Well, the major way you'll get visitors to see your website (other then using AdWords, which is encouraged as well) is to use some techniques to have search engines send more and more users towards your page, by ranking high in search results for your topics of interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Believe it or not this is a technique, better known as search-engine optimization or simply SEO. So here are a bunch of tips that come handy under every amateur or professional optimizer's belt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing you need to take care of is the actual source code and layout of your page. This has to be kept as simple as possible. The problem comes when AdSense and the search engines themselves begin to have troubles in extracting the most relevant keywords on your site because of a too complex layout.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, try to have each one of your pages target only one specific topic. This way it is a lot easier for them to get indexed properly and for the AdSense ads to be consistent with the content of the site itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, try not to include too many hyperlinks in your page as well. This also means you should try not to use too many AdSense ads on your page either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there are certain keywords you wish to target, make sure the word you wish to target is present in the title, in the first paragraphs as well as in the name of the file. While you're at it you might want to ensure the word springs up in the page's last paragraphs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, it's very important for your content to have original and compelling content. How do you do this? Well the easiest way to do it is to find something you're really passionate about. That way, providing you give it a lot of effort you're bound to have a great page quite fast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the content you use in your site is in the public domain (which is highly discouraged) make sure that you at least give it an original title, and add an opening and a closing paragraph of your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This takes a little while, but if, after waiting, you still can't find your page near the top, you should try rewriting your title and your first and last paragraphs. It doesn't take much, often just changing a few words will give you the right results. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of, course there's the use of keyword tools that may aid you in finding some good keywords to include on your page that will drive visitors to your site more and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So those are about the basic techniques in search engine optimization. You can find a lot of computer tools to aid you in doing this, and of course, Google is a great place to search for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, you'll find that SEO is a complex topic, and entire books have been written on the topic as well. You might find that you have a lot of optimization you need to do in order to get more and more visitors to your site and clicking those precious AdSense banners.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-7513914603843893595?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/MQA1CQ9kwoA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/MQA1CQ9kwoA/seo-for-adsense.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2012/05/seo-for-adsense.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-6040523485487756902</guid><pubDate>Sat, 12 May 2012 14:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-05-12T07:51:32.589-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Where Adsense Should Appear</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;When deciding whether to incorporate Adsense into your website there are several factors to consider. Many feel that it diminishes their brand, whilst others see it as a useful tool for visitors which creates revenues and makes their content profitable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The choice can largely come down to the commercial goals and the purpose of your website. Many businesses who sell products decide to place Adsense adverts within their website. This would appear to be a strange choice, opening up opportunities for rivals to promote their service or product to your potential customer base.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many publishers claim that they are only doing this to allow companies who provide ancillary services to advertise. These claims have some merit, as those who for example sell pillows could provide those who sell bedding with an opportunity to advertise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Although this would make sense, there are still those online retailers who allow rivals to penetrate their audience. Many claim that there are still benefits in allowing your direct competitors to advertise within your website. One of these is that ultimately if visitors wish to see your competitors they would be able to see them through a Google search regardless. This may be true however the thought of an established brand like coco-cola having a Pepsi advert in their website is not even a possibility.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another factor which is considered in this situation is that publishers do not feel that Adsense is effective in making conversions. They feel that visitors who would click on adverts are not highly qualified customers, as they would quickly navigate to the materials or products that interest them if they were.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Despite Adsense being a questionable choice for online retailers, it is surely a good supplementary service for other varieties of online publishers. For example, a website which provides a free service like dictionary.com gets high levels of traffic, and is able to make their service profitable through adsense. This has been the case for Bloggers who originally provided content free of charge, being unable to reach the scale that is necessary to contract with advertisers directly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This could also apply to other previously free services, including wider forms of information broadcast, and news for example. In 2006 a man who later published a selection of Videos claims to make $19,000 a month through adsense, claiming that he was also contacted through Google to help him increase the CTR (Click Through Rate) that he achieved. The thought of success like this has been a major factor in stimulating online publishers to opt for Adsense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many publishers also claim that adsense makes their website look more professional. Those who are able to contract with advertisers are generally seen to provide a service with large appeal, and therefore those unfamiliar with the program may feel that the Adsense advertiser is in this position.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Adsense however, is also aligned with those publishers who use the service purely to provide links to adverts. Everyone has done a Google search, clicked on an Adwords advert and came into a website which reads top ten resources on… This is a major problem, as is generally something that surfers find frustrating. If people see that it says adverts by Google, and they then see adverts by Google on another site, they may align that site with consumer unfriendly practices. This is therefore an issue which Google has to address, to maintain Adsense as a reputable service.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Regardless of the disadvantages and the websites for which the service may be inappropriate it is still a useful tool for website visitors. Those who visit a website, and click on a link provide revenues for the publisher, whilst those who provide free services are able to generate revenue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The only fear that Google has, is that rival PPC programs offer better deals to publishers and they decide to go elsewhere, therefore taking advertisers with them. However, ultimately it is best for advertisers and publishers if they largely remain in same PPC circuit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-6040523485487756902?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/3LjM0Md0BBQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/3LjM0Md0BBQ/where-adsense-should-appear.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2012/05/where-adsense-should-appear.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-5157984682594860962</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-04-19T17:36:29.754-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Turning Traffic in to Adsense Traffic</title><description>If you've been running AdSense ads on your site for quite a while and you feel that you aren't making as much cash as you could, in 99.99% of cases you're right. Most people feel frustrated that they cannot generate the revenues they expected, and this is down to traffic levels as well as click through rates. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many ways to turn traffic into AdSense traffic and here is a short list of them with a description for each.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing that you need to do is tune up your site's contents. While for some people this isn't an option (if you're running a forum for example it's a lot harder) most people can make their AdSense sites veritable cash cows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin, you should find out what your site's keywords are. This is a basic technique in SEO (search engine optimization) known as keyword density verification. A good tool for this job is SEO Density Analizer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should then take this list of words and search the Overture Search Inventory or Google AdWords Sandbox to find out what other words could be doing better then what you currently have. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From that point on try to keep your site focused on the things that appear mostly in the keyword suggestions you receive. Try to include those keywords, or at least some related keywords as often as you can in the links on your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the way Google AdSense works this is a sure way to increase your earnings because you'll get better ads in your AdSense banners, similar to how you would get a better Google PageRank&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also important that you continuously add new pages to your site. This is very important, as the more pages you have, the higher the chance is that you'll get more hits on your ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also very important that you choose the appropriate formats for your AdSense banners and the best locations for them. While this is a much wider subject you should generally know that the top three Google AdSense formats are: 336x280 large rectangle 300x250 medium rectangle and 160x600 skyscraper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you choose the appropriate colors for the ads, as making them too different from your site's content (or just different in a bad way) is sure to make visitors regard them as banners which have nothing to do with the site itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure these ads are positioned where they'll generate the highest amount of profit. Most times, that location is said to be right before the beginning of your site's actual content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On pages with a long text body, you might find skyscrapers to do better, simply because users get exposed to them for more time. Also, for sites with news or similar items, you might find a good position to be at the bottom of your content, because that's when people are finished reading your story and are looking for something else to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should use more AdSense units if you have a lot of text on your page. Just make sure not to overdo it because you might find that you will get a lot lower CTR and lower revenues then you were getting in the first place by employing this technique inappropriately. You can add as many as three units, so use them wisely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a Google AdSense Preview Tool that will let you visualize what ads would get served on your page and it can come in very handy as a testing mechanism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just make sure you respect the AdSense policy regarding click fraud. As a pointer you could place a picture next to your adds, just make sure to leave some room in between in order to make sure this isn't regarded as encouraging visitors to click the link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course there are more ways to increase AdSense traffic from your site, but these should serve as a good starting point for income maximization.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-5157984682594860962?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/0wygEivTDh0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/0wygEivTDh0/turning-traffic-in-to-adsense-traffic.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2012/04/turning-traffic-in-to-adsense-traffic.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-1210985889062045581</guid><pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-04-16T14:48:30.378-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Adsense Alternatives</title><description>Many people have started using Google's AdSense program, but there are some who find it a bit too uncertain or simply not suiting their own requirements from an ad program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many alternatives to AdSense which attempt to alleviate some of its shortcomings. Here is a list of the most noteworthy ones from the lot with a description concerning each one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AllFeeds (http://www.allfeeds.com/?action=publishers)&lt;br /&gt;AllFeeds has a great pool of online advertisers to choose from. It also features many display formats that you can choose from. These include banners, buttons, XML feeds, DHTML pop-ups and so on. It also features real time reporting of your ad status. The site will mail a check every month, provided that you earn more then $25.00, while rolling over earnings for the next month if you don't. Another interesting thing about AllFeeds is that it integrates with Google AdSense, maximizing your earnings with AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MarketBanker (http://www.marketbanker.com/mb/sell.php)&lt;br /&gt;MarketBanker allows you the unique possiblity to set the pricing for your site. It also allows you to allow or reject any link that appears on your site (although AdSense itself does a very good job of this as well, with URL filters) There's also a statistics section which will allow you to see how well your site is doing. The ads are small just like AdSense's and they're just as easy to set up. Also, registration for MarketBanker is free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BidClix ( http://www.bidclix.com/PubTop.html)&lt;br /&gt;BidClix is different because it has advertisers compete for clicks on your site, which in turn is meant to generate the highest possible profits for your page. It also has a very large pool of advertisers which ensure there are plenty of people to choose your site. However, it does require more polish on site contents then AdSense. As most sites, real time statistics are available and its very easy to get started with this service, but it's also very flexible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chitika (http://www.realcontext.com/index.php?option=RealContext:+Contextual+Targeting+Engine)&lt;br /&gt;RealContext uses Artificial intelligence to retrieve the most relevant ads for your page. And there's an extra feature which makes RealContext unique as well. Keywords are selected based upon which previous selections payed off and which didn't. That means there's a constant feedback process that ensures you gain better revenue from your ads. It also supports blocking certain adds and child-safe filtering and many more options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdHearus (http://adhearus.com/webmaster.php)&lt;br /&gt;AdHearus is a very feature-packed contextual ad provider. As with AdSense, advertisements are targeted but it doesn't stop here at all. The ads are very flexible, you can select from text-ads, banners, rectangles, pop-ups, pop-unders or skyscrapers. You can also display your own ads, through rotation, both on your site and on other affiliate sites, which makes AdHearus a hybrid with conventional advertising technologies. There's a very comprehensive on-line real time reporting feature and, as usual with such services, starting out is free and it's a breeze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AffiliateSensor (http://www.affiliatesensor.com/)&lt;br /&gt;AffiliateSensor has highly customizable ad blocks, which you can make for yourself with an easy to use on-line interface. You also get realtime reporting with clicks-by-domain, page and refferer. There's integration with Google AdSense as well, through the google_alternate_ad_url so AffiliateSensor can be used as a substitute for Google PSA's (Public Service Ads).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kanoodle Bright Ads (http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.cool)&lt;br /&gt;Kanoodle's offering allows publishers to get ads related to topics or segments, and not the traditional keyword oriented ads. The site also groups publisher sites with advertisers by hand to ensure high-revenue generating ads. And speaking of revenue, the amount of money you receive is a clear 50% share of the amount of money Kanoodle recieves for an advertiser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TargetPoint (http://publisher.targetpoint.com)&lt;br /&gt;TargetPoint is oriented more towards content publishers. It offers full control over the look the ads, statistics over your site's overall performance and better revenue. It's free to register and you earn a guaranteed 60% of the total revenue. You can get payed with Paypal of Bank checks and (most times) wire transfers as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clicksor (http://www.clicksor.com)&lt;br /&gt;Clicksor will earn you as much as 60% from the amount of money your website produces. What you get is about the same as AdSense, there are targeted text ads, you can view the revenues from your website in real time. You can receive money via PayPal or through a check every two weeks, provided that you have earned more then $50. If you haven't made that much, your earning roll over to the next period&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-1210985889062045581?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/GjeNUbMJOTI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/GjeNUbMJOTI/adsense-alternatives.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2012/04/adsense-alternatives.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-3253814797004543078</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Mar 2010 07:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-23T23:46:03.565-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Advertising</category><title>Characteristics of a Successful Advertisement</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many small businesses don’t get success they want from advertising due to availability of very little resources. The results are simply flat due to lack of good ideas for improvements. Whether the ads are put in a local newspaper or are printed in the famous periodical or posted on a website, the money invested should gain the desired outcome. There are some common mistakes small businesses and professional service providers do when designing and posting the advertisement, which leads to the failure of the advertisement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bigger is better is believed in by many. That’s exactly what some of the small firms think when they want to advertise their product. They think bigger and select a medium where they need to invest a lot of money, but do not reach the targeted market. Like if a company specializes in designing diet plans and want to help out people who had disappointing results from their individual diet plans, and the company chooses to advertise a full page in the local paper instead of running advertisement in a health magazine, obviously not many of the dieters will notice the advertisement and the advertisement doesn’t get the desired attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the point is to come up with the best campaign, which will increase the probability of the ad getting viewed and the right customers trying to buy the product or sign up for the service. Studies and research can be carried out on the market and targeted audience can be narrowed down. Once getting the list of newspapers, magazines and magazines meant for the customers in mind, find out how many readers they have and the cost they ask for posting the ad. Special deals are offered by them from time to time and can only be found by watchful eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is estimated that everyday people are subjected to around three thousand commercials. That is a huge number and if someone desires to be noticed, he should certainly be different. Not only the services and product sold should be unique in the market, so should be the advertisement.  For example, if a business selling mattresses says, “We sell mattresses”, it will not make a statement and will be passed off as any other mattress advertisement. But if they say, “Our mattresses are of the finest quality”, it will make the advertisement stand out in the crowd. Other catch lines are “Are you suffering from back pain? Probably you must try our mattresses ”, are more specific and will catch the fancy of the people who are suffering from back pains since a long time. The advertisement should also focus on the uniqueness of the product and how it is better compared to the competitors’ product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Focusing on the problems of the customers and giving a solution for them, is what a customer demands. A customer does not buy a product; he buys benefits in the form of a product. The real value of the product should be realized and a clear picture of it should be presented to the customer so he will be able to relate with the product. If the advertisement doesn’t specify the solution it can provide, the customers will never know of it. So focusing on the customers problem is what some ads miss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing missing in most of the advertisement is motivation for the customers. If the advertiser has designed the advertisement and the customer had read the advertisement, all efforts and money invested will be wasted if he doesn’t get up and do something about it. It shouldn’t be assumed that the customer knows what to do; instead the advertisement should influence the mind of the customer and should tell him what to do. Call of action is the final job of the advertisement. It should call for information, or visiting the store or even visiting the online store. The message should sound confident and clear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-3253814797004543078?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/FpYxhFob3_E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/FpYxhFob3_E/characteristics-of-successful.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/characteristics-of-successful.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-8955975053027277507</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-28T23:41:00.203-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blog Advertising</category><title>Blog Directory for Your Blog’s Victory</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;People nowadays are fond of writing blogs.

The higher your blog traffic, the higher extra money you will be able to get from your blog. So the main question is – how do you acquire such traffic? How do you promote your blog to the millions of online drifters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most common way of doing so is through blog directories. Blog directories enlists a large number of blogs that are accessible to the public. They are diversified and segregated in a manner that the topics will correspond to what blog you are looking for. Are you looking for technical stuff? Political matters? Tips for a troubled relationship maybe? It doesn’t matter what the topic you’re searching for it will always be a good way to promote your blog through blog directories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you looking for technical stuff?

Advertising in search results, advertising in websites content or indeed many choose to do both. Advertising in search means that results are displayed in Google under searches, and in its distributors search results. Google content advertising applies to those websites who choose to incorporate “Adsense” into their websites. As adsense rapidly expands, it is now viewable on millions of web pages throughout the web. However, many advertisers are shunning this in favor of merely advertising in search results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several reasons for this, and the first is trust. This has been a result of smaller websites, through to adsense empires choosing to embark on Click Fraud. Although this issue occurs in search it is far less dominant. Those who commit Click Fraud on search are those trying to weaken a competitor’s ROI. With Adsense the same applies, along with the website owner trying to increase his revenues using similar tactics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another reason why website owners are choosing to market out with content is the motivation of the buyer when he is on a website. Someone who is on a different website, other than the advertisers might be there for entirely different reasons. For example a website discussing the disadvantages of Adsense, would actually return adverts for those selling “Adsense Websites” for example. People may click on it, but they are unlikely to buy after reading a negative review. The other reason could be that the person on the adsense website was actually looking for what is the best color palette to use. The person therefore would not find the advert relevant, but might click on the advert in a care free manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adsense websites are also often rejected by the advertiser because they feel it involves more administration. Checking through websites to see how relevant they are, and editing their bids to ensure they still appear on a page. With some words having a network of over 500 websites, it is surely a tedious and expensive task. Although this is the case, many also find that their Adwords account returns websites, that don’t even appear to be trying to support their keywords. The example which is ripe, are those advertising under legal phrases who appear on adsense websites “terms and conditions” and “privacy policy” pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although many are rejecting content advertising, there are still those who feel it provides a similar ROI to search. A reason for this can be found through in the fact that more and more advertisers are only choosing search. As this occurs the advertiser has less competition so the price of the word reduces. Advertisers are also finding a good ROI from publisher’s websites who decide to actively promote the advertiser’s services within their content. An example of this can be realized from when someone is discussing printing services, and actually directly recommends the advertiser’s services. This is a positive move for both the publisher and the advertiser, and a good way for publishers to move forward. Despite this, publishers still have to remember, to not be too obvious in doing this, or savvy buyers will definitely calculate the publisher’s intention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another reason why advertisers are opting for content is to increase their scale, however this can also be done across other search engines. The fact however still exists that those who choose content advertising should choose the Google Adsense network. It is regulated far and above yahoo’s and others equivalents whilst its superior network of publishers means the advertisers will benefit from being able to spread their message through a diverse range of websites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite Adsense being the best PPC content distributor, it certainly doesn’t compare to search for the advertiser. On search the leads are more qualified, more regulated, and less fraudulent. This has seen advertisers consistently choose search over content. Despite this advertiser’s should always test adsense and see if it can provide the ROI they are looking for. Some advertisers say that content provides a better return for their business than search. This varies, however in general search remains King for PPC advertisers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-2803332715131454596?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/cibO9T5Km74" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/cibO9T5Km74/google-ppc-content-or-search.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/google-ppc-content-or-search.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-6469301128161467538</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-26T23:40:01.397-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blog Advertising</category><title>7 Ways to Treat Visitors from Your E-mail Groups to Keep Them Coming Back</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E-mail groups can be a rich mine of prospects.  It's only logical that you do everything you can to make sure that visitors coming in from that source are well taken care of so they come back to your blog or website again and again.  After all, it probably took you a lot of time and effort to target your leads and tap your network of contacts in order to generate the listing from that e-mail group.  Don’t let it go to waste.  Here are 7 ways you can use to treat visitors that come from e-mail groups and make sure they come back again and again:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a working website&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing could be more frustrating and annoying to a visitor than attempting to get through to a website that hangs or simply freezes.  If you want visitors coming from e-mail groups to stick around or come back, make sure your website or blog delivers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check your website for general operability and use.  Do graphics take too long to load?  Perhaps it's best to switch to an image with a lower resolution or change the images altogether.  Are there dead links?  It's probably time to do a periodic site repair.  Is the site troublesome?  Perhaps it's time to overhaul the whole site or switch to an account with your ISP that can accommodate your site's demands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure your site can handle the traffic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traffic can be a problem, particularly if you're on a shared site or free blog.  Ultimately, it all boils down to server and processor limitations, so it's a good idea to check if your server has the memory and processor capacity to handle a surge of traffic coming from your e-mail groups.  Although blog platforms and most sites are optimized to handle any traffic surges, it's still best to check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know your visitors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted that e-mail groups are generally easier to 'read' and categorize than generic listings, it's still best to determine certain tendencies that each group has.  To do this, you'll need to spend some time analyzing the figures and reports from your blog or website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check your most popular entries – those write ups that have generated a spike in traffic, read visitor comments, discussion threads and posts and check your stats regularly.  If you receive e-mail messages from your e-mail groups, you might want to check their content for clues.  Familiarizing yourself with your visitors will allow you to offer better content and service and approach them on a more personalized level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interact&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t make your visitors feel that they just landed on a deserted planet when they visit your website.  Make sure that you reply to their inquiries, comments and messages.  Go beyond the usual 'Thanks for your comment' or 'Come back for more info' posts.  Read their messages and post replies that encourage more interaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a segregated group?  Offer relevant content nevertheless&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relevant content is essential to ensuring that you treat your site's visitors well.  Regardless of how diverse your e-mail groups are, it's essential that you still cater to their unique interests and needs.  Check your content because this is how you'll win their hearts and loyalty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always offer a selection&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Variety makes for an interesting blog or website.  Even if your site has a theme, make sure you offer other content that may be directly or indirectly related to the main subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Practice politeness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Political correctness may be overrated for some but politeness is here to stay.  Always treat visitors that come from e-mail groups with respect.  Avoid writing insults or leering comments.  Remember that people are entitled to their own opinions and their right to express themselves is protected by the law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may not agree with what they say but hey, it's a democracy.  And that's exactly the reason why you enjoy the privilege of maintaining your own website in the first place.  So lighten up and treat your visitors with respect.  Who knows?  You could even build a stronger e-mail group list in the process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-6469301128161467538?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/A-Ezq8-Wrz8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/A-Ezq8-Wrz8/7-ways-to-treat-visitors-from-your-e.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/7-ways-to-treat-visitors-from-your-e.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-2947402615767659059</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Feb 2010 07:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-25T23:37:00.444-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>The Disadvantages of Adsense</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As adsense becomes the most popular publisher program for Price per Click advertising, flaws and disadvantages still exist. Since its inception advertisers have chosen to advertise in search because they felt that visitors would be less targeted. This is a genuine concern and one that makes perfect sense. If you are visiting a website, and notice an advert then the chances are you are not particularly concentrating on its content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adsense has also become so popular that people can distinguish them from other adverts. Therefore people may choose to ignore them without even paying them a thought. This has been a hot topic discussed by Bloggers and one that could contain a lot of truth. Many have blamed Google for this, and their decision to include text that says “ads by Google” beneath the advert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many publishers also fail to ever gain the revenues they anticipated when starting the program. Those only gaining 30 – 40 visitors a day to their website would be unlikely to earn even one dollar a day. Many advertisers talk of rates such as 1.5%- 5% for traffic to click conversion, whilst only gaining around $0.10 per click. The maths doesn’t work out great, but you can hardly blame advertisers or Google if you are not bringing enough traffic. The key is to bring targeted traffic to your website that are likely to click on adverts, however it is said that it may be easier on other programs which allow figures such as 75% share of advertising revenues for publishers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another disadvantage in adsense is that it has almost become tacky. Its appearance on websites that generally appear to be designed in a DIY fashion has lead people to associate them inextricably. This can only be tackled through adsense evolving to be more attractive to the bigger brands, whilst those who currently use adsense are restricted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google Adsense also has to tackle the issue of click fraud which is anticipated to count for over 15% of click through rate in content. This has meant that advertiser’s who have been particularly affected, have moved away to other programs or have restricted their advertising to search.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This has meant that there is less competition in content and therefore smaller revenues for publishers. Publisher’s who previously had high yielding ads, are now having to alter their content to ensure they get any adverts at all. This has largely been the fault of the publishers themselves however the issue is one that; if not addressed could bring adsense to its knees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google Adsense also has the disadvantage of not paying enough for their search program. Other similar programs pay higher rates, and if publishers decide to go elsewhere then problems will occur for advertisers and publishers alike. Although Google fail to pay enough for search another major problem with Adsense is that it does not have a powerful database of graphic adverts. Many advertisers prefer showing graphically drive advertisements, however this has yet to materialise. As several other programs exist for PPC graphic distribution problems could occur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whilst this may not be a problem for all publishers, many complain that the adverts within their site do not change, so their repeat visitors fail to see fresh adverts so therefore fail to visit them. This is a problem which could be addressed through making adverts rotate. However if adverts rotate then how will that be linked with advertisers paying a rate per click? These are all problems which Google has to address to ensure that Adsense remains the market leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adwords on the other hand also has major advantages, and remains the best in the market. It’s CPC rates can be chosen by the advertisers so that even when they feel that they are not getting the results they expect they can lower their prices whilst still using the service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whilst many issues remain with adsense the program still remains the most popular amongst publishers, whilst Google Adwords remains the most popular amongst advertisers; with a database of over 140,000 Adwords will remain on top for the time to come.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-2947402615767659059?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/H3S98JAMn08" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/H3S98JAMn08/disadvantages-of-adsense.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/disadvantages-of-adsense.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-8005841047179720081</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Feb 2010 07:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-24T23:36:00.582-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Top Paying Keywords</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In people's search for higher incomes from Google AdSense a lot of AdSense publishers are looking to find those keywords that really bring the best income possible. The higher an advertiser pays for a keyword, they more the advertiser receives when they click on a link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But how can you find such words for your site? Well, the answer to that question depends a little on who you are and what you're prepared to do to get those keywords. But the general good news is that you can indeed find such words if you need them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if you can afford such a solution, one of the best ways of getting your hands on those words would be to pay for them. There are specialized companies that do business by finding people good keywords, not only for the purpose of more AdSense revenue but for search engine optimization as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a service can be found on "Top Paying Keywords" http://www.toppayingkeywords.com/?hop=moneymkr and this is a no-brainer to getting relevant content on your site and increasing your revenue by a whole bunch quickly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if such a solution does not work for you, you can ultimately resort to a method of personal investigation. That means you try out keywords by yourself and see which ones work better or worse for yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you might also be doing this for the first method (paying someone else to get the keywords) it would probably be better then this because you'd at least be narrowing down search to certain items.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you're trying this make sure to keep using AdSense's 'channels' feature along the way as it can be a very good way of letting you know which sections of your site are generating income and which aren't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, you can also yield a great amount of help from AdSense's arch enemy Overture. Overture gives you the possibility of entering keywords and finding out not only how much advertisers are paying to get them on your page, but how much people are clicking on the words as well. This service can be found at: http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also try out a tool called Word Tracker http://jeremyburns.com/a/wordtracker. What this tool can do is tell you how many sites are already using the same keywords. Learn from this lesson and don't try to use the words that a lot of people are already using.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, a great aid may very well be found in Google itself. Search Google for any keywords you may wish to include in your pages and look at the results. The results on the left will probably be your competitors (and if they have Google AdSense ads on their page you can bet then are) while the links on the right display ads relevant to your search.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your search doesn't yield any AdSense results then you might want to reconsider including those keywords in your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you don't use any dead words (words that don't get any links on AdSense other then public ads. That is probably the most important thing you should be doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course these are only a few methods of getting out of the dead zone and starting to make serious money with AdSense. If you've seen a lot of people with "not so hot" websites generating a lot of AdSense revenue, using these tips can get you right behind them (or in front if you're really smart) very fast. Although this is the case it is also very important to remember that having the highest paying words does not mean that you make the most money. You have to also consider how many times the advert is clicked on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-8005841047179720081?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/7QMsIoeDdyw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/7QMsIoeDdyw/top-paying-keywords.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/top-paying-keywords.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-3690593052170275122</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-23T23:35:03.285-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Positioning of Adverts</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;After using AdSense for a while you must have begun to ask yourself if there's anything you could do to improve your AdSense based earnings. But before you go on experimenting with this and that setup you have to realize a couple of things about positioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first thing you should know is that there is no universal position that is guaranteed to improve your earnings. That being said, the part above about experimenting is meant to be taken literally. You have to try as many setups as you can to find the solution with the greatest benefit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, of course certain places usually work better then others. Of course, Google recognizes this and they publish a "heat map" of how much revenue ads placed in certain portions of the page can bring you. Experimenting is often the best way you can find, what suits the sub conscious mind of your audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally the most profitable ads are placed within the main content, generally right above it. But this is by no means a rule and there are some exceptions to it. One known exception is having a news site or something similar to a new site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this is your case, you will often find that you generate more earnings by placing your ads at the bottom of the content, right before comments begin. This is because as users finish reading a story, they have a short moment where they're looking for something more to do. And your AdSense ads can offer them that something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, placing ads to the left side of your page seems to work better almost all the time. Of course, this is logical because text is generally written from left to right (unless you come from certain countries where it's the other way around).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People will finish a sentence and return their eyes to the left position, which means they have a higher chance of spotting your ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, there's a bit more to this then just having ads visually in the right place. If you have more then one ad you have to worry about where they're located in the code as well. And there's a very good reason for this concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense fills the ads in the order it finds them in the source. That means that if the first add you have in the code isn't the one generating the highest revenue, you may soon start to lose money, rather then earn more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is because if AdSense doesn't have anymore ads it will supplement your space with public service ads or just leave it blank altogether. That means that, if you're unlucky, you could end up with your most profitable locations not having any good ads at all. To supplement your revenues&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are other issues with how many ads you should place in your site. The problem is that if you have too many, rather then generate more income, you'll have a lower click through rate, as visitors tend not to follow ads from the places where these come in excess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have to constantly keep track of how the users interact with your site. Keep an eye out for where the visitors will be looking at your site most. This is generally the place where you want to use your first ads. Also try not to place ads in annoying positions as that can guarantee a lower click through rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, you always need to have ads that blend in with your content and generally don't make the visitor's presence on your site an unpleasant one. The key is providing an enjoyable experience for your visitor, whilst generating revenues from their exploration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And again, ultimately the best revenue will be earned through a lot of experimentation. Be sure to use AdSense's channels feature and be on the look out for how certain ads in your pages are doing whilst altering the positions to better supplement your earnings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-3690593052170275122?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/JzTmzKXzzHY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/JzTmzKXzzHY/positioning-of-adverts.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/positioning-of-adverts.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-2519020179083984512</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-14T13:03:00.731-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Affiliate Marketing</category><title>Harness the Power of Offering Freebies to Your Affiliate Site's Visitors</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Who in his right mind would refuse a freebie?  Out of 10 people you ask, only about one or two will forego a freebie for some strange reason. The rest will gladly accept it.  It's simply a part of human nature to be appreciative of gifts, particularly useful ones.  This is also something that advertisers and business owners understand fully well and thus use to their advantage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In affiliate marketing, the use of freebies can be especially beneficial, provided of course, that you understand how to deploy them strategically.  Find out how to use the power of offering freebies to your affiliate site's visitors and reap the rewards:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freebies should be integrated into your marketing campaign&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freebies can be quite powerful as marketing tools for affiliate marketing. If visitors to your website find that free stuff is available, they will stick around and be more willing to come back for more but only if they find it relevant to their needs – the very reason they came to visit your website in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider each affiliate marketing campaign you perform and find out how to use freebies strategically.  Just because something is free doesn’t automatically mean that people will visit your affiliate website and grab what you offer.  There has to be a relevance between the freebie and the main product or service you are promoting. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say your main product is an e-book that teaches the secrets of the affiliate marketing trade to affiliates.  A good freebie to offer with this campaign would be a short report on the top 10 mistakes that affiliates make that cause failure in affiliate marketing.  Or you could offer a freebie in the form of a script that could help affiliates track their own stats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that the power of freebies when offered in affiliate marketing is only limited to its relevance.  The free stuff should be something that can supplement the main product or enhance its use.  Otherwise, your visitors will simply have no reason to try to obtain it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Offer something better&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because you're offering freebies to your affiliate site's visitors doesn’t mean you should allow them to completely ignore your premium offers.  If you let this happen, forget about earning an income from your affiliate site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that all those free stuff you offer are part of your strategy to attract more visitors and affiliate prospects to your website.  If you find out later that you're dealing with visitors who are mainly freeloaders, you might want to rethink your career as an affiliate marketer and switch to becoming a charitable foundation instead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always offer your affiliate site's visitors some form of incentive to persuade them to purchase, subscribe or sign up for membership.  Offer a product or service that is considerably better than the freebie as an alternative.  So instead of just providing a link they can click to download or obtain your free stuff, you could also say something like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Get our free version now OR buy the premium/complete package for just $$$.  This is a limited offer and will expire soon. ACT NOW!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By imposing a time restriction, you also impose a sense of urgency and persuade your affiliate site's visitors that if they want to take advantage of a better offer, they should act immediately. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one power that freebies have over other types of promotions, which makes them very effective when used in affiliate sites.  Plus, you can even expect a conversion without performing any follow ups.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find out the best freebies you can afford.&lt;br /&gt;There is no logic at all to giving away freebies if you have nothing to gain from it.  When affiliate marketers and business owners offer free gifts to their site's visitors, it is a carefully crafted strategy and not just some careless act of generosity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you do offer freebies, you have to have something in return, if not now then at least later.  Learn to harness the use of freebies for your affiliate site's visitors carefully.  It's a proven strategy and can be a very valuable component of your affiliate marketing arsenal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-2519020179083984512?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/HsNJsW6ccuc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/HsNJsW6ccuc/harness-power-of-offering-freebies-to.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/harness-power-of-offering-freebies-to.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-1723089602274589723</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-13T12:57:00.163-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Advertising</category><title>Low Cost Advertising</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;There is no better advertisement campaign that is low cost and also successful at the same time. Great business ideas when utilized effectively can save lots of money. This is not only easy for those who work full-time as an advertiser, but also for those who work from home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advertising from home is also a low cost option, which involves making and distributing fliers. Usually potential customers will visit home for business dealing. Print good amount of fliers and give it to anyone who is visiting home like family, friends, mailman, etc. Business cards can also be distributed. Few selected people can be given sample of the product. For those who work outside home, employ college students to distribute fliers at supermarkets, community centers, or malls, especially on weekends, when there is a rush. &lt;span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"&gt;&lt;span class="" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_JustifyFull" title="Justify Full" onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 13);ButtonMouseDown(this);"&gt;&lt;img src="img/blank.gif" alt="Justify Full" class="gl_align_full" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spread the word by the mouth. Talk to everyone about the product and ask them to talk about it to others. It’s a very powerful tool to increase the network and doesn’t even cost anything. When receiving a casual call from family members and friends, don’t forget to tell them about the latest events, discounts and promotions and ask them about what they are up to. If the parties are into the business, it won’t hurt to promote each other. Joint ventures can be started with trustable people of the same trade. The only cost that will be incurred during the whole process is of printing fliers. For a better quality, professional can be hired to design them, as they will be able to play with colors and write motivating material.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the businesses have company bulletin board that they use to put up company’s latest news. Fliers and business cards can be tacked on such bulletin boards. But before doing so, check out with the human resource department before placing the information as most of the HR departments make it compulsory to consult them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents are required to be in regular touch with the teachers to know about the progress of the child and they have meetings from time to time. Do not miss this opportunity and spread the word. Hand them the business card and fliers personally at the meeting, instead of just giving the contact number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get involved with fundraiser at schools, as it’s a nice approach to market business. Prior to handing out the order received, collect all necessary information like business card pack, fliers, with proper information. Information can be based on what is the company about, what are the products and services provided, or how to get in touch with the company. In each individual order, carefully place all of them and seal the package properly. Presentation, too, is of importance and should be paid attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voice mails can be put to good use, other than recording messages. They can help to deliver the marketing message. Greet with a brief message, following with website and email address, so that who ever calls will be already having the telephone number and they will be able to learn more about the business by visiting the website. When the company is providing special promotional offers and discounts, include information about those in the voice mail. Discontinuation of any services of products can also be informed about. Repetitive voicemails sound boring, so keep changing the voice mail frequently and add some creativity to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the big businesses attach business cards or fliers with out going mail. This works for companies who send bills to their customers. For those who have customers paying online, they can send the information through emails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advertisements can be done, in the locality, by placing fliers on the bulletin boards of the local grocery stores, businesses, barbers, or butchers. People frequent these places and there is a possibility of getting a good response. Some businesses place a jar at the reception counter where the business cards can be dropped for future reference, while visiting them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-1723089602274589723?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/1gx8e32XGyE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/1gx8e32XGyE/low-cost-advertising.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/low-cost-advertising.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-3481687312857510054</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-11T12:55:08.383-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Adsense - Pros and Cons</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You have that site on-line for quite a while, its generating a good number of hits every day and you're thinking whether or not to use AdSense advertising on it to make it generate some form of income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well this is a description of the pros and cons of this approach to Internet advertising. AdSense has definitely hit the Internet like something from another planet and people are very excited about it everywhere. There are negative aspects to Adsense and alternatives to consider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense is generally a great tool for webmasters. Whereas, they would use to worry about how to raise enough money to keep their sites profitable, or at least keep them on-line those worries are gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense allows webmasters to forget about those worries and concentrate on creating good content for their sites. In fact, the emphasis is now on creating quality content (often associated with the top-paying words) which will bring you many visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense can also very well integrated with your website, it's easily customizable in terms of colors, size and position which means you can experiment with it in any way you like to maximize your income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense is a very good means of generating a constant revenue on your site. All you need to do is create some quality content and keep it updated constantly and you can literally live off your website. A lot of people are doing just that nowadays with AdSense, so it's become sort of a business in itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also a great program because you can have the same account advertising on all your pages. This is great for webmasters wit a lot of content because it means they don't have to create many accounts unnecessarily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as stated, above, there are some negative aspects to advertising with AdSense and here's a small list of such cons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly the largest negative impact the AdSense program can have on you is through Google closing your accounts. Most of the time this happens because of so called 'click fraud', which means somebody would be producing artificial clicks on your page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's one really nasty side to that. It doesn't have to be you making those artificial clicks. It could very well be your competition doing this in order to shut you down, or the competitor of whoever is advertising on your page, looking to drive their marketing costs up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The earning AdSense brings you are by no means constant. In fact, they're not even close to that. Anything you do to your site could end up being a big mistake costing you a great deal of money. It's that kind of pressure that has a negative impact on you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, you constantly need to make sure your site is in the spotlight of search engines when people are searching for whatever it is your site is about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you fail to do that you won't have any visitors, and that of course means you won't have any AdSense revenue. In a way this is nothing new, as any form of generating revenue on the Internet with advertising has such a drawback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally, another major problem is that you constantly have to feed your site with better and better content. Now, of course, certain sites are very well geared towards doing this but with some types of content this is rather hard to achieve. This is often why the services of a copywriter are employed to generate more and more content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When writing original content, the best thing a website owner can do is research a topic thoroughly and then return to writing with lots of information they can out in their own words, and show their own opinion on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there are the pros and cons of using the AdSense network for generating profits through advertising. Now the choice of whether or not these work for you is yours.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-3481687312857510054?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/5sHMt49cRtE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/5sHMt49cRtE/adsense-pros-and-cons.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/adsense-pros-and-cons.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-5559550009095901003</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-07T12:50:00.154-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Affiliate Marketing</category><title>Getting the Most From Affiliate Marketing</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Affiliate marketing is nothing new on the internet. However, it sure is something that many come and go after. When you are looking to start your own website or blog and add some affiliate marketing links to it, there are some things that you should know. Affiliate marketing is not for everyone. It is not for anyone that is looking to make money fast, nor is it for the impatient. You have to have two things in order to be successful with affiliate marketing, and those two things are patience, and determination. When you put those two together, there is no stopping you or what you can do with your affiliate marketing business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affiliate marketing can be done a few ways; it can be done through email, newsletters, websites, or blogs. By using any of these things, you can be successful if you are marketing to the right audience. Finding your readership, and catching them with good content is what it is all about. To do so, you need to know where they go and what they look for. Try starting with message boards to begin with. However, use some patience and don’t come off as the newbie know it all. Take some time and peak others interest. Add the link to your website or blog in your signature line at the message board that you are visiting, and most importantly, make sure that the message board is relevant to your market. If you have a website that pertains to a market that has to do with gardening, you will not want to be visiting a message board that is all about pregnancy. It is really quite simple to understand how these two things must be relevant to get results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, once you have found a busy message board that will allow you to include your link to your website in the signature of your posts, you are in business. Just start off by posting and chatting, and when someone asks a question that you know all about and answer to, answer it. This will peak their interest and before you know it, they will be clicking on the link in your signature and checking out your site. While doing this can be quite time consuming, it will pay off. Gain the other members trust, and you cannot go wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next thing that you should know about getting the most from affiliate marketing is that you should be writing articles. Writing articles on the market that you are promoting and then submitting them to article directories or ezines is a great way to get the most from your affiliate links and programs that you are a part of. Be sure that you include a link in the articles that you are submitting that will lead the readers back to your website. Doing so will get your site more traffic, and will pay off in the end. However, you will not want to submit the same articles that you have on your site to these directories. You will want different variations of the articles to be used in the directories. This is because when you submit these articles to the directories, you are going to see that by checking your back links, there are other webmasters using your articles. Which is also great because they will in return give you a back link to your site. However, they are depending on you to have a different article on your site than the one that you are submitting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affiliate marketing is something that takes work. You can not just set up your site and let it go. You have to work on it consistently to see a good amount of revenue come from it. However, make sure that you are doing everything that you can to get it seen. Use the best free tools that there are available to you, and pay for the ones that really work. You will find that you can get the most from the resources that are out there and available.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-5559550009095901003?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/7ILrf5VYOF4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/7ILrf5VYOF4/getting-most-from-affiliate-marketing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/getting-most-from-affiliate-marketing.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-7586198612290085212</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-06T12:43:00.456-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blog Advertising</category><title>5 Big Mistakes That Bloggers Make...</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;If you've just entered the world of blogging or if you've been blogginh for a short time and find that things are not working out as you expected, it will be worth your while to spend some time understanding the common mistakes that bloggers make, mistakes that make it hard to enjoy what should be an enjoyable, satisfying experience: Blogging!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The five most common new blogger mistakes are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diving in (rather than wading in)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having unrealistic expectations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Losing focus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plagiarizing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ignoring the reader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diving in! Many bloggers are so anxious to get started that they dive in rather than wading in slowly -- its a mistake in an unfamiliar swimming pool or pond and its a mistake when entering a new arena such as the 'blogosphere.' Consider these things before you start your Blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find a focus for your blog . . . a focus that reflects what you know, what interests you and what you enjoy talking and writing about. No topics are out of bounds: politics, religion, science, sexual orientations, comedy, exercise, diet, diseases, etc., etc..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take the time to read dozens of different blogs: note the colors, graphics and layouts to get an idea of what appeals to you. Also note that some bloggers are long-winded and others are brief and to the point . . . others are just chatty and entertaining and have no particular point to make . . . this too is a personal style you get to choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need a host for your blog, some are free, some charge a small amount per month for their service, some are simple to use and some require more technical knowledge, some have more features than others; choose carefully, once you've established your blog and have a few regular readers you may not want to change your address (your URL).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may or may not want to use your real name on your blog, this depends on many factors, not the least of which is your stance on controversial issues and how publicly you want to be identified with your opinions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unrealistic expectations! If you come to blogging expecting instant results: a large readership and many complimentary comments, you may be disappointed. There are tens of thousands of blogs online vying for the same audience. Patience and tenacity are essential on your part. If you write well, find a unique niche to fill, have appealing titles for your posts and tirelessly promote your blog the readership and comments (some of which will be complimentary) will come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Losing focus! When you started your blog you had a particular reason for doing so; it might have been to express your views on a topic or it might have been to just communicate with a close circle of friends about your daily activities. Readers will come to your blog for the first time and either be interested in your subject matter or not, will either like your style or not and, if they like your subject and style they may comment and then come back later. Once you've established a topic and tone for your blog you're free to change it but to do so you're basically starting all over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be aware that you can have more than one blog, each one devoted to a particular topic and each one, if you choose, under a different identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plagiarizing! There are some great bloggers out there and as you surf through blogs you might find one who said something really well, something that resonated with you and something you want to put in your blog. DON'T just copy and paste someone's words in your blog without giving them credit, making it look to the world like the words are yours. If you write it, write it in your own words and write it better, adding your own thoughts and feelings and then be gracious, mention where you got the idea and provide a link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ignoring the reader! Some of the people who read your blog will leave comments; some readers will agree with you and some readers may even praise your insights but most will pick a point you've made and criticize it. People leave comments on others blogs for the same reason they themselves blog, to exchange ideas and express their points of view. Always respond to your readers comments; thank them for reading and taking the time to comment (even the severe critics) and then respond, as appropriate, to their comment. If you ignore your comments your readers may end up ignoring your blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-7586198612290085212?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/aK797akFkE4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/aK797akFkE4/5-big-mistakes-that-bloggers-make.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/5-big-mistakes-that-bloggers-make.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-8110629467310437114</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-05T12:45:00.211-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SEO</category><title>“Do-It-Yourself”</title><description>Ranking high in Google’s search results can have a phenomenal impact on the success of your business.

A keyword can be one word (e.g. “optimisation”), but multiple keywords or keyword phrases are usually preferred, because they are more specific and more likely to be what your customers are looking for (eg. “&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.cleverclicks.com.au/search-engine-services.php"&gt; Search Engine Optimisation Australia&lt;/a&gt;”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write down as many as you can think of. Brainstorm with your team. Think of alternative words. Consider geographical phrases if they are important to your customer (e.g. “house cleaning Hornsby”). Also, get some ideas from your competitors’ websites. Try to make a list of 20-30 keyword phrases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choose the two keyword phrases you think would be searched for the most. But also remember, the more competition there is for a keyword, the harder it is to achieve top rankings.  If you want to rank high in Google for the keyword “insurance”, you have a very long journey ahead. So try your best to select two keyword phrases that are the most relevant to you business but that are not vague nor competitive. It’s a good idea to have 2 or 3 words in each phrase (e.g. “wedding catering services”)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you’ve selected your two best keyword phrases the next step shows you how to make some improvements to your home page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2: Web Copy &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Web copy refers to all the words or text on your website. Because content is king in the world of search engines, your keyword phrases need to be placed strategically on your webpage to convince Google that your content is highly relevant to those keywords.  The more prominent they are, the better. (Keep in mind that as important as search engines are, customers come first, so make sure your copy also reads well.)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Here’s how you can increase each keyword’s prominence:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•    Place your keywords in headings, preferably at the beginning of the heading;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•    Include keywords towards the top of the page;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•    Bold or italicise keywords where appropriate;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•    Instead of having a link to another page that says "Click here to read more ", reword it to include your keywords, e.g. "Read more about our &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.cleverclicks.com.au/web-copywriting-sales-copywriting-services.php"&gt;seo copywriting Services&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An important tip is to also include these keywords in your HTML “title tag”. Use your content management system to make these changes yourself, or perhaps ask your web developer to do it if you’re unsure how.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you have fine-tuned your home page, consider adding new content, such as detailed descriptions of what you offer, FAQs and informative articles about your products and services. (If you don’t want to write these yourself, they can be located for free on the internet - do a search for “articles directory”).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s also good to bear in mind that search engines can only read text, not pictures. Often web developers embed words in images to look better for website visitors or use Flash for animation, but this is a major impediment to search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3: Linking&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each link from another website to your website (not from your website) is considered by search engines as a vote of popularity for your business and will improve your rankings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is the quality, not quantity, of the links that is crucial. The other websites should be relevant to your industry, and preferably highly regarded themselves. Ten quality links count far more than 500 links from arbitrary websites. In the same way your personal business network can have a significant impact on the success of your business, so too the online network you build on the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brainstorm all the relevant websites that could link to you, such as non-competing companies, and industry bodies and organisations. Write a friendly email to each describing the benefit their visitors would get in knowing about your business, and request them to create a link to your website. Most people will not respond first time round, so a follow-up phone call is usually required.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do I monitor my results?&lt;br /&gt;Monitor your rankings in Google over the next few months by typing your chosen keywords into the search box, and recording your ranking. Also look at your hosting reports to understand what search terms your visitors are using to find your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The above process can be also be repeated for each page of your website. Remember to keep updating your content, and continually increase the number of links to your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you see your rankings climb you should see a corresponding increase in web traffic and a substantial increase in sales enquiries. Be sure to record the source of your customer enquiries, so you can measure the success of your marketing efforts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember, if you measure it, you can improve it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-8110629467310437114?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/p90WjWsge8Q" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/p90WjWsge8Q/do-it-yourself.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/do-it-yourself.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-5337541711626016585</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-04T12:48:00.101-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SEO</category><title>3 Key Off-Page Search Engine Optimization Methods</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On-page search engine optimization is definitely one of the key methods if a website owner would like to improve the results for his or her website's searchability. However, on-page SEO often entails technical skills. Why? Not a lot of people are HTML enthusiasts. This is often what needs to be tweaked to do an excellent job in optimizing web pages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if a geek friend already did the on-page optimization and now you want to know how you can contribute to the "search engine goodness" of your website? Off-page optimization is the next step. And the results you will have to pine for are one-way backlinks. Why? This is how many of the major search engines such Google, Yahoo! and MSN rank websites. The more backlinks from relevant sites with good page rank, the merrier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how exactly do you gather backlinks? It's not an easy task but it's definitely less nerve-wracking than HTML if you are not the techie type. Here are some off-page SEO tips:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Article Marketing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quality content has been discovered to be real king. Everyone is hungry for fresh and quality info and providing it will make backlinks go pouring in. It helps a lot to be a keen writer to be successful on this endeavor. Also, practise the proper way of using a resource box. It should only include a website that contains information relevant to the article you submit to article directories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Forum Participation&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Look for forums that are relevant to your website's content and keep on sharing information that will be indispensable for the members of the forums. Your signature or that tag-along message at the last part of each of your posts is what will work for your off-page SEO campaign. Keep it simple and make sure that it conveys something about your website. Learn how to hyperlink to make it easy for the people who want to visit your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Blogging&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogs or web logs are now the most popular weapons of SEO experts. Aside from being easy-to-update, they don't require a too formal tone, which is what many readers are into. Informal dialog which can be accomplished through readers leaving comments and the blog author replying to the comments is what also keeps blogs fresh and search engine friendly. Maintaining a blog that's again relevant to your website's content will keep the search engines in touch with your site. Don't forget to have a link on your main website from your blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The secret to be successful in carrying out these off-page SEO methods is to be consistent. Submitting quality articles to websites at least two to three times a week and regularly producing content for your personalized blog is a surefire way to make your website stand out. Forum participation should also be something done more frequently since it will not only help you up your website's popularity with the search engines but also make you learn new stuff from other forum members' participation. Also, if you discover that you don't enjoy these stuff, there's always a plan B - hire someone to do them for you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: This article may be freely reproduced as long as the AUTHOR'S resource box at the bottom of this article is included and all links must be Active/Linkable with no syntax changes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-5337541711626016585?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/QYfUS4ra2qE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/QYfUS4ra2qE/3-key-off-page-search-engine.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/3-key-off-page-search-engine.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-8968309381710363103</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Feb 2010 20:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-03T12:43:00.940-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blog Advertising</category><title>3 Reasons Why Blogging Will Boost Your Business!</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Building your business can be a difficult task. You can put hundreds of hours of effort into the business, but if you still don’t have important components, you will not be successful. Today business owners are realizing that blogging boosts business. Blogs are typically only seen as personal places to express yourself and your views. The truth is however the blogs are also great places to reach people about your business or your products. There are several ways to do this type of blogging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best way a business can use blogging to boost their business is by taking part in the blogs of others. You can easily create quality posts with your business in mind without needing to set up a blog of your own. Try finding blogs that pertain to the area of business you are in. This will help you get started. With millions of blogs out there, you should be able to find some with no problem. Choose to post on all of them, or choose the few that get the most activity. Then begin posting. When you do, you will see positive results come in. If you are still curious about how this can boost your business, check out these three reasons blogging boosts business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quick Name Recognition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fastest way to get your business’s name out in the public is to make it known to your targeted marketing group. If you want to get your company’s name out to men who like fishing, then you can find a blog that is about just that. When you find the blogs pertaining to this marketing group, post useful and intelligent information about topics that pertain to your company. You might not want to sound like an advertisement. Think about responding to another comment and simply tagging your signature with your company’s website. This is a subtle way to get their attention. The more you post on blogs, the more widely known your company’s name will become with the select marketing group. When they tell their friends and family about the site then your consumer group will have grown even more. This is a fast way to get started. You will have to invest some time however. At least an hour a day can be used for this type of task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consumer Testimonies&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your company might even think about hiring professionals to blog for your company. You can offer these employees products to try and give them the task of finding blogs where they can appropriately “praise” the product. By paying these people to do the task, you will be getting the work done that you need without having to devote much time. Consumer testimonials go a long way with other consumers. If these bloggers are productive enough, you will see an increase due to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building Relationships&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smart business owners know that they can go further with the help of others. A great way to connect and build relationships with other businesses is via their blog. If you are a regular poster who values their business, they will be more likely to work with you. Working together with advertising is a great idea. You can swap ad space for no fee if you like. These are great things for business owners and are easy to get into when you blog regularly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, blogging can be a great way to do business. It may seem like tricky advertising, and it is in some ways. However, it is free advertising that does the same thing as a commercial on television does. It reaches a targeted marketing group and lets them know your company’s name, products, and sometimes offers an endorsement. Overall, it is an effective way to get your business out there. When people have no idea who you are, they are not going to feel comfortable working with you. The better your reputation is, the more likely they will trust you. When you have no reputation at all, they will not trust you either. So, even if you just want to use blogging to build your company’s reputation, it will be worth your while. Give it a try and see what type of results you can get using these tips.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-8968309381710363103?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/qKxbFCCDmzQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/qKxbFCCDmzQ/3-reasons-why-blogging-will-boost-your.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/3-reasons-why-blogging-will-boost-your.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-7219182687902667556</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-01T01:10:00.411-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blog Advertising</category><title>Do's and Don'ts for Reciprocating Traffic to Promote Your Blog</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Some mockingly call it as the mutual admiration society and wherein people praise – and link to – each other in order to generate traffic. No matter how way you look at it, reciprocating traffic works not just for promoting websites but blogs as well. Here are several do's and don’ts to take note of if you’re in the mood for sharing some love with your fellow bloggers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How to Reciprocate Traffic for Blog Promotion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reciprocating is easier than you think. You just have to take note of what other bloggers are doing for you and return the favor. Of course, you can also consider initiating things by being the first to post a comment, include a link in your directory, respond with a blog entry, or review another blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as what you’re doing places focus on you and the other blogger, you’re doing the right thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make your reciprocation valuable&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are going to reciprocate a favor, be sure to make it valuable and meaningful for the other blogger. It would simply be a waste of web space if all you’re going to say is hi and goodbye. If that’s what you’re going to do, it’s best not to reciprocate at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make reciprocation valuable, consider which areas you can make the greatest contributions – pages which, even better, the other blogger would appreciate to gain more traffic for. Look for questions that coincide with your fields of expertise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it mutually beneficial&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reciprocity is not merely an exchange of links. It also includes mutual acknowledgment – and maybe even recommendation – of each other’s expertise. When you post a comment or display a link in your website, make sure that the information you provide not only reflects positively on the other blogger but on yourself as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pay attention to house rules&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reciprocation means visiting another person’s blog and as they say, when in Rome, it’s important to do as the Romans do. Every blog has its own set of house rules and you must pay attention to them. One example of house rules is the inclusion of links in your comments. Some bloggers prefer not to have any links displayed without their express permission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acts of rudeness commonly result from simple misunderstanding and ignorance of rules. If you’re unsure about your statement, you can always email the other blogger and ask for confirmation as to whether your reply is adequate or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don’t be condescending&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s easy to be so without even being aware of it. When you are visiting a blog that’s less popular than yours, don’t act or speak in such a way that you’ve made it very clear to everyone the other blogger should be grateful for you little act of reciprocation. That’s a big no-no to do, and you’re sure to receive unpleasant feedback even if it’s true. Such things are better left unsaid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always return the favor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not the least, remember to return every favor you receive! This is the golden rule of all golden rules and to violate once or several times is something that no Internet marketer forgets. Soon, tales of your infamy will spread and you shouldn’t be surprised if the popularity of your blog starts declining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regardless of how much or how little you’ll benefit from reciprocating the favor, do it anyway. It’s called good business!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-7219182687902667556?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/i6veW8ZiCLo" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/i6veW8ZiCLo/dos-and-donts-for-reciprocating-traffic.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/02/dos-and-donts-for-reciprocating-traffic.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-8827381735638352795</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 09:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-31T01:00:01.470-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>How Adsense Changed the Internet</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ever since Google came up with the master idea that is AdSense, the web has transformed in a variety of ways no one would have ever suspected. Some of these are good changes others aren't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a small exploration of how a brilliant marketing scheme has taken the web by storm. It deals with the changes advertisers and publishers and even website visitors have undergone ever since AdSense has become a daily part of our on-line lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even before AdSense came out a lot of people were advertising through AdWords. It ensured a lot of publicity through getting your site listed at the top in Google search queries. It took away a lot of the pain and price of SEO and the large amount of time you had to wait until you were finally on top. It made launching a website, a realistic way to instant profitability instead of a long term strategy with no immediate returns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the use of AdSense, the possibility appeared of having your ads appear on just about any site on the Internet that has anything that even resembles your company is all about. And so it's for that reason that AdSense has brought a new sense of advertising to the Internet. Before PPC poorly ranked web pages had to advertise offline to get any real initial exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Companies no longer have to hire expensive professionals to create extremely elaborate advertising campaigns. There are no high costs of running your ads on websites which you have to personally look for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All you do is come up with a couple of meaningful words for your business, sign up with Google AdWords and let Google take care of the rest of the equation. Although it requires day to day management automation saves significant time for advertisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, probably the largest change in the way the Internet works due to AdSense comes from the publishers' point of view. Whereas one would previously have to jump through many hoops to get a website to even support itself now people are making fortunes off their sites. This leads to motivation for content, and resources for web surfers.&lt;br /&gt;That generally means site publishers have to worry more about what content lies on their site, and the overall way their pages look rather then be concerned with the economic specifics of maintaining a site’s profitability. Although time is invested in adsense, a large capital investment is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's no surprise that the blogging phenomenon exploded when AdSense came out a few years ago. Anyone could just write a page about a subject he was passionate about and making a living out of it through AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;And thirdly, one can't ignore the impact AdSense has had over the casual everyday web surfer. Whereas people used to not even notice banners altogether (which psychologically is a very interesting thing to observe) the situation is completely different for text ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People nowadays will take a long look at a sponsored ad. Why? Well because the whole setup brings forth a feeling of confidence about the advertiser. People don't ignore a text ad as easily as they do a graphical banner.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing to note is that graphical banners have become even less profitable nowadays. It is because of this that many people are walking away from affiliate type networks to AdSense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, there are bad effects as well, with people making websites solely for the purpose of running AdSense on them and just as well, with a large phenomenon of 'click fraud', people creating artificial clicks for various reasons.&lt;br /&gt;But Google does try to control such behavior, and really isn't to be blamed for such individuals' actions. All in all Google AdSense is transforming the way the Internet works and it's doing so mostly in a good way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now those with ideas can write them down, and make money from them. Those looking for content can find it easier, and those looking to attract a customer base can do so in a targeted way. Adsense has changed the internet through supporting the economic interests of businesses, and the utility of consumers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-8827381735638352795?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/HR2_D76mG7g" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/HR2_D76mG7g/how-adsense-changed-internet.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-adsense-changed-internet.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-4454626549199183560</guid><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-30T20:32:13.379-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adsense</category><title>Adsense and the Surfer</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_633dAkRr2zo/S2UHPYoiwuI/AAAAAAAAABQ/xw7Wxu-7tFQ/s1600-h/adsenseincome.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_633dAkRr2zo/S2UHPYoiwuI/AAAAAAAAABQ/xw7Wxu-7tFQ/s320/adsenseincome.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432756486384304866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AdSense is an easy program to grasp: it's a great form of an advertising bringing a lot of benefits to every person in the chain. And of course, seeing the results it can have on a business (and a publisher) people encourage this form of publicity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the browsing audience this is probably the most straightforward model available, because they can be directed to a lot of new sites they wouldn't have otherwise found. Needless to say, if you have an AdSense banner on your site, and a large number of visitors you'll know it offers a great financial benefit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why does it work for the people clicking the links, as opposed to a standard approach?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is aided by today's society. With bloggers and information based articles on the internet, people may be encouraged to complete purchases, which adsense can provide links to relevant suppliers whilst also benefiting the publisher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the good thing about this is that it works for site visitors as well. In fact Google realized that by pleasing the people who are looking for something, and directing them to what they need faster, everybody wins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is because of this that a lot of websites promote through AdSense in both content and search. They do it because they ultimately learned that it works for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we look in the past, we can realize that this kind of publicity has a great impact over the people, especially in the last few years. When we enter on a web site and we see a graphical banner, our first idea is to cancel it out of our mind, because it's of no concern to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why traditional banner advertising is wrong. It's precisely because people are becoming savvy that they don’t look at a flashy banner because they think they'll be losing their time with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've gotten accustomed to banners that don't interest us. And we're accustomed to them having nice graphics. So we naturally associate the two things and think that a banner with nice graphics has nothing to tell us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we might look at a text-ad because we've grown accustomed to them being targeted at what we're looking for. Basically these advertisements have marketed themselves into being looked at by any visitor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a typical "no fluff, just stuff" situation. And in the end it means the visitors will see what they're interested in, not some random cool graphics you throw at them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As stated above, site visitors adopt this advertising mechanism, because it is efficient in leading them to pages of interest and can offer ton of things they really want to see. Someone coming across an article on adsense was probably looking for shoes or doing research on shoes when they came across the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And most importantly for everyone, including visitors, this scheme can only improve as the process gets further refined to make ads more relevant to what you're looking for, not just a couple of keywords on a site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nowadays, it is because of AdSense that Internet surfers are looking after more interesting related things from banners, and the companies behind the site (Google and the advertiser) need to have better ideas to display, as expectations have increased a great deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So could "Do no evil" actually work in today's cut throat competitive marketplace? Well, as you can see it can and it does. And you, as a visitor are the one who gets to enjoy this the most. Advertising becomes less of a burden and more of a benefit, and is still a benefit you can choose to ignore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Less obtrusive banners; banners that you're actually likely to be interested in and click means you'll be less annoyed by surfing the web and feel like you as a visitor being offered a relevant service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although some may feel reluctant to read articles that are there purely to compel consumers, undoubtedly without this consideration they are useful. Ultimately the adverts mean that you don’t have to go back to your homepage every time you are compelled to complete a purchase.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-4454626549199183560?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/A1jrZHa5INU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/A1jrZHa5INU/adsense-and-surfer.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_633dAkRr2zo/S2UHPYoiwuI/AAAAAAAAABQ/xw7Wxu-7tFQ/s72-c/adsenseincome.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/01/adsense-and-surfer.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-797918848574132294</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-20T09:50:32.501-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Advertising</category><title>Advertising Online For Free - 10 Things They Don't Want You To Know</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;So your looking to advertise online for free? Here are 10 things that your competitors would kill to keep from you! Select the methods you think will work well in your business and implement them and watch the traffic flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Social Bookmarking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These sites can get you a load of traffic as well as links to your site that will help with your “Search Engine Optimization” (getting into the search engines) You can find a list of the top 20 social bookmarking sites below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * twitter&lt;br /&gt;   * digg.com&lt;br /&gt;   * Yahoo! Buzz&lt;br /&gt;   * tweetmeme.com&lt;br /&gt;   * StumbleUpon.com&lt;br /&gt;   * reddit.com&lt;br /&gt;   * Technorati.com&lt;br /&gt;   * del.icio.us&lt;br /&gt;   * kaboodle.com&lt;br /&gt;   * mixx.com&lt;br /&gt;   * Propeller.com&lt;br /&gt;   * newsvine.com&lt;br /&gt;   * Fark.com&lt;br /&gt;   * Slashdot.org&lt;br /&gt;   * twine.com&lt;br /&gt;   * clipmarks.com&lt;br /&gt;   * dzone.com&lt;br /&gt;   * faves.com&lt;br /&gt;   * blinklist.com&lt;br /&gt;   * diigo.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Squidoo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a good site that you can can submit content to. It was made by “Seth Godin” author of 20 books about internet marketing, the most famous are his “Unleashing the Ideavirus” and “Permission marketing”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This site will allow you to setup a page that is called a lens. You are allowed to freely promote your own products or other peoples from this page. These pages rank well in the search engines so you can get a lot of free traffic if you do some keyword research before hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Hub Pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is similar to Squidoo and has the same features except instead of lens you are creating pages called “Hubs” and the site creator is obviously a different person, these pages also rank very well in the search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Wet Paint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the same concept as Squidoo and Hub Pages, but has a lot of features that these two websites don't. It also ranks well in search engines and is worth syndicating your content to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Forum Marketing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is often an overlooked method but can be very effective at getting traffic, as long as you have something useful to share or join in the conversation and add value people will be curious to check out your forum signature that will contain your tag line and website link for more information about what it is you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. Article Directories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a great method for getting exposure, there are literally hundreds of article directories out there 3 of the biggest ones are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and articlebase.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Benefits of submitting articles to these directories?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ezine Publishers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People who publish online newsletters will browse these sites looking for articles they can publish in their newsletter if your article is good enough and this happens then you get get hundreds if not thousands of visits in one day. This is the holy grail of article marketing, this is what everyone is trying to make happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Web Masters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;people who have websites and Blogs will also look for articles they can publish on their website, you get two benefits here not only do you get traffic from their website, but you can get back links to your website that will help with your search engine optimization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Search Engine Traffic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These article sites rank well in the search engines so if it is targeted at the correct keywords you can get a tun of free traffic to your article and eventually your website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;On Site Traffic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also get a decent amount of traffic internally from the site search, this is traffic that you would never be able to get unless you had the article on their site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pre Sold Prospects&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other major benefit with article marketing is that if you have done your job in providing valuable content then the people that click though your links at the bottom will convert much higher than other traffic you may get from other sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. Classified Ad Sites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the success of the biggest free classified ad site “Craigslist” which has 20 million visitors every month hundreds of other smaller ones are opening up everywhere. These sites allow you to post free classified ads and have people searching and browsing them looking for stuff. The second biggest in the USA is Backpage the biggest in the UK is called Gumtree. Its worth looking into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. YouTube&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Video marketing is a good way of getting prospects to your website, have an article? A “how to” guide you could make that is complementary to what your offering on your website? Why not make a video and post it to Youtube and get some traffic. You can also submit it to loads of other high traffic video sites. If you want 35 of the top sites to to submit to, I have a concise list on day 3 of my free 5 day e-course. You will find more information on how to get this e-course at the end of this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. WikiHow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This site is starting to get a lot of traction in terms of traffic and is ranking well in the search results. It is basically a site that allows people to submit “How To” tutorials and can be used to get a load of free traffic for your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. Free Press Release Sites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can be a good way to get your story out, journalists that write for magazines, newspapers and even TV channels look for press releases that they can use for a story. If yours gets chosen then you can get a lot of free publicity, two you can have look into are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   * PR Leap&lt;br /&gt;   * PR Blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author: Ben Harbour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-797918848574132294?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/Dcz8hwI430E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/Dcz8hwI430E/advertising-online-for-free-10-things.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/01/advertising-online-for-free-10-things.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-6747776810994043072</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-21T19:39:10.195-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Advertising</category><title>Affordable Website Promotion - The Top 20 Proven Methods</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Introduction    Starting a business online or moving your existing offline business online can be a lot of fun if you get the right advice. The first problem most people face is the uncertainty of how to promote your website effectively and with a measurable ROI (Return On Investment) if you would like to know the “Top 10 Proven Methods” to promote your website then read on....   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Free Advertising Methods&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Search Engine Optimization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is basically the task of optimizing your web pages to appear in the search engines and get free traffic, it is a very lengthy and complicated subject but I'll try and give you a brief overview of how it works, and if you want a more complete and detailed guide you will find one on day 2 of my free 5 day e-course which will be linked at the bottom of this article.   You will need to make sure that your website is not made entirely in flash as this will cause problems with indexing (adding to the search engine database). You will need to make sure that the keywords and phrases that you would most like to rank for are included in these 3 key areas of your web page which are your url, page title, page content.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;You Will Need To Get Links&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also need to get links from other websites to point to your website, the more links you have the better you will rank (its a bit more complicated than this but it is simplified for this article). You will need to go get some links from other sites.   The best ways of getting these can be from web 2.0 sites, like Squidoo and Hub Pages, there are also thousands of website directories online that you can submit for free to, and again the same with article sites you can submit content   and get a link back as well.   You can also use social bookmarking sites, and if your web page has an RSS feed then you can submit these to RSS directories too (not sure what RSS is? Don t worry it will be covered in detail in the free 5 day e-course mentioned further down this page).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Web 2.0 Sites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As well as getting back links to your website from these pages they also rank very well in the search engines and get extra exposure for your content that will pre-sell your prospects into visiting your website. Such sites include, Squidoo, Hub Pages, Wet Paint, Blogger, Wordpress and many more.   They also all come with RSS feeds that can be submitted to RSS directories for extra links. Remember the more links that these pages have the more import the search engines will see that link being when its pointing to your main website, so build links on these intermediary pages too it will help with your Search Engine Optimization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Article Syndication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article marketing can be a fantastic way of generating free residual traffic of highly qualified prospects to your web page, there are many article sites you can submit to. The top 3 of these are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and articlebase.com. They all have very high rankings in the search engines and have a lot of traffic. There are of course hundreds more that you can submit to if you feel like it.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What are the benefits of article syndication?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;You can take advantage of the search engine positioning of the article sites and get free search engine traffic to your articles and then to your website.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get a lot of on site traffic from people already at the website   By providing valuable content to your prospects by the time they visit your website they are pre-sold and will be more receptive to what it is your offering.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It allows other website owners to post your article to their website on the condition that they leave your resource box intact which means you get a link back to your website as well as visitors that are reading your article on their website to come and visit yours.   Online newsletter publishers will sometimes publish your article in their newsletter and you could have hundreds or thousands of visitors as a result.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Video Marketing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many online video sites such as Youtube, where anyone can post videos for free, these sites get a lot of traffic and the videos can sometimes go viral and get millions of views. There are about 35 main video sites worth posting too, if you want the complete list and links to software that can automate the submission process you will find information on this on day 3 of of my free 5 day e-course that you can signup for, you will find more information about this at the bottom of this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Forum Marketing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an often overlooked but still effective strategy for getting traffic, most forums allow you to setup and use a signature, this will appear at the bottom of every post or thread you start in the forum. Simply by joining a forum that is related to your website and joining in with the discussion will start to get you some residual traffic as a result.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Viral eBook Reports    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are writing articles and content, you can also turn this into and ebook with links to your site, and give it away for free in your newsletter or submit it to one of the many ebook directories that exist on the Internet just Google the keyword “ebook directory” to find them.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Opted In List    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should be collecting the email address of visitors to your website when ever you can, once collected and you have a mailing list you can contact them with offers or updates at no advertising costs. If your building a web based business this is something that you really have to do or you will be leaving 80% of your profit on the table.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Affiliate Marketing    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have your own product, you can setup an affiliate program and have other people sell your products or service on a commission only basis, this is an effective strategy and a pillar of success for many online business models.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Joint Ventures    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a product? Why not do a join venture with someone that has a newsletter, have a blog why not do a JV and swop links with another Blogger that you think your visitors might like. You can JV for all kinds of things, be creative try and find a synergy where both parties benefit.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Paid Methods Of Advertising     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Banner Space    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can contact website owners that have a relevant web page and inquire about banner advertising, if you get the right price and good targeting it can give you a good ROI.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Adwords Pay Per Click    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a service run by Google that allows you bid of search engine keywords to have your advert appear next to the search results, depending on your market you may pay anywhere from $0.05 cents and upwards per click.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Yahoo Pay Per Click    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a service run by Yahoo that allows you bid of search engine keywords from yahoo   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MSN Pay Per Click &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;This is a service owned by Microsoft that allows you bid of search engine keywords form the MSN search engine.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Media Traffic Pay Per View  &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is a company that allows you get pop up traffic, the minimum bid is $0.015. Yes that is one and a half cents a view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;eZine Advertising    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can be a fantastic way of getting massive amounts of targeted traffic very quickly, a lot of people who publish online newsletters allow advertisers to buy advertising in their newsletter.   A “Solo Ad” which is where they mail you advert on its own to there entire list will useally cost approximately $10 per 1000 subscribers. So for example a newsletter of 30,000 people could cost you $300.   There are newsletters in all kinds of sizes and topics to choose from the best place to find them is to do a search for “ezine directory” in Google and you can find sites that list ezines, some will even tell you if they accept advertising.   The traffic comes in quite fast after the mailing is done between 1 – 2 days should see about 80% of it done, the rest will come in over the following 3 days and not very much then after. It is important to measure the results form ezine ads and test out different ad copy, you can use a link tracking service called budurl.com for tracking links for free. This will allow you to track how many people clicked on the link in the ad.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Online Classified Ad Sites &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;There are many free online classified ad sites springing up everywhere the biggist of these is Craigslist next to them would be Backpage and Gumtree. You can post free classified ads on these sites for all kinds of categories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Offline Classified Ads&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;A good tactic to use is get a small lineage ad in the a real magazine or paper and use the smallest ad they sell to convince people to visit your website, where you bigger advert can be, you can use the online classified ad sites to test out different ad copy to find out what converts best before placing this ad, this can save you a lot of money.   Remember to create curiosity in this ad don't try and sell the product sell the idea of them visiting the web page and let the website do the rest of the work. (you can find a complete list of classified ad sites and instructions on how to post to these sites in day 4 of my free 5 day e-course the link to this will be at the bottom of this article)   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Facebook    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facebook allows you to advertise based on the demographic information of their user base. They use the pay per click model like the search engines do but you will find it a little bit cheaper due to less competition. But the fact your bidding on demographic information rather than keywords makes it a bit harder to get used to if you have been used to search engine marketing. But its an effective strategy none the less   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;eBay Classified Ads&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;eBay started to do a service known as classified ads, which for the first time when it was introduced allowed you to promote 3rd party websites from with in eBay without violating their policies.   Ebay has a wealth of traffic just waiting to be exploited. The good thing about ebay traffic is that everyone there is a buyer they went there intending to buy something or looking for something that they may want to buy so they are quite easy to sell to.   Alternatively if you selling physical products then you could look at selling them on eBay directly your self with out any need to send traffic to your main website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Author: Ben Harbour&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2934203596545662615-6747776810994043072?l=longliveadsense.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~4/EWQZfYNFQhw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdsenseAffiliateMarketing/~3/EWQZfYNFQhw/affordable-website-promotion-top-20.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Camber)</author><feedburner:origLink>http://longliveadsense.blogspot.com/2010/01/affordable-website-promotion-top-20.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934203596545662615.post-661863187940689160</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jan 2010 17:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-01-16T10:07:34.369-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SEO</category><title>reason why search engine optimization is similar to social media optimization</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Seospidy is most affordable seo company from India offering best seo services, from expert group of search engine optimizers. we offer economical ,packages including search engine optimization, social media optimization, pay per click management, multilingual seo, article writing, directory submission, email marketing, link building etc. SEO Spidy provides you comprehensive and customized, Ethical SEO methodology and web promotion which covers the ultimate goal of generating matching prospects to your website.

Whether you are the owner of a small static web site or manage a huge dynamic web site, we have exclusive SEO packages to suit your web site and well within your budget.   Three reasons why search engine optimization and social media optimization are similar:   1. Users tell you what’s wrong and you can respond   Your users are the most valuable resource you have. Not only do they give you their personal information, hard earned cash and/or attention, they give you feedback on how you can serve them better.   In social media this comes in a push/pull fashion, allowing you to alert users about your own actions, as well as respond directly to their immediate concerns. The same happens with search engine optimization, except that it occurs naturally as users interact with your website. Their actions reveal flaws in your offers, messaging and design and you can use that information to build a better experience and new tests.   2. Time sensitive   You wouldn’t blog or tweet the same thing every day, so why would you keep your website static?  Optimization allows your website to be responsive to your user’s current needs.  Anything from a change in opinion to seasonality effects to new website marketing campaigns can cause a need to adjust your website.   While some items don’t need to be changed for long periods, you should constantly question whether what you are using is also what’s best.   3. It is a competitive advantage   Social media optimization has caught on, however few companies are using it to its full potential. search engine Optimization is in a similar boat but it’s even earlier it its life. How many social media experts can you name versus optimization experts?   Starting an search engine optimization program now means you’ll be that much further ahead once testing becomes mainstream.   In summary, search engine optimization is rapidly becoming a basic part of the internet marketing landscape.  With this new technology come more opportunities to win new customers and retain current ones.  However, making the most out of it will be what separates the winners from the losers.
