14 Jul 10 Loving the WordPress 3.0

I have recently updated all my websites to WordPress 3.0 version, the initial update is not much different from WordPress 2.xx, however, I find it very fascinating with the frequent updates with WordPress 3.0 version.

I have been blogging for quite sometimes and using WordPress since version 1.xx.xx so this is actually a big improvement for me.  I am definitely loving version 3.0 and I feel this version has been very less buggy when we upgraded into version 2.0, because within a week or two, we had to upgrade, I still remember.

However, this new version has been out for a couple of weeks and it looks fine. So, what do you feel about WP3.0 for your site? I am definitely enjoying new look, so far.

14 Jun 10 Google AdWords Keyword Tool

Have you ever tried Google Adwords keyword tool? If you haven’t, It is definitely the time you should have. I have been using it for a while and It has actually favored me a lot of kindness. And yes, It is also a money making site that is real and FREE. In order to make money online, everyone knows traffic is the most important thing, that is why we do blogging, writing and composing something that’s useful or beautiful. With unique content and search engine friendly SEO methods, the traffic is smooth and flowing.

However, sometimes you do have heaps of traffic and do not make enough conversation on affiliates, PPC and impressions. Because It is evident that your traffic flow is not enough to make you more money. Google keyword tool is one of the big differences to those who make money on a daily basis and those who are not. And you may probably not see everyday in millionaire blogs’ about this because half of them they sent are their affiliate links and more bait traffic.

Google Keyword Tool

Always try to search the keywords within your niche, choose all countries & make sure all keywords idea is clicked. Try to optimize your blog post or web page with similar keywords, meta description, tags and most importantly page title. However, It is important that you include them at optimal keyword density level in CONTENT (normally about 7%). Of course, relevancy and human readable is extremely important as well.

This is the secret people are making money and once you test it, you will know the difference as well. Make sure you have quality content website before you do this keyword optimization and never go out of your niche just to get the traffic. There are always good keywords that are paying good or earning good, which is totally different.  Many people end up earning not much because they focus on paying good with no determination and passion. Some people do what they love and constantly improving their websites and blogs, so that quality brings money as well. I have seen many people tend to click my ads because

• Ads are appealing with my posts
• Ads are relevant to my posts
• My content is useful to the readers
• I do not sell a thing on my blog
• I do not take high traffic from the readers &
• I do not implement black hat or grey hat SEO

Since I started my AdSense account, I was neither banned or penalized. And my average Page CTR is ranged 2.7% to 3.4% each payment period. For me, It is fantastic achievement and I am happy with the pay because I actually do 3 niches. Some niches are low paying niches, but the CTR rate is absolutely amazing. So, try and take advantage with Google Adwords Keyword Tool and make sure you focus on your quality of your content and properly optimize on-site SEO and off-site SEO. And experience yourself after a week or two you publish on the web, and see the differences with previous content.

Happy Making Money.

08 Jun 10 Keep up the good work and your site stats with free monitoring services

There is no easy way to make money, however, there is easy way not to lose money. Just add your site monitoring service to your website. If you don’t feel one is not realiable, then add two or three. Some of the services offer slightly different services that is making our sites even better because we can have broader range of free services from two different sites.

As I mentioned before, i will not write too much or digress with my posts at all. If you are looking for web site monitoring online services, this is the right post.

And as I have said before, i have tested and experienced before I post my entries, so that I can share my experiences with others, you save him, I enjoyed my experiences, both win-win situation. Anyway, out of all these services below, i stick with free web monitoring and monitor. But I prefer Monitor service because they offer unlimited profiles. Good for those who have several websites on different IPs.

1. Server Uptime
2. Montastic
3. Free Web Monitoring
4. Monitor
5. SiteUptime

Anyway, that’s all about it. Take this opportunity to send you weekly reports how your site has been doing every single week. In fact, this can also help you to determine whether your web hosting really is from third party perspective views. That’s why I earlier mentioned “try more than one web monitoring services” so that you can achieve more consistency with your site up-time and performance. Also, it will also help you to decide if you need to move to new web hosting.

In order to earn and make money is never easy and you always have to be prepared and ready for expected issues and unexpected hurdles. This is one of the things that you make time for yourself let the machine takes care of you and your website(s). So, if you are a great blogger, you can earn money while sleeping knowing that you are definitely earning rather than your site was down.

Moreover, if you are an IT infrastructure business, you may need online web monitoring services as well as server & networking services.  For my professional job, I use some of these server and networking services.  I strongly suggest Cacti and Nagios for my taste.

29 Apr 10 Blogs, Posts, Sales and my Call

These days, I saw more blogs, LOL, and yes, more push method sales.. I think it’s pretty weird ideas of bloggers to push sales, because most of those methods basically backfired. I will not really write cute titles like 10 things you should do, 5 things you can’t do, blah blah..

I probably would write one fact and that should be useful to my readers, PERIOD. If you are a blogger, you can put ads, 125×125 graphics, they are acceptable, because people know they are ads and they will be clicked by each own consent. But trying to embed amazon links and hi-speed download links into your blog is not only damaging bloggers’ images, but also not making a good money. If you want to sell Amazon stuff, just simply explain and sell it, the turnover could not be as good because people rather buy directly from Amazon and it’s actually their tricky marketing to bloggers, in one intention, just to get more people to know your brand.

And those direct sales links are not SEO friendly. Especially if you are using wordpress permanent link structure on your site, in which case many bloggers are using, it will just look ugly as it is, and you will be giving your good PR back to those affiliate sites. For me, try to provide information and let the consumer decides what they want to do with it, because push marketing will never be succeeded in the long run. In fact, I just unsubscribed one blog because it is turning into push marketing of its affiliates.  So, the bottom line is, I don’t know how much that site will be made and I won’t judge, but I am sure they lose one of their long term subscriber as of today.

Well, that’s for now. I write with real experience and I write only after I know. So, I am kind of not consistent with posts, but yeah, I try to blog every week as soon as I have some free time. Thanks for reading.

23 Apr 10 TubeMogul: Review

This week, I allocate myself to a few hours of reading time for tech blogs, and I am thankful for that, it’s been a while I have been reading blogs regularly and the improvement of my blog has been slow and poor. So, I decided that I will try to read 4-5 blog posts a day so that I can improve my blog as well as add more knowledge to myself as well.

So, today, I signed up with TubeMogul, which is a video uploading site that will enable other websites to synchronize the upload as well. I will test it and will get back to you with more details, but I feel happy that I don’t have to upload my videos to many places of course many times.

Upload a video once and easily deploy it to one or all of the top video and social networking sites. Track real-time viewership, performance and engagement analytics.

So, what are the features that’s included in TubeMogul???

TubeMogul OneLoad Supported Sites

 

Pretty neat? Huh? I actually like it and I will be updating how this will help me with my youtube files, SEO and SEM. So, if you haven’t given a try, I think it’s time to give it a try too. Thanks for reading.
