Blogger” has turned ten – i know the effect of this platform on blogging and it has been phenomenal.I just hope that it gets better – but am really disappointed by lack of updates in blogger.

Here are some things that i really want to see in blogger:

=>way to add unique meta keyword and meta description elements to each page – most people say that search engines do not depend on these tags anymore.yes,i agree with that.But still,having a proper meta element helps a lot when very low competitive keywords matter.

=>commenting in thread form – just like digg.I see many blogger admins struggling hard to reply to comments.So this is something i want to see in the future,

These are the two updates i really want to see in the future.There have been certain updates recently – many gadgets have been added.But still i feel that these are useful only for people who want to spice up their blogs.What i want to see is REAL updates that are going to optimize the blog for search engines.We want the blogger to become as good as wordpress – hardest and next to impossible ,but still why not give it a try?

One thing that is slowly making blogger a real treat ….

Yes.Despite all these disappointments by the blogger team,certain things have impressed me.Wonder what?Recently,there have been many releases of blogger templates that match the awesomeness seen in WP templates.Hats off to people like bloggerstyles.com who has give a huge list of templates that are simply superb.
