If you read The
Search Engine Showdown, you know Google is my favourite search engine.
Why? Google always offers the most results for any given search (they currently have
over 8 billion pages indexed), it's faster than the Audi Quattro we test drove this
morning, and 9 times out of ten, in my experience, all the front page results are
relevant to my search. In fact, I usually find what I'm looking for within the first few
sites listed. I also really respect the fact that two college kids started it (kinda like
Abalone Designs!) and that those two college kids seem not to have forgotten where
they
came from. If you check out the images at Google's press center (http://
) and scroll down to the Everyday Life Inside
Google section, you'll get a feeling that life at Google is fun.
Google is the most used search engine on the web. In May, 2004, 36.8% of all
searches on the web were done using Google. Also during that month, Google
powered 54% of all searches done on the web (Read more about these figures here).
Google owes their success to their mind-boggling algorithm. This intricate formula
sucks in a web page, considers its keyword density, its link popularity, domain
name, how often it is updated, the amount of content in the site, and a myriad of
other things that few know and spits out a number called PageRank. There is
absolutely no way to be sure how to get your site to number one on Google, but
there are a few things that we know can help:
Make sure your site is well organized, visitor friendly and useful. Google seems to
like sites that are listed in the Open Directory Project, and my theory is that it's
because the Open Directory Project is human edited. This means real human eyes
have looked at each site that is included in the directory and deemed it useful in
some way or another. If your site has a link on The Open Directory Project, you're on
the right track.
Avoid "spamming". Spamming refers to many different things. If you add keywords
to your site that are out of context or hidden from plain view, it's considered
spamming. Resubmitting your site to Google can be looked upon as spamming. The
basic principal is to make sure every page on your site is professional looking,
clean, organized and has its own unique information to offer.
Try to trade links with good quality sites that you like, 'cause if you like them,
chances are they have something to offer and Google will recognize that. The more
good quality sites around the web that have links pointing to your site, the higher
your link popularity will be.
Stay away from hi-tech sites unless you offer an alternative. ie. If your site has been
designed in Flash, try to offer a plain HTML version of the site. Google can index
flash but it's not likely that it will be indexed well, and your ranking will suffer.
Frames are also a no-no. Although Google can index framed sites as well, again, the
ranking can suffer and more importantly, frames are universally recognized in our
industry as hideous!
Keep the content on each page to a decent level. You don't want too much content,
but you definitely do not want too little. A good way to judge what a good content
level is, is to search for the #1 ranking site for the keywords you wish to target, and
see how much content they have. Make your content keyword-rich, but don't make
it so full of keywords that it sounds ridiculous to visitors. You want to keep the
visitors you get from Google, right?
Google almost always offers you the best resource for your query due to the fact
that all of these things matter to them. They are also always trying to find ways to
improve on the Google Algorithm so they can continue to offer us the best service.
Every once in a while we hear about this new search engine and that new search
engine, but no one seems to have been able to catch up. As long as this remains
true, these simple tips will be applicable.
Thousands of webmasters are making money with AdSense all over the Internet. Are you one of them? If not, you need to know how you can become one of Google's partners and have a share in that billion dollars company.
To make money with Google adsense, you need three things:
1) A website (or a blog),
2) The AdSense code.
3) An Internet Connection
It is all that you need to start earning a steady AdSense revenue. You don't even need money to start since you can set up a free blog or deal with a free web hosting provider to get your AdSense site up and running.
So why many webmasters are roaming in forums and asking for tips and methods to make money with adsense? Why Internet marketers are making a fortune online selling AdSense ebooks and videos?
This is happening because making money with AdSense is tough, and it is more than difficult to get a steady AdSense revenue. You need to learn how to earn with adsense, and for that you have only two ways:
1) Buy an AdSense ebook or a video tutorial
2) Spend hours reading AdSense threads in forums
If you have more time than money, go ahead and tape AdSense + forums in Google and start reading first. Only after you read and understand what AdSense is all about and how you can make money with adsense, start asking specific questions.
Don't ask general things like: "How can I make money with adsense", or "How do you make money with adsense". It's too general, and you will not get any specific answer that result in an increase in your AdSense revenue.
Here are some tips to get you started on the right track:
1) To make money with adsense, you need visitors. What you need to do is to start article marketing and send visitors towards your AdSense pages.
2) Place your ads above the content of your page. Rectangles are doing well in this case.
3) Even better: Blend the ads in your text. You will just need to add a little piece of html code () in your html beside the AdSense code.
Write good content and optimize your money making AdSense pages for SEO. I mean that you should do a proper keyword research and add your title and header tags (h1) for Google to display the matching your topic ads.
There is a lot more to learn to earn a steady AdSense revenue, and the most important thing is to take action, test and track everything and repeat over and over.
