Google Adsense Dos and Don'ts!!!

What you should NOT do: Never change the Google AdSense HTML code. If this is a mystery to you, good. It's not something you want to learn. Don't ask your friends and your relatives to click on your Google ads and never hint to your visitors to click on the ads either. This is fraud and they will come after you. Never label the Google ads with text that says anything other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements." You know who will get you, right? Never click on the ads that are on your page. Google has prepared for this, and they will know. This is fraud and they will come after you. Never put a Google ad block in a pop-up window or in error pages. Not even on empty pages. You don't want to put something on a page just to try to make money on an accidental click. Again, this is fraud and will not work for long. Webmasters can make AdSense more successful by focusing on attracting more visitors to their sites. There are several ways to accomplish this. Improving content is critical, as visitors are more likely to view the site when it holds quality material. Market to the right people, and take every opportunity to give the website URL exposure. Develop a mailing list, create a newsletter, offer a free item to encourage sign-ups, and publish a form on the website that allows visitors to request more information. This is all free advertising, which keeps viewers aware of the website and encourages new viewers to visit. The more of it that is done, the faster traffic will increase and the more clicks on Google ads you will get and the more money you will make.

A must know Google AdSense rule is; do not click on your own ads. Google use a number of methods to monitor click behaviour (location, IP address, statistics etc.). They have made AdSense a viable scheme by ensuring that the whole system is policed and regulated tightly. They have been involved in the game longer than most, so no one can get away with clicking on their own ads without getting caught. The same rule applies to encouraging, friends, families, colleagues and acquaintances. Google can easily detect click fraud. So don't tell your friends about your AdSense ads if you want to continue using the scheme. It's the easiest way to get you banned.

The Google AdSense program is a great way to earn an additional income for most webmasters and a big income for some who have made it the main source of revenue.

Search Engine Optimization: Top 3 Tips

I that this blog is almost 6 months old, I believe I have a little bit of experience about what to blog and how to optimize it. There are many tips for search engine optimization that I have discussed in my previous posts. But now that I have a good amount of data to share more with you guys lets start with the top three tips. My following posts will be a sequence of this post so don't forget to follow AskThatGuru for more.

1. Do not purchase a new domain unless you have to. If you have noticed the search engines put a lot of stock in how long your website and domain have been around. While you can purchase a new domain and redirect your old one to the new one, your best bet is to use your existing domain/website if at all possible. If you're redesigning or starting from scratch and you have to use a brand-new domain for some reason, you can expect at least somewhat of a loss in search engine traffic. It could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months or more.
2. Optimize your site for your target audience, not for the search engines. This may sound counterintuitive, but hear me out. The search engines are looking for pages that best fit the keyword phrase someone types into their little search box. If those "someones" are typing in search words that relate to what your site offers, then they are most likely members of your target audience. You need to optimize your site to meet *their* needs. If you don't know who your target audience is, then you need to find out one way or another. Look for studies online that might provide demographic information, and visit other sites, communities, or forums where your target audience might hang out and listen to what they discuss. This information will be crucial to your resulting website design, keyword research, and copywriting.
3. Research your keyword phrases extensively. The phrases you think your target market might be searching for may very well be incorrect. To find the optimal phrases to optimize for, use research tools such asKeywordDiscovery, Wordtracker or Google's Keyword Tool. Compile lists of the most relevant phrases for your site, and choose a few different ones for every page. Never shoot for general keywords such as "travel" or "vacation," as they are rarely (if ever) indicative of what your site is really about.

Organic SEO

There are many paid ways that we have discussed in my previous posts. But bringing unpaid traffic trough keywords and related content is called organic search engine optimization. Pay attention to search engine because search engine loves good number of highly used keywords by you in your blog/ website and in return you get organic traffic.

A key to get organic traffic is to use what people like to search and what are the latest trends of search. You can always search latest trends and what are the latest topic on Google trends. Check what's is people liking these days in your field and by your field I mean the topic that your blog is all about. For example if you have a blog about latest gadgets try searching words like 4G technology or tablet PC etc. The most searched keywords are the words that you must use in your content.  The file names of your blogs must be meaningful and closer to the keywords that are most searched and you are already using them inside the content of your page. Inside contents make good use of synonyms of the keywords.

Get internal and external links for your website. Your blog should direct your user to other related and informative sites that you think are helpful to your user. In this way you get good credit and also better ranking among search results.

Use Appropriate Keywords in Image File Names

There are many websites and blogs that have made to the top rank due to their appropriate keywords in image file names. In fact, one of my websites gets hundreds of visits a month from people who are searching for images. I'm not sure how valuable those visitors are, but most importantly I didn't have to do anything very special to get them, except putting my blog name under each of the image that I upload to my website.
 

Google Images- makes it easy for people to search for their required images online. To make your image appear among the top results you must assign it a unique and rich with keywords name. This is done by naming the image file that you are going to upload, with rich keywords. For example if you have a blog about "pets" and you upload 3-4 images per post, you must name cat image as "best kitten ever" or may be "cutest cat".

Now the question raises ............. why?

Here's a tip I just discovered... When I searched in Google Images for my "cat blog" there come the images which were decent but I don't find much of those uninteresting and simple. I was rather wondering for the natural but unique images of cats doing different kind of funny things, and there came the moment of "Aa, Ha!". I decided to upload images of my cats doing funny stuff and upload those images titling "cutest cats" and "funny cats" etc. 

But there is one thing that you must remember is the number of search results of your keywords. When I started back in 2004 building websites and blogs it was easy to target the audience but now its a bit difficult job to do since there are 1.27 Million results of "cutest cat" images. So you got to hit the market by getting traffic from other sources and techniques and consider your images as an additional traffic source.
