16 May 09 Google AdSense Ads

Got this notice yesterday, for me I am not getting 20k a month from AdSense, so it’s okay.. LOL.

Have anyone experienced this too? I hope it wasn’t so bad.

For about an hour this morning, beginning at 7:48am PDT, we experienced a global network routing issue. As a result, fewer or no ads were served to some publishers during this time. Our engineers have since resolved the issue, and we’re working to ensure that this doesn’t recur. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience.

07 May 09 The expiry date of domain registration Vs Google

Well, I am not a super blogger and can’t write many blogs anyways. There are actually two reasons regarding this.One, I don’t produce my articles on daily basis and I don’t write much unless there’s something I can definitely deliver to my audience.

I love to visit some websites and blogs just to learn more because there are fantastic people who write absolutely wonderful articles about other things.

Anyway, today, I stumbled across this blog article about domain registration length and SEO (search engine optimization), and it is actually intriguing. The article is actually part of their 30 days SEO training. I am against with duplicate content and love to credit to the original author. So, credit to thekeywordacademy.com, here is the post about Domain name expiry date vs Google SEO.

07 May 09 How to gain Twitter Followers effectively and quickly

Want to get Twitter followers efficiently? These are some of the facts you actually do not be able to find. Because I do experience myself in order to share my knowledge to you. Not to take some points from other people’s work. And yes, I do things slowly, but do it right to make the best out of it.

But you will not definitely find my post short cut or gain 20,000 followers within a week, but you will have steady increase number of followers, let’s say 50-100 members of followers a day if you build a good relationship with your followers.

Things you can’t easily find out on Google search about Twitter?

You can see thousands of blog articles written online, but when you hit 2000 following, not followers, you are stuck.. Why? because twitter put limits on following at 2000, unless your followers are properly ratioed. I am shocked to learn that internet gurus hardly talk about twitter limit. It’s probably one of the most important things you need to know about Twitter, read more here about twitter follow limit.

Twitter marketing?

Twitter is probably one of the hottest tool for internet marketing people. I do little bit of marketing for my websites, but never spam on your status. The point is you have 140 characters to do marketing on your status, the more follower, the better chance that they will see your status quite intriguing and click your URL (your URL can be shorten, meaning, no matter how long your blog post or URL is, it will actually be reduced to 18-20 characters). Moreover, you can actually hide if you are posting affiliate links, so that drives you more possible sales conversion as well. So, be wise for your 140 characters and make use of best possible punch line.

Twitter following and followers?

You will probably see have 15,000 followers in 3 weeks or I make 20k followers in 1 month thing around. My suggestion is not to spend a dime and get consistent and real followers for you. Remember, more than 50% of twitter members follow to get followers consequently can broadcast our status to the followers. It is neither geo-targeted nor niche-targeted. But always keep in mind, people want to build up relationships in Twitter, simple build up your relationship with your followers and following members.

My Motto @ Twitter

Follow me, follow you attitude. I always try to follow anyone who followed me. This is the right way to build up relationship with your followers. Of course, some people cannot follow you back right away because they probably reach twitter limits and stuck with following limits. Some people may not actually follow you permanently too. But that’s okay, you win some, you lose some. But once you build a good relationship to anyone, it does not matter, you will slowly build your Twitter network stronger than ever. Take a look at my follower at Twitter, you will see my total followers. If you want effectively gain twitter follower fast, just follow the people who followed me, because they actually followed me right away and they keep their following permanently. Check out my followers.

Here comes the most important thing, you would want to build your list slowly, so that you will not be stuck with twitter limits. So, make sure you follow like 100 members a day. Next day, you keep your following. Even you have 1000 following limits, you can actually get stuck if your following and follower ratio is not propotionate. So, follow properly, but not aggresively. While following maintain good relationship and RT other tweets, so that people will actually get to know you.

I made a lot of friends in Twitter, I barely know, But If someone Tweet such as “Share me some of your SEO tools”, and I just gave back RT (re-tweet) or DM (direct message).. In a couple of hours, i will get “thanks for the tools”, etc etc.

Nevermind about too many interests?

No, people don’t mind, they want what they want to. Sometimes, I tweet about myself. Once I tweet, This is so boring day, I will definitely get back “same here”, “rainy day and sleepy”, in a couple of minutes. Sometimes, direct to my Twitter login. That’s how you create your relationship, Now, I even search blogs on Twitter rather than Google, because you get more filtered as people would share or announce some good articles. When you focus on marketing alone, I don’t think it gives you real joy of using twitter. I gained heaps of friends in Basketball tweets, but never disappointed in my SEO/SEM discussions too.

Requirements for Twitter Members?

No, I am just being cheesy with the subtopics. There’s no requirement needed, but always treat other people with respect and have fun. Don’t just login to share your blog post with alot of URLs. Because many people check out your profile before they add you and when they see very few updates, they know they cannot do any interactive relationship with you and perhaps will not add you in their list. And some people get annoyed by constantly advertising your URL every single update of yours. So, be involved in community while doing your marketing at the same time.

So, Good luck and hope you get good Twitter campaign for your marketing, social networking, jobs, searches or even fun stuff to read.

28 Apr 09 Google AdSense and Analytics Integration

Today, I just login to my AdSense account and see that I can now link up my AdSense account and Analytics account to each other. So, without further ado, I linked them up.

It is a good thing overall, I have a feeling google will integrate everything to Google AdSense for publishers little by little, past 4 months, i saw google integrated parked-domain ads and adsense for feeds.

The advantage is, you can actually see more detailed stats about your earning, but disadvantage is Google can track you even better whether you have duplicate AdSense accounts, your office/home IP address, and your web browsing behavior. Just my 2 cents.

18 Mar 09 SERPs VS PR – Link Building Part 4

Understanding of SERPs VS PR is a common misconception about link building. That is not an issue anymore once you read this. Well, many people think having huge amount of backlinks will give you top results in SERPs (search engine result pages). It is a myth.

Google considers many factors for your website/blog ranking in search results, it is fair to say that PR players indirect role in SERPs, but higher PR doesn’t mean higher SERPs at all. Sometimes in search result pages in Google, you may probably see PR1 sites results showed up higher than PR4 sites. Try some keywords about it, You will definitely learn that PR is not as useful as you believe to be. Of course, higher PR will give you potential impression, but not complete monetization result for you. That’s why SEO experts work for SERPs whereas SEO beginners work for PR. The mystery of SERPs is nobody exactly knows every single detail search engine algorithms and their technologies since they are using million of terms and variables. Here are some of the facts you can actually learn about getting higher in SERPs.

• keywords optimizations and relevancy (avoid keyword spamming and get to the point, for example, if you are selling shoes and you put completely spammy words such as free download, even you have a brochure PDF file to give away free, the relevancy % is highly unlikely to match to your entire site, Remember, it’s called “KEYWORD”, the word that is key to you)
• anchor text of the links (what you explained and the URL)
• previous factors of your site history (To name a few… the age of the websites, the content of the websites, how frequently you update, how good your internal linking is, how quickly a particular page is linked or indexed..etc)
• quantity of links from other sites to certain searched keywords
• quality of links from other sites to certain searched keywords
• human ranking (just introduced a couple of months ago where people can rank their search results, let’s say if you found what your looking for in page 2 of SERP, you can actually move up to page 1 yourself).

Lately, I do not actually have any internal linking because I do not want my readers to click on each URL like a wild goose chase (clicking another URL before finishing this and that). However, below you can see the related posts, so that you can read more about what is relevant with this post (I deliberatelly assign certain keywords to relevant posts so that you can actually keep reading for more).

Thanks for reading
