A tip for blogger. People try to upload photos to blogs. This won’t help you to get the alt tags. You may enjoy the unlimited bandwidth of blogger or other blogs publishing websites, but your image traffic won’t increase from this. The solution for this is, open a free geocities website. It is free so you won’t have to pay anything. A yahoo geocities account can be used with a free yahoo account. Then simply logon to your account, and upload a picture. Make sure that the picture is not any more wider than 400 pixels. Then upload it, and copy the full URL of the image. As suggested above use the img src command to put your picture on the page. This is very simple, and you won’t have to pay anything to do this. This is how alt attributes work with blogger.
Prevent yourself from getting banned from adsense.
1) Read the tos and programe policy of adsense. And follow all that very strictly. Remember it changes as well, so keep looking it as frequently as possible.
2) Don’t tell your adsense websites to anyone you know. Friends and family should never know about your adsense websites or blogs. If any friend get’s your adsense links, he may click your ads to help you, and you can get banned. Moreover if your friend turns enemy then you will sure have problems.
3) Don’t make enemies online. Avoid enemies on Internet, as they might give your ads a 20 click and you can get banned instantly.
4) Do not click on your own ads. I don’t think I need to tell you, still am saying because many of you think that clicking once doesn’t hurt, but am telling you one click is enough for your adsense to say goodbye.
5) Google’s crawlers knows everything, don’t try to cheat them. If you play honestly then it will help you more than anyone else.
6) Try to make content, rather than optimize for keywords as made for adsense websites are not tolerated by google any more.
7) Don’t buy duplicate content, or the adsense templates, these same templates are used by so many people, google may ban you for duplicate content.
8) Don’t edit your ads, you already get a lot of opportunities to get a desired ad format and color, there is absolutely no reason to edit your ads once you get it.
9) Don’t put your ads in pages with less content. Also mp3 and video download sites are a violation of the tos so avoid those aswell.
10) To say the least, adsense is not allowed for porn and adult content pages, so stay away from those pages.
Try to make websites and blogs to improve the Internet, add resource and knowledge in text, so that Internet becomes a better place. Don’t create pages simply to make money. Ask yourself, if there is no adsense, will you still be making these websites etc. your primary reason to make websites should not be to make money from adsense. Rather adsense should be treated as an optional feature, that makes your website better.
Remember it’s better to play safe when you are with adsense. An adsense account once blocked is gone for ever.
Google analytics is the best place where you can know where your website’s traffic is coming from. https://www.google.com/analytics/home/ . You can see the graph which will tell you from where your traffic comes from. It can be from any part of the world, and then you know, how popular your blog or website is in which part of the glove. For using this, you need to copy the tracker. The tracker code will be available when you register your website with analytics. When you will paste that code in your website, you will be able to track your website. More of less this service is reliable. And most other free services that give such facilities are not so accurate. We have seen using most counters, they even count your visit if a person dose a refresh of the page. I will also give you another website which dose somewhat the same work. But the free service of this website is also not that bad. Actually it as more features than the analytics. You can try this website as well.
Article writing is the best method of getting backlinks. You can write thousands of articles and submit them is hundreds of article submission websites. This is the best way to develop backlinks. Article submission is better than directory submission, because article submission websites are not blacklisted as most directory submission. And most of all, there is not much difference between directory submission and link exchanges. Directory submission is better, if you are submitting on page rank 6 directories or above, but there is very few pagerank 6 and above directories available. On the article submission sites, page rank 6 is pretty common.
Any search engine bot indexes links easily with they get unique contents, so writing articles are is the best way to do it.
So, what are the things you should look at, while selecting an article submission website. First of all, check the page rank, if the google page rank of an article submission website is not available then stay away from that website. There is no harm in a page rank 0 website, in case the website’s pagerank is grey which says, “this website is not currently ranked by google”, means it’s a blacklisted website. This is known as “grey shade”. Page rank can be found in google toolbar. Also there is no use to submit page rank 0 websites also. So target your articles in page rank 4 and above website to gain proper backlinks.
Write an article describing your website. Take time and write as long as possible. Check your article for spelling and grammar, as most of article submission websites won’t accept wrong English articles. You can also get your articles written by some professionals if you are unable to write quality English. Most article submission websites have a resource box, so you enter your website’s URL’s there. When the article will be submitted, and approved. It will be posted in the article submission websites. Your article will have your website’s URL listed there. When the search engine crawlers will read the article, they will also index your website, or crawl your website. This way you can get your website indexed, and increase your page rank. This is one of the most important part of seo today.
Take your time, slowly submit your articles, and keep submitting them as often as you can. Try to write more article, rather than submitting the same articles again and again. One word of advice, first publish those articles in your website. Then wait for the search engines to index that article. After that submit that article to as many websites as you can, this way the original content remains with you.
Search in google by “article submission” and you will find all the article submission websites. Keep submitting all your articles to get a lot of backlinks.

We have already discussed the tips section, now let's get on to the advanced section. One click can pay you $100 and another can pay you 1cent. The amount that you are paid per click depends on the bidding of your advertisers. Some advertiser dose more bidding and some do less.
Why do people bid more? Just imagine a person bidding $40 for a single click. If you were an advertiser how much would you bid, well I would bid the lowest possible! Then why these people are bidding so much. The answer is, publishers like the more bidding ads, and most of all your keyword is included in every publishers content if you bid more, right.
Now am giving your a list of words that are high paying, so if you include these words in your content, then you can enjoy some great clicks.
This list can go more, but i hope the message is clear, the medical terms get's more money. Anyways we will talk of some more adsense money increasing methods in the next post.
Now in the above picture, you can see the option default google palate, there you can always chose “open air”. Also you have the colors option. Like the background color “ffffff” this is the white color. But my blog’s background is not white. My blog’s background color for the right side ads zone is “E3F0FB”, so I will put this color code there, in the ads background color.
This is the best way to blend the ads. Chose the ads background as the same as the Website or blogs background, chose the same for the border as well. Then chose the ads text color as the same as the rest of your content’s color. This way your ads will look as a part of your site. You will get better clicks this way.
After your ads are blend you need to understand what is the best ads format that will help your earnings. The square ads format like the 250*250 pixels ads, get you more click, than the straight or vertical banners. The 160*600 type of ads dose not get enough traffic, so forget all that. Get any of the square ad units, that will help you to make more money out of adsense.
The referral blocks don’t pay too much. So prefer not to use it. The search and referrals don’t work out great for most people, unless ofcourse you have your content optimized for firefox or picassa etc.
The link unit 728*15 gives a high click through, but then it has to be optimized well, and also it needs to be kept on top.
Any ad unit work well, only when it’s in the top 800*600 pixels area of the website. So it’s better to keep your ads block in this region of your website. Also when you have one large page with lot’s of content, prefer all the three ad unit as the 250 square unit, and put it surrounded by the content of your website. That way you will earn more money, and get more clicks.
Adsense is the best contextual ads network. People can make money from adsense, by displaying ads in their blogs and websites. There are lots of rules of adsense which are to be followed, because adsense is very strict and can ban your account. And remember, an adsense account once is banned forever.
How to join adsense and start earning. It is easy to join adsense if you have a blogger account. blogs from blogger get approved faster than any other websites. Go to blogger and make a blog. Since you are reading this blog, means you are already at blogger. Just create an account, make a blog, and post a few pages of quality content. If you read my entire blog you will learn how to get a successful blog. Then you can get traffic, learn about feeds etc. after that copy your blogs URL, and go to google.com/adsense and apply for adsense. Give the necessary details and then and in the place of your website or blog, give the URL of your blog you created in blogger. This is the easiest way to get into adsense.
Once your account is created and approved you can login to your adsense account. There is in adsense setup tab you can get your adsense code. Just paste that code in your blog. After that whenever a visitor clicks your ads you will be paid. Remember one thing, don’t click on your ads, also don’t ask anyone to click on your ad. If you visitor feels that the ads are of any interest to them, they will click those ads themselves. Read the full tos of google adsense, and the program policies. And follow those terms carefully else you may get banned, then all your money will be lost. It takes $100 before you payment is processed. So before that you will not get any payment.
What is the method to increase your payment? We will discuss these in the next post. As of now, just add contents, unique contents, write whatever you want; as text is the only content that google loves. So type in what every you know. It is important to start a blog on your favorite topic, else you will run out of your text. Just see this blog, it is just 2 weeks old, and there is already a lot of unique text has been added. This is the reason why this blog got indexed in google less than one week.
In this section we will discuss the various opportunities of earning money by displaying ads from different ads network. Google’s adsense is the best contextual ads network, but we will not discuss this one here, there will be separate posts where only adsense will be discussed. In this post I will explain all the other ads network which gives money for displaying ads in your website’s and blogs.
How dose these ads network work? Where is the money coming and where it’s going?
An ad network maintains an equilibrium between the publishers and the advertisers. The publishers has the traffic on there websites and blogs. Now the advertisers are people who are looking for quality content targeted traffic. For that advertisers pay these ads network, and then the ads network publish ads on any publishers site or blog, and the advertisers get there traffic. This is how the ad networks work.
Let’s take this website to begin with. As in every other ad websites, there are two parts. One is for advertisers and the other is for publishers. Publishers get’s paid for every click, and there is also a $20 free clicks for advertisers. One thing that I like about this ad network is, it shows the bidders. you can see what is the highest amount per click on any webpage. And the top bidders will be automatically placed on your website. Like I see a $5 click as the highest in my bids section. So am confident that some day when someone will click on that ad, I will get the $5 click. You can try this ads network, it’s pretty satisfactory.
Promote your Website with BidVertiser. Get $20 in FREE clicks.
Am now going to talk about an Indian ads network. this also has two parts where you can be an advertise or a publisher. There is also a feature that you can use your publishers money, the money you gain from showing ads in your website, to advertise your website. Also if you signup as a publisher, you can advertise 3 links for free, your links will be online for 1 month. This is cheap ads network, so you just get 4 cents per click. But then if you advertise your links, you just have to pay 6 cents. So here you can get some cheap traffic to your website. Also this network takes only websites, domain based quality websites are only accepted here, so, if you advertise in this network, then your ads will only be displayed on websites and not on blogs or any free pages.

There is also another site, which is my favorite. It is somehow integrated by alexa, and here your website’s or blogs value depends on alexa ranks. You earn more money from clicks if your alexa ranks are better.
I will be updating this page pretty frequently, so keep checking this for updates.
Get indexed in search engines in less than 24 hours of your site’s being online. This blog was indexed by search engines in a few days. This is mainly due to the feeds. Also the backlinks that I generate from articles and directory submission has a big role to play. But the feeds are a major reason why blogs get’s indexed faster than any websites. So, I suggest all the website’s to have a blog. You can try the word press and moveable type blogs. A blog will help your website getting indexed faster, also the crawling rates of search engine crawlers will increase. All you have to do is make a blog, then keep adding contents contents as frequently as possible.
Let’s get to the point now. What are feeds and how it will help to bring search engine bots and crawlers to blogs and websites?
Search engine robots, spiders, and crawlers etc, reads and understand xml easily. Now feeds are generally rss and atom. There is no use of understanding these in detail. The fact is, most people today like to read contents and news in there feed readers. And for that you will have to submit your blog’s feeds in a lot of feed submission websites.
You must have heard about the “my google” , “my yahoo” etc. these are your personal google and yahoo pages. You can customize your page and add feeds there, so that it is displayed in that page, and you can quickly get to read news from your favorite sources.
Ever heard of the blog and ping technique. When anyone submits your feed to the google or any other site, in there personal my google page, then the google crawler comes to the blog through the feed url and collects data from there. Just make a blog and ping it, this is the easiest way to get the crawlers to your website or blog. And also it is the quickest to get your site or blog indexed.
You can get feeds to help your blogs as well. I recommend this website for feeds http://www.feedburner.com/. This is a website where you simply create a free account. Then log in to it, and the copy your rss-xml or atom feeds etc and paste it in the homepage of the website. First register, then login, you must be registered to do all this properly. You get a profile page once you login, from there you enter your feeds url. After that you see your URL listed in your profile. Click on the listed URL, there you will get the control panel for your feeds. From there you can manage it. Give it more time, and then slowly you will know the importance of all this.
We have talked about unique contents, and also discussed about methods to get unique content. Now we will talk about getting your website’s each and every page indexed in search engines. So, what is the method of getting your entire website indexed in google.
Before discussing that, let me tell you how you will understand a website is indexed or not. Google toolbar gives a facility to check the cashed pages of a website, and that can be very helpful. You just check out that a particular web page is cashed by google or not, if not then the website or a particular page is not in google’s index.
How to get all your pages indexed. First of all try making your website static. A static page with a .html or a .php extension get’s indexed in any search engines faster than the URL’s with =, ?, & and id etc characters. Though many search engines indexed dynamic pages also, but then the importance of static page is more than the dynamic page and the static pages do well in the search engines, search results as well. You can also learn about the mod_rewrite function of apache to understand about it more.
The best way to index all your pages to search engines is to have a site map. A site map is a collection of your pages. A site map is advised for bigger websites, where the amount of pages are big. There are a lot of methods to make a site map. You can simply create a page in your website and add all your links there. Put a link to that page in the bottom of your home page as sitemap and then link it to the page with all your links.
Here am talking of some of the great site map creating websites. There are tools in the Internet, most of them are free and those tools generates sitemaps for your website. The software tool will find all the WebPages, in your website. It will list all your pages in a file and you have your sitemap ready. For better indexing there is also an xml sitemap option, as the search bots reads the xml easily, so you can upload an xml sitemap is you like. Here is the link to the websites http://gsitecrawler.com and there is one more http://xml-sitemaps.com/. There could be a thousand such websites, but it’s better to use these. This will help you to make proper sitemaps and google will index your site quickly.
Do you have the fear that your contents are being stolen. How to prevent this from happening. Most people use this website for protecting there unique contents, http://www.copyscape.com/. This website dose not do much, you can just put up a banner and that says don’t copy, this is a page protected by copyscape. This is not why I refer this website. There is a feature in the site that tells you how many duplicate contents you have for a particular url. Now this is a useful feature. You can type in your website’s URL and check for your duplicate contents in the web, then you can keep a track of website’s stealing your content.
There is one more method that you can follow. This is a very popular website, http://digg.com/. Just copy the full URL of your page, that has some unique content, and go to dig. Simply open a free account, and post your story. You will have to enter the URL of the story and then describe it in 350 characters. This way you get a free backlink and some free traffic. Also you submit your URL of the story so your page remains unique.
Technorati also dose a similar work. You can also try that. There is a lot of similar website, but I strongly suggest not to try them, try this digg website, this is a very popular one. You can try to add every article or content of your website to this digg website.
This topic will be updated and this post is not complete, so keep checking this, and I will upload more data in this page.
In the next post I will talk a bit about the rss and xml feed. That will help bloggers mostly. Though the feeds are a popular topic and most people know about this, but for those who want to know extra or those who don’t know about this yet, this could be an interesting topic.
