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.

Today, I decided to have my site be integrated with at least one plug-in because it has been a while I added some useful plugins. Needless to say, I haven’t seen much better plugins than I am currently using, so it’s been really a while.

It is pretty hard because most of the plug-ins do not really impress me, but this one has got something that I would say “WORTH IT”.

To install plug-ins in wordpress has never been easier and all you need is to enter the plugin name in the text field search box, so this one is called “Broken Link Checker“. As soon as you installed and activated this plug-in, you will be able to see on your Dashboard as follows;

broken link checker plug-in

Once you click what the plug-in has found, you can see the following display, which is fantastically easy to edit, remove link or edit URLs that were no longer valid.

broken link list

For me, most of these are silly comments with their URLs, so it’s easy to take them out anyways. However, if you have several dead links, big search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN will discount your website credibility because you have been hosting too many broken links.

Besides, this plug in will help you with your SEO because limiting useless outgoing links are just wasted on your site. Since I am actually using do-follow methods on my site, I have to be more careful with links incoming and outgoing.

So, the bottom line is, I recommend this Plug-in and am happy to use it. Have you ever used this plug-in or do you think you will use it in the future? What do you think?

Another overloading time for Twitter today, My time 29th  April, 2010 at 10:09:42 am.

I am pretty upset with twitter lately as I don’t want to use external APIs to connect. It is because there are too many APIs connecting and looks like the site has been overloaded frequently. With the massive amount of messages flying around the net, especially evening time for US will be pretty much a lot of traffic and load balancing machines at Twitter can probably do nothing about it.

At the other hand, it’s fantastic massive traffic flowing in and out of Twitter and I think twitter can actually give you pretty much of SEO advantage over time, because the indexing method with Twitter is not so bad even though first generated TWEET is not necessarily creating massive traffic. So yea, SEO/SEM wise, it’s a great approach, and it is well-used by many others now.

Anyway, another disappointing experience with Twitter this week, AGAIN and I hope they will improve their accessibility soon.

These days, I am a regular reader rather than a blogger. It is because writing a blog can be sometimes time consuming. Besides, I have been relocating countries and it took about 6 months of my regular blogging habits. So, Yes, I will have to practice to blog again.

To be honest, nowadays, I like to read and review other sites because I find that facinating for other bloggers who have been brilliant with their blogs. I would not rather get an idea or copy/paste other people work, but I actually like to share with what I read, because some of the blogs may not be in your reach while I have done my SEO/SEM works, So, at least, this will reach out to my readers as well.. As you know reviewing is one of my interests while I am blogging.

Today, I read about the title 10 Things Your Blog Doesn’t Need. And It is simple but yet fantastic read, so that you will enjoy like I did.

Reference: Jill Smokler blogs about parenting; the good, the bad and the scary at Scary Mommy. She can be found at on Twitter as @scarymommy.

Generally, People tend to write about great articles and fantastic posts about how to get a traffic, SEO related topics, SEM marketing hits and social networking sources.

What I like about plug-ins for wordpress is somehow not new. But if we choose correctly, definitely It is useful for many bloggers. I am sometimes skeptical about some plug-ins but some plug-ins are definitely fantastic.

I would suggest some of the killer plug-ins are not only useful but also help bloggers to gain more traffic and facilities as well as flexibilities. Speaking of killer plug-ins, if you are usual blogger in all niches and sorts, below are the ones that should not be missed for plug-ins.

• All in one SEO pack – Out-of-the-box SEO for your WordPress blog
• CommentLuv – Plugin to show a link to the last post from the commenter’s blog by parsing the feed at their given URL when they leave a comment. Rewards your readers and encourage more comments
• Contextual Related Post – Show user defined number of contextually related posts
• SABRE – Simple Anti Bot Registration Engine
• Sociable – Automatically add links on your posts, pages and RSS feed to your favorite social bookmarking sites
• Subscribe to Comments – Allows readers to receive notifications of new comments that are posted

I would strongly recommend these plugins for starters, there are many useful plugins for specific niches, however, these six plugins along with Akismet are basically essential tools for wordpress fans. I happily use it for all my wordpress sites too.

So, if you haven’t tried all of the above plug-ins, now it’s time you get to use the opportunity because I will not write a single post that is not useful for my readers. Thanks for reading.

About Domain names

The importance of domain name is critically important. Most of the great domain names are taken and I still see them doing little use at all. Some people just bought them for ages and finally they gave up using it because they did not really have a business plan or model to implement it. On the other hand, I saw some people bought unimaginable domain names and also failed with terrible domain names. So, I will discuss a little bit about domain names that comes to my mind.

As long as it takes domain names

Try to avoid it. Some people thought it is extremely important to have keywords in the domain names. It is true in branding, for example, Zytech or Microsoft, they are not really meaningful as a matter of words, but they are meaningful to the brand name. If you are building your brand, it is good to use long domain names, but of course, up to the limit where people can accept, not like cheap-best-reasonable-online-shopping-place.com is too much to remember. The ideal selection is to have not more than 12 letters without the TLD domain names (.com, .net, .tv, .org, .us).

Shorter domains

It is actually good to have shorter domain names, because when you use email promotion or even someone has to email you, you would want comfortable and easy to remember email address. Another tip is to use short form like infomm.com which could actually mean a long meaning, but also fairly easy to remember.

Dashed domains

I do not like dashed domains, be realistic, why do you use dash? The odds are, someone has already registered the name already without dashed, therefore, you need to have to dashed, consequently, that means you will possibly lose your visitors to that domain without dash as well. For example, onebest.com versus one-best.com, the name is fantastic, easy to remember, fits most of the businesses with quality and quantity, unfortunately,  people may not type – (dashed) all the time and it might lead your potential visitors to another website.

Multiple domains

One domain costs basically less than $10, if you are going to do a reputable and good business, why not spend a little bit more for your domain related and use additional parked domain which is now very easy to do so. For example, if you have bestchef.com and someone can actually buy bestchefs.com for your possible traffic and potential income. So, never feel that is not required to spend, perhaps it will be your best $10 spent in the future. Also, if you have several domains that are not used, just parked to the domain that is in full functions, or, you can actually park and display ads with Google AdSense as well. The bottom line is, do not let your domain unused at all.

So, good luck with your domain names, I will write more about domain name and its related topics soon to give you more depth. It is best when you click and read my particular topic rather than just reading through because at the end of the each post, you may find related posts that are very useful and relevant to my main post. Thanks for reading.

Yesterday, Google updated PageRank again. I was expected to see end of June for new updates, however, it was only two months from last update and now it has updated again.

I am not really a big fan of Google PR, but It is always good to get my PR raised again by +1 in most of my sites and pages. It’s fantastic for me, because I know all my link building, SEO/SEM and hard work have paid off.

So, how about your site(s)? Any improvements?

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.

Extend Your Domain Registration Length For Better SEO

I absolutely love it, what do you think?

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.

Many SEO do this with short cut, fast and ineffective ways. As I have mentioned before in link building posts, it is imperative that getting quality backlinks are important.

However, many SEO people use massive submissions instantly and now many search engines discount and devalue several types of backlinks for Page Rank system. However, it is not the end of the world, you still get some quality traffic if you build gradually and right ways. Do not just alarm search engines with thousands of inbound links in a single month just to get traffic, build slowly and build properly. So, following are off-page optimization methods that you can implement.

• Inbound link anchor text, the text in the paragraph neighboring that anchor text
• On page relevancies that link to the page
• Appropriate directory listing and categories your site is listed in
• Titles of the pages linking to your particular page

Make sure you read guidelines from Google, Yahoo!, MSN Live, Ask.com and DMOZ before you submit your site too.:)

Happy Link Building

Well, From now on, I decided to write a shorter version of entry for a while to take a look at my audience reading behavior for maybe a month or so. It’s always important that I have to ensure and validate what I write, so that I do not digress.

So, what do search engines really want? They definitely want

1. text format
2. clear-cut writing
3. no frame
4. not many tables
5. not very graphical intensive
6. less java scripts
7. possibly non-shockwave files
8. no keyword stuffing/spamming
9. properly linked
10. good internal linkage
11. no html errors including any kind of programming language
12. appropriate headers and titles

This is not what people usually want but in order to persuade search engines cherish your sites by not over-accessorizing your site with bombarding these unfriendly search engine materials. Then, you are technically good with your SEO mission. Remember, you always write for your audience, not for search engines bots, but when you write, you can make use of these advantages, so that not only your audience will love it, but also search engine bots would.

Many MMO and SEO guys talk about PR every now and then, Recently, new PR from Google has been updated. Does it do any good for you or bad? For me, I never care about PR much because it’s just a measurement of Google. I understand higher PR, we can sell links and etc, but I care more about unique and repeated traffic which will eventually bring success to you in the long run.

The funny thing is Google has been kind to me. I use do-follow enabled plugin which is actually a good one for WordPress bloggers, many actually said that once you have do-follow, you actually got hurt in PR, however, I believe that comment URLs are actually artificial link building and so that it doesn’t really matter about back links, maybe you generate some more traffic.

pagerank

I allowed do-follow commenting on 25th Feb 2009 with this entry named “Advantages of do-follow Plugin for WordPress“. At the beginning of the April, I have my first PR update. This site went PR0 to PR1 and another music video site of mine got went PR0 to PR2, they are relatively very young sites, both not older than 6 months. However, I have done link building carefully and slowly. So, in a couple of months, I am sure I will have something else to write about this again. Bottom line, don’t worry about giving do-follow enabled comments, because many sites are now exclusively collecting do-follow sites just for link building purpose.

So, my conclusion, I am stoked about getting my PR raised, but does it really matter? Not really. But this is a good example of doing things accordingly. So, check out my Massive Traffic and AtoZ SEO categories for more techniques and tips about getting good clean organic and natural traffic. My link building system is slow, because I am personally experimenting it, you get to do it faster because I have documented it every time I experience new techniques.
