MARLBOROUGH, 11/25/2009 – People who search by clicking the button on Google’s homepage are fifty percent more likely to go on to click an ad than people who search by any other Google means, according to online ad network Chitika. The study, which looked at just over 11 million impressions, shines a light on the possibility and importance of being able to predict web users’ activity.
When comparing the different types of traffic that come through their advertising network, the researchers at Chitika compared the different types of Google traffic – people who click on the “Google Search” button, people who search by hitting the enter key, people who search from browser toolbars, etc. While the overall clickthrough rate for the entire Google-searching sample was 0.95%, the people who searched by clicking on the search button at Google.com clicked ads at a 1.56% rate, over half again higher.
Since man first touched the moon and brought pieces of it back to Earth, scientists have thought that the lunar surface was bone dry. But new observations from three different spacecraft have put this notion to rest with what has been called "unambiguous evidence" of water across the surface of the moon.
The new findings, detailed in the Sept. 25 issue of the journal Science, come in the wake of further evidence of lunar polar water ice by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and just weeks before the planned lunar impact of NASA's LCROSS satellite, which will hit one of the permanently shadowed craters at the moon's south pole in hope of churning up evidence of water ice deposits in the debris field.

Given undistinguished history of Microsoft's late and unlamented Live Search engine, the predecessor to Bing, it's easy to dismiss Redmond as a hapless also-ran in the search market.

The global economic crisis has reduced the number of billionaires and made the richest people in the world poorer, according to Forbes magazine.
Forbes found 793 billionaires in 2009, down 30 percent from a year earlier. This is the first decline since 2003. The total net worth of people on the magazine's list this year fell 46 percent to $2.4 trillion. The average billionaire is now worth $3 billion, 23 percent less than in 2008.
This cheese making country is considered to be one of the most neutral countries in the world. During World War 2, people from other European countries deposited their money in the banks of Switzerland, knowing that their money would be safer there than in their home countries. Some well known Swiss companies include Nestle, Logitech, Rolex and Credit Suisse.
A lot of people rush into a business as soon as they see an Ad or as soon as they hear info from a friend, most of these people rush out the exact way they rushed into the business. Well it’s always important to relax a little bit, do some research and find out the terms and conditions from people who are experienced in the area. From personal experience, I can tell you, it is almost impossible to start a home Internet business without spending some money on a simple infrastructure such as web hosting, domain names and so on. Therefore, here is a rough guide on how to build a home Internet business starting with basically pennies.
1. No one buys from a website on his first visit, it wasn’t as if they were waiting to throw their money in your pocket, if someone’s buying a one dollar item, they still want to know what they are buying and who they are buying from.
You have to prove your worth if you want your visitor to purchase from you.
Here’s the drill; Give your visitor something for free that helps him to solve a minor part of his major problem. This is one of the best ways to get him interested.
After the free gift divert him to your product that solves his major problem. I am sure you get my point.
Marketing through the use of email is a simple method of marketing in a direct fashion. An electronic message is sent out to a targeted audience as a level of communication for the purpose and intent of promoting and/or instructing a service and/or product. Email marketing is a common type of direct response marketing in today's virtual business world, it is important that you know a few of the "secrets" of standing out above the rest. Here, I will share some of the secrets to making money online with email marketing.
The first success strategy when it comes to making money online with this type of marketing is to make certain that you avoid "buying" email lists from the many different companies that focus on providing these lists. This may be tempting, but it is best if you create email lists by true visitors to your website that elect to sign up, or "opt in" for the emails. These are visitors will visit your website, and will be interested enough to sign up for your newsletters to learn about what you have to offer them. You will find that your email marketing campaign is much more successful if you work in this manner.
The are many ways to make money online these days. Some tell you create an online store selling the latest most popular products. Others tell you to find a cheap wholesaler and sell products on eBay. Then there are some who say why sell physical products when you can sell digital products and save on shipping costs. All three ways are good ways of making money from home but it can get confusing in choosing the right one which is right for you as a beginner.
1) Online Store In an online store you would setup a website which is filled with the latest popular products, like iPods, iPhones, Nintendo Wii systems and accessories etc. You would first have to first find a cheap wholesaler who can provide you with these products for cheap prices so you can sell it for profit. Then you need setup the website listing the products which is integrated with some sort of credit card payment system. Pros: Physical products that are already popular are easy to sell. Cons: Profit margin can be very low, setup can be tricky for a newbie.
In the recent years, the popularity of online video websites has skyrocketed. Online video websites are websites that not only allow internet users to watch the videos that are hosted on their site, but many also give internet users the opportunity to create their own videos. If you are interested in making your online video, like a large number of individuals are, there are some important factors that you should keep in mind. One of those factors is your safety.
What is nice about online video websites is that you can create just about any video you want. A number of popular video websites have rules and restrictions on the content that is allowed; however, it is understandable. These restrictions often prohibit videos with threats and pornographic materials. Even with these restrictions in place, there are still a wide variety of different videos that you can make, but you are still advised to be cautious when doing so.
Most online searches, whether for information or products, begin with a keyword being typed into a search engine like Google, Yahoo, MSN, or any one of several hundred others.
Keyword research will tell you which keywords are most popular, so you can optimize the wording of your webpages and get attention and better ranking from search engines. Keyword research will also tell you which keywords to target in pay per click advertising campaigns. But those actions are all somewhere in the future. Right now, all we want to do is identify a potentially profitable market. Good keyword research can also do that.

AdSense today announced at Adspace and on their blog that they’re developing a much requested feature for publishes - category filtering.
“Category filtering will give publishers the ability to block ads that fall into specific categories such as dating, religion, and politics. Regardless of how ads are targeted, they’ll be filtered if they’re within one of the selected categories. We’ll also show the percentage of recent revenue that ads in each category generate, so publishers can predict how filtering selections will impact their revenue.”
The feature is being launched as a beta test to a small group of publishers so don’t expect to see it too soon unless you’re in the test group. I think this will go a long way in removing those irrelevant ads that occupies space and doesnt have weight. Those ads could be annoting at times and they also carry low CTR, this is a very good innovation.
Hey guys, i know it's been a while. i've been writing my MSc Exams and i just couldn't get myself to make a post. i'm through with the first phase and now i can relax. while doing my search, i found his post on google adsense blog, it will help you.
Google AdSense program has made it easier for webmasters to make money through a website. Webmasters who run an AdSense campaign will display Google's contextual Ads relevant to the content of their sites and thus encouraging visitors to click the ads and earn money for each ad click.
However you will earn very little AdSense revenue if you don't know how to optimize your AdSense ads on your website. Here are some tips to increase your AdSense earning:
1. Focus on one Adsense ad format. The Large Rectangle (336X280) ad format seems to work better than other ad formats because this format tends to result in higher click through rates (CTR). Another reason is that the ads will look like normal web links that visitors use to click on them. It doesn't matter whether the visitors know that they are clicking AdSense ads or not, as long as there are clicking, you earn AdSense commission.
2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Select a color that matches your website's background. If your site's background is white both, the color of ad border and background should set to be white too. Also the color of the ad title should be similar to coloe of the links in your website. This is to make your AdSense ads look like it is part of the web pages. Again, this will boost AdSense CTR.
3. Don't place your AdSense ads at the bottom of your webpages because it is proven to be less effective. Displaying your AdSense ads at the bottom is like hiding your AdSense and thus leads to low CTR and AdSense revenue. Try to put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between AdSense locations can make when you see your earnings.
4. Try to place your AdSense ads near rich content as visitors main focus usually are your content. There are several ways to insert AdSense ads into your content and one of the ways is place your AdSense just after the end of your content.
5. Try to automate the insertion of your AdSense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your AdSense code in a text file, name it as “AdSense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then use SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.
These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. There are other ways to optimize your AdSense that produce high CTR also. You can learn more tricks by reading in AdSense and webmaster forums.
One of the most frequently asked questions about upcoming webmasters is “how can I effectively monetize my blog” well let me share a secret with you, the answer is not simple because you have to do a lot (mostly simple things) but sometimes you overlook the importance of these things or that you probably don’t even know about them.
Now I bet you want to make a lot of money online from your website. There are some tips and tricks into maximizing your earning potentials, Have you ever wondered why you have a whole lot of page impressions and just two clicks? Or better still, you have four clicks and it all gave you cents, or better still NO READERS. Then there is something you are not doing or something you may be overlooking.
Inbound link are links that points directly to your website pages. Now, in the process of crawling, search engines notice these inbound links. They use these links to find new pages when they want to crawl, these links are however important in how search engines rank you, the keyword or anchor text that links to you is also important to what search engines will use to find you. Sometimes you have full control on anchor text or sometimes you do not. For instance if someone is linking from his blog to your website, he will put freely whatever words comes to his mind and highlights these words before linking it. But if you are commenting to his blog, you can choose anchor text of your own choice.
Search engine do not like to point all links to the main page of the site as it does not look natural. Google prefer those links build up with some passage of time rather than appear at once. For successful link building, you need to take time and research how it’s effectively done because once the search engine robots notice an unnatural link build up, you may lose your page rank.
Search engines employ algorithms to evaluate how high a site comes in the search results when a specific keyword is entered in their fields. In this way, inbound links help your site to come in the first page of the search engine. You need some planning to place these inbound links in natural style. You should aim for: • A combination of multiple anchor text • A combination of different web page ranked sites • A combination of various web page for which the links are pointing to • An increase in the quantity of links over time • A mix of reciprocal and one way links You should take notice of these factors when a search engines decide the ranking of your website in the search results. These things change sometimes so you just have to do some readings and some researches about search engine algorithm and keep abreast with the new improvement and techniques and I recommend that you read other blogs and articles, do some search analysis and ask questions but don’t forget to have fun and make money.
You’ve probably heard the word Search Engine Optimization or better still SEO, and I can tell you, being mindful of SEO could make a lot of difference. When you set u your site or blog online, you need to know about SEO. Before we dig into what exactly search engine optimization is, we need to talk about how search engine works and why it’s vital.
Search Engine such as Google, Yahoo or MSN sends a spider to a new website, this spider is a form of program or code which crawls the website and crawling is by downloading the copy of the website into the search engine’s web server. Once the site has been crawled, it’s then indexed the information based on Tags, Keywords and the site’s content. This is not as simple as stated but it’s enough information to act with.
Now do not undermine the importance of Search Engine visitors because they are the source of natural traffic to your blog which cannot measure up with visitors that come through various forms of communities and advertizing and let me add this tip, they are more likely to click on your ads because most times this people don’t even know what it means or even that they are making money for you. Generally every webmaster needs to optimize their sites and I don’t need to explain to you that there are lots of competitions. When searching for something online, you go to your favorite search engine and input keywords, the search engine then brings out a list of a million sites, the sites you see on the first page has some unique things that made search engine list them there
So, when someone searches Google for the keyword which is the topic of your blog, you want your blog to show up on that first page of results, nearest to the top as possible. While the search engines use very complex and covert algorithms to create their rankings, there are some simple things you can do to help get your blog up nearer to the top. You should be posting on your topic and do that often, building links, using good keywords and keyword density, tagging your posts and pinging regularly
Blogging is a relatively a new happening. Some blog writes choose to keep their blogs personal and do not share their thoughts with others. These are more like online diaries. Most people like to share with everyone what he or she has to say and probably make money doing that. Blogging is a big business and many websites offer free blog hosting. In addition, many companies choose blogging as an inexpensive way to advertise their products or services. Blogging on the Internet is often much cheaper than maintaining a web site and is usually more interesting for readers and clients and most times, the difference between a blog and a blogs is traffic and you need traffic to make money online
But I can assure you, increasing traffic to your blogs should not your only goal. You are a successful blogger if u can keep your visitors coming back for more. The following are ways to keep visitors coming to your blog site.
Update your blog: The easiest way to keep visitors coming back to your blog site is to update your blog on a regular basis. Readers will stay loyal to blogs that are updated frequently. Readers will tend to lose interest in your writing if they have to wait several days for new material. Be loyal to your readers and your readers will be loyal to your blog. Also, there are literally thousands of blogs available on the Internet. If your blog is not updated on a regular basis, you might lose your readers to another blog. Another fun way to update your blog and keep your readers interested in your site is to include something fun for your readers to enjoy. That could be as simple as a joke or maybe a link to a humorous story you have found on the Internet. You might also try including a trivia game or polls for your readers to enjoy on a regular basis.
Participate in web communities: Participating in web communities or discussion forums and mentioning your blog whenever possible will help keep readers coming back to your site. In addition, you can gain new readers when doing this. You can also be loyal to the blogs of other writers by following their blogs and communicating with them. Leave nice comments about their blog and invite them to your site. If you have mutual interests and the same type of readers, you can even share your blog links on your site. This helps everyone. Your reader will appreciate interesting reading while you benefit from readers from the other site.
Understand your Language: Another way for you to keep visitors coming is to understand your language. If your blog is about pregnancy tips, your audience is generally going to be mature ladies and you don’t want to use foul or offensive languages. If you are talking about relationships, don’t tell us your religious views even if you have one, you don’t want to piss off your readers and if your blog is about making money, you have to be honest not just promoting something because of your personal gains. If you compromise your language, your readers will know and it will affect your traffic.
Include keywords: You can gain readership and help keep your current readers by including certain keywords in your blog. If you have entered your blog on a search engine, these keywords that point to your blog will come up after a search. This is a great way to get readers interested in your blog. This is also a good way for companies to increase the traffic to their blog.
If you want to make your blog stand out against the thousands of other blogs, keep your readers interested and coming back for more everyday by updating your writing, participate in online communities, understand your language and include keywords. follow these tips and making money online gets easier
Let me tell you now, finding a profitable niche is very important if you want to blog for money as well as affiliate marketing and a lot of people underestimate this. A niche is an idea or topic, which is very popular online, but which also, does not have millions and millions of competing websites related to that topic thereby enhancing your chances of high earnings and if you want to know, you don’t have to spend money on this because there are free tools you can explore online. For some of you, coming up with a clear idea to move forward with is easy. For others, it may take an even harder nudge to get you going in the right direction. Some of you want to use your personal interests, ideas and ambitions and put them into your plan of action. Others (you know who you are) don't care what it's about as long as it is going to make you cold hard cash!
Finding a niche is not just about the profitable topic or product alone, you have to think about yourself and ask; can I keep up with this? You need to find out what you like, your hobbies and what you enjoy doing and mostly, what you talk about. Write them down and they might out to be more profitable than you think. But if money is your drive, I think u will do well with any topic with a little extra work.
Next you need to brainstorm and that’s where u have to do a lot of mental analysis although some items or services might be really in demand at the moment, it does not mean that you will make a load of money from the idea. That’s why you need to analyze what people are really into, what keyword they are typing into Google and other search engine and how many times per day there are free tools available that you can use, sites like Google technorati dogpile. For example, when people go to Google and type in “buy golf clubs online” – that is a key phrase. The person is seeking to purchase golf clubs online. Your goal (if you were the webmaster or person selling golf clubs online) would be to have your website show up in the top 5 or top 10 list of websites that Google pulls up when that key phrase is typed in. In order to achieve the top ranking, you must understand how to conduct research and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Wordtracker and Search Engine Optimization go hand-in-hand, and it’s of paramount importance that you understand how to research, optimize and pull the two together. Here are varieties of completely free research tools, which you can use to find your niche for blogging as well as affiliate marketing, alexa, nichebot, technorati, rankpulse, yahoo’s keyword tool and lot’s more.
So I think you need to act before you act, don’t just jump into blogging, do a little research because it may be a very good decision in the long run.
MARLBOROUGH, 11/25/2009 – People who search by clicking the button on Google’s homepage are fifty percent more likely to go on to click an ad than people who search by any other Google means, according to online ad network Chitika. The study, which looked at just over 11 million impressions, shines a light on the possibility and importance of being able to predict web users’ activity.
When comparing the different types of traffic that come through their advertising network, the researchers at Chitika compared the different types of Google traffic – people who click on the “Google Search” button, people who search by hitting the enter key, people who search from browser toolbars, etc. While the overall clickthrough rate for the entire Google-searching sample was 0.95%, the people who searched by clicking on the search button at Google.com clicked ads at a 1.56% rate, over half again higher.

1. Bronze (Requires 3 people)
2. Silver (Requires 4 people)
3. Gold (Requires 5 people)
4. Platinum (Requires 6 people)
5. Diamond (Requires 7 people As soon as the required number of people registers through you, a congratulatory SMS will be sent to you and then your laptop will be delivered to you.
How do I register?
1. Pay N15,000 (non-refundable "partnership fee") into any of their bank accounts. (I deliberately didn’t include their account numbers here because I want you to also visit flipafrica.org/pt041123823 to personally get information about the initiative and ask them any further questions you may have).
2. Decide the package you’re ok with and fill the registration form. NOTE THAT your payment bank teller number will be required, so keep it safe. A confirmatory text message and e-mail containing your referral code will be sent into your phone and e-mail address as soon as your payment is confirmed.
The referral code included in that message is what you’ll give your friends to register with. More benefits?Yes! You’ll be paid N2,000 for every additional person who registers using your referral code after you must have gotten your laptop. That is, if 200 people registers with referral code after you have your laptop, you’ll be paid N2,000 X 200 = N400,000! (Now you should understand what I’m up to).
How do I get people?
The same reason you’re interested is the same reason your friends will be interested, because everyone needs a laptop. For instance, I had a laptop before I heard about this initiative… and I got another through FLIP Africa barely 2 weeks from the day I first heard about it just by telling my friends. As at the moment I was preparing this, 5 out of the 7 folks that registered through me already have their laptops! Well, back to how to get people:
1. Tell your friends. If they don’t believe you, have them contact me (Gideon: 08060071837 or through email: bankolegideon@yahoo.com

3. Tell people online on Face Book, Chat Rooms, and other Social Networking websites The truth is, everyone needs this, and you’ll be doing people a BIG favor by informing them how they can acquire a laptop with just N15,000. You’ll be surprised at how much result you’ll generate! So what are you waiting for?

Here, I will share some of the secrets to making money online with email marketing.
The first success strategy when it comes to making money online with this type of marketing is to make certain that you avoid "buying" email lists from the many different companies that focus on providing these lists. This may be tempting, but it is best if you create email lists by true visitors to your website that elect to sign up, or "opt in" for the emails. These are visitors will visit your website, and will be interested enough to sign up for your newsletters to learn about what you have to offer them. You will find that your email marketing campaign is much more successful if you work in this manner.
The are many ways to make money online these days. Some tell you create an online store selling the latest most popular products. Others tell you to find a cheap wholesaler and sell products on eBay.

Cons: Profit margin can be very low, setup can be tricky for a newbie.
In the recent years, the popularity of online video websites has skyrocketed. Online video websites are websites that not only allow internet users to watch the videos that are hosted on their site, but many also give internet users the opportunity to create their own videos. If you are interested in making your online video, like a large number of individuals are, there are some important factors that you should keep in mind. One of those factors is your safety.
What is nice about online video websites is that you can create just about any video you want. A number of popular video websites have rules and restrictions on the content that is allowed; however, it is understandable. These restrictions often prohibit videos with threats and pornographic materials. Even with these restrictions in place, there are still a wide variety of different videos that you can make, but you are still advised to be cautious when doing so.
Most online searches, whether for information or products, begin with a keyword being typed into a search engine like Google, Yahoo, MSN, or any one of several hundred others.
Keyword research will tell you which keywords are most popular, so you can optimize the wording of your webpages and get attention and better ranking from search engines. Keyword research will also tell you which keywords to target in pay per click advertising campaigns. But those actions are all somewhere in the future. Right now, all we want to do is identify a potentially profitable market. Good keyword research can also do that.

AdSense today announced at Adspace and on their blog that they’re developing a much requested feature for publishes - category filtering.
“Category filtering will give publishers the ability to block ads that fall into specific categories such as dating, religion, and politics. Regardless of how ads are targeted, they’ll be filtered if they’re within one of the selected categories. We’ll also show the percentage of recent revenue that ads in each category generate, so publishers can predict how filtering selections will impact their revenue.”
The feature is being launched as a beta test to a small group of publishers so don’t expect to see it too soon unless you’re in the test group. I think this will go a long way in removing those irrelevant ads that occupies space and doesnt have weight. Those ads could be annoting at times and they also carry low CTR, this is a very good innovation.
Hey guys, i know it's been a while. i've been writing my MSc Exams and i just couldn't get myself to make a post. i'm through with the first phase and now i can relax. while doing my search, i found his post on google adsense blog, it will help you.
Google AdSense program has made it easier for webmasters to make money through a website. Webmasters who run an AdSense campaign will display Google's contextual Ads relevant to the content of their sites and thus encouraging visitors to click the ads and earn money for each ad click.
However you will earn very little AdSense revenue if you don't know how to optimize your AdSense ads on your website. Here are some tips to increase your AdSense earning:
1. Focus on one Adsense ad format. The Large Rectangle (336X280) ad format seems to work better than other ad formats because this format tends to result in higher click through rates (CTR). Another reason is that the ads will look like normal web links that visitors use to click on them. It doesn't matter whether the visitors know that they are clicking AdSense ads or not, as long as there are clicking, you earn AdSense commission.
2. Create a custom palette for your ads. Select a color that matches your website's background. If your site's background is white both, the color of ad border and background should set to be white too. Also the color of the ad title should be similar to coloe of the links in your website. This is to make your AdSense ads look like it is part of the web pages. Again, this will boost AdSense CTR.
3. Don't place your AdSense ads at the bottom of your webpages because it is proven to be less effective. Displaying your AdSense ads at the bottom is like hiding your AdSense and thus leads to low CTR and AdSense revenue. Try to put them in the place where people can see them quickly. You will be amazed how the difference between AdSense locations can make when you see your earnings.
4. Try to place your AdSense ads near rich content as visitors main focus usually are your content. There are several ways to insert AdSense ads into your content and one of the ways is place your AdSense just after the end of your content.
5. Try to automate the insertion of your AdSense code into the webpages using SSI (or server side included). Ask your web administrator if your server supports SSI or not. How do you do it? Just save your AdSense code in a text file, name it as “AdSense text”, and upload it to the root directory of the web server. Then use SSI, call the code on other pages. This tip is a time saver especially for those who are using automatic page generators to generate pages on their website.
These are some of the tips that have worked well for some who want to generate hundreds and even thousands on their websites. There are other ways to optimize your AdSense that produce high CTR also. You can learn more tricks by reading in AdSense and webmaster forums.
One of the most frequently asked questions about upcoming webmasters is “how can I effectively monetize my blog” well let me share a secret with you, the answer is not simple because you have to do a lot (mostly simple things) but sometimes you overlook the importance of these things or that you probably don’t even know about them.
Now I bet you want to make a lot of money online from your website. There are some tips and tricks into maximizing your earning potentials, Have you ever wondered why you have a whole lot of page impressions and just two clicks? Or better still, you have four clicks and it all gave you cents, or better still NO READERS. Then there is something you are not doing or something you may be overlooking.
Inbound link are links that points directly to your website pages. Now, in the process of crawling, search engines notice these inbound links. They use these links to find new pages when they want to crawl, these links are however important in how search engines rank you, the keyword or anchor text that links to you is also important to what search engines will use to find you. Sometimes you have full control on anchor text or sometimes you do not. For instance if someone is linking from his blog to your website, he will put freely whatever words comes to his mind and highlights these words before linking it. But if you are commenting to his blog, you can choose anchor text of your own choice.
Search engine do not like to point all links to the main page of the site as it does not look natural. Google prefer those links build up with some passage of time rather than appear at once. For successful link building, you need to take time and research how it’s effectively done because once the search engine robots notice an unnatural link build up, you may lose your page rank.
Search engines employ algorithms to evaluate how high a site comes in the search results when a specific keyword is entered in their fields. In this way, inbound links help your site to come in the first page of the search engine. You need some planning to place these inbound links in natural style. You should aim for: • A combination of multiple anchor text • A combination of different web page ranked sites • A combination of various web page for which the links are pointing to • An increase in the quantity of links over time • A mix of reciprocal and one way links You should take notice of these factors when a search engines decide the ranking of your website in the search results. These things change sometimes so you just have to do some readings and some researches about search engine algorithm and keep abreast with the new improvement and techniques and I recommend that you read other blogs and articles, do some search analysis and ask questions but don’t forget to have fun and make money.
You’ve probably heard the word Search Engine Optimization or better still SEO, and I can tell you, being mindful of SEO could make a lot of difference. When you set u your site or blog online, you need to know about SEO. Before we dig into what exactly search engine optimization is, we need to talk about how search engine works and why it’s vital.
Search Engine such as Google, Yahoo or MSN sends a spider to a new website, this spider is a form of program or code which crawls the website and crawling is by downloading the copy of the website into the search engine’s web server. Once the site has been crawled, it’s then indexed the information based on Tags, Keywords and the site’s content. This is not as simple as stated but it’s enough information to act with.
Now do not undermine the importance of Search Engine visitors because they are the source of natural traffic to your blog which cannot measure up with visitors that come through various forms of communities and advertizing and let me add this tip, they are more likely to click on your ads because most times this people don’t even know what it means or even that they are making money for you. Generally every webmaster needs to optimize their sites and I don’t need to explain to you that there are lots of competitions. When searching for something online, you go to your favorite search engine and input keywords, the search engine then brings out a list of a million sites, the sites you see on the first page has some unique things that made search engine list them there
So, when someone searches Google for the keyword which is the topic of your blog, you want your blog to show up on that first page of results, nearest to the top as possible. While the search engines use very complex and covert algorithms to create their rankings, there are some simple things you can do to help get your blog up nearer to the top. You should be posting on your topic and do that often, building links, using good keywords and keyword density, tagging your posts and pinging regularly
Blogging is a relatively a new happening. Some blog writes choose to keep their blogs personal and do not share their thoughts with others. These are more like online diaries. Most people like to share with everyone what he or she has to say and probably make money doing that. Blogging is a big business and many websites offer free blog hosting. In addition, many companies choose blogging as an inexpensive way to advertise their products or services. Blogging on the Internet is often much cheaper than maintaining a web site and is usually more interesting for readers and clients and most times, the difference between a blog and a blogs is traffic and you need traffic to make money online
But I can assure you, increasing traffic to your blogs should not your only goal. You are a successful blogger if u can keep your visitors coming back for more. The following are ways to keep visitors coming to your blog site.
Update your blog: The easiest way to keep visitors coming back to your blog site is to update your blog on a regular basis. Readers will stay loyal to blogs that are updated frequently. Readers will tend to lose interest in your writing if they have to wait several days for new material. Be loyal to your readers and your readers will be loyal to your blog. Also, there are literally thousands of blogs available on the Internet. If your blog is not updated on a regular basis, you might lose your readers to another blog. Another fun way to update your blog and keep your readers interested in your site is to include something fun for your readers to enjoy. That could be as simple as a joke or maybe a link to a humorous story you have found on the Internet. You might also try including a trivia game or polls for your readers to enjoy on a regular basis.
Participate in web communities: Participating in web communities or discussion forums and mentioning your blog whenever possible will help keep readers coming back to your site. In addition, you can gain new readers when doing this. You can also be loyal to the blogs of other writers by following their blogs and communicating with them. Leave nice comments about their blog and invite them to your site. If you have mutual interests and the same type of readers, you can even share your blog links on your site. This helps everyone. Your reader will appreciate interesting reading while you benefit from readers from the other site.
Understand your Language: Another way for you to keep visitors coming is to understand your language. If your blog is about pregnancy tips, your audience is generally going to be mature ladies and you don’t want to use foul or offensive languages. If you are talking about relationships, don’t tell us your religious views even if you have one, you don’t want to piss off your readers and if your blog is about making money, you have to be honest not just promoting something because of your personal gains. If you compromise your language, your readers will know and it will affect your traffic.
Include keywords: You can gain readership and help keep your current readers by including certain keywords in your blog. If you have entered your blog on a search engine, these keywords that point to your blog will come up after a search. This is a great way to get readers interested in your blog. This is also a good way for companies to increase the traffic to their blog.
If you want to make your blog stand out against the thousands of other blogs, keep your readers interested and coming back for more everyday by updating your writing, participate in online communities, understand your language and include keywords. follow these tips and making money online gets easier
Let me tell you now, finding a profitable niche is very important if you want to blog for money as well as affiliate marketing and a lot of people underestimate this. A niche is an idea or topic, which is very popular online, but which also, does not have millions and millions of competing websites related to that topic thereby enhancing your chances of high earnings and if you want to know, you don’t have to spend money on this because there are free tools you can explore online. For some of you, coming up with a clear idea to move forward with is easy. For others, it may take an even harder nudge to get you going in the right direction. Some of you want to use your personal interests, ideas and ambitions and put them into your plan of action. Others (you know who you are) don't care what it's about as long as it is going to make you cold hard cash!
Finding a niche is not just about the profitable topic or product alone, you have to think about yourself and ask; can I keep up with this? You need to find out what you like, your hobbies and what you enjoy doing and mostly, what you talk about. Write them down and they might out to be more profitable than you think. But if money is your drive, I think u will do well with any topic with a little extra work.
Next you need to brainstorm and that’s where u have to do a lot of mental analysis although some items or services might be really in demand at the moment, it does not mean that you will make a load of money from the idea. That’s why you need to analyze what people are really into, what keyword they are typing into Google and other search engine and how many times per day there are free tools available that you can use, sites like Google technorati dogpile. For example, when people go to Google and type in “buy golf clubs online” – that is a key phrase. The person is seeking to purchase golf clubs online. Your goal (if you were the webmaster or person selling golf clubs online) would be to have your website show up in the top 5 or top 10 list of websites that Google pulls up when that key phrase is typed in. In order to achieve the top ranking, you must understand how to conduct research and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Wordtracker and Search Engine Optimization go hand-in-hand, and it’s of paramount importance that you understand how to research, optimize and pull the two together. Here are varieties of completely free research tools, which you can use to find your niche for blogging as well as affiliate marketing, alexa, nichebot, technorati, rankpulse, yahoo’s keyword tool and lot’s more.
So I think you need to act before you act, don’t just jump into blogging, do a little research because it may be a very good decision in the long run.
