Before to starting with what analytics spam is, I tell you exactly what I did to install javascript code and what Google analytics does.

Google analytics is one of the best, if not “the best” reliable tool that give you a lot of information to know about where your visitors come from and how they interact with your site. It is an invisible web tracker, highly configurable hit counter and real-time detailed reporting analytics.

To install Google Analytics, all you need to do is place a small piece of code on each page of your site that you want to track. The best for myself and other web publisher is that the service is totally free.

Here, a good step-by-step instruction on how to install  Google Analytics:

1. To install Google Analytics for your website, all you need to do is sign up for a free account at http://analytics.google.com
2. Follow the steps provided by Google for creating a profile for your domain.
3. Once these steps are completed, Google Analytics will provide you with some HTML code that you are required to copy to your index.html/php.
4. To add the HTML code on your website use an FTP client such as Filezilla, or your site File Manager, and put it on your index.html/php file.
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the file where you see the following tag: *</body>
6. Right before the </body> tag, paste the lines of HTML code provided by Statcounter. Save the changes.
7. To access your stats, log in to your Analytics account at http://analytics.google.com.

So, what do we mean exactly by ‘tracked’? Well, each time a visitor comes to your site, Google Analitics is able to give a range of information from the to analyzing the performance of your sites.

• Setting Goals
• Comparing Date Ranges
• Deep Geographic Data
• Local Conversion Data
• Funnel Visualization
• Navigation Summary
• Complete AdWords Integration
• Site Overlay
• Let’s Bounce
• Keyword Source
• Referring Sites
• Browser Capabilities
• Search Engine Traffic

Do you know that the information that Google Analytics picks up about a visitor can be faked?

But, can we be one hundred percent certain that robot index website are not used for other purposes. A robot index website is a computer program that check link popularity on website. A file like “robots.txt” is used by search engines to categorize and archive web sites(for example: mydomain.com/robots.txt ).

I wonder if it is possible to build robots that index websites which do execute javascript. This is a great question, I’d love to get answer about this.

An Example Of Webite For Spam Prevention

I did a question because I was browsing SEOMOZ today when I read an interesting article posted by Tom C, where he talk about inflating traffic on Google Analitics through a robot index website. I’m agree with TomC when say that it’s possible to build an executive javascript that visit people’s sites.

If done well, the fake traffic would be hard to detect, but in reality most spammers will be lazy and won’t randomise their traffic enough, so if you look closely it’ll stand out.

What is the advantage? Well, there are two of advantages.

• Inflating natural traffic to your site in order to increase popularity
• Increasing link back and generate indexable pages with increasing page rank.

You might be skeptical about this, so check out this  case study of a fake website in action on his personal blog: The site in question is: http://iamready4u.synthasite.com/

You’ll notice it has auto-generated content and what look like an auto-generated link to my site. I have a hard time believing that this is genuine traffic (though I’m not 100% sure either way - which is what makes the whole prospect even more troubling)

Conclusion

Which are the future of Web Spam? I do not know if will be the next phase of spam?  Personally I doubt Google taking preventative measures to eliminate spam, but it wouldn’t surprise me if this will be a issue in the next months.

Today, I took one glance at my page view statistics and the number of pages an average person views on each visit to the3dtechnologies is 1.6.

If you previously have read my recent article you have noticed that the Google Adsense program requires ton of page impressions to getting those amount of money that everybody dream. I realize that for an novice can be very hard to getting that result. Thus, here, some easy tips to make it easy to increase your blog’s page views.

1. Add Related Posts To Your Blog - You may have noticed that a way most bloggers use to encourage readers to read multiple pages is by putting a related posts at the end of any article. I recomend to use similar-posts Wordpress plugin. This plugin displays a list of posts which are related or similar to the current post.

2. Create Interlink- This too is an important method to increase your blog’s page views, because allows you to highlight relevant posts within the content of your posts. Thus, you have more chance to link your posts together, so that readers can navigate through the different pages of your blog. It’s also won’t hurt the search engine ranking of those posts that you interlink as internal links count in SEO.

3. Quality Content - Another essential key rule for keeping visitors glued to your website is the quality content. You need to get into the mindset of each type of visitor to your site. Surfers become readers when a blog provides something that is wanted. If you write weak, boring articles, you’re giving the reader an express invitation to leave.

4. Post Collection - One of the most useful techniques to increase your page views is suggest 15 posts on your blog that readers might like to read. All you need to do is to place it on your left hand menu.

5. Using Excerpts - If you tend to write long articles, the main page can be difficult to navigate. One solution to this problem is the use of excerpts. With this technique, the reader comes to your blog does not need to scrolling to see all the articles on your main page. They can see not only the last post, the second and maybe even the third post, but only short pieces of text posted to the main page, thus, they are more likely to explore more than just the last thing you’ve written.

6. Highlight Key Posts - According to the aims of your blog you may choosing to putting an ads or affiliate program on your header. Also, you may wish to highlight key post that are important to your blog. Just putting your hottest post on your top menu.

7. Highlight Categories - One of the ways for you to make this, is to having the category name at the end of each post. I would reccommend to write something like “read more posts like this in our(insert category name)”.

Conclusion

These techniques could be the best thing for those who want increase page views. In my view these are effective strategies and I personally recommend to several bloggers that are just starting out while for those have a bit of experience can be a good reason to revisit them.

Many people complaining because don’t generate enough traffic with their website/blog. Also, very few part time bloggers make full time income from this low traffic. The following strategies are focusing primarily about how increase Adsense revenue for low traffic site. Yes, I can assure that this mini guide can help you to utilize your limited traffic site.

Be sure to target your content for high-paying keywords. Here is where initially I slipped up and perhaps a little elaboration would be useful, right? This pattern is worth a thousand words.

• With 0.10 click payout, you getting a $40 income you should getting 400 click.
• With 0.5 click payout, to getting a $40 income you should getting 80 clicks.
• With 1 click payout, to getting a $40 income you should getting 40 clicks.
• With 1.5 click payout, to getting a $40 income you should getting 26.6 clicks.
• With 2 click payout, to getting a $40 income you should getting 20 clicks.
• With 5 click payout, to getting a $40 income you should getting 8 clicks.

In this tutorial, ours interest is to getting $40 with only 8 clicks. As you can see above all you need to do is to try to come up topics from high paying services/industries. Recently I wrote an article about how using good adsense words that explain well how using AdWords Keyword Tool.

Write interest contest for high quality topic. Selling one product on a large general market is one of the biggest mistakes business owners make. They believe that if they selling their products on a limited market, they will get fewer sales. Focusing on a small niche market is very difficult but essential if you want to increase your income.

Getting an high number of click/day is a lot harder.  In this case is more easy to intervene on the CTR. We all know that the average CTR many bloggers get is around 1%. For instance: To generate $40 a site should have 40.000 impression with 0.10 payout per click. By improving CTR to 2% or higher site can generate the same income with half the traffic. In my recent article I give you some advice on how I can resolve this problem.

In the end I feel that they are the most important points to respect if you want getting something of more from your bad traffic site.

Let me tell you a way to make money with your website. This way is called “Web Hosting Affiliate Programs”.

You’ve probably seen using affiliate programs on numerous websites all over the internet. Affiliate programs allows people to earn a commission by publisher that refer to the program. Usually, web hosting companies look to obtain more customers through this type of programs. In my view,  is a very competitive market.

For web host, affiliate programs are one of the best ways to generate a strong promotion of their web hosting services. The returns in investment for each new customer is usually high as well, because each signup gives the web host recurring income over the long run.

I’ve had a bit of experience with affiliate programs and I believe web hosting affiliate programs can be a rather lucrative source of income. These web hosting affiliate programs work well for almost all types of websites, particularly if you are offering a site-building or website consultation service for clients or businesses. Is a fact of life that they offer high commission rates which can range from a minimum of $60 to over a hundred dollars just for referring a single customer who purchases a web hosting plan.

How You Can Make Money From Your Web Hosting Affiliate Programs

Solution1) One of the better way to make money from web hosting affiliate programs is by putting the affiliate links and banners on your existing websites. There are several web hosting out there that allow you to getting a nice commission by publisher that refer to the program.

Solution2) Another way is that to create a new website. Everything that you need is a web hosting service that includes an affiliate program.

If you are looking for a web hosting you can go on WebHostingRating.com, a web host rating site that includes a large searchable web hosting directory that features a complete range of information on all web hosting providers, web hosting tutorials, web hosting awards. Is one of the best collection of hosting information I ever seen.

I reccomend you the following Web Hosting Affiliate Programs:

• Hostgator(hostgator.com)
• Ixwebhosting(ixwebhosting.com)
• Lunarpages(lunarpages.com)
• Secure.hostican(secure.hostican.com)
• Bluehost (bluehost.com)
• Midphaseaffiliates(midphaseaffiliates.com)
• Dreamhost(dreamhost.com)

Once choosed I would recommend you to creating a pre-sell page instead of linking directly to the web host. Create an honest and complete review of a web host you are choose.

Step 3) When selecting hosting services for your new website make sure that is the same that host your website, so is more easy to be credible. From my own experience, I’d rather buy more from a website that know how a web hosting aervices work, instead of one that dont know. In brief, you are telling to your visitor that you’ve tested that web hosting.

Do you know that Google likes spam? It’s really so. It’s a well-known fact that Google does not index the entire Web, but is less known that Google get along with at leat 5% of the the spam that is generated. Of course, the key question is why Google like the remaining 5%.

One thing we all know is that Google is unable to stop all types of spam, while a few kind of spam that Google is able to stopping is does not completely banned from them.

Google contains more than 100 algorithms that make it the world’s most popular search engine and would like to maintain its No. 1 position in the industry. Despite this, we can not be one hundred percent certain that the Google results no includes spam sites.

Get attention at this image! What do we see here? Has Google forgotten to ban the spam? The answer is no. These sites are all obviously scraper sites, that Google has decided to let them be in its search results.

Usually, Google doesn’t bans the entire scraper sites. Google just penalize them when they have limited amounts of content on limited pages and get traffic,
in order to allow them to exist in its search results.

The common features of these scraper sites is that the words are all jumbled up-written one after the other in a casual way.

The Question are: Why?

My argument is that, Google would like to maintain its position the No.1 as search engine in the world and instead to show white pages for a few particular search term, Google opt to index website scrape.

We’ve seen that Google allows this scraper site to exit in their index, I’d imagine how many webmasters are thinking to use this method to look for some term that Google doesn’t have indexed, yet.

Is my argument is true, I think scraper site will never go away. What do you think?

I usually look for information about a certain product before I choose on selling it, in order to see if it’s expensive or not. For example, whether I’m selling stuff I’ll usually visit websites like paypal store.

Why? Because is important to estimate the products popularity through a feature that ranks users when they buy something. I like to have as much data as possible before selling something.

What Determine Advertising Rates?

We all know that search engines are the largely the first source used by customers when researching a product, with the official company site coming in second. Publishers are already categorized on base to niche, therefore most of the advertisers that buy links on these websites will have a natural inclination to buy links on your site as well.

Google PageRank. Google contains more than 100 algorithms that make it the world’s most popular search engine. One of those is PageRank, a complex voting search engine. Many advertisers have really care about PageRank. They believe is an important factor which determines the general traffic popularity of one’s site.

Alexa Ranking. There are some people who believe that Alexa Rank is fairly important when it comes to choosing a site.

Position of Ad on your site. Ads placed above the fold are seen immediately when the page loads without the user scrolling down, are generally more attractive to advertisers who are looking for traffic/exposure.

Number of links sold. An high number of link placed on your site will reduce the effective PR strength goes into each link and the brand retention by visitors.

Visitor Traffic. In brief is the No. of visitors and pageviews per day or month. In my view, this is the crucial factor for ad buyers  because it directly impacts the visibility and effectiveness of the advertiser’s ad over time.

Site visitor demographics. Certain advertisers with location-specific offers/products prefer that your traffic comes of visitors from a specific location or demographic. For instance, car selling beauty for men prefer on buying ads with websites that have a strong male demographic profile.

Size & Type of Ad. Visibility can influence ad rates. Does the advertiser want a banners and text links? Does the advertiser want a 125 x 125 button or a 120 x 90? Do you want place your ad or link on the sitewide or a single page.

Need to track sales leads?

Why supermarkets still look at the behaviour of visitors in their stores? Monitoring and measuring customer behaviour is the surest way to generate even more sales leads and to become the leading site.

By using CRM lead management and customer relationship management software, you are able to see clearly what customer are actually doing on your website and increasing sales and improving business.

These type of software changes the way companies look at customer and allows you to analyse which tactics are working and which aren’t.

This is important in order to see exactly how your site is performing and know which keywords deliver the most business leads.

Allows to develop your site to deliver an increase in turnover over the years through increased volumes of business leads.

Blog template optimization is an important part for your business because can bring an improve of your profit through Google Adsense or other contextual ad systems. When you selecting an Newspaper template with distinct ad blocks you make sure to increase your Click through rates and affiliate conversions.

If you’re looking for a magazine style theme that bring your business at the next level, then look at these 3 Newspaper Theme.

Why should I use Adsense Newspaper Templates?

The main reason why you should use an Adsense ready theme is simplicity. You don’t have need of html knowledge and there’s no need to make major adjustments to the template’s form.

Usually, all you need to do is to insert your Adsense publisher ID, it takes only a few minutes. In this way you can save a lot of time and work.

Also, Ads seen immediately without the user scrolling down, are usually more attractive to advertisers who are looking for improving their brand.

Some month ago, Google announced a beta launch for an online ad manager that allowed publishers to manage their own ad units. After the test prove positive, Google has launched Ad Manager to anyone who wants to use it.

What Is Google Ad Manager?

Google Ad Manager is a hosted ad management solution designed to sell, and track all of the performance of ad units sold.

If you have already an AdSense account all you need to do is to sign up for Google Ad Manager here. If you have not an AdSense account - you will need to sign up for a Google AdSense account first. The best thing about the Google Ad Manger is the cost - it’s absolutely free. As I said before, all you need to do is to have a Google Account, and you can use Google Ad Manager.

Some of the main features of Ad Manager includes:

• Inventory Management
• Yield Optimization
• Ad Targeting
• Trafficking, Ad Delivery, and Order Booking
• Creatives and Rich Media Management
• Reporting
• User Interface
• Administration

With these simple steps suggested here, you can start taking more proactive action to set up your banner ads base on the advertisers you want to display.

How To Get Started with Google Ad Manager

Go to Google Ad Manager, then click on “Inventory”, and you come to the “Ad Slots” section.
Now, all you need to do is to add a new “new ad slot” for each ad position. You may work with one, two, four, six, or more ad slot, but for this tutorial, I only need of four ad slots to publish.

Click on the “New Ad Slot” link at the top. I will create four new ad slots, and named them 125Adslot1, 125Adslot2, 125Adslot3, and 125Adslot4, respectively. I’ve also included one brief description for each Ad slot: “The first ad slot 125×125 at the top right bar on the3dtechnologies”, “The second Ad slot 125×125…..” and so no. Now your ad slot was set up.

Create An Ad Placement

Now, you need that all your advertisers see the ad slot 1 position, in order to getting the top position. Once come to the Ad Placements section, click on “Placements” under the “Inventory” tab. You should see a screen that looks somewhat like this:

Now click on “New Placement” and give it a name. I have named my Ad Placement, “the3dtechnologies 125 Left Top Zone.” I also added a brief description on the description box, “The Ads on the right top bae on The3dtechnologies”

Create Orders

Creating your banner ads is the next step, in order to be visible on your site. Go to create “Orders.” In your “Orders” section,  click on the Orders tab on the left of “Inventory.” You should see a screen that looks somewhat like this:

I named the Order, “Text Link Ads The3dtechnologies”, give it an external ID(tlat1, and set the “flight dates.” An important thing to set up is the Flight dates, becouse say you when you want to see your banner ads. I am setting the end date for illimitate while the billable party in this case is the advertiser.

The next step is to adding the ad into your blog. Go on “Ad Slots” and click on the link “Generate Sample HTML,” on the right. Click “add” next to each of the ads you added, in my case, the four ads.

Your first month of Adsense income comes and you are happy with what you have made! But what happens if your income drops down. I make a decent bit with adsense, thanks my experience, so I want give you 5 steps, are primarily on how integrate word that are considered “good” into pages that you write and could increase your Ad sense revenue.

1. Choosing A Good Informative Topic

A large range of topics work well with Google but some are more likely to work than others. For this example, I’ve chosen the topic “Affiliate”. For me the topic “Affiliate” is a general one, I want to choose a narrower subtopic to discuss, something like “Affiliate Program” or “Best Affiliate Programs”. Once you have determined that your topic will be suitable, you can move at the next step. Recently I’ve wrote an interesting article that can help you to choose the right post topic for your blog.

2. Get Right High Pay Keywords: No Price Too High

I usually encourage people to find keywords that are not pay high, but ones that bring a decent number of visitors on a website. For instance I’ve never once tried to use key terms as mesothelioma, legal advice, but pick words as “Affiliate” that have an high “approximative average volume”. In regards to writing, please remember that simply changing of words within will not increase revenue.

3. Approximate Average Search Volume

Keyword Analysis is an important point in Search Engine Optimization, in order to finding the average number of users searching particular keyword, Keyword value Geographical location of those users, etc.

“Approximate Average Search Volume shows the approximate average monthly number of search queries matching your keywords that were performed on Google and the search network over a recent 12-month period”

There are TONS of high search volume keywords out there. By using Ad words Keyword Tool you can find keywords that could probably get huge impressions. I’m hoping to getting ~100K pageviews soon.

If 50% of those pageviews become adsense impressions- 50K impressions with a 1% CTR at 20 cents a click is already 100$ a day.

4. Add Keywords

Once subdivided your articles into paragraphs, go on Adwords keyword tool, then type “Affiliate program” and click on the button. Below, I’ve included a few result:

• affiliate networks - €2,59
• affiliate marketing - €2,94
• affiliate - €2,21
• affiliate websites - €2,25
• affiliate programmes - €2,68
• best affiliate - €2,40
• adult affiliate - €2,26
• affiliate sales - €2,63
• affiliate income - €2,23
• affiliates program - €2,19

As I said first, I’d rather to use keywords that are not pay high, but ones that bring a nice traffic on my site. In brief, you should to finding the happy medium between the pay keywords and average volume search.

In this case the term “Affiliate Programs” has an average value of 2.30$ while “Adwords Keyword Tool” provides an average search volume of 673.000. Not bad, but is preferable more high, at least 1.500.000. At this point, make sure you are incorporated each keywords that are focused on what you’re writing about into each paragraph.

5. Build Your Adsense Title

Use the step 1, to create a very focused title in which you can include the key term “Affiliate”. For instance: “How To Choose An Affiliate Program”. Reade my recent article on how use Adword tool to create a post titles.

Many bloggers have started their own blog, steadily built up traffic, but if you write weak, boring bullet points, then you are giving the reader an express invitation to leave.

If you do not want to be like them, but you want to create an attractive, interesting, more visible web blog, today I’m going to highlight some of the best advice that maybe some people have never used or didn’t know before.

Capture Interest - You’ll know you’ve success if your readers raise their eyebrows. But where can I find topics that will get those eyebrows to go up?, scan aiderss.com, and you’ll almost  discover what goes on the major social bookmarking Digg and Delicous and what are the post that capture interest from the users.

Find your Topic - Diversifying your content from your competitors can be a danger when you write a blog post, Once identified your prefered topic look what publish other blog regularly to get an idea of what they write for that particular topic.

Establish Prior Email Contact - Don’t try to selling something or promoting your website by sending an email to the blogger, here is where many bloggers wrong. Make them a specific question or simply thank them for their useful website. You can also give a feedback on the site in general in order to suggest something that you think would be beneficial. Adseblog has wrote an interesting post on his site on how installing a feedback script on the blog.

Promote You Site with Social Media - I believe in the value that a social media strategy can bring to any site or business. Digg, Facebook, or Stumbleupon are one of the easiest way to get free traffic to your blog. Recently I’ve wrote an interesting article on how getting an high rank on Digg. While for Stumbleupon lovers, here how getting 1000 unique visitors from your own blog.

Use Alternative Channels - A great way to get visibility is to contact the bloggers on microblogging platforms. This method is not utilized by many people so you will have a blog that will stand out amongst thousands of blog. Here is a collection of micro blogging networks you can use for your website. All of them are similar in features and I wanted include some non-English micro blogging networks as well.

• Twitter
• Jaiku
• Pownce
• Dukudu (German)
• Frazr (French or German)
• Zuosa (Chinese)

Link to them and send them traffic - Put a link to the blogger you are targeting in order to get you traffic and exposure in return. This works particularly well in your blog because you are send them a bit of traffic and let the blogger know that you support their website. Put them on your blogroll if you have one.
